- The Reigning Ones Pt l
by Nita LaFond Johnson
God wants us, as His Bride,
to desire to go higher in Him. He longs for us to go deeper into the life
of the Kingdom than we ever knew we could. Darkness is encroaching upon
the earth in these days more than ever before. I think about the days of
Rome, I think about the days prior to the coming of our Lord, and I wonder
if our days are not actually darker than those days. There are things in
the Heavenlies which we know not of, things hidden in the darkness of
which we are not yet aware. Although we may not see things that seem more
insidious than in those earlier days, we are learning that they do exist,
and the reality of this is going to be upon us sooner than we think.
The reigning ones – those
glorious beings who are about to come on the scene and who are going to
change the face of Christianity – this is the topic of this message.
Isaiah 11:2-5. “And the
Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him-- the Spirit of Wisdom and
Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and Might, the Spirit of Knowledge
and of the reverential and obedient Fear of the Lord-- and shall make him
of quick understanding, and His delight shall be in the reverential and
obedient fear of the Lord. And He shall not judge by the sight of His
eyes, neither decide by the hearing of His ears; but with righteousness
and justice shall He judge the poor and decide with fairness for the meek,
the poor, and the downtrodden of the earth; and He shall smite the earth
and the oppressor with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His
lips he shall slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of
His waist and faithfulness the girdle of His loins.”
This passage was about the
coming Messiah, the One for Whom Israel was to look. It was intended to
help Israel understand what to look for when the Messiah would arrive.
However that is not all this passage is about. Please let me explain…
Years ago, from 1987-1989, I
began to fervently pray for something very specific every single day. I’d
pull the Bible out and lay it on my lap and I would pray, “Lord, I know
that this is about our Messiah.” (I’m Jewish, and that’s why I talk to Him
this way.) “I know that this is about our Messiah. I know this is about
Jesus, but something in me causes me to want this more than I want to
breathe. I want this to be in me, on me. It feels like it’s the very
government of the Kingdom, and Lord, I want it so badly. If I’m praying
amiss, and this is offensive to You - because it is for Jesus only - then
please forgive me. However, if I’m not praying amiss and if I, too, can
have this, then please confirm it to me.”
I continued in this vein
every single day for two years. I know that it was for two years, because
when the Lord appeared to me, He told me I had been praying it for two
years. I had my Bible open and I was praying this passage, just like I
just shared with you, when Jesus suddenly appeared. He said to me, “Nita,
come stand beside me.” So I did. When I did, a double yoke, like you would
see on two heads of oxen, appeared on His shoulders and expanded until it
appeared on my shoulders and we became double-yoked. When that occurred,
all of my human passions went down and out my feet. My own human love, my
own sense of human happiness and joy, all of my human passions, both
positive and negative went down, emptied out of my soul, and then left
through my feet. When I was completely emptied of all of these human
passions, everything that was going on inside of Jesus began to fill me
through this double yoke until I was filled with the Spirit of the Lord,
the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and Might,
the Spirit of Knowledge and the reverential and obedient Fear of the Lord.
When I became filled with these, my mind became completely altered. My
heart completely changed. My soul was completely transformed.
Keep in mind that every day
of my life since the day I got saved just about every thought that goes
through my mind has been about Jesus; I just can’t stand not to think
about Him. I love Him so much. I want Him so badly. I want as much of Him
as I can get. I am always thinking about the Lord, but at that moment, I
was no longer thinking about Jesus because Jesus was inside of me and
thinking through me, feeling through me. You might say, “When you got
saved, Jesus entered you,” and that is true, He did. His Spirit came into
my spirit. But there is another level of Christian experience that is not
taught to the body of Christ. Very few people know about it because very
few people have ever been willing to pay the price to know this level of
oneness with God. Yet, it is open to anyone. When all that was in Him
began to fill me, it was as if Jesus unzipped my back and climbed right
into my soul, and, as a result, my soul was completely emptied of all self
and filled with Him.
In Philippians, Chapter Two,
it talks about Jesus coming down from heaven and the self-emptying He went
through in this process. Through the emptying of self, the believer is
able to experience an infilling of God. The beautiful part of this is that
you can experience this reality in ways you have never imagined (Eph
3:20).
