PUBLISHER’S LETTER
I
t is a great privilege and honor to share and spread the gospel of the Kingdom of God and share the knowledge of His goodness and power in times of trouble and pressure. We see and experience many things which may not have been possible in our minds, yet is it happening. At times it seems like history is repeating itself. Things are changing and moving in a direction which at times is difficult to fathom, yet everything is encapsulated within eternity. We capture moments and times that are valuable, yet as time moves on, it may feel like we have not done enough to have a better and ideal peaceful world. In the light of this, His Words stands and continues through all the ages and seasons; it is the same yesterday, today and forever. Seasons and times may change, but we know we can stand on Him who never changes. As we walk with Him, we know that He will keep and love us. We know He will be our ever present source of heavenly joy to constantly draw from. What He has deposited within us will be seen, regardless of the times and our experiences in this world. With the Holy Spirit, His truth will be our reality and we will be able to discern the signs of times in which we live. We are to live honestly by His Kingdom’s laws as true citizens and joint heirs with Christ Jesus.
IIn Him,

The Message Discerning the Times Today’s world is in the grips of a crisis of biblical proportions. The apostle Paul wrote to the church at Thessalonica about their discernment of “the times and the seasons” of that day, and gave them instructions concerning what they were to do (1 Thess. 5:1-11). He described that season as days of “darkness,” and that term applies to our own day. Our generation is in a time of moral darkness, as evidenced by the debauchery and the filth spewing from Hollywood, television, the music industry, and novels. It’s unbelievable that we have become almost chloroformed by the ungodly spirit of this age, not even realizing the depth of depravity as our children are listening and bebopping to the lyrics of rock music that are nothing but absolute, pure, unadulterated obscenities. It’s a time of spiritual darkness. Eastern religions and cults have invaded our land, and in the name of tolerance many churches have compromised to the point of having “interfaith” services, and are teaching that there are many ways to heaven. It’s a time of social darkness, with movements such as “woke,”“cancel culture,” and “critical race theory” causing confusion and division among the populace. Gender identification has become a matter of choice, to the extent that there is even a demand that birth certificates no longer identify babies as “boy” or “girl.” Already most documents that call for gender identification have the options of “male,”“female,” and “other,” and some even given further options. Children from kindergarten age are indoctrinated to view samegender marriages with adopted children as normal and happy families. It’s a time of educational darkness, with history revised and the “three Rs” dropped in favor of diversification, whatever that is. The result is students who know nothing of the foundations of our nation, who can’t write their own names in cursive, who can’t write a complete sentence, because they know nothing about the parts of speech or cases or agreement between pronouns and antecedents, and who can’t make change at a McDonald’s counter if the cash register fails. It’s a time of political darkness, with politicians so dumbfounded that they think the way to cure a problem is to pour enough money on it and it will go away, and who are naïve enough to think that they can bring unity and stop violence by taking away all restraints and assure the rights of the person who breaks the law while denying the rights of the person who keeps the law. The result is chaos and anarchy. It’s a time of calamities and famines and problems that are pandemic in nature, and there are troubles on every hand. It’s a time of darkness, and there are all kinds of socalled prophets, new agers, astrologers, mediums, psychologists, sociologists, economists,
❝ Thank God, He has a plan for His people in this day of darkness...❞ scientists, environmentalists, and others who have theories on what to do, but “if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle?” (1 Cor. 14:8). Thank God, He has a plan for His people in this day of darkness, and we need to appeal to the word of God to learn the principles of understanding the times and what to do in times of crisis. 4

There is an interesting example of discerning the times in 1 Chronicles 12. There was a time of crisis in the kingdom of Israel that was threatening to tear the nation apart. King Saul was dead, and the leaders of the tribe of Benjamin wanted to establish a Saul dynasty that would keep the kingship in their tribe. However, the other tribes thought otherwise, and they met in Hebron to crown David as king of Israel. The narrative lists the various groups of representatives, but the ones named in verse 32 are of particular interest. Two hundred men of Issachar “who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do” were assigned the duty of prophetic discernment. Their mission was to observe, listen, and ultimately declare what the will of God was for God’s people. They were bold, courageous, uncompromising, unwavering men who, having discerned what was happening, would know exactly what to do. The word “understanding” translates the Hebrew word binah, which comes from a root verb that means to separate something mentally and to distinguish its component parts. The word describes a situation in which one has insight into the circumstances and events and acts with prudence. The word also carries the idea of the possession of intelligence, wisdom, and cunning skill. In other words, one who truly discerns a situation has more than an understanding of the facts. He skillfully analyzes the matter and knows the action to take. On the occasion described in 1 Chronicles 12, the men of Issachar used the gift of discernment that God had given them to analyze what was happening, what it all meant, and what must be done. They saw the larger picture in light of the prophetic word of God. God had not decreed the Continues on page 5
Continued from page 4 Discerning the Times
establishment of a dynasty to keep the kingship in the tribe of Benjamin. On the contrary, He had said that the scepter would come out of the tribe of Judah, and He had specifically commanded that David would be the king. In the global pandemic that our generation has been experiencing, as indeed in all times of hardship, we need the ability to analyze correctly the situation and to know what to do. Discernment of the times is more than an understanding of biblical doctrines and teaching basic principles of the Bible. That ability is important, but there must also be the ability to know how to apply the truths of God’s word to the issues that we are facing today. The Bible always has the answer to every culture and to every generation, but in order to apply the truth of Scripture in an effective and meaningful way, we must have a correct understanding of the uniqueness of our times. The men of Issachar not only understood what God was doing, but they knew how to respond to what God was doing. We can understand the times and understand what the Bible says, but understanding means nothing unless we act upon that information. We must respond and apply the truth in a way that the world around us can understand. In contrast, many pastors and denominational leaders have cowardly chosen to allow modern culture and public opinion to dictate belief and behavior. The church is not to be like a hot air balloon, driven by the winds of opinion and unable to follow the course that God has ordained. The church is to be like a sailboat, with its sails unfurled