Oh, the hope we have in Jesus!
The world without Jesus has no hope.
How sad it is to see someone die without Jesus knowing his or her eternity will be spent eternally separated from God.
Oh, the heartache the unbeliever must feel when a loved one dies. For them death is the end.
But, thank God for Jesus.
In Jesus is eternal life (John 3:16).
Luke 20:37-38 (King James Version) 37Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
I like to put my name in there. “The Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and the God of Mace.”
He is my God.
In Him I will never die. I will just relocate and upgrade.
Praise the Lord.
So will you if you have made Jesus the Lord of your life.
If you have a loved one that has left this earth and they were saved then they are not dead.
No, my friend. They have relocated and upgraded to their mansion in heaven.
For He is not the God of the dead but of the living.
Now, raise your hands and Praise Him for what He has done for you.

A Word Of Prophecy
1 Corinthians 14:3 (King James Version) 3But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
Prophecy given to Mace Wilkerson by the Holy Spirit on May 28, 2009:
Thus sayeth the Lord,
Speak the Word out of faith and not presumption. Your words by themselves are nothing but empty capsules.
However, when you speak My Word out of your mouth your words become My power unleashed.
You cannot speak faith without My Word.
That is presumption.
You cannot speak the Word without the Blood.
For I sent the Word and He became flesh so His blood would be shed on the Cross for you.
Presumption kills my people.
My people are dying prematurely due to presumption.
Ingest My Word and let it flow from your innermost belly.
My Word is blessed.
My Word is power.
My Word is strength.
Your words are none of these by themselves.
Only when My Words become your words and your words become My Words are their full authority unleashed and realized.
The Word cannot be separated from the blood.
For The Word became flesh so the Word’s blood would be shed on the Cross for you.
The Word’s blood paid for you in full and the resurrection is your receipt.
Your Words must be based in faith in what the blood paid for.
You overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the words of your testimony, which are My Words.
Thus sayeth the Lord

Miss The Flood!
The days are going to get worse. I am not trying to be a downer. I am just telling you what the Bible says.
Jesus said the following:
Luke 17:26-30 (New King James Version) 26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
What were the days like during Noah’s time?
Genesis 6:5-6 (Amplified Bible)5The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination and intention of all human thinking was only evil continually. 6And the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved at heart.
Does this not describe the world today? Who would have ever thought we would see same sex marriage in America?
Pornography is a billion dollar business.
Corporate greed has brought America’s economy to the brink of destruction.
Billions of dollars are spent on drugs and alcohol each year.
Approximately 42 million babies are aborted each year around the world.
Jesus is ridiculed and His people are mocked.
Judgment is coming!
But, thank God He protects His people.
You see, God had Noah go into the ark during the great flood. Everyone in the ark was protected from the judgment against sin that came upon the land.
The ark was a type of Christ.
In Christ we are protected.
In truth, because of our standing In Christ we will be raptured out of this planet before the great tribulation period that is coming to planet earth.
We are redeemed in every sense of the Word!
Praise God for His mercy and faithfulness to His Covenant Children.
Thank God in Jesus we can and will escape the flood!
God expects us to not only rejoice because of our salvation but to tell the lost they don’t have to stay lost.
To boldly proclaim to a dying world that Jesus died for their sins and He is alive!
Tell them if they will confess Him as Lord and believe that He died and rose from the dead they will be saved!
He expects us to confirm the Word by faith with signs and wonders following.
So get busy!

The Power Of The Cross Of Christ
Many in the modern church world believe that the Cross is old fashioned.
I have even had a world famous church leader tell me that one cannot preach the Cross and a message of hope together.
God help us.
1 Corinthians 1:18 (New King James Version) 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
There is no hope without the Cross!
You cannot preach the Gospel without the Cross.
For it was at the Cross that Jesus took our sin and gave us His righteousness.
It was at the Cross he took our sickness, including autism, epilepsy, and every other disease upon Himself so we don’t have to. The Cross gives us the right to Divine Health.
It was at the Cross that every bondage of hell was destroyed.
At the Cross the sin debt was paid and it was the resurrection that confirmed the finished work of Christ.
When we refuse to preach the Cross, the blood, or refuse to speak against the sin that made the Cross necessary we repudiate the work of Christ.
Oh, let us glory in the finished work of Christ and the power it gives the believer.

