ARE YOU CALLED BY GOD AND KNOW YOUR CALLING?

Looking at what has happened in recent years, we have discovered a prophetic overture can reveal how the natural events are warnings for what spiritually is to come. And thus, the prelude creates a manifesto for the Church. There are valuable prophetic signs to be gained through these natural events. The Holy Scriptures have revealed to us ways to interpret the signs and forecast what is ahead of us. There have been hundreds of thousands of young men and women who have signed their names on the dotted line to fight in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of them signed up for the opportunity to obtain a higher education or receive an income they could not acquire in a civilian job. Most in the military found themselves amid something they did not think they signed up for, yet they served with all that was within them.

As these wars began to fade away, we looked into nation’s rearview mirror and saw truly little was accomplished for such a great cost. We have seen massive loss of life, property, and the demise of our way of life. Pondering the peak of nation’s pain, we were highly motivated by anger, fear, retaliation, and greed. All these emotions were triggered after 9/11. So, what have we learned and what could we have done differently to turn tragedy into a positive mark for our nation’s history? Is it possible that we could have managed this event with a heart of love rather than of hate? And had victory without sacrificing our bravest and brightest?

Looking in the Rearview Mirror: We now have a chance to redirect our destiny. However, we must first look deeper into the signs that have been played out over the past 20 years to properly forecast what direction the Holy Spirit wants to take His People. Now, the People of GOD whose names have been signed into the Book of Life are being called up to fight a different kind of war, a spiritual war. When we stood up for Jesus, we may have thought we were going to get a free ride. Not so! We are now being called upon to serve in His supernatural force, fighting a much different kind of foe.

For many years prior to 9/11 we experienced peace and prosperity enjoyed the preaching and being caught up in the praise and worship and the fellowship. But now, we are at a place and time where GOD is calling His People to unify into an army, joined together and empowered by His Love. We are already seeing a manifestation of His Power. There are signs that reveal we are gaining forces from within through laying down our old traditions and fears and welcoming the Holy Spirit to lead us. This is a novel approach to spiritual warfare. If you are in this movement of GOD you can easily see a surge of power being released from the Holy Spirit as it is poured into the followers of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. In the natural, we are seeing a mass exodus from non-spiritual church groups. Many are being led by the Holy Spirit into the baptism of Jesus, as spoken of in Acts 19:1-7. Those who have been ministering for several years are experiencing a huge increase in miracles, healings, revelation knowledge, and the shocking responses to their prayers.

Who Will Follow Me? Asked the Spirit of the Lord. The Church and its leaders are not the only ones who will be called to the front lines in this spiritual war. From the newly born-again Children of GOD to the oldest and most mature godly leaders, we will be mixing it up with the enemy. However, our weapons are not of this world. Looking at the errors made in the past wars we can learn from the signs how we might obtain victory in these new spiritual wars against our enemies.

I,(place your name) Declare & Decree. O’ Lord, no matter what You do I will not judge Your actions for there is no one Higher than You and Your judgement is always the right one. When you speak or reveal to me what it is You desire me to Prophesy or take Prophetical Action, I will obey without question.

O’Lord, You do not change! From the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, You remained the same. Now that we have stepped into the 3rd, and Final Covenant I declare and decree. You are the same and nothing has changed. No matter how I feel about what You may command me to do, I will obey without question or reason differently within myself. It is Written: “The Lord is a Man of War; the Lord (Jesus) is His name” (Exodus 15:3 NKJV).

Only One Way to Win this War:…..In a natural war, you look at everything with your natural eye. It is much different when you engage in spiritual wars. To be blunt, most of the past spiritual battles the church has been through have not been successful and I will tell you why. Our enemy cannot be viewed as a human or a nationality. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places”(Ephesians 6:12 NKJV).

There is one reason so many of the church’s battles are never won. I could go into detail but let me just try to give you the main reasons why methods of the past have not worked. Primarily, the greatest problem within the church is the mainstream of the Body of Christ do not believe anyone can really hear GOD’s Voice or Know His Ways or Thoughts. Most religious organizations do not believe all that is written in the recorded history of GOD’s marvelous works, i.e., the Bible. Although, GOD’s True Believers know the Bible is His Tuning Fork for Hearing His Voice and knowing His Ways and Thoughts. We should always consult Him about what we should do before starting a battle cry against a group of people or any unpopular issue. Some have the idea that all Christians want to destroy everything in the world. So, on their own, they decide to declare war on whatever it is their group is against. If you do not seek GOD for His Direction before going to war over any issue you will always lose. Without His Word, Ways, and Thoughts we will lose everything.
