10 DAYS OF FASTING & PRAYING THURSDAY 3RD of OCTOBER – SATURDAY 12TH of OCTOBER 2024 PART 1

Updated: Oct 8

 

10 DAYS OF FASTING & PRAYING THURSDAY 3RD of OCTOBER – SATURDAY 12TH of OCTOBER 2024



THEME: “TEN DAYS OF REPENTANCE SEEKING AFTER GOD”

 

DATE: THURSDAY 3RD of OCTOBER – SATURDAY 12TH of OCTOBER (6am -6pm)

 

SCRIPTURE: Acts 3:19-20 “Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before,”

 

Precious Saints

The Jewish calendar is both solar and lunar, consisting of 12 months of either 29 or 30 days. The Jewish year (5784, 5785, etc.) begins on Rosh Hashanah, and all holidays begin at sundown on the start date listed and end at sundown on the end date listed.

 

Now if you are reading this before the sunset of the 2nd of October then you are in the current year of 5784 which began at sunset on September 15, 2023 and will end at sunset on October 2, 2024.

 

The Jewish calendar, unlike the Gregorian one, follows the moon’s lead, introducing a 19-year cycle with seven leap years adding a full month to maintain synchronization with the solar year. This method ensures that Jewish holidays, though varying from the Gregorian calendar by about a month, consistently occur at the same seasonal junctures.

 

Now what about the solar eclipse that is scheduled on the 2nd of October which marks the start of Rosh Hashanah. Yes, there will be a “ring of fire” solar eclipse. Not just a solar eclipse but also a “Comet of the Century” that will be seen the brightest at the exact same time of the spectacular “ring of fire” eclipse that is appearing in the sky. God is always speaking, but most of the time we are not listening.

 

 

God speaks to us through such signs and seasons, just as He was speaking to us earlier this year when the total solar eclipse took place mainly over the USA.

 

Genesis 1:14 "Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;"

 

Luke 21: 25-28 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near."

 

Revelation 3:3 "Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you."

 

God used a solar eclipse in the 9th plague upon Egypt. Whenever God speaks to us through a lunar eclipse like a blood moon for instance, He is speaking judgment to Israel. But whenever He speaks through a solar eclipse, He is speaking judgment to the nations. Especially for that nation that it is visible from.

 

The Ninth Plague: Darkness

 

Exodus 10:21-23 "Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, [a]darkness which may even be felt.” 22 So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. 23 They did not see one another; nor did anyone rise from his place for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings"

 

Sixth Seal: Cosmic Disturbances

Revelation 6:12 "I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and [a]behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the [b]moon became like blood."

 

The “ring of fire” eclipse will only be visible for a very short time, but the “Comet of the Century” will continue to be visible throughout much of October. On October 9th and 10th, the comet will “pass almost directly between Earth and the Sun” Another interesting factor is, “the Comet of the Century” will come closest to our planet on October 12th and as you are joining this fast that turns out to be Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement). As you will see this is a very Holy Day in God’s prophetic calendar.

 

We are being told that the comet will appear to “rapidly climb in the western sky” and will become “a bright, naked-eye object for a few days” starting on Yom Kippur. After swinging between Earth and the Sun, the comet will appear in the evening sky.

 

So with all these signs coming during these feast days we must seriously look at Psalm 83 being closer than ever. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has announced that his nation “will continue to fight against the Hezbollah terrorist organization with all our strength until victory and the safe return of the residents of the north to their homes.” So that means things will continue to ramp up more with the war drums beating towards prophecy fulfilment. I will take more about this below.

 

Now I started doing these 10 day of awe fasts SINCE 2020 after I had a dream with an important message. In the dream I was given a scroll from a messenger from heaven and when I opened the scroll I read and heard an audible voice mention the date 26th of September Fall (Autumn). After hearing this voice, I immediately awoke from the dream and understood that this date was the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) and after studying more about this holy day and other fall Hebrew feasts that are yet to be fulfilled. So, after more direction from the Holy Spirit, I know this was a direct call and need to call for 10 days corporate fasting and prayer during the days of Awe. These days of Awe or more commonly known as the 10 Days of Repentance in the Hebrew calendar.

 

Now just so we understand the significance of the dream and the Jewish feasts connection, I thought it is important for us to understand the Jewish Feasts a little better before we get into the program. So, the first of the Fall (Autumn) Feasts on the Hebrew calendar is the Feast of Trumpets. The Hebrew people commonly refer to this feast as Rosh Hashanah, which literally means “head of the year.” It is the Jewish New Year’s Day and is celebrated on the first two days of their month Tishri.

 

During the Feast of Trumpets, God instructed “you shall observe a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with the blast of trumpets, a holy convocation.” (Leviticus 23:24). Rosh Hashanah is also the first of a ten-day period during which God’s people enter into self-examination and repentance, known as the 10 Days of Awe, which conclude on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. It is a time to also forgive people of their debts and anyone that may have offended us. So, to many Jewish people around the world, it is a time for serious self-examination, a time to consider the sins of the previous year and repent before Yom Kippur which is the Day of Atonement.

 

Precious Saints as you may know recently from reading the dream I had of myself holding a bullhorn and I was declaring to the nations the Endtime message of the Lord and I would go from place to place on this motorcycle. This motorcycle enabled me to go from city to city very fast, and I was declaring that the end time revival is here.

 

As I was declaring these words the atmosphere changed, and the heavens opened in the sky. The glory of God could be seen in an open heaven, as the light and glory of God was revealed to all below. There was like a rain of the Holy Spirit that was being released upon each place after I declared the revival.

 

I believed that this is to be interpreted that in the current 5784 (2024) Hebrew year and the upcoming new year 5785 (2024-25) that I will be very busy travelling and there shall be a release of God’s glory coming. 

 

I also declared that 2023 was a year to hear the good shepherds’ voice.

 

Psalm chapter 23 = Year 2023

 

Psalm chapter 24 = Year 2024

 

2024 so far has been a Year of separation and consecration to help continue to hear the Good Shephard's voice. But also, the Year 2024 matches up with Psalm 24 and continues to bring us into deeper consecration and separation, for heavens gates are about to open and the king of glory is going to send the latter glory. I believed and still do now that the year 2024 is the year of revival, the year of God’s glory opening the heavens. Now last year I mentioned that 5784 was a year of release. 

 

This New Hebrew Year will be the Hebrew year of 5785 and I just find it interesting that when praying and doing some Strongs concordance exercises. I see this being a year of the garment and preparation for imminent snatching away of the bride. I know the End-time revival that is coming will help do the final touches and works in preparing a bride without spot etc.

 

But in the bigger scheme of things, or the bigger prophetic picture dealing with Israel also and God’s prophetic word, this is where it gets interesting. Just as all Biblical prophecies are centred upon Israel, God’s chosen inheritance, look at this.

 

Strong’s Hebrew Concordance #5785 is named hide, leather, skin as spoken about in Genesis 3:21 “Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of [animal] skin and clothed them.” Now the first sacrifice made was in the garden when God skinned the animal to make clothes for Adam and Eve. See in the spirit nakedness represents sin and God covered their shame after the fall by giving them animal hide to wear as clothes. The sacrifice was a fore picture of Jesus coming to deal with the issue of sin and we must now cloth ourselves in Him alone. Romans 13:14 “Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.” Revelation 16:15 “Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who remains awake and clothed, so that he will not go naked and let his shame be exposed.” Revelation 19:8 “She was given clothing of fine linen, bright and pure.” For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints.”

 

Strong’s Hebrew Concordance #85, as in 5785, is named “Abraham.” His name means “exalted father,” the father of many nations and tribes, including specifically the father of the Jewish nation of Israel.

 

But when you look up Strong’s Greek Concordance #85, you get the word anemones, which means” to be distressed, to feel fear, lack of courage, to be distressed, and troubled.

 

When you combine these two words, you get “the time of Jacobs Trouble – prophetically warns us we are only getting closer to the snatching away of the bride. This also will one day fulfil the final 7-year tribulation period, the final 70th week of Daniels 70 weeks Prophecy.

 

The Tribulation will last seven prophetic Hebrew years (lasting 360 days each) in all, but the Great Tribulation will be the second half of the Tribulation period.

Daniel 12:1 “At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.”

 

Jeremiah 30:7 "Alas! For that day is great, So that none is like it; And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble, But he shall be saved out of it."

 

Now both Daniel 12:1 and Jeremiah 30:7 you have read above is a prophecy about this Jacob’s trouble which will be fulfilled at the Second Coming of Christ.

 

So, Daniel's Seventieth Week which is the Seven year Tribulation this time of Jacobs Trouble will only start at the 3.5 year period (the Great Tribulation) and at the end the Messiah establishes His literal, earthly Millennial Kingdom.

 

Now I am not saying the rapture is going to happen this year etc, so please do not get me wrong. But we are drawing ever closer to our Lord Jesus appearing on the clouds to snatch away His bride. Therefore, even this last revival will be used to help wake up the sleeping church from their slumber.

 

When most people think of God’s grace, they only consider the forgiveness aspect, but do not ever consider the repentance aspect. The preaching of repentance is necessary for the genuine new birth. The only evidence of the new birth is the new life.

 

For grace to occur, you must have conviction, the revelation of sin, the judgment, or the commencement of a judgment, followed by the act of repentance through both confession and the literal act of turning away from the sin. Without the conviction, there is no revelation, no emergence of the truth, and therefore no direction. The bible says in 2 Corinthians 7:10 “godly sorrow works out our repentance….”

 

When the children of God exaggerate the work of Grace, the spirit of God is commonly grieved. So, we need repentance revival to come or possibly something to occur to bring forward a conviction over a people or a whole nation.

 

Now also continue to keep your eyes on the fig tree (Israel), as we are awaiting the rapture of the spotless remnant bride of Christ. For the restrainer will only restrain back the antichrist from appearing while the anointed empowered bride is still here. Once the remnant bride is ready and the last harvest of souls comes in this age of grace, He will rapture His church and the Spirit of grace will them come upon Israel and they will mourn at rejecting Jesus their Messianic Messiah. 

 

So, such massive prophetic signs like the revival, rapture and the yet to be fulfilled commencement or beginning of the coming Ezekiel’s Prophecy of the war of Gog and Magog, the rise of a global currency, which means the crash of the US Dollar, and we may see some major advancements in sciences and possibly more outbreaks of pandemics and civil unrest etc still also may come first. Remember everything we are seeing today is just a preview of what’s coming in the 7 Year Tribulation. So, it will get a whole lot worse later which also this means greater glory must come also soon.

 

Now depending on the date, you are reading this I am currently finishing my mission in Africa at Cape Town this weekend and now will specifically shift my attention to praying for the United States of America and the November Repentance Revival Movement meetings. So, it is time for you to stand in the gap for your nations to see repentance revival also and repent today within your nation. Yes, with so many evil things being brought to the light within this hour and just to name a few repenting for allowing the snake bite to be injected into our children, abortion (killing of innocent unborn babies), human trafficking, paedophile syndicates, greed, murder, hatred (racism), rebellion, deception, lying, perversion etc and the list goes on. We are truly living in a time were the Prophet Isaiah spoke of in Isaiah 5:20 where people would say good is evil and evil is good. This October should be a time of coming back to God, as an individual, as a church and as a nation.     