to the wind of the Holy Spirit and a rudder that takes the power of that wind and uses it to go in the direction that God chooses. God always has servants like the men of Issachar, born for the times, with the understanding of the times, and able to offer the needed solutions and lead the way out of the crisis. They may be ordinary people, as most were who were chosen by God, unrecognized by the world, but ready to stand up without hesitation and compromise to declare the discernment that God gives. In 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Paul reveals three things that should characterize us in times of darkness. First, we should be aware. Verse 4 tells us that we should not be surprised at what happens. We are not in darkness, so we don’t have to live in hysteria, fearful that the day of the Lord will overtake us as a thief. We can lay the Bible alongside today’s newspaper and by the Holy Spirit we can discern what’s going on. God’s people are the only ones who can make sense out of the situation, and we look to Jesus for deliverance, not to some magical panacea. We are aware that the only hope for this dark world is the blessed hope of the return of Jesus Christ. In verses five and six we learn that we should be awake. We are not to live in a comatose state of spiritual indifference or apathy, unconcerned about the things of God. We are always to be alert, with an expectation of the Lord’s return. God’s alarm clock is going off all around us, telling us that it’s time to wake up, get up,
and go out to stand up for Christ. Verse eight tells us how we are to maintain our readiness as we anticipate the Lord’s return. After we wake up we are to dress up, not in street clothes but in armor. Paul mentions particularly two pieces of armor, because there are two areas, the heart and the head, that we need to guard in this day of surrounding darkness. We are to cover the heart with the breastplate of faith and love, which protects us from the attacks of doubt. Our success ultimately depends not on how well we keep watching, but on God’s untiring faithfulness in keeping watch over us. When we shield our hearts with love, we are willing to endure when others might fail. Love creates an allegiance to the Lord. It allows us to see as God does and to feel the needs of others. The helmet of hope helps protects one’s faith when life comes crashing down with persecutions and injustices by constantly reminding the believer one day Christ will return and make all things right. In the New Testament, hope does not mean wishful thinking, with uncertainty that the thing wished for may actually happen. Hope means solid certainty, a confident expectation and assurance that leaves no room for the slightest element of doubt. So biblical hope is not a feeling. It is a fact based upon the firm foundation of the word of God, a reality so certain that we can speak of the future in the past tense. This is why, like the men of Issachar, we can discern the times and proclaim openly and boldly what God would have us do. ✽

AWAKE, YE REMNANTS SO THEN ALSO IN THE PRESENT TIME THERE HAS BEEN A REMNANT ACCORDING TO THE [DIVINE] SELECTION OF GRACE [GOD’S FAVOR];
ROMANS 11:5
Take a Deep Breath!!! The House of Israel shall be restored but not in the physical sense anymore but rather through the reconstruction of Elohim’s Spiritual Temple through His Divine Grace. In our times, the modern Israel of God is not that tiny piece of land in the Middle East anymore, but rather, the House of Israel are now those living temples, handpicked by God Himself. This group of people shall carry out what the Biblical Israel has failed to do from generation to generation. John the beloved exposed the present nature of Jerusalem, the absolute truth about the whole country of Israel during their time. He said in the book of Revelation 11:8, “And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified”. That is why Jesus Christ commanded the Apostles to find the lost sheep of Israel, because those who are to carry the purpose of Israel are not in the country called Israel. And according to the Apostle James in his epistle, “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting”. The Lost sheep of Israel were scattered abroad. God is so wise that He deported His sheep out of that country Israel to preserve His nation Israel from corruption. So as times goes by, God has been very patient, hiding His name-bearer and is excited ever since to expose the true Israel nation, which He Himself has built. What I’m trying to say is that the Israel as a country today, is not the Israel-nation that God had established before. Lord Baron Rothschild was the one to establish the country they now call Israel through the Balfour Declaration. And it was Elohim, nonetheless, who established a nation called Israel through the Father’s love, conceived by the Holy Spirit and produced by Jesus Christ. God’s Israel was reestablished when the blood and water
flowed from the side of the LORD Jesus Christ. And since then, from generation to generation, the nation of Israel was hidden and preserved. And from faith to faith, it shall be exposed today by those who are living under the righteousness of God, which is solely manifested by the sons of God. And it shall come to pass, in the place where it was said to them, “‘You are [a]not My people,’ There it shall be said to them, “You are sons of the living God,” Hosea 1:10. “Who has heard such as this and who sees things such as these? The Earth is in labor in one day and a people is born in one moment, because she was in labor and Zion bore her children”, Isaiah 66:8. Zion represents the Kingdom of God and her children, the sons of God who has believed and have their faith on the cornerstone of Zion—Jesus Christ. This global pandemic is like a woman’s morning sickness in the spiritual realm. The worst is yet to come as the birth of sons of God gets closer, and the nation of Israel will be born again. If you are experiencing difficulties despite walking according to God’s conviction of righteousness in you; I tell you now, you are about to be born again as a certified son of God who has legitimate claims before His throne. Matthew 25:34, “Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” “Ye Blessed”, in this verse, means those who have been consecrated, those who have been set apart by the Father. In Greek, blessed also is “eulogia” or “eulogy”. In other words, “Because you have undoubtedly carried your cross and put to death your old self, that human nature, day after day, a time is coming, the Father says, that I will make a public statement, for the world to know that I AM the God, who created the heavens and the earth. The Father shall endorse His nation of sons, the true Israel, and they will extend the Father’s House to the four corners of the Earth. Then, in the fullness of time, the Holy Spirit shall deliver a nation out of the Father’s bosom to be received by the Earth. They will be a nation scattered among nations and territories appointed by the King Himself. They will be under the command of the Governor of the Kingdom and blessed with an assignment from the Father in Heaven. The Father is calling and saying to you now, “Wake up, My child and stand up as My son, unleash that remnant anointing inside you.” ✽

Priest and King: Qualifications and Rights (Excerpt from The Blood of a King by Pepe Ramnath)
Everything was functioning perfectly until Adam fell and our blood became infected. Sealed doors were immediately opened causing major physical, emotional and spiritual malfunction. The reason for this malfunction resulted on a violation of the creator’s principles that was placed all life in the blood. The most comfortable and perfect place in storing life was in the blood. Life seems to beautifully snuggle itself perfectly inside of the blood that fills the human body.