So there I stood, filled
with the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, the
Spirit of Counsel and Might, the Spirit of Knowledge and the reverential
and obedient Fear the Lord. I thought of nothing that did not come from
Him. He provoked my every thought. He initiated and ruled my every
passion. If He did not desire, I did not desire. If He thought, I thought.
If He did not think, I didn't think. His thoughts became my desires. I was
totally possessed with Christ. And He said to me, “You have been praying
this passage every day for two years, and I want you to know that what you
are now experiencing is the fulfillment of this passage. This is what it
means to be filled with the Seven Spirits of God. What you are now
experiencing is the life filled with the Seven Spirits of God.” I was in
awe. When you are filled with God in this way, your soul is engulfed by
God. You still live here on this earth, yet your soul is lifted up into
the life of the Spirit, and you are in constant fellowship and communion
with the Godhead.
This is an entirely
different experience in our Christian faith. It is a very high calling. In
fact, it is the highest of all callings, to be dead in Christ, to be alive
only to Him, and dead to the world. In a recent teaching, Chuck Metteer
mentioned the Scripture wherein Jesus said, “…the ruler of this world is
coming, and he has nothing in Me.” (John 14:30) Then He said, “Come, let
us leave.” This is what it means to live a life where Satan has lost all
hold on your soul. This is where all Christians were called to walk. Any
Christian who has not reached this pinnacle of faith has not reached the
highest level for which they were created. They've settled for second
best. They settled for less in life than they could have had. I am
explaining this to you so that you understand that the “Reigning Ones”
will walk in this place. To reign and rule with Christ the way we were
intended, the way that we were created to do, means that we reign in two
spheres. We reign in the heavenlies, being totally possessed by Christ,
and we reign on the earth. We reign on the earth because we reign in the
heavenlies. We reign from a heavenly position.
The reigning ones – why are
they so important to the body of Christ today? Because great darkness is
coming upon the face of the earth and things are changing. The world is
never going to be the same again. Things are changing so dramatically that
God must intervene for His Church. He is going to do that, and He is going
to do that through the “Reigning Ones.” These who are emptied of the world
and filled with Christ are going to come with anointing to help the Church
enter into a place of spiritual maturity, spiritual safety, and spiritual
wealth – something the Church cannot enter into without their help.
A minister in the pulpit who
does not have a prayer life can preach the Word, but they cannot carry you
where they, themselves, have never gone. They can talk to you about sacred
things, but if they don't walk there, they cannot impart to you something
that they have never lived. If they don't have a prayer life, they have
never lived in the most important aspect of the kingdom that God has
granted to the people of this earth, because you can only get to these
higher places through prayer. God must have people who are sanctified,
separated, set aside, and who have abandon the ways and the things of this
world, so that they can impart to the Church these higher things in order
to stabilize the Church as we enter into these dark times.
What do these ‘higher
things’ look like? When I was talking to the Lord during that experience,
I have to tell you, I have never felt so free of pride. Jesus had no
pride. Of course we know that He has no sin, but to us it is a monumental
thing to walk without pride. He had no pride. So, being filled with Him,
I, too, had no pride. I was immersed in a humility so deep that I was
incognizant of my own existence. I was incognizant of any desires outside
of the Father. He said, “I would like you to go to a certain area,” and He
named the area in Africa where looting and rioting was taking place and
people were being murdered – a terrible, terrible place. He told me the
name of that place and He let me see life as it was lived there. And He
asked me, “Will you go there and take the Gospel?” Then He said: “You will
suffer. When they find you, they will persecute you, they will abuse you;
you will suffer in doing this for Me.”
But, because I was free of
pride, that didn't matter. I looked at Him and I said, “I want to be where
You are. I want to please You. If it will please You for me to go there
and suffer for Your name’s sake, and it will bring You glory, that's all I
want. So if you're asking me to go, I will go, and I will do it with joy.”
My heart was filled with joy. There was no fear over any kind of suffering
I might go through.
That is how the Lord lived.
He didn't fear the suffering that He was called to walk through. It was
His joy to do the will of the Father. He was filled with joy. No amount of
suffering mattered to Him. The joy of the Father kept Him, carried Him,
and sustained Him, until He saw the fruit of His travail. When you are
emptied of self and you are filled with God, you walk in that same joy.
