PUBLISHER’S LETTER Bworship Him now and forever more. We praise and give the highest less the Lord! Everything that has breath and life shall praise and

honor to Him for He is The Great I Am. I thank the Father for the time and space that He has allowed us to be in the visible realm and experience the beauty of His creation through our physical existence as we look at it through our heavenly lenses by His Spirit which always interpret what we receive as clear as that of a 2020 vision.

As time passes by, the revelation of His greatness and goodness is being observed even to those that has no eyes and ears to see in the spiritual.

Many are finding that the end of every matter is in that place of where The Creator exists and where life all began. The Kingdom of God is an everlasting and never changing kingdom that may seem to variate as it looks according to our life experiences because we try to fit our present circumstances into the kingdom instead of fitting the kingdom into our lives. The Kingdom is within us and it must occupy all that we are and shall be lived through and by His power that’s working withing us. A yielding life to The Lord is the abundant life that we must understand. The outside realm that is impure and corrupted has been replaced by that of which is in the inside of us and is incorruptible. Things around us may begin to crush and crumble yet when we are standing and seated in the heavenlies in Him shall we see all things in perfect glory. We have been translated into the realm of His son and shall we live from it. We have to stand in this truth of who we are now in His Glory and that should drive us to share of His Kingdom and Him as our King.

I declare for the light of His understanding and wisdom in The Spirit to infiltrate hardened hearts and begin to see the eternal spiritual reality that will influence nations to know that There is One Reigning God and that His Kingdom is here! I declare that His Kingdom abundance will flourish in your souls that is submitted and yielded to His will now and all the days of your life.

Psalm 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.”

The Message

A Crisis Becomes Creative Advance The reporting of a global virus became news in the first part of 2020, and while staying informed, we had to guard against being conformed by opinions that would seek to shape thinking to a hidden agenda. Taking wise precautions could not include being paralyzed in fear manufactured by panic. As God’s Kingdom citizens we’re discerning but not deceived by false narratives produced by ulterior motives behind the scenes. We cannot give place to conspiracy theories, but we set our face like flint in the revelation of the mysteries of God to be manifested through we who are His Ambassadors!

There may be those in religious circles using ceremonial formulas to ward off diseases, and flaky people that ignore issues and act like they don’t exist, but we can’t afford to be as those who react in fear. A crisis is actually an challenge to bring creative change.

We are not religious, flaky, or ignorant, and know the difference between foolishness and wise decisions.. We are also not ignorant to the enemy’s devices. One of his devices is to make people focus on his deceptions, but we resist him by focusing on God & His Word. Much of

❝ One of his devices is to make people

focus on his deceptions, but we resist him by focusing on God & His Word. ❞

take the requested precautions of governmental leaders seriously, but we as Kingdom citizens have been called to go out into all the world and manifest the Kingdom. That includes bringing the healing touch to all needing restoration. We cannot ever allow the world’s condition to change us, because we’re commissioned by God to impact the world!

So, no virus, no plaque, and no opposition will rule or deter our purpose on this Earth of proclaiming the Gospel, the good news of God’s Kingdom.Viruses and conflicts shall PASS, but GOD’S WORD SHALL LAST! In Exodus 12:13, it’s recorded that Israel was required to do something to protect them from the judgement to come on Egypt, and it was to put lambs blood on their doorposts. God said; “When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you..” The Passover was not about keeping God’s people shut in by quarantine, but to prepare them to go into greater days of promise.

Plagues, viruses and a current crisis will NOT forever change the world (or change the true church), but the church (God’s Embassy) & the Gospel of His Kingdom WILL FOREVER CHANGE THE WORLD as nations shake & CHANGE through the GOOD NEWS bringing the end of corrupted systems & restoration of the original Kingdom blueprint! ✽

the narrative being presented during the virus crisis was embellished, inaccurate, or conspiracy theory oriented sending shockwaves of instability to much of the world. Now more than ever God needs His Ambassadors unified and in position for greater advance. This is not the end of the world, but corrupted world systems are shaking.

We either believe God & His Word, or we don’t.

