A Precipitous Place And The Spirit of Revolution
A Precipitous Place
And
The Spirit of Revolution

Nita (LaFond) Johnson
Dear Friends, I am going to talk to you today about two ends of the Divine spectrum soon to come upon us. In both extremes there is light, in both realities there is grandeur. There is no reason to fear anything that God does. He is wisdom and all He does He does in love. His wisdom is impeccable. His justice is always right!
He has two main objectives in the two extreme realities soon to be released in the earth. First, He is going to reveal His judgments in the earth. Second, He is going to raise the Church up to a place of glory and majesty and He is going to send His self-revelation to the unbeliever, bringing forth the greatest harvest ever in the history of man. I have said for years now that one billion souls will be saved in this hour.
I am going to discuss the most difficult reality first; then I will finish this article by addressing the second one for which we wait, albeit a bit impatiently.
The word spectrum means: a continuous distribution of colored light produced when a beam of white light is dispersed into its components, e.g. by a prism. Another meaning that is relevant to this writing is: a range of values, especially one with opposite values at its limits.
Consider a peacock with feathers fanned and each feather bearing a different color. You can think of the revelation of God as such an arrangement of colors that complement each other, each feather opening a new dimension which carries you into the next incredible level of Divine revelation, elucidating the Kingdom in its finest. Such revelation comes to us through a multi-colored fan of light and we can see the multifaceted wisdom of God found in the comprehensive revelation of Jesus Christ.
The light of God is given in more than one way. In fact, it comes in comprehensive and multidimensional ways. I want to share with you the judgment or “bottom” end of the spectrum of revelation, first.
A Precipitous Place
At present, the whole world is walking in a precipitous place. We are traversing the slippery slopes of the ongoing revelation of the maturity of the reign of man in the earth. We will learn, and indeed are learning even now, how dangerous it is to place one’s trust in any man. Even man’s attempts to accomplish a noble goal out of a good heart can be dangerous. However, when a man or Oligarchy is attempting to steer you in a direction which serves their best interest, disregarding your interests altogether, and you wittingly or unwittingly follow along, you are treading upon dangerous precipices which could lead you to ruin.
This is where the world at large finds itself right now. This should frighten you. Like walking into the den of hungry lions and realizing that if you do not act immediately you are about to become meat for them, this realization should provoke fear and an adrenaline rush that would hopefully spur you on to extraordinary responses to your situation.
Our economy is about to implode. I say implode as it is built on a foundation that cannot maintain it. The foundation and structure is faulty as it goes against Scripture. It is not what the Fathers of our Republic designed when they established our Constitution. We stand on the horizon of days lost; and from there we look back into the shadows of time. In our memory, we see the World Trade Center implode. See how easy it was to bring down that mighty edifice? It took only moments. Sadly, few escaped its fiery grasp as it began disintegrating, taking many down with it. It is an image of what is to come. It is the World Trade Building that we are addressing. The New World Order is established on this same system we saw implode in 9/11. “World Trade!” It came into sharp focus in the Treaty of Rome which treaty provoked the world into a terrible metamorphosis initializing an ongoing changing global reality. The world has been subtly evolving upon the foundation of the Treaty of Rome for many decades now. This transformation will continue until all things foretold are completed.
The Bible says that man will not learn righteousness until God’s judgments are in the earth. It is true. The Lord revealed that lofty truth to us so we could understand His ways. The world is under judgment. The purpose of the judgment is that we might learn righteousness as God sees it. The population of the world is beginning to learn what it means to live under the fist of mean-spirited Elitists who have only one aim in mind: control of the masses for their own end. Their brutal control could only mean loss to the masses. The people lose all creature comforts as the plan of the Elite is to make the masses so poor that they cannot fight them. If poverty is not enough, they will soon add to it brutality, fear-mongering and hunger as they accelerate the slide of the world into slavery. This is what it means to be ruled by man.
One ruled by God walks in freedom. Despite all obstacles and bondages of the flesh, the spirit is free. The soul free in God is free of all things. In the darkness of the prison cell made by man for man, there is every evil work. Hence, judgment must follow as God has already set the law in motion to judge sin in the flesh. We humans learn to acclimate to just about any climate and/or condition. Therefore, until things get so difficult that we are living in an impossible situation, we just keep pressing through not realizing that our flesh is under Divine discipline as a way to awaken us to a higher reality.
This is the “bottom” of the spectrum of God’s dealings with humanity. We can glory in our momentary afflictions knowing that God is attempting to rid us of all distractions and draw our focus upon our Redeemer. We cannot serve God and Mammon. Therefore, when we are gleefully serving mammon, we cannot truly see the ever-living God. He is hidden in obscurity away from our sandy-eyed, sleepy gaze. His beauty is shrouded by the clouds of human desire. The Church, now so captivated by the world, stands outside in the outer court, though the veil of the Temple has been rent. We are invited into the Holy of Holies, yet we stand numb, dazed in the Outer Court. This in itself is a type of Divine judgment.