Hope For The Prodigal
Most of us know the story of the prodigal son (Luke 15: 11-31). He took his inheritance early and ran off and lived the high life.
He lost all of his money by living like a fool and ended up literally living with a bunch of pigs.
He then repented, went to his father and was totally restored to his rightful standing as son.
Luke 15:17-18 (New King James Version)17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,
What I want you to notice is the phrase he came to himself.
In other words, the man eating and living with the pigs was not the real man. The real man was an heir of a wealthy and respected man.
How many of you have loved ones that you know are saved but are not living like it?
They may have gotten off into drugs, alcohol or just worldly living.
Remember, they are not themselves.
The spirit of drug addiction, alcoholism and other demonic spirits are oppressing them.
Don’t give up on them. Keep praying and believing God that they will come to themselves.
You see, the prodigal son is a type of the backslidden Christian.
I believe his father was praying for him the whole time he was out there in the world living like a fool.
Those prayers touched God who then touched the prodigal.
Don’t give up on your loved one. Keep loving them. Keep praying for them.
And when they come to themselves rejoice.
That’s what the father of the prodigal did. He ran to meet his son when he returned home with tears in his eyes.
He gave him the family ring symbolizing his restoration into a place of authority.
You do the same when your loved one returns.
Because, friend, they ARE COMING HOME!

Put On Christ
Paul warned the Roman Church that the return of Christ was imminent.
Romans 13:11 (New King James Version) 11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
He then tells them how to be prepared.
Romans 13:14 (New King James Version)14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
Let’s notice a couple of things here. 1) He is writing to believers. 2) He has to tell believers to put on the Lord Jesus Christ.
This tells me that we have a choice.
We put on Christ by putting our faith in the finished work of Christ as detailed in Romans 6. Our faith in the finished work puts us In Christ.
In Christ we have security, liberty, freedom, and power.
In Christ we give the Holy Spirit latitude to work in our lives.
It is when we take our faith off of what Jesus did at the Cross that we step out of Christ.
We do this by putting our faith in works, church affiliation, law, leaders, our own abilities and anything else but the finished work of Christ.
So, let us put on Christ each and every day so we will be ready for the return of our dear Savior!

Renew Your Mind
Be Transformed
The moment you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior your spirit man was mad a new creature.
You were born again.
However, your mind is not your spirit. Your mind was not made a new creature.
This is why you have to daily renew your mind with the Word of God.
Romans 12:2 (Amplified Bible)2Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].
Your mind is controlled by the five senses.
It reacts to what it can see, hear, feel, taste, and smell.
It is so important that you feed on the Word of God and renew your thinking according to the Word.
You see, the devil reigns in the sense realm.
If he can get you to focus on the sense realm he will drag you out of the faith realm.
It is in the faith realm that we overcome.
In the faith realm we are not limited by the senses. Our faith overcomes them.
When our mind is renewed by the Word of God our faith attacks the sense realm and destroys it.
In other Words, the Word trumps the senses.
This can only happen when our thoughts and words line up with the Word of God no matter what.
Friend, renew your mind according to the Word and you will have victory in every area of life.

