PROPHETIC WORD FOR THE YEAR 2002

“The kingdoms of this world are become the
Kingdom of our Lord and His Christ!”
(Rev 11:15)

         In my recent trip to Europe, I saw a changing tide of tradition unseen in our modern world. As of January 1, 2002, 12 nations are forsaking their own unique, monetary heritages to convert to a common currency called Eurodollars. No more will tourists encounter the delightful confusion of negotiating transactions with French francs or Irish pounds. Today’s children will never know the charming symbols of these cultures- except historically. This is but the overture of a determined and deadly crusade to institute in the earth one world government to be ruled by one world power! Sleeping societies are allowing this change with the apathetic attitude, “You can’t fight city hall”! This would be a lamentable event if it weren’t for the fact that an antichrist administration must be a precursor to the imminent Christed Government that is ruled by a Body of Divine Sons who will tell all that: “The kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdom of our Lord and His Christ!” The Kingdom of God first came to the earth in the Person of Jesus Christ, the Savior of all! The Kingdom- as a whole- was fully established in this long-awaited Messiah, but not manifested in its entirety at that time. It’s revelation was incrementized first through the apostles, then through the early, martyred church, and now it is to come forth in a Body of Divine Sons! These overcomers have suffered-long for their faith over varying periods of time; and soon they will be sent to openly preach the Gospel of the Kingdom to every nation, people and tongue. Their emergence will be accompanied by unprecedented miracles! As they claim every kingdom of men for the glorious Kingdom of God, there will be earth-shaking ramifications! Kings, queens and elected or appointed officials will bow before this august Body as they demonstrate the Power of the Living God with thought, word and deed. No longer shall controversial, dead doctrines of devils masquerade as foundations of God’s Church; but rather, the Resurrection Power of Christ will manifest as the True Foundation! Carnal minds have long challenged religious doctrines with humanism, atheism and relativism; but no flesh mind can render the ocean tides motionless, or shift the earth on its axis, or lift and transport a mountain to another location! No amount of positive thinking can translate a human being from one end of the earth to the other, all in the blink of an eye. These things- and even more- may be what we shall soon witness in the earth!
          I told in a recent sharing that my daughter and I just returned from a week in Europe where the Lord sent us to 3 specific places- London, England, Dublin, Ireland and Paris, France- just prior to their changeover to Eurodollars, where we offered up Christ’s Prayer of Consecration! The Holy Spirit confirmed the divine purpose and successful completion of this mission in many ways. It wouldn’t surprise me if other members of the Manchild Company were led to perform similar acts of intercession and consecration in other nations. In our case we were told to proclaim in each land that, “Their kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdom of our Lord and His Christ!”
          What is meant by the word, kingdom? It is a place ruled by a sovereign authority according to his own aspiration and ambition. This well describes man’s carnal nature! Every created being believes himself to be autonomous with his self will as the motivating and determining factor of his thoughts, words and deeds. He answers to others only when compelled either by carnal desire or by threat to his well-being. His sole focus is SELF, and the fulfillment of all his selfish demands! It is this wicked and onerous kingdom that holds every man captive, and must be utterly vanquished and supplanted by Christ’s Kingdom of Love!! Only in His glorious Kingdom is there true Peace and Joy. Only here can man truly seek his own highest good by the power of His Father’s Love.
          I recently heard this portion of a TV minister’s sermon, “What would your life be like if Jesus Christ had never been born? What would the earth be like today if Jesus had not been born? God looked down and saw the hell on earth and sent Heaven to earth in the form of Jesus Christ! No one denies that this birth took place, because it is historical fact; but few stop and think what a difference it has made it the earth- and more importantly- in their own lives!” [end quote]
          Long ago the world established- then commercialized- a day called Christmas where people celebrate themselves with gifts and feasts; but now the spirit of antichrist is disassociating this feast from Christ while retaining the celebration of self! But the real evidence of Christ’s birth on earth is as a heart displays UNCONDITIONAL LOVE first to GOD, then to ALL MEN; and this love is celebrated EVERY DAY- not just one day of the year! Let our spirits rejoice that God is exposing and denying this soulish tradition that was initiated for the glory of natural man’s soulish kingdom; and let us celebrate the true Birth of Christ in the Kingdom of our hearts! For only when our own “kingdom of this world is become the Kingdom of our Lord and His Christ” can we ever become the living testimonies of the Kingdom of Love soon to be revealed to all the world!
          This glorious witness shall begin in this coming new year of 2002. [In the Scriptures, the number 2 symbolizes “witness and martyrdom”; since the Greek root for “witness” is martus and is also translated as “martyr”. Thus to be a true witness for the Kingdom of Spirit, we must first lay down (martyr) our “kingdom” of soulish carnality! Therefore let us seek the Lord and think on these things as the world celebrates their traditional holidays; and may the New Year be ushered in with the Glory of God’s Love manifesting in the hearts of each Kingdom Son!! Amen.