The symbiotic relationship between blood, life and the body remind me of the triunity of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Life is very comfortable in blood and it is evenly distributed throughout the flesh through each cell. Leviticus 17:11 (NKJV) 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’ The Hebrew word for flesh in Leviticus 17:11 is ‘ בשרbasar’, which means, the tissues or a collection of cells. These cells make up the entire body, the living creature. Blood is fundamental to the function of every cell and every component in our bodies. Cells need food to survive, grow, repair themselves and to fulfill their specific functions and to reproduce itself. Cellular food is found and transported in the blood to provide energy for all the needs of the cells. Humans are multicellular organisms, having separate specialized organs with specific functions, transport and communication skills between these structures, all which are very important and essential.
Blood is the most accurate historian of the past and a prophet of the future. Do the cells of our body tell the blood how it should work? Absolutely not! The blood provides leadership for trillions of cells. The cells and the blood work together to provide the best and optimum conditions for the functioning. It is in all the tissues and organs of the whole body, including the blood cells that the body fully functions. Blood provides this coordinated environment by regulating acidity/alkalinity (pH), providing oxygen and removing carbon dioxide and other waste products out of the body. It carries the essential vitamins and minerals that is much needed in the body. Very important, blood has to be in the right places at the right time and at the right temperature and pressure to keep us alive. It carries regulatory messages between organs by blood ‘messengers’ called hormones. The entire system is well organized within very specific limits because if it strays outside of these parameters through injuries, diseases, toxins, and more. It can rapidly reduce its functionality. God has carefully crafted this liquid, in such a way, that it can hold life and distribute it carefully and record its journey in the process.
God has carefully crafted this liquid, in such a way, that it can hold life and distribute it carefully and record its journey in the process. The blood also has an incredible ability to store the entire history of the human race within its structural composition. This history includes iniquity, our forefather’s genetic material or simply generational line curses. The history blood stores can also hold
us hostage if we do not close the doors protecting us from repetition. It is the most accurate historian and prophet of the future. Blood has a natural ability to stop internal and external bleeding, fight microbes, and heal injuries. There are many other functions of the blood we are not even aware of yet. Jesus’ blood came to restore and reinforce the original power and purpose that was generally found in all human blood. It is this liquid solution that life is circulated throughout our bodies. The restoration of human blood came through the blood of Jesus.
God used a physical solution, Blood, to fix problems that resulted in not following instructions. Because of man’s vulnerability God gave a set of instructions and responsibilities to a group of people he called priests. The priests were to place seven drops of blood on the mercy seat of a box called the Ark of the Covenant to stop death and the destruction of humanity. Leviticus 16:14 (ESV) “And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the front of the mercy seat on the east side, and in front of the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.” Ever since that time, blood had to be applied seven times through ceremonial laws until Jesus would show up and shed His blood in seven areas of his body. Jesus’ Blood would close those same seven doors that was closed with the ceremonial sprinkling, Continues on page 8

but this time through divine laws. Imagine Jesus dipping the hyssop into His own blood and applying it over the door posts of every man, woman and child. But He had to abide by the established laws of God. He had to become our High Priest in order for Him to properly apply Blood since a Priest was the only one qualified to apply blood legally and according to the law. We see Aaron became a Priest after Moses sprinkled blood and anoint him with oil. Moses knew the law. Jesus had to be sprinkled with blood to become a Priest. Guess what? It was His own blood that qualified Him. As His blood spilled from His body from the Garden of Gethsemane up until the cross it covered His entire body qualifying Him to be Priest. Hebrews 4:14-16 (KJV) 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
Jesus’ own Blood qualified Him to be Priest According to the original Laws of the Country of the Kingdom of Heaven, as stated in the constitution of Leviticus 16:14 only a Priest can apply Blood and only a King can declare & decree the blessings that follows thereafter. The objective and purpose of this Law was never broken by Jesus but rather fulfilled when He substituted His blood in exchange for the animal instead. Well, Jesus took care of the issue of King and Priest and He used His own Blood to qualify us. The Blood of Jesus did not only qualify us but made us legally both Kings and Priests according to Rev 1:5-6. The Blood of Jesus has changed our position and status from sinners to Kings to Priests. Revelation 1:5-6 (KJV) 5 ...Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us Kings and Priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Abel’s Blood was shed against his will, but Jesus willingly gave His Blood. Abel’s Blood was sprinkled on earth, but Jesus’ blood was sprinkled in the Holy of Holies.
