The Body of Christ is now being enlisted as an end-time soldier, willing to give all for the Lord. God has been moving across the earth and shifting the Body of Christ into preparation mode for the great battles ahead. Many have been inducted into the army of God, whether they are aware of it or not. God has been shaking iniquity and mixture out of a people to prepare them for a season of intense boot camp.
The Divine Roll Call
We can see evidence of the divine roll call of apostolic saints to the front lines throughout Scripture, whether it was a man or a woman; an army, a group, or a generation.
Elijah was called to serve God, and he followed. Elisha left all to follow the call on his life. Moses resisted at first but ultimately obeyed. Jeremiah also resisted but followed. The twelve disciples all heard the call, dropped everything, left their livelihoods, and followed. Women heard the call and they followed! Timothy was intimidated, but he followed. Thomas doubted, but he followed.
All were called to the transcendent roll call for the stewardship of their times of history. The same call to serve God, to report for duty, went out to all; but each was given specific assignments that had to be fulfilled and stewarded for that hour. The Lord is heavily invested in each person’s assignment, as it is necessary and vital to the fullness of the plan of God for this time.
Apostolic saints are now being called to God’s transcendent roll call. Each is being given specific and significant assignments that are critical in implementing God’s Kingdom plan for the hour.
All parties are mobilized: the Holy Spirit, the angelic hosts, and the saints, all working together in a divine synergy. These days will be a critical time in the culminating milestone of history. The saints will be navigating extreme and unique challenges, requiring great wisdom, critical thinking, and a level of consecration that may appear radical to others; nevertheless, obedience will be the key.
The following three keys and passages are a part of this process, helping the people of God shift into a new dynamic:
1. The Abrahamic Call
When I first began to follow the Lord, He asked me to leave everything, including family and friends, and go to a land He would show me; this is the principle of consecration, THE ABRAHAMIC CALL.
“…Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you.” (Genesis 12:1)
2. The Hundredfold Return
Jesus also said that all those who had “left all” to follow Him would receive a multiplied return in this lifetime! That is THE HUNDREDFOLD RETURN.
“So Jesus answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.'” (Mark 10:29–30) (Photo via Public Domain Pictures)
3. The Refining Fire of Purification
When I first began to follow the Lord, He gave me 1 Peter 4:12, saying that I was not to think it strange the fiery trial that was to try me. This was the crucible of THE REFINING FIRE OF PURIFICATION.
“Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you.” (1 Peter 4:12)
The Job Experience and the Double Portion: “Now I See You!”
These three passages above (Genesis 12:1; Mark 10:29–30; 1 Peter 4:12) all represent THE JOB EXPERIENCE that works to shift the people of God into a new dynamic that works to release the DOUBLE PORTION! Job’s great response at the end of the process was “NOW I SEE YOU!”
“‘I know that You can do everything, and that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You. You asked, “Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?” Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. Listen, please, and let me speak; You said, “I will question you, and you shall answer Me.”
“‘I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You…’
“Now the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning…” (Job 42:2–5, 12)
I have been quoting Job a lot recently, as I believe we are in a Job moment of maturity in understanding, and a time of the reaping and restoration of all: houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and lands.
However, maturity in Christ is not a place for pride. It is gained from a place of brokenness before a holy God. God is calling these “Job servants” to the stewardship of the times, to serve His will for what must be accomplished. This is the gift that is given to the mature, to the broken. Opinions cannot dictate our movements in this critical time.
John the Baptist and the Heralds of the Hour
John the Baptist was a transitional leader brought forth for the most substantial event of history, the first coming of Jesus. Apostolic saints of God are now hearing the sound of the divine roll call in a divine summons to serve His will in the most substantial event of all time, the second coming of Jesus.
John was the herald sent to announce the dawn of a new era! This apostolic and chosen generation are the heralds of the hour, announcing the coming Kingdom reign of Christ! We are a generation birthed for the supernatural, miraculous hour of the Christ’s return. John’s message then, as it is now, was to repent and to prepare your hearts for the coming King.
The Fall of Babylon
We must understand that Jeremiah prophesied for forty years before the coming judgment of the Babylon invasion. Jeremiah also prophesied the release of God’s people from their captivity in Babylon after seventy years. He also prophesied the destruction of Babylon at that time and a Babylonian world system in the last days. We are now living in the era of the fulfillment of the words that prophesied the fall of Babylon, represented by globalists who foolishly believe they own and lead the world.
“And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, ‘Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.’
“And I heard another voice from Heaven saying, ‘Come out of her, My people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to Heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.'” (Revelation 18:2–5)
I believe that God is not about doing a quick fix, a quick once-over, of present systems that have become the foundations of our nations and our world. Some are praying in hope that God will fix everything and take us back to the way things were. God’s intention is to root out and destroy the rotten foundations of world systems that has served to bring us to this day! I believe that satan’s agenda for world government has never been this close, even with all the empires of the past times, as evil has now penetrated all systems of the entire world—even the house of God, to a certain degree.
God is gathering everything in Christ and shaking everything else. The Lord is leading His saints deeper into the spiritual death experience to be made ready to serve Him (Galatians 2:20; Philippians 1:21). Are you willing to follow? (Photo via Piqsels)
Called to Be Signs and Wonders
The last-day generation of saints are called to be signs and wonders (Isaiah 8:18), to be a manifestation of His glory! Having gone into the grave and risen in resurrection glory, they move out from the throne to serve Him. They are sons of oil who stand beside the God of the whole earth. The benefit of being a sign and a wonder is to live under the shadow of the Almighty, constrained by the Holy Spirit, where you will not be moved!
“There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved…” (Psalm 46:4–5)
Men will take note of the lives of the saints and fear, because our lives are the evidence of the reality of God! We are the testimony of God! The word testimony means “evidence.” Our lives, therefore, give evidence of God—not only of His power but also of His love, His goodness, and His mercy! Such a life is undergirded by El Olam, the Everlasting God, and is fueled by Christ, the Messiah!
“Sons of My Righteous Right Arm”
To His crucified ones, God is now saying, “You shall not be moved! You are rooted and firmly anchored in Me, guarded by My righteous right arm. You are Benjamin to Me, son of My strength, son of My righteous right arm! Your enemies shall stumble, and they shall fall. Praise My name at the dawn of the morning, and praise My name in the night season. Listen for the whisper of My voice to direct your steps. Hide My Word in your heart, and you will never be shaken or moved!
“I am Lord of the harvest. Let us go into the fields together. The time of your harvest has come! I have scattered much treasure in your field to delight your soul, treasure to benefit you and to benefit and feed others who are hungering and thirsting for fine food! Serve them freely as you minister My life to the lost, the hopeless, and the despairing. One word from My mouth can ignite their souls and lead them to everlasting life.
“Give freely, not sparingly. Freely you have received, freely give! I am the Lord of the harvest, the King that is always in the field. The fields—your fields, your portion—are now ripe for harvesting. Take My hand and join Me in golden fields of glory and light.”
It’s Time to Mobilize!
God is calling His army to now mobilize, to go into the fields with Him. The trumpets are sounding; the roll call is going out across the earth, calling His army to attention, to the frontlines!
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.” (Psalm 46:10–11)
