Salient points:
- We are now in the early stage of the Kingdom-establishing movement
- Things will get worse before they get better
- The Church is becoming more glorious as the world becomes increasingly darker
- We need to be ready at all times for we do not know when is the Lord's coming
- God's greatest desire for us is to be conformed into His likeness
- Be strengthened in His word to protect from deception
Notes from Bishop Bill Hamon's sharing on the Word for 2023
There are three moves of God after the prophetic Apostolic.
The Saints movement, which took place in 2007
The Lord’s movement, which took place in 2016
The Kingdom-establishing movement, which we are entering into now
There seems to be a reset in the human race every 2,000 years.
When Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden, the “fall” of the human race began.
That was the race that existed until Abraham was called out to birth the “Hebrew” race. The Hebrew or Israeli race was started through Abraham.
2,000 years later, Jesus came and started the “Church” race.
2,000 years later, He will come to start the “Kingdom” race.
The “Church” race has eternal life in their spirit, but mortality in their body. But when the “Kingdom” race begins, it will be at the RT, and they will not only have eternal life in their Spirit, but they will also have immortalized bodies.
It's really going to happen, saints!!
The church was birthed in 20-30 A.D. If you had 30 A.D. added to 2000 A.D, that would take us to 2030 A.D.
So the time is short. And the time is near.
Believe and be ready for God's best, and be prepared for the world's worst.
This is going to be a year of contrast and conflict. Be ready for the positive power versus the confusion and problems. Demonstrate the glory versus those who deny the glory and are ungodly.
We don't know when the Lord is coming. So be ready at all times.
Parable of the 10 virgins: Be like the 5 wise virgins. Take extra oil because the bridegroom will be delayed.
Past movements
God always prepares a place, a people and a message for what He wants to do next.
God prepared Martin Luther for many years before using him to birth the “Prophetic” and “Protestant” movement.
Then, God used John Wesley to birth the “Holiness” movement.
After that came the “Pentecostal” movement, where God brought more people together to spearhead His next move.
The same thing was in the “Latter Rain” movement and the “Charismatic” renewal.
Then came the prophetic “Apostolic” movement to bring the restoration of the Lord’s prophets and apostles.
Then, we had the Saints movement, and after that the “Army of the Lord” movement in 2016.
Final move
Now, we're getting ready for the final move of God.
As in Isaiah 60, it's going to be a time of great darkness for the world.
But it's going to be light and victory and power in the church, and with those who know how to move with what God's doing.
So it's a contrast: the world is going to get more wicked, but the church is going to get more glorious.
I felt the Lord's urgency to prepare us for both.
The same grace and faith that takes to manifest the glory in Revelation is the same grace and faith to take us through what's coming.
What we had in 2021 is kids’ play compared to what's coming.
In Matthew 24, the disciples asked Jesus three questions: (1) when will these things be; (2) what events will signal Christ's return; and (3) when will the end of the world come.
Jesus gave a long list of things that's going to happen before the end - eg. false messiahs will appear deceiving many, wars and rumours of wars.
Deception will be rampant.
So you better know the truth and be around people with maturity and wisdom that can discern error from truth and truth from error.
The Bible also says in the last days, many will be offended.
I want you to become unoffendable.
Important to: (1) talk in tongues a lot; and (2) know the word of God.
Fullness of time
Three things that must come to fullness of time before Jesus can return.
The coming of the Lord is not a specific day.
The Bible said even Jesus didn't know when He was coming, only the Father knows.
Galatians 4:4 says when the fullness of time came, God set forth his son.
Ephesians 1:10 says it’s God's pleasure that in the dispensation or period of the fullness of the times (plural), God is going to fulfill and finish all things, according to Revelations 10:7.
We're in the fullness of the times of the fulfilling of all things.
Unfinished business
In a vision/dream, the Lord spoke to Bishop Bill Hamon that he was still living here on earth because God had another move that He wanted Bishop Bill Hamon to spearhead.
He already spearheaded the Prophetic/Apostolic and the Saints movement; and then the “Army of the Lord” movement.
The Lord says now He is getting ready for the final climactic, fulfilling and revealing of all mysteries.
We're now in the beginnings of the Final Reformation. This is what is called the “Kingdom-establishment” movement.
God’s greatest desire for us
Be ready: It's about to get worse before it gets better.
The glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former.
We are to go from glory to glory until Christ's likeness.
The church is to grow and increase until she reaches the fullness of Christ in His likeness and demonstration of His kingdom (Ephesians 4:13).
God doesn't look at suffering like we do. God will allow you to suffer if it will conform you to Christ's image and likeness more - whom the Lord loves us, He beats the darkness out of them.
God's number one passion, desire and will for each one of us is to be conformed to the image and likeness of Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:28-29 is a covenant principle we need to know. God promises and makes a covenant that all things work together for good if you're called by God and you love Him.
Don't be conformed to this world but transformed by the renewing of your mind and thinking to be like Christ.
