The Great Awakening

The Word of God foretells of a great Spiritual awakening and outpouring of the Spirit of God upon His people, before His judgments are poured out upon the earth. For the remnant, who have been called out of the organized, institutional, Denominationally divided churches of today, that awakening has been taking place for many years. That system is truly the "Religious Babylon" of Revelations." There are three dimensions of Babylon, Religious, Political and Economic Babylon. We are seeing all three of these beginning to crumble. The daily news verifies this. Some denominations believe only in the salvation message. The Pentecostals believe in Salvation first, followed by the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Both of these experiences are necessary before we can come into the Fullness of God.  God in this hour, is not doing away with any of these experiences; He is bringing us into the "Fullness of God" through "The Feast of Tabernacles." God is seeking a tabernacle, not built by hands, a "Holy People," whose hearts and minds are totally centered on HIM. {The Things of this World Grow Strangely Dim in the Light of His Marvelous Grace; from the lines of an old Gospel Hymn.} To come into the realm of Tabernacles, we truly have to let all the cares and love of this Earth Realm pass away. God is a jealous God. We cannot serve two masters.

God is pouring out an anointing of the Holy Spirit with power and Great Wisdom upon His people, that we may stand in these "Last Days" before multitudes, delivering His Word in Power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost. Mighty miracles, and deliverances will take place during the greatest time of darkness, ever to come upon the earth. The people who are rooted and grounded in Christ shall be strong and do great exploits, and shall instruct many. The Word tells us to "put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand in the evil day." We were also told by the Apostle Paul, that it would be through "Great Tribulation" that we would enter the "Kingdom of Heaven." The multitudes of God's people have been lulled to sleep by a cold, dead, denominationally divided church in the earth, that is not teaching them that they have to overcome anything; {There are eight promises given to the overcomers in the book of Revelations. Click} just attend their air-conditioned churches, sit in padded pews every Sunday morning, Sunday night, and, if possible, Wednesday nights, listen to a warmed over sermon, and just wait for "Jesus" to come and take them out of this "old sin-cursed world." There are a people in the earth today who have already left this old sin-cursed world, while their feet are still planted firmly upon "Terra Firma." Like Paul, who was "caught up to the Third Heaven" and John on the Isle of Patmos, they are being "Caught up to the Throne of God" to prepare them to be "Lights" in the darkness that is even now descending upon "Planet Earth." The greatest delusion of God's people has been The "Fable of the Rapture. God's Word states that because "They choose to believe a lie, He would send them a "Strong Delusion." It is upon this planet that God promised in His Holy Word that He would establish His Kingdom. Jesus will have a Holy People upon the earth, at His return, who will rule and reign with Him for a thousand years. We can only enter into this realm through the Cross of Jesus, as we lay down this old carnal Adamic nature of the earth man, and take on the nature of Christ.  Romans ch.8:18-23: For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the GLORY that shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature {the earth man} waiteth for the "Manifestation of the sons of God." For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, because the creature also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the "Children of God." For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they , but ourselves also, which have the "Firstfruits of the Spirit," even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Nowhere in God's Word does it tell us that we will be taken off this earth to receive the redemption of the body. Paul used the same phrase "Caught Up" in 2nd Cor. 12-2 " I knew a man in Jesus above fourteen years ago, whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;}" such an one caught up to the third heaven.   