Prophetic Times-Prophetic Measures

My motto for 2013 is, "Prophetic times call for prophetic measures." Actually, this is a good motto for life considering the days and times of this age. Since this blog has been dedicated to the "work of mercy" called "setting the captive free," tools need to be in place to counter-balance the darkness of this world. People need to see signs and wonder...the sick being healed and demons cast out. That might sound spooky however, what people do nowadays from crime, drugs and witchcraft is down-right spooky too. I'm glad that an Apostolic anointing is here...it's not about the Apostolic denomination but the anointing that was demonstrated by the Apostles in the Book of Acts.  


There is a new church reformation occurring and its coming to a city near you. There was a radical departure from the spirit of "church business as usual." The first Reformation occurred during the days when Martin Luther broke from the Catholic church to establish the Protestant faith. So too is there a current church reformation according to the leaders of what is called the New Apostolic Reformation. Regardless of who calls it a movement or a reformation....one thing is clear, God is dealing with the Church in different ways.   



Now let's be serious, many Christians will never experience this reformation. First of all, some leaders do not believe in the initial sign of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues as manifested in Acts 2:38, let alone the signs and wonders that will accompany the latter day move of God...namely the restoration of the offices of prophet. Yet in Joel 2:28 says "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:" You can't have it both ways. We are either in the last days or not. If so, expect God to equip His people with new gift and fresh power to combat the onslaught of the latter day kingdom of darkness. 


And so, as T.D. Jakes would say....get ready...get ready...get ready.
