THE TURNING POINT

1. How did we get here? The world staggers like a drunken man from one crisis to another, as naked FEAR drown men in unbearable agony. Truth be told, the solution is not in global conferences, reinforced bunkers or shelters on the moon. The answer is in "RETURNING", retracing our steps to where and how we got here, "For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; IN RETURNING AND REST SHALL YE BE SAVED; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not" [Isaiah 30:15] Before you stop reading, man's beginning was in Garden of Eden not in evolution [Genesis 2:7-9] The critical blunder in our trajectory was SIN, Genesis 3:1-24. Ever since, all human efforts to right the wrong piled sorrows on the world, we cannot get it right on our own, "Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but SIN that DWELLETH IN ME" [Romans 7:20] Nonetheless, I have GOOD NEWS for you and indeed all men, the stranglehold of SIN is broken in JESUS CHRIST, "For the WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH death; but the GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST our Lord" [Romans 6:23]

2. If the beginning was in Eden, the defining hour of man's destiny was in another GARDEN, Gethsemane, where JESUS prepared Himself to pay the WAGES of our SIN, "For he hath MADE HIM TO BE SIN for us, WHO KNEW NO SIN; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" [2 Corinthians 5:21] In Gethsemane as in Eden, Satan fought against man and in both cases, MAN SLEPT. Notwithstanding, God wants the best for you in fulfilment of His PROMISE to make MAN in His own IMAGE and LIKENESS, "But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way" [Matthew 13:25] Peter, James and John slept at Gethsemane, ill-equipped to withstand the ENEMY because the HOLY GHOST had not yet come, "And he cometh unto the disciples, and FINDETH THEM ASLEEP, and saith unto Peter, What, COULD YE NOT WATCH WITH ME ONE HOUR? [Matthew 26:40-41] Gethsemane made it two times in a row that MEN SLEPT, not your regular nocturnal relaxation but  succumbed to satanic warfare. The third encounter is loading and the ENEMY has lulled the CHURCH to SLUMBER, thinking he has won. He is wrong, this is THE TURNING POINT, "While the bridegroom tarried, they ALL SLUMBERED AND SLEPT. And AT MIDNIGHT THERE WAS A CRY made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him" [Matthew 25:5-6]

3. THE TURNING POINT is the GREAT REVIVAL,  the great "AWAKENING" of the CHURCH by the outpouring of the HOLY GHOST. Prophet Joel, in Joel 2:28-29, foretold it and Apostle Peter at PENTECOST made reference, "But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the LAST DAYS, saith God, I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams" [Acts 2:16-17 ] We know by the HOLY GHOST and testimony of CHRIST'S Apostles that PENTECOST was the "EARLY RAIN", the FULNESS and "LATTER RAIN" was reserved to prepare the BRIDE for the appearance of the BRIDEGROOM, "Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the EARLY AND LATTER RAIN" [James 5:7] The "LATTER RAIN" is attended with THUNDERING and LIGHTNING; THUNDERS echo MIDNIGHT CRY, LIGHTNING brings "GREAT LIGHT" to those in the shadow of death; reawakening of the CHURCH in Nepal, China, Guetemala, India, Somalia, Bangladesh, etc., "The people that walked in darkness have seen a GREAT LIGHT: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined" [Isaiah 9:2]

4. THE "LATTER RAIN" is drizzling with THUNDERS louder than SLEEP can tolerate. THE TURNING POINT of man's destiny is here; we are delivered from SLUMBER to turn the battle to gates of the ENEMY, "In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, And for a SPIRIT OF JUDGMENT TO HIM THAT SITTETH IN JUDGMENT, and for STRENGTH TO THEM THAT TURN THE BATTLE TO THE GATE" [Isaiah 28:5-6] Our STRENGTH is JUDGMENT without compromise, beginning from the household of God; sorcerers and carpetbaggers shall be exposed, "And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, ... But Peter said unto him, THY MONEY PERISH WITH THEE, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money" [Acts 8:18,20] This GOSPEL shall be preached in the POWER of the HOLY GHOST in all nations, with satanic strongholds crumbling as in Samaria, "And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For UNCLEAN SPIRITS, CRYING WITH LOUD VOICE, CAME OUT of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed" [Acts 8:6-7] 

5. This GREAT REVIVAL is THE TURNING POINT of our pilgrimage from this dying world to everlasting glory; the heritage of those who have received JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOUR. Friend, our departure is closer than ever, accept JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and SAVIOUR today "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the MANIFESTATION OF SONS OF GOD" [Romans 8:18-19] Acts 8:8