We, who know God, are not reactionaries but take action a based in purpose, vision & God’s Kingdom assignments, not circumstances.

If God instructs or assigns us to go into places that need His power & healing manifested most, that’s where we will boldly go. Of course we

A Prayer for The Season My father in heaven, I would like to ask for your forgiveness upon all nations, for our sins that are a disgrace for you, for the decisions that we made by the flesh and not by the spirit according to your words which is our guide. I pray that during this time of pandemic we can walk with the spirit and guide our emotions, guide our thoughts, our expressions, our body, our ways as encouragement to not lead in depression, suicide, destruction and all that may lead us to dark places. Yet I believe that the light of your glory as it appeared to Apostle Paul, can also come upon your sons and daughters, upon the leaders of the world, presidents, governors, mayors, deputies and all that have a place as a leader for the nations in each country of the world.

Lord I declare your provision upon all sons and daughters, provision of food, jobs, opportunities as your word says in the of Matthew 6: 23-33 and that due this hard time, we can be joyful and seek at first in our lives the kingdom of God. I know that heaven is accessible to those who trusts and believes in your son Jesus and that your kingdom is within us.

God we pray upon those that are in need of healing, that they shall be healed of cancer and all diseases, healing for their body framework, healing to all that are contaminated with the covid-19, corona virus and more so to those that are afflicted in their spirits and souls that they shall be healed by the blood of Jesus Christ..

God, we declare on the same blood mentioned in Exodus, used by the Hebrew people to protect them, from the evil spirit, that the blood of Christ can be seen upon our houses, our lives, upon families throw out the nations, the blood of Christ upon the leaders of the world..

Father I thank you for everything, we thank you Lord for your provision of life, food, place to be, families, and for the healed nations. A special thanks for our Pastors around the world, for those that are going to the churches and preaching the word of the Lord and bringing a word of hope and the Love of God upon His world, His creation, His sons and daughters…In Jesus name, Amen and Amen! ✽

Father, we believe you hear our prayers just as you heard the prayers of your son Daniel and that it is done for the same purpose that will bring glory to your name.

The Exceptional Influence of God’s Kingdom Has an Incomparable Responsibility God has translated us into His kingdom for a purpose that we

might be partakers of His divine nature as matured sons who will do the works of dominion on earth, share in His righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit forever.

Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Great-Master-Teacher taught us about the universal nature of the kingdom of God and its great value.

People will not understand the importance of obedience until they understand the uncompromising nature of God, thereby, if we fail to appreciate the great value of God’s governing rulership we will not be able to possess the riches of our inheritance in God’s Royal Family. On this premise, we need to understand the wealth of God’s Kingdom.

There was an honorable counselor in the Bible, Joseph or Arimathea, a distinguished man, who probably held a high office among the Jews, as one of their great council, or a Jewish senator. He was someone like any other faithful servants of God who have waited for the arrival of the anointed King to build up the kingdom.

According to the Scriptures, Joseph believed “Jesus Christ” to be the Promised Redeemer-Restorer, and he was described as one of the secrets disciples for the fear of the Jews (see: John 19:38). Furthermore, his faith and allegiance were proven when he asked his Lord’s body to Pilate to acknowledge his closeness to Christ.

He was never ashamed or fearful anymore to stand for Christ, before a very intimidating political and religious leaders in that time. Mark 8:38 puts it aptly, “Whosoever is ashamed of Me, and of my words, of him also shall the Son of Man be ashamed when He cometh in the glory of His Father and with the holy angels.”

It was a remarkable decision that he went in “boldly” to Pilate.

Undeniably, God has raised him up as distinguished counselor, a “former” secret disciple that turns out to be like a “secret weapon” 8

Summer ✻ 2020

for a special and most important event in the human history.

