Get clean and ready for Bridal Union with Christ

Salient points:

• We are called to be a prophetic generation, so we must prophecy. 
• Reject unbelief, embrace the truth as written in the Bible.
• We are now given the opportunity to wash our garments with the Blood of Jesus Christ to prepare ourselves as the bride ready for His coming.

Notes from Ps Paul Keith's sharing on Aug 22, 2023 [TITLE: Prophesying the treasures of God

Things are going to escalate in intensity, as we enter a season of time for the bride of Christ to make herself ready.

In a letter to the church of Sardis (Revelation 3:1-6), we learn that only a minority of the church were prepared for the coming of the Lord. Only a few did not have soiled garments. That means the majority had stained robes, soiled garments, and they were unprepared.

Revelation 3:1-6 [NKJV]

1 And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, ‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. 4 You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. 5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. 6 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” 

So, God gave them an admonition to overcome - reject those things that are not true, but embrace that which is true (and repent), so as to be presented to the Lord in pure white garments.

We are being given an opportunity right now to wash our garments in the Blood of Jesus Christ, in truth and in faith, rooted and grounded in love, rooted and grounded in truth, as the Lord continues to unveil greater dimensions of spiritual truth from the word of God to us. 

We need power - more than what was needed by the first-century Christians - because of the difficulty of the day in which we're living.

Our day is the darkest day in history because it is leading up to the Great Tribulation. The Lord says there's never been a day like it and there'll never be another one like it.

Therefore, we need power to live above the spirit of this world. We need power to prophesy accurately with the motivation of heaven, not the agendas of men or selfish ambition, and not for unrighteous gain.

We're living in a prophetic generation - so we must prophesy, it's not optional.

According to Joel's prophecy, we in this last-day generation will be a generation of prophetic people, and there will be a people that prophesy the truth.

There is a message of truth that is going out to make ready a people without spot and without wrinkle - men and women that believe every word proceeding from the mouth of God. They believe in miracles; they believe in genuine Holy Spirit-inspired visions.

Everything we see in the book of Acts, we can experience today.

This is the hour. 

This is the generation this is not to be complacent or apathetic, or even have hope deferred, as we broach this End of the Age season, and begin to prepare a people that will be ready for a bridal union experience with the Messiah.

We are called to be a prophetic generation, to search by the spirit the very depths of God's heart and to reveal and prophesy things that have been concealed, but now revealed.

Prayer: 

Lord, make ready your people. Put Your word in our mouths and let us prophesy the unveiling, the disclosure, the very manifestation of the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua, our Messiah.

Grant that Lord, we ask in Jesus’ name, Amen.

The last move of God - reassembling His Ecclesia

Salient points:

• God is reassembling His Ecclesia in His last move before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ
• Family of God must be united
• Five-fold ministries must be allowed to function accordingly
• Return to the First love, valuing intimacy with the Lord
• Be faithful to the end
• Focus on Israel - everything must end with Israel
• The cries of the first born have reached heaven

Excerpts from Apostle George Annadorai’s sharing at the second session of 5782 Golden Gate Gathering 

We believe we will be the last generation that will witness the last move of God.

His last great move is to reassemble His Ecclesia before His final return.

Only when his Ecclesia has been reassembled can He bring the nation of Israel to the fullness of her destiny, and restore the nations at large to fulfill their God-given destinies. 

This attempt by the Lord to reassemble his Ecclesia in our day and time is taking many forms and shapes in the name of many different movements that are alive today. 

There many other movements raised by God, but six movements from different parts of the world are converging. It can also be referred to as six streams coming together, converging together into the river of life. 

As in the six days of creation in Genesis 1, there will be six days of recreation of the Ecclesia. 

So, all these movements converge where all these rivers converge, and the centre is what we call Ecclesia. The Apostle Paul will call this movement: unity in diversity. They look very different, but they are all united in the core. 

Movement #1: Family. For this purpose, God had raised homecoming from Canada. We are all members of one family (in Christ) and relationships are the key. 

