1. HOPE IS FOREVER

By Ron McGatlin

Hope is forever in those who know that God is always good.

Everything God is doing, has ever done, or ever will do is good. God never has done anything bad and never will do anything bad. Because God is good, there is hope. Hope is the essence of believing in God's goodness; it is the light for the future and the beginning of joy.

If, for any reason, we think we have seen God do something bad, we are wrong. Our perspective is not in order. Our goals are not God’s goals. Our purpose is not God’s purpose. All things that God does are good and work together for good to those who are in line with His purposes.

Romans 8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Our extremely limited view from our human soul can give us a false perspective of good and bad. If we understood the full scope of God’s plan and the eternal perspective of a given situation or circumstance, what may appear to our limited understanding as a very bad situation could be seen as good.

Only God can see the astronomical myriad of all events, their impact upon mankind, and His entire plan for the world. In the full scope of considering all things now, in the future and eternity, only God can accurately determine what is good and what is bad.

Job 2:10: But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

2 Corinthians 1:18-20: But as God is faithful, our word to you was not “Yes” and “No”. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Who was preached among you by us - by me, Silvanus, and Timothy-was not “Yes and No”, but in Him was “Yes”. For all the promises of God in Him are “Yes”, and in Him “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.

God is only positive. There is nothing negative in Him at all. If God did not provide judgment or chastening for man’s evil actions, but instead rewarded man with health, prosperity, and good fortune for his evil deeds, He would not be a good God. Everything God does is positive in that it all moves toward His ultimate plan. All systems of creation are designed by God to arrive at the ultimate goal He has in mind, which involves peace on earth and good will toward men in the kingdom of God on earth from heaven.

God has only good in mind for mankind. God’s plan is the beautiful, New Jerusalem lifestyle of peace and glory. God has no negative plan for man. His ideas are 100% perfect for man. He planned neither sickness nor disorder of any kind for man.

It is man who decides to come up with another plan. Man decidesto disobey God and eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which is seeking to know what is good and bad from his own perspective. Rather than obediently partaking only of the tree of life, which is seeking to hear from God,from His perspective.

Man’s alternate plans are not good for man and lead toGod’s chastening to bring man back to God’s plan. The results of man seeking his own plan rather than God's are built into God’s system of universal law and lead toward death, which is separation from God and His benefits. Even God’s chastening is positive and gives us hope of attaining God’s plan.

Hebrews 12 5b-6: My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord; nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives.

1 Corinthians 11:31-32: For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

Hebrews 12:11: Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but grievous; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

God’s Deliverance from the Judgment of the Unrighteous

God is able to deliver the righteous and protect them from the judgment of the unrighteous, as He did with Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah. But even Lot was affected by the evil of the land. He endured serious vexation and torment of soul because of the corporate living apart from God’s plan.

2 Peter 2:4-10: For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed with the filthy conduct of the wicked (for the righteous man, dwelling among them,vexed his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds) - thenthe Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for judgment, and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed; they are not afraid to speak evil of glories (dignitaries).

Although the righteous are delivered, they may yet endure oppression because of the evil around them. Collectively, man is tied together in families, communities, nations, and the world. Each individual will bear, to some degree, responsibility for the life decisions of the whole.

We are foremost affected by our own life decisions; secondly, we are greatly affected by our family; and, decreasingly, less affected by our community, nation, and world. The whole world is in some way affected by every person’s decision not to live according to God’s plan.

Conversely, the entire world is in some way affected by our decision to live according to God’s plan. We first have the most effect upon our own life; secondly, we have a great effect upon our family; and decreasingly, have less effect upon our community, nation, and the world. But, we do have some effect on every person in the world.

The violent destruction of all the people including the little girls and boys in Sodom and Gomorrah may seem to us like a very bad act of God. Yet, it was good and not bad in the full scope of the world, mankind, and eternity. God sent the actual fire and brimstone, not the devil. Man caused it to happen by accepting the devil’s alternate plan and leaving God’s plan. The bad part was man leaving God’s plan. God, however, was good in destroying those who did. We cannot know the future death and devastation that could have been caused to the people of God by not destroying these cities and allowing them to remain and multiply. If God had rewarded them with prosperity, posterity, and longevity, He would not be a good God.

If God in mercy and love destroyed these, what must He do with those today who have completely turned from Him and will not come to Him, thus causing multitudes to be led away from God?

Rom 6:23: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Psalm 106: l: Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For his mercy endures forever.

God is good, and His mercies endure forever. The mercy of God is available to all. His chastening will cause those who will to turn to His mercy. His grace can then empower us from within to live in His pattern and plan. Then, we can participate in His beautiful holiness and peace. The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Thank you, God, for your goodness! And thank you, God, for loving us enough to cause us to change! Thank you for our great hope for the future and our great joy for today!

