Part 14 The Glory of the Latter House Part 2

Part 14 The Glory of the Latter House  Part 2 Haggai 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts. With the dawning of the New Millennium, the earth found itself in the midst of the most significant set of changes since the Church was birthed at Pentecost There is a move of God taking place in the earth today that is not localised to any particular culture or to any ethnic or racial group and in the most part it is hidden as God prepares those who are destined to be a part of this great kingdom wave. It is not limited to any particular economic segment in the world God is breaking out of traditional boundaries. He is breaking out of the set paradigms of the church A Paradigm: Can be defined as a mindset that conditions all of our responses and behaviour patterns. The new thing that God is doing cannot be limited to the term “Revival”. It is much deeper that revival Isaiah 48:6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare [it]? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them. 7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them. This reformation that is beginning is far greater than the reformation of the 16thCentury. It will profoundly change the way the word views the church. Our understanding of what the church is about, will to totally revolutionised. The structure government and purpose of the church is about to be totally changed. Hebrews 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: CONTEXT of these verses of scripture are the End-Times  These verses describe a shaking of everything that is not built or initiated by God. This melt-down will remove all man made initiatives in the church and will bring in a new era name the Kingdom Era. See verse 28 The Prophet Habakkuk Prophesied of these days Habakkuk 1:2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save! 3 Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. 4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. Habakkuk was prophesying about his day,  BUT the main import was for OUR DAY NOW Note these were days of: A day of Violence A day of Increased iniquity, strife, and contention. A day when the law makers cannot handle the breakdown occurring in society. A day when wrong judgment is given at courts of law. Habakkuk was crying out to God for a move of God that would change things       In chap 2:14 Habakkuk draws from Num 14:21 about the Glory of the Lord Habakkuk 2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. He is pleading with God to fulfil his sworn promises, that of Glory filling the earth Numbers 14:21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD. He is calling out to God to fulfil His word When suddenly the prophetic anointing comes on him and he cries out Habakkuk 1:5 behold look among the nations and watch, and be astounded for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you. Habakkuk saw down through time to our day and he is so astounded by what he saw, he said this. Habakkuk 2:1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. Then God speaks to Him says Habakkuk this is for a divinely appointed time Write it down: make a record for it will come to pass. Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It will come at the End: The word  end is a Hebrew word that means extremity or at the end of a designated time. We read in the book of Daniel that at the end- the end of the age certain things will happen Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? 9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. God said to Daniel that certain hidden truths mysteries would not be opened to the church until the TIME OF THE END Haggai said   LOOK TO THE NATIONS; what did Haggai see? He saw something happening on a global scale that astounded him, he saw whole nations impacted by the power and grace of God, and this was unknown in his day when the Jewish Nation was the only nation that God was relating to in any major way. The rise of the Apostolic The Apostolic has a world view they see the nations and how it all  fits together in God’s plan. The Apostolic spirit and ministry understands the plans purposes of God, has the ability to put it together, to See overall picture and coordinate it, and keep it on track. The Prophetic is calling forth the army of the Lord; The Apostolic will put the army in order and will know the strategy of the Lord which will enable the army to accomplish the purposed of God in the earth The Apostolic function is that of a Wise Master Builder As the Apostolic ministry arises Nations will begin to be impacted as the greatest revival and harvest the church has ever seen begins to unfold, this harvest will be so great, we like Haggai will be astounded. Haggai 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