 

During these Ten Days of Repentance, we will provide you with daily teachings and instructions to follow for each of the days. These devotional thoughts will hopefully be a blessing to you and help you draw closer to the Lord. We will also present a passage or two from the Bible for you to meditate upon and allow the Lord to speak to you through His word during this important season of the year, as we the called-out ones prepare in holiness for the snatching away of His bride.

 

During the 10 days, we will believe God for repentance revival, miracles, and breakthrough in our spiritual lives. Whether this is your first time fasting or you have done these many times, the result is always a closer connection with God and a stronger church family.

 

If you believe the church needs revival then it must start with us first, because only then can revival possibly spread to those around you in and in the church, then outward to the community and hopefully, reaching out to the lost if perhaps God grants them repentance because without repentance, there can be no revival and without revival, there can be no awakening of the large harvest of souls. Such a revival giving lost souls the chance for their sins to be forgiven and give eternal life for those who are presently separated from God by their sins (Isaiah 59:1-2). That’s what revival is all about precious saints.

 

We are excited about the remaining of 2024 despite the troubles we have seen with our natural eyes, but remember Jesus said to be not troubled (Matthew 24:5). We are expectant of a mighty manifestation of the supernatural in our midst and upon the earth! As you enter this fast, release decrees and declarations that you will see the burdens of the beginning of this year fall from you and have a renewed vision and hope for the later part of 2024, no matter what the future holds Jesus is alive saints! He is still healing today and is still sitting on the throne!

What am I required to fast from?

 

We want to leave this decision up to you. We do not have any mandatory church-wide requirements for how you fast, but here are a few ideas:

 

Food Fast

 

When we choose not to eat or not to eat certain foods, we allow our physical bodies to hunger and to bring our desires into alignment with our spiritual need for God. There is a clarity in hearing from the Lord which comes when we fast and pray; making a small sacrifice to give up a “pleasure” or comfort to increase your spiritual sight and vision.

We are providing the following options for you to consider:

 

1. Food Fast

 

You fast from all foods from either 10pm-6pm (20 hours) or 6am-6pm (12 hours) each day with fluids allowed.

 

2. Partial Fast

 

You choose to eliminate certain things i.e. fizzy drinks; sweets/chocolates, bread, no red meat etc, but the rest of your diet remains mainly the same

 

3. Fruit and Veg

 

Eat fruit during the day, with liquids (tea/limited coffee, herbal drinks and water) with a veg meal in the evenings

 

4. Liquids only during day and veg meal for dinner

 

Drink water and herbal drinks during the day with a veg meal in the evenings.

Please consult your doctor if there are any medical concerns before you commence the fast.

 

Media Fast

 

During this time, we encourage you to turn off the TV, computer, video games, Facebook, twitter, Instagram, the Internet, and any other form of social media for a brief peri od of time. You may decide to fast from Facebook or some other form of media altogether or to limit your time to only 1-2 hours per week. When we do this, we create more time when we can read our Bible, pray, worship, and hear from God.

Search your heart in deciding what type of food fast you want to do. If you have never fasted, maybe start off with a partial fast and progress to a fruit and veg option for the last 3 days. Remember, the most important consideration in fasting is your motive. Why are you fasting?

 

What will we be praying about?

 

Check each day for the next 10 days there will theme topics, scriptures and prayers so you may follow corporately all together. We are trusting the Lord that this time of fasting and prayer will release a passion for His name within us – to cut off what belongs to a past seasons, to receive renewed hope and vision for our lives/ministries, to be conduits for signs, wonders and miracles and to fulfill the mandate of sharing the gospel to the ends of the earth! During this time of fasting, be intentional about your priorities. Set aside ample time to be alone with the Lord. The more time you spend with God, the more meaningful your fast will be. If you need an overview or suggestions on what you can do to make the most of the fast in terms of having a daily routine, use the below points:

 

Morning

 

Begin your day in praise and worship

 

Read the days program and meditate on God’s Word

 

Invite Holy Spirit to work in you

 

Noon

 

Take a short prayer walk

 

Spend time in intercessory prayer for the theme of the day

 

Evening

 

Make time for an unhurried time of “seeking God’s face”

 

If others are fasting with you, meet together for prayer

 

Avoid television or any other distraction that may affect your spiritual focus and watch the daily uploads to YouTube. You are welcome to watch Christian movies etc.

 

When possible, begin and end each day with your spouse, family or friend for a brief time of praise and thanksgiving to the Lord.

 

Please let us know you’ll be fasting & praying with us!

 

RACTICAL TIPS FOR FASTING:

 

1. Avoid medical and even natural herbal drugs. However, if you are under medication, these should only be withdrawn upon the advice of your doctor. You may choose to just skip one meal a day to still be able to take all medications.

 

2. Limit your physical activity and exercise. If you have a workout routine, adjust it accordingly.

 

3. Rest as much as you can if needed be.

 

4. Maintain an attitude of prayer throughout the day. Intercede for your family, pastors, church, nation, missionaries & world missions, etc.

 

5. Drink plenty of clean water if you are joining the water fast.

 

6. As your body adjusts, be prepared for temporary bouts of physical weakness as well as a greater likelihood of impatience, irritability, and anxiety.

 

DAY 1 THEME: "THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS”

 

DATE: THURSDAY 3RD OF OCTOBER 2024

 

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Leviticus 23:24 “you shall observe a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with the blast of trumpets, a holy convocation.”

 

At Sunset yesterday, began Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets) which is the New Year celebration of Jewish people all over the earth. It is the Feast of Trumpets and starts 10 Days of Repentance and ends with Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement). Though these two Holidays are for the Jewish Peoples, we have chosen what Israelites call “The High and Holy Holidays” for our “10 Days of Prayer & Fasting” because of their prophetic nature. That is, in His first coming Christ fulfilled the first four Jewish Feasts (for instance The Passover when He died on the Cross for our sins and Pentecost when the Holy Spirit kicked off the Church Age ten days after Jesus Ascension into Heaven), but by His Second Coming He will fulfill the last three Jewish Feasts. Therefore, these “10 Days of Prayer & Fasting” are perfect timing for praying for the Second Coming of our Lord and Saviour!

 

Why is it important for a Christian believer to understand what is hidden in the Old Testament? The New Covenant message is the ultimate message that gets people saved and into heaven. But what do you do after when people have been saved? See there is a deep of study that can only come from the depth and study of the entire word of God. See the Old Testament Is the New Testament concealed. The New Testament is the Old Testament revealed.

 

The Apostle Paul suggests the importance of understanding and even experiencing the Jewish festivals in his letter to Timothy. He writes,

 

“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

 

I have found the above verses to be very helpful and practical in understanding the role of the festivals in the lives of believers in Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah.

 

In using the term Scripture, Paul is referring to the entirety of the Old Testament.  Certainly, we can infer that this is also true of the New Testament, but specifically, Paul has the Hebrew Scriptures in mind. Remember he was a radical orthodox pharisee that was very well trained in the Torah (Old Testament), but He was radically converted. See every part of the Bible is useful to us in the process of growing to spiritual maturity and this would include the Jewish holidays, as they all see Christ Jesus ultimately one day fulfilling all by His second coming.

 

Paul is not suggesting that we must keep these festivals in a particular way nor is he suggesting that we are under obligation to keep them! Rather, he tells us that every verse in every one of the thirty-nine books of the Old Testament is helpful and may be utilized for spiritual benefit. This would be true of the festivals outlined in Leviticus 23 and would include the three fall events: the New Year, the Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles. Therefore, learning more about these “feasts” is helpful for your spiritual journey. For me, the emphases of the first two holidays on repentance and forgiveness creates a magnificent backdrop for understanding the work of Jesus the Messiah, who died that we might live. This time of fasting and prayer allows us to prioritise our relationship with the Lord at the start of the Hebrew calendar new year; releasing all that held us back, hurt or hindered us in 2024; freeing us up to enter this new Hebrew year hungry for the supernatural to increase in our lives and prepare for the rapture of the church.

 

His Word also declares “Be in awe and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted throughout the earth.” (Psalm 46:10) Whereas God is usually seeking us, during the 10 Days of Awe the Jewish believer will seek Him. It is as if the Father is saying to His children, “If you want to know Me, seek Me!” Therefore, I have decided it is a time for us to seek more of the Holy Spirit during this time, who in the one in charge of the sanctification process to prepare us for His coming. So, let’s go a little deeper the Hebrew term Yamim Noraim or the עשרת ימי תשובה, (10 Days of Awe) refers not only to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, but the seven days in between. In 2024, Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Thursday, Oct. 3 and ends at sundown on Saturday, Oct. 12.

 

This year Days of Awe 2024/5785, on our calendar, these feasts are:

 

Oct 2 – Oct 3 – Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets)

 

Oct 4 – Oct 10 – 7 Days of Awe between

 

Oct 11 – Oct 12 – Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement)

 

Rosh Hashanah It is a time of inner renewal and divine atonement and is one of the High Holiday periods. The Days of Awe represent the climax of a longer process. Starting at the beginning of the previous month, called Elul, the shofar is traditionally sounded at the conclusion of the morning service. A ram’s horn that makes a trumpet-like sound, the shofar is intended as a wake-up call to prepare for the Tishrei holidays. One week before Rosh Hashanah, special petitionary prayers called Selichot are added to the ritual. Rosh Hashanah itself is also known as Yom Hadin or the Day of Judgment, on which God opens the Books of Life and Death, which are then sealed on Yom Kippur.

 

Shofar — Pronounced shoh-FAR or SHOH-far (rhymes with “so far”). The ram’s horn that is sounded during the month of Elul, on Rosh Hashanah, and at the end of Yom Kippur. It is mentioned numerous times in the Bible, in reference to its ceremonial use in the Temple and to its function as a signal-horn of war. On the Feast of Trumpets, it says In Leviticus 23:24 God commands his people to gather and to commemorate the decree with trumpet blasts. On the same front, the sound of a trumpet is also associated with the rapture, or the time Jesus will return for his bride (1 Corinthians 15:52). Once he returns, there will be a wedding feast of celebration. Revelation 19:9 says, “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb”. He is preparing us to celebrate!

 

The Days of Awe are filled with wonder and worship, days of reflection, fasting, and prayer, days of solemnity and solace. These are days meant to set the tone for the beginning of the Jewish New Year even as they remind the faithful to reflect on what has gone before. So, during this time according to Jewish custom, God, in a sense, withdraws His presence in order to create a hunger in the hearts of His people so that they will abandon all else in pursuit of Him. In this season, we are commanded to celebrate the freedom, victory, healing, blessing, peace, and dominion that Christ our Redeemer provisioned for us by the atoning work of His cross – and a reminder of His soon-coming return.