The world is going to see treacherous days ahead, in part due to the Illuminati plans, in part due to natural disasters which, in a measure will be the result of determined, measured judgment. God is not seeking to judge His own, however. Once again, He is judging sin in the flesh. He wants to show us, through this difficult trek that the world is on, that we need not all things in the world, but all things in God. Our true happiness is not based on the unstable things of the soul and flesh, but rather, on the eternal stability of truth in Christ Jesus. For instance, we think our peace rests in financial security. However, our peace, as we will soon learn, is based on our peace with God. He will meet our needs according to His riches in glory. Does this mean we will have microwave ovens and a computer in every room during this difficult era of human history? No. It is possible they may not work even if we did have them. What it does mean is that Jesus will take care of our needs that pertain to life and godliness. His plan is so much higher than we can presently imagine.
Light comes like a swift sword dividing asunder between the world and the Kingdom of Christ, the soul and the Spirit, light and darkness. It comes to break asunder the chains that hold the spirit and soul of man in bondage to the things of the flesh and the world. Like stripping the peel from the delectable tree-ripened orange to expose what tastes like heaven’s food, the sword of light will peel away that which obscures the far more delectable fruit of the Divine Kingdom. The bottom end of the spectrum is the light of judgment. The high end is the revelation of the Kingdom.
The kingdom of the world is going deeper into Divine discipline. The economy, the medical profession, government, commodities, to name a few, and ultimately, false religion which will ensnare the soul into such bondage as will stagger the imagination. What will cause the heart of man to fall under this terrible sword of judgment? – The deception of the 11th hour, which will entail entrapment in pride, lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes which is the love of power. The sword of light will come swiftly and everything that can be shaken will begin to shake, so that the things that cannot be shaken will remain.
The higher echelons of the spectrum of light will then be released.
Where will the Church, the true Church of the living God be? It will stand as it is the one thing that cannot be shaken! The Church will rule in economics, government and true worship of the Sovereign God. It will conquer disease and even death.
The Spirit of Revolution
Holy Revolution!!!! As in the days of the Revolutionary war, we will see a holy revolution in the earth. In 2004 while in St. Louis, I felt the spirit of revolution enter my room. I asked the Lord to help me understand the cause of the exhilarating feeling I was experiencing. He said, this is the spirit that I released provoking the Revolutionary war in America. He was not saying He provoked war, but He did provoke revolution which England saw as something that needed to undergo Imperial discipline. This release of God was so exhilarating. The bearer would desire freedom from oppression with a fanatical zeal. It caused the heart to desire liberty more than food or even breath. It filled the heart with faith that liberty could be attained against all odds. To be free of British rule in those days meant true freedom to worship God in the Spirit of Holiness. It also meant freedom to walk in liberty and prosper. It meant that the Catholic stronghold which covertly clouded the nation with such darkness would have strong limits placed over it. Now of course I am not saying that the authors of the Declaration of Independence thought all this out. They also had other issues with which they were dealing. However, this was God’s agenda. Nevertheless, the leaders moved forward in what they understood and the Lord went with them to fulfill His plan.
Let’s look at the heart of the provocateurs of the Revolution. I think that is best accomplished by reading the speech of Patrick Henry which pushed the Convention over the edge and into the ultimate stand for freedom.
Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death
By
Patrick Henry
Speech
“Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death!”
Colonial Williamsburg Foundation
St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia
March 23, 1775.
MR. PRESIDENT: No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do, opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely, and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offence, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.
Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves, and the House? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with these war-like preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled, that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask, gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done, to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!
They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace, but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
He told me the next time He released that awesome gift was during the days of Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement. We all know what happened. Martin Luther King gave a marvelous speech that depicted the whole vision.
I Have a Dream
by
Martin Luther King
[AUTHENTICITY CERTIFIED: Text version below transcribed directly from audio. (2)]
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we’ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we’ve come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God’s children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
We cannot walk alone.
And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.
We cannot turn back.
There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro’s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating: "For Whites only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream." (Amos 5:24)
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest — quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.
Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" — one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together." (Isaiah 40: 4-5)
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
And this will be the day — this will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning:
My country ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim’s pride,
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.
And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.
Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.
But not only that:
Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
Yes, the Spirit of Revolution had been re-released during what we now call the Civil Rights era. God did not use perfect men in the Revolutionary war and He did not use perfect men in the Civil Rights era. However, He did use those vessels that He raised up for that hour and did a great work in America. In the same respect, the Church was involved fully. They suffered with those who suffered and rejoiced in the victories that were gained.
