Prophecy: 'There Will Soon Be an Explosion of My Power!'

7/23/2017 BILL YOUNT  CHARISMA NEWS

I said to the Lord on Sunday morning, "The gunshots we are hearing daily on the news are so grieving." The Lord said, "There will soon be an explosion of My power that will be heard around the world that will bring salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. This explosion will interrupt news reporters and the media."

What I sense I am seeing is only a part of what this explosion will do.

A great light will accompany this explosion, piercing gross darkness in the hearts of men. This explosive power will blow the scales off the eyes of the Jewish people, and they will run like prodigals to the mountain of the Lord. The sound of a shofar will roar like a lion, calling them home.

This great light will penetrate war zones, releasing the angel armies to war with heaven's most powerful weapon: God's love. I heard that familiar voice conversing with terrorists saying, "Why do you persecute Me?" (see Acts 9:4). Some angels were causing guns to jam and bullets to disappear, as a light brighter than the sun brought instant healing to their hateful hearts.

Certain areas of war zones became "fields of altars" as many blinded by the light were crying out, "Lord, what would You have me to do?" Many were surrendering to the Lord on the battlefield.

'Miraculous Testimonies' Surrounding Soldiers on the Battlefield

Angels were protecting some of these soldiers until the light broke through. Some died in battle. But as that bright light shone on their corpses, it was like someone had breathed life back into them, and they stood knowing they were new creatures. Hatred was gone and God's love had come.

Soldiers on both sides of the battlefield were being visited. Some soldiers, seeing their comrades who had died but were now alive, were in shock as the fear of the Lord came upon them. At first, the enemy tried his best to keep these testimonies as quiet as possible. But all the demons and powers of hell could no longer hold them back. For they were now overcoming the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony.

Journalists and news reporters at first were struck with unbelief as these miracles began to reach their ears. But as they kept hearing these unusual events, believing began eroding their doubts as soldiers reported seeing Jesus and were being healed of their battle wounds. Curiosity caused many journalist and reporters to listen to the rest of their stories. Slowly but surely, these unbelievable testimonies began breaking into the media and news outlets, touching the viewers and the readers of the late breaking news that could no longer be ignored.

God Says, 'Pray, Forgive and Bless'

I asked the Lord, "What caused this shift and turning in the hearts of men?" He said, "It's the prayers of My remnant in the earth who are praying with forgiveness in their hearts and blessing their enemies in the time of being persecuted for My namesake because that is My will.

"Praying, forgiving and blessing releases My Spirit to move on anyone. Many of My people have chosen which enemies to pray for and have decided which enemies are too far gone to be saved. But those who are filled with My love know that the real enemy is Satan, not flesh and blood; therefore, no one is too far gone."

If you think the terrorists are too far gone, read the story of Saul (see Acts 9), whose name became Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament. God wants to change many more names!

"Keep praying, keep forgiving and keep blessing in My name. The fuse has been lit."

ISRAEL TODAY COMMENTARY: Why Jesus Died Charles Gardner

COMMENTARY: Why Jesus Died

Persecution of the Jews – at least from those supposedly following Jesus – would perhaps have been largely avoided if the Church had fully understood the Messianic promises of the Tenach (Old Testament).

Biblical illiteracy among Christians (certainly in the West) is a major contributing factor to its present backslidden state, which is why I heartily recommend R T Kendall’s book Why Jesus Died, published in 2011 by Monarch.

Sadly, the demise of many Christian bookshops in Britain is the reason I have only just come across this profoundly inspiring meditation on Isaiah 53, with a foreword by Jews for Jesus associate executive director Susan Perlman.

The much-loved preacher specifically addresses Jews at various points, but the whole work, in my opinion, is more of a challenge to a sleepy church that has either forgotten or deliberately cut herself off from her Hebraic roots.

Lack of understanding of the fundamental truth that the Messiah had to die – it wasn’t principally the fault of the Jews, or the Romans – is what, in large measure, led to the pogroms perpetrated against God’s chosen people over the centuries.

It is true, of course, that Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor, handed Jesus over to be crucified, and that the Jewish chief priests consented to it. But Jesus died for our sins – so in that sense we all put him on the cross.

However, ultimately, it was God’s doing – as the Kentucky-born preacher so eloquently argues.

Isaiah wrote: “Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer…” (Isa 53.10)

And in the case of verse 6 of the chapter, Kendall calls it “the Bible in a nutshell”, rather as John 3.16 is often described.