 

The main thrust of our prayers will be in three areas today. First, that there will be UNITY in the Body of Christ. Our Lord prayed that we would be one as He and the Father are One (John 16:21). Second, that believers would gain greater maturity in Christ. The church is meant by God to equip us for good works in Jesus so that we might all come to unity through growing more and more into Christlikeness (Ephesians 4:11-16). Third, that the church might be getting ready for the rapture of the church and the Second Coming of our LORD. Worship is a wonderful way to do this, and also evangelizing. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “The gospel must be preached to every nation and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14). So, our prayer targets each day will be 1.) For Ourselves to grow in Christ and in unity toward one another. 2.) For our city’s and families, because there are many lost around us that need to hear the gospel and be saved and our like-minded churches need to continue to work together to help all believers be “salt & light” here for Christ. 3.) For our Nations as the Pentecostal, Charismatic, Evangelical Churches etc desperately needs revival. 4.) For our world which needs to have greater peace. But only through Christ will that peace come, for He is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6-7). We need to pray that the Great Commission will be fulfilled in our lifetime (Matthew 28:18-20).

 

PRAYER FOCUS DAY 1:

 

Prayer for Ourselves: (1 John 5:13) “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.”

 

Prayer for your city: Matthew 5:13-16 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Pray for unity of the Spirit between family members, churches, and the desire to work together, so that the lost will be saved, and Christians would be “salt & light” here.

 

Prayer for our Nation: 2 Chronicles 7:14 “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.” Pray that believers all over your nation would join in repentance and truly seek the face of God. Pray that the church would be revived and, as Christians starting to get it right with each other that the world would know we are Christians by our love for one another.

 

Prayer for our World:  Matthew 24:14 “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.”  Pray that the gospel will be spread throughout the nations of the world and that “The Prince of Peace” would rule in the hearts of men, women, boys, and girls!

 

DAY 2 THEME: "SAINTS WE NEED MORE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT”

 

DATE: FRIDAY 4TH OF OCTOBER 2024

 

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Acts 1:8 “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

 

As this starts off day two of ten days of fasting and praying the weeks of awe, I want us to start off today by repenting of all known and unknown sins before the Lord. For according to 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

 

See it is the Holy Spirit that convicts us of sin (John 16:8), so ask the Holy Spirit now to reveal to you any area within your life that needs repenting and start to confess to the Lord with a broken heart and a contrite spirit (Psalm 51:17) 

 

As you allow the blood of Jesus to wash you today from all unrighteousness, I want us to focus back on the today’s main scripture. Acts 1:8 “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

 

Jesus was giving His disciples the very invitation to receive the power of God from on high. See Jesus knew the importance of the Holy Spirit, because without the Holy Spirit He could not do the mission before Him. (Acts 10:38)

 

So, if Jesus emphasised the importance of receiving the Holy Spirit, then why do we not hunger and thirst for the gift of the Spirit more today? Why do we not talk of it, pray for it, and preach concerning it? The Lord is more willing to give the Holy Spirit to all those who hunger and thirst for Him. He desires to give more of the Holy Spirit to all those that serve Him, just like good parents that reward their children with gifts. God desires to give you more and more of His Spirit each day.

 

Imagine we had ordinary men and women that were waiting in one place in one accord worship God with an expectation of something that they had never experienced before. But when the power of God came it transformed this ordinary people to do extraordinary tasks before them. The church of Jesus Christ was announced with a mighty rushing wind and a tornado of fire that would transform life’s forever. They became the people they became and led thousands to Christ, because they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

 

As I look back at my own introduction to the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I was at a charismatic long weekend with a group of youth that also did not know what to expect, but that weekend the Holy Spirit came down with fire. Where tongues of fire touched tongues of flesh and I started to speak in the heavenly language. Where gifts of prophecy, words of knowledge and visions were imparted. Where a new spiritual boldness was given to reach lost souls, where a new deep love for the God head and Holy Spirit formed. Yes, I was never the same for something compelled me to share this experience with others, so others could also come into the fullness of what the baptism of the Holy Spirit promises for all who ask and wait upon Him. 

 

See at that time I started to pray for people and many also were being filled within the Holy Spirit and no matter where God was moving, I wanted to be there to experience more of the Holy Spirit. I also remember the persecution that came from the religious people around us, that could not understand this newfound love for God or speaking in an unknown language. But despite of the attacks from religious people the joy of the Lord always overcome the attacks. When you pray for people and they start to be healed of their sickness or delivered from their oppression; then you not only know God is with you, but that He will do what He says He will do in His Word. What about you? Do you need more of the Holy Spirit in your life? Then Cry out to Him to fill you starting from today.

 

Here Are Further Scriptures To Dwell Upon:

Paul once asked 12 men from Ephesus, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” (Acts 19:2, NLT). How would you answer? The Ephesian men said, “No, we have not even heard of the Holy Spirit.”

 

Romans 8:16—When the Holy Spirit comes among us, we will confess our sins and receive the gift of salvation through Jesus. We will have assurance of salvation because we are children of God.

 

Ezekiel 36:25-27—The presence of the Holy Spirit will give us a new mind and a new heart. We will have victory over our sins and see real character growth.

 

John 7:38, 39 and Galatians 5:22, 23—When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, the fruit of the Spirit—the character of God—will flow from us like rivers of living water.

 

Acts 4:13, 31—The abiding presence of the Holy Spirit will motivate and empower us to share the gospel with as many people as possible.

 

John 16:13—As the Spirit dwells in us, we will have a hunger and love for the Bible, and He will lead us into all truth. This truth is not just a technical understanding of facts but the very character of Christ, who is the Truth.

 

Romans 8:26, 27—As we pray in the Holy Spirit, we will have power in our prayers and will see many miraculous answers to prayer.

 

Jesus said there would be two groups of Christians just before His return (Matthew 25). “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.” (Matthew 25:). Five bridesmaids were foolish and had no oil (the presence of the Holy Spirit; see Zechariah 4:1-6) in reserve. These represent those who appear to be followers of Jesus but are not. They are religious but not spiritual. Thus Jesus said to them, “I don’t know you!” The five wise bridesmaids had plenty of oil. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and had a genuine relationship with Jesus. The disciples, in obedience to the command of Christ, remained in Jerusalem after His ascension. “They spent all of their time in the Temple, praising God” (Luke 24:53). When they were not in the temple, they were in the upper room. “They all met together and were constantly united in prayer, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, several other women, and the brothers of Jesus” (Acts 1:14, NLT). Ten days later they were all baptized in the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2), and 3,000 were converted in one day in that one place!

Lord, we pray for those individuals that the Holy spirit brings to our attention right now, that they may let the Holy Spirit work in their lives.

 

DAY 3 THEME: “EXPOSING SATANS AGENDA”

 

DATE: SATURDAY 5TH OF OCTOBER 2024

 

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Numbers 23:23 says, “Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!”

 

Luke 10:19 says, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

 

So, what is Satan’s plan and agenda you might be saying? Anyone who seeks to have a CLOSE relationship with God through prayer and desire for greater intimacy with the Father through the finished work of the Son, Jesus — will become a prime target for satanic attacks. The Bible says that there is an enemy who is bent on destruction.

 

John 10:10 The thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy… and will do whatever it takes to leave us discouraged, doubting and defeated Christians. In our “scientific” society where nothing you can’t see, feel, touch, taste or smell seems real, some scoff at the mention of a spiritual battle. The Bible, however, makes it clear: We have an “enemy the devil [who] prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

 

But Jesus promises that His followers can both survive and thrive through the battle: “I have come that they may have life and have it to the full” (John 10:10).

 

In most nations today become much more popular than it was say 30 years ago. Today, there is popular Satanic music, Satanic street gangs, an increase in Satanic worship, a more widespread use of the horoscope and study of the signs of the zodiac, and Satanic games that can be purchased. Despite this, many people do not take the occult seriously. They laugh off the notion of the Power of Evil as actually being a part of the "real" world in which we live. Just the other day I was in a public place while overhearing a group of men talking loudly about witchcraft from a very deep level and they had a knowledge and interest in the different forms all around the world.

 

I do believe that demonic influence is very real and that it constitutes a dangerous threat to our spiritual well-being. What is written here is, at best, is a summary of a reality that I have no desire to spend too much time exploring. My purpose is simply to give you enough knowledge to be able to at least suspect the presence of the occult and evil, so that you can avoid it completely. The truth is we are surrounded by the enemy, and if not directly influenced many are slaves to the enemy through sin.  

 

Satan Has a Terrible Plan against Gods creation and to every believer of Christ Jesus. In the letter to the Ephesians (1:3-10), the apostle Paul tells us that God chose us in Jesus Christ before the world began. We are called to be holy and without sin in his sight. God called us to be his children through Jesus Christ. In Jesus and through his Blood we have been saved and our sins forgiven. This is how generous God our Father has been with us. And He has given us the wisdom to understand this mystery, this plan He revealed to us in Christ.

 

GOD’S KINGDOM

Now the kingdom of God is absolutely opposed to Satan's kingdom. Salvation in Jesus Christ presupposes our rejection of the kingdom of darkness. Our life, though, is a spiritual warfare. In the first letter of John.

1 John 5:18-20 “We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. 19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. 20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.”

 

Peter tells us two things. First, we who are born of God and are protected by God, so that the Evil One cannot touch us. But he also tells us that the whole world is under the Evil One. See the Evil One can tempt us, but he cannot touch us directly unless we open the door for him. We should not fear Satan, nor should we be constantly looking for him in the ordinary happenings of our life or under every rock as I like to put it. Do not concentrate on the Evil Spirits but fix your eyes and your faith upon Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We are saved by grace in faith of Jesus Christ alone. Through prayer and obedience and adherence to the Word of God in the Bible we are fuelled to finish the race He has started. He who started that good work in us shall be finished in Jesus Mighty Name!

 

THE DEVIL’S ACTIVITIES

To get an idea of the activities of the Devil and his fallen-angel followers, just look at the names for them throughout Scripture. Among many descriptive titles, the Devil is called the wicked one, adversary, father of lies. Fallen angels are called evil spirits, demons, unclean spirits. Together, their expressed activities include:

 

•Tempting (Matthew 4:1)

 

•Lying (John 8:44)

 

•Accusing (Zechariah 3:1)

 

•Corrupting (2 Peter 2:10-12) “and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of [a]dignitaries, 11 whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption,”

 

•Deceiving (1 Timothy 4:1) Now the Spirit [a]expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

 

We must realize, however, that God limits the activities of Satan and his demons. Jesus’ death on the cross sealed the judgment of demonic forces: “When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him” (Colossians 2:15; also see John 16:11;19:30; Hebrews 2:14).

 

Because of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, someone has said that Satan is like a bee without a stinger. Jesus took hold of the bee and was “stung.” Now the bee does a lot of buzzing and annoying, but he has no stinger (see Romans 6:23). For the wages of sin is death, but the [a]gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

It has been said that the Devil and his demons are like dogs, with leashes that extend only as far as God determines (see Job 1:9-12; Luke 22:31). In His perfect wisdom, God allows their activities, but He is always working above and beyond them (see Genesis 50:20-21; Romans 8:28-29; Jesus’ crucifixion — and its results — is the ultimate example). 28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

 

Yet the Enemy and his followers are in denial, for they still think victory is within their grasps. They continue to do whatever they can to affect people — made in the image of God and with the potential of glorifying and being glorified by Him.

 

Though the ultimate war has been won, we are engaged in a daily battle against the prince of this world. We are clearly warned in God’s Word of the damage that can be inflicted by the kingdom of darkness. The Enemy schemes against us, throws flaming missiles at us, seeks to devour us, and wages direct warfare upon us (2 Corinthians 2:10-11 “10 Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For [a]if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ, 11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.”