This experience happened to Paul, without him leaving this planet. It was a Spiritual place, that Paul was caught up to in the Spirit. Doesn't it stand to reason, that since Paul who also wrote the First Epistle to the Thessalonians, the phrase "Caught Up" 1 Corinthians Ch.15---verses 51 thru 54, is also a Spiritual catching up. Especially since we are caught up in is the "Clouds" to meet the Lord in the "Air." The word "clouds" here is the Greek word "Nephos," which according to Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament words, page 200, means, metaphorically, a dense multitude, a throng. The word Clouds speaks Spiritually of a great throng of people. The word "Air" used here is the Greek word, "Aer," which signifies the atmosphere. There is only one planet known to man, where atmosphere or air that will support human life is found, and that is the planet we live on. The Greek word for "Twinkling" is "rhipe" which according to Vine's means to hurl, also the rush of wind or flame. The wind and the flame of the Holy Spirit is moving throughout the earth, transforming the "Firstfruits into His Glorious Likeness," filling them with power and anointing, that we may be ready for the "Great   Endtime Harvest," that is at the door. The Greek word for "eye" is "ophthalmos." One of the meanings of the word is "singleness of motive." Everyone in this Mighty Army of God will have one mind and motive; to see peace and righteousness restored to God's creation, and "The Kingdom of God" established upon this earth. The word "moment" here that we will be caught up in is the Greek word "ATOMOS." Remove the last "O," and you have the word "ATOMS." Everything upon planet earth including our bodies, is made up of "ATOMS." The "atoms" of our bodies will be changed. This will cause our corruptible bodies to put on incorruption. Jesus, the Firstborn Son of God, paved the way for us to enter into the "Holy of Holies, behind the Veil." The Transfiguration of Jesus, took place before His crucifixion. This event was for those at the end of this age, whom God would reveal the understanding of this Glorious Transformation of the atomical structure of His earthly body into a Body of "Pure Light" before Jesus ever tasted of death. Even His garments shone as pure Light. Were not His garments also made up of atoms? The wisdom of God far surpasses the foolishness of men. In times past, God has winked at our ignorance, but the time has come to search out the Word for ourselves, and find out the truth of God's Word instead of letting the carnal minds of men interpret the scriptures for us. Let us now go back and read the 1 Thessalonians, Ch. 13- starting with verse 14 thru 16, and see if more Light can be shed on the one scripture, that the carnal minds of men use the most to delude the masses with their "Rapture Myth." When God Speaks through His Holy Word, the Bible, He confirms it over and over in His Word. The Word says that he speaks through the mouths of two or three witnesses. This verse tells us that those who sleep in Jesus will come back with Him. "14-15-For this we say unto you by the Word of God, that we who are alive and remain unto the coming of Jesus shall not prevent {precede} them which are asleep." Paul here again is referring to those who have passed on as being those who are asleep. "16-For Jesus Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:" Why would Paul change his wording here and say that those who have passed on are, those who are dead in Christ.  Let us go to Colossians Ch. 3-verse---3---"For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." In order to be "Dead in Christ"  the old carnal nature of Adam must be destroyed.  Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.  The word RISE here {according to Vine's} means Resurrection.  {No where in these verses, which are the most quoted scriptures used to support the Rapture myth, does it say the Church will be taken off the earth while the rest are left behind to suffer through the "Great Tribulation."} The "Firstfruits" are those that have been called out and,  who have died to self, and the "old Adamic nature of the earth man.   Those who are "dead and their life is hid with Christ in God are the "Corporate Manchild" of Revelation. 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.  Revelations 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.  {When the word "woman"  is used in the scriptures, it is symbolic of the Church.  Rev. Ch 17 depicts the Woman upon the scarlet colored beast as the Harlot church system in the earth.} They  will minister to the woman "the deluded church system" that is expecting at any moment  to "fly away," and leave this wicked world for Satan and the anti-christ to wreck havoc upon. "17-Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet Christ in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." The word "rise" refers to the Resurrection of those who are alive and remain as well as those who have passed on {sleep} in Christ  who  rise, at the sound of the last "Trump."  The Bible is a Spiritual book, that can only be understood by those who truly have the Mind of Christ. The polluted Word is now being consumed by the Pure Revelation of God, that is now being revealed from the heavens.  Too long has Satan deceived God's people and lulled them to sleep by false doctrines and traditions of men. The time of the "Manifestation of the Sons of God," Romans Ch.8 is at the door."
