Hollywood media continues to fascinate more and more so many of this generation by making movies as well as software companies developing video games such as the “walking dead” based on monsters in search of fresh blood. Yet, there is a generation, lovers of God, emerging in the earth as matured sons and daughters of God. These are the ones, who have been bought and recognize the power of the blood of the lamb – Jesus Christ over them. In addition, they are the true walking alive generation, made new creatures through Christ, as true testimony of Jesus’ redemption to all creation. As end-time sons and daughters of the living God, they are being activated as well as empowered from the secret place in intimacy with the Holy Spirit who teaches them all things of walking a godly life. These are the bride ones spoken in the book of Song of songs, which says “Who is this who comes up from the wilderness leaning upon her beloved? (Song of Solomon 8:5 AMP) . The beloved one is the bridegroom – Jesus Christ, full of grace and full of truth.
For centuries, many of God’s children have been hidden in Him, unknown among a lost generations, while holding on His promises. They are like seeds that have been through intense winters of life, and now are blossoming in the spring season of God’s timing. As the winter of bondage of sin was conquered at the cross, through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ , all creation is crying out more than ever for the manifestation of not new born baby believers in Him, but for the ones whose heart is all His as matured sons and daughters of God. Their influence does not affect or it is limited only in the church arena, but also in all spheres of society, such as in the social media, finances, politics and education.
Who are these matured ones? These are the ones who have the right perspective of God and loves Him above all things as well as hates what He hates. These are the ones, who through deep intimacy with the Holy spirit, have capture their identity in Christ, walking alive as ambassadors of Gods kingdom in the earth. Now they are in a process of, instead of trying harder to achieve something from or to God, learning to yield more and more to the person of Holy Spirit. Consequently, they receive the gift of God of being constantly thirsty and hungry for more of Him, as they recognize that only Him can satisfy their soul.
” For as you yielded your bodily members [and faculties] as servants to Him …so now yield your bodily members [and faculties] once for all as servants to righteousness (right being and doing) [which leads] to sanctification”. (Romans 6:19 AMP)
The word of God is alive in the heart of this emerging generation lovers of God. Their dependency of standing strong in the faith is not based on Sunday meetings at church or of the preacher’s message alone. Their dependency is in being filled with the Holy Spirit from Monday through Sunday, learning to grow in the truth as they apply His word in their daily lives. There is no distraction, or lie or deceitful spirit capable of diminishing their love from the Master, since they have already recognized that they are dead to themselves and now are made alive by the power of the Spirit of God. In addition, these are the ones who are not ashamed of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, but boldly shine the light of God from within just like the sun in contrast to the moon that does not have light or power to generate light from itself.
“And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing]. (Revelation 12:11 AMP)”
At a young age, I remember hearing a powerful messages at one of the most exciting conferences that I ever experienced. Such conference was not based in the gathering of a particular denomination, but of a tremendous move of God for the unity of His people from many different churches down in Brazil. The main focus was to know Jesus more and to have a deeper encounter with Him alone. The main theme was also to promote the establishment of His Kingdom on the earth through the unity of Gods people instead of promoting a specific denomination. The preacher of one of the nights was a special american missionary, a giant in the grace of God called Jack Schisler, who has already left to be with the Lord. The message was simple, and yet very powerful, regarding the importance of us knowing the truth deeply enough to discern well between what is true and what is false. As an analogy, the missionary pulled out a dollar bill from his pocket and used it in his message. He would go on explaining of how to know a true dollar bill from a false one. He mentioned key characteristics such as its texture and printing colors of one. He also pointed out details such as the security thread (a plastic strip) running from top to bottom of the bill. The focus of the message was not about money, but for every believer to have a deeper knowledge of the truth of God that sets us free from all that it is false in order to live a life of righteousness that attracts His presence in us. Such knowledge of the truth was dependent on an intimate relationship with the person of the word of God – Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. As long as each person could better identify the elements of a true dollar bill for instance, the quicker he or she would be able to run away from what it is false. At the end of the message, the call was for those who were seriously willing to make a covenant of going deeper in relationship with God above all things. Such teaching was like a sword piercing my soul and capturing my spirit. My spiritual eyes were opened to the importance of seeking a deeper conviction on my own to the knowledge of God and of His word in a new way.
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Col 3:16
As it is in the natural, so it is in the spiritual, where darkness is the result of the absence of light. In order for darkness to prevail over the light, the only way is to try to diminish the light. In the spiritual realm, light is seen as revelation of the truth of the word of God, given to men to live in faith in Him. Since the old tricks of the enemy have always been the same since creation,accusations, lies and deceitful thoughts or words are its main weapons in order to block such light into human heart (revelation of the truth). The revelation of God’s word is meant to be experienced by every born again believer in Christ, as each one grows in learning to believe and to be filled with the person of the Holy Spirit. As a counter attach , the devil seeks to remove any faith of or from God as well as to diminish the love for Christ in these last days. One of the most popular ways the enemy does this is even through many distractions (global informationconnection) for the soul entertainment even in the church. It all comes to avoid believers from seeking the kingdom of God first, spending time in worship and prayer as well as reading and receiving strength from His word. In addition, to learn to yield to the most misunderstood person called the Holy Spirit. Many have not understood and have treaded the Holy Spirit as a thing instead of a person that loves to fill us with His presence as well as to dialog with us.
“But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you. ” John 14:26
In summary, the time has come where God is activating His bride with the kiss of intimacy in preparation for the Bridegroom Jesus Christ in His weeding day. Such intimacy again is developed through a deep relationship with the person of the Holy Spirit in the secret place in God. As the awareness of the secret place is embraced by many born again in Christ, activation of walking in the the power of the Holy Spirit is manifested. The alive ones as a result, are tremendously used as channel of life for the “walking dead” generation lost without God. Even as this world gets darker in corruption, many of God’s children are emerging brighter than the sun ever before as His praise in the earth. Eventually, Instead of us seeing more “walking dead” people dead in their sin being eternally lost, more souls are redeemed by the blood and truth of Jesus Christ, the One who loves us and gave us life in Him through all eternity.
“So Jesus said to them, “For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes. ” -John 12:35
“And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be filled and stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit. [Prov. 23:20.] Speak out to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, offering praise with voices [and instruments] and making melody with all your heart to the Lord, At all times and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father. Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)”. (?Ephesians? ?5?:?18-21? AMP)
“[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross]. ” (Colossians 2:15 AMP)