Using the precepts of the Kingdom to effectively apply the Blood of Jesus will certainly reshape and change our philosophy and its culture in closing all seven doors that opened up to the destruction of man after the fall. We are a triune being made up of blood, flesh, tissues, stem cells, doors in our cells with our spirit leading and our soul mediating. With a mix of Kings and Priests we are now a nation of royalty, a true nation of a royal priesthood.
According to the Laws of the country of the Kingdom of Heaven, only a Priest can apply Blood and only a King can declare and decree the blessings that follows thereafter. 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV) 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” After we have applied the Blood of Jesus as Priests over the doorpost of our being there is a feeling of euphoria. We are literally high in the spirit and sense an overwhelming feeling of power that gives us a feeling of boldness and confidence to rule on earth again, but this time as Kings. May we, as legal royal priests, rise up and sprinkle the Blood of the King hidden the Lamb seven times over the mercy seat. And let this Blood now close, lock and seal all seven doors that was opened to the destruction of the human species. As these doors are now closed. Let us walk in our total royalty again for we are Kings and Priests from a nation that will walk the earth again.✽

Discerning the Times or Things of the Coming Ages We do not have to live blindly in the current age or be unprepared for the age to come.
In the Bible we have seen where God prepares His people to live in the current age and the ages come. In Daniel 2: 21 it says, “He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.” The Greek word for change is Allagi, means shift or transition. I believe, there is a massive change, shifting, transition on earth, which moves us from glory to glory and faith to faith, where the will and purpose of God will stand forever. A question to ask, we must answer is, “time shifting, is it for s set up or for a setup?” What do I mean by “set up” or “setup?” Set up is a verb and refers to the action of putting things in order or arranging them. Setup is a noun and means the way in which something is arranged, where somebody does something instantly for you. Here are some biblical examples of setup. 1. Mary was set up to marry Joseph, but God setup her womb to deliver the “Messiah.” 2. Paul was set up to go to Damascus, but God setup his journey to become an Apostle to the Gentiles. God changes the times and seasons for His purpose and will, so we should be prepared at all times. Let’s check the times we are in, where everyone is busy preparing for some task. Think about the word preparation, it means, the action or process of making something ready for use or service or of getting ready for some occasion, test, or duty; something that is prepared specifically, a substance made ready for use. Here are a few key preparations needed for shifting your set up or setup!
SHIFTING TIME SET UP FOR SELF-PREPARATIONS Time to set up ourselves in preparation for our spiritual growth; it takes time to prepare. Time is defined as the duration in which all things happen, or a precise instant that something happens. For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation. He has made everything beautiful in its time; He has also set eternity in the human heart, yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him.” The word for “times” (Greek chronos:) refers to the general timeframe of events in God’s plan, whereas the word for “seasons” (Greek kairos:) carries the meaning of fixed or special occasions. If you have an to remember you set your alarm clock. It gives the time you start to act or do something
here on earth and there are set times for everything. For example, there is a season for a baby to walk; a seed to sprout; or a bird to fly. Everything has its own time for a purpose and we are the ones who set those times in our environment.
SHIFTING TIME FOR SELF- DISCERNMENT Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; Whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right, And the righteous will walk in them, But transgressors will stumble in them. Lets take a look for the word discern. The Hebrew term is biyn, meaning discern. Biyn can mean to mentally separate or distinguish. It means to understand, deal wisely, pay attention to, regard, consider, notice, perceive, inquire, and discern. Discerning means, to see and identify by noting a difference or differences; to note the distinctive character of; to discriminate; to distinguish. Philippians 1:9-10 says, “And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ;” The times and seasons are a set up, but there is also a sudden setup in God’s perfect plan and will for His purpose. During this time and season, you must show up, because you are setup for this season. For this, I give all praise and honor to our Abba Father. ✽

THE KINGDOM OF BLESSING During this time of battles, fights, arguments and unrest, we see
in the Bible that there is light, hope and people who are called and are of the realm of light and peace. In Matthew 5:1-12, Jesus mentioned to his disciples those who are blessed, this is known as the Lord’s Sermon at the Mount. I believe in times of chaos, war and disorder, His words are still relevant, which is, there are blessings and blessed people. The beatitudes begin with the word “blessed,” which refers to divine favor, supreme blessedness and ecstatic joy that will be bestowed on anyone who possesses a particular character attribute in accordance with the Heavenly Kingdom’s beatitude. This is equivalent to Christ’s other definition, “Rejoice and be exceedingly glad…” which is based on the same ideas as Luke 6:23, “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy!” The condition of real and lasting happiness is a wonderful privilege of becoming a citizen of the Kingdom. He teaches us that everyone who possesses these divine inner attributes is happy, blessed, prosperous, fortunate and to be envied. This is a declaration of assurance and anticipation for our rewards in the future. The beatitude is the behavior and values of the King of Glory to be emulated by the King’s children; it is rich with meaning and inspiration, and it is well worth learning to ensure that we have been enculturated in God’s divine nature. Let us look at one of the verses in the chapter mentioned earlier that we must know as sons of God in this season. In