The Bible says that one of
the seven spirits of God is the fear of the Lord. Truly, I was filled with
the fear of the Lord. I would not sin against Him. You could not have made
me sin against Him, because I was filled with the fear of the Lord. I
understood what was and what wasn't sin. I say this because most of the
Church that is present on the Earth today has a very poor understanding of
what sin really is. So many things that we don't know are sin, actually
are sin to God. When you walk close to Him, little by little, He increases
your understanding of what is sin and what is not. He gives you
discernment of the more subtle things that He qualifies as sin. And of
course, the more He releases this information to you, the greater is the
fear of God and the more you want to be free of these things that offend
Him. When you walk in the place that I just shared with you, you become
aware of the things that offend the Lord, things that most Christians
would never dream would be offensive to God. These things become deeply
offensive to you because they are to Him. If you walk in the life of
purity, you walk in a life of holiness. You would not offend God with your
words, you would not offend God with your heart, you would not offend God
with your actions, because you live in the fear of God.
But what does it look like
if you could see the condition of the soul of someone who walks in this
place?
Matthew 17:2-5. “And His
appearance underwent a change in their presence; and His face shone clear
and bright like the sun, and His clothing became as white as light. And,
behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah who kept talking with Him.
Then Peter began to speak and said to Jesus, ‘Lord, it is good and
delightful that we are here; if You approve, I will put up booths here -
one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.’ While he was still
speaking, behold, a shining cloud [composed of light] overshadowed them,
and a voice from the clouds said, “This is My son, My beloved, with Whom I
am [and have always been] delighted. Listen to Him!"
This is the inner appearance
of one who has been transfigured in Christ. Their soul is illuminated by
the light of God. It shines from within, a wonderful illumination, because
there is no sin, no cloud of darkness in the soul. That has all been
removed. The soul has been purified and emanates pure light. The soul has
been brought back to the pre-fall state of existence, the very life that
Adam himself walked in.
The transfigured reigning
one, now lives with their soul filled with Christ. If you were to see it
with your natural eyes, you would see exactly what the men saw on the
mount of transfiguration emanating from the Lord. He took them into this
experience not just to reveal what God said, but to reveal to them a call,
for anyone who would, to enter into the same life they were seeing in Him.
He was demonstrating for them that life to which God, has becond the
Church. I wish I could help you understand how awesome this is, how
wonderful this is, how powerful this is, how possible this is. This is to
be highly desired, highly prized. This is to be desired above all things
in life.
Is it real? It is more real
than the chair you are sitting on. Jesus set the stage for it that day,
revealing it to His disciples, knowing that this whole scene would be
recorded in the Gospels. He did it to tell the Church that you are called
back to Him. This is what you lost, this is where I'm carrying you, this
is where I want you to come, this is where I want you to live, above the
temporal plane and in the life of the Spirit. Do you still walk with your
feet on the ground? Yes. Just like the Lord did. But your soul is in
constant fellowship with and constant abiding in Christ. Now when you are
so purged, so purified, as I described to you right now, God can entrust
you with heaven's authority. It's safe in your hands because you will not
use your mouth incorrectly, you will not use the authority to bring harm
to someone. You will do only good with it, because He owns your heart. God
can entrust you with heaven's authority, and this is what is needed in
this hour of darkness. The Church needs this authority to pull itself
above the storm that is coming. God has determined within Himself that He
is going to take home a Church that is without spot or wrinkle. What I've
just shared with you is what it means to live without spot or wrinkle. It
means that through the work of the Holy Spirit you are brought to a place
of inner purity. Your soul has been purified and made the dwelling place
of Jesus.
Several years ago, I was
going through the process of trying to make a very difficult decision. I
spent three days and nights in prayer and fasting, during which time I did
not leave my prayer closet. All the time that I was praying there was a
magnificent Angel standing beside me. When I finished my time in prayer
and made the decision that I had to make, the Angel turned to me and said,
“Now, I'm going to explain to you about the mighty men of valor that are
going to come on the scene.” He gave me an understanding that there is
coming a company of people – he called them the “Mighty Men of David” and
the “Mighty Men of Valor.” I talk about them in my book Melchizedek. I
believe I also talk about them in the book Prepare for the Winds of
Change. These books will help you understand more of what I'm sharing with
you tonight. In my writings, I talk about these people who are going come
on the scene, the Mighty Men of Valor. These people are going to have the
authority and the power to bring down great, long-standing strongholds
that have crippled the Church and have crippled the world in places where
the Gospel cannot enter because of these strongholds. These men and women
of valor will go in to a nation and in a moment clean the skies of that
place so that the Gospel can go in to meet the needs of the people. But,
more than that, they will have the capacity to bring healing to the human
soul. The Church will be brought into a place of valor because of these
men of valor. When they preach, when they teach, when they pray for
people, strongholds of the soul will come tumbling down and be stripped
away in a moment. They will have the authority of heaven to do that and to
bring the Church into a place of stability.