In the Revolutionary war, young men wore rags around their feet in the middle of the winter to fight the war because there was no money to buy boots. Many died of disease because of the terrible conditions. But, they fought for a cause worth dying for to give this Nation a chance to survive and grow and become a place where the races of the earth could serve God without fear. Both eras are marked with Martyrs. We shall see that the latter will carry the glory of the former, even, at times, at the cost of the Martyr’s blood. Yet, the glory of heaven will be revealed to justify the blood of the martyrs in all generations in such majesty the tongue will not know how to give expression to its beauty and marvelous power.
Luke 1:74-75
74That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 75in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
And, God was with them!
Today
Today another Revolution is being birthed by the Spirit of the Living God. It will be marked by the appearing of the Sons of God.
1I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Therefore once again I write it upon the tablets. I put it in plain view so all will see.
Habakkuk 3:3
3God [approaching from Sinai] came from Teman [which represents Edom] and the Holy One from Mount Paran [in the Sinai region]. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! His glory covered the heavens and the earth was full of His praise. 4And His brightness was like the sunlight; rays streamed from His hand, and there [in the sun like splendor] was the hiding place of His power.
When the Lord visited Sinai, He came in such majesty that the mountain trembled and fire rested upon it as the angels surrounded His glory. Till this very day, the top of that mountain is scorched from the fire. The whole earth was full of His praise. The glory of the Lord covered the whole heavens not just the Sinai region. His brightness was like the sunlight. This sight was unlike anything the earth had ever experienced. Still, there was a greater glory in the coming of the Messiah, and later the outpouring of Pentecost. However, even this will be superseded by a much greater glory. It will happen as the Bible says it will and therefore time cannot come to an end until it does. Paul wrote about it:
2 Corinthians 3:7,8,9
7Now if the dispensation of death engraved in letters on stone [the ministration of the Law], was inaugurated with such glory and splendor that the Israelites were not able to look steadily at the face of Moses because of its brilliance, [a glory] that was to fade and pass away, 8Why should not the dispensation of the Spirit [this spiritual ministry whose task it is to cause men to obtain and be governed by the Holy Spirit] be attended with much greater and more splendid glory? 9For if the service that condemns [the ministration of doom] had glory, how infinitely more abounding in splendor and glory must be the service that makes righteous [the ministry that produces and fosters righteous living and right standing with God]!
Another passage:
Romans 8:18
18[But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us.
19For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God’s sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].
The world is heading into travail to reveal the Sons of God, my dear friends. When the Lord revealed this to me a few years ago, His Spirit came upon me like a mighty flood. To this day, whenever I talk about it, the same thing happens. It will be accompanied by a much greater glory than even Sinai. Your imagination cannot expand far enough to grasp it all.
Isaiah 61 – the Jubilee anointing – will burst upon the Church and the fruit will be explosive.
Some believe that anointing is already here. It may be in its very infancy. However, what I was shown face to face with Jesus is not yet given. Jesus yearns for the day of its release. He told me Himself, it will be His greatest joy as it will produce the Sons of God in the earth. Not just a few, but in great number.
Last passage: Ephesians 4:13 Amp. Bible
13[That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him. (emphasis Author’s)
The Body of Christ is on its way to obtain the manhood found in Christ, walking in His nature and His character.
Signs and wonders in several areas will follow those who believe. Economics, Government, healings and miracles and Glory will show forth the expression of God’s nature, character and His mighty ways. The Body will move as one man and His glory will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea; in troubled times this will occur.
If you belong to Jesus, you will not want for food, or for your necessities. God will be nearer than when you first believed. You will walk in and exercise faith such as you have never known before. Your heart and soul will know utter freedom from fear. Faith will be your shield and joy your strength. You will find it quite easy and natural to believe God for the impossible and He will respond to your faith. The mature Son’s of God will emerge and the body will walk in the nobility of the Son. Do not fear, but rather, determine to pay the price as any good shoulder of liberty would do and God will honor you. Though wrought with difficulties it is going to be the most wonderful time in human history for the Church.
Do not fear these days; only press into Jesus. Obey Him, Love Him, fear Him, and trust Him. Do good and give and it shall be given unto you, press down, shaken together and overflowing will God give into your bosom. I do not mean to financially give only to the work of the Lord, but give when the hungry come to your door, for surely they will in the days ahead. He will take care of you, but more importantly, He will raise you up to know Him in Spirit and in truth. When that happens, no foe will hurt you. Do not fear, only believe.
In His Love,
Nita Johnson
