A Mighty Rushing Wind

When you pray sometimes things come to mind from scripture that you have heard over and over again that are for people in need. The Holy Spirit is a person, and is alive and well. In thinking and praying for those children, women and men who have been kidnapped by ISIS, you wonder what their fate will be. Well the phrase that is coming to mind for them for prayer is "a mighty rushing wind." I'm certain these people are praying for God's intercession. Think about what 10,000,000 people could do to influence these situations around the world who believe in prayer through the name of Jesus...let alone 1! Prayer in Jesus' name gets things before the Father. It's where powerful intervention begins and ends. 

"And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting." (Acts 2:2 ESV)

Let's pray a mighty rushing wind comes over those in harms way in Jesus' name. 

The Importance of Being Born Again, The Shemitah, and the Lateness ofthe Hour

There are many who are speaking to the heart of the matter, and whose words and encouragement are focused on the main thing that matters. They are aware of and know the lateness of the hour and faithfully are warning and calling people to respond to the call of salvation in Jesus Christ. They are exposing the layers of lies and deception, and are shining the light in the darkness. I'm thankful for them. They are piercing the darkness. I've read the Bible and it speaks to the finger prints of God and His orderliness, and his faithfulness to bring us always into the light.  People are born into the dark, but they are not to remain in the dark...we are to be born again into light and then we are to be light in the dark. Yes, the end of all things is at hand. And If you are in the dark ( not born again or compromised living in sin without repentance) you most likely do not realize this or even believe that shaking is at hand. Judgement is at hand. How do we know? Apathy and deception in leadership, murdering of babies in the womb by the millions, drug, porn, alcohol addictions, no fear of God or faith in the hearts of men for this One God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, disrespect and dishonor toward boundaries within marriage, family and relationships of all kinds, hatred and anger within people groups toward other people groups, Man made religions, Bible Prophecy, Biblical warnings, signs in the heavens etc. I think of all the people who have come across my path in life: Wife and children, Family, friends, co-workers, teachers, coaches, and all the acquaintances, and simultaneously realizing what only God can reveal, that all that matters in those relationships is their soul's status with the Living God Jesus Christ. I think of my status with this most amazing God equally every day. I know the fight against my sin nature falling, getting back up again in repentance and trusting in Jesus alone to have the power to restore. Everyone has their own soul and life but the ultimate question is Are we Born Again? Are we right with God today? Am I and Are those I have not seen in years...are they in Christ and if so are they fighting the good fight of repentance and faith? Will all I know and care about be in the safety of Jesus when the door finally shuts and it is too late to believe in him? I pray humbly for us all and those even reading this whom I don't know but care about, because I know who I am and we are ( sinners saved by the grace of God and washed clean by the blood of Jesus) and I know who God is ( The Loving and Just Father, Son and Holy Spirit---Three in One Creator)  I don't know if we all realize who this God is equally. I pray that the miracle of being born again and being restored to a right relationship with Jesus Christ will happen today for all of us. It's His work to save us all. You can be saved and born into the light of Christ today in Jesus Name!! 

Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things? Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” (John 3:1-21 ESV)

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, (1 Peter 1:3 ESV)

since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; (1 Peter 1:23 ESV)

if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14 ESV)

This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (1 John 1:5-10 ESV)

Dialogue with Doug Hagmann and Jonathan Cahn

"If this was your last message, your last public address what would you tell to those who are listening. What would you say?" Doug Hagmann

"There have been several key foreshadows that have happened at the beginning of this current Shemitah. I have warned for a long time that if America does not turn back to God then the American age, as we know it, will come to an end. That's what the warning of the Shemitah is. The rise and fall of Nations is geared toward the coming of the Shemitah. And here we are in one now. The American age began in 1871 and became the strongest economic power on earth. The current Shemitah began at the very end of September 2014, and within first two weeks of the Shemitah beginning, the American age as we know it, has come to an end. America is no longer the strongest economic power on earth. That age is over. It's been supplanted by China. The crown has passed to China. The crown as the head of nations is beginning to pass. I believe this is going to open up the scenario of end time prophecy, because America is not the head of nations at the end. Now what do we do? There are people listening in America, and there are people listening all over the world. This has to do with everybody, because these things are going to touch the whole world. First of all I believe this-everything that can be shaken will be shaken- so what do we do? First of all, if you are not Born Again the message to you is this- if you're saying, "I want to be safe, how do I get safe....should I build a shelter...what do I do?" Well I would tell you this- in Hebrew the word for "safety" is Yeshua. And Yeshua is the name of Jesus. The safety, the only safety is in him. Outside of him there is no safety. Inside of him there needs to be no fear. So if you are not in Jesus, if your life is not in him, doesn't matter what your religion is, if you are not in him, If you are not Born Again you need to get Born Again. Secondly, if you are in him but there are things in your life, look at your life, if there are things in your life that are not in the will of God, that are outside of God's will the time is to get them out of your life now. Don't say tomorrow, the time is late. Whatever is outside the will of God is under judgment. And so do not share in judgment. Get those things out of your life now. Whatever God is calling you to get into your life the time to do that is now. Do it today- even before you go to bed. Start it now, take the first step, because the time is late. If we are watching the dark getting darker which is what is happening. If the dark is getting darker, then it's time for the light to get brighter. These are the days of Elijah. Well, we have to be the Elijahs of the day. Because the days of Elijah were days of apostasy and persecution. But Elijah stood strong. God is not looking for the many who are lukewarm now, but he is looking for the few who are on fire for God. You be that person, you who are listening- you be that person. You be that church. You be that people. And God will raise you up, and God will keep you. God will anoint you for such a time as this. These are prophetic times, and we must be prophetic people, and so if the people of God- the Church- had been the salt of the earth they were supposed to be to America it could never have gotten as rotten as it is.  If we had been the light to America it could have never gotten as dark, but God is now calling us to be great. You see these are the times that produce the greatest believers. So God is calling us to be great. To be great, you have to be bold, you have to get compromise out of your life, be uncompromised. Don't be intimidated by the darkness. Be stronger than ever. Be a light, and God will use you. The light that shines in the middle of the day, you know it's easy to shine, but you can't really see it. But the light that shines at night, you know it's harder to shine, because it goes against the grain, but it can light up the night. And God has called us to light up the night. So is there hope? Yes, as long as there is God there is hope. I don't believe that revival can happen without shaking now. I believe that revival can happen through shaking, but we have to be the leaders of revival, and that's why it says, "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven, Forgive their sin, and heal their land." We have to be that people. We need to pray for revival, but not just revival, but we need to start living in revival. Not just praying for it but living it. Start the revival now, and God and you, a remnant, who are listening can change the world." Jonathan Cahn - Hagmann and Hagmann Report 2/18/15