The Rock
Indeed, these are perilous times.
This is no time to play religion or to play Church.
Jesus said storms would come and they have come.
Economic typhoons, swine flu, war and rumors of war are just a few signs of the times.
Let’s bring it down to a more personal level. Some of you reading these words have received pink slips, a bad doctors report, or a financial calamity.
Maybe all three are your story today.
No, this is no time to play church.
Jesus said there would be days like these.
Luke 6:47-49 (Amplified Bible)47For everyone who comes to Me and listens to My words [in order to heed their teaching] and does them, I will show you what he is like: 48He is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood arose, the torrent broke against that house and could not shake or move it, because it had been securely built or [a]founded on a rock. 49But he who merely hears and does not practice doing My words is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation, against which the torrent burst, and immediately it collapsed and fell, and the breaking and ruin of that house was great.
What is your foundation?
Is it the Rock?
If your foundation is Jesus Christ and His Word you will not be moved when the winds of destruction blow.
Yes, you may feel the wind.
Yes, the debris may hit you hard.
But, your house will not be moved because the Rock does not give in to circumstances.
I can hear the wind blowing…Whack! You lost your job.
But, you are firm in Christ, “My God shall supply all my needs.”
Whack! Diabetes and Arthritis smash against your wall.
However, your wall firmly founded in the Rock of Truth repels their attack “I am healed by the stripes of Jesus!”
Finally, a loud boom thuds against your home. Bam! Recession will eat away your savings.
Even that is no match for Christ and His Word. “My God always causes me to triumph in Christ. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. I tithe and I am a giver therefore the windows are open over me and pouring such a blessing I can’t contain it all. I am prosperous in Jesus’ name.”
It is impossible to have Jesus be the foundation of your life without His Word.
They go together.
If you are moved by circumstances and feelings then work on your foundation.
The Word withstands every circumstance that blows the believer’s way.
The storm passes.The believer whose foundation is the Word remains standing triumphantly!

Joint Heir
Have you ever really thought about your position in Christ?
Religion has clouded things up quite a bit. But, if we just go by the Word it will blow your little religious mind to bits.
Romans 8:16-17 (Amplified Bible)16The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God. 17And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him];
The Holy Spirit testifies to our born again spirit’s that we are actually children of God.
You are God’s kid, praise God!
Pay careful attention to verse 17.
You and I, as believers, are fellow heirs with Jesus Christ.
A lot of times we just blow past that and think, “Oh, isn’t that nice.”
But, meditate on that. Every believer shares in the inheritance with Jesus Christ.
What is His is ours!
Isn’t that what a joint heir is? They share an inheritance equally.
Think about it. In Mark 16 Jesus already gave us His Name, His power of attorney, to use on this planet.
We share His blessings.
We share His authority.
We share all that Christ has inherited as King of kings.
“Mace, that is going to far.”
Oh bless you, you little religions thing.
Did not the Word just tell us we were Joint Heirs with Jesus Christ? Does it not mean what it says?
Not because we deserve it but because He freely gives.
Praise God.

What a wonderful, loving, and giving Savior we have in Jesus Christ.

Thank you in advance.
Religion has clouded things up quite a bit. But, if we just go by the Word it will blow your little religious mind to bits.
Romans 8:16-17 (Amplified Bible)16The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God. 17And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him];
The Holy Spirit testifies to our born again spirit’s that we are actually children of God.
You are God’s kid, praise God!
Pay careful attention to verse 17.
You and I, as believers, are fellow heirs with Jesus Christ.
A lot of times we just blow past that and think, “Oh, isn’t that nice.”
But, meditate on that. Every believer shares in the inheritance with Jesus Christ.
What is His is ours!
Isn’t that what a joint heir is? They share an inheritance equally.
Think about it. In Mark 16 Jesus already gave us His Name, His power of attorney, to use on this planet.
We share His blessings.
We share His authority.
We share all that Christ has inherited as King of kings.
“Mace, that is going to far.”
Oh bless you, you little religions thing.
Did not the Word just tell us we were Joint Heirs with Jesus Christ? Does it not mean what it says?
Not because we deserve it but because He freely gives.
Praise God.
If that doesn’t make you shout for joy I don’t know what will.
What a wonderful, loving, and giving Savior we have in Jesus Christ.

