Our Prophetic Marching Orders
By Dana G Smith
Part I - The Word Brought Forth
On the streets of New York a beggar is panhandling change from passersby. Across the street, near the theatre on Times Square, the marquee is showing the recent play. A businessman is talking on his cell, hurriedly moving towards an unknown destination, determination is on his face as he seems oblivious to all. A food vender is selling wares from his cart as the vapors are seen rising against the brick wall behind him. This scene is played in major cities in America today. Everyone is busy, has an agenda, and is unaware of the time.
Towards the end of his ministry here on earth, how many would have truly known they had finished their total mission, as Jesus Christ knew. How many would of done all that was asked of them, as our Lord did. In all the earth, in every city, on every block, in every house, for all families, His work was to reach them. Providing mankind hope, he came, his words state it all. In a short sentence he said bluntly, not holding back. The Father had given him power over all flesh, that he (Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMassiach) should give eternal life to as many as thou has given him. This eternal life Jesus said further was that they might know thee, the only True God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
John 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
That is the trouble with America today; we all have our own agenda’s. That is all it is, an agenda, a time sheet, a goal, a purpose, more importantly these are segments of our life. These segments make up who we are, for we devote all we have to see them fulfilled. Jesus had only one purpose, to do the will of the Father. Many Americans are ignorant of the prophetic timing of our nation and the world. They are so consumed with the affairs of this life; it may be over before they can realize it is gone. Jesus warned us about this as well. The prophetic word Americans do not know is this. The days we are living in are the Days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
Luke 21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
With these words came warnings. These stark warnings are dismissed by many who say they do not apply today. Others simply do not believe. The warnings are given out, woe to the busy banker, businessman, housewife, husband, child, teenager, or anyone else that disregards the warnings of the day and age we have entered. Take heed, beware, and understand these warnings will affect you, your family, your nation, and all nations on earth. If you allow your life, heart, and mind to become filled with partying, living, paying bills, taking the kids to ball games, and the life, while forgetting that such a day is coming, they you will be taken by that day unaware.
Further, this day will come as a snare upon the whole earth. It will take captive all the nations on this planet. It will cause the globe we call earth to shake, spin out of control, and even the heavens to fulfill the changes prophecy speaks of them. The world itself will climax in cataclysmic changes of weather, plagues, natural disasters, wars, violence, death, famine, and much more. Men’s hearts will fail them for fear, while leaders of the nations will be utterly perplexed as to what to do. America will be totally changed as well. The nation so many have loved will be gone in an instant.
Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
The solution given by our Lord to all this is another stark warning. We are to Watch, that is observe the signs and seasons, being prepared, having our love in Him, our hope in Him, our goal to follow in obedience all he directs us to do. We are to pray that we and our family will be accounted worthy to escape all these things and to stand before the Son of Man. Our prayers are not only to ask for an escape, but what is an escape if we are not truly ready to meet our Lord and Savior?
Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man
The Lord doesn’t call us to worry; he calls us to have faith.
Moreover, while the world will be in turmoil, we need not be that way. I know many who let fear enter in when hearing of what is coming. Let me tell you plainly, our LORD does not call us to fear, but to have faith. He calls us not to waver, but to stand. He does not call us to walk in disillusionment, but in hope. He does not call us to suffer wrath, but salvation. He does not call us to hide our candle light, but to be the light amidst the darkness, even in this hour of judgment. Our Lord, so many years ago prayed for us. His prayer was that we, who believe on Him through the word spoken by the Apostles, would be one, just as He and the Father were one. That we would be in them, both the Father and the Son, being united in one, this having the purpose to be a witness to the world, so that the world may believe the Father sent the Son. The Son was to be in us, those who believe, that we would be made perfect, so the world may see and believe the Father sent the Son. Jesus Christ wanted us to know the Father, the Father’s love, and experience that love in a real way. He wanted us to be with him in Glory, and to become Sons of God.