It was an indisputable fact that most of Christ’s disciples had fled, and if they had not, they had no influence with Pilate. If it wasn’t because of Joseph who made the necessary effort and made a special petition or claim to Pilate in behalf of Jesus, our Lord’s body would have been buried “that night” in the same grave with the malefactors, for it was the law or regulation among the Jewish that the remains of an executed man should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath Day. It is very fascinating fact that at this critical crisis God called FORWARD this “secret” but STRATEGIC DISCIPLE. Joseph of Arimathea is indeed an authentic friend of our Lord, though UNKNOWN as such to the world. He confidently dared to express SYMPATHY and LOYALTY for His King Jesus, and he went BOLDLY and BEGGED the body of his Master and King.

It needed no small measure of courage to do this.

In the time of shameful persecution and humiliation, his King was mocked and condemned, tortured, spit on, and executed on crucifixion-death for slave and of the most shamefaced criminals.

In like manner, like Joseph, we are to affirm and publicly declare our attachment for Christ as the Lord and King of our lives. This is the solid proof of our sincere affection and loyalty.

What was there in the life of Joseph of Arimathea that he was moved by the Holy Spirit to act on motion worthy of special notice, and has admitted his bold commitment for Christ and of His kingdom?

With timidity natural to a rich man and a ruler, why Joseph became involved in the heat of persecution of the harshest kind?

Never forget that Joseph of Arimathea become prominent on the momentous historic day of Calvary. He belongs to a class who appear for a moment on the center stage of the history. To teach some lesson or to perform some special service, and then “humbly” disappear.

Joseph whose residence could be nearby Jerusalem, a good man

Continued from page 8 The Exceptional Influence of God’s Kingdom Has an Incomparable Responsibility and just who started fearful and as a secret disciple but end up courageous and compromised ambassador of God’s Kingdom in the day of Christ’s greatest humiliation. He declared himself Christ’s disciple and he had the high honor of laying Jesus body in his own new tomb embalmed and perfumed it. He hewn a rock cave and left there a lasting fragrance and a monument of virtue where storms of time can never destroy.

Joseph’s life is inspiring that he never wasted his capabilities and governmental functions in the society he belongs and was conversant and knowledgeable of the sacred scriptures that makes him highly respectable among the Sanhedrin Council.

Even if our faith could be too shallow, weak or even on the state of being under-development but by the grace of God may spring into strength to meet and surmount even the greatest difficulties.

It is not a time to shrink from shame or danger when our Lord and King seems powerless, naked, bleeding and dying upon the Cross.

You like Joseph of Arimathea could be a useful instrument to fulfill God’s Kingdom purpose and agenda even when in the sights of unbelieving and wicked people would seem impossible.

In addition, God has invested in you a spirit of excellence and powerful influence in times and opportunities that will occur to render essential service to the kingdom truth and virtue.

An honorable man in God’s kingdom has a holy character and spiritual power. The humblest lifestyle we practice has enough irresistible heroic influence for good in some measures and certain heavenward recompense.

Moreover, we need not to be nobly born or distinguished for talent and wealth, in order to do brave work for God. Even though at times it yet remains true that those who are held in high esteem among men have an exceptional influence and so are weighted with an incomparable responsibility.

It was plausible that no other of the disciples could have accomplished what Joseph of Arimathea affected. His social standing position matched against that of Pilate, and so received courteous handling, and his request granted.

Proverbs 3: 5-6 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.[a]

In the final analysis, whoever you are a commoner, ruler, rich, statesman and scholar need not to parade nor display your religious good works in the eyes of men, but if it is genuine and intense it can make channels of influence for itself. ✽

In This Hour

The World Health Organization implemented social distancing

as one of the guidelines to battle the spread of corona virus. We all know that the reason is to reduce or eliminate the virus spread through close contact, so the world must stay at a certain distance even from your own family. What is happening with the world in this hour? Things do happen for a reason and this situation somehow awakened many people to think, to reflect about life and to prepare of what is to come. Spiritually, it seems that God uses the enemy’s tactics to create miracles all over the world.

