“ASK THE LORD FOR RAIN IN THE TIME OF THE LATTER RAIN.” Zechariah 10:1
 
“Truth shall spring out of the earth,
And righteousness shall look down from heaven.
Yes, the Lord will give what is good;
And our land will yield its increase.
Righteousness will go before Him,
And shall make His footsteps our pathway.” (Psalm 85:11-13)
 
Dear Saints,
If you have not read the vision that I had on October 20th please scroll down to the previous lesson, November 1st. You will find it at the end.
 
NOVEMBER 8, 2016
“The day the rains came!” Selah
 
God has answered our prayers for the election.
This is VERY marvelous in our eyes! But just as the President-elect has an enormous task ahead of him in restoring order to our government, The Glorious Church is required to continue to be fervent in prayer. Continue to hold him and his team up in daily prayer as they begin making important decisions. More information at Current Events.
 
“Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore, get wisdom and in all your getting,
get understanding.”
Proverbs 4:7 

 
WHAT NOW LORD? “FEAR NOT!”
As we are witnessing the power of God’s hand and His mercy on our nation to restore order, the call is going forth to each individual in Christ’s Body to fulfill their assignment. It is not a time to back down and take a vacation from prayer, and certainly not a time to be fearful.
 
MOSES
Moses had a huge assignment didn’t he?
He was to lead three million people out of Egypt into the desert, into an unknown land. As they approached the land of Canaan, leaders of each tribe were sent to spy out the land God was giving them. When they SAW the giants, fear swept over them; that is, except two leaders who remembered that God was with them.

Sadly, the ten unbelieving leaders managed to sway the nation that they could not take the land like God said.
 
Yeah, but what about God’s will?
God could not take them into the land because of their fear and unbelief. Their own fear-filled words would have produced their destruction. (See Numbers 13:27-33 – Hebrews 3:7-19)
 
God is sovereign and almighty. In His sovereignty, He gave man dominion over the earth and told him to multiply and subdue it. (Genesis 1:26 & 28)

God works through His people to accomplish His will.
 
As we know, the people who complained against the LORD would die in the wilderness. Joshua would ultimately lead the next generation, those who lived by faith in God, to accomplish what their fathers were afraid to do.
 
So we see God’s plan was put on hold waiting for that next generation.
 
THE END DAYS GENERATION:
When time runs out …

It is obvious to me that The Church on earth in 2016 is the generation that will meet our Savior in the air when the last trumpet is blown. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:52)

Jesus did not leave us without clues about the end days. His clues are written in the gospels. He doesn’t want us ignorant about these things. He said we are to look at the fig tree, Israel, and the other nations. He also gave us many other signs to look for.
 
He said in one generation we would see ALL these things take place.
Read Matthew Chapter 24 & 25.
 
Times of Separation
Much of what we see happening in the nations around us was prophesied by the LORD in His teaching on The Parable of the Tares and the Wheat. This reveals how the angels are in charge of removing those things that “offend and practice lawlessness” from His kingdom. (Matthew 13:41) Tuesday Bible Lesson on September 20, 2016 and October 4, 2016 reveal more about this interesting subject.
 
Much of what was written in the gospels is pointing toward our day. The nations will begin to see the fulfillment of these prophecies in the days and months ahead.
 
What can we do?
Occupy!

 
THE HOLY SPIRIT: THE REVEALER
The Head of The Glorious Church, Jesus Christ, has given to each of us His Spirit.
In other words, the General of the Army is resident within each soldier!

He will keep us safe and help us to complete our assignments as Ambassadors for Christ. And He is washing us with the Word to be presented to Jesus — holy, without spot, wrinkle, or blemish.  (Ephesians 5:27)
 
Holy Spirit is the one who has had our generation in training for the time we have just entered into. “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.” (John 16:13)
 
When Jesus, our Beloved, turned thirty years of age, He was baptized in water and by God’s Spirit as He came up out of the water. (Matthew 3:16) He did no mighty works until the Holy Spirit came upon Him.
 
