REVIVAL TRAIN006
WATCH AND PRAY part two
1. On three occasions, JESUS warned the CHURCH to WATCH AND PRAY. ONE, in reference to His appearance to receive His BRIDE,  "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, WATCH AND PRAY: for ye know not when the time is. ... Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping" [Mark 13:32-33,36] TWO, at GETHSEMANE, where JESUS travailed in PRAYER before His death on the Cross, "WATCH AND PRAY, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" [Matthew 26:41] THREE, after FORETELLING distress and instabilities preceding His RETURN,  upon the world and CHURCH, JESUS said to His disciples, "WATCH YE THEREFORE, AND PRAY always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man" [Luke 21:36] In all three instances, "WATCH" emphasised a REVIVAL, a heightened AWARENESS of what to LOOK FOR.

2. There is so much going on; wars and rumours of war, fears of what lies ahead and diverse instabilities. Not knowing what to WATCH, many are distracted and railroaded into confusion. FIRST thing to WATCH at such a time as this, is WHAT GOD IS DOING, "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but HE REVEALETH HIS SECRET UNTO HIS SERVANTS, the PROPHETS" [Amos 3:7] In the midst of global distress, beginning of sorrows, God is working out the GREAT REVIVAL; the final of the GOSPEL in all nations, "All these are the BEGINNING OF SORROWS. ... And this GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLDd for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come" [Matthew 24:8,14] The REVIVAL, orchestrated by outpouring of the HOLY SPIRIT as spoken by Prophet JOEL, Joel 2:28-29, has alighted in the most unexpected nations; China, Nepal,  Iran, Somalia, Pakistan, Bangladesh among others, "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] I charge you to keep your EYES on WHAT GOD IS DOING, it's going to be a SHORT WORK and you will not be disappointed at His appearance, "For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because A SHORT WORK WILL THE LORD MAKE UPON THE EARTH" []Romans 9:28]

3. There is a lot going on in the world right now, not the least because Satan is CAST DOWN and ANGRY, "... for the ACCUSER OF OUR BRETHREN is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. ... having GREAT WRATH, because he knoweth that he hath but A SHORT TIME" [Revelation 12:10,12] SECOND thing to WATCH, as we navigate the last days of this dying world are the antics of Satan. SPIRIT of the ACCUSER is at war against the nations, turning them against one with shameless ACCUSATIONS. The ACCUSER, working through THOUGHTS and IMAGINATION, Is the reason there are divisions and strife in the fold; we are quick to bring damaging ACCUSATIONS against Brethren without hearing from the other party. How then shall we WATCH not to talk of PRAY when with a "BEAM" in our eyes, we point accusing fingers at the mote in others, "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the BEAM OUT OF THINE OWN EYE; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the MOTE OUT OF THY BROTHER'S EYE" [Matthew 7:5]  I challenge you to be REVIVED in your inner man, WATCH that, "... that ye may be able to stand against the WILES OF THE DEVILl. For WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" [Ephesians 6:11-12]

4. We live at a time of unparalleled CONTRASTS; Satan is raising hell on earth, God is pushing the GREAT REVIVAL to SAVE and prepare His BRIDE. The common denominator in all these and THIRD thing to WATCH is your SOUL. If you are not BORN AGAIN, you have no "EYES" to "WATCH" and are as a blind man, easily led astray by blind "LEADERS", "... Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?" [Luke 6:39] The GREAT REVIVAL is God's final push to SAVE your SOUL by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS CHRIST; REPENT of your SIN and. accept JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and Saviour today, it is free, "For BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; and that not of yourselves: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: Not of works, lest any man should boast" [Ephesians 2:8-9] ARE you BORN AGAIN?, WATCH and daily EXAMINE yourself to SEE and put away all "WEIGHTS", SIN and DISTRACTIONS, preparing for that glorious day when we shall be TRANSLATED to be with Lord. Therefore, "BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world" [1 Peter 5:8-9]

1. ACCUSER, literally means ADVERSARY or ENEMY and in this case, Satan, the DEVIL, “Be sober, be vigilant; because YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” [1 Peter 5:8-9] Satan is man’s ENEMY not God’s ADVERSARY. How shall CLAY contend against the POTTER, Romans 9:21. Satan was CREATED by God, a CHERUB [Ezekiel 28:14-15] He fights you because all he lost through rebellion and more, God has prepared for His “CHILDREN”, “And if children, then heirs; HEIRS OF GOD, and JOINT-HEIRS WITH CHRIST; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together” [Romans 8:17] Satan, knowing  he cannot derail DIVINE AGENDA, turned ACCUSER, “And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the ACCUSER OF OUR BRETHREN IS CAST DOWN, which ACCUSED THEM BEFORE OUR GOD day and night” [Revelation 12:10]

