Part 15 Grace a catalyst for the coming revival

Part 15 Grace a catalyst for the coming revival Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. 7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. A Catalyst is a chemistry substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any change. When we apply this meaning to the grace of God grace becomes the catalyst that will affect real change, acceleration, and favor, for good on our lives. Zerubabel was told by the Angel that his task could not be completed without the anointing and spirit of the Lord moving upon him, and this would only be given to him by the grace of God. Grace could be described as the unmerited favor of God, without which we cannot achieve anything of lasting eternal value. This is a very sobering truth and is reflected in the Apostle Paul’s declaration in Philippians chap 4. Philippians 3:4  Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: The Apostle Paul was educated in some of the best schools of his day but came to realize that the knowledge of Jesus Christ could only come by the grace of God thought divine revelation. Jesus was never bound by bitterness, never anxious; never jealous. He never manipulated people; He was never insecure and no self rejection. His intimacy with the Father secured Him. He was never at the mercy of circumstances HE WAS FREE What a life; who wouldn’t want that kind of life. Jesus was completely surrendered to the will of the Father and rested in the fathers plan and purpose for him. All He had to do was hear and obey and trust in the grace of His Father to supply all that He needed Most revivals come when the Church has reached the end of it own abilities One of the greatest wonders of the coming revival will be TEENAGERS & even Pre Teens They will become some of the greatest evangelists the church has ever seen They will heal the sick, cast out demons and raise the dead. Just as Satan sought to wipe out the children in Moses day by killing them, then in Herod’s Day: Satan has tried again to wipe out a whole generation. Satan has in our day tried to wipe out the young people through Abortion, Drugs, Sexual abuse and violence. This generation of kids in their thousands, are being dragged through the dregs of hell, Sin, Trauma, and Despair. However just as deep as Satan has had his roots in them God will extract the evil from them and fill them with the righteousness of God, this will be a great work of grace by God reaching down to save a lost generation. Jezebel will loose her children Isaiah 47:8 Therefore hear now this, [thou that art] given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heat I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit [as] a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: 9 But these two [things] shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, [and] for the great abundance of thine enchantments. Death & Hell you will loose your children Isaiah 42:22 But this [is] a people robbed and spoiled; [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. 23 Who among you will give ear to this? [who] will hearken and hear for the time is now. Only the grace of God san save this generation:  I can’t wait to see this generation come to the Lord, it will be one of the greatest marvels that the church has ever seen. Recently the world was captivated by the events and drama surrounding Anna Nicole Smith’s death, most Christians saw her as an evil immoral degraded person. My wife had a real burden for this woman and prayed much for her. I recently read this incite-full prophetic word by Kim Clement regarding this lady. I Received Anna Nicole Smith "Even as Anna Nicole died, there is a reason. There is something that must be stated from the mouth of the prophet regarding this lady's death." For God says, "The whole nation mourns, but I mourned long before she died, for she was crying out to Me three days before she died, crying out, 'God help me--I'm lost; I'm stuck.' Does anybody realize that three days before her death, I was there by her side, and I was touching the lady that they call Anna Nicole Smith?" God tells you America, "It shall also be a warning to many that I'm about to judge the perversion in this nation." God says, "I will show Myself strong and raise up people like her to minister to those that are in the streets. There shall be a resurrection because the enemy took her," but God says, "I received her into My arms." To watch the Video Clip of Kim Clement prophesying about Anna Nicole Smith CLICK HERE I never cease to wonder at the grace of God, the coming revival will display God’s masterpiece of Grace and love for a dying world It is important to look at this lost generation through the eyes of God and be filled with wonder at the grace that God is about to bestow these lost people. If we continue with a holier than thou attitude we could very well fall into the category of those Jesus spoke about in Matthew 21. Matthew 21:31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. God Bless youN Johnson ©   March 2007
