"While the earth remains,
seedtime and harvest ... shall not cease."
Genesis 8:22
____________________________________________________________

Did you know you’re on loan from Heaven to bring God’s will to earth?
Otherwise, after you got born again you would have immediately gone to Heaven.
 
Every born again Christian has an assignment to fulfill. You are an Ambassador for Christ.
 
So, what are you transferring from Heaven to earth?
What did Jesus pray would be done on earth?

 
The Power of a Seed
Let’s go back in history and lay down some tracks that we can follow to see what God’s Spirit is speaking to His people who pray.
 
Facts
Everything operates by “Seed.”
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth with His words. (Genesis 1:1)
God made man in His image and likeness. (Genesis 1:26)
God gave man, male and female, dominion over the earth. (Genesis 1:27)
Man became a speaking spirit. (Genesis 2:7)
Man disobeyed God. (Genesis 3:6)
While the earth remains there will be seedtime and harvest. (Genesis 8:22)
 
A virgin birthed the Son of God, Immanuel, God with us. (Matthew 1:23)
As many as received Him, He gave the right to be born of God. (John 1:12-13)
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
The new creation is born of incorruptible seed, the Word. (1 Peter 1:23)
With the heart one believes.
With the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:10)
By your words you’re justified or condemned. (Matthew 12:37)
 
Christ in you the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27)
The mystery of the Kingdom: “the sower sows the Word.” (Mark 4:10-20)
Seek first the Kingdom of God so all things will be added to you. (Matthew 6:33)
 
Your citizenship is in Heaven. (Colossians 3:20)
All authority in Heaven and earth has been given to Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:18)
 
Therefore …
Go, preach the gospel in all the world; make disciples, baptize, teach, cast out demons, lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. (Matthew 28:18-20 & Mark 16:15-18)
 
The Kingdom of God
Many books have been written about this important subject. Let’s try and just hit the high points.
 
The Kingdom of God resides within you.
The Kingdom of God is in operation in and through The Glorious Church, the Body of Christ. Jesus is the Head, filling all in all.
 
JESUS CHRIST — GOD’S SEED TO EARTH
“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.” John 12:24
 
“What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?
It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”
Luke 13:18-19
 
The Kingdom of God in Operation
Jesus went to a deserted place after His cousin John was beheaded by Herod. Later, the multitudes found Him. Moved with compassion, He began teaching them. The disciples being concerned about the people getting hungry, told Him to send them away. “You give them something to eat … how many loaves do you have?” They answered, “Five and two fish.”
 
After Jesus blessed and broke the loaves and fish He gave them to His disciples to distribute to the multitude. As the disciples obeyed, multiplication took place feeding the multitude with more left over. Here we see the supernatural realm dominating the natural five-sense realm.
 
One preacher gives an example of the Kingdom of God being like a glacier.
 
We only see the top portion of it, when in actuality the massive structure below the surface, that which is temporarily unseen, is far, far greater. If we flip the glacier over with its top point in the water, we would then view how gigantic the unseen portion really is.
 
“The Lord has established His throne in heaven,
And His kingdom rules over all.”
Psalm 103:19

 
“And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.” (Matthew 4:23-24)
 
“Yeah, but that was Jesus. He is God! He can do anything.”
 
You, dear Saint, do not know who you are in Christ. The Spirit of God dwells within you.
 
“… how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.” Acts 10:38
 
“But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.” Romans 8:11
 
The Church has been given authority to teach, to preach, to heal and to deliver.
"You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”

“For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.” (Hebrews 2:8-9)

JESUS IS LORD

OCTOBER 2016 — Whole lot of Shaking Going On
“Take heed that no one deceives you …
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars, See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”
(Matthew 24:4-7)
 
THE HOLY SPIRIT
“But the Helper,
the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in My name,
He will teach you all things,
and bring to your remembrance
all things that I said to you. 
Peace I leave with you,
My peace I give to you;
not as the world gives do I give to you.
 
“Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.”
(John 14:26-27)
 
HOW THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS ADMINISTERED UPON THE EARTH

It is God’s Spirit working through each member of His Church that brings the power of the cross to save and deliver suffering humanity. This is God’s will!
 
It is the Glorious Church that is bringing stability as the earth is being shaken.
 
Things are being shaken just as a farmer removes the tares from the wheat and then shakes the grains of wheat from the husks.
 
The Bible calls this threshing. The wheat was spread onto a floor made from stone, concrete or tamped earth and beat with a flail to remove the wheat. Next, the wheat was sifted to remove the chaff.
 
“Now this, ‘Yet once more,’ indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.” (Hebrews 12:25-29)
 
If Christ’s Spirit is in you, you cannot be shaken!
But take heed! Those born-again Christians who have embraced this world’s system and beliefs, well, there’s a whole lot of shaking in your future.
 
Closing Comments
What are you transferring from Heaven to earth? What is filling your heart?
 
Are you fearful of what will happen on November 8th?
Are you angry and hateful toward candidates who are ungodly?
What are you saying (seeds)?
How’s your prayer life?
 
Remember to walk in love and forgiveness toward the disobedient so that your faith can do the impossible. Our war is NOT against flesh and blood but against the unseen forces of darkness.
 
Are you offended at being called one of those “deplorable” people?
 