And He said, “I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.” (John 14:10)
 
“…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)
 
Jesus was under authority to have authority.
You and I submit to His authority so that we have authority to accomplish His will.
“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19)
 
THE CALL:
DO THE GREATER WORKS! John 14:12
How can you and I be led by His Spirit to do the greater works if we don’t know the sound of His voice?  And how can we know His voice if we don’t study and read the Word of God? How can He remind us of what Jesus said if we don’t know what is written? (John 14:26)
 
We cannot let the Word of God slip from our lives in our busy days.
The enemy comes to try to distract, deceive, and displace to possess.
We are in a war. Be wise!
 
THE ARMY OF THE LORD
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:10-11)
 
Can you imagine sending soldiers out to fight a war with no training, no direction, no armor and no ammunition? For one thing, they would be scared … to death!

That’s precisely why God could not allow the Moses generation to go in and take the land.
 
Engagement is Necessary
Use Your Weapons

D-Day World War II:
Allies invade Western Europe in the largest amphibious attack in history. A multitude of destroyers at sea bombarded the land as soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy in a massive coordinated effort to take the land and defeat the advancement of the enemy.

General Eisenhower said, “We will accept nothing less than full victory!”

Picture
Now imagine groups of soldiers refusing to go and get in the fight. This could certainly put other lives at risk.
 
When some Christians, who are spiritually joined together with other Believers, don’t engage in the battle, it may hinder another Believer’s ability to complete their assignment, for we are all members of one another. If someone’s arm is disabled, does it not hinder the rest of the body?

FAITH IN HIS NAME

Now imagine a Body of Believers, sober, vigilant, taking our authority over the enemy, watching over one another, casting out devils, healing the sick, taking the Kingdom of God by force!
 
What if Jesus was running every church?
 
What if every Pastor would boldly teach his troops in warfare training declaring, “We will accept nothing less than full victory!”
 
“… you are no longer strangers and foreigners,
but fellow citizens with the saints
and members of the household of God,
having been built on the foundation
of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,  
in whom the whole building,
being fitted together,
grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
in whom you also are being built together
for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.”
Ephesians 2:19-22
 
“… speaking the truth in love,
may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ--
from whom the whole body,
joined and knit together by what every joint supplies,
according to the effective working
by which every part does its share,
causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.” Ephesians 4:15-16
 
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God
for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments
and every high thing that exalts itself
against the knowledge of God,

bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ …”
(2 Corinthians 10:3-5)
 
The Word Became Flesh
When Jesus was in the desert for forty days, He did not fight against flesh and blood but an enemy that is unseen. Jesus engaged in warfare and showed us how to overcome. He had to use the sword of the Spirit, God’s Word, against His enemy, not once, but three times. (Luke 4:1-13)
 
Being led of God’s Spirit and fighting the good fight of faith is necessary for the End Days generation.

Nehemiah, who led in the rebuilding of the wall around Jerusalem in just 52 days, said this of the workers: “… with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon.” (Nehemiah 4:17)
 
OUR BLOOD COVENANT RIGHTS
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
‘Says the Lord.’ (Isaiah 54:17)
 
Suggested Assignment
Soldiers in the Army of the LORD need to be strong and healthy.
 
If you need healing, Kenneth Copeland gave an excellent anointed teaching, line upon line, about our right to live long and be healthy all our days. You have blood-bought rights to be healthy. There is prayer for the sick at the end of the teaching.

Brother Copeland's teaching on the authority and power in the name of the LORD is outstanding. At the end he reveals how to pray for our President-elect. This is one you won't want to miss!
http://www.kcm.org/watch/event/2016-washington-dc-victory-campaign-the-glorious-meaning-having-gods-name-7-pm?type=372&tags=All&speaker=All

Need strength?
Pray more in tongues. (Jude 20-21)
Meditate on Ephesians 3:14-21.
 
Power Praise has a recording of the blowing of the Shofar. Let’s all let that sound into the air every day over our cities. Pray in tongues while you’re listening, it's awesome!
 
