THE LORD REIGNS!!

Beloved, "The Lord reigns.... He sits enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth quake!"

Each decade seems to bring a greater number of earth quakes of great magnitude than the previous one. Is it not written in the book of Matthew that "there will be...earthquakes in place after place"? These tremblers are "the beginning of the birth pangs". (Matthew 24:7,8)

Every birth is preceded by a time of discomfort, ungainliness, pain, and often travail. These negative aspects of birth are a result of the fall of man in the garden. (Genesis.3:16) Just as in natural birth, so in spiritual birth.

At the end of this age of Grace there will be great travail preceding a great birth! The birth of a new age and a new order! The gestation period is already begun. We are in the "last days".

At the same time, as a necessary preparation, God is birthing a Glorious Church. A Church (a Bride) that will display the Resurrection Power of our risen Lord, Jesus Christ! She is not coming without discomfort, ungainliness, pain, and travail; but she is being delivered. There is no power in heaven or on earth that can stop her moving through the "birth canal".

Her course is set. There is only one way to go. This is no breach baby. Satan cannot abort this one. This is the one destined to inherit the Father's promise. This is the one that Jesus is betrothed to. This is the one that the Holy Spirit is making ready for His coming. This is the one that will do exploits. This is the one that will proclaim to the world.

You Are The Church ! Yes, Beloved, it is you who is being birthed in this great hour of visitation. By agency of the Holy Spirit, you are being brought to maturity for just such a day as this.

(1 Corinthians 3:16; 12:13,27; Rev.19:6-8; Esther 4:14)

Will you come forth willingly? Will you entrust your future into The Father's hands? Will you? Will you? Casting all your care upon Him? (1 Peter 5:7; Proverbs 3:5-7)

I know you have, and I know you will. Together we will come forth in power and proclaim Jesus as Lord.
