If you have been reading this Word For The Week for
long, you have likely noticed my style is to develop a
theme, and then from time to time go back to review it
before going on. I may say things a little
differently, but it is purposeful repetition.
Repetition is required for retention, and the more
something is repeated, the more it will be retained.
What we do not retain we have little possibility of
actually doing, and it is by doing that we bear fruit.
Our goal is not just to know the will of God, but to
do His will.
In the unfolding of the last-day purposes of
God, we are in a lull between two great waves of the
harvest. The first wave began in the late 1980s and
continued for almost two decades. More people came to
Christ during that time than in the history of the
church up until that time. It was estimated that
around the world about 375,000 people per day came to
the Lord. In this present lull, this number is down to
around a little over 200,000 coming to Him per day.
Even in this quiet pause between the waves of harvest,
Christianity is the fastest growing religion in the
world. Even so, the greatest harvest of all is yet to
come.
The last wave of ingathering was the greatest
the world had ever seen, but what is coming will
greatly eclipse it. The Great Commission will be
fulfilled. The preaching of the gospel of the kingdom
will be accomplished all over the earth. The bride of
Christ will make herself ready and become the pure,
spotless, and beautiful queen she is called to be. The
messengers of God will walk in unprecedented power and
authority because of how they will abide in the Lord.
I was shown that what is coming will be like
a tsunami. I was told that, like a tsunami, the waters
of Christianity will begin to recede before this great
wave strikes. It will seem like, for a time,
Christianity is in retreat all over the world just
before the greatest move of God the earth has ever had
sweeps the earth. If you think Christianity is
receding now, it is not time to chase what is
receding, but it is time to get to the high ground!
The high ground is being seated with Jesus on
His throne in the heavenly places. Like all truth,
this cannot merely be a doctrine, but literal. We must
abide in the Lord in all that we do, all of the time.
The foundation of this is experienced and entered into
in local church life as it is called to be.
A key word here is “as it is called to be.” A
great transformation is coming to the church, but it
will only include about 10% of those that are now
Christians. It is not that the other 90% will be lost,
but they will have to start over again on a right
foundation, or join those who have been built on a
right foundation. Many Christians will likewise have
their lives turned upside down, when as much as 90% of
the things they now give themselves to will be
removed. This is so they can fulfill their purpose in
the last great move of God before He returns.
I was shown all of this in a two and a half
day open vision in 1987. Most of what I was shown in
that vision has already come to pass, and the rest is
unfolding now. We can make this transition much easier
by giving ourselves to what is eternal and not being
so consumed by the things that are temporary. We were
bought with a price. We are not our own. We are His,
and we are on this earth for His purposes. We must
find that purpose and focus our lives on accomplishing
it.
The “key to the kingdom,” or the truth that
opens the door to the kingdom for us so that we can
live and abide in it, is the exhortation to “seek
first the kingdom.” The Lord promised that if we would
seek His kingdom first, He would take care of
everything else for us. This is the ultimate call at
this time—to put the interests of the kingdom above
any other interest we have.