We can see how God moved and transformed lives, people begin to pray harder and harder, people learned to care more, we saw power of LOVE touching others by the help received by them in so many ways. This pandemic brought humanity to look back and learned that only God has power over everything with the working together of His children on earth. God wants to establish the proper alignment of the body of Christ to Himself. He wants mankind to live and learn on how to commune with, to believe and have faith in Him once again. I believe this is the final hour and the grace period is almost over. We need to cry out and call upon the name of Jesus who has a power to heal and deliver us from sin and unbelief. God wanted His children to experience how good God He is. He said in Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the Kingdom of God and

His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you.” God cares so much about us. His love is pure and unconditional, and He died for us as the ransom for many. This is a turning and returning time that we all need to change and go back to His purpose and His will for us. Many people are called but a lot are living with itching ears not listening to the voice of Him speaking to them in spirit and therefore only few are chosen. “For many are called but few are chosen,” Matthew 22:14.

Because of His love, God gives us so many chances and this is the time and the hour to get back to God, His hand is open wide if we repent for our sins and be in right standing with Him. He is not a distance God who cannot hear or see us. God is knocking at the door of our hearts and He is waiting for us to respond to Him. Jeremiah 24:7 ”I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be My people, and I will be there God, for they shall return to Me with all their hearts.”

You deserve a highest praise oh God, all glory belongs to you! Amen. ✽

God Will Not Allow This Crisis to Interfere with His Plans for Your Life For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you

and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you.”

Jeremiah 29:11.

God knows our future, provides our agenda and He goes with us to help us fulfil his mission that is why we will not fail for God never fails. Whatever God has set in pace to be accomplished in us and through us, it will be done, and there is nothing that can stand in His way that can hinder his plans, delay his plans or cancel his plans, God will lead us through this, he is the way and in control and He will fulfil his good purpose.

We must appreciate that God allows crisis and we are not exempt from pain, suffering and hardship, but we can rest assure that the God we serve will triumph, and will not fail us.

God loves us, He cares for us and our situations will get better. God has not changed his mandate for our future. He is the source of all we need; He is our sustainer, provider, protector, we need not worry, we need not be doubtful or should we be afraid.

God sees everything clearly, He saw this crisis was coming and He has already made a way of escape for his plans for our lives will not be thwarted. The challenge is, do you believe that God will allow this crisis to prevent you from accomplishing those plans He has put forth for you?

May you not allow fear to cripple your faith in God.

May you be a living testimony of his grace and mercy.

May you not give up on God.

May you be victorious.

May his will be done in and through you.

May every plan He has manifested in you be accomplish.

May you trust God to guide you through.

No weapon formed against God’s plan for your life will prosper.

Allow your faith to believe that whatever God has birth in you to be accomplished this year will be accomplished. ✽

May you experience his goodness in this crisis like you’ve never experience before.

Resurrecting the Righteous “JESUS SAID TO HER, ‘I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. THE ONE WHO BELIEVES IN ME WILL LIVE, EVEN THOUGH THEY DIE; AND WHOEVER LIVES BY BELIEVING IN ME WILL NEVER DIE.” JOHN 11:25

In this season amid a terrible epidemic, I am made more aware of resurrection power. Not physically, for all the ones I see coming to life have blood pumping through their veins, and they are walking and talking to one another. I am speaking of spiritually, for many of the individuals I see awakening and blinking at the bright light of the glorious gospel of Christ are believers who at one time or another confessed and professed His Name, but somewhere along the line, they lagged behind and fell asleep in complacency. They were satisfied with the status quo and allowed that to lull them to sleep, not realizing that there was a storm coming that would shake the very foundations of their faith. With the shifting would come a revelation: some of the Church was not as rooted in the faith as they thought they were. Fear overcame faith and caused reactions that did not testify of the goodness and the power of the One Who created and empowered us.

