NOW IT'S OUR TURN!  In Matthew 14, Herod the politician got his way by decapitating John the Baptist.  Jesus drew away in private to grieve and pray, then he came out to the crowds AND HEALED THE MULTITUDES, revival-style!  Jesus struck back at what the powers of darkness had done... NOT in the natural... but in the SUPERNATURAL!  So it was then, so it is now.  The Democrats and the Republicans and the political pundits have DONE THEIR THING in this last election cycle, and that pretty poorly as usual.  But Jesus has never given the keys of the Kingdom over to politicians, but to believers!  NOW IT'S OUR TURN!  Let the Body of Christ arise in revival fire and flood the earth with the glory of God DESPITE the politicians.  Men have done their thing and come up short.  Now God and His church shall do theirs!   NOW IT'S OUR TURN!  Let the church arise. 

 

Luke 21:25-31 KJV - And there shall besigns in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing themfor fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man comingin a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up , and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer isnow nigh at hand.  So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

  

Revelation 3:11 KJV - Behold  I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

 

Revelation 22:7 KJV - Behold , I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

 

Could it be that the coming of the Lord is almost upon us?

 

Revelation 22:12 KJV - And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

 

Revelation 22:20 KJV - He which testifieth these things saith , Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

 

Could it be that we are way, way past the eleventh hour and the clock is about to strike midnight any second now?

 

About a year ago, a mature balanced believer in our church had a vivid dream from the Lord where he was seated across from Obama.  He point blank asked Obama if he was the antichrist.  Obama replied, "Yes I am the antichrist."  This dream, of course, doesn't mean that Obama is the literal capital "A" Antichrist, but it does mean that the Lord identifies Obama as a lower case "a" antichrst whose policies, values and agendas are what John the Apostle discussed in the book of 1 John, that there are already "many "antichrists."  Their job assignment from Satan is to be AGAINST the things of Christ or to SUBSTITUTE for Christ as an imposter-like figure.  Of course, Obama is not the first American president to be filled with the spirit of antichrist.  Many politicians in many nations have been used by the devil to create havoc and demonic policies that oppress their societies.  Obama, however, is singular as an antichrist American president in that he has been such a point-man for all that is against God and instead of God, like the LGBT agenda, gay marriage, mass murder abortion, postmodern secular humanism, political control and manipulation, and gross fiscal irresponsibility.  In four short years he has "changed" the climate of America as no other leader has done.  So much for the "hope" part of his "change" slogan.  But we in the body of Christ have a secret weapon called PRAYER.  (1 Timothy chapter 2)  It is important that we pray for whoever is in office, whether they are good or evil, or right or wrong.  God wants these political leaders to be saved and to rule with wisdom, no matter who they are and whether we like them or not.  God does, has, and will continue to honor those prayers.  BUT... it is also scriptural to speak up and fight against evil.  Its not JUST prayer.  Its not JUST Christian activism either.  The German Christians prayed but it wasn't enough to stop the rise of Hitler.  In other nations, people have been activists against evil, but forgot to pray, with the same lack of results.  PRAYER and ACTION has always been the formula for both our private lives and in the public arena too.  PRAY then TAKE STEPS.  TAKE STEPS then PRAY.

 

1 John 2:18 KJV - Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

 

Presently 49% of Americans are receiving Government assistance.  (And indeed some portion of this 49% is JUST and FAIR government assistance, but NOT the bulk of it.)  No wonder the Republicans lost the presidential election for heralding hard work and entrepreneurialship in their campaign.  Half of America is ADDICTED to government dependence.  They just want FREE STUFF!  And many Americans don't even pay their fair share of taxes.  Millions don't pay any any taxes at all, which is EVIL and disobedient to the scripture.

 

2 Thessalonians 3:10 KJV - For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

 

Romans 13:7 NIV - Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

 

The summum bonum dream of Americans has for too long been RETIREMENT.  But our ultimate dream should be to REFIRE for Jesus and bring His saving love and healing power to the least, the last, and the lost.  The last half of each of our lives should be even more focused on serving others and sharing Christ than the first half.  (Of course none of this means we should not save for our future, for the Bible teaches good stewardship of the resources He gives us.  It's just that we need to keep things in perspective and priority, and not live greedily or with unrealistic expectations.)

 

The end cannot come until we finish doing Matthew 24:14.

 

Matthew 24:14 KJV - And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
 
John 4:35 KJV - Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold , I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 
 
Ultimate success in this life is KNOWING the will of God, BEING IN the will of God, and DOING the will of God!