Matthew 5:9 it says, “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.” The children of darkness always propagate anti-peace attitudes and exhibit negative, critical, judgmental attitudes toward others, which breeds anger and mistrust, leading to resentment, hostility and violence. The children of light, on the other hand, play the part of a dependable peacekeeper who encourages harmony and persuades others to adopt this peaceful environment free of mental agitation an chaos. Peace is a primary goal for the Kingdom because it is so precious to the King’s heart. He wants us to be content, satisfied, and fulfilled. Peacemakers and maintainers aided in the relief of hostility during war, as well as the bringing together of communities, and peace is the overall environment of God’s reign in all of creation. Indeed, “if you are a peace lover and maintainer, you preserve a positive, respectful environment at all times.” We become vessels of His peace in every city by demonstrating a confident, anxiety-free life and we completely reflect the Father’s Spirit. Peacemakers exhibit Kingdom culture as they collaborate with God to transform troubles and upset lives. God’s people must dedicate and spend effort to create a peaceful environment as a result of the good news that God’s Kingdom has brought to them. As Prince of Peace and author of real tranquility that protects our hearts and minds, the Lord Jesus breaks down walls of strife and hostility, leading the world in a bloodless revolution. As it is written that the peacemakers will be called
Sons of God. Discovering our lost identity in the Garden of Eden is the highest status anyone might ever think or imagine to attain: heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ Jesus, able to walk in the authority of the first Adam, who subdued, managed, and controlled the world once more. This sacred honor and calling outweighs all the world can offer, 1 John 3:1-2; Rev. 21:5-7. Do not be discouraged because of persecution when you are walking in the Word as a Child of God. Remember, you are blessed when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you, Matt. 5:12. Do not faint not and do not weary for you are of the Almighty! ✽

DISCERNING THE TIMES OR THE THINGS OF THE COMING AGE In teaching His disciples to pray, Jesus
taught them to pray, “‘Our Father, who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Jesus was teaching His disciples and showing the church how to usher in the government of heaven to intervene on the earth through the power of prayer. He was also teaching them the importance of knowing how to corporate with heaven in working out God´s will on the earth as it is in heaven through prayer but also prophetic and apostolic guidance and actions. The Lord is calling His children to discern the times or the coming age because He wants us to know how to agree with His will and usher in His government so His will is done on earth as it is in heaven. The Book of Ephesians 5:17 says,“Therefore do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is.” Paul in His letter to the Ephesians was admonishing, and calling the church to wake up from slumber and live as a wise church because of the reality of evil. As God seeks to express His will in all of life through the church, the dominion of darkness is also seeking ways to express the will of its master. One of the spiritual gifts (special abilities given by the grace and extraordinary power of the Holy Spirit operating in believers), is the ability to discern spiritual realities trying to subvert the purposes of God (either through demonic activities or man-made religions, cults, or worldviews not completely aligned in theology to the Biblical Christian worldview). God has given the church the ability to walk in the gift
of discernment in other to recognize or identify or to find out or to come to know or to see or understand the difference between what is meant to give us life or what is seeking to steal, kill or destroy. If the church does not keep discerning the times we live in or the age to come, we will not be able to influence lives or nations effectively. We may even miss opportunities of resisting the dominion of darkness in trying to usher in its rule or government in influencing lives in destructive ways. God´s desire is for His kingdom to come and for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. And He has put in place systems through which we can partner with Him in seeing these realities happen. The Bible tells us, “Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7). God wants to reveal His plans to His children and also make those plans find natural expression in everyday life through the office of the Prophet or the Spirit of Prophecy. There are prophetic destinies of people, families, communities, and nations documented in the scrolls of heaven, and it will take a prophetic company of kingdom citizens who know how to access the will of God, to release such from the kingdom realm into the earth realm. Prayer is one of the powerful kingdom systems, God has set in place for His children to discern the times or the things of the coming age. The Lord is awakening His prayer warriors and intercessors to arise and take their governmental places as gatekeepers. He wants to show us what to pray for and how to pray as He speaks, and reveals His purposes.
❝ Prophet Habakkuk says, “I will stand at my guard post And station myself on the watchtower; And I will keep watch to see what He will say to me, And how I may reply when I am reprimanded” (Habakkuk 2:1, NASB). ❞
For us to keep discerning the times, we must be intentional in taking our spiritual positions of governing in the Spirit, to keep watch, to see and hear what the Father is saying, so we can release it on the earth through prayer and Holy Spirit inspired actions. God is good in His very essence as Father, and He wants people and the nations to keep enjoying His goodness. The will of God is for us to keep experiencing and enjoying His abundant life and as such He is calling us to stand at our guard post and keep watch, to see and hear how we can continue to partner with Him in releasing His kingdom will in a world desperately in need of help that comes from His Kingdom realm. ✽

Kingdom Messengers Italy
Discerning the times and the “Kingdom Train” Yeshua invites us to discern the spiritual things (Mt. 16:1-4), the signs of his return and of the end of the world (Mt. 24:32-34), and the time when we are visited by God (Lc. 12: 54-56 and Lk. 19:44).