 

Ephesians 6:11-12, Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the [a]wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [b]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

 

We are to arm ourselves, stand against, refute, resist and overcome (Ephesians 6:12-18; Isaiah 54:7; James 4:7; Revelation 12:11). Everything we need to successfully do battle was appropriated on the Cross. We simply need to appropriate it.

 

SATAN’S KINGDOM

What is the kingdom of Satan, the kingdom of darkness like? It is a lie that seeks to resemble the Kingdom of God. Read Isaiah (14:12-15).

 

Isaiah 14:12-15 “How you are fallen from heaven, O [a]Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! 13 For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’ 15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the [b]lowest depths of the Pit.”

 

It is about Satan. The prophet Isaiah tells us that in his heart Satan is determined to be like God. Therefore, in Satan's kingdom he wants everything that is in the Kingdom of God. But his kingdom is a lie; it is false. In the kingdom of darkness, there is false worship and adoration; there is evil prayer. He offers us false happiness and peace. He holds out to us dark wisdom and knowledge. This is how he tempted Adam and Eve (Gen. 3:5). Satan said: "No, God knows well that the moment you eat it (the forbidden fruit) your eyes will be opened, and you will be like gods who know what is good and what is bad." In his kingdom, Satan also offers us a health that is unto death, and a protection that is false. Just as we picture the angels of heaven singing and worshipping God, there is also a special music that is evil in the kingdom of darkness.

 

Satan's kingdom is a lie. He wants to be like God. But in the very first of the Ten Commandments, God told Moses: "I am the Lord your God. You shall not have strange gods that are proposed to us in the kingdom of darkness. " Paul tells us in 1 Tim 4:1 to be on our guard: "The Spirit says clearly that some men will abandon their faith in later times. They will obey lying spirits and follow the teaching of demons" (1 Tim. 4:1). Let us hold fast to our faith in the Lord Jesus and his Church. Our salvation is brought about by Jesus Christ alone and the finished work of the cross. Jesus has given us all authority to overcome the enemy and we need to exercise that authority each day to overcome the enemy. Let us pray today to overcome the enemy.

DAY 4 THEME: PRAYER FOR HOPE AND PEACE WITHIN OUR NATIONS

 

DATE: SUNDAY 6TH OF OCTOBER 2024

 

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Hebrews 6:19-20 “This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20 where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”

 

What all nations at this time need is hope, and when our hope is anchored into Christ Jesus who is the hope of all glory, the hope of all nations we can have true peace. See there is only one hope, the person of Jesus. Our hope is not in a change of circumstances, but is in the LORD

 

Psalm 39:7 “And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You.”

 

But the scriptures also reveal that Jesus did not come to bring peace, but a sword. (Matthew 10:34) See Jesus must bring judgment to the sin in this world and only those that turn to Him in repentance can receive this peace that the world cannot receive.

 

For those who watched this year’s Olympic games and any of the previous commonwealth games opening ceremony, you could see that it was blatant Baal worship being demonstrated right before your eyes. Though if you try to show many in the church today, most will just think you are a conspiracy theorist.

 

Unfortunately, many in the church today still just want life to go back to normal and the way church was run before pre-plandemic. But despite the many that are still asleep, God is raising His remnant elect to discern the season. Today we are coming up against the powers of darkness that have not been experience previously, especially with the amounts of fear and oppression.

 

Baal worship is very must alive and well today in society and this god was often portrayed as a calf or bull, which suggests that the idol that the Israelites built while Moses was up the mountain receiving the ten commandments, was none other than Baal (Exodus 32:1-4). This principality Baal or god of 1,000 faces may have been also named other names. Baal (Sun god):  Bel, Apollo, Zeus, Marduk, Ahura-Mazda, Osiris, Tammuz, Dagon, Prometheus, Jupiter, Nimrod, Mithra (*Another Jesus” and “The Anti-Christ”), Ra, Lucetius, Dyaus, Dionysus, Hermes, Adonis, Pan, Hades, Eros, Uranus, Gaea, Assur, Merodach, Ninus, Shamas, Zeus-Belus, Bacchus etc.

 

Now the Hebrew word Baal means “husband” or “marriage.”  This spirit always attempted to cause Israel to “divorce” or break covenant with God and “marry’ or align with him.  Consistent with this, in so many ways today the Christian judo nations have broken covenant with God and married Baal.  This, is, I believe, the strongman behind most covenant-breaking today. Baal is the strongman behind sexual perversion. Homosexuality was and is one of his big strongholds.  I believe all of the sexual sin and perversion in the world is, to one degree or another, under Baal’s orchestration.  You will continue to see God expose leaders in the church who aligned themselves with this spirit. Pray for the church to be cleansed and for Baal’s hold on the nations in this area to be broken.

 

Baal is a violent spirit and even required human sacrifice. Abortion is under Baal, as is the “cutting” of today’s young generation (see 1 Kings 18:28), occultic gangs, the vampire and goth movement, transgender and the death culture in general that has so invaded the younger generation today.  Baal is leading the fight to avert the move of the Holy Spirit, so we must pray against the enemy’s works and bind these efforts. Witchcraft and occult spirits in general operate under Baal and so does Jezebel. Now I will warn you that todays teaching many have a lot of content, but even if you break it up in stages for today to reflect on each subject.

 

CHARACTERISTICS OF BAAL IN THE NATIONS:

 

So, if Baal is making a push for control more each year, then how would he do it today in the government sector? We can maybe see this in some of things we are seeing being played out in the last three years.

 

The body of Christ in general needs a major wakeup call at this present time, precious saints! Too many are under mass mind control of the devils’ narratives and cannot see the deception within this hour that has crept into the church. The mainstream media is spewing lies daily to the masses and many are just buying into the strait out propaganda, rather than being free thinkers and asking the Holy Spirit for discernment of what is truly happening behind the scenes in foot shortages, plandemics, wars and so forth. We also have the 5g towers, weather manipulation, food, wood and chemtrail poisoning etc. Scientist have let us know the contents of aluminium, strontium, manganese in the chemtrails alone. These metals are inhaled or absorbed along with nanotech, saturating the body until it becomes a walking lithium battery. These metals are positively charged. Manganese oxide produces a fungal infection within the body.

 

What was once labelled as a conspiracy with many of these things, has become true and the biggest truth today for us as a Christian is we are living in the last of, "The Last Days." We are at the doorstep of the "End of The Age." And whether the rapture happens tomorrow or next year we must stay alert, for Jesus commanded us to keep watch in (Matthew 24:42-44), less the Son of Man comes as a thief in the night. So even control and weather manipulation fall directly under the control of Baal, just as it was in ancient Israel.

 

We see this belief about Baal at play in the prophet Elijah’s run in with the 450 prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel (1 Kings 18:20-40). Israel was in the midst of a multi-year drought that God had brought on the country due to its fall into sin under the evil King Ahab and his wife Jezebel (1 Kings 18:1-2).

 

In his battle to win the hearts of the people back to Jehovah, Elijah challenged the 450 prophets of Baal to a contest. They would create an altar and see if Baal or Jehovah could set it on fire without human help. Whoever did this was the true God. Elijah understood that Jehovah was the God who controlled weather, not some idol (Psalm 68).

 

Now as you know the story, the prophets of Baal went first and danced, prophesied, shouted, and called out to Baal to set fire to the altar. However, as the day dragged on and nothing happened, they became more desperate and began to cut themselves with knives, causing blood to spill, to entice Baal to act (1 Kings 18:28-29), but it didn’t happen. And finally, then Elijah doused the altar with water called on God and a fire consumed the altar and sacrifice. So is this characteristic of Baal manifesting in the end times, absolutely and in fact we are in the end times precious saints.

 

So, with so much deception happening all around us today in the nations, one must be unmoveable in the faith God has given us with His promises and be alert for the enemy’s lies. The Apostle Paul spoke to the Philippian Church to “Stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you.” (Philippians 1:27-28)

 

HUMAN TRAFFICKING EXPOSED

 

Many people believe slavery ended over a century ago. Although slavery is no longer legal, or socially accepted, it never ended. Slavery doesn’t look the same as it did during the 300 years of transatlantic slave trade. Indeed, slavery has taken on a new face.

 

Everyone should be free. And yet, through force, fraud, and coercion, human traffickers violate this most basic right. Traffickers’ exploitative practices affect every country in the world, including the United States, by diminishing and destroying our communities, sense of security, and the global economy.

 

The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates there are 24.9 million victims of human trafficking around the world. Of those 20.1 million are labour trafficking victims. Another 4.8 million are sex trafficking victims. 3.8 million victims were adults, and 1 million were children. Globally, 99% of victims were women and girls.

 

So, it is time for us all to take up the cause of human trafficking. With prayer and faith-inspired action, we can make a difference saints across the world. Through greed (idolatry), violence, and sexual immorality in many nations we need to pray these strongholds start coming down and all these victims are found and saved in all our nations, for this is a global problem.

 

So, though we are living in frightening times, we must continue to stand strong, occupy and not compromise with the gospel. Even when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Holy Spirit will raise the standard against the enemy. So, no matter what we are facing today let us face these troubles in a way that is consistent with Jesus’s example, who willingly suffered rather than lash out in anger or cower in fear. God still has good plans for us, but we also must know that seasons have changed, and we must be vigilant.

 

PLANNED FOOD SHORTAGES IN THE NATIONS:

 

For those that have seen within their supermarkets (grocery stores) and restaurants, there seems to be signs of a food shortage, due to supply issues. We have seen the price of fuel skyrocket and blaming everything, but the truth. We have already seen cargo ships being hindered to unload on the port’s docks for one reason or another. This is all part of the master plan of the elites to bring about a food shortage across the globe and potentially start a food war. It's a plan of Davos-deluded billionaires, big banks, mega-corporations, media oligarchs to collapse the entire economic & social order, replacing it with a new digital ID system of iron-clad control over every facet of our lives. This is also an example of Baal control on the nations at present.  

 

So, below is some general advice to stock up a little on non-perishable food, water, and medical supplies if you can afford to do so. Remember we are doing this out of wisdom and not out of fear. Now the truth is despite of how it may seem today, they are already planning food shortages even before the rapture and the enemy’s plans we can see are already happening. Now God is still sovereign and is allowing everything to happen to bring about His perfect will. Remember those that are left behind would also benefit from whatever supplies you are able to save and store, especially your loved ones. So here is an example advice you could give to someone left behind: 

 

Food/Water Supplies & General Survival Tips During the Tribulation Period:

So even for those present prior to the rapture, we can help those in the future that are left behind. For everyone one that is left behind food, water & medical supplies will be very important, because the panic buying at empty shelf grocery stores in the future. It would be best to stock up on heaps of bottled water. Bottled water has an estimated shelf life of around 2-4 years. Buying canned food such as canned juices, meats (tuna, chicken, ham), vegetables, soups, and fruits will also be handy to stock up on. Most canned goods have a shelf life of around 2-3 years. You will also need to stock up on basic medical supplies and any other type of medication you may need. Other Important things would be your Bible (mandatory), shelter, cell phone, warm clothing, sleeping bag, tent, torch/flashlight, hunting knife & waterproof matches. If you have any family members or friends that have also missed the rapture, it would be best to keep in close contact with them and stay together in a group, rather than being by yourself during the tribulation period. It would be wise to take out a lot of your money or personal savings out of the bank and keep it in a safe place. The antichrist & false prophet will eventually control the whole financial & banking system during the tribulation, so I wouldn’t be putting my trust in the banks during this time. Just remember that you may only get a chance to buy these supplies during the first three and a half years of the tribulation. In the second half of the tribulation the Antichrist & False Prophet will introduce the “Mark of the Beast” which I have done teachings about. During the second half of the tribulation period, the only way you can buy or sell something is if you take the “Mark of the beast”, but DO NOT take this mark!! If you take this mark, you will go to Hell!