2. The ACCUSER, for a long time brought “CHARGES” against us in heaven. JOB was a classic example, “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also … Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, DOTH JOB FEAR GOD FOR NOUGHT? … But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face” [Job 1:6,9,11] JOB literally went through “HELL” to “PROVE” himself and overturn the “CHARGES” against him. All glory to JESUS CHRIST, we no longer have to go through “HELL”, the ACCUSER is fallen from heaven and lost the capacity to ACCUSE us before God, “And he said unto them, I beheld SATAN AS LIGHTNING FALL FROM HEAVEN” [Luke 10:18] Instead of a PROSECUTOR dishing ACCUSATIONS against us, we have JESUS CHRIST as our ADVOCATE and INTERCESSOR, “By so much was JESUS MADE A SURETY OF A BETTER TESTAMENT. … Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing HE EVER LIVETH TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR THEM” [Hebrews 7:22,25]

3. Satan is here and remodelled his “WARFARE” into THOUGHTS to weaken the CHURCH with DIVISION, “And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and EVERY CITY OR HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF SHALL NOT STAND” [Matthew 12:25] SPIRIT OF THE ACCUSER is the reason we are quick to see ERRORS in others and without hearing them bring damaging ACCUSATIONS, not considering our own FRAILTIES, “Thou hypocrite, first cast out the BEAM OUT OF THINE OWN EYE; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the MOTE OUT OF THY BROTHER’S EYE” [Matthew 7:5] More hurtful are deep-seated THOUGHTS that war within us, daily questioning our FAITH and FINISHED WORK of the Cross, To add salt to injury, we are pressed on every side by a pervasive SOCIAL MEDIA culture that breeds ANXIETY and FEAR but, “… GOD HATH NOT GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” [2 Timothy 1:7] Truth be told, our sanctimonious “ACCUSATIONS” do not glorify God, “Wherefore RECEIVE YE ONE ANOTHER, AS CHRIST ALSO RECEIVED US to the glory of God” [Romans 15:7]

4. SPIRIT OF THE ACCUSER is ever more aggressive, “… the DEVIL IS COME DOWN unto you, having GREAT WRATH, because he knoweth that HE HATH BUT A SHORT TIME” [Revelation 12:12] He is greatly DISTRESSED because of the “SHORT WORK” the LORD shall make of his “SHORT TIME”, “For he will FINISH THE WORK and cut it short in righteousness: because a SHORT WORK WILL THE LORD MAKE UPON THE EARTH” [Romans 9:28] The “SHORT WORK” is GREAT REVIVAL, the superlative “STIRRING” of the CHURCH by the HOLY GHOST in readiness to be CAUGHT UP with the BRIDEGROOM, “And AT MIDNIGHT THERE WAS A CRY MADE, Behold, the BRIDEGROOM COMETH; GO YE OUT TO MEET HIM. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps” [Matthew 25:6-7] More than at any other time, SPIRIT OF THE ACCUSER is at war in the CHURCH, sowing DISCORD, to prevent the inevitable. It is time to WATCH and PRAY, defuse the SPIRIT OF THE ACCUSER and PRAY DOWN  the GREAT REVIVAL, “WATCH YE and Pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak” [Mark 14:38]

THE BATTLE CRY
1. Every CONFLICT is a BATTLE of WORDS. There is no better example than the primordial clash of LIGHT against DARKNESS, "And the earth was without form, and void; and DARKNESS WAS UPON THE FACE OF THE DEEP. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And GOD SAID, LET THERE BE LIGHT: and THERE WAS LIGHT" [Genesis 1:2-3] LIGHT prevailed but DARKNESS was not extinguished, that the purpose of God might be fulfilled who has appointed a DAY to JUDGE the world and all therein, through JESUS CHRIST [Acts 17:31] Ever since and more so now, LIGHT and DARKNESS have been at each other's throat; CHURCH on one side, reflecting the LIGHT and the WORLD on the other side, enveloped in DARKNESS, "For WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but against principalities, against powers, AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD, against spiritual wickedness in high places" [Ephesians 6:12]  From onset, the BATTLE CRY was the NAME of the Lord, "And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began MEN BEGAN TO CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD" [Genesis 4:26]

 2. The BATTLE is about narratives, each camp determined to enforce his vision on the other. Nowhere is the warfare more evident than in the creeping snare of WORLDLINESS smothering the CHURCH to SLUMBER. Numbers are deceptive; CHURCH attendance is vastly increasing but the LIGHT is dim and PROPHECY fulfilled, "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. ... While the bridegroom tarried, they ALL SLUMBERED AND SLEPT" [Matthew 25:1,5] As we speak, the lines are blurred between CHURCH and the WORLD, the noise of BATTLE muffled by delusions of material "PROSPERITY". The BATTLE CRY has silently given way to worldly slogans and some who once fought valiantly as SOLDIERS of CHRIST have relapsed into affairs of this world, "Thou therefore ENDURE HARDNESS, as a GOOD SOLDIER OF JESUS CHRIST. NO MAN THAT WARRETH ENTANGLETH HIMSELF WITH THE AFFAIRS OF THIS LIFE; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier" [2 Timothy 2:3-4] His NAME, the BATTLE CRY passed to us from the beginning  is as potent as ever, we are the problem; an adulterous generation refusing to "ENDURE HARDNESS".