You Don't Need No Stinkin' Religion
Oh, thank God once we have confessed Jesus as our Lord and Savior we don’t have to go around crying and bawling, “I am just a poor sinner saved by grace.”
No, you may have been a sinner but now you ARE the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus!
Praise the Lord!
Romans 5:8 (New King James Version)8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
When you got saved the Lord quit looking at you as a sinner. He now looks at you as though you are as righteous as He is.
Wow!
Notice, the word used in verse 8 that I underlined. “Were” is past tense. You are not a sinner in the eyes of God any longer so don’t call yourself one.
Romans 5:1 (New King James Version) 1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have[a] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Because our faith is in the finished work of Christ we have entered into total peace with our heavenly Father.
Our righteousness is not dependant upon us. It is only dependant upon our faith in what Jesus did at the Cross.
It is when we equate our righteousness with our works that peace flees from us.
Because there is no possible way for us to do enough good works to make up for sin we have committed.
That is why religion fails and creates miserable people.
Thank God we don’t have religion.
We have Jesus.
No, you may have been a sinner but now you ARE the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus!
Praise the Lord!

Consider Not!
What are you considering?
Are you considering the symptoms in your body?
Are you considering the pink slip you just received?
Are you considering the fear that is bombarding your mind?
You see, what you are considering determines whether you have a breakthrough or not?
Abraham was a hundred years old and still waiting on the promised son. His wife was 90 years old.
Now, you don’t need me to tell you that they were not primed and ready for making whoopee. There was no Viagra in those days.
But, Abraham had a promise from God that through his seed the world would be blessed.
Romans 4:17(King James) – (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calls those things which be not as though they were….19And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able to perform.
Some of us need to realize that it is not living in denial not to consider the circumstances. It is living in faith to consider the promises of God.
I can see some folk telling Abraham, “Abe, you just live in a fantasy world. God doesn’t want you to deny facts. You are one weird dude!”
You know what? That weird dude was called a friend of God because he dared to consider God’s Word over the circumstances!
He was the Father of Faith. He spoke what God said and not what His body said.
He didn’t yield to the pressure of unbelievers. He trusted God and talked and acted accordingly.
So, what is it you are considering?
Are you considering the symptoms in your body?
Are you considering the pink slip you just received?
Are you considering the fear that is bombarding your mind?
You see, what you are considering determines whether you have a breakthrough or not?

Signs Of A New Testament Church
There are many theories as to what the New Testament Believer or the New Testament Church should be like.
Some theorize the New Testament Church is one that goes about helping with social injustices.
Others theorize it is supposed to be a political force.
Still there are some that say the New Testament Church is a melting pot of ideas from all sorts of different religious beliefs and thoughts.
Brother Kenneth E. Hagin used to say a theory was a presupposition based upon one’s ignorance of the subject at hand.
I like that definition of theory.
Friend, we don’t need to have a theory when we have the words of Jesus that tell us exactly what the New Testament Believer and Church are supposed to be.
Mark 16:15-19 (New American Standard Bible) 15And He said to them, "(A)Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16"(B)He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. 17"These signs will accompany those who have believed: (C)in My name they will cast out demons, they will (D)speak with new tongues; 18they will (E)pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will (F)lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." 19So then, when the Lord Jesus had (G)spoken to them, He (H)was received up into heaven and (I)sat down at the right hand of God.
I want you to pay real good attention to this scripture. These are the last words Jesus spoke before His ascension to the Father.
These are the Words of Jesus so they should mean something to the believer.
Jesus, our Lord and Savior, tells us explicitly what He says the Church ought to be. He does not care what our denomination believes or our tradition.
1) In the Name of Jesus the New Testament believer casts out demons. Yes, demons are real. Jesus has given us the authority to cast them out of hurting men and women. If we don’t then who will?
2) In the Name of Jesus the New Testament believer speaks in tongues. This powerful tool for prayer builds up the individual believer and edifies the Body of Christ.
3) Exercising authority over the devil and demon powers. The term serpent refers to the devil and his minions. Over and over again the devil is called a serpent in the Bible. Jesus has given us His Name to use in warfare against the serpent of old.
4) In the Name of Jesus we move forward in boldness and not fear of the devil. We can expect Divine protection in the Name of Jesus.
5) In the Name of Jesus believers are called to lay hands on the sick and fully expect them to be healed. He did not say a sign would be a silent prayer. He said to lay hands on the sick in His Name!
This is Jesus’ description of the New Testament Church. It has not changed with the times, my friend.