Zachariah 10:5-6 “And
they shall be like the mighty men treading down their enemies in the mire
of the streets in the battle, and they shall fight because the Lord is
with them, and the [oppressor's] riders on horses shall be confounded and
put to shame. And I will strengthen the house of Judah and I will save the
house of Joseph [Ephraim]. I will bring them back and cause them to dwell
securely, for I am mercy, loving-kindness and compassion for them. They
shall be as though I had not cast them off, for I am the Lord their God,
and I will hear them"
I’m reading these two verses
together because these men of valor will not only affect the Church, they
will affect Israel. God is calling His people Israel back to Him at this
very moment. Everything that is going on in the Middle-East in this hour
is for the purpose of preparing Israel for God. God is doing a work
through these difficult times. He is causing their hearts to let go of
their hope in the land, and begin to stretch forward, stretch out, and
stretch forth their hand to grab hope in God, and this is just what Israel
needs. I am Jewish, I understand the way they think; I understand the
mindset of the way the Jew looks at the land. God has to do this. He has
to allow what is going on in the Middle-East, to get the Jewish heart
looking for their Messiah, and as they look for their Messiah, God is
going to send ambassadors into Israel to help their eyes be free of
blindness and help their hearts turn to Christ. God is doing a work, He’s
doing a work in the Middle-East, but it also signifies the work that He’s
doing in the Church. He wants a Church whose heart is yearning, not for
the world, but for the Lord. He wants the eyes of the Church off of the
things in the world that keep us so busy that we don’t have time to pray
or study the Word – anything that prevents us from having the time to come
to know Jesus the way we have been called to know Him.
There is a work that He
wants to do in the Church, and these Mighty Men of Valor will come forward
and begin to do it. And because of the anointing that is upon their lives,
the work will be accomplished quickly, and will prepare the Church for the
coming of the Melchizedek Priesthood, which will lift the Church up to
rule and to reign in the heavenlies while here on this earth. The Bride
that God has called for from the beginning of time will be birthed in this
last hour, and He is even now preparing the vessels that will prepare the
Church to come into this heavenly calling. They are the Reigning Ones. He
has been working with them for many years, decades, to prepare them to be
used to help His Bride. It is incredible! God is so good. He is so
faithful. He loves His Church. He cares about His Church. He knows that
the Church is asleep. She has been asleep for so long that she does not
even realize that she is asleep. The Church thinks that if we go to church
on Sundays and sing our happy worship songs and love the Lord on Sunday –
and then we do not open our Bibles or pray again for the rest of the week,
but rather sit with our eyes fixed on television, books we should not
read, magazines we should not look at and we’re busy shopping, it will be
okay as long as we are in church the following Sunday.
Friends, there is something
higher that we need to keep our focus on. The time is short. The hour is
getting dark, we need to quit spending our resources on things that cannot
profit, and began to spend them on the Kingdom and knowing Christ. Times
are getting hard. The flood waters of trouble are rising, and they are
going to rise so fast and so high that it’s going to boggle our minds. You
will find yourself asking "Why is the water so deep?" And the Holy Spirit
will speak to your heart and He will say, "I’ve been trying to tell you,
I've been trying to warn you for a long time, but you were so busy loving
the world that you couldn't hear Me.” Israel is not the only one that is
asleep, the Church is also asleep. You say, “How can I be asleep? I'm a
Christian!” Well, because you can. To the degree that you love the world
you are asleep. To the degree that you love material blessings – I am
telling you, I know what is taught in the pulpit, but I'm telling you – to
the degree that you love material blessings, you are asleep. Your heart
should have one passion alone, and that is Christ. In this world you
should own nothing but your love for Christ. I'm not saying that you
cannot have material things, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself says the Father
knows the things you have need of – I am not saying that – what I'm
questioning is the place they hold in your heart.
