Much of the modern Church seems to have this ongoing love affair with the world. There has been a steady stream of one compromise after another. In many places, compromise leads to apostasy! The Remnant are crying out, “No more compromise!” It is time to reverse this curse from Babylon and return to the faith once delivered to the saints!
Anything and everything are on the Internet. We are in an age of information (and speculation) overload. YouTube is filled with many ministers with little training offering prophetic theories, wild suppositions, and varying doctrine positions. There has never been a greater need for developing the expertise for proper theological research led by the Holy Spirit than we have today. The Remnant must develop the skills of a faithful Berean and discern truth from error.
We are entering a period in which the enemy will be in overdrive to stop what God is doing, and, at the same time, we will see God moving in power and divine judgment. The Remnant must be ready for what lies before us in 2024 and beyond. Having our lives free from demonic entanglement and knowing how to drive our demonic forces is an integral part of our strategies in this conflict between light and darkness.
Mystery Babylon has been working overtime to fill both the Western world and the Church with the traditions of men and religious spirits to neutralize the power and influence of God in society. We are in a season where God is anointing His people to drive the religious spirits out of ourselves and our assemblies. Heaven wants to pour new wine and a fresh anointing, but it will only come to those who have driven the religious spirits out of their midst.
There is no more time for games. Judgment is going to start in the House of God and then forward to judge Mystery Babylon. It is the task of the Remnant to wash themselves in repentance and the Word to ensure no trace of Babylon remains in or on them! The Body needs to be free, whole, and empowered by Heaven to move forth for the final Harvest for our King.
The priesthood of darkness has been working tirelessly to weaken the body of Christ and to destroy Western civilization for their matrix of a one-world occult order. However, God is also moving, and the Remnant must wake up out of spiritual slumber, bring self-correction, and restore biblicity in the Body once again. This year will be pivotal in this cosmic conflict.
This year (2024) will be marked as a time of purifying, accelerated learning, and fresh empowerment for the Remnant. It will also be marked with the enemy of humanity placing key elements of control into place to enslave all of humankind and to prepare them for the arrival of the son of perdition. Our task is to yield to the time of preparation by the Spirit of God so that we will be prepared for the days ahead.
We know from scripture that God will eventually judge Mystery Babylon. He is also preparing to judge many things now, even as we race toward His ultimate judgment. In this hour, the judgment is proportional to how the Church judges itself and returns to Kingdom purity. Heaven asks, “How deep do you want me to do?” God will radically judge if we go deep and radically cleanse our lives from the stench of Babylon.
In Judges 12:1-7, we read a story that could be reflected in today’s headlines regarding the Church. The Ammonites threatened God’s people. There was a leader of the Gileadites named Jephthah. Almighty God had raised Jephthah as a judge to deal with this threat. Jephthah had reached out to the tribe of Ephraim for assistance, but Ephraim refused to assist him. Once God gave Jephthah the victory, Ephraim rose in jealousy and threatened to burn his house down with him and his family in it. Jealousness among ministries and leaders is still common today. We need to move beyond the works of the flesh and become Kingdom-oriented in all we do to move on to God’s promises!
