Why The Next Move of God Will Be So Phenomenal

Greetings!

Introduction

For years people have been praying for yet another form of revival; the kind of revival they have experienced in the past.  We appreciate and understand a person's longing for this experience as we are indeed in desperate times.  However, God is well ahead of all of us, as He prepares to do something that far exceeds our experience from the past. This will be a partial fulfillment of 2 Cor. 2:9 where God says 'Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard the great things that God has prepared for those who love him.'

 

As much as people sense that God is disappointed in humanity; it needs to be stated that He is also greatly rejoicing in the very people who love Him. God is not alarmed or shocked with the current world events; as He already knew what would take place in our world. He is ready to surprise all those who love Him by starting to show Himself strong among those whose hearts have been perfected towards Him. (Zeph. 3:17; II Chronicles 16:9). Are you ready?

 

As the majority of the religious world has now passed through its exposure, there is an overwhelming sense that God is ready to manifest (show himself) as He describes in 2 Cor. 2:9 and Habakkuk 2:14.  He is ready and willing to show those who love Him fabulous things that he has prepared for them.  This shift in the Kingdom will far surpass anything we have seen in our life time, and possibly the history of the world.  It just might be compared to the New Years Eve Celebration in Time Square to a Wiener roast in Boyd, WI; no offense to Boyd, WI.

 

This Revelation Bulletin describes the reasons why the next shift in the Kingdom will be so phenomenal:

 

  1. God loves the under privileged - The underdog!
  2. It is the only way in for the last day harvesters
  3. Summary

God Loves the Under Privileged - The Underdog

God is a God of mercy, justice, and grace. This aspect of His nature allows God to see value in under privileged people in a way that surpasses our understanding. In fact this is why God institutionalized a Year of Jubilee in the Old Testament (Leviticus 25). It was a means for all disadvantaged people to have their debt forgiven and start over again. It was a wonderful time (Jubilee) of bringing society into a better balance, so the wealthy did not keep getting wealthier and poor keep getting poorer. God literally regulated how people were treated over extended periods of time. In addition, God paid special favor to disadvantaged people every seventh year. God evidently cares that the under privileged eventually has the hope and justice scales tipped in their favor every so often. (Can you relate?)

 

As I look at the parables in scripture it is very clear that God has decided to prepare a Year of Jubilee on steroids to bring things back into proper order and balance.  Listen to just a few of the examples within the parables. 

Parable of the Great Banquet (Luke 14:15-24)  - This parable quickly allows people to see that God invites everyone to his final banquet table. However, once those who were privileged become occupied in the things they were privileged with, He is infuriated, and decides to tell his steward to go quickly and get the under privileged (The poor, maimed, halt and blind).  No pun intended; but the tables will literally be turned.

 

The parable of the laborers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16) - The master starts the harvest cycles by picking the best qualified workers to come into the harvest field at 6:00 AM. He takes four cycles of people alluding to four cycles of harvest. The least likely, under privileged, and disadvantaged workers were naturally picked last and yet went into the harvest field with great favor. These favored workers were reserved for the last and greatest part of the harvest cycle so nothing would be left un-harvested. These were more than likely the individuals who learned to find things in the corner of the field, under rocks, in the corners, etc. They knew the master did not want anything wasted. Because of their creativity and interest in the harvest, God decides their payment would be equal to all other workers picked in the earlier cycles. This of course offended the first and forced Jesus to say the words very clearly 'The Last will be First and the First will be Last.'  (Mathew 20:16)    Again, the tables will be turned!

 

The parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31) This parable quickly points out that the rich man who was lavished, and did not care for the poor in his lifetime was now suffering in the place of torment in the after-life; At the same time the poor person who was tormented on earth is now comforted in the after life. Again, the tables will be turned.

 

The build up of our modern day depression and oppression of the under privileged will be one of the major over adjustments that God will perform. This shift is literally starting to occur in the slow process of exposure of the Ponzi scheme artists, corporate corruption, religious corruption, and leaders who have held people in bondage. The victims of these corporate and religious bullies have not yet been redeemed of the thievery, but God's help, miracle and over-adjustment is on its way. "The tables will be turned."

 

It should not go unnoticed that in addition to the parables alluding to this great victory toward the under privileged, we should pay close attention to the passage in Acts 2:170in It is the passage we love about God pouring out His Spirit in the last days. "Old men will dream dreams, young men will have visions...."  Specifically in Verse 18 it states that the last people who will have the Spirit come upon them and have prophesies, will be the servants and hand maidens.  "Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy."   This indicates that the least of people will be used in a special way.  This re-connects with Jesus' statements that the 'Last will be first and the first will be last."

