Survive or Thrive in 2005?
Well, 2004 is history and 2005 is off and running. Let me quote from Kenneth E Hagins Feb. 2003 prophecy,
"I will alert you concerning that which will affect you. I will show you the way to go, and you'll walk in it and be blessed. Above all the people of the world, upon the earth, you shall be blessed. For thou art My people, and My people shall rule and reign. And the blessings of God will fall upon them.
The latter rain shall be poured out. Yea, upon nations that are now barren and void. But the latter rain will be poured out. The seed will be planted, the harvest will come. The glory of God will shine upon the earth.
And they of the world will walk on in the way in which they've walked! And the darkness shall overtake them.
But ye shall walk in the light! The entrance of His words giveth light! Walk according to the Word. Walk in the Word. Walk in the Spirit.
And the power shall rest upon you. And the glory of God shall be seen upon your face! Many shall turn to the Lord. Great days, great times, great blessings are ahead. So rejoice and be glad."
Then came lengthy prophecy concerning 2003 and 2004 (The Year for More)
"What about 2005? Will time last or will it cease? 2005- oh my! a year of judgment. Judgment. If we judge ourselves, we'll not be judged. But when we are judged, we're turned over to satan for the destruction of the flesh so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
There'll be judgment in the individual realm. There'll be judgment in the family realm. There'll be judgment on a national level. A day of sternness. A day of discipline. A day of correction.
But the end of the year will be glorious. Amends shall be made. Many shall judge themselves. Nations will turn to God. And it'll end in a glorious manner."
My prayer for you beloved today is that you will be among the "many" that judge themselves, That repent, and make amends. So that you may be thoroughly prepared to minister to those falling into satans destruction. I pray that you will walk in the light, and allow the power of God to rest upon you and be seen upon your face!
Read 2 Timothy Chapter 3 "This know that in the last days perilous times shall come"---- read the rest of the chapter and tell me if that doesn't describe today! The times may be perilous but those who do know their God shall be strong and do exploits. Those who are PREPARED will not just survive but will thrive in 2005. This is not the day for mediocre Christianity, For Sunday only religion, or for playing church. It is time to talk the talk and walk the walk 24/7- 365. I have news for you; the world is taking sides and I pray for you to have the courage to boldly take the Lord's side. A Muslim cleric the other day said that the Tsunami disaster last week, which is reported to be the single biggest disaster in loss of human life that has ever been in recorded history, was the "Christians" fault. That Allah was fed up and struck! However I don't quite understand why if it was Allah striking at Christians he would choose to strike in a place with such a very small Christian population. But the point is that satan is planting the seed thought to the secular population to blame the Christians.
Immediately following George W. Bush's reelection. By winning both the popular and electoral vote! a University of Louisville professor right here in good ole Kentucky, speaking to a large class of students said "the ______ right wing religious Christian zealots have taken over and ruined the country and we should all get AK-47's and shoot ALL of them, if it were allowed." He later said he was being sarcastic. I joined with others and contacted the university and he has been "suspended" pending an investigation but will most likely be quietly reinstated when the heat gets off. Can you imagine what would have happened to a professor telling his class that abortionists or homosexuals or "any race or ethnic group" (except maybe white Americans) should all be shot with AK-47's? Wonder where he planned to "get" the illegal AK's from Castro?
Beloved now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed. Harvest time is at hand. The spiritual rain is pouring out and the next "wave" of the spirit could well be a Tsunami of REVIVAL and REVOLUTION. It could be the last great ingathering of the precious fruit of the earth before the imminent return Of Jesus Christ to Rule and Reign for a thousand years. This ole earth is groaning in travail. It is time for everyone who calls himself Christian to get in, get out, or get run over. I read on the internet that one man was out on his surfboard when the first Tsunami wave struck and he clung to it and surfed right into the second floor of the hotel where his family was, gathered them up as that wave receded and ran to the hills before the biggest of the waves came ashore and he saved all his family while thousands perished at that very beach! I'm keeping my spiritual board ready at all times I believe the biggest spiritual wave of all time is coming soon.
It's not too late to make your resolution for 2005 to walk closer to the Lord than ever, to walk more in the spirit than ever, To make JESUS the LORD of your life, your pilot not you co-pilot!
Are YOU ready for revival???
Beloved I desire above all things that ye prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers
I pray you thrive in 2005
Yours In Him, Jim
