It is Still About Babylon

March 28, 2000

What a great group,

There has been very little discussion this edition and it has been some time getting out. The reason is that the enemy had infiltrated the camp at the e-group's forum and there were some that got in that were not on the latter rain list and did not understand that we are to discuss in love and humility. We are regrouping on that end and will either fix things or do it another way but the anointing that we had is gone from there for now. Not to worry. The foul spirits that come against us think that they have won the battle but we know who will win the war don't we. Praise God for His goodness.

There were a couple of responses to the call to discuss Christian servant-hood and they follow. Other than that, Ching Co from the Phillipines sent out an article through the Elijah list and I thought it would be good to forward it.

In the meantime, I want to get back to the issue of the identification of Babylon. I really believe that this is the reason that our group was attacked because I had left it up to you and the Lord to come up with who Babylon is. Satan wants you to be ignorant of this for if Babylon is identified, we would know what it is that we are to come out of. God's people in general are destroyed for lack of knowledge but the Seal of God is for those that hear the Lord and see the truth for themselves and accept the knowledge of Him. For those of you that follow my site, you already know where I stand. Babylon is easy to identify unless it is through the eyes of Babylon herself. It will take courage to come out with the true interpretation. You will be called a traitor, a heretic and a false prophet for speaking the truth. You will be hated by those who have not come out of her. Let's try to interpret the following facts about Babylon the Great and then get back to me with your ideas. If you look at your Bible you will see that Babylon is tied up with the beast and is:

Man's attempt to reach Heaven.

Is found in the economic, political and religious world.

Sits on seven mountains (not hills), that are in the midst of many waters, which are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.

Is the youngest of the nations.

Is a great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.

A nation with great worldwide political power, very wealthy with abundant treasures and religious in nature.

It once held the Lord's cup but now the cup is filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.

Oppresses through economic slavery with the body and souls of men.

Its merchants are the great men of the earth and have grown rich from her.

In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth.

Nations had flowed into her, a mingled people.

A mixture of religious confusion.

Lives in pleasures and dwells carelessly.

She glorifies herself and thinks that she sits as a queen.

Will be destoyed in one day and by fire just before the sun is darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars falling from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shaken.

The wicked, the proud and the terrible live there.

Possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.

Sits upon the beast.

We can tell who Babylon the Great is and we can also tell who it is not. It is not Ancient Babylon. It is not Jerusalem. It is not Rome. It is not Sunday Christians. It is not the Masonic Order. Those that teach these things are used by the enemy to divert the attention from who she really is and deceive others. Those that have the courage to see the truth will have the love to warn those around them of the judgment that is coming.

HI Jay-Just a few thoughts on the idea of the servant church.I agree that we are to be servants,but I would like to ask to whom.Do not misunderstand me, I know without a doubt we are servants.But,Jesus said,"I call you friend".So,it is my view that we are friends with God but yet servants as Jesus was a servant:to the people.This is to both the saved and the unsaved.A friend does for you because he loves you a servant does cause he has to or be removed as a servant.Since we are the friend of God we are servant to the people who need to hear about our best friend.If we are servants,and we are,we will do as the master bids us to do,if we be friends,and we are,we will do His work willingly.So either way His work shall be done.As we go thru this life we look for a purpose and a way to go,but all we have to do is be a part in Christ.For we really do not live in this world but we live in Christ.Amen.All things that we set up in this world is to give order to our flesh.The direction of our flesh is to our own cross so that we may lay it down daily.If we are lead by His spirit then all man made rules are made void by us obeying His spirit over flesh made rules.So,what I am saying is,let us be friends to God and sevants to all others.Not as servants to please the flesh,but as a friend that thru us we can lead all to our friend,Jesus.To me the church of today needs to follow the direction of one body being controlled only by HIM... from your friend

Congratulations for being one of very few who try to teach servanthood. There are many classes on "Christian Leadership", few to none on Christian servanthood. Even though the Leader comes from among the sevants in the Body of Christ.

Thank you!