WHAT DOES ‘TO DISCERN’ MEAN? To discerning means to understand, to recognize, to distinguish, to consider diligently, and to decide. Discernment is a decision-making process in which an individual makes a discovery that can lead to future action. In the process of spiritual discernment, God guides the individuals to help them arrive at the best decision in the right time according to his will. For it is God who works in us to will and to act in order to fulfil his good purpose (Phil. 2:13). Discernment is therefore necessary to make right decisions at the right time. In this process, discerning the times is essential to recognize the specific moment when God is doing something and wants as to cooperate with him. So that we can be part of God’s manifesting purpose, receiving the honour and the benefit of being channels for it. YHWH is well pleased with us asking him to have understanding to discern what is right (1 King 3:11), given that the wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way (Pr. 14:8). We are therefore called to discern what is the will of God for any specific time he appointed for his will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. This is a moral necessity to avoid misleading paths and to be qualified for timely doing Kingdom work. Yeshua was saying that from the natural we should learn a lesson to discern the spiritual. We are called to understand when the heavenly appointed times are coming to their fullness in history. For when God will act, we may respond appropriately. Unless we do not discern the times!
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE MEAN BY “TIME” OR “TIMES”? There is indeed a difference between the two Greek words that are used for time both in the LXX Old Testament version and the New Testament. One word is Kairos, which means the right, critical, opportune moment, or season for action. And Chronos, referring to chronological and sequential time, such as a day or an hour. Chronos is quantitative, Kairos has a qualitative, permanent nature.
Kairos means the appointed time in the purpose of God. For example, we are in such a time when: 1. God acts as in Mk 1:15, when Yeshua said that “the time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand”. Or in Gal. 4:4, where Paul wrote “when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons”. And 2. Men have an opportunity for an existential decision at the right time and in the right place, the coming of the Messiah being the prime example.
HOW CAN WE DISCERN THE DIVINELY APPOINTED TIMES? Once we are citizens of the Kingdom of God, we become partakers of the divine nature. It is the Holy Spirit who gives us the ability to discern. He entrusts us with a specific gift to discern the spirits and gives us his wisdom, understanding, counsel, power, knowledge, and inspires us with the holy fear of YHWH to make right decisions at the right times. In the Bible we find that discernment was a gift specially given to the clans of Issachar. They were mighty warriors (1 Chr. 7:5), men who had discernment of the Kairos, to know what Israel ought to do (1 Chr. 12:32). We are confident that in times as these, in which the signs are aligning with biblical prophecies as never before, the Holy Spirit is raising a new generation of mighty warriors with a double portion of the gift given to Issachar. They will have understanding of the times to know what to do. Discerning the times is a gift, a spiritual ability that we need at any moment of our lives, either individually or corporately. Each “Kairos” is like a heavenly train that passes by. Whenever we discern that it is coming, we can help people to be willing and ready to jump on. And we will surely not miss it either. As Paul prayed, I also do: “It is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment” (Phil. 1:9). ✽

The Time Of The Coming Age The End Time is considered as the period between Christ’s ascension control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers into heaven and His return – The Second Coming.
In the gospel of Mark 13:5-36, Jesus forewarned his disciples about the events to come, so that they may not be alarmed or fall prey to the overwhelming crisis, trials and tribulations. Jesus warning was not just for the disciples, but for all of us today. The disciples were encouraged with the phases: 1. “You must be on your guard.” (verse 9, 23 and 33). 2. “Do not be alarmed!” (verse7) 3. “Stand firm to the end.”(verse 13) 4. “Watch out….(verse 5) 5. “ Keep Watch.” (verse 35) 6. “ Be alert!” (verse 33)
of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying it’s power.” Paul went on to say that “…who are all loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth; men of deceitful minds. Who as far as the faith is concerned are rejected. But they will not get very far,”2 Timothy 3.” When we examine the adjectives describing the behavior of ungodly men, those are people who are the embodiment of Sin. Their sinful behaviors will be extreme and excessive. Today we, just like the disciples are encouraged as well to watch the signs of the times, not just the SIGNS in world events, natural disasters, social and moral decay, but signs of our Spiritual state. We must watch and pray so that we are not easily distracted by the affairs of this world, our fleshly deeds and desires or the schemed of the enemy.