 

THE RAPTURE IS IMMINENT:

 

Saints Now with the Tribulation period fast approaching, we need to set our houses in order before the rapture of the remnant bride of Christ. Why are we told to look for that ‘Blessed Hope’? What is so ‘blessed,’ and why should our ‘hope’ be in it? I’ll tell you why, because it is an event where the Lord will remove Christians that are truly His before the coming judgement of God on this Christ-rejecting world. Once the rapture takes place, this world will change dramatically and if you thought things were bad now, then you really do not want to be left behind. See if I knew we were to be left behind I would be preaching in tears, knowing what is about to happen.

 

There is no other better time not than to remind your loved ones of what is to come and to not to take the mark of the beast and worship the Antichrist. So, utilise this time to make things right with God and with man if there is any hidden offence that you either need to make right or forgive from the heart. Though the tribulation will be a horrific time on earth where evil will increase and control amplified to the worse levels in history, there is a place far worse than the tribulation period, and that place is called Hell. For it is a place of burning, weeping, and agonising pain that will never end throughout all eternity (Luke 16:19-31). Don’t make that mistake and end up in a burning hell but come to the Lord Jesus Christ today.

 

THE PROPHECIED WARS THAT ARE AHEAD:

 

As I look at all the current world events today all I see are the signs we are getting closer to the tribulation. But before that happens, I believe that the trigger for the antichrist to come on the scene (Daniel 9:27) will be the Ezekiel 38 & 39 war and I think most would agree. This Battle of Gog & Magog, which is described in (Ezekiel 38-39) will take place around this time before the tribulation period. Now the gap between the rapture and the start of the seven-year tribulation, does not have to be immediate, but it could be a time of trouble of months or years. This battle will be led by Russia and an Islamic Coalition consisting of Iran, Turkey, Ethiopia, Sudan & Libya etc who will come down and try to attack Israel. I do not believe that Putin is the antichrist, but he will be used as Gog in the Ezekiel 38-39 war. See the antichrist will put a stop to the death and destruction that will come from the aftermath of this war (Ezekiel 38-39) and he will confirm a peace covenant. He will have a solution for the Ezekiel war. But even before the Ezekiel war happens even other events can happen first and will happen very fast as a matter of fact. Now one event that we should keep our eyes open for is the Isaiah 17 prophecy of the destruction of Damascus, along with the Jeremiah 49 prophecy of the destruction of Elam. Now another also is the complete fulfilment of the Psalm 83 prophecy also. The reason I believe Psalm 83 is closer today to being fulfilled is because of the motivation. See the tribes and nations that attack Israel in Psalm 83 are those directly surrounding them whom have pure evil hatred intent. Where with the Gog and Magog war it is an alliance of tribes and nations that are further away who are motivated to steal the spoil from this war and not just hatred.

 

THE PROPHECY OF ELAM (JEREMIAH 49):

 

Now coming back to the Jeremiah 49:34-39 prophecy, if Israel uses its forces to fulfil these events, then this might be the trigger for the Ezekiel 38 &39 attack on Israel. The Isaiah 17 event is overnight according to the scriptures it tells us and as for the Elam attack in Iran, I don't believe that will be more than a day or two. Jeremiah issued his prophecies concerning Elam about 596 B.C. Jeremiah wrote about Elam about a decade before his contemporary Ezekiel prophesied about Persia in Ezekiel 38:5. Ezekiel’s ministry spanned between 595–573 B.C. Modern-day Iran is comprised of ancient Elam and Persia. Ezekiel was familiar with Elam, according to Ezekiel 32:24–25, but he did not include Elam in the line-up of invaders in Ezekiel 38. Elam was probably intentionally omitted, because it is the subject of its own distinctly different prophecy, outlined by Jeremiah.

 

The area of Elam is one-tenth of modern-day Iran, being located between the Persian Gulf. The Iranian nuclear reactor is located today in the southern portion of this precise area at Bushehr, on the coast of the Persian Gulf. The destruction of Elam is imminent and is most likely to occur before the fulfilment of the war described in Psalm 83. There is a possibility that Israel might militarily strike the Bushehr reactor, which, in turn, would trigger the Psalm 83 war in which all the nations with a common border with Israel will unite and attack Israel with the purpose of annihilating the Jewish state. Jeremiah informs us that the attack upon the ancient territory of Elam will produce numerous refugees, perhaps even turning into a humanitarian crisis. Exiles will be dispersed worldwide, as if being blown about by overpowering winds. Additionally, Jeremiah says that Elam has stirred up the Lord’s anger, and that provokes the Lord to cause a severe disaster inside of Iran. Gods fierce anger” will be focused on the area of Elam because Iran is using that area to develop a nuclear weapon which it has declared that it will use to destroy the Jewish state. Now all other conflicts with Russia and China against NATO forces and a potential World War 3, can happen first even before these take place.

 

REPENTANCE REVIVAL IS NOW:

 

So yes, the rapture has never been closer, and it is necessary to be ready always for the prophetic glorious Rapture, but I believe our time for revival is now for the remnant elect that the Lord is preparing to be spotless for the Wedding Feast of the Lamb. I believe that Repentance Revival is already sparked and is going to spread throughout the nations, with one of the most evident signs that will be the fruits of people’s repentance.

 

We need this revival for people to open their spiritual eyes and see how deception has crept into every area of society. The truth is, our money is NOT going to save us, our religious routines are NOT going to save us. The government is NOT going to save us, your president/prime minister cannot save you (or anyone else for that matter), your pastor is NOT going to save you, your mama and daddy is NOT going to save you! Only Jesus Christ (Yeshua), knowing Him, waiting for His appearance, and enduring until the end is going to save you precious saints! Precious saints: The Rapture is real! The Antichrist is alive! War is coming! Time is running out! It is time to rearrange our life’s, while there is yet still time. It is time for Revival in the nations now, as Jesus WILL soon return. Are you ready? So, no matter what the future holds, Jesus is alive saints, and He is still healing today, He is still delivering and is still sitting on the throne!

 

Prayer to remove Wicked Workers:

 

Heavenly Father in the mighty name of Your Son Jesus Christ, we come boldly to Your mercy seat through the blood of Your Son. Today we ask that You arise and cause all wilful workers of wickedness that are operating around us either in our families, in our churches, in our cities or in our nations to be removed from all positions of power, prominence, prestige in Jesus mighty name!

 

May all those operating under demonic powers be rendered powerless and all seats of power destroyed this day in Jesus Mighty Name! Father open the eyes of all those still being deceived by such wicked workers and replace all those wicked workers with righteous people who only stand for righteousness In Jesus Mighty Name!

 

Yes, those who will work for Your righteous cause and who will stand in high places in our churches, cities, and nations from anything from government officials to any influence in our communities in Jesus Mighty Name!

 

Lord, we pray that you would pull down all mandates, so that your gospel can be preached to the nations without any restrictions or troubles in Jesus Mighty Name!

 

Lord as it is declared, may it be established today in Jesus Mighty Name!

Amen 

 

Prayers to End and Expose Human Trafficking:

Heavenly Father, We stand united in our unwavering resolve to end the scourge of modern-day slavery. Our hearts ache for the countless victims who suffer daily. We pray fervently for the complete eradication of human trafficking from the face of the Earth. May every victim be set free, and may every trafficker face the consequences of their heinous actions. Grant us, your faithful servants, the strength and determination to tirelessly fight against this injustice until it is completely obliterated from our world.

I pray that You would set up godly men and women in positions of leadership and power in all our own nations and in all the nations who exercise authority in our world today. Lord many are confused, hurt, angry and are seeking for answers. Lord, I pray that they may encounter you Lord to receive true hope as you are the hope of all nations.

 

Thank You for those leaders that are prepared to stand up for truth and righteousness. Give them boldness to challenge those who want to remove the principles of freedom and tolerance and establish the flawed principles that come from human wisdom. Your word says that righteousness exalts a nation, so Lord I pray that you would send your Holy Spirit to convict us of sin in a deeper way that you would lead us in righteous ways.

 

Lord, I pray that You would guide the leaders of many nations to repent of their sins and turn to the path of peace that only comes from You.

Have mercy Lord. Have mercy on all the leaders of nations who do not know You. I pray that many will be saved by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, in Jesus Mighty Name!

Amen.

 

PRAY FOR PEACE IN ALL NATIONS

 

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Micah 4:3 “They will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks.”

 

Nation will not take up sword against nation, a nation will not be divided by civil unrest, nor will it be deceived by deception, by those that have interior motives to bring it to destruction for political purposes at the cost of others’ lives.

 

2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

 

The healing of every nation is always linked to several things, the people of God praying, humbling themselves, seeking God’s face, and repenting on behalf of their sins, their forefather’s sin and the sins of the nation/s, then the Lord has promised that He will hear from heaven and will heal the land and nation we are directing the prayer. But note we don’t get the healing without our obedient response to all that the Lord calls for in this passage. Let us begin by getting down on our knees and crying out to the Lord today!

 

PARYER FOCUS DAY 4

 

Pray For Peace Within Our Nations:

 

Dear Heavenly Father in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ we come before you this day. You are the sovereign ruler, the mover of mountains, the victor of impossible victories. You are Lord over earthquakes and tsunamis, over nations in turmoil, civil unrest and terrorist plots, over starving children and fleeing refugees and prisoners tortured for their faith. You speckled the sky with stars and set the earth spinning like a top. You own everything, control everything. Your hand allows each mind to think and teaches each heart to beat. There is nothing you can’t do. So, I pray, even though it seems impossible:

 

Bring an end to violence and hatred and racism and discord and riots. Steady the feet that rush into war and the finger poised on the trigger. Bring justice to the downtrodden, restoration to the marginalized and abused, hope to the hopeless. Guide all those in positions of power—whether that power is political or physical or social—and give them wisdom to use their power wisely. Give them, and all of us, the grace to admit when we are wrong and to seek forgiveness. Give us the grace to forgive.

 

Help us see your face in the faces of the people around us. Give us courage to love one another even when love seems like a risk. Give us compassion for those who are unlike us. Teach us to listen to those we disagree with, to hear stories that make us uncomfortable. Heal the hatred in the world around us by healing our own hearts first. Lord make us your peace makers that we may be your instrument of peace upon the earth and shine your light in the darkest of places in Jesus Mighty Name!