PRAYER WITH PURPOSE:
On Assignment — Isaiah 40:3-11

American Embassy
Panama
__________________________________________________________


Did you know that you are an Ambassador?

 
“Yes, I’m an Ambassador for Christ!”
 
Do you know what being an Ambassador means?
 
“It means someone of one nation who has been chosen to be a representative to another nation. Right?”   Yes!
 
Definition of Ambassador: to be a senior, to act as a representative; a diplomat, minister, agent, emissary, consul
 
“Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ,
as though God were pleading through us:
we implore you on Christ’s behalf,
be reconciled to God.
For He made Him
who knew no sin
to be sin for us,
that we might become
the righteousness of God in Him.”
2 Corinthians 5:20-21
 
One minister shared this story. He went to Haiti on his first mission trip out of the country. He was so distraught at the sight of enormous poverty: cardboard shacks, people seeking food from the local dump and so on. As he walked through the town he came in view of a large white mansion with a lush manicured landscape that had a large black wrought iron fence around it. He asked his guide. “What is that?”

The guide said, “Oh, that’s the American Embassy.”
 
You see, the American Embassy had provided the place for their Ambassador to live well and supplied all of his provisions while he fulfilled his assignment to that nation.
 
Born of God — John 1:13
The New Creation Man has God’s Holy Spirit in his spirit. Why? Because we will always have need of the Helper! Always!
 
Jesus told His disciples not to be looking here and there for the Kingdom of God, because “the Kingdom of God is within you.” As a citizen of God’s Kingdom, provision, along with legal rights and benefits, have been imparted into your spirit for your life’s journey. All citizens of God’s Kingdom, all Ambassadors, make up the whole and are called the Body of Christ, His Glorious Church.
  
“Dependent on Him, the whole body--its various parts closely fitting and firmly adhering to one another-- grows by the aid of every contributory link, with power proportioned to the need of each individual part, so as to build itself up in a spirit of love.” (Ephesians 4:16 WNT)
 
REPRESENTATIVES OF A HOLY NATION
“But you are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
a holy nation,
His own special people,
that you may proclaim the praises of Him
who called you out of darkness
into His marvelous light;
who once were not a people
but are now the people of God,
who had not obtained mercy
but now have obtained mercy. (1 Peter 2:9-10)   
 
When you and I were chosen to be God’s children, an assignment was engrafted into our spirit by the Holy Spirit who came to be our Helper. That means He helps us do the work that the assignment requires. In horticulture engrafted means to insert, as a scion of one tree or plant into another, for propagation.
 
Do most Believers know what their assignment is?
Can you imagine Jesus coming to earth and not knowing what He was called to do?

 
Each individual assignment is an important piece in fulfilling the assignment for the Glorious Church that is at work on earth in 2016.
 
Have you ever had a puzzle that you were not able to complete because a piece was missing? Each Believer is vital to helping The Church move forward to take the land.
 
Ambassadors are pioneers, striving ahead boldly to accomplish God’s will.

We are a Holy Nation, chosen before the foundation of the world. Our work comes from the inside, where the Kingdom resides, where the mystery of His will is made known to us. (Ephesians 1:9)

Our journey, our race, is a daily walk with Him.
 
What Does This Kingdom Do?
We do God’s will by touching the world with His love, through our prayers and through the work of our hands. (See Psalm 90:16-17)
 
Love forgives, love heals, love gives, love turns the other cheek, love manifests light where there is darkness, love speaks words that nourish, love brings forth good things by faith, love stands in the gap with prayer, love desires to do what the Word says, love does not envy, love is not prideful, love manifests Jesus to a hurting world by restoring God’s will.
 
“There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all… (1 Corinthians 12:4-7) This is what an Ambassador does.
 
So, what’s your individual calling?
“I don’t really know. I like to help people but I don’t know exactly what my assignment is.”
 
Well, first of all, prayer is the foundation of any assignment because Jesus said, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations ...” (Mark 11:17)
 
May I suggest that you read/pray the prayer written by the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 1: 17-23 every day for the next three months? Make this yours by personalizing it. God will reveal what His assignment is for you.
 