Jesus assured the disciples that whenever they are arrested and put on trial, “Do not worry beforehand about what to say.”The Holy Spirit will We can only remain faithful to the word of God if we are devoted to speak on their behalf. He warned them not be asleep when He returns, prayer and fasting. A prayer life allows God to “forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” We must allow the Holy Spirit to but to be vigilant doing the work He left them to do. teach us what he wants us to know and strengthen us so that we may be Jesus warned the disciples that they would be subjected to persecution able to endure hardship and be obedient to him. for His name sake. “Such things must happen but the end is still to come.” He concluded with a stern warning by saying, “What I say to Jesus warned us about these times. How are we living? Are we bearing fruits? Jesus said “A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit. You will know you, I say to everyone, Watch!” them by their fruit.” Matt 7:18-20. He wants us to have genuine love, Jesus went on to say that the time would be so unbearable, that some peace, patience, self-control, gentleness, and goodness towards each will come in his name and deceive many who are vulnerable and looking other. for a quick fix. We must be mindful that we are not fighting for victory, but for a place Jesus referenced, “keep watch, stand” and “be on your guard” more than of victory. We are not victims but victorious, through his Son Jesus who once in this passage, it speaks to the severity of the events which are conquered death, hell and the grave. The Holy spirit enables us to do all to come. He reinforced the urgency of not being caught off guard, nor that is needed to fulfill God’s plan and purpose as we embrace and live out the endtimes. Like the Apostle Paul said, “For we have this treasure being caught asleep. in jars of clay to show that this all-surprising power is from God and Jesus spoke of wars, nations rising against nations, kingdoms against not from us,” 2 Cor. 4:7. kingdoms , earthquakes, famine, brothers will turn on each other, and children against their parents, having their parents put to death. Fathers “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but will betray their children and those who proclaim the Gospel will be not despaired; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down; but not destroyed.” hated because of me, Mark 13:13. The apostle Paul spoke of the kind of behavior we ought to expect from the ungodly men in the last days; “People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-
“For the power of God dwelling within us and the Holy Spirit enabling us each day, we set forth to do the works of the Lord that we have courage and strength to press forward towards the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus,” Philippians 3:14-15. ✽

The Sons of Issachar OF THE SONS OF ISSACHAR, MEN WHO UNDERSTOOD THE TIMES, WITH KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT ISRAEL SHOULD DO, THEIR CHIEFS WERE TWO HUNDRED; AND ALL THEIR KINSMEN WERE AT THEIR COMMAND. 1 CHRONICLES 12:32 1 Chronicles 12 gives a description of the Sons of Issachar. They are described as mighty men, men of understanding, men full of knowledge. The word understanding is the Hebrew word binah, which means “to have insight or to act with prudence.”According to Strong’s Concordance, it comes from a root verb that means to separate something mentally and distinguish its parts. The word reflects the presence of intelligence and wisdom, even cunning and skill, in the process. In other words, this is not just an understanding of the facts, but a skillful analysis of what something truly means. They were men who knew what was happening and because they did, they brought encouragement to David and his men. Have you studied the Word of God in such a way that you can bring hope to those who may be discouraged and gave up on God? Do we recognize the devaluation of life fueled by a humanistic system that lowers man to the level of nothing more than another beast of the field? Are we disturbed by the senseless violence that is often perpetrated by children? Do we really have a grasp on what God has given us in His word about the times we are living in? 1 Peter 3:15 tells us, “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.” • The culture we live in is upside down; it is called the cancel or woke culture. • We Live in a godless society, calling right wrong and wrong right. • The times we live in are extremely dangerous times, they are filled with senseless violence and destruction. • Our world and the church have turned to drugs and alcohol instead of seeking the true and living God, who according to Isaiah 53:4 “… hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.” Only the Word of God can give us a true estimate of the times we live in. let us look at some passages together: 2 Timothy 3:1-5 - But mark this:
There will be terrible times in the last days: Let us look at what will be going on according to scripture. I made a list out of 2 Timothy 3:1-5 1. People will be lovers of themselves 2. Lovers of money 3. Boastful 4. Proud 5. Abusive 6. Disobedient to their parents 7. Ungrateful 8. Unholy 9. Without love 10. Unforgiving 11. Slanderous, without self-control 12. Brutal 13. Not lovers of the good 14. Treacherous 15. Rash 16. Conceited 17. Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. Wow, what a list! The Sons of Issachar were analysts. They studied the times, the political climate, and the spiritual climate; because they were wise, they knew how to take the word of God and apply it to what was going on at that time. Let us see what an analyst does. Analysts give guidance to businesses, government entities and individuals on financial and business decisions. An analyst collects data on business performance and develops statistical reports. They identify areas of improvement and create a recommended plan to streamline processes. 2 Peter 3:3-4 - Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing, and following their own evil desires.They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation. Wisdom is the ability to take the word of God and apply it to circumstances. When people are making fun of your beliefs, running you down, scoffing at the coming of Christ, do you tuck tail and run, or will you realize all who live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. Let us be like the sons of Issachar women and men of courage, bold, those who understand the times we are living in. who know how to give the right word at the right time. A person has joy in an apt answer, and how delightful is a timely word! Proverbs 15:23 And remember Those who know their God will do great exploits!! Daniel 11:32 ✽

Flying the Dream Do you know? I was young when God
put the dream of flying in my heart. As a kid, every time I see a lady pilot, it makes my heart dream of the day where I see myself sitting in the flight deck, looking at the sky and all that’s below, is a beautiful creation. I told myself when I grow up, I wanted to be one of them. But when I got to college and had the opportunity to choose the things I wanted to pursue, our family did not have enough funds for me to chase my dream, so I took up Tourism Management instead. With that, I planned to be a part of the cabin crew, so at least I would have a chance to ride an airplane and travel the world. I was accepted into a public university, with free tuition and great friends. I studied hard to make my Plan B work. After four long and stressful years, I graduated with flying colors. After graduation, I still did not have an idea on how to work on my dreams. So, I chose to stay and help my family and work in their business. Here, I have learned a lot of things; it not only prepared me to be an employer but also tested my character and faith. Every day, I come to work like an employee. Sometimes I remained in the office to work on inventory, marketing materials or graphics design, but most of the time, I was outside, walking under the hot sun, selling our products to different offices and dealing with different people. Sometimes, I would visit government offices to sell our products, and other
