INTRODUCTION
Our society is full of ungodly influences. Our Creator and Redeemer intends to shake them out (Hebrews 12:26-27) and give us an opportunity to do things His way. Three truths will cause God’s people to survive – even thrive – during the shaking ahead. Four moves of God will enable His people to bring His Kingdom fully onto the Earth.
WAYS OF PROSPERITY
The Good News of Kingdom prosperity, if trusted and obeyed, will enable Kingdom citizens to live in health, wealth, and well-being and to pass that Good News on to those whom God would favor. They will inhabit the sheep nations the King will vindicate on Judgment Day.
The keys to prosperity include giving and speaking out what is needed. Jesus said, “Give, and it will be given to you (Luke 6:38).” He also said, “Ask the Father for whatever is in keeping with the things I’ve revealed to you. (John 16:24).”
I speak about this in my talk entitled, Give and It Will Be Given to You (https://jpdauthor.wixsite.com/john-paul).
Sheep nations will be those who gave to or supported King Jesus… through His people (Matthew 25:40). There is no better way to show trust in and obedience to the King. He will provide for them.
RETURN TO ECCLESIA
The return of believers from religious activities in church to ruling on the Earth in God’s governing assemblies (ecclesias) will bring Heaven’s citizens back into positions of influence in the Seven Mountains(gates of influence) in society. This will return our nation to following the principles of freedom, life, and the pursuit of individual purpose.
I also speak about this in my talk entitled, Leaving Behind Foundational Teachings (https://jpdauthor.wixsite.com/john-paul).
LEVELS OF ECCLESIA
Household ecclesias – made up of families, single men, and single women – will become the training grounds for Kingdom life and prosperity. The members of these households will survive, even thrive, because of their mutual support and protection during the shaking. The households will be fertile soil for the growth of the many brought in during the billion-soul harvest.
Intentional communities, woven together of household ecclesias, will welcome and train the many misfits reaped from the ungodly society. These misfits will go out and carry the Kingdom to the rest of society (Isaiah 61:4-6).
Intentional communities, planted in disadvantaged neighborhoods and using the principles of Asset-Based Community Development, will bring freedom and self-improvement to local neighborhoods. Thus will God’s Kingdom come to full fruit throughout the Earth (Matthew 6:10).
Shalom