Be honest with yourself and
search your soul, then ask yourself: where is your passion? What do you
put your feet on in the morning when you stand up? What do you settle down
on at night? Is this where your heart is? Is your heart running hard and
passionately after Christ? What is the essence of your life? What sparks
your fire? If it is anything but Jesus, then, my friends, you are asleep.
When you wake up in the morning you should wake up to Him. When you go to
bed at night, you should go to bed to Him. And He should be consuming your
thoughts in-between, living for Him, working for Him. The Bible clearly
helps us understand that we are not to work for man, we are to work unto
Him. We are not to live unto man, rather, we are to live unto Him. This is
not a hard burden to bear; it is the joy of your soul when you understand
that your life is Christ. (Phil 1:21, Col 3:4)
God has a great work to do
and he must do it quickly, to provide for His Church, to prepare His
Church, to make you strong and stable.
Isaiah 33:5-6 “The Lord
is exalted, for He dwells on high; He will fill Zion with justice and
righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation).
And there shall be stability in your times, an abundance of salvation,
wisdom, and knowledge; the reverential fear and worship of the Lord is
your treasure and His."
This is the promise that God
is giving to the heart of the Church. This does not mean that the
stability will be of the world. To be honest with ourselves, we would have
to say that today the world seems more unstable than it has ever seemed in
our lifetime. Stability will not be found in the world. We are not going
to return to a time where it is going to be so stable that the Church is
going to lose her grip again. The only time that we are going to find such
abundance of stability is when the antichrist is saying that all is well.
And then, the Bible says, sudden destruction will come. The stability we
need is going to be in the soul; the stability is going to be in the
heart. This is the greatest stability of all. When you are at peace in
your soul and at peace in Christ, no matter what is happening in the world
around you, you will have stability. God is going to make you stable
because He loves you. He is going to take the fear because He loves you.
He will do this by sending justice into your soul. He is going to clothe
you with righteousness.
When He sends justice into
your soul, sin is going to begin to flee. You will have a discerning heart
to know what is justice and what is injustice. Sometimes people think that
the only time you see injustice is when you, for instance, take the blood
of the innocent. That is an act we all know as injustice, but when you
will not let God have His will in your life, in His eyes, that is
injustice. When you demand your will over God's, you yourself are
committing an injustice. God wants to give to the heart of the Church
discernment so that we can walk in the justice of God. When we are walking
in the justice of God, we will walk in stability regardless of our
circumstances.
Malachi 3:1-5. “Behold,
I send My messenger, and he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord
[the Messiah], Whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; The
Messenger or Angel of the covenant, Whom you desire, behold, He shall
come, says the Lord of hosts. But who can endure the day of His coming?
And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and
like fullers' soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver and He
will purify the priests, the sons of Levi, and refine them like gold and
silver, that they may offer to the Lord offerings in righteousness. Then
will the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasing to the Lord as in the
days of old and as in ancient years. Then I will draw near to you for
judgment; I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the
adulterers, against the false swearers, against those who oppress the
hireling in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, and who turn aside
the temporary resident from his right and fear not Me says the Lord of
hosts.”
The Lord is coming as a
refiner's fire, and He is coming first to the five-fold ministry. He is
going to clean up the ministries of our land, He must clean them up. When
the Priesthood comes, it will actually take precedence over the present
five-fold ministry, because it is a much higher Priesthood. I talk about
it in my book, 'Melchizedek Priesthood'. In it, I give you a thorough
understanding of what this Priesthood is and what it does. When the Mighty
Men of Valor come, when the Mighty Men of David come (they are the same
category of warriors) they will be used to purify, like the refiner's
fire, the five-fold ministry. They can do for the Church what it needs.
Gone are the days – it has to pass away – gone are the days when we can
afford to have ministers in the pulpit who do not pray. We've had decades
of it, generations of it, where ministers across this nation and across
every nation of the world enter the ministry without having a mature
prayer life.
