    There has been much written about this event,

    and many questions posed. What is the rapture?

    Can I be saved after the rapture, the mark of the

    beast, the person of the Antichrist, What happensafter the rapture, Jesus spoke many things

    concerning the last days and the culture of the

    world before and at His coming. The world is

    preparing for this event because God hasordained it, in many instances they dont even

    know they are moving in this direction.

    Our battlegrounds are becoming much more

    deceptive or not easily recognized as this

    spiritual warfare intensifies. Everyone who is

    called of God must answer the call from their

    position in Christ. Obviously the final state of

    that is found in the predestination of the

    called to be conformed to the image of Christ

    Isaiah 33:6 and wisdom and knowledge shallbe the stability of thy times, and the strength

    of thy salvation

    I want to address just the spiritual battle

    during this portion, there are several issues

    surrounding the last days, the world of

    course and Israel of course. I want to look atthe signs inside the church that are prohibitive

    in nature to our walk.

    False Prophets and Christ Matt 24

    Delusion Matt 24:5,11

    Betrayal inside of the church Matt 24:10

    Love of many waxing cold Matt 24:12 Independence Matt 22

    Some will say that we are preaching too hard, orcalling for a commitment above and beyond,

    however for me it is simply a love for the truth,which I am depending on to help me during theperfect storm

    Ezekiel 13:3-7 (King James Version)

    3Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, thatfollow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

    4O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.

    5

    Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge forthe house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.

    6They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith:and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others tohope that they would confirm the word.

    7Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying

    divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have notspoken?

    13Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it witha stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowingshower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury toconsume it.

    14So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed withuntempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, sothat the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shallfall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and yeshall know that I am the LORD.

    15

    Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and uponthem that have daubed it with untempered morter, and willsay unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubedit;

    Ezekiel 13:10-15 (King James Version)

    10Because, even because they have seduced mypeople, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; andone built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with

    untempered morter:

    11Say unto them which daub it with untemperedmorter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowingshower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and astormy wind shall rend it.

    12Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said untoyou, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubedit?

    Last week we entered into the arena of natural

    relationships as they pertain to spiritual

    relationships. We spoke of security and intimacy.

    Lack of provision,protection and security will lead

    to a lack of trust and intimacy in any relationship.

    Intimacy contains emotion, it is a true saying that

    we are intimate with that which feels good to usWhatever that image is in our mind, our will

    chooses in most cases.

    In many cases we are like Daniel, surrounded by

    a heathen culture, compromise and opportunity

    to be a part of that culture prevalent. We must

    also be like Daniel when it comes to God making

    known to us the mystery of His counsel.

    Daniel 9:2-3 (King James Version)

    2In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood

    by books the number of the years, whereof the

    word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet,

    that he would accomplish seventy years in the

    desolations of Jerusalem.

    3And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek byprayer and supplications, with fasting, and

    sackcloth, and ashes:

    13/26

    Daniel 9:21-22 (King James Version)

    21Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, eventhe man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the

    vision at the beginning, being caused to fly

    swiftly, touched me about the time of the

    evening oblation.

    22

    And he informed me, and talked with me,and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth togive thee skill and understanding.

    14/26

    Daniel 10:11-14 (King James Version)

    11And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatlybeloved, understand the words that I speak unto

    thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I nowsent. And when he had spoken this word untome, I stood trembling.

    12Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: forfrom the first day that thou didst set thine heartto understand, and to chasten thyself before thyGod, thy words were heard, and I am come forthy words.

    13But the prince of the kingdom of Persia

    withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo,

    Michael, one of the chief princes, came to

    help me; and I remained there with the kings

    of Persia.

    14Now I am come to make thee understand

    what shall befall thy people in the latter days:

    for yet the vision is for many days.

    The church doesnt even understand her ownpower, you dont understand your own power.

    You can and will usher in this move of God as

    you begin to make yourself known and cometo this calling in Christ. Not your self

    examination, not others view of your failuresand shortcomings, but as you begin topronounce the word of the Lord in and to the

    heavenlies.

    Daniel 10:20-21 (King James Version)

    20Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come

    unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the

    prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo,

    the prince of Grecia shall come.

    21But I will shew thee that which is noted in the

    scripture of truth: and there is none that holdethwith me in these things, but Michael your prince.

    God is taking care of things

    It is impossible to minister on the rapture without

    the bridal paradigm being established.

    My intention today is to reveal the glory of God in

    the church because of her calling..

    Revelation 19:7Let us be glad and rejoice, and

    give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb

    is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

  • 8/6/2019 The Church Part 12

    19/26

    Revelation 22:17 (King James Version)

    17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And

    let him that heareth say, Come. And let himthat is athirst come. And whosoever will, let

    him take the water of life freely.

    This is the result of intimacy with Christ, the

    gospel becomes alive and we birth children in

    this intimacy.

    20/26

    Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of

    the wife, even as Christ is the head of the

    church: and he is the saviour of the body.

    It is inside of this understanding of our

    protection and provision that we are changed

    in our love and devotion to Him..

    The Song of Solomon reveals this love as it grows andcomes to a place of culmination called the RaptureMy love grows as I grow Every relationship hasphases. A Mature Love

    Song ofSolomon 8:6-7 (King James Version)

    6Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal uponthine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruelas the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, whichhath a most vehement flame.

    7Many waters cannot quench love, neither can thefloods drown it: if a man would give all the substanceof his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

  • 8/6/2019 The Church Part 12

    22/26

    Love has come to mean many things in our world. I am

    not Greek, and I am not Hebrew but I have found that

    as my love has matured, that it rises to the degree ofcommitment and care that any situation calls for

    Initial Stage of Love. Rose colored but not deep.

    Song ofSolomon 1:4 (King James Version)

    4Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath

    brought me into his chambers: we will be glad andrejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than

    wine: the upright love thee.

    Selfish Love

    Song ofSolomon 5:2-4 (King James Version)

    2I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of

    my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me,my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for myhead is filled with dew, and my locks with thedrops of the night.

    3

    I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? Ihave washed my feet; how shall I defile them?

    4My beloved put in his hand by the hole of thedoor, and my bowels were moved for him.

    Independence

    Song ofSolomon 5:6-8 (King James Version)

    6I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had

    withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed whenhe spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called

    him, but he gave me no answer.

    7The watchmen that went about the city found me,

    they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of thewalls took away my veil from me.

    8I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find mybeloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.

    A Transforming Love.

    Song ofSolomon 6:9-13 (King James Version)

    9My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the

    only one of her mother, she is the choice one ofher that bare her. The daughters saw her, and

    blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines,

    and they praised her.

    10Who is she that looketh forth as the morning,

    fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible asan army with banners?

    11I went down into the garden of nuts to see the

    fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine

    flourished and the pomegranates budded.

    12Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the

    chariots of Amminadib.

    13Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return,

    that we may look upon thee. What will ye see inthe Shulamite? As it were the company of two

    armies.