Faith To Faith
It is impossible to walk and stand still at the same time.
When one walks he or she moves forward.
The Christian walk should be just that. It should ever be moving forward and not stagnant.
Our walk should be a progressive walk of revelation and faith.
You see, you got saved by walking in the revelation that you were a sinner and in need of a Savior. Jesus is that Savior and He took your sin upon Himself on the Cross. You received a revelation that He died and rose from the dead and you confessed Him as Lord by faith.
The problem is too many of us don’t move forward from there.
But, if we feed on the Word of God the Holy Spirit will give us more and more revelation as to what we have in Christ, who we are in Christ and what we can do in Christ.
Then, by faith we have to walk in that revelation to receive the benefits.
Romans 1:17 (Amplified Bible)17For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith.
You will never have healing manifest in your body unless you receive the revelation that Jesus paid for your healing with the stripes upon His back.
You will never get past poverty until you receive the revelation of the hundred-fold return.
You will never get the revelation without reading the Word.
But, if you choose to accept what the Word says and not try and talk yourself out of the promises paid for with the Blood of Jesus then the Holy Spirit will reveal the truths of the New Covenant to your spirit man.
At that point you must walk in faith until the promises manifest.
The Word mixed with faith gives the Holy Spirit power to bring the promises from the spiritual realm into the natural.
Thank God for revelations.
Thank God just live by faith.

The Great White Throne Judgement
Revelation 20 shows us that after the battle of Armageddon Satan will be thrown into the bottomless pit for a thousand years. During this time Jesus will reign from Jerusalem.
There will be peace and harmony. However, there will be those that don’t worship the King of kings.
After a thousand years Satan will be released and will again deceive the nations against Christ and His people. The nations will surround Jerusalem.
However, they will not prevail.
Revelation 20:7-10 (New King James Version) 7 Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where[a] the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
After this stunning defeat of Satan and his army comes judgement.
Revelation 20:11-15 (New King James Version) 11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God,[a] and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.[b] 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
Friend, is your name written in the Book of Life? There is only one way for it to be and that is through be Jesus Christ.
Without Christ you will be judged for your sins which will lead to eternity in the Lake of Fire.
But, thank God Jesus took your sin upon Himself at the Cross and made HIS righteousness available to you if you receive Him as your Savior by faith!
Romans 10:9 says that if we believe in our heart Jesus died and rose from the dead and confess Him as Lord we will be saved.
Why don’t you do that right now? Tomorrow is not promised to you and neither is 10 minutes from now.
Say the following prayer out loud, “Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus, I present myself to You.
I pray and ask Jesus to be Lord over my life. I believe it in my heart, so I say it with my mouth: “Jesus has been raised from the dead.” This moment, I make Him the Lord over my life.
Jesus, come into my heart. I believe this moment that I am saved, I say it now: “I am reborn. I am a Christian. I am a child of Almighty God.”
Welcome to the family.
Find you a good church that teaches equally the Word and the Holy Spirit and read your Bible every day. This will help you grow.
Tell someone today that you got saved and are a Christian.
Also, let me know of your decision.
Friend, if I don’t see you around town then I will see you in heaven.