Amen

 

Prayer for Healing with our Nations:

 

Dear Heavenly Father in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ we come before you this day. We thank you for your great power and we praise you for your Truth. We are grateful that you have set us free from the clutching grasp of sin and death. May you grant your people and the people of all nations your healing, grace, and freedom today in Jesus Mighty Name! Lord, may you continue providing your protection and empowering your church with your strength to pray at this hour. We ask that You bring about an awakening of your presence never seen before upon the nations, as we are crying out for revival. We ask that your Name be proclaimed, that all plans to silence the Name of Jesus would be thwarted and crushed in Jesus Mighty Name! We pray that many would come to know you as Lord and Saviour, we pray that many would see your Light, that you would open blind eyes and release those still imprisoned spiritually by the enemy.

 

Help us to put aside our own feelings that may be jumbled and confused now, so that we may be in service of others, our families and friends, neighbours and around the world. Help us remember Your high calling to us to be agents of forgiveness and reconciliation, love and peace, healing and hope in a world made dark by fear and hatred and brokenness. Help us to rebuild this nation by seeking out your image in the face of others, finding the best in us to serve those who are the least, the lost and the lonely. Help us to remember that perfect love casts out fear. Help us to perfect our love for others so that they may know we are Christians by our love.

 

We pray that you would unify your people, for the glory of your Name’s sake. We pray for your great healing on our land. Shine your face on us dear God. We need you now, more than ever before. Our times are in your hands. Thank you that you are rich in mercy and full of grace. Thank you that you are forgiving and merciful. Thank you that you are strong and mighty. Thank you that you are for us and that you fight for us still today. Bring honour to your Name, Oh Lord, for You alone are worthy in Jesus Mighty name!

Amen

 

DAY 5 THEME: “CHRISTS RETURN REVEALED”

 

DATE: MONDAY 7TH OF OCTOBER 2024

 

SCRIPTURE TEXT: Matthew 24:40-44 “Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what [a]hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what [b]hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

 

Can anyone be sure when Jesus is coming again? When Sir Isaac Newton was asked if he thought Christ would return in his lifetime, he said he didn't believe it because all the prophecies had not been fulfilled. Someone asked Charles Spurgeon if he believed Christ would return in his lifetime, and he said no. He believed there were still prophecies which had to be fulfilled. Since then, these prophecies have been fulfilled. Because of this, when someone came to me with this question, I told them Christ certainly could return any day in our lifetime and not only could, but He would. The Spirit of the Lord showed me that just like Simeon (Luke 2:25-27) this generation shall not see death until the messiah returns. All I know is that is He is coming – soon and we must be ready for that day.

 

“Every day we’re a weak closer to the Rapture.” This is something my wife loves to say because it helps us keep eternity in perspective. With all the events going on in our world today precious saints, we would also do well to keep eternity in perspective.

 

Here are just some eleven reasons why I know this is true:

 

1. Travel - Modern transportation allows us to travel thousands of miles in a very short time. The Book of Daniel predicted this (Daniel 12:4).

 

2. Knowledge - The Book of Daniel also predicts the increase of knowledge we are seeing today with the Internet and technology such as artificial (DEMONIC) intelligence, nanotechnology and neuralink technology etc.

 

3. The invention of the atomic bomb and many much more modern lethal weapons today that are nuclear - In Zechariah 14:12, God prophesied He would bring a plague upon Israel's enemies which exactly matches the effects of radiation from the atomic bomb or much more advanced technology. Now we see how this is possible from not the only past, but much more with advanced technology.

 

4. The Jews' return to the land of Israel - In Jeremiah 4:5, God said Israel would be gathered as a nation. This happened in 1948.

 

5. God's support of Israel (Romans 11:1) - The Bible says God has not forsaken Israel. He has preserved this nation until now, and He will continue to do this until Jesus returns (Zechariah 12:8-10). See the whole purpose of the Tribulation is to bring Israel back to God and receive the promised Messiah in whom they rejected.

 

6. The cashless society (Revelation 13:16–18) – With what we are seeing with the jab being mandated around the world and word of a new electronic currency it is becoming more a reality. Not to mention hackers stealing credit card information from major retailers, the idea of having people take a mark to do all buying and selling doesn’t sound so farfetched.

 

7. Earthquakes, floods, volcano eruptions, cyclones, typhoons etc.., Jesus described frequent earthquakes and calamities as a part of the “beginning of sorrows.” (Matthew 24:7–8) Check the news, and you’ll see earthquakes alone have been occurring more often. Even as we are praying for the USA and the recent Hurricanes.

 

8. TV– Events in Jerusalem during the Tribulation will be seen by the entire world (Revelation 11:9). Television and Internet social media have made this possible today.

 

9. One-world government – The nations of the world will come together to form a single government according to Revelation 12:3. The United Nations and the European Union are steps which have been taken in this direction. We see the elite are pushing this and have been controlling things like a puppet for some time to bring this to pass. The have an agenda for each nation and know each nations weakness and will manipulate whatever and whoever to see things of this nature come to pass.

 

10. One-world religion – The Bible predicts all the religions of the world will combine into one religion during the Tribulation (Revelation 13:12). The new ecumenical movement is fulfilling this prophecy by uniting Protestants, Jews, Catholics, Muslims, and people of other faiths together.

 

This is an exciting time to be a Christian. We might not know the day or the hour of Christ's return, but we do know it's going to be soon. As Jesus told His disciples, we need to be watching for His return. We ought to make the most of every opportunity to tell others how they can be saved. And we should be living pure and holy lives so we're not ashamed when Jesus comes.

 

The Bible is literally being fulfilled before our eyes. That makes me more excited than ever about seeing my Savior. If we keep eternity in perspective, then we won’t worry as much about things we lack here on Earth. We will see the spiritual significance of life’s heartbreaks, brokenness, losses, and trials (although we may not realize this until after we have endured them). We will resist temptation because we want Christ to find us pure and blameless at His return. An eternal perspective will help us choose what is best over what may seem to be good. Are you ready to meet Jesus? He’s coming sooner than you might think precious saints.

 

There are two major events that all Christians are waiting for. The first being the rapture of the bride, which is the remnant body of Christ that have made their garments ready for The Wedding Feast of The Lamb. The second being the second coming of Christ in the clouds. We see from the two scriptures below that it clearly distinguishes the two separate events. The first only the saints will see with those Christians being left behind shamefully and the second coming, in which every eye shall see.

 

1. Rapture:

Revelation 16:15 “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.”

 

2. Second Coming:

Revelation 1:7 “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.”

 

The foundation of our preparation for the return of the master is repentance. Without repentance there cannot be any salvation and without salvation there cannot be rapture.

 

The rapture of the church will happen 7 years before the second coming of Jesus. God's children are being warned about the rapture right now by His true prophets, but just like in the times of Noah people refused to hear the warnings.

 

Luke 17:25-26 “But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man”.

 

His holy blameless, righteous bride will know right before it happens, as they will see the times, understand the season, and hear the trumpet call as according to the last trumpet in 1 Cor 15:52.

 

The world cannot hear God's voice and therefore does not hear the warning. The world will not know when the second coming will happen either, but they surely will see Him on that day, as I discussed in yesterday’s teaching in revelation 1:7.

 

The world has already approached a tremendous crisis in its history. A great many things that are happening in the world today are an indication to the students of prophecy that this DISPENSATION of the Grace of God is rapidly approaching the end. We see much corruption & wickedness today, where evil has become good and good has become evil.

 

We see and hear much about the increase in juvenile delinquency and crimes among children. Disobedience to parents is also widespread. Many parents are seeking to gratify their own selfish ambitions outside the home; allowing their children to drift into various evils. Never have we heard of so many hideous crimes as today in society. The wickedness of man is great in the earth. The earth is corrupt before God and filled with violence, just as it was in the time of Noah before the flood. (Genesis 6:6-11).

 

The time is ripe for the judgment of God to fall on the earth once more: the wickedness, corruption, lust, violence, crime, disorder, vice, and ungodliness. Surely the greatest wrath of God is hanging over us in the skies awaiting at the appointed time of God. We see that the earth groans and labours together with birth pangs (Romans 8:22) have taken place all over the earth with earthquakes, floods, cyclones, volcano eruptions and every natural disaster happening more frequently.

 

The rapture is not the second coming of Jesus and is not the end of the world, but it will be the beginning of seven years of tribulation for those left behind!! The rapture is just God removing His bride to a place of safety while His wrath is being poured out upon the sinful and unbelievers who remain here on earth. Everything we see happening around us today is just a preview of what is coming in the Tribulation. Just as both Moses and Joseph both were rejected by their people, they both married gentile brides. And so when Jesus came to Israel they rejected Him, so the Father gave Him a future gentile bride to be married at the Wedding Feast of the Lamb.  

 

Anyone who has not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and those Christians not living a holy sanctified life set apart from this world WILL NOT be raptured. The bible says even the devils believe and they tremble before God (See James 2:19), but many Christians do not fear the Lord.

 

Jesus will not allow His bride to get beaten before the rapture but will save her from the wrath to come.

 

1 Thessalonians 5:9 “For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,”

 

Those that are left behind are going to experience the wrath of God. The wrath of God will be the consequence to those who have rejected Jesus Christ and God's way of doing things. Some religions do not believe in a rapture and some religions do not believe in a Hell. There is a Hell and even though God loves us all, there are consequences to sin and rejecting Jesus Christ as Saviour. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins, He rose from the dead and He now lives in Heaven giving us access to God. JESUS IS ALIVE AND OUR ONLY ACCESS TO THE ONE TRUE GOD!

 

Just because some people and denominations do not believe in the rapture, does not mean it is not going to happen. The rapture is going to happen whether people believe or not. He knows how to protect the righteous and punish only those who deserve it. The word “rapture” is a Greek word that means “caught up”. This is found in the book of Thessalonians as mentioned. Also, the Bible is very clear that the tribulation is a time when God releases His wrath upon the earth, and God's children escape His wrath, so we will not be here. The rapture happens before the tribulation begins. The only thing that is holding the evil from taking us into the tribulation is the Holy Spirit that is only here while the Church is still around.

 

2 Thessalonians 2:7 “For the [a]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.”

 

This is called the age of grace and once the true bride is raptured, you really don’t want to have to be a tribulation saint, as you will all have to refuse the mark of the beast, except Christ and pay with your lives. (See Revelations 13:6)”

 

God is now giving His last warning to every man and woman, boy and girl, irresponsible parents and disobedient children, thieves, murderers, homosexuals, fornicators, drunkards, idolatry, and all unbelievers, by saying that the great day of His Wrath will come very soon and who shall be able to stand? (See Revelation 6:17

 

Therefore, anyone reading this that is not in right standing with God, Repent! And flee from the great wrath of God, now at our doors and soon to enter every ungodly home, by getting into the LIFEBOAT right now through sincere repentance, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.

 

Surely, we are within a stone’s throw of the Rapture of His church which will commence His wrath and the judgment day. “I tell you, Nay, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3.

 

God is “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9. Jesus is coming soon! Are you ready? Repent or perish. “Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.” Luke 12:40.