 

God loves the under privileged who are poor in spirit, poor in emotions, poor in mental ability, poor in finances, and poor in physical body. He has heard the recent cries of humanity who have been at the center of injustice for too many years. He is ready to begin a major shift in re-adjusting the injustice so God can clearly show the world who really loves Him. The years of build up of the corrosion and corruption will create one of the greatest and most phenomenal sparks of lightening when God sheds His light and power on the truth.

The Only Way in For the Last Day Harvesters

Throughout the history of the universal church God has evolved the phases we have grown through as a universal church. Every evolution has increased in intensity, fervor, and the church's ability to bring in a greater harvest. Consider the great evangelistic crusades of Billy Graham, Reinhard Bonnke, Luis Palau, and many others, along with the modern day evangelical Mega churches and life group concepts.  God was creatively at work as He allowed each of these evolutions to bring in yet greater harvests. He was more than likely using the cycles of harvest described in the parable of the Vineyard discussed above.   He is well pleased with the harvest of these evolutions/cycles; but is now ready to bring in the greatest harvest of all time through the most phenomenal shift of workers, and methods of manifestations that we have ever seen.

 

Consider the fact that every evolution of the Harvest method has caused many people to be offended in the ministers who migrated toward a new evolution/cycle of the harvest. It is important to note that God was never offended, but mankind was offended with mankind (again described in the Parable of the laborers in the Vineyard.) In fact, that is what produced the majority of our modern day denominations.  They were mainly offended because it required more shifting than their mind could process. The same concept will take place when the next major shift on steroids occurs; even individuals and leaders who think they are flexible in new and shifting Kingdom methods will struggle greatly with the Army God has been preparing to identify, explain, and reap a harvest during a 'Manifestation of the Lord in the Heavens.' 

 

God alludes to signs and wonders in the heavens as well as the clear statement that people will see Him in the sky prior to his return in the clouds. Yes, I know I'm one of the crazy people who left the structured church building in preparation of the manifestation that is being prepared to reap the phenomenal and unprecedented harvest. Let me state exactly what Jesus states so we can all be clear; that it will happen. "Jesus said, "I am, and you will see me, the Son of Man, sitting at God's right hand in the place of power and coming back on the clouds of heaven. Mark 14:62." Pay close attention that Jesus Himself says that you will see Him sitting on the right hand of God before His return in the clouds. In other words, He will manifest himself in such as way that we will see Him in the sky.  Acts 2:19 states "And I will perform wonders in the sky above and miraculous signs on the earth below, blood and fire and clouds of smoke."   Many only read this passage as stars falling, earthquakes, and volcanos. However, based on many recent reports, the wonders in the sky also include wonders of God manifesting Himself. To hit home clearer, the Amplified version of the Bible states in Mark 14:62 as: And Jesus said, I Am, and you will all see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of power (the almighty) and coming on the clouds of heaven. Again, prior to Him coming in the Clouds to meet His Church we will all see Him sitting on the right hand of God. He is warming up creation and shaking the heavens and earth in preparation of His return! We are presently seeing creation shake, but will soon see His manifestation in the heavens.  This is why Jesus stated "But when these things begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. (Luke 21:28)." Jesus was referring to the times that closely resemble what we are seeing today. We are to start looking up when we seen the beginning of the perplexities on earth (Luke 20-28).

 

Considering this will happen, God has worked with millions of people around the world who appear as if they rebelled against the church building, structure or denomination. These very people were willing to lose everything to gain everything in the near future. They have embraced the reality that the man-made church structure is only a figure of the Truth, which God clarifies in Hebrew 9:24"For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's presence."

 

At the same time this preparation has been occurring, ministers in almost every religious circle have 'locked-down' the ministry circles that they have been privileged to lead. They have cornered the market in their area of influence, and seldom if ever allow anyone to come in unless they are a close family member, friend, or minister look-a-like.  For this very reason, God's shift will have to be so earth shattering and phenomenal as the only alternative to get their attention and allow God's full army to participate in the greatest manifestation and harvest.  God will remind them that they do not control the manner in which God manifests His glory in the last day. God is ready to let some of the most under privileged and under-valued people who could not, and would not buy their way into the latest evolution of the church and harvest. This earth shattering shift will not offend God, but many will be greatly offended to find out that God chose, spoke, and foretold that the "Last will be first and the first will be last." Does this mean everyone in present positions will lose out; absolutely not! God is willing to use anyone who will not be offended in His manifestations. However, for everyone who feels they will tell God how He will manifest himself and bring in the harvest through their own 'creative methods;' is in for a rude awakening.

Summary

God loves the under privileged and has chosen to use them. The quickest and most effective way to use them will be too quickly and phenomenally shift the method in which we have revealed God's power, authority, and ability to save all of humanity.  Get ready and start looking up for your redemption is drawing near!!