As the news anchors spoke of the numbers being impacted and overcome by the Covid-19, those whose souls were not anchored in the Lord God Jehovah were swept away with the numbers and began to take on the persona or the concepts of the ones who never knew Him at all. I am not being judgmental, because even as I was typing this, I was chastening myself, for I know not the situation anyone is in personally or spiritually. But I did judge, for I am fully aware of how a believer should conduct himself in times of trial, and it is not to react in fear. I would see other believers mock the believer that spoke of being covered by the Blood or claiming the promises of Psalm 91--and I was astounded! As brothers and sisters of the same Father, are we not all to be decreeing and declaring the Word over our lives both in good times and in trying times? How can you claim the Word in a peaceful time but neglect it in the time when it will benefit you the most!? When I say that I was challenged much more by my Kingdom family during this crisis more than any other time in my life...I was floored by the negativity and the foolishness that I had to deal with. I wondered were many tares instead of wheat, but I allowed God to handle the situation, for I would not have done it with holiness, for I was truly angered with numerous people regarding their stance toward me and what God had commanded me to do. He spoke to me and commanded that the doors of the ministry be open, even as others were closing the doors and celebrating in their homes. I felt we should all obey what the Sovereign God was instructing us to do, and let others be if He did not instruct you to comment upon it. That is the issue with the Church. We are too busy commenting on what someone else is doing while following His orders, instead of being busy with finding out our own instructions from Him and carrying them out as He stated. I have found that when doing Kingdom work, everything else is dimming and fading away. I don’t have the time to look at you and criticize what you are doing, for my eyes are focused on Him and I can only see you if your path is crossing mine as we are both doing the

work of our Father! I am not here to give grades on what another is performing. Jesus went where He was sent and said what the Father said, and as a co-laborer with God, I shall do the same! Those who are fearful should not be condemned and humiliated, no, that is not to be, but I would encourage them to dive into the Word and allow it to minister and strengthen them. We are to be rooted and grounded in the principles so that when any type of storm comes, we will not waver in our beliefs. We are to be examples to the world, just as in the Bible the characters were our examples of what to do OR what not to do! Many people are judging those here on earth who were in their prior lives murderers or liars or cheaters, while preaching or teaching from the Scripture in which a well-known Bible character has done the very same!! If you are preaching Psalm 23, then how are you condemning a person who once cheated or murdered? You are using the text of an ex-murderer and ex-cheater! That is hypocritical! Every day I look at myself in the mirror and check out my reflection to see what imperfections can be perfected. Every day I look at myself in the Mirror of the Word to see what imperfections must be perfected. I need to mature and continue to grow and become more and more like Christ. This virus caused many of the dead to rise and see that what they were doing was not working, that how they are living is to be elevated, for He wants to take us higher. There is a resurrection occurring in the Body of Christ as we awaken to some things in us that need to be changed or released.

My eyes are open. My ears are listening. My heart is receptive. Speak, Lord! I see spiritual covers pushed back and a stirring in the ones who were slumbering comfortably! Rise up, Church! ✽

Overcoming in Seasons of Certainty We are living in unprecedented times,

and as believers, it is crucial not to lose our God-focus or kingdom-focus or perspective for the future because of any season of change. We serve a God who knows the end of a thing before it begins. He is never taken unawares by the circumstances of life, for example, the COVID 19 crisis. If there is a time the church needs to be encouraged and to be an encouragement and a prophetic voice to the world, it is now!

People will always face times of uncertainty, and it can be a difficult thing to bear. Change or difficulties can be triggered by a single event or a series of events. These events can be natural or spiritual or a combination of both. History chronicles events that have triggered uncertainties that crippled economies, affected families, challenged governments, etc.

However, history also chronicles, people, governments, and nations successfully navigating their seasons of uncertainty victoriously.

Are you going through a season of uncertainty? Do you know of a friend going through a season of change? Do you live in an area, or work in an organization going through a season of uncertainty?

Everyone experiences different seasons of change in their lives. Some challenging, some uplifting. Some fearful, some hopeful. Some with an incredible sense of uncertainty, some with an incredible feeling of hope. As people called out darkness into God’s marvelous light, we can live in dominion when the season seems to be uncertain. When things spiral out of control, and we feel incapacitated because of fear for the future, God promises to save us and quiet us in times of turmoil with His love.

“The LORD your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing” (Zephaniah 3:17).

• He is the Solid Foundation we stand upon during stormy seasons (see Matthew 7:24, 25).