 

Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

 

This scripture above is talking about the system of the world the system of doing things on the earth. This system is developed and governed by Satan through the satanic agent on earth, such as government, religious body, various groups, and traditions, etc. This system contradicts the way of the Lord. That is why the word of God describe them as enmity against God and regarded them as the lust of eyes, lust of flesh and pride of life

 

Satan created this system in other to control our mind, our free will, and our body through the attacks of lust. These three areas of our lives are battle ground between God and Satan. Brethren, it is very important for us as children of God to break any relationship we are having with the world. God will help us, in Jesus name!

 

There are four things that make repentance to be completed. These are the following below:

 

1. Being remorseful of your sins

 

2. Confession of your sins

 

3. Asking God for forgiveness of those sins you confessed

 

4. Forsaking those sins.

DAY 6 THEME: “PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE AND THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS”

 

DATE: TUESDAY 8TH OF OCTOBER 2024

 

SCRIPTURE TEXT: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”

 

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 “Behold, I tell you a [a]mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

 

The rapture is the sudden, supernatural removal of all children of God that have made themselves ready to be snatched from earth to heaven. At the rapture, Jesus Christ will appear in the eastern sky and call His wise bride up to Heaven, leaving all the foolish Christians, those that are still in sin and unbelievers behind. It will happen in two stages the first being all the dead in Christ (saints) pre-rapture will rise from their graves in their glorified bodies and the second stage will be that all the true believers that are alive will then go up to be with Him on the clouds. (See 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)

 

Though Jesus will not set foot on the Earth at the rapture. He will just appear in the Eastern sky and call all His wise bride home to Heaven that have pure white garments. The rapture is a wonderful thing for Christians. The rapture will be yet another very gracious act of God's love toward His children. God loves His children so much that He will remove us from this wicked world to a safe place in Heaven before His wrath is released upon the Earth. See God will not allow the beast to devourer His saints and will remove them, so they may go with Him to the wedding feast of the Lamb.

 

Revelations 19:7 “Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”

 

The supernatural removal of godly individuals from earth is not unknown in Scripture i.e.. Enoch, who bypassed death.

 

Genesis 5:21-24 “Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah. 22 After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. 23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.”

 

Hebrews 11:5 “By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.”

 

It is consistent with God's dealings with His people in the Old Testament to believe that the Church will be removed from the world before the Great Tribulation. God did not send the Flood until Noah and his family were safe in the ark. He did not destroy Sodom until Lot was taken out. 

 

WHY DO SOME OPPOSE THE PRE-TRIBULATION TEACHINGS?

 

It is a common thought by those who oppose the pre-tribulation rapture theology that it originated with John Nelson Darby (1800-1882), but you will see that is a lie and not true. In actual fact because of their poor understanding of hermeneutics which is the study of interpretation of scripture many come up with a replacement theology. See those that study eschatology (study of end-times), many are looking for the Antichrist more than they are of Jesus return. But when you get a solid foundation in ecclesiology (study of the church) you will see what is the churches purposes oppose to Israel’s separate purpose of going through the tribulation for them to receive their promised Messiah as a nation and people as a whole. Now below you will hear three major arguments opposing a pre-tribulation rapture. These examples below are what I see mentioned a lot, or they just copy and paste their study on why it is wrong. Now with each of the below three common remakes, I will quickly refute each below with scripture for each scoffing remark.

 

3 TYPES OF SCOFFING ABOUT THE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE

 

1. PRE-TRIB RAPTURE IS JUST CHRISTIAN ESCAPISM

  

Luke 21:36 “Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man”

 

Notice: “ESCAPE ALL”

 

2. GOD'S PEOPLE NEED TO BE ROUGHED UP BEFORE THEY GET TO SPEND ETERNITY WITH JESUS

 

Genesis 18:23-25 “And Abraham came near and said, “Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24 Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it? 25 Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

 

Notice: “WOULD YOU ALSO DESTROY THE RIGHTEOUS WITH THE WICKED?”

 

Will you be inside the Ark...... or on the outside? Mid Trib, Post Trib and Pre-wrath believe God is going to leave them on the outside. (left behind during the tribulation) Because their way of thinking is like God putting Noah and his family in the Ark AFTER the Flood has started half way or when it’s too late and it is Completely over!

 

Or it is like God taking Lot and his family just outside the City AFTER the judgment fire has been raining down already or after the destruction is already over!

 

1 Thessalonians 1:10 “ Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.”

 

Remember, God put Noah and his family inside the Ark BEFORE it started raining. Why because His children are Never appointed to His wrath.

 

God took Lot and his family outside the city BEFORE His Wrath by Fire came down.

 

Romans 5:9 “Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.”

 

3. NO SUCH THINGS AS A SECRET RAPTURE

 

1 Corinthians 15:52 “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

 

Notice: “IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE”

 

Precious saints the twinkling of an eye is faster than someone can blink! So, the rapture happens so fast in the twinkling of an eye, that no one will see it and the wicked won’t even understand it that day when it happens.

 

Now many that oppose the pre-tribulation rapture are not unsaved, but the devil is using many in this hour that once believed in this teaching and have fallen into apostacy. Why is this a problem because there is no urgency and imminency to the Lords soon coming. One thing as I study the early revival stories, I see reoccurring is that there is always a renewed fervency and urgency of the Lords soon return. This was the case with John Dowry in the 1830’s, the Holy Spirit was trying to bring urgency back to the church.

 

So do not let apostate teachers draw you away from preparing your garment, otherwise they will try to steal your crown.

 

Revelation 3:11 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.”

 

Notice: “NO ONE MAY TAKE YOUR CROWN”

 

What Crown you say?

 

2 Timothy 4:8 “Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.”

 

Notice: “CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS” “TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE LOVED HIS APPEARING.”

WHAT ARE THE CROWNS THAT THE 24 ELDER RAPTURED SAINTS ARE WEARING IN REVELATION CHAPTER 4?

 

Revelation 4:4 “Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.”

 

THEY HAD CROWNS OF GOLD ON THEIR HEADS

 

IN THE BIBLE THERE ARE 5 DIFFERENT CROWNS OF REWARD THAT CHRISTIANS CAN RECEIVE FOR SERVICE TO CHRIST.

 

1.) THE INCORRUPTIBLE CROWN: given for exercising self-control and striving to be the best you can be for the Lord as according to 1 Corinthians 9:25 “And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.”

 

2.) THE CROWN OF REJOICING: given for winning others to Christ as according to 1 Thessalonians 2:19 “For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?”

 

3.) THE CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS: given for loving and watching for Christ's appearing as according to 2 Timothy 4:8 “Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.”

 

4.) THE CROWN OF LIFE: given for enduring under trial as according to the below scriptures.

James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”

 

Revelation 2:10 “Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.”

 

5.) THE CROWN OF GLORY: given for zealously and faithfully shepherding the flock of the Church as according to 1 Peter 5:4 “and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.”

   

So many of these apostate teachers today are spreading the notion that the "Rapture" was condemned by the early church fathers and by the Apostles themselves. We will see also that this was a lie. Many say that they will die for Jesus when the time comes, but many are not even living for Him now when the spirit of Grace is with us.

 

So, the next time someone tries to tell you that the “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” is false or that it is only a new concept from 1830 is a lie precious saint. So today we are here to reinforce truth and debunk their lies, so you may prepare and enter without any confusion.

 

Luke 12:35-37 “Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; 36 and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.”

 

We must be found watching for the Lord’s return saints. But what is the reward for those watching you say? The Wedding Feast of the Lamb.

 

See those that believe in a Mid-Tribulation, Post-Tribulation or Pre-wrath Rapture are watching for the ANTICHRIST and the start of the Tribulation!!

 

When Jesus told us continually to watch for His appearing in the clouds and not for the Anti-Christ.  

 

So, this list may seem exhausting, but it is vital that you see how far the pre-tribulation doctrine goes back to and specifically those who preached a pre-tribulation rapture. See the Catholic Church outlawed it, for they had started a replacement theology of taking the place of Israel.

 

When will Christians be in the Jewish Temple Sacrificing Lambs for their sins, and when they see the Abomination of Desolation, they realize that the Antichrist is NOT their Messiah and so they Flee from him into the Mountains?


THE GREAT TRIBULATION

Mark 13:14 “So, when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in JUDEA Flee to the Mountains.

.

Jesus was speaking to the House of Israel........ It’s the Time of JACOBS trouble...Not the Church's

 

See there is no such thing as a post-tribulation rapture. For not one person that who is alive at the time of the second coming of Jesus is raptured.

 

That is right not one!!

 

For all those alive at the second coming are either killed in the Battle of Armageddon or they will enter the Millenium in Un-raptured bodies and will have children!

 

Those tribulation saints that have lost their lives or were beheaded by the Antichrist for their testimony of Jesus shall be with Jesus in the Millenium.

 

Revelation 20:4-5 “And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for [a]a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.”

 

The unsaved will spend 1000 years gnashing their teeth in Darkness and are not resurrected until the great white throne judgement.

 

This is how serious it is saints and that is why Satan fights so much to be a Bride of Christ left behind! If you are left behind God has counted you with the Wicked. So even if you are purified by the Fire of 7 years of Horrendous suffering, you can still be saved but you will suffer greatly and lose the opportunity to partake of the Wedding Feast of The Lamb. So, this is why Satan fights the Pre-Trib Rapture truth so strongly.

 

All the raptured saints in Revelation chapter four, will be following Jesus Back to earth on White Horses.

 

Zechariah 14:4-5 “And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west,……..5 ….. Thus the Lord my God will come, And all the saints with You.”

 

1 Thessalonians 3:13 “So that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.”


WHERE WILL THE HOLY SPIRIT BE DURING THE TRIBULATION?

2 Thessalonians 2:7 "For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way."


So even though the Spirit of Grace will now be poured out upon Isreal as according to Zacheriah 12:10 I believe the restrainer in 2 Thessalonians 2:7 is indeed the Holy Spirit—or the Holy Spirit working through the New Testament Remnant church. In our current age, one of the ministries of the Holy Spirit is the restraint of evil. But there is coming a time when the Spirit will no longer hold back the looming flood of lawlessness. I believe this will occur when the remnant spotless (bride) church is removed from the world at the rapture. After that time, the Antichrist’s path to power will be unobstructed, and God’s judgment can be unleashed on a rebellious world (see Revelation 6—16).


However, just because the (empowered Church) Spirit ceases to restrain the march of evil in the world does not mean He is absent. On the contrary, we believe that the Spirit will be present on the earth during the tribulation. We say this for several reasons:


• The Holy Spirit, being God, is omnipresent. He is everywhere at all times, so He must be in the world during the tribulation. There is no “Spirit-free zone” in the whole of creation.


• Salvation is the Spirit’s work in the human heart; without Him, no one is saved (see John 3:5–8). If the Spirit were not present during the tribulation, no one could be saved. But the fact is that many will be saved during the tribulation—a numberless throng will “come out of the great tribulation” (Revelation 7:14). So, the Spirit is obviously at work during that time.


• The Holy Spirit is the one who empowers Christian witnesses and makes their message effective (see Acts 1:8). During the tribulation, there will be plenty of preaching: “This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14). In order for the preaching during the tribulation to have any effect whatsoever, the Spirit must be involved.


• The tribulation will be a time of refining and restoration for Israel, a process that necessitates the Spirit. God promised Israel, “For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you. . . . You will be my people, and I will be your God” (Ezekiel 36:24–28).