3. The NIGHT has been long and a new DAWN unfolds before our eyes,  the GREAT REVIVAL is here, "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] GREAT REVIVAL is the final push back against DARKNESS, prelude to our TRANSLATION and COMING of the Lord JESUS CHRIST to "CONSUME" DARKNESS and usher the MILLENIUM of peace and righteousness on earth, "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the LORD SHALL CONSUME WITH THE SPIRIT OF HIS MOUTH, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming" [2 Thessalonians 2:7-8] GREAT REVIVAL is the "AWAKENING" of the CHURCH, the ultimate outpouring of the SPIRIT of CHRIST, "... casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and BRINGING INTO CAPTIVITY EVERY THOUGHT TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST" [2 Corinthians 10:4-5] His NAME is our BATTLE CRY and a "SHORT WORK" He shall make of it [Romans 9:28]

4. King SAUL'S offer of "FAILED ARMOUR" to DAVID against GOLIATH illustrate the tragice HYPOCRISY of this generation [1 Samuel 17:38-39] GOLIATHS of this world fight in the name of their gods [1 Samuel 17:43] The NAME of the LORD alone, subdues them,  "Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I COME TO THEE IN THE NAME OF THE LORD OF HOSTS, the GOD of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied" [1 Samuel 17:45] The LORD is our GOD, His NAME is JESUS CHRIST, in Him dwells the fulness of the GODHEAD [Colossians 2:9] And now, as in Genesis 4:26, there is a mighty "STIRRING" as faithful men call upon His NAME, "... WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME: That AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth" [Philippians 2:9-10] Embers of REVIVAL are  growing in the place of PRAYER into God's END-TIME ARMY. Our BATTLE CRY is JESUS CHRIST, our armoury is the POWER in the REVELATION of His NAME, "Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, ..." [Malachi 3:16]

1. RAIN is synonymous with WATER and WATER, with HOPE and HOPE rooted in God never fails, "For there is HOPE OF A TREE, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; Yet THROUGH THE SCENT OF WATER IT WILL BUD, and BRING FORTH BOUGHS LIKE A PLANT" [Job 14:7-9] JOB was not thinking of droplets of water, his HOPE was anchored on God for a GREAT REVIVAL of His GOODNESS. In excruciating pains and sorrows, JOB acknowledged the FORMER RAIN of God's GOODNESS, Job 2:9-10 and  longed for His LATTER RAIN to restore his JOY and FRUITFULNESS, "... that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and REMEMBER ME! If a man die, shall he live again? ALL THE DAYS OF MY APPOINTED TIME WILL I WAIT, TILL MY CHANGE COME. Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands" Job 14:13-15

2. Every farmer waits for EARLY RAIN and chooses his SEED carefully. God, the ultimate HUSBANDMAN, an old English word for FARMER, released FORMER RAIN at PENTECOST. The SEED was His WORD, the GOSPEL preached in the NAME of JESUS CHRIST in HOPE of bountiful HARVEST of SOULS in His LIKENESS, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" [Galatians 6:7] EARLY/FORMER RAIN softens the earth, the SEED goes in the ground and the farmer's Job is largely done. So is the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST, the strength is not in riches, men or religious organisations but in the WORD and EARLY RAIN; it is UNQUENCHABLE,  "And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should CAST SEED INTO THE GROUND; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear" Mark 4:26-28

3. JOB aptly illustrate the gap between EARLY and LATTER RAIN; HEARTS softened by FORMER RAIN are sooner hardened and watching them wilt under distress, the farmer longs in PATIENCE for the LATTER RAIN, "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. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the COMING OF THE LORD DRAWETH NIGH" [James 5:7-8] As JOB patiently ENDURED his  AFFLICTIONS, TRUSTING in the Lord, so do we in HOPE of HIS COMING. We stand, fully assured of LATTER RAIN before His APPEARANCE and rejoice in HOPE, knowing we shall be matured in His LIKENESS by the outpouring of His SPIRIT. And what a a bountiful HARVEST we shall be to the Lord, "Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest" Isaiah 32:15

4. FORMER RAIN is some 2,000 years old, parched SOULS are wearied and CHURCH fallen into SLUMBER, "While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And AT MIDNIGHT THERE WAS A CRY, Behold, THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps" [Matthew 25:5-7] MIDNIGHT CRY is the rumbling of THUNDER, the mighty rushing sound of LATTER RAIN; a CALL to PRAYER for those who have EARS to HEAR above the many voices in the world,  "...  for there is a SOUND OF ABUNDANCE OF RAIN. ... And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, ... And it came to pass at the SEVENTH TIME, that he said, Behold, there ariseth A LITTLE CLOUD out of the sea, like a man's hand. ... And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was A GREAT RAIN" [1 Kings 18:41-42,44-45]
