Did I not say, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened?” (Matthew 24:22)
The birthing of my sons will shorten the coming days of great tribulation. They will achieve their mandates with great speed.
Understand this: it will no longer be business as usual. The time has come when my bondservants will go quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind (Matthew 14:21).
Tell my people, “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 (John 4:35).””
JOHN 4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
“The things that we do now cannot be changed.”
Signs, wonders, miracles and healings tend to get people’s attention and can overshadow the bigger picture. Don’t get me wrong, we desperately need a continuous manifestation of the supernatural in the church today, and there is no doubt that signs and wonders are a vital evangelistic tool.
The book of Acts clearly shows the need for miraculous manifestations of the Holy Spirit, and Jesus himself commanded His disciples to heal the sick.
MATTHEW 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Signs, wonders and miracles are part of the gospel message.
However, we need to see beyond salvation to the greater task of making new believers into disciples of Jesus.
Our purpose is to be conformed into the image of Jesus: THIS IS THE GREATER TASK.
Taught, Equipped, Sent
Acceleration is part of this generation’s heritage; it took Moses nearly eighty years to get to the place where God could use him to deliver Israel from Egyptian bondage.
For many long years, Moses was in preparation for this great task.
However, Joshua was different. Moses taught Joshua the ways of God over a very short period of time. Likewise, this generation is privileged to live in a time when God is doing a quick work.
ROMANS 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: 28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
As the presence of the Lord continues to increase in the church and the anointing intensifies, that which took years of training, teaching and preparing God’s people for the work of the Lord will be done in an incredibly short time.
This generation will undergo an intense period of preparation as they are taught how to come before the Lord and how to receive what God has for them. Their hearts will become so pure that revelation and understanding will flow into them like a river.
This is a generation that will give their all to see the Kingdom of God finally established in this earth. New wine requires new wineskins A new mentality or paradigm is needed for the days that lie ahead. For hundreds of years, Christians have lived within a framework of thinking that one’s mindset has to be changed in order to enter into what God purposed to do over the next few years.
Existing within the framework of being born again, living on this earth, serving the Lord, then eventually dying and making it to heaven, happy for ever after, is not enough for this generation.
The world around us is in a spiral of destruction on so many fronts. Lawlessness, especial among young people is at a level never seen before, As I write this, there are over forty three armed conflicts going on in the world. The economies of the world are at breaking point, and like the Titanic, they are heading for an iceberg of destruction. We have a whole generation of young people who have lost faith in mankind’s ability to bring in a better world. This loss of faith and trust in man’s ability to bring about positive change has opened the door to immense evil and spirits of lawlessness. This generation needs hope and purpose to live. They need to be challenged with the vision of saving this planet and bringing in the Kingdom of God and a thousand years of peace and blessing. THEY NEED A CAUSE TO DIE FOR. If we don’t give it to them the devil will.
