God is preparing to do some very big things in the earth

God is preparing to do some very big things in the earth. In fact he's preparing to do the biggest things that he has EVER done in the earth. The best quote I can give from the Bible about this last move of God that is soon to sweep the earth, is from the mouth of Jesus when he was here: "The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me" (Mat. 11:5,6). Actually the very beginning of the final outpouring of God's Spirit has already begun, and many of God's people have already been offended in the way that God has chosen to move, and who he has chosen to move through. All I can say my friend, is look for a WHOLE LOT MORE to be offended by if you are able to be offended. God is not going to do things the way that ANYONE wants him to do it. He is going to do things the way HE wants to do it. And I've got news for you, and it isn't new. Listen to what God said about Jesus, and about how his people would receive him, hundreds of years before he came: "And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem" (Isa. 8:14). So why were the religious leaders and those who followed them offended by Jesus? It's simple really. First of all he was not of any of their affiliations, and second of all he only did things and said things that were from God, and THEY were not of God! That is exactly what Jesus told them too: "He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God" (Jn. 8:47). The truth is that God's people have not been taught according to his word, and I can tell you that his word is going to be declared fully far and wide. It will be like it was when Jesus was here, and if you're stuck on the religious traditions of the day, you will surely be offended. Not only will God work through people that will be a disappointment to the way his people want it to be, but they will not be preaching things that are agreeable with what everyone has accepted as being the word of God. Just like Jesus, and just like the prophets of old. If I've said it once, I've said it ten thousand times: NOTHING EVER CHANGES! Never has.

So what is the safe route to take to not be overthrown by God's final move upon the earth? Be blind. That has always been the safe thing: "The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined" (Isa. 9:2). "Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent ? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?" (Isa. 42:19). "And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth" (Jn. 9:39). So then, what does it mean to be blind according to this defining of being blind? It simply means that you don't conclude anything that God has not revealed to you, and that you know what it means for God to actually reveal something to you. In other words you don't think that you know something that you don't know. The quoted prophecy from Isaiah of Jesus says that he was both blind and perfect. Jesus did not speak anything unless it came directly from his Father, and that is why he was never wrong. "Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him" (Jn. 7:16-18). He truly fulfilled the proverb that says, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding... Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil" (Prov. 3:5,7). And those who are able to "endure unto the end" and be saved, will also fulfill those words of truth (Mat. 24:11-13). Those who lean on their own understanding which has been forged by the traditions of modern Christianity, will not be able to endure till the end, nor be saved; as is evidenced by the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25. And these two states of God's people in the end time will also fulfill the same words that were spoken of how Jesus would be received: "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain" (Isa. 40:4). "And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against... that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed" Lk. 2:34,35). It is high time my friend for all who hope to meet the Lord Jesus Christ with confidence and peace at his coming, to get very seriously real with God. For how we meet his final and greatest move in the earth will mean everything to how we meet his second coming. Amen.