We can also experience supernatural, or practical help through God’s unceasing voice expressed through Scriptures when it seems like we are walking through the valley of the shadow of death. The Bible is full of promises we are to appropriate during seasons of uncertainty to live in dominion. The truth is:

You can live in dominion over fear and the spirit of fear or terror.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV).

You can live in dominion over demonic attacks or oppression.

“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).

You can live in dominion over sin, sickness, and disease.

“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—He who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases” (Psalms 103:2,3).

You can live in dominion over lies, error, and deception.

“To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31, 32).

You can live in dominion over hopelessness, giving up, depression, and burnout.

“Also [Jesus] told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to turn coward (faint, lose heart, and give up)” (Luke 18:1)

You can live in dominion over worry and anxiety.

“Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God’s peace which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7, 8).

You can also pray people and your nation into dominion as an ambassador of Christ.

“If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

During seasons of uncertainty, God is our dependable help. He can be trusted to help us navigate those seasons courageously and successfully. The Psalmist understood His character as the Good Shepherd when he wrote: “Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me;Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over. Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place (Psalms 23: 4-6), It is my prayer that you will experience the supernatural help of God as heaven invades your life and life circumstances as you take ownership of your life by engaging God, His promises, and obediently obey His voice and leading. ✽

Kingdom Messengers Italy

MARAN ATHA! In this difficult time of global trouble, we are facing new challenges that mankind has never before experienced.

In Italy, in less than a month our lives changed completely, for the worse. All of a sudden, we found ourselves to live socially isolated, forced by law to stay closed in our homes. Our economic system has been at a large extent shut down and hundreds of thousands don’t know how to manage without money. Our political system is disoriented and limited in taking effective actions. Our administrative system suffers in applying so many new confused rules issued daily.

Our judicial system has almost stopped functioning and urgent cases are delayed beyond comprehension. Media and social networking feed peoples with “CoronaVirusOnly”, including daily pandemic projections, death bulletins, fake news as well as fake hopes. All social and religious gatherings, no matter the number, are forbidden and closed down by law. Meanwhile, people keep dying and being infected.

It’s not yet over at all. What a time we are living in!

Many say that we are not yet getting closer to the end of the age, as to a certain degree these things have always been happening. Others are saying that this pandemic is just a strong warning, but that afterwards “all will be fine”. Others say that the final process of the very last days has already started.

It seems reasonable to say that:  this global crisis is a special warning. At least for the Saints of the Most High on earth.  we might be living in the time of the ten virgins, when its needed to procure the extra oil, as any average portion might soon not be sufficient to follow Yeshua.  it is the proper time to keep focussing on giving food to our fellow servants in the master’s household, rather than treating them badly and use the community money and personal influence to enjoy the pleasures of the world.  it is undoubtedly the time to keep using our talents to bring fruit for the King.

For now, however, we have only a virus threatening us. But one day it will be the turn of persecution and betrayal. If now some Christians feel lost, abused and angry because someone stopped church meetings against their constitutional rights, what about when for our faith in Yeshua some of us will be killed or imprisoned, or our women raped, or our homes and business destroyed? Would we be ready and still 16

willing to keep praying “May your Kingdom come?” Surely, we know that for the King to come back, birth pangs have to occur! And that produces purification in His body.

As fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of His household, it would be wise to ask ourselves at least, “What lessons can we learn?” and, “Would we be ready for the very last days?”, rather than to stir up our indignation for political “incorrectness” or to lose time reasoning around conspiracy theories. And here I offer some personal answers and reflections.

As for the first question:  we could be learning that we are mortal and non-omnipotent.

That it is all about God and not us. Thank God!  We may rediscover the most basic values of the family, care and love for one another. How much have we been living socially isolated in our homes, to the point of not having intimacy with our family members? How little have we been praying for the lost ones of our families and cried out to God to save them? How often have we not been bold enough to proclaim the truth in our families?

How often have we not been courageous to pray for a sick person in our homes? How often have we not cared for the elderly of our families, nor honouring them according to God’s commandments?  We should return to a simple and authentic “church” life.

