spiritual ministry. The power of God is moving and men are coming to
Christ, broken, weeping, contrite, repenting, calling upon the name of
the Lord, their chains of sin and darkness broken, washed away by the
power of God, becoming new creatures in Christ Jesus. Saints are being
strengthened, the ways of the Lord are being established in hearts, the
plan and purpose of God are being quickened in the consciousness of
those seeking the Lord. The other preacher is heading a political
movement to enlist "Christian political activists" in the project of
holding demonstrations, lobbying government to put prayer back in the
schools, initiate programs to get kids off of drugs, outlaw pornography,
nude dancing, adult book stores, etc. Now, which of these two preachers
is acting as an Ambassador of the Kingdom of Heaven; which of these
preachers is doing the work of the Kingdom of God; which of these two
is causing the Kingdom of God to come upon men; which of these two
is introducing men to the Realm of Heaven; which is reigning in some
measure with Christ from His throne of heavenly power?
There should be no doubt in any spiritual mind. The soul-saving
preacher is certainly moving in a dimension of the Kingdom of God even
in this present "in part" realm, whereas the politically active preacher is
trying by the energy of the flesh, by the principles of the kingdoms of
this world, and by the methodology of the law of Moses, to reform the
carnal government of man. With the above truth gaining access and
blooming in our hearts, let us prepare our hearts to now step beyond our
present age to the more excellent glory of the new order which is now
at hand in the Feast of Tabernacles, the third day, the Holiest of all, the
manifestation of the sons of God. Let us discard the silly doctrines,
methods and programs of men and evil traditions inherited from the
kingdom of Babylon that we may receive of God and become His sons
and daughters...
It is my deep conviction that the time appointed of the Father for the
manifestation of the sons of God is nigh at hand. Sons of God shout it
loud and clear! Let the earth know her redemption draweth nigh! The
King of Love is coming! Hallelu-yah! The Deliverer is coming out of
Zion, the whole Christ-body is being prepared, and the time is at hand.
While the religious systems "play church" and the Christians "dabble in
politics" trying to save the nation and the world, the royal heralds are
going forth blowing their trumpets, proclaiming the message of the
Kingdom in the power of the Spirit, preparing the stage for the
appearing of the KING in a vast company of the sons of God — the King
in the midst of the kings! What a glorious and mighty and exultant
victory lies before us!