Please note: As we get closer to the return of Jesus, there may be assignments that were previously hidden, not revealed in former times, but are to be opened up now, as we get closer to the end.
 
Many of you are being promoted as God is enlarging “the place of your tent…for expansion!” Isaiah 54:2-3
 
An Ambassador for Christ
This means you are on assignment to represent another nation: its power, strengths, superiority, knowledge, beliefs, values, endowments, provisions, supplies, sustenance, and morality.
 
Interpret the word: Christ
The word “Christ” comes from the Greek word Christos which means “anointed.” It is interpreted as Messiah, in Hebrew. To be the Christ, or Messiah, is to be “the anointed one of God.”

Whenever you see the name Jesus Christ in the scriptures, stop and interpret: the Anointed One and His anointing.
 
This is Who we are to represent as Ambassadors and something powerful is given to His representatives, His anointing!

Not only that, but He has also given us a new identity when we were engrafted in Him.
 
We are no longer beggars before Him in prayer, or in our worship. We are anointed by the Holy Spirit and invited to come boldly into the throne of grace to find help and mercy in time of need.
 
But stand guard against the traditions of men which will always seek to pull down our identification in Christ.

 
“But the anointing which you have received
from Him abides in you,
and you do not need
that anyone teach you;
but as the same anointing
teaches you concerning all things,
and is true, and is not a lie,
and just as it has taught you,
you will abide in Him.”
1 John 2:27
 
THE TEACHER
When your Pastor is teaching God’s Word, it is the Holy Spirit teaching through Him and it is He that is working inside you to connect you to receiving and understanding the Word of God.
 
“But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.” 1 John 2:20
 
CLOSING COMMENTS
Can you imagine deploying troops into a country without telling them what their individual assignments are or what their goal is? Of course not! That would be chaotic and dangerous for them. You can’t win a war unless you have a plan.
 
Yet, many who are born-again know little of what the Body of Christ has been sent to do or have any knowledge of who they are in Christ after their conversion. They continue, week after week, to attend church services unaware of the great gift of His anointing that has been entrusted to them for service. How can they fulfill an assignment they don’t know they have?
 
You were called out and chosen to be God’s minister before you were born. (Ephesians 2:10) That means when you wake up every day, wherever your footsteps take you, whoever you speak to, whatever you do, you do all in the name of the LORD, as His Ambassador.
 
“And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature…
Signs will follow those who believe…cast out demons…speak with new tongues…lay hands on the sick and they will recover.”
Mark 16:15-18
 
 “And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.”
Mark 16:20
 
Suggested Assignment
Mark Hankins has an excellent teaching, with a bit of humor, on Who You Are and What You Have in Christ.
It's about 38 minutes.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWU5OsZPf3k

PRAYER WITH PURPOSE
Since so many of us are praying diligently for the upcoming election, I would like to share a vision the LORD gave me while praying and interceding for our great nation on 10-20-16.
 
I saw the U.S. - as a gigantic land and spiritual mass, being slowly lifted up from the earth. The wicked were angry and extending their arms - trying to grab hold of her - to possess her, to stop her ascent into the air. They could not touch her; they could not grab hold to keep her. They could not stop her ascent when she began to rise. God and His might was lifting her up-higher and higher, and then higher and higher-completely out of their reach!!!

The wicked watched and went into extreme anger and torment as the U.S. went out of their reach. They watched in awe, looking up as the U.S. arose from their grasp, under the power of God. The U.S. will prosper and break out in revival from the west to the east like a flood that NO one can prevent or stop.
 
On October 31st I saw The Church again, rising up under the power of God. This time I noticed that underneath the land mass there was an enormous multitude of praying people with their arms extended upward, lifting the United States as God was working through them.
 
Saints, continue to pray for our nation. The best is yet to come!
 
Praying for:
The Glorious Church
The Lost and Elected Leaders in our state and nation!