John 17:20 ¶Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 ¶Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
Part II – Marching Orders for the Last Days
Jesus did not want us taken out of the world, but to remain here, in Him, but not part of the world. We are to have his joy, fulfilled in us. His word has been given to us. If his word is truly in us, then the world will hate us as it hated Jesus. In these last days, we are not be as chaff, but true vines, the true wheat, the real fruit, and the light in the world. Amidst the darkness, we are to be as beacons proclaiming the Son of God. Yes the world will hate us. The wickedness will increase. The harlot will rule and reign. The profane preachers and false prophets will declare lies and become our enemy. But the Lord prayed for us many years ago while on this earth saying, “do not take them out of the world, but keep them from the evil”. The evil, vile, wickedness and corruption of the flesh, which by lust does attack all people, but through Jesus Christ, we are set free, delivered, and empowered to live above these things. The light of the world is in us, we are the reflectors. The power in Him is in us. The Father in Him is in us. The Love of the Father in Him is in us. Again, in these times, Jesus Christ doesn’t call us to fear, but to have faith and stand tall in Him. In these days, let us sanctify ourselves wholly, by giving everything we have, are, and will be to Him, the Son of God. Let us set ourselves aside to His purpose in these last days. We must let his Word be our guide, thus sanctifying us. Let Him be the living Word in our souls, thus saving us, and let us proceed as he has directed us, for our marching orders have been given.
John 17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 ¶Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
We find our marching orders as I call them in Revelation. It is addressed to the church, those living stones, alive in Christ-not dead, alive in Christ-not lukewarm, alive in Truth and veracity, blood washed born again children of God who are fervent disciples of the Most High God. Our lives are not one to be lived as others. Ours is to bring in the arrival of Jesus Christ on this earth. At no time in history has the believer been at such a critical prophetic juncture as this. We will be the generation who will see and experience the arrival of Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMassiah to this earth. We are the generation not called to live our lives in debt, retiring to a ripe old age on a porch somewhere. We are not called to go fishing in the summer, skiing in the winter, and have a vacation twice a year. We are not called to have millions of dollars, lots of property, or the things of this life. We are called, chosen, and become faithful as we precede with the call of God to the last day’s church on this earth. The last days church before his coming and setting up his kingdom in glory and power. This is a call to Glory. This is a call to war. This is a call to experience the LORD as never before.
Behold, he cometh with clouds: and every eye shall see him,
and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth
shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen Revelation 1:7
This is a time changing, date setting, millennium defining moment in all earth’s history. This is a time when those who love God, and follow the LORD Jesus Christ with all obedience and fervor. This is the moment the church has prayed for over the history of ages since the cross. This is the time that our Fore Fathers of faith would have wanted to be here, but they are not. This is the time; the Lord has chosen you and me. We are the ones, it is our calling. We will be the last generation to do this. There will be no other time in all creation and eternity, the time that all hell itself and the devil are unleashed on earth to do battle. The time when the Lord Jesus Christ will bring his forces, those born again God called ones to meet this foe on the battlefields in America, Israel, Europe, and the World. This is the time when angels of God will join with the believer in an eternal conflict older than history itself. This is the end of it all, when evil, wickedness, and the chief minister of deception will be defeated for good.
We are told ahead of time that the ability to overcome the wicked one is through the blood of the Lamb. The shed blood of Calvary erased the power of sin and death over us, who believe. Those who overcome do so also by the word of their testimony as well, what Christ did for us, how he did it, and what he did on the cross. This Christ, whom we call Jesus, our testimony says, is the “son of God, the Son of the Most High, who brought to man revelation of Gods love so that man would be saved.” Jesus demonstrated that love by dying on the cross for our sins. He that knew no sin became sin for us, that we who were dead in trespasses and sins would be made alive through Jesus Christ. He who died and was resurrected from the dead, is that one who appeared to John saying “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” Rev 1:18. This is the love of the Truth the Apostle Paul spoke about in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2. The same Love of the Truth the world rejects resulting in the Father sending a delusion so that those who rejected Gods love would believe a lie. With that lie, Satan will make war. He will deceive many and even put to death many who believe in Jesus Christ. This in War, but in death, we are victorious. He cannot kill those of us who are already dead to the world, but alive in Christ. The faith of the saints is in and through Jesus Christ. Is because of him, we know the Father, because of this, we keep his commandments. Not the law, nor the letter of the law. We keep those things, in spirit, what Christ commanded us to keep. The greatest of these is love. With that Love, we follow in obedience, being faithful to His purpose. It is that Love which calls us to fast, pray, and seek the Lord with all we have. It is that Love, which will be a banner over us in this end time struggle for the hearts and minds of all people. It is that Love which Jesus Christ demonstrated to us on the cross. It is that Love, which the devil cannot fight nor understand, yea, it is this which will conquer all evil. It is that Love which will define the Kingdom of God. Yes, it is Love, no greater weapon than this. For with it our Savior conquered all, overcoming the world, to this end he says “be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
