Praise the Lord ! The wonderful works of God are being seen all over the world as the church prepares for the final in-gathering of souls and the return of her Lord and Master. It is both exciting and challenging to think of what lies ahead of us.

The people of God have been travailing, groaning and watching for the final move of God for the church age before the rapture. This will be the move when God pours out the latter and the former rain in one season.

The saints of God can joyfully expect to see the miracles of both the new and the old testament times unfold before their eyes in every day life. What a glorious time it will be when the saints of God will be walking everyday in the glory and in the presence of their dear God. They will stride the streets and the cities relentlessly and manifest great exploits that will astound many for they will be walking in the realm of the supernatural, easily and without effort. The promise of the Lord to be in them and to dwell with them will be so real that the saints will have no desire for the things of this world. They will be so caught up with the glories of the Saviour and His total redemptive power and provisions that they will throw themselves wholeheartedly to the Father's business.

Many who have hitherto been on the sidelines will be drawn into the inner circle of the chosen, as they feel the warmth of the full blast of the love of God being manifested in the midst of the Holy Church. Some who have been on the sidelines will turn their back and fall to the snare of the fowler, as they prefer the honour that comes from men more than the honour that comes from their Lord.

We will also witness a day of apostasy, deceit and arrogance as we have never seen before, as the forces of evil on the other hand make one last frontal attack on the people of God. Evil men will wax worse and worse. Spiritual deceit and seduction will be at its zenith as hell opens itself for a desperate onslaught on the church.

As these events unfold before our eyes, we will behold a foretaste of the sifting of the wheat and the tares, a separation between the sheep and the goats and a distinction between the false church and the true church. Those who have been fornicating with a form of godliness, denying the power in the precious blood of Jesus, to cleanse from all sin will shortly stand out in stark contrast to those whose robes have been washed white in the blood of the Lamb. A distinction between the cross breed and the thorough breed will surface. The carnal minded will make their way toward the broad and easy way that will lead to destruction while the spiritual minded will march relentlessly on the strait and narrow way that leads to peace and eternal life with their God and Saviour.

The call has been given, the trumpet has been sounded, the messengers of the Most High have fearlessly heralded the approaching times. The prophets of Jesus Christ have been crying out the oracles of God among all those who are called by the name of God. The Word of God is going out as never before into the nations of the world as the children of God with their beautiful feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace are travelling across lands and seas with the joyful sound of a glorious salvation flowing from their very beings.

The glorious, spotless, wrinkle-free church of the first born is coming into her own realm as she prepares for the coming of her Lord even as a bride prepares herself for the groom. The beauty of the risen Lord of glory radiates from her as she watches and prepares for that day of meeting. The price that was paid for her redemption and glorification will demand that everything that is not from the Holy of Holiest drop off from her.

The manifold wisdom of God will be revealed in the church and then the evil principalities and wicked powers in the highest realms will be made a footstool to the church, which is the body of Christ.

As she waits the final consummation, the enemies of God will watch with fear, hatred and awe as the fiery presence of the Almighty begins to reflect and reveal the true nature of the church of the first born from the dead. Men will dread to confront the saints of God for fear of being consumed by the very awesome presence of the One before whom mighty angels bow their knees.

A roaring and a thundering will be heard in the spirit world as the sound of a rushing mighty wind, as the sound of many waters, as the children of the Living God listen to the voice of their Beloved. They will begin to hear the voice of the Spirit of God so clearly and so regularly that natural voices from unregenerate men will become unreal.

As their heart reaches out for more of the glories of the divine nature of which they have been called to partake off, they cannot but speak the words that they hear echoing in their spirits. As their spirit is joined to the Spirit of the Lord, these glorious people will appear to be a new creation which the world has never seen before, a species that never existed before ! Oh what a glorious time !

The new covenant in the blood of Jesus and enforced by the Blood, the Word and the Holy Spirit will cause the new creation men and women to walk with confidence and boldness. Knowing that they have the laws of God written in their hearts and minds, they will manifest the very mind of Christ and will walk even as the Son of Man walked on this earth.

The anointing which will be upon them, will with a vengeance destroy sin, sickness, every disease and even death the last enemy of man. The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the dumb will sing and the lame will leap like a hart as their Redeemer comes with a fury on the enemies of mankind and the Creator.

Look up then, for the completion of your redemption draws closer every day ! O glorious times !
