What God Is Saying (Living Faith)

Without God this world has no hope. I didn't say that, the Bible does. Jesus was sent by the Father to give humanity hope – in every way for every thing. Bible hope is not being positive or just thinking good thoughts; it is not wishing or wanting. Hope is a confident joyful Expectation of good from God. It is essential to the life of faith for faith is the confidence of what we Hope for. Hope is powerful and having it causes us to abound . .

Jesus told us specific signs to look for before His return and they will occur exactly how and when He said. The final event, which is actually the final sign of His Second Coming, is the repentance of Israel and their reception of Jesus as Messiah - whom as a nation they have rejected for nearly 2000 years. At very moment when they are about to be completely wiped out by the armies of the Antichrist, they call on Him to save them and repent of their unbelief. And He does! On, the mercy of God! As Isaiah prophesied, He will wash and rinse away their sin of shedding His Blood . . What God is going to do with Israel in the End is what He has already made available for us now. Repent and believe the Good News about Jesus! Your sins will be washed away and you will become a new creation in Christ . .

It was The Father's love for men who had sinned that required Christ die in our place, for the pay for sin is death. Nobody involved in crucifying Jesus will get any credit for doing so, because they did it for their own wrong purposes. Yes, it was the Jews who pierced Him – by the hand of the Romans. Scripture says this. The Romans were the gun, the Jews pulled the trigger. But when Jesus comes again (not dead at all) Israel will have repented of their unbelief, having called on Jesus as Messiah. God is so merciful He will then deliver the nation of Israel and destroy all their enemies . .

Jesus told us specific signs to look for before His return and they will occur exactly how and when He said. The final event which is actually the final sign of His Second Coming is the repentance of Israel and their reception of Jesus as Messiah - whom as a nation they have rejected for nearly 2000 years. Israel is called Jacob when they are in Unbelief. But by the end of the Tribulation they will repent and believe, and at the very moment they are about to be completely destroyed by the armies of the nations gathered for Armageddon – Jesus comes as King. Which will usher in the Millennium reign of Christ, His Bride and His Tribulation Saints. Hallelujah!

Jesus answered a few specific questions His disciples asked Him concerning the Last Days. His answers should interest anybody interested in Bible prophecy. They are not conjecture or guesswork, but are quite plain and straightforward, of course agreeing with the rest of Scripture. Especially the books of Daniel and Revelation. God put teachers and preachers in the Body of Christ so that the Anointing on them would teach us what we need to know. As you listen, bring your faith and expect God's Spirit to enlighten your heart with His Word . .

Jesus detailed for us signs and events leading up to His Second Coming. The events of the Mid-Tribulation are some of the last sign-posts before Jesus' Return in power and glory at the end of the Great Tribulation. When we put His words together with the prophet Daniel and the book of Revelation, we find the Bible to be so comprehensive and consistent, only God could have inspired it. That's a big part of why Prophecy is given in the Bible - because only the One True God could dictate the future to us with such accuracy. No hocus-pocus going on here. Just an all knowing God telling us the future in advance so we'd learn to trust Him in even the minutest details of our own life now . .

In the Olivet Discourse Jesus answered 3 specific questions from His disciples about the Last Days. Most believers read Matthew 24 with a vague understanding of generalities, but Jesus actually answered them specifically and sequentially. Jesus described world events and conditions occurring after His ascension and before the Millenium. Plainly and comprehensively. I absolutey love it! Because these are the days we are in right now . .

When Jesus talked to His disciples about the time between His ascension and His return, He did not give Dates – He gave Signs. If you're only looking for dates on a calendar you very well might miss the signs of our times. Tonight we continue looking at the signs that preceded the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem in 70AD and the Second Coming of Christ in His own words. Which are SO comprehensive! Hallelujah! It is difficult to fit into one sermon. So we will continue to take our time in clearly understanding the Olivet Discourse . .

Jesus told us to Look Up when we begin seeing the signs of His Second Coming. Because a Sign is something you can See, the phrase Jesus used repeatedly was "When you see...". In fact He gave us many signs to look for. Jesus sermon on the Mount of Olives (see Matt 24-25, Mark 13, Luke 21) was Christ's answer to the disciples' 3 Questions regarding 3 Sets of Signs for 3 Different Events. Today we harmonize these Gospel chapters and unfold their questions in order to grasp Jesus' answer . .

The Biblical signs of our time are all telling us Jesus is Coming Soon! And Sooner than ever before! Still, the first thing the Holy Spirit through the apostle Peter told us to know about the last days is that scoffers and mockers would come. They would reason that since Jesus hasn't come yet that He won't come at all. As believers, we are not called to prove the Word true – we're all called to Believe it. Our expectation of Christ's return helps us live godly lives right now. And when He does come, He wants us Looking Up . .

Just because the Signs of Jesus coming back are all around us does not mean everyone will be expecting Him to come back. Seeing the signs of the times, even seeing miracles right in front of you doesn't force you to believe – it forces you to Decide. For God or against Him. Believing is a Choice and you can choose to believe or not. This is how God wants it. He wants us choosing to believe every day and Looking For His return as a demonstration of our faith. Hallelujah!

