Church Under Heavy Fire!!
This is the final trumpet call for the body of Christ in Canada!
January 6th, 2007
Raise up! Wake up from a heavy sleep before it will be too late. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you. Stop being afraid, and quiet. Start speaking for the lord Jesus Christ and you will see what he will do around you. You will experience people’s lives being saved, healed and made whole. Captives will be set free, chains and yolks of addictions will be broken according to the words of Jesus in Luke 4:18.
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners, recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, and to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
It is time to say what is right not in the eyes of man, but in the eyes of God without shame, without any compromise not even an inch in the name of Jesus. Speaking not about religion, but rather about the Kingdom of God. Not about man’s ways to succeed here on earth but confronting the sin, so they can be saved because there is no salvation without repentance. For how long man will be insulting God saying to him with words or his actions “I know better then my Creator how to win people to Christ” while God says that He saves by the foolishness of preaching. Then start opening your mouth while still you can because you may not have it tomorrow. And then you have a promise that when you obey God’s commandments to speak to the captive of Satan that when they will call upon the name of the Lord they shall be saved. Romans 10:13-15
“Every one who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How then can they call on one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’”
This is the biggest blessing that you can have on this earth, to see someone who was lost, on the way for destruction and now is saved by God’s love and Grace. And then you have another promise in Mathew 5:10-11
“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
Mathew 24:9-14
“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other. And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. But he who stands firm to the end will be saved and this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations and then the end will come.”
If you don’t experience those two promises (persecution and salvation, riot or revival) in your own life are you really a threat to a kingdom of Satan? And are you truly of any use to God?
We are non stop under attack by church goers and Gentiles alike. Looking constantly to God for rescue, while surrounded by politicians because they don’t want to hear the truth. Sending on regular basis their law enforcement we are surrounded by by-law officers, parks departments, police force, fire fighters, aquatic rescue teams, parking authorities, and undercover police detectives whom are taking our pictures, taping our services, and tapping our phone lines. All this because we are preaching openly outside four walls without holding back, called to confront like John the Baptist the corruption, often threatened by drug dealers with our lives, knives, stones, and bottles thrown at us. Twice they have hired assassins, sent threatening phone calls, and verbal insults for being too successful in taking drug dealers, prostitutes, and addicts off the streets by the power of the Gospel. In which, making some that profit from that procedure very angry. We have been threatened by our authorities to be arrested and fined on more then 40 different occasions. And some of you may say that this is because of our sound system, or because we are too loud. But notice this; that many of those attacks come on the locations that are not using amplified equipment at all!
For example: on January 1st, 2007 we had the aquatic team rescue unit with power boat and suited divers, Fire fighters with their chief, police Cruiser with two officers, and ambulance with fully staffed paramedics because a man received Christ and asked immediately to be baptized in the River. In which was to up to our knees. In other instances we were told by police that someone phoned them with complaints that we were cursing and swearing at little children, and we were causing a threat to people’s safety. Situations like these are just an example out of many of their ignorance and hatred towards the Gospel. Those events mentioned above are just a few that you would see due to the lack of logic in some lives because they are still in blindness.
Do you want to wake up one day in a country run by another Hitler or Stalin, being oppressed under regime or dictatorship? Not being able to go to the church freely or express your beliefs openly without fear of being arrested or imprisoned? All of this because you did nothing to prevent it. The choice is always ours. I have made up my mind to serve and to speak for Jesus openly, risking all those persecutions and also seeing all those who He our King will save because we were willing to open our mouths.
I pray that the time of silence about God’s truth will cease and many will rise to speak about sin, like abortion which is nothing more then murder, homosexuality which is an abomination in the eyes of God, or divorce, laziness, fear, and other sins that God will tell you to speak about. May God have mercy upon all of us for taking his word so lightly and not obeying and trusting him completely! Let us together pray for boldness like the apostles in the book of Acts 4:29-31
“Now Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus. After they prayed the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the holy sprit and spoke the word of God boldly.”
And may the congregations that are called by His Name be shaken and taken out of their comfy chairs to the Highways and Byways, Street corners and Parks where the people are perishing. With the message of salvation so many can receive what we surely value the most!-Eternal life-! For how long will we allow Satan to steal our inheritance which is from God, taking our schools with our children, our justice system, rights, freedoms, and our land? Will you fight for what is already given to you by the blood of Jesus? Will you stand for His righteousness? Will you say with us?
“No more Satan you have been defeated and you’re under our feet.”
This is the time of Joshuas, Davids, and Gideons. This is the time for Esthers, women and men that God wants to raise up for His glory, for His kingdom. Will you answer like a prophet once did, when God asked in Isaiah 6:8
“Then I heard the voice of the Lord say ‘whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said ‘Here am I. Send me!’”
Do you love God? Then Obey Him! Do you love people? Then speak! For God said, “When I say to a wicked man ‘you will surely die’ and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself.” Ezekiel 3: 18-19
We all are called to speak for Jesus Christ. In Mark 16:15 Jesus said,
“Go yea” he did not say “stay Yea” “Into the all World and preach the Good news to all creation.”
In 21st century church we have become not fishers of men but keepers of the aquarium. Don’t be limited by your weaknesses, abilities, talents, or knowledge. God is showing up always in our shortcomings. He is strong He is able He possesses all the knowledge and wisdom. What is impossible for man is possible with God.
We are criticized for being too bold, too radical, too visible, and too loud. So were the people, prophets, apostles, and evangelists in the bible. And who are we to obey? God or Man? Act 4: 19
May God fill you with his Holy Spirit to live a life in the light of eternity.