Movement #2: Function. For this purpose, God had raised the Apostolic networks from all of Taiwan. The emphasis is that there must be the government of God within the body of Christ. 

We need to allow the apostles and the prophets to function within the Body of Christ, just like pastors, teachers and evangelists.

Movement #3: First love. For this purpose God has raised IHOP from the USA to put the emphasis on first love in the heart of every believer where intimacy becomes the primary emphasis. 

Movement #4: Faith followership. Many believers simply live out their faith, right where persecution is happening. These are the people who are teaching the rest of us, who belong to the body of Christ, hat real faith is and what real followership is. 

Movement #5: Focus. We know that all other things are important but the focus must always be on Israel. Everything must end with Israel, and with Israel to the nations. 

Movement #6: First born. Biblically, Israel is the first born. Biologically, Ishmael is the first born. 

The Islanders are first-born. In our day and time we are hearing the cry of the first born. The cry of the first born Israel. The cry of the other first-born Ishmael. And they cry on the Islanders.

We are living to witness the convergence of the Isaiah 19 Highway and the Isaiah 62 Highway. This is happening in our day and time. And speaking about the first born, let us not forget the ultimate first born in heaven, Jesus himself. The first born in heaven is hearing the cry of the first born on Earth. And something is about to happen.

The last great move of Jesus is to reassemble his Ecclesia. Ecclesia is not one local church in one country.

It is the body of Christ scattered throughout the earth. They come from every tribe, every tongue, every people, every nation. But together they become the government of God on earth.

Jesus says I will build My Ecclesia. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Second Coming of Christ is near - what's the ultimate sign?

Salient points:

• The greatest sign that the Second Coming of Christ is near is the birth of John the Baptist company.
• The Second Coming of Jesus Christ will be in the Feast of Tabernacles
• This time He is coming for the nations
• We are invited to build a highway for the return of the King of Glory, but our heart must be right
• We must decrease. He must increase.

Excerpts from Apostle George Annadorai’s sharing at the first session of 5782 Golden Gate Gathering 

The first coming of Jesus happened in the month of Nisan, fulfilling the calendar of the Jewish people.

When Jesus comes the second time - the final time - He will come during the Feast of Tabernacles.

Why is that? Because this time, He is coming for the nations.

So, this period is very personal to us.

We are not Jewish, we are Gentiles. We do not belong to the nation of Israel. We belong to the nations (e.g. one may belong to Singapore, another to Taiwan, another to Indonesia and another to Malaysia).

We represent the nations. 

Therefore, as we prepare the way for the final coming of Jesus, the preparation has to be done by the nations.

Anyone can say this is a time for the prophecy to come to pass, but we must be able to back it up.

In the gospels, how did Zechariah and Elizabeth know that the Messiah was coming? There must be a sign before the coming of the Messiah.

In the gospels, the greatest sign that the Messiah was coming was the birth of John the Baptist.

What then will be the greatest sign for the Second Coming, the final coming, of the Messiah?

Answer: The birth of John the Baptist company - not one man or woman. This time it will be every tongue, every tribe, every people, every nation.

And that's the greatest sign that we can say to all others that the time for the final coming of Jesus Christ is drawing near.

There must be a company of people from every tongue, every tribe, every people and every nation who are preparing the way for the Lord - a highway for the Lord.

We are building a highway for such a time of this. Not just anywhere, not just anyhow, but the Golden Gate (highway).

Blessed are you and I for we are invited to be in this company.

What's unique about this company is that they must say, “I must decrease, but He must increase”.

This is not about any individual nation, but it is about the King of Glory.

We must decrease, He must increase. 

Only those with this heart will be invited by the Father to build this highway.

Get ready. Get dressed. Both outside and inside. More so on the inside.

When we are coming to a banquet, we must be dressed rightly.

May our hearts be right before God and before man. Amen.

The final move of God - establishing His Kingdom

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.

1. The Saints movement, which took place in 2007

2. The Lord’s movement, which took place in 2016 

3. 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.