Scripture tells us that as the events of the Last Days unfold, we will see specific Signs being fulfilled. These signs are indicators of our times and the nearness of Christ's Second Coming. Hallelujah! We don't have to get spooky about the signs of the times, we just have to look where and for what Jesus told us to look. And if you know what He said you can see the signs all around us, inspiring us to Look Up! for His soon return . .

Faith has a Focus. In all the distress and unrest of the Last Days, faith does not deny the bad – it turns our expectation heavenward. To the only one who can truly do anything about the mess men have created on earth. Jesus is our Deliverer and Redeemer. In these last of the last days, Jesus specifically told us to Look Up. Why. Because some thing is coming : our Redemption! Some One is coming : Jesus! And His Reward is with Him! He is looking for Faith when He comes. If we want to go [with Him] we should be looking for Him . .

These last days haven't taken God by surprise. Anybody who reads and believes the Bible knows God told us long ago what to expect before we even got here. Dangerous days and perilous times, worldwide tribulations and constant persecutions. The Last Days are filled with reasons to watch out and be on guard. But just because God warns us about the difficulties of our time doesn't mean that's what He wants us Focused on. When the world is in distress, God always has something He wants His people looking at and / or looking forward to. Faith says what God says and faith looks where God says to look. Faith has a Focus. And in these last of the last days, Jesus told us to Look Up. Why. Because some thing is coming, our redemption. Some One is coming. Jesus! And His reward is with Him! He is looking for Faith when He comes. If we want to be ready we should be looking for Him . .

Christians have a bad habit of using Bible words differently than how the Bible uses them. It causes confusion and error. Though people call many things "prophetic" the Bible uses that word in a specific way. For something to be truly "prophetic" that means it is of or pertaining to the Prophet's ministry or the gift of prophecy. We should say what the Bible says . .

If something really is a true prophetic word, the Bible tells us what you're supposed to do with it – HOLD FAST to it. When you're holding fast to prophetic word you are given from God - it strengthens, comforts and encourages you in faith. It takes faith to be faithful. To have faith you have to have a Word from God. If you got a Word - you got a Victory! If you will hold fast to it . .

The Bible tells us to eagerly desire the greater gifts of the Spirit. But do we? I'm talking about believers. We are told even to especially desire to prophesy. Because he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. Hallelujah!

Prophecy is one of the primary gifts of the Spirit throughout all of Scripture. God doesn't want us to be without teaching concerning these gifts. But did you know most Christians are very ignorant of them. The gift of Prophecy occurs on various levels of Expression and Authority. It is nothing to be scared about, because there is a proper Scriptural understanding and operation of it for us today . .

The Bible is a supernatural book intended to change men supernaturally, from the inside out. Yet most of the people who call themselves Christians deny the Gifts and Power of the Spirit and the authority of true Ministry that would affect this change. Is there a connection between such wrong beliefs and the lack of effectiveness Christians have in the earth for God. Certainly, there is. Expect the God-Effect! Pastor Nicholas Word Resources – Ministry home site : https://www.muchgrace.church/ Prophet's book : https://www.tribulation-saints.com/ Pastor's book : https://simplicityofchrist314608717.wordpress.com/

There are different levels of expression and authority in the gift of prophecy because there are differences in rank and graces in the Body of Christ. In the ministry of a prophet for example oftentimes prophecy includes 2 of the 3 revelation gifts - word of wisdom, word of knowledge, discernings of spirits. But you don't have to be a prophet to prophecy by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit . .

The ministry of the Prophet is given a very special place in both the Old and New Testaments. Scripture itself comes to us by the Holy Spirit through Apostles and Prophets. The Prophecy of Scripture is God's very own love–Testimony of His Son, Jesus Christ. And even though Scripture is not still being written, the Prophet's ministry is still with us today. Hallelujah!

God has something to Say, He's been saying it consistently for thousands of years. And if you don't have what He's saying in you - if something else is coming up outa you - you'll miss the whole boat and it won't be good. What is God saying? JESUS! The Messiah Savior and Messiah King, the Lamb of God and the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Seed of Abraham and the Seed of David. The Testimony of JESUS is the spirit of Prophecy . . Pastor Nicholas Word Resources – Ministry home site : https://www.muchgrace.church/ Prophet's book : https://www.tribulation-saints.com/ Pastor's book : https://simplicityofchrist314608717.wordpress.com/

Prophecy is inspired utterance from the Holy Spirit in a known tongue. Just as Tongues are Holy Spirit inspired utterance in an unknown tongue. Prophecy does not have to be predictive or foretelling or even spooky. The simplest level of prophecy is giving inspired Testimony. True testimony edifies exhorts and comforts. Every believer can prophecy because every Christian can testify of what they have seen and heard Christ do in their lives . .

A lot of times when we think of Prophecy we only think of the highest and most extreme examples. Such as the prophecy of Scripture or the word of a prophet. But the simple gift of prophecy can be defined as inspired utterance from the Holy Spirit in a known language. Its purpose is to edify encourage and comfort, so the Bible itself says. It is a Gift of the Spirit we should be benefiting from every day . .

Prophecy is one of the 9 gifts of the Spirit spoken of in 1 Corinthians 12-14 and elsewhere in Scripture. God doesn't want us to be without teaching concerning these gifts. But did you know most Christians are very ignorant of them. The gift of Prophecy occurs on a variety of levels of Expression and Authority. It is nothing to get spooked about, because there is a proper Scriptural understanding and operation of it for us today . .