In Christ,

RISING UP FROM THE ASHES

THE IMPRESSION

In the coming days, there will rise up in various nations, in different cities and communities, strong groups of Christians with different spiritual and vocational giftings, and God will sovereignly networked them to work together, not just in uplifting the spiritual condition of the land but even to help share their different skills and expertises and used them as tools in building up the community.

THE BUILDING OF THE LORD

In the past, the enemy has been using the Babel type of community building where it was mostly individualized and often identified to specific group and even person. But the building of the Lord in these last days will be totally different and unique. It will be in the type of Nehemiah where everybody whom the Lord called and touched will respond and will become part of the rebuilding.

For the first time, the world will see Christian men and women whose lives God will use as a showcase. In the past, the unbelieving world has look down upon us because even though we have not been lacking in preaching God's word, we have been short in living it out.

But the Lord has been quickening my heart for many months and I see the body of Christ rising up to the challenges of the time. God will cause His defeated body to rise up from the ashes, and like the vision of Ezekiel and the valley of dead bones, when the Spirit of God blows upon us and resurrect us, we will stand and glow with the glory of the Resurrected Christ Himself.

NAMELESS AND FACELESS

Different centers will rise up in various cities and nations. These centers will be taken care of by men and women of God who has no motive but to serve and willing to remain nameless and faceless and willing to come and go at the shortest notice. They will not hold on to anything or be dependent on anybody but the Lord will be their provider.

People of God, rejoice and gear yourself for this wonderful time of sending out. God is at the head of this party and His angels are busy preparing everything, even at this point of time. Many of His pioneering servants are all packed and ready to go to this exciting trip ahead of them.

THINGS WILL SOON BECOME CLEARER

A little longer and all things will become more and more clearer. The next three years will see a greater unfolding of all these and by that time, many centers in various land would have risen up and made known to the nations. None of these centers would need to advertise themselves. God Himself will trumpet their presence and people from all over the nations including head of state, king and queen will flock to see what all these are about.

RHEMA PROMISES

Isaiah 2:2-3

In the last days the mountain of the Lord's temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

Many people will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Isaiah 60:1-4,5b,7b,10a-12,16,17b-18,22

Arise, shine, for yor light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.

Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the arm.

The wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come. They will be accepted as offerings on my altar, and I will adorn my glorious temple.

Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you. Your gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night, so that men will bring you the wealth of the nations - their kings led in triumphal procession. For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly ruined.

You will drink the milk of nations and be nursed at royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

I will make peace your governor and righteousness your ruler. No longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders, but you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise.

The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I AM THE LORD; IN ITS TIME I WILL DO THIS SWIFTLY."

GOD WORDS TO US

" My faithful children, do not fear for I have not forgotten you. I have seen your sowing, I have taken note of your sacrifices for me, just a little longer and things will began to change before you.

Like Jacob at Bethel, you will see my angels coming up and down from heaven to bring My provision to you and to prepare the way for you.

Like Joseph, you will be brought before Pharoah and my glory will shine forth from you. Do not worry about what you are to say for when the time comes, I will put the word in your mouth.

I WILL MOVE EARTHLY LEADERS TO ISSUE DECREES

Like Nehemiah, you will find favors before your leaders. I will move the heart of earthly leaders and will cause them to issue decrees that will worked in your favor so that My kingdom's work will be hastened.

THE CLOUD OF GLORY IS DESCENDING

What has taken years before will now be accomplished in weeks and months. The cloud of my glory is descending, it is heavy and about to be pour down upon you. You don't have to run around to seek these clouds, it will come to you where you are, to those whose heart has been harkened unto me, the clouds will come to you and will rest upon your homes.

There will be no more running around chasing for My glory-- for My glory will be resting upon my people and many will be drawn to you because of the glory resting upon you.

Even your young children will reflect my glory, what I've spoken in Joel will become more and more real soon.

NO LABOR FOR YOUR INHERITANCE

Enter into your inheritance; I have assigned you your portion and your cup, your lot is secure in me. Your boundery line has fallen in pleasant places. (Psalm 16:5-6) No one will be able to steal them from you. You will not need to labor to enter into your inheritance for I will bring your inheritance to you."

May these words encourages us to hold on to all the promises given to us individually and corporately by our Faithful God.

Blessings,
