Exodus 2.23-25.nkjv Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage. So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them. The Biblical concept of rescue....salvation... Exodus.... It has always been participatory. It requires your part in the process. Jesus prophesied the same thing would be true in the end times: Luke 18.1-8.nkjv Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because th

This is what the wisest man earth has ever hosted did... This was his mission: I Chronicles 28:9-12, 19 “As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever. Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it.” Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the vestibule, its houses, its treasuries, its upper chambers, its inner chambers, and the place of the mercy seat; and the plans for all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of the Lord , of all the chambers all around, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries for the dedicated things;... ... “All this, ” said David, “the Lord made me understand in writing, by His hand upon me, all the works of these plans.” David&

This is the hour we are in, the hour that the Bride is becoming pure and spotless so that she will be ready to see God face to face. This is related to "ascending God's Holy Mountain": Psalms 24:1-7 The earth is the Lord ’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters. Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord ? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord , And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Selah Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. The idea of climbing the mountain of God has many facets. There is a practical application of how to get your hands clean and your heart pure that Jesus showed

I hear the Lord saying that time and intensity are both accelerating in a way right now that can be felt but not measured, but by the middle of the summer, many will be dismayed or excited about how quickly events that mark the return of Jesus have advanced. Your experience of the accelerating process for joy or fear will be entirely dependant upon your desire for understanding of the unusual thing the Lord is doing in this hour. Isaiah 28:21-22 For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon— That He may do His work, His awesome work, And bring to pass His act, His unusual act. Now therefore, do not be mockers, Lest your bonds be made strong; For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts, A destruction determined even upon the whole earth. Many mockers will be made stronger in their mocking, the distracted will become more distracted, those sleeping will be made stronger in their blissful ignorance only to be jarred awake at an inopportune time

Where do you think this is going? Many young people are tired of Jesus' way of patience and restraint...they are choosing, in droves, the Jihad way...organization empowered by anger... What must happen next? The Nation of Islam, if empowered in the US, will make ISIS look like the opening act. They are being credited with bringing peace between gang members in Baltimore to fight against the authority of the local police.... The mayor of Baltimore credited them with bringing peace to the city. Do you see where this is going? Major influencers of youth culture, even those who associate with "Christianity" are endorsing Farrakhan and His murderous ideology. The kids of this nation unfortunately listen to these guys. What must happen when the fathers lead the children to hate and kill in the name of God? "Kanye West met with Farrakhan in January, bringing wife Kim Kardashian and baby North. The minister and rapper had “a beautiful meeting,” said Farrakhan. The two spoke

True anointing is manifest in the unity of the Church around the full revelation of who Jesus is. It takes anointing to do the impossible: reveal the man the world hates in order to bring the world into agreement that he is the only one worthy to lead it. Logic and reason cannot accomplish what requires anointing. Isaiah 61:1-4 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord , And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord , that He may be glorified.” And they shall rebuild the old ruins, They shall raise up the former d