The verse reads as follows: “We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

The author writes: “Isaiah 53.6 basically shows two things: that we are all sinners but God has shown his love by transferring the guilt of our sins to Jesus who has paid our debt.”

That many Jews still can’t see that this ancient prophecy is so clearly fulfilled in Jesus is a point of great frustration to many Christians. But as R T points out, it may seem obvious, but we all still need the Holy Spirit to give us the revelation we need on Scripture.

In summary, the passage under consideration speaks, not of a charismatic personality who would be immediately recognised for his dashing looks and regal qualities, but of a Messiah who was despised and rejected, afflicted, wounded and even “cut off from the land of the living”– despite the fact that “he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth”. But he would be raised to life and justify many by his sacrifice.

In acknowledging the part played by Jews in Jesus’ death, the author asserts that God has not washed his hands of them. He is ashamed of anti-Semitism in the church, including that of Reformation founder Martin Luther himself, which he believes was fuelled by the verse, _“All the people answered: ‘His blood is on us and on our children!’” _(Matthew 27.25)

Kendall’s view is that there is no clear evidence that they had authority to pass on a curse to successive generations of Jews.

“Although blindness came on Israel and God opened the door to Gentiles (Romans 11.7-12), the door has always been open to all people who would accept the gospel…I also believe with all my heart that the blindness now on Israel is about to be lifted, and that it won’t be merely dozens but hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions) of Jews who will be converted before the Second Coming of Jesus.”

This book is extremely edifying and enlightening, a ‘must read’ for all serious believers.

Susan Perlman calls it “a treasure trove of gems and practical applications” written with “such skill and biblical insight”.

And evangelist J John says of the title (Why Jesus Died): “This is the most important question to ask, and here is the most insightful and inspirational answer I have ever read.”

R T Kendall, now 82, was minister at the famous Westminster Chapel in London for 25 years and now lives in Tennessee, though he continues to make regular appearances on the TBN-UK television channel.

I Can’t Get No Satisfaction - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

I Can’t Get No Satisfaction

Now Think On This

Steve Martin

“Adonai will fulfill his purpose for me. Your grace, Adonai, continues forever. Don’t abandon the work of your hands!” (Psalms 138:8, Complete Jewish Bible)

So why is the average Joe, a typical representative of people in America, and other nations I would think, unhappy, unfulfilled, and always trying to put something in ourselves that won’t bring satisfaction.

You know, “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” (lyrics below, but please read after you have read my message) brought to us rather honestly in 1965 by the English rock band The Rolling Stones with lead singer Mick Jagger. (I know you have heard and listened to it. Don’t pretend you haven’t!)

One line is sung, “When I'm drivin' in my car, and the man come on the radio, he's tellin' me more and more about some useless information, supposed to fire my imagination.”  

How true is that even today with all the fake news out there! And yet we keep listening. Why?

Because we are trying to fill up something that wasn’t meant to be filled in this way.

So why are people unsatisfied? Why is there always a void in their heart, which they try to fill in natural and unnatural ways, with drugs to kill the resulting pain; alcohol to release away the inhibitions so one can be “free at last”; mindless TV shows that suck away our evening hours (and throughout the day), and unfaithful, out-of-marriage sex to cancel the craving?

Because man, created in the Lord’s image, runs from Him, the only One Who can give us what we want, and need.

We run as far as we can from the very One Who fulfills us. Believing He is a bad God, a mean God, out to destroy us, we end up destroying ourselves. We have bought into the complete lie of the devil, Satan himself. He is the father of Lies, to keep us from the Father of Love.

We seek our own ways, our own selfies, our cultured ideas of what it is all about, and we end up with nothing to last past the next day, week, or month. Then after looking back, we fully realize we have wasted all those years, the time that was given to us by our Creator, the Lord Jesus Himself, by having done our own thing. Just like everyone else.

But our Faithful Lord will not leave us in hopeless despair, in ruined lives, as desperately seeking housewives or renegade males. He has a big heart, and wants to share it with the hurting, the lost, the abandoned kids, and parents too. He alone has the truth, and the power, to do this.

Here is the truth He had written eons ago. Don’t skip or skim over it because it is Scripture. (I know we do at times.)

Read it. Believe it. It is for you. Right here. Right now.

From the Bible, the only solid ground and truth left that there is to stand on these days...

"This is God's Word on the subject: "As soon as Babylon's (or yours – I added that, yours, to let you know this is for you now) seventy years are up and not a day before, I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out — plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.

When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen. When you come looking for me, you'll find me.

Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed.” God's Decree.

“I'll turn things around for you. I'll bring you back from all the countries into which I drove you — God's Decree — "bring you home to the place from which I sent you off into exile. You can count on it.” (Jeremiah 29:10-14, THE MESSAGE).

What hope! What love! What a God we have, Who can bring you the satisfaction, the fulfillment in your heart, the desire to “be somebody” that you have so longed to be.

This same portion of Scripture, given to the Jews and being prophetically fulfilled in our lifetime in Israel, is also for those Gentiles (non-Jews) who will also call upon the Living God of Israel.

Even old believers, who have been searching for so long, can be refreshed, renewed and refired for the work He has yet for you to accomplish.

So what do you do now?

Call upon the name of the Lord, seek His face with all your heart that you have, and let His Holy Spirit, the Ruach HaKodesh (Hebrew) guide your steps to the next step. Right now is a good time.

Trust me. He is faithful. He will do it. And you will be glad you finally let Him take control of your life. 

You still have one to live.

Now think on this,

"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is a song by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released in 1965. It was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and produced by Andrew Loog Oldham. Richards' three-note guitar riff‍—‌intended to be replaced by horns‍—‌opens and drives the song. The lyrics refer to sexual frustration and commercialism.

The song was first released as a single in the United States in June 1965 and was also featured on the American version of the Rolling Stones' fourth studio album, Out of Our Heads, released that July. "Satisfaction" was a hit, giving the Stones their first number one in the US. In the UK, the song initially was played only on pirate radio stations, because its lyrics were considered too sexually suggestive.^[3] It later became the Rolling Stones' fourth number one in the United Kingdom.

In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine placed "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" in the second spot on its list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". The song was added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2006.

'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try

When I'm drivin' in my car, and the man come on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more about some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination

I can't get no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm watchin' my tv and a man comes on and tell me
How white my shirts can be
But, he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me

I can't get no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say

Israel , Christians

As I shared in the two previous articles, I see this “parable” unfolding right before our eyes today. I said the Scriptures revealed that God’s ultimate plan was to unite passengers from the two trains, the Jewish Train and the Gospel Train, when both pulled into the Jerusalem station after their centuries-long journey. Which I believe they have. And that Yeshua was about to get off here and we are to follow.

Sadly, Scripture also reveals that many on the Gospel Train won’t get off. They will remain seated and then suddenly find themselves heading off into the outer darkness… where “there’ll be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matt 8:5). Which will show they never were his followers to begin with. Or if they were, they have been deceived.

How could this happen?

Over the centuries, conductors had arisen on the Gospel Train who began to spiritualize the train’s purpose. The passengers were not told of the Jewish roots of their faith. Nor encouraged to believe “they were Abraham’s seed, heirs according to promise” (Gal. 3:29). Nor told of the glorious reunion in the promised land at journey’s end. But instead were taught the train ride itself was a new religion for Gentile believers, and that our final destination was Heaven. Even the gospel message was altered. And soon many were allowed to board the train who did not even know Yeshua.

Yet God’s spirit was still drawing those who were His to Messiah in every generation. And the train traveled on.

Things on the Jewish Train, however, were quite different. Those passengers never lost sight of their identity or their train’s ultimate destination. They never stopped hoping that “next year” it would arrive again in their beloved Jerusalem. They just couldn’t see how it was possible. So when it miraculously arrived in 1948 they were as amazed as the rest of the world. But the idea they would one day merge with the passengers on the other train was inconceivable. They remembered all too well previous encounters with what had become called “the Christian Train.” And those memories were painful.

But this is a new day. God has been hard at work in the hearts of many of Yeshua’s true followers to love and support Israel. And to repent of the times we did not intercede to help those on the Jewish Train when we could have. As a result, this recent unsolicited outpouring of Christian love has caused many Jews to have a change of heart about the people on the Gospel Train. And a new foundation of trust and good will has been laid to prepare us all for the coming reunion.

Although many lovers of Zion on the Gospel Train are now ready to disembark, the doors haven’t officially opened. God is giving all his regathered sheep time to awaken and realize this is our last stop. And to “come out of her My people” (Rev. 18:4). So, until the doors open we must wait. When they do, I believe it will be a divinely orchestrated event (Isa. 52:10-12) that will leave no doubt in anyone’s mind who Messiah is. And who Israel is.

But until then we are instructed to “take up the full armor of God, so that we will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm” (Eph. 6:13). But above all, be ready!

The doors will open right on time.