This is why the Church is
sick, because the spirit life that flows through them and the ministry of
the Word cannot be pure. It is partly soul and partly spirit. This is the
only thing that can happen when you do not have a prayer life and you
preach the Gospel. God must purify the sons of Levi for their own sake, as
well as for the sake of His Church, because those called into the ministry
are judged by a much stricter judgment. If they've tried to fill their
ministry without a prayer life and without a life of purity, they're going
to be judged for what they have done and for what they have not done. So
for their own sake, He is going to do it. Jesus loves His Church… He loves
His Church. Paul warned us not to build on the foundation with wood, hay
and stubble, and yet that is what has happened. When a minister stands in
the pulpit and the Gospel is given through his soul, and moreover, the
watered-down Gospel often preached today, it leaves the Church in an
infantile state. The call to repentance, the call to contrition, the call
to separation, the call to holiness is not there because the ministers
themselves have difficulty living it. So, they give you milk that is so
watered down that it can do very little for your soul in terms of bringing
you up into the higher calling and bring you into a place of separation
from the world. God must deal with this. He must for the sake of His
Ministers and His Church.
He wants a purified Bride;
He wants to purify the sons of Levi. He wants the Priesthood to be pure.
He wants to empower His people for these last days. He is going to come as
a refiner's fire. It has already begun… this refining process in His
ministers and in His Church. The days are coming, and they are close at
hand, where we are going to see God revealing ministers for their impure
life one after another; so many ministers are going to be revealed for
this in the end times. It is going to cause the Church to tremble before
God for two reasons: number one, they have been sitting under the ministry
of very impure people and, number two, haven't called their ministers to
accountability. The ministers are going to tremble before God and they are
going to feel unstable because their ministry has been impure. Many will
then be healed.
When God brings the Church
out of that instability, then He is going to start dealing with the
Church. The Church is going to understand that the reason they haven't
called their pastors to accountability is because their own lives have
been questionable before God. They didn't have the discernment because
they, too, were not living the life. The Refiner's Fire is here and it has
begun its work for the sake of the Church. God loves the Church. Woe to
the man or to the woman who touches the Church improperly because she is
God's Bride.
Isaiah 35:1-8 "The
wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and
blossom like the rose and the autumn crocus. It shall blossom abundantly
and rejoice even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given
to it, the excellency of [Mount] Carmel and [the plane] of Sharon. They
shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty and the splendor and
excellency of our God. Strengthen the weak hands and make firm the feeble
and tottering knees. Say to those who are of a fearful and hasty of heart.
Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance; with
recompense of God He will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind
shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be and unstopped. Then
shall the lame man leap like a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing
for joy. For waters shall break forth in the wilderness and streams in the
desert. And the burning sand and mirage shall become a pool, and the
thirsty ground springs of water; in the haunt of jackals, where they lay
resting, shall be grass with weeds and rushes. And a highway shall be
there, and a way; and it shall be called the Holy Way, the unclean shall
not pass over it, but it shall be for the redeemed, the wayfaring man,
yes, the simple ones and fools shall not err in it and lose their way."
This is the picture of God's
Church that has been purified, cleansed by the Refiner's Fire. The eyes of
the blind shall be opened to behold wondrous things out of the Law. The
eyes of the blind shall be opened to behold wondrous things in the
kingdom. The ears of the deaf shall be unstopped so that man can hear the
higher truths. The spiritually lame shall be given the Divine ability to
stand strong. As He is doing this marvelous work, He will do signs and
wonders and great miracles amidst the people. So the ears of the deaf
shall be unstopped, and the eyes of the blind shall be open, those who are
maimed shall be healed. Those who are dead shall be resurrected. God is
going to do great signs and wonders, not only with people, but signs and
wonders of nature! It's going to be an amazing time in the kingdom of God
and on the Earth, as God is making His name known throughout the world in
His glorified Church.
With all the signs and
wonders moving through the Church, it is going to drive the unbeliever to
Christ. They are going to see Jesus in His Church. They're going to see
the love that is flowing in the body, the unity, the care for one another,
and they are going to desire that love. They are going to desire the
purity and the holiness that they see in Christ's Bride.
The days ahead are growing
dark and they are going to get darker, very dark. So dark, you don't want
to know how dark. Christ's Bride is going to become filled and illuminated
with the Light of Heaven. She is going to be beautiful in His eyes and
beautiful in the eyes of the world that Jesus is drawing to Himself. There
will be no fear because there is no fear in love. The Bride will be filled
with faith and valor, strong, stable, and able to do marvelous feats,
shining with the life of Heaven. Those that are going to prepare the
Church are called the Reigning Ones. Those who have learned to reign in
their own soul, learned to reign over the works of the devil, learned to
reign in heavenly places, and reign on this Earth for the sake of the
Church.
In Him,
