Leaership

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Right now, the government is actively working to take away your privilege of leading your family in the ways of the Lord. This is a major sign of the end time tribulation beginning to unfold all around us.

The end time 7-year tribulation has two distinct chapters. The first is tribulation, a 3.5-year period which prepares the church to lead the world through the great tribulation, the second 3.5 year tribulation. Peter said judgment starts with the church:

I Peter 4:17 For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

Peter was simply reaffirming what Jesus described chronologically on the Mount of Olives privately with His friends. First Jesus told the disciples that believers, like them, would enter into tribulation:

Matthew 24:8-13 All these are the beginning of sorrows. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

Then, Jesus told His disciples what would follow were very prophetic events, beginning with the "abomination of desolation", which will be a statue erected on the temple mount meant to direct worship to the antichrist. When this occurs, Great Tribulation will unfold... a time worse than the earth has ever seen...worse than the Nazi Holocaust or the purges in communist Russia...Jesus said when that statue gets set up, if you live in Jerusalem, get out of town:

Matthew 24:15-22 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

For the sake of the believers, the number of days of great tribulation has been set or shortened... they have been numbered in advance. There will be 1,260 days, or 42 months, of Great Tribulation, which will be the time of greatest persecution of the Church:

Revelation 13:4-7 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.

Right now, whether you realize it or not, your response to the trouble unfolding all around you is determining whether or not YOU, and your family, church, and city will be protected through the Great Tribulation, or will endure the Great Tribulation from a more costly position. Jesus told believers they would experience much loss at His coming if they weren't prepared and alert.

Matthew 24:42-44 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

Jesus warned about loss so that no one would lose! BUT, you have to respond in faith, in advance, in order to not suffer loss of protection and, much more importantly, the experience of glory released, THROUGH the events of His coming.

Everyone gets what they want, and if you don't get a vision of the GLORY of Jesus' very terrible coming and start desiring the glory hidden in it, then what you are left with is more of the vision the world will have: more of the terrible with less of the great. If you are unwilling to take the time to get the right vision promised to believers, you will get the dread you are looking for, or worse yet, the dullness and theft Jesus promised to those believers not watching, desiring, and being made ready.

There is a plan to protect believers through the Great Tribulation, if you want it. BUT, you must choose it:

Luke 21:34-36 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 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.”

Night and Day prayer is the promised way to not just make a hedge of protection around YOUR geographic location in advance of the trouble, but to make a place to experience the supernatural unveiling of Jesus' kingdom around your piece of earth.

That very promise makes this moment in time the greatest to ever live through... but also the worst.

The stakes are VERY high. In some places, the loss of comfort will be unbearable, in others, the gain of glory will be unimaginable...and in the balance is YOU and YOURS.

How you and your kids experience the next few years is all up to you. What do you want and how much are you willing to express that desire? Everyone will get what they want, and through that yearning, the kingdom will appear on earth.

Guns won't help, stored supplies won't help, hiding won't help, emergency response training won't help... in fact, focusing on anything other than desire for the Kingdom to Come to you will distract you from the one thing that is promised to protect...which is the Kingdom protection coming to you.

There is no other Biblical solution.

From prayer, many divine strategies will be released, but these will all be supernaturally based, intended to demonstrate the glory of the Lord resting on His Bride and calling the world into that same relationship, so they would invite Jesus to come, too:

John 17:21-23 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

One of the most supernatural miracles that is supposed to take place is the gathering of kids and adults in the same purpose and mission. This end time unity promised by Jesus in John 17 is across the centuries of believers, the races, the genders, and the generations! All the places under attack by the national conversation in the church right now are the very places Jesus wants unity in truth..not in man's logic.

Kids and parents desiring the same things and experiencing the same appearance of heaven is one of the main promises of the end times! Did you know that? Did you know receiving kids and the importance of their role first is the only way a community of people will receive Jesus:

Matthew 18:5 Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.

A community that wants protection from what is unfolding needs to take seriously making a place for kids in the prayer meetings right alongside adults. That is actually one of the main evidences that the prayer meeting that protects is working...it is one of the main end time promises.

Joel 2:11-12, 15-18 The Lord gives voice before His army, 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.” ...

...Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room. Let the priests, who minister to the Lord , Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord , And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ” Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people.

Children and nursing babies weeping for the protection of the land through the end time day of the Lord?! Wouldn't the kids be happier with some Disney while I do my thing? No! In fact, they will suffer much if I don't take the Biblical promises for the end time at face value. Children are always the ones that suffer the most when a community turns from God. This is literally happening all around us right now.

The sheer statistics of fatherless children, abortion and the murder of young children, crimes against children, crimes perpetrated BY children... children are under direct assault by the culture, and the fruit of that assault is now maturing. BEWARE. Just as we are turning on Israel and positioning ourselves to receive that judgment, we are also turning our kids over to political correctness and the government. The end time expression of this is promised to devastate the land everywhere people agree with it.

