Rising Up From The Ashes

March 28, 2000

THE IMPRESSION

In the coming days, there will rise up in various nations, in different
cities and communities,  strong group of Christian with different spiritual
and vocational giftings, and God will sovereignly networked them to work
together not just in uplifting the spiritual condition of the land but even
to help share their different skills and  expertise  and used them as tools
in building up the community.

In the past, the enemy has been using the Babel type of community  building
where it was mostly individualized  and often identified to specific group
and even person. But the building of the Lord in these last days will be
totally different and unique. It will be in the type of Nehemiah where
everybody whom the Lord called and touched will response and will become
part of the rebuilding.

For the first time, the world will see Christian men and women whose lives
God will use as a showcase. In the past, the unbelieving world has look down
upon us because even thought we have not been lacking in preaching God's
word, we have been short in living it out.

But the Lord has been quickening my heart for many months and I see the body
of Christ rising up to the challenges of the time. God will cause His
defeated body to rise up from the ashes, and like the vision of Ezekiel and
the valley of dead bones, when the Spirit of God blows upon us and resurrect
us, we will stand and glow with the glory of the Resurrected Christ Himself.

Different centers will rise up in various cities and nations. These centers
will be taken care of by men and women of God who has no motive but to serve
and willing to remain nameless and faceless and willing to come and go at
the shortest notice.  They will not hold on to anything or be dependent on
anybody but the Lord will be their provider.

People of God, rejoice and geared yourself for this wonderful time of
sending out. God is at the head of this party and His angels are busy
preparing everything even at this point of time. Many of His pioneering
servants are all packed and ready to go to this exciting trip ahead of them.

A little longer and all things will become more and more clearer. The next
three years will see a greater unfolding of all these and by that time, many
centers in various land would have risen up and made known to the nations.
None of these centers would need to advertise themselves. God Himself will
trumpet their presence and people from all over the nations including head
of state, king and queen will flock to see what all these are about.

RHEMA PROMISES

Isaiah 2:2-3

In the last days the mountain of the Lord's temple will be established as
chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all
nations will stream to it.

Many people will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the
Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that
we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the
Lord from Jerusalem.


Isaiah 60:1-4,5b,7b,10a-12,16,17b-18,22

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon
you. See darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.

Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your
sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the arm.

The wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the
nations will come. They will be accepted as offerings on my altar, and I
will adorn my glorious temple.

Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you. Your
gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night, so that
men will bring you the wealth of the nations - their kings led in triumphal
procession. For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish;
it will be utterly ruined.

You will drink the milk of nations and be nursed at royal breasts. Then you
will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of
Jacob.

I will make peace your governor and righteousness your ruler. No longer will
violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders,
but you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise.

The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation.
I AM THE LORD; IN ITS TIME I WILL DO THIS SWIFTLY.

GOD WORDS TO US

" My faithful children, do not fear for I have not forgotten you. I have
seen your sowing, I have taken note of your sacrifices for me, just a little
longer and things will began to change before you.

Like Jacob at Bethel, you will see my angels coming up and down from heaven
to bring My provision to you and to prepare the way for you.

Like Joseph, you will be brought before Pharaoh and my glory will shine
forth from you. Do not worry about what you are to say for when the time
comes, I will put the word in your mouth.

Like Nehemiah, you will find favors before your leaders. I will moved the
heart of earthly leaders and will cause them to issue decrees that will
worked in your favor so that My kingdom's work will be hastened.

What has taken years before will now be accomplished in weeks and months.
The cloud of my glory is descending, it is heavy and about to be pour down
upon you. You don't have to run around to seek these clouds, it will come to
you where you are, to those whose heart has been harkened unto me, the
clouds will come to you and will rest upon your homes.

There will be no more running around chasing for My glory for My glory will
be resting upon my people and many will be drawn to you because of the glory
resting upon you.

Even your young children will reflect my glory, what I've spoken in Joel
will become more and more real soon.

Enter into your inheritance; I have assigned you your portion and your cup,
your lot is secure in me. Your boundary line has fallen in pleasant places.
(Psalm 16:5-6) No one will be able to steal them from you. You will not need
to labor to enter into your inheritance for I will bring your inheritance to
you."


May these words encourages us to hold on to all the promises given to us
individually and corporately by our Faithful God.