In less than 1 month, all big church halls, large stages, powerful lights, cameras, big music bands, powerful amplification systems, dancing shows and flags, as well as queues of people wating to be touched by a “powerful” minister have gone as something belonging to the far past. Big ministries, named after men or women are already faded away because of their own uselessness. Let us return to our houses as the basic gathering place of believers! Let us return to spread the Gospel from person to person! Let us take our responsibility to be God’s Royal Priesthood!  We have the opportunity to rediscover the values of friendship, rather than emphasizing titles; to be a living corporate body, rather than to keep creating dead corporate structures; to enjoy being generous, rather than to increase budgets.  The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to the humble and only the meek will inherit the earth.

As for the second question:  the birth pangs already started when Yeshua ascended to heaven, was enthroned, outpoured the Holy Spirit over his congregation and started conquering hearts through His Saints.  It is objective to say that the signs of the end are now more frequent, intense and global. Just as birth pangs do when birth gets closer. 

Trusting God in Difficult Times

Imagine if an angel of the Lord would appear to you saying: •

The final birth process has started.

• The events written in the scroll are not in a chronological order and you cannot know when each one of them is going to happen. It is not predictable by men, unless the Word is vain, as Yeshua himself said that only the Father knows when the Messiah shall return.

• Sense the urgency to take off and act. I trained you for such a time as this, in which everything would accelerate and be empowered. I will give you my words and my power and you will bring many to the other side, while the events will precipitate when the world least expects it.

• Warn people to be vigilant and prepared to lose everything for the name of Yeshua and preach the Good news of the Kingdom in the whole world. Be my trumpet for the ears which have never heard before. Warn that the time will be short, intense and concentrated.

• It will not be possible any more to say, “I will know the Lord, I will prepare and learn”.

• The scroll has been opened 2.000 years ago and throughout the millennia many of the events written in it have already been happening to certain degrees. There will be a peak, which will present itself in such a way that only the few that will be ready will be able to say, ‘It is being born!’”.

What would you think or do? Would you still say, “Here I am Lord”?

ARE WE READY? The time is short. Shorter than 2.000 years ago. For we know that this world in its present form is soon passing away. Therefore, look up for the King is surely coming soon!

We belong to an all-powerful God, one who can do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could imagine. God can do all that He desires to do in any given situation; past, present or future, and He does not have ask our permission. Nothing can prevent His plans. God says He has plans for us, to prosper us, to do us no harm, to give us a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11). Our Father is unchangeable in His character and His covenant promises. For His promises are yes and amen. We can completely trust Him; we can have confidence that He is with us at all times in the totality of His being. Because He is unchangeable, he is completely dependable. This ought to be a source of incredible joy for us, because the God who promised us eternal life is immutable that we may rest assured that nothing, not trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword shall separate us from the love of Christ. It is because God is the same yesterday, today, and forever that neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, not even powers, height, depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom. 8:35-39)!

Because He is all wise, He Is Full of Perfect, Unchanging Wisdom. “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!”

(Romans 11:33). Studying the attributes of God has been a great comfort. It has given me strength to know even during this pandemic there is hope in His everlasting arms. I hope each of us have taken the time to get to really know Him, to know that we are engraved on the palm of His hand, we are the apple of His eye and he will never leave us or forsake us. ✽

Excerpt from the Book on Kingdom Economy:

Managing Earth in Heaven.

Genesis 2:8 “Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.”

Managing Earth in Heaven is as managing the Garden in Eden

God operated in a system of economy during creation which is seen by creating and producing, out of the invisible existence, with His Word all that is in the universe. He dispersed and allocated His creation in its proper assigned places or sphere and environment like that of the moon, stars, sun in the sky, fish of the sea and animals that creep, plants and man in land where they will increase and multiply. This shows us how God is a manager and administrator of His sphere, kingdom, territory, nation and people which is the definition of economy as household management. The Creator is the owner of everything and everyone for He is The Source that sustains all existence and life. All things are meant to be attached and connected to Him. The source is also the sustainer of the products He produced and its environment.