If you don't take the rejoining of kids and parents together seriously, your geography WILL suffer the curse of the end time judgment:

Malachi 4:3-6 You shall trample the wicked, For they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet On the day that I do this, ” Says the Lord of hosts. “Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, With the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord . And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

The spirit of Elijah first came with John the Baptist. John stood for truth in love. The Church is mostly falling in cowardice at the advancement of political correctness. Do you know that cowardice will mark the end time falling away?! Many refuse to simply state the truth in love for fear of being labeled a racist, or a homophobe, or a lunatic...this is a very bad choice in the one time you are called to stand with everything you have:

Revelation 21:6-8 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

John the Baptist paved the way in repentance so that the kingdom could begin being received. Do we care that the truth be received in the hour given to us?

Truth is being rejected in the USA right now on an industrial scale. Law after law is being offered to reject the truth of Jesus' leadership...what HE calls sin, and what the Bible says to do about it.

Sadly, those willing to resist political correctness do so with the wrong arguments and wrong spirit. They ramp up to win a fight rather than look up to call down a kingdom.

Nearly no one stands for the supernatural kingdom in chosen love for those throwing rocks from the other side... the few that do stand do so in anger...missing the entire point of what is unfolding around us... they are trying to win an argument Jesus isn't having.

This is what Jesus is doing: returning in a very glorious, yet painful, process...kind of like having a baby (he used that illustration for this hour). Arguing about how we got pregnant, or whether or not we even are pregnant, isn't going to help deliver the baby...in fact, it is a satanic distraction designed to keep the body from pushing the baby out

...your kingdom come, your will be done...push, push...your kingdom come, your will be done...

Praying is the only way the kingdom is coming. Not a better politician, not the republicans winning, not a better law...none of that has ANYTHING to do with Jesus' plan to return.

Desiring those things as some sort of hope to stave off the darkness is actually like saying to Jesus "not yet...let us die a little longer before you come. Give us one more fallen leader, one more law to be abused, one more right...can't we just have one more right to be disappointed about as it is stripped away by the promised events of your coming?"

The Spirit and the Bride say "come"... not "come, but until then, why don't you...". None of the writers of the Bible had a plan B... why do you?

Right now, by the signs of the times, we need all hands on deck, child and parent, calling the King back home...desiring the kingdom of heaven to manifest...so that it actually WILL. Heaven is only going to manifest where we ask, seek, and knock like our lives, and our kids lives, depend on it...because the truth is, they do!

Matthew 7:7-11 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Receiving the kingdom means accepting the leadership of Jesus, and all that means...standing where he stands, loving what He loves...hating what He hates. Many rejected the spirit of Elijah in John...many, right now, are rejecting the spirit of Elijah in the forunners sent out into the world. If you reject Elijah, then you reject the protection from the promised curse that MUST come to judge the rejection of Jesus' leadership.

Right now, the government is building a case for why trying to help your kids pray is abuse. Do you see it?

The president said a couple of days ago that he would like to see transgender and gay "conversion therapy" for minors outlawed. Do you know what this really means? What this means is that, in the eyes of the government... including 19 states already writing these laws... you are not a fit parent to offer guidance to your own kids on sexual matters, especially if it involves praying about their sexuality!

Certainly many terrible and godless things have been done in the name of Jesus throughout history (the Crusades, for example)...however, outlawing Jesus as a way to address sexual confusion or perversion in children at the direction of their parents is beyond anything imaginable even 15 years ago. Do you see how fast loyalty to Jesus is becoming illegal and hated?

What follows is clear, as it happens in every totalitarian regime: the raising of the children must be done in a spiritually-neutral state-sanctioned way. Are you ready for this? Are you actively working to protect the children in your community from this by strengthening them in the knowledge of what is coming and what to do about it? Or are you feeding them some more of the world? "Keep calm and carry on"...

The children of the believers have a target on them. The youth are always a target for a facist...Hitler, Mousellini, Mao...in order to change a culture, you have to separate the kids from the parents in order to control the population for their own good. That is the Marxist way of thinking. That is what is unfolding all around you. Do you care?

You don't need a non-marxist in control to counter this move, you need to pray like it really works. Jesus is allowing this to happen to get you to cry out for the only One worthy. Are you responding?

Satan attempts to destroy the family structure because it is so near to the Father's heart, and because this is a primary way to disrupt communities... to tear them apart and fill them with despair and apathy. Attacking the children stops the prayer that protects cities.

Training the children and inviting them into the plan for Jesus to return is the only way a community of believers can obtain the promise of protection in the end times.

Right now, Jesus is calling the whole world to a prayer and worship meeting. Do you know this? This will bring the generations together in love and zeal to see the supernatural kingdom of heaven unfold everywhere the parents actually believe it enough to start inviting it and teaching the children to invite it. The answering of the invitation will be what protects the very places doing the inviting.

At the same time, the forces of hell are trying to dismantle the very prayer meetings, in advance of them even forming, by taking away the spiritual relationship between parent and child. Because so few believers care to know the plans of Jesus, many are caught in unwinnable arguments regarding sexuality and government. They ramp up in anger, yet never humble themselves in intentional and costly prayer. Woe to the western church if she will not settle down, learn the end time plans and begin agreeing now... while there is precious little time.

If you want to be safe, walk away from all that the world is trying to establish and start preparing the places...sanctifying the congregation from the newborns to the elderly...to have a passionate conversation with heaven. Now is the time, and we are the generation.

It is the only plan in the Bible.