Father, let the call be clear in this day. Let your people arise and proclaim the great love and complete redemption in Christ Jesus for all who will turn to You now. In the name of Jesus, we ask for great outpouring of Your Spirit upon the land, for Your fire to rise up in the hearts of Your people to boldly proclaim the gospel of the kingdom, empowered by Your Spirit to demonstrate Your glory to the world that many be turned to You with their whole hearts.

Hear our cry, O Lord, and bring a mighty rolling fire of kingdom revival and Holy Spirit outpouring across the land now in this year of 2013 and beyond. Father, we pray in the name of Jesus for your kingdom to come and your will to be done through the great outpouring of Your love and power to prepare Your people for the season of Your reckoning of all things that is before us.

Keep on pursuing love. It never fails
and His kingdom never ends.

2. A Great Revival Wave is Coming

By Andrea Aasen

Visitation on February 2, 2013:

I woke up with a visitation and the fear of the Lord, like I have never had before. This visitation has personal application for the nations.

The Lord took me into a vision, and this, too, was unlike what I have ever seen or experienced. He took me to see the actual fulfillment of the following Scriptures and He held my hand and led me on a "tour" to see what was coming. I traveled to see us "living" in the following:

First, the visitation of the Fear of the Lord came, and I saw the Lord coming in His holiness and grace. The fear of the Lord surrounded us with a circle of fire.

1. Suddenly, I entered into Zechariah 2:4-5, where I saw the fire encircle us (no walls/boundaries anymore) and in middle of the fire was the "glory in her midst."

2. Then I entered into Matthew 5:14, and I saw the "Light of the World" which was this glory being "seen".

3. The Lord next took me into Isaiah 49:6, where He showed me this light going to the nations.

4. Next into Isaiah 60 – to see the glory of Zion. Then I heard the Lord say, "Fortification is coming." He is making the city strong. And I next went into...

5. 1 Peter 2:6 – a rebuilding of the cornerstone of Zion, and I saw the houses of the Lord being rebuilt/restored. I literally saw tens of thousands, upon thousands, upon thousands, as far as you could see – working to restore the house.

6. And I then saw Isaiah 40:3 and Malachi 3:1. I saw the Body being aligned in body, soul and spirit. I saw a huge angel with a great tuning fork striking the Body; and as he struck, the sound was released. With each strike I saw the breath of God coming forth, and His breath was fire and the life was in the fire. The Body was being prepared, and the Purifier/the Helper came (I was taken to see Jesus' body in the tomb being prepared and then His rising and release of the Spirit/our Helper coming to dwell in our midst. I saw the prophetic that was released in that moment to be "activated" now).

Then another angel came and sounded a great trumpet, and I saw it shaking and crumbling mountains. I heard Julie Meyer's song, "Prepare the Way of the Lord" sounding and echoing in great weight.

7. Then I saw into Matthew 3:11-12, where I saw angels of fire coming with the wind and burning up all the chaff God said a "fresh fire" is coming like never before – a corporate baptism of fire. He said that it's a "restoration of fire" and I saw the same angel of restoration that had visited previously, and again his eyes danced with fire. This time he looked on the face of the nations and the nations looked back, and I saw him pointing to Jesus. I saw the eye of the Lord and the eyes of God's people, and He was looking at us and we were looking back – it was a restoration of "first love".

8. Lastly I saw Revelation 1:8, and I saw a twisting and turning, and bending and folding in the spirit. It was a dimension in time coming into an activation and release with the Spirit – the Almighty God being made known in fullness. I saw the former generation meeting with the latter generation, which was a prophetic act to release the fullness of God. What I actually saw was an embodiment of the Lord, where He was now able to be seen as "Alpha and Omega" – an actual "veil" that was removed from eyes and the "yes" of the people was made known. This happened when the unity arose between the former and latter – a joining to bring about "Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come."

The Treasure Chest

I saw a treasure chest with a lock and a key was being opened to reveal the mysteries of Heaven to the sons of God. The interesting part was that the treasure chest had already been opened, but I saw the sons surrounding it, and they were asking for and receiving the revelation being released with open arms.

Then I saw a great banquet table, and I saw the "hunger" of God being stirred (I saw their bellies and a swirling of fire entering into each one to draw forth a great hunger), and they salivated and waited at the table for the meal to be served. When the meal came it was devoured, and as they ate the food kept coming – it just kept multiplying and never ran out. They just kept eating and eating and eating (they were very undignified while eating I might add), just devouring all they could and couldn't eat fast enough. As the invitation was extended and the table grew to accommodate more, there was always enough, and I heard a voice in Heaven echoing that phrase, "There is always enough!"

After the vision, I went into prayer and I saw an individual holding a treasure chest. In the chest was a "remembrance" of all of their plowing and sacrifices. The chest was filled with seeds – just filled and overflowing with seeds. And I heard the Lord say, "A TOTAL RESTORATION is coming."
