The bible is very clear about this important phenomenon in the church.
Matthew 16:28
Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom." That during this split second event , the LORD will snatch away the bride that is mature and reflects, the image of CHRIST. While this should have been a wake up call in the church globally, it is sadly , not, because at some point, the church became drowsy and slept and the enemy came sowing whatever pleased him. Today she woken up in a rubble of malpractice and gross apostasy.
In any way whatsoever, I will go ahead and share a little about the great, very big visitation I received from the LORD, today, 12th,January 2018 about he above event. The LORD presented to me a night, and it began to rain, then He took me into a church that looks like a countryside church, and I began having a conversation with a few people I found in this place. And as we talked, suddenly like lightning flash, followed by thunder,rapture took place there in that night as it was raining. Now, this is the second time I am seeing this dream but this time round I saw a few people close to me who had remained a few seconds, maybe a minute post rapture and I saw some of them, deep into sexual lust, one of these people even as the LORD made me understand, was deeply imagining how they could have sexual "gymnastics" with another person. And so in this state of things, other events happened that I will not share here and then the vision ended.
So listen to me, The LORD Jesus, the one that died for me, the ungodly of whom I am chief, indeed is coming for the church ,a church that is a mirror image of the stature we see in Ephesians 4.
11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 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.
If the church ever thought about investing, then it should have thought about doing that into treasures that last. The church should have provided room for the move of the HOLY SPIRIT so that He Himself can mature her.That church which is mature to reflect the image of the Messiah is one that has had all chaff in her gotten rid of. That church enjoys the five fold ministry and is seasoned in the spirit. She is the type that will not live in sexual lust, the love of money, among other sins. However, considering the darkness across the globe in the pulpit, and the proximity at which we sit vis a vis rapture, one wonders whether, she can mature quickly and be able to wed the messiah.
Then about the latter anointing. This church apart from simply maturing , should also be walking at a higher anointing than the primitive church. It is this anointing that is going to navigate her on this path, because she has never been on this way before.
Joshua 3:4 He says
Joshua 3:3-4
New International Version
"..
"When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before..."
By the LORD instructing Israel through Joshua to watch out for the time when the ark of the covenant is being moved, meaning the moment that cracks the start of a dispensation of a latter out-pour, He intended that the church , the modern day church, stays awake and keeps watch, so they can partake of the blessings that accompany that season and be counselled on how to navigate this way into the future of eternity with GOD. He also implied that , obedience then at that point would be an absolute requirement to have them not loose track since the church has never been on that path before.
In other words also, this is the counsel that the sheep of the LORD hears at this hour. He says, John 10:27
New International Version
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. It this voice of the LORD, the counsel of GOD in the church that when she the church follows, can only end up in eternal peace. That whether she turns to the left or to the right, she will hear this counsel saying, this is the WAY, walk therein. By so doing, she is going to shut out corruption and deception.
He says,
Isaiah 30:21New International Version (NIV)
21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” But then we know the way, because later you see ONE that is He coming out to talk about how the church can reach the father.
He says,
John 14:6New International Version (NIV)
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. And so for the church to enter into a dispensation of a latter out-pour and also into eternal peace with the LORD, she has to go back to finding the way, then led by the counsel of the LORD through the person of the HOLY SPIRIT be able to navigate herself into life.
This then means that she must be LEAN off sin. She has to repent in Christ Jesus, and wear the image of the righteousness of GOD through obedience.
Matthew 7:13-14New King James Version (NKJV)
The Narrow Way
13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because[a] narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Owing to the spiritual narrowness of this path, you see that right away she even has to have some anointing so she can identify the path. The book of Joshua 3:3-4 puts clearly, that given the path is strange to the church, has no disco lights, has no immorality, has no apostasy, she has to FIND it, a process that calls for unveiling of the grace of GOD that brings salvation which teaches her to say no to ungodliness, dating in the church, witchcraft, masturbation , everything , so she can live sober and holy life in this present age.
And so for the church to heed this call of walking in higher anointing, then must first begin by elevating obedience. This then is the hour where, you dont listen to your friends, to the world, but , to the counsel of GOD and whatever He tells you. The LORD is saying that HE knows how broken you are, that He understands that its a path you haven't walked before, but He asks for your willingness to obey and do whatever you hear Him say.
John 2:5New International Version (NIV)
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
This then must be the dispensation of faith. The dispensation of believing GOD. The dispensation of remaining steadfast to the works of the cross.This is the threshold of entry. Shalom.
We know that men, will almost always disappoint. However, that anointing becomes the COUNSEL of GOD that navigates you through fulfilling the ministry of GOD in your life. Run the race in such a way as to finish.
