THE EARLY CHURCH ERA BIRTHED AT PENTICOST HAS TRANSITIONED THROUGH THE AGES TO WHAT WE EXPERIENCE TODAY.
God has been stirring in my heart for quite some time now that His Church, the bride of Christ, has moved into a totally new "Church era."
Now is the end season, we have moved into the final stages to our Lord's return.
He is returning for His bride, “pure, spotless, set apart, sanctified & passionate” for Him. He is not returning for a mere handful of believers but millions and millions around the world. It is not His will that any should perish. It is not only a new Church Era but it is the start of a new season, it is the season for the late rains.
Zachariah 10:1
Ask for rain in the time of the latter rain.
The rainy season has transitioned; it is now the season for the latter rain.
Joel 2:23-24
“For He has given you the former rain faithfully, & He will cause the rain to come down for you—The former rain, & the latter rain in the first month.
(24) The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, & the vats shall overflow with new wine & oil.”
It is a time for harvest and a time of the new wine, the new out pouring of His Holy Spirit. It is up to us to ensure we are new wine skins. Ensure our hearts are ready to receive the new wine and bring in the harvest.
Isaiah 43:18-19 18
“Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. (19) Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
Let go of the past & move on, if we live & meditate on the past we fill our hearts with the old, how will we receive the new? A new thing, it has never done before.
What is required of us?
Like the incredible birthing season of the Wild beasts on the great plains of Africa where all the antelope give birth within a few weeks; in the same way, I believe that the church is moving into a birthing season. Individuals / Churches / Businesses, are birthing new things. Family's of believers, experienced mothers & midwives are helping those who are travailing with delivery & protecting the new born.
It is up to us the Church, the bride to travail in birth as co-laborers with Christ. We are to press in with prayer & press in with worship, express honour and adoration of our Lord God.
The prophet Elijah received the word from God that He would send rain; yet he still went & bowed himself, travailed in prayer & birthed the deluge of rain. “The waters broke” the heavens opened.
In 2 Samuel 5:20 David says the Lord has broken through my enemies before me like a breakthrough of water. The waters broke for David's victory. Ask for rain, “it is the rainy season, push through, endure, travail, it is time to birth, it is the birthing season.”
May God richly bless you, His passionate people.