Throw it off!
Faith always has action. Remember in the book of James we find that faith without works is dead.
Faith will always have a corresponding action. If not then it is not faith.
You remember the story of blind Bartimaeus?
He was blind man who begged for a living on the side of the rode outside of Jericho. When he heard that Jesus was coming up the road he started to shout real loud, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity and mercy on me.”
Well, all the church folk started to shout with him believing for a mircacle.
Not!
Mark 10:48 (Amplified Bible)48And many [a]severely censured and reproved him, telling him to keep still, but he kept on shouting out all the more, You Son of David, have pity and mercy on me [now]
The religious folk hate it when you holler and shout for Jesus. Religion prizes dignity over the Divine.
Baritmaeus would have none of it. The more they told him to keep quiet the louder he got.
You know, sometimes you have to open your mouth and shout unto the Lord.
Mark 10:49 (Amplified Bible)49And Jesus stopped and said, Call him. And they called the blind man, telling him, Take courage! Get up! He is calling you.
It’s your cry of faith that will stop Jesus in His tracks. He reacts to faith and faith spoken.
Faith speaks.
Faith acts.
Faith is not released in thought. It is released in our confession and our actions.
Buddy, Jesus reacts to faith.
Then a strange thing happened that I used to always wonder about.
Mark 10:50 (Amplified Bible)50And throwing off his outer garment, he leaped up and came to Jesus.
Have you ever wondered why the Holy Spirit pointed out that he threw off his outer garment?
In those days beggars wore a certain garment that signified they were beggars.
Baritmaeus threw it off because he knew that he knew he wasn’t going to begging no more!
Praise God!
And Jesus healed him!
Friend, let your faith have action.
Speak the Word.
Shout for joy!
Throw off that beggar’s garment and do a Holy Ghost jig because you know that you know you have what He says you have.
By His stripes you are healed.
He supplies all your needs through Christ Jesus!
You are a new creature in Christ!
Now, act like it is so and Praise God!

Iraq In The End Times
As we speak Iraq is being rebuilt. It will play a prominent role in the last days of planet earth as we know it.
It will be the headquarters of the Antichrist, as well as, the headquarters for demon spirits and false religion.
Revelation 18:1-8 (New King James Version) 1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily[a] with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached[b] to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Render to her just as she rendered to you,[c] and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. 7 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ 8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges[d] her.
In the last of the last days the sin of mankind will have reached its zenith.
Man will totally reject God and His Messiah Jesus Christ. Jesus will be replaced with worship of the Antichrist and love of self.
Out of this sinful state will come all sorts of perversions.
We can see the beginning stages of all of this now. Man has utterly rejected Christ. Apostasy has taken a foothold in the church.
However, there is a remnant of believers. Thank God for men and women of God who refuse to water down the blood bought Spirit filled message of Jesus Christ just so they don’t offend anybody.
God is merciful. Soon all believers will be raptured up out of this earth to be with Jesus.
Even in those last days God shows mercy. There will be those that turn to Christ during the tribulation period.
God calls them out of Babylon in verse four.
He will always warn His people before judgment comes.
But, the question is will we listen?

Faith: Your Role To Play In Receiving Your Miracle
Did you know you have a role to play in receiving from God?
It is true. In fact, you have a vital role to play.
You see, Jesus has done all that He is ever going to do for you at the Cross.
At the Cross he bought you salvation, redeemed you from the curse of the Law, and solidified the New Covenant.
He now sits at the right hand of the Father because His work is done.
“Well, how do I get my miracle then?”
By faith.
We see this in the Gospels. Jesus came across a Father who had a demon possessed son.
The demon would cause the son to throw himself into fires and into water. Demons are behind all mental illness, all insanity, and all that tries to destroy our children. The devil does not play fair.
Mark 9:21-23 (New King James Version)21 So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. 22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” 23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe,[a] all things are possible to him who believes.”
Notice, that Jesus turned the responsibility back on to the Father when he stated “If you can believe,[a] all things are possible to him who believes.”
You see, we appropriate all of the benefits of the Cross by our faith. Salvation, healing, prosperity, peace and so on were paid for with our Savior’s blood.
That was His part.
Our part is to appropriate them by faith.
“How do I get faith?”
Romans 10:17 (New King James Version)17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Faith only comes by hearing the Word of God.
If the Word is not being preached at your Church you are not going to have faith.
When you confess the Word over your situation you are building your faith because you are hearing the Word.
Listening to good teaching tapes builds your faith.
Build your faith.
Do your part.
Receive your benefits!
