For a number of years God has been speaking to me, graphically revealing to me what is going to take place in the not-too-distant future when He will begin to move in ways that man, including churchman, will not believe.  Professing Christianity would laugh me to derision if they read what you are about to read.  Those who stay with me will learn that what the prophets and apostles did as recorded in the Testaments were mere shadows of what the Lord will do through His modern day apostles.  And He will do what He does out in the open for all the world to see.  The entire world will watch via television, the internet and whatever else man can come up with.   For years I have been saying that all these things would take place in the distant future.  No more.  This generation is about to see the power of God on display.  But man, including churchman, will not accept God’s acts as coming from Him.  God prepared me for this reality several years ago when I prayed for a woman and she was instantly healed.  This pillar in “the church” then accused me of using witchcraft to heal her.  She died not long after that for NO MEDICAL REASON.  God not only showed me that He was going to kill her, but how and why.  And it happened exactly as He said it would.  He killed her because, as He said to me, “She will not believe your words.” He then gave me a vision describing how He would kill her.  That was not the only time He told me what He was going to do, then did it, resulting in the sudden, unexplainable deaths of physically healthy people.  Why the harsh treatment?  Because, as God made clear in the previous series, by doubting His Words they proved that they HATED BOTH HIM AND HIS SON.  All others within Catholicism/Protestantism are exactly like them.  As the Lord said, some people’s sins are known now.  Others’ sins will be known later.  Some of the God haters are the world’s premiere religious leaders who will have led millions of people to Satan under the guise of leading them to Christ.  But God always has a remnant of true saints who believe and obey Him.  The Very Elect among these will be used in powerful ways before His return.

Jesus foretold what is coming in John 14:12 when He said: “Verily, verily I say unto you, he who believes in Me (which entails obeying Him), the things I do He will do also, AND GREATER THINGS THAN THESE HE WILL DO because I go to the Father.”  What did the MAN Jesus of Nazareth do?  He raised the dead, healed the sick, cast out demons, walked on water, multiplied food, knew men’s thoughts, killed a tree with His Words, quieted a storm, knew the unknowable, forgave sins, turned water into wine and foretold future world events in detail.  Faith is the key to doing the impossible, which is what Jesus and His apostles did.  Great faith will be required to do “… even greater things than these ….”  True faith also requires WORKS OF FAITH (Jam. 2: 10,14,17,18,20,24,26).  The world will watch His true saints do those works of faith.

We will now begin our study of what God has declared to be Truth, but which religious man declares to be nonsense.  Never in the history of mankind has man, including churchman, believed so little of what is in the Holy Bible.  Churchmen refuse to profess faith in God’s Word because to admit believing Him would require the believer to obey Him–do “WORKS” of faith.  This is what separates true (spiritually alive) Christians from fake (spiritually dead) Christians.  “Faith without works (obedience) is dead” faith.  Man lives by faith.  Faith is a spiritual entity.  Dead faith=a spiritually dead person.  For the Word of God to be one’s Walk of life one must have the “faith of Christ” which God will give to those who earnestly seek it (Rom. 3:22).  Without it, we cannot do “… the things that I (Jesus) have done and even greater things than these ….”  Let us begin to examine the promises He made to those who will believe and obey Him.  It is His will that man do what is commanded of him so that He (God) can bless him.  GOD MADE HIS PROMISES VOLUNTARILY BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BLESS MANKIND. 

The first indication of man’s promised power is found in Genesis 1:26 where we find God saying: “Let us make man in Our image and in Our likeness, AND LET THEM (MANKIND) HAVE DOMINION (absolute control) over the fish of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, over the cattle (all animals) and over ALL THE EARTH, AND OVER EVERY MOVING THING THAT MOVES ON THE EARTH.”  Adam (man) was given absolute power over the EARTH, the SEA, the SKY and over EVERYTHING THAT MOVES IN THE WATER, ON THE EARTH AND IN THE SKY ABOVE IT.  We know that Adam and Eve knew they had this power from reading verse 28 where God told them to “… subdue (control) THE EARTH and have dominion over THE FISH OF THE SEA, AND OVER THE FOWLS OF THE AIR, AND OVER EVERYTHING THAT MOVES ON THE EARTH.  In verse 31 we find God declaring that EVERYTHING HE HAD DONE was “VERY GOOD.”  Nowhere did He say that what was “very good” would exist only temporarily.  GOD DOES NOT CHANGE.  HE IS THE SAME YESTERDAY (AT CREATION), TODAY AND FOREVER.  HIS WILL FOR MANKIND DOES NOT CHANGE.  MAN CHANGES, THEN BLAMES THE INEVITABLE NEGATIVE RESULTS ON GOD.  Notice in 1:16,28 that God gives man absolute control over EVERYTHING THAT MOVES ON THE EARTH.  And as we will see, man’s dominion does not stop with things that move.

What you are reading and will read in the Scriptures is God’s will for those who love (obey) Him.  But there is a caveat (condition) connected to His promises.  We find it in 2:16,17 where He is telling Adam: “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat.  But of the tree of the KNOWLEDGE OF (BEING ABLE TO DETERMINE) GOOD AND EVIL, YOU SHALL NOT EAT, for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”  If Adam disobeyed God he would make himself a god, thereby replacing God.  The Law of Eden was simple: “GOD DETERMINES GOOD AND EVIL.  EATING OF THE TREE GIVES MAN THE POWER TO DETERMINE GOOD AND EVIL FOR HIMSELF.  GOD WILL KILL MAN SPIRITUALLY IF HE ASSUMES THAT POWER, FOR DOING SO IS IDOLATRY–TAKING THE PLACE OF GOD.  Simply put, Adam’s well-being and authority depended on his obedience to God.

Adam and Eve disobeyed God, thereby spiritually separating themselves from Him, rendering them spiritually dead.  Read Isaiah 59:2.   With the exception of a minutely few, their descendants have followed in their spiritual footsteps.  Just as God removed Adam and Eve from the Garden and nullified His promises to THEM, unregenerate man is still separated from God’s will for their lives, and for the same reason–sin–disobedience to His Law (1 Jn. 3;4).  Read Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 to find God telling man that he can receive His promises IF HE WILL OBEY HIS (GOD’S) WORD/LAW/GOSPEL/ TRUTH/WILL/LIGHT.  EVEN THEN, DURING OLD TESTAMENT TIMES, GOD WAS TELLING MAN THAT HE COULD RECLAIM WHAT ADAM AND EVE LOST THROUGH SIN.  Recall that the Apostle Paul said that God’s dealings with Israel were recorded and preserved for “OUR instruction.”  “Our” referred to God’s people “upon whom the ends of the world have come”–THE END-TIME CHURCH (1 Cor. 10:11).  L.J.