He applied Himself under the principle of economy by dispensing His nature and presence into the seen realm. God made a replica of heaven, that has no boundaries into a space, time and matter that can be felt, captured and measured. He made a matter of Himself in time and space when He created man in whom He entrusted earth for His kingdom to extend in the visible realm. God placed His existence into the visible realm by establishing a beginning and matter from that which is infinite and uncontainable.

Psalm 24:1-2 The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.

Some Principles of Kingdom Economy

1. LORDSHIP. In the Bible dictionary and concordance, LORD – Ownere Heb. ‘adon, means one possessed of absolute control.

It denotes a master, as of slaves ( Genesis 24:14 Genesis 24:27 ), or a ruler of his subjects ( 45:8 ), or a husband, as lord of his wife ( 18:12 ) singular lord, master (1) reference to men: (a) superintendent of household, or of affairs.

The term lordship or lord is a term used in a kingdom government system referring to ownership and rulership. Our Creator is the owner meaning Lord of everything that He made and produced. It is vital to understand lordship and ownership in relation to management and stewardship as sons of the kingdom. Life in a kingdom is not about private ownership but worshipping and honoring The Provider of all the needs of its citizens. It is to His Glory that his territory and citizenry to live in abundance.

2. COMMONWEALTH. Another term used in distribution of wealth to the citizens of a country or kingdom is known as commonwealth. In Wikipedia A commonwealth is a traditional English term for a political community founded for the common good. Historically it has sometimes been synonymous with “republic”. The noun “commonwealth”, meaning “public welfare general good or advantage”, dates from the 15th century.

Originally a phrase (the common-wealth or the common wealth – echoed in the modern synonym “public wealth”) it comes from the old meaning of “wealth” as “weal” which is “well-being” “sound, healthy or prosperous state.” In a Kingdom, the state and condition of its citizens demonstrates the king’s extent of wealth and glory by its distribution and consumption of resources to sustain a lifestyle unique to its domain and culture. The wealth of the king is common to all its citizens and possess all that is in his kingdom.

His intent is for the wellbeing of his citizens. The land, property and other resources is also known as the crownland meaning it is not owned by people, but it is owned by the king. The citizens are given right to use and access of the king’s properties as stewards and managers of it.

As citizens of heaven and earth under His reign, all that we have and own in the legality of the government we are in the natural truly all belongs to God. He owns us and all things. Our strength and might is of him and that is why He is all the Almighty one as He is the source of all might. What He owns reflects upon how the citizens live and provided for. The Kingdom concept of economy and wealth is opposite to that of a democratic rulership.

The culture in which most of us were exposed to drives people to work harder to get what they need for themselves or if they are not able to work they will do what it takes to get what they need even to the point of stealing, cheating and hoarding things for themselves. Survival mindset, which began after the fall of Adam, has taken over the fallen generation because they are looking at and pursuing after the wrong source of resources.The system that is opposite of the kingdom creates a culture of private ownership, selfishness, hoarding and or stealing to survive. But in a kingdom system those ways, mentality and behavior do not exist. We can prevent and fight the evil of poverty, scarcity and lack mentality by applying the kingdom concept of economy. We can begin with this in our family and by extending it to one neighbor at a time, then to another neighbor, then in the church, then to the whole town where believers and kingdom citizens of heaven demonstrate a movement as one way to advance His kingdom. If kingdom citizens or the church cannot demonstrate commonwealth then how can we show to the world that we truly are sons of God operating under the

Continued from page 18 Excerpt from the Book on Kingdom Economy: Managing Earth in Heaven. system of Heaven?

There is no lack in heaven, and so shall it also be on earth now since Jesus is all of God’s resource to mankind in spirit, soul and body.

Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters 3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. ESV John 1:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly (over and above what is necessary all around). ESV Exodus 16:35 The people of Israel ate the manna forty years, till they came to a habitable land. They ate the manna till they came to the border of the land of Canaan. ESV Nehemiah 9:20 You gave Your good Spirit to instruct them. You did not withhold