During the tribulation, the Holy Spirit will modify His work to some extent—He will no longer inhibit evil to the degree He now does, and the result will be an unprecedented time of wickedness on earth. But the Spirit will not take a leave of absence. There will still be evangelists to empower and people to save, and that means the Spirit’s presence will still be required. But for those that have to endure this period will not be easy at all. So when people lightly say that they will die for Him, I say to them then it will be easy for you to live for Him now while the Spirit of Grace is upon the church now. So even though the Holy Spirit will still operate in no way will it be easy for people as they will have to pay with their lives.

 

Saints the “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” of the Church is “not” a new concept but was a teaching that came directly from the Apostles themselves. Now this list will begin “before” 1830” and turn all the way back to the 1st Century A.D, so you can be assured. Now feel free to look up each person listed below to see who each servant of God past was.

 

1) 1792 – Thomas Scott – he taught that the righteous will be carried to Heaven where they will be secure until the time of the judgment is over.

2) 1763 – James Macknight – he also taught that the righteous will be carried to heaven until the judgment is over with.

3) 1748 – John Gill (Commentary on the New Testament) – teaches of the imminent return of Christ, firstly in the Rapture, and then He will return again to judge the earth (Armageddon – The Second Coming).

4) 1744 – Morgan Edwards (founder of the Ivy League School, Brown University) wrote of his “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” beliefs.

5) 1738 – Phillip Doddridge (Commentary on the New Testament) teaches along the same lines of John Gill; a “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” perspective.

6) 1687 – Peter Jurieu – (“Approaching Deliverance of the Church”) Christ would return during the Rapture and take His saints to Heaven and later return at the Battle of Armageddon.

7) 1674 – 1748 – Isaac Watts (known as the Father of the English Hymn) wrote of his “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” belief. (As a side note, Isaac Watts was solely responsible for writing over 1,000 Christian hymns if I recall the numbers correctly. Study his life because it was truly a miraculous one by all definitions of the word).

8) 1674 – Thomas Collier – makes reference to the belief of the “Pre-Tribulation Rapture”.

9) 1532 – 1591 – Francisco Rivera wrote of his “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” of the Church beliefs

10)431 – 1500 – Any mention of Pre-Tribulation (Millennial) Rapture of the Church perspectives are outlawed by the Catholic Church and deemed heretical and punishable by death!!!

11)431 – The Council of Ephesus; the Catholic Church decrees and condemns Pre-Millennial views as heresy. Books and such are destroyed or altered.

 

THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS (APOSTOLIC FATHERS)

(i.e. prominent early Church Fathers) All the following wrote of the “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” of the Church:

12) 354 – 430 – Augustine, Bishop of North Africa

13) 306 – 373 – Ephraem of Nisibus

14) ? – 204 – Victorinus, Bishop of Petau

15) 200 – 258 – Cyprian of Carthage

16) 170 – 236 – Hippolytus of Rome

17) 150 – 272 – Apocalypse of Elijah (an Extra-Biblical book)

18) 120 – 202 – Irenaeus of Lyons (“Against Heresies”)

19) 35 – 108 - Ignatius of Antioch

20) 1st century AD – 101 - Pope Clement I

21) 69 – 155 - Polycarp of Smyrna

22) 100 – 165 - Justin Martyr

23) 150 – 215 - Clement of Alexandria

24) 160 – 225 - Tertullian

25) 185 – 254 - Origen

28) 329 – 389 - Gregory of Nazianzus

29) 347 – 430 - Jerome

30) 354 – 430 - Augustine of Hippo

As there is so many early Church fathers listed above, I have chosen four examples that explain the pre-tribulation to us strongly Irenaeus, Cyprian, and Ephraim.

31) 36 – 108 – Ignatius of Antioch, the Third Bishop and Patriarch of Antioch (who as a student of John the Apostle) – His “Letters of Extra-Biblical works are:

a. Letter to the Ephesians

b. Letter to the Magnesians

c. Letter to the Trallians

d. Letter to the Romans

e. Letter to the Philadelphians

f. Letter to the Smyrnaeans

g. Letter to Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna

 

32) ? – 99 A.D. – Clement of Rome, “Letter to the Corinthians” also known as “I Clement” (an Extra-Biblical book).

 

WHAT DID THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS BELIEVE ABOUT THE RAPTURE?

 

Patristics or patrology is the study of the early Christian writers known as the Church Fathers. The names derive from the combined forms of Latin pater and Greek patḗr (father). The period is generally considered to run from the end of New Testament times or end of the Apostolic Age. Now some may argue that not many taught about this with a great number of writings on the end times in general from the early centuries of the church. But there is no question that there was a belief in the Rapture among the church fathers and they taught it with strong language and scriptural support.

 

Also, the Apostolic Fathers were Christian theologians who lived in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, who are believed to have personally known some of the Twelve Apostles, or to have been significantly influenced by them. Their writings, though popular in Early Christianity, were ultimately not included in the canon of the New Testament once it reached its final form. Many of the writings derive from the same period and geographical location as other works of early Christian literature that did come to be part of the New Testament, and some of the writings found among the Apostolic Fathers seem to have been just as highly regarded as some of the writings that became the New Testament.

 

Just so you know Irenaeus was an eyewitness to Apostle John, (who wrote Revelation and was Jesus' "beloved disciple"). Irenaeus also was a disciple of Polycarp, who studied directly under the Apostle John.

 

THREE EARLY CHURCH TEACHING EXAMPLES

 

Irenaeus is best known for his five-volume treatise, "Against Heresies.". Irenaeus' end times teachings and writings supported a pre-tribulation rapture of the church. He verifies that the end times begin when Israel returns as a nation, which then sparks a series of prophecies to be fulfilled that will help us correctly interpret the rest of the prophecies. He verifies that the church, in general, will become apostate but the true church will be raptured before the tribulation begins. Then the antichrist will enforce a covenant for seven years. At the end of this seven years Jesus returns to begin the Millennial reign.

 

In "Against Heresies 5.29" Irenaeus writes: “Those nations however, who did not of themselves raise up their eyes unto heaven, nor returned thanks to their Maker, nor wished to behold the light of truth, but who were like blind mice concealed in the depths of ignorance, the word justly reckons “as waste water from a sink, and as the turning-weight of a balance — in fact, as nothing;”(1) so far useful and serviceable to the just, as stubble conduces towards the growth of the wheat, and its straw, by means of combustion, serves for working gold. And therefore, when in the end the Church shall be suddenly caught up from this, it is said, “There shall be tribulation such as has not been since the beginning, neither shall be.”(2) For this is the last contest of the righteous, in which, when they overcome they are crowned with incorruption.” Irenaeus is describing the church leaving the sinful world just before disaster strikes. During the tribulation years more will convert to Christianity and will "receive the incorruptible crown."

 

Cyprian (200 AD- 258 AD) was a Bishop of the Church in Carthage and helped the Church through the Roman Empire persecution. In his "Treatises of Cyprian" he wrote: “We who see that terrible things have begun, and know that still more terrible things are imminent, may regard it as the greatest advantage to depart from it as quickly as possible. Do you not give God thanks, do you not congratulate yourself, that by an early departure you are taken away, and delivered from the shipwrecks and disasters that are imminent? Let us greet the hence and assigns each of us to his own home, which snatches us hence, and sets us free from the snares of the world and restores us to paradise and the kingdom.” Cyprian encouraged the believing to rejoice that the church would be taken away before the disastrous tribulation.

 

Ephraim (306 AD - 373 AD) became the Bishop of Nisibis. One of his works, a sermon, "On the Last Times, the Antichrist, and the End of the World," has a compelling reverence to the rapture: “We ought to understand thoroughly therefore, my brothers, what is imminent or overhanging. Already there have been hunger and plagues, violent movements of nations and signs, which have been predicted by the Lord, they have already been fulfilled (consummated), and there is no other which remains, except the advent of the wicked one in the completion of the Roman kingdom. Why therefore are we occupied with worldly business, and why is our mind held fixed on the lusts of the world or on the anxieties of the ages? Why therefore do we not reject every care of worldly business, and why is our mind held fixed on the lusts of the world or on the anxieties of the ages? Why therefore do we not reject every care of earthly actions and prepare ourselves for the meeting of the Lord Christ, so that he may draw us from the confusion, which overwhelms all the world? Believe you me, dearest brother, because the coming (advent) of the Lord is nigh, believe you me, because the end of the world is at hand, believe me, because it is the very last time.

Or do you not believe unless you see with your eyes? See to it that this sentence be not fulfilled among you of the prophet who declares: “Woe to those who desire to see the day of the Lord!” For all the saints and elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins. And so, brothers most dear to me, it is the eleventh hour, and the end of the world comes to the harvest, and angels, armed and prepared, hold sickles in their hands, awaiting the empire of the Lord. And we think that the earth exists with blind infidelity, arriving at its downfall early. Commotions are brought forth, wars of diverse peoples and battles and incursions of the barbarians threaten, and our regions shall be desolated, and we neither become very much afraid of the report nor of the appearance, in order that we may at least do penance; because they hurl fear at us, and we do not wish to be changed, although we at least stand in need of penance for our actions!”

 

Ephraim expresses a strong warning of urgency and clearly states the saints and elect who are believers in Jesus Christ will be taken to the Lord before the Tribulation. He also identifies that the "Day of the Lord" and the end times Tribulation are the same event. He stresses that believers should turn away from this world and look to Heaven and work on pleasing God. He distinguishes the second coming of Christ from the rapture, placing the rapture before the tribulation to come. Although there are few writings left of the early Church fathers, it is clear they believed and taught an early rapture for the church before the end times "Day of the Lord/Great Tribulation." Rapture doctrine did in fact exist and was part of the early Christian beliefs since the days of the apostles.

 

OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS AND NEW TESTAMENT APOSTLES

 

Even the Old Testament prophets and New Testament apostles taught us about the Harpazo (Greek), Raptio (Latin), which means the snatching away, and is translated from Latin to English as Rapture.

 

• Paul or Luke talking about Enoch in Hebrews (Apostles)

• Moses in Deuteronomy (Prophet)

Solomon (Son of David)

• Isaiah (Prophet)

• Zephaniah (Prophet)

• Malachi (Prophet)

• Micah (Prophet)

• Mark & Luke (Apostles)

Paul in 2 Corinthians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Timothy (Apostle)

• Peter in 2 Peter (Apostle)

• John in Revelation (Last Apostle - John 21:22)

• Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior himself specifically in John 11:25-26

 

So, I am just showing you that this goes all the way back to the early church and it will elp et your minds focused on the imminency of the Lord’s return.

So grateful for your obedience to God's call! Your zeal is a tremendous blessing and so enriching. I live in Safety Harbor (thank you, Lord Jesus), Florida in the path of Milton. I praise the Lord God Almighty that I have no fear, and I pray all these real and metaphorical storms would draw all to Christ. My boys are safe with their dad in North Carolina. I welcome your prayers that the Lord's will be done and that His Kingdom come on earth, and that I may be as bold as you in answering HIS call in whatever way He sees fit. All Glory and honor to You, Lord Jesus. God bless you and your family!
