Chapter 12: WAKE UP!

The message God gave me has long been in the Bible. He never told me one thing that is a secret to the world for the Bible testifies to each of the five points of the message that God gave me for the world today. Just the tenth chapter of the book of Matthew alone testifies to almost the entire message.

I now repeat for you point by point the entire five point message that God gave me to deliver to this world today.

Point Number 1: For those who call themselves Christians, this is the Laodicean Church Age in which we live. A high majority of so-called Christians are, in fact, living a deceived life. They talk Jesus and play church, but do not live it. They claim to be Christians and then live like the devil. They have bought the great lie from satan who tells them that they are all right. He tells them that it is all right to go to church on Sunday and attend mid-week services but as far as the rest of the time is concerned, they are to get all they can out of life. As far as their Christian life is concerned, they believe they are comfortable and have need of nothing and as a result, they are only lukewarm Christians if Christians at all. Because of this our Lord said He would spew them out of His mouth. The Bible describes this type of Christian in Revelation 3:14-22 Point Number 2: satan is a PERSONAL devil. Did you know that satan is a god? Did you know that satan deals on a PERSONAL basis with each individual?

Just as Jesus deals with each individual on a personal basis, so does satan. The soul of each human being is actively sought out by both God and satan, however, the numbers game has long been won by satan. He is winning this great numbers game because of his great skill in deception, deceit, trickery and outright lies. He also has a vast array of demons who have the same skills and abilities to assist him in this battle. One of the biggest weapons satan and his demons have is a large portion of so-called Christianity. These Christians do not even believe that satan is real and that his demons are real, let alone a threat. We all know that no one can resist an enemy if that one does not even believe that enemy exists. To him that hath an ear, let him hear. Learn from the Word of God how to resist the onslaught of satan.

Point Number 3: To the whole world, this is Noah's second day. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the son of man. Humans took no thought of what Noah was saying nor did humans believe that anything was about to change. Humanity could see the storm clouds over the horizon, but yet did not believe the rain was imminent. Notice the close parallel today.

Humanity can see all the signs of the last days, yet humanity does not believe that anything will change. He does not believe in the impending coming of our Lord and he does not prepare to meet God. Instead, he plans, builds, trades and gathers unto himself earthly treasures. Even as the stormclouds of tribulation gather on the horizon, he will not hear nor will he believe. He still refuses to believe.

Point Number 4: For those who claim to be Christians, they are supposed to be ambassadors for Christ here on earth. One cannot have any true witness or power in his life unless that one lives his Christian faith at all times, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. To be a true Christian one must live it, not just talk it. To honor God with your lips and not your heart is not acceptable, and those who worship Him in words only, God will spew out of His mouth. He does not want words only, but deeds from those who claim Him as their Savior. Those who publicly proclaim to know Him had BETTER know Him. For their own sakes, those who take a position of leadership in the Christian movement truly had better be called to that position by Him. Those who accept the responsibility of teaching, preaching, or any leadership role have much for which to answer. All of what has been said comes down to this point which is directly related to His commandment as recorded in Matthew 6:33, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."

Point Number 5: This is the greatest news since the Day of Pentecost! God is now in the process of recruiting an army with which He will shake this old world one more time. By working through his soldiers, God will produce great miracles that will shake the established hierarchy of the so-called organized religion that is in this world today. These soldiers that God is now recruiting will demonstrate the power of God to a greater extent than did the disciples in the Pentecostal age.

Some will even be greater demonstrations than those of Elijah. This is fantastic!

This is the greatest news of all time! God's recruitment for this army has been going on for some time. Some of these soldiers have been brought up to a certain level of faith and placed in a "holding" position where they shall remain until He has brought all the new ones up to that level. Remember, the Bible says that He is the Author and Finisher of our faith. It is going to be through the faith of the soldiers that God will demonstrate His great power. As was stated earlier, for a long time He has been recruiting a few. Now the recruitment has begun in earnest because God is about to perform the great miracles through his army that God promised us God would do in the Bible. John the Baptist brought the spirit of Elijah into this world and he did not even know he had it. John denied it, but Jesus confessed that it was so. The purpose of that spirit was to make straight the paths of the coming of the Lord.

I declare unto you that you the soldiers who are being recruited now to join with those who have been recruited in the past, will bring to this world the spirit of Elijah. Again the purpose is to make straight the paths of the coming of the Lord, for He is about to come again! You that sleep, now is the time to awaken! You Who have been in that "holding" pattern for years, look up! You're about to be put to work! To the new recruit, I would say study the Bible diligently and seek the Lord's will in every aspect of your life. Time is short for your spiritual training, but you will be used in ways you never thought possible if you seek the Lord FIRST in your life.

You Who are to be chosen are to be the soldiers of the latter rain as referred to in scripture. This recruitment is for the end of the great revival spoken of by the prophet Joel and begun on the day of Pentecost. The end-time of that great revival is the beginning of the latter rain, so you must prepare for the battle with the discipline of a professional soldier.

Know this also. There shall be a time or process of "culling" those who are not qualified to be a member of this "Gideon's" army. Just as Gideon's army in the Bible, only a select few will be fit for service in the army of Christian soldiers the Lord will use in the battle of the latter rain.