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” (Matthew 5:43-45)
 
How do we bless the ungodly? We pray for their salvation!
When you pray, you’re transferring God’s goodness, His will to earth. That’s our part. He desires all men to be saved.
 
Dealing with the wicked, well, that’s God’s business.
 
When you pray, the Holy Spirit in you is directing traffic, or in other words, what needs to be loosed and what needs to be locked up. Saints who pray have an internal assignment that yields to the direction of the Holy Spirit. Be led!
 
Because of this, God’s Word needs to be continually planted in your heart so that when you pray in faith, the mighty Sword of the Spirit is released out of your mouth. (Ephesians 6:17-18)
 
Through faith we subdue kingdoms! (Hebrews 11:33)

Through fear, anxiety, and worry we become discouraged which opens the door to unbelief! Shut that down. Maybe the news also! Pray more in tongues several times a day. It will strengthen you.
 
“Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me:
‘Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.” (Jeremiah 1:9-10)
Pray for the voters!

"... the LORD will arise over you,
and His glory
will be seen upon you."

Isaiah 60:2
___________________________________________________________


Let’s do a brief recap of our last Bible Lesson.
 
Hear what the Spirit is saying to His Church.

 
“I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!” Luke 12:49

 
John the Baptist prophesied of Jesus:

“And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees.
Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.
 
“He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” Matthew 3:11-12
 
You and I are living in a unique sliver of time. Like a line drawn in the sand, we are moving closer to the return of Jesus when we will be caught up to meet Him in the air.
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)
 
The removal of Believers, who are watching for His return, will leave the nations open for the man of sin to take center stage. Read 2 Thessalonians 2:12.

This season of earth’s history is called The Tribulation and will last for seven years. The very heavens will be dissolved, being on fire. (2 Peter 3:12 & Psalm 102:26)

"But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that the Day should overtake you as a thief." (1 Thessalonians 5:4)

"For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him."

(1 Thessalonians 5:9)
 
Autumn 2016
The Parable of the Tares and Wheat

Let’s review this teaching the LORD gave His disciples 2,000 years ago. Why?
Because we are living right in the middle of what Jesus prophesied would come to pass.
It will help to strengthen you.
 
“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.
 
“So the servants of the owner came and said to him,
‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’
 
“He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.
 
“‘Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
(Matthew 13:24-30)
 
Jesus explained the parable in Matthew 13:37-43 in this manner:
The good seeds are the sons of the Kingdom.
The reapers are His angels.
They will gather out of His Kingdom
all things that offend,
and those who practice lawlessness,
to cast them into the furnace of fire.
 
“Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” (Matthew 13:43)
 
Division — Separation
The angels are at work dividing the good seeds from the bad. What people believe in their hearts is being made known openly.
 
Definition of Divide: separate, split, disunite, cause to disagree, cause to take sides, disagreement, discord, disconnect
 
"LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED"  John 14:1
When we understand the season we were called to live in, we will be better equipped to understand why things are taking place the way they are in our nation. Bad seeds are gathering together and will eventually be bundled together for judgment.
 
Good seeds, or the wheat, will be gathered together in His barn.
“Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” (Revelation 3:10)
 
Just before the return of Jesus Christ to remove His Church from the earth, the Holy Spirit will be poured out on all flesh. Multitudes will come to be healed and delivered. God will harvest the earth and millions of people from every nation will be saved before the great and terrible Day of the LORD.
 
THE TRIBULATION
“Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.” Revelation 9:3
 
“For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” Revelation 6:17
 
“The Lord gives voice before His army, (not His Church)
For His camp is very great;
For strong is the One who executes His word.
For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible;
Who can endure it?
 
“ ‘Now, therefore,’ says the Lord,
‘Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.’ ” (Joel 2:11-12)

This is where The Glorious Church is moving into right now! We are taking the land, positioning ourselves in the heavenly places in Christ.

How? Through united prayer for our nation!

The mystery of iniquity:
The root of this is defiant unbelief in God and His word!
 
The carnal mind is enmity against God and leads to death. (Romans 8:6-7)
The old nature demands to be self sufficient and is highly absorbed with meeting selfish desires that are ruled by the five-sense realm: what we see, hear, touch, taste and feel. Every man born on earth inherited this from Adam.
 
But every man has the choice to be delivered from this.
 
THE MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH
“Christ in you the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:26-27)
The New Creation, the born again man, is enfolded in and one with the Spirit of God! We have the nature of the “last Adam, a life-giving Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 15:45)
 
Guard Your Heart!
We are in the world, but not of the world … (John 17:16)
 
The Kingdom of God within us needs to be protected.
“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” (Matthew 11:12)
 
“The Lord has established His throne in heaven,
And His kingdom rules over all.” Psalm 103:19
 
How?
By His Holy Spirit through His Church!

Diversities of gifts, differences of ministries, diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. That’s you and that’s me.
 
“Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.” (1 Corinthians 12:27-28)
 
“But the manifestation of the spirit is given to each one for the profit of all …”
 
“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore …”
(Matthew 28:18-19)

Closing Comments
Be fervent to fulfill your assignment. But while you’re working for the LORD, don’t forget what He said.
 
“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.
It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.

"And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”
(Mark 13:33-37)