times we participated in exhibits and bazaars; every day, I got a chance to deal with different people with differing personalities. I learned to be more patient, understanding, and stronger. Because being an exhibitor or seller requires to be strong physically and emotionally, I would awaken 8 in the morning to prepare and avoid traffic and by 9 am I would be in the mall ready to open our store. I spend 12 hours a day giving out samples and moving our product and be home by 10pm. Throughout all of this, I thought I was ready and equipped. The first time I applied to join the cabin crew of Cebu Pacific, I was rejected, so I returned as an exhibitor and I told myself maybe I needed more training. One day I saw a Flight Attendant School on Facebook and it was near us. So, I told my parents I wanted to enroll and with the blessings and provisions from the Lord, I was accepted. For 28 Days, I was trained and acted like a real flight attendant. We were taught the essentials to become a part of the cabin crew. I learned to swim, how to put out fires, how to save a life using the Heimlich maneuver and how to give a public announcement. They also taught us how to nail every interview and after 28 days we finally graduated. For the second time, I graduated with special awards, I thanked God that day and told myself with full confidence, “this is it!” So, with all that I learned, along with the training, experience and an endorsement letter from the training center, I knew and truly believed I was going to be accepted. PAL Express was the first airline I apply with. I was actually happy and excited while standing in queue for a long time. When I finally got my turn, they asked us three things, first our name, second where did we get the information of the Palex Open Day and lastly,“what word would we use to describe us?” I thought I did well, but I heard the words, “Unfortunately no one got in, but you can apply again after 6 months.”This was my second rejection, it made me sad and I was disappointed with myself. Why wasn’t I accepted? In spite of what happened, I kept on fighting. I applied to Airasia and Cebu Pacific, but again I failed; I always failed the first test, the height requirement. After all the failures and rejections, I faced, I took some rest and decided to return to help our family business. However, just as I was about to give up my dream, He gave me Aurabella. He gave me a business to manage, and I realized when He said I would fly, it meant that I would fly products, sell and excel in this field and industry. I will fly! I praise Him for being faithful to the dream He placed in my heart. We may never understand His will, but I know when He promised, He would make it happen. And I know someday, my dream of flying will still happen. ✽

Psalms 23 A psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[a] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Prophetic Intercession
The Time is
Now
Somewhere in the distance, a bell is ringing out a warning.
Those who can hear the repetitive toll, may find it hard to turn away. For the ominous clanging repeats with prophetic clarity: Where we are heading, is not going to be easier than where we have been. But the Lord has already provided everything we will need! If we were a battleship, our destination would be the frontline of an end time confrontation. Though the war is unseen, it must be fought with courage and faith. To have victory in such a conflict, we need the discernment of the Sons of Issachar. These were an anointed group of people who understood the changing of a time or season. They knew when a move of God was ending and another was beginning. “From Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do - 200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command;” 1 Chron. 12:32. They were unafraid to take risks and often sided with the underdog in leadership; like Deborah the Judge over Israel, who ruled in a time when few women held any place of authority over a nation. The sons of Issachar discerned it was her time to rule and they seized the opportunity to fight and win a great battle for Israel under her command.
❝ Even if we decide to change our methods, that does not mean we should change our message. We need to re-engage, reconnect and reach out.❞ Using our discernment, we can perceive the times we live in from God’s perspective. Then, if we are willing, we can take some risks and capitalize on the great opportunities that lie ahead. Risk taking may be uncomfortable and unsettling, and often demands that we embrace change, but it usually results in growth. Even if we decide to change our methods, that does not mean we should change our message. We need to re-engage, reconnect and reach out. We can be a voice of hope and encouragement in times of fear and hopelessness. Many have experienced loss, or an abrupt change in one or more areas of their lives. If we persevere in generously helping them in the rebuilding process, e.g., through mentoring or parenting, we will eventually enter a new season of fruitfulness and a time of great reaping.
Events that occurred in past seasons, have heralded the beginning of a new season. And in every new start, there is always an opportunity for transition and transformation. It may seem too difficult to shake off weariness, grief and disappointment but how can we soar like eagles if we continue to hide in our place of comfort? Change that suits our desires does not often come quickly. The process that takes us through the transition is often a long walk on an uneven road. Let us embrace change for it is a constant method of advancement and increase. The children of Israel experienced a process of transition for a period of forty years. They endured trials of many kinds and through the process were taught perseverance and faith. But they grumbled and complained through the long periods of testing. And many of us do the same when going through trials. James, the apostle, encourages us to persevere and even be joyful in our trials. “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1:2-4 Though breakthroughs seem sudden. We must not forget they are really a culmination of what has happened to prepare the way for that moment to occur. Before the great cry of victory, there are often long seasons when it seems like our enemy has prevailed and the battle is lost. In those times, there is always a remnant who will not surrender to defeat. They are the watchmen who prevail in prayer for their nation and for their loved ones. These are the prayer warriors who have strong discernment of the times they live in and the pitfalls up ahead. They know endurance and patience are key factors in their breakthrough and are often reminded of Gal. 6:8 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Jesus warned his disciples to be watchful discerners of the times. “He replied,“When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ “and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.” Matt 16:2-3. When should we be fervent discerners of the seasons? Seize the day, for the time is now! ✽

Psalms 91 1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a] 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. 9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, 10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. 11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 15 He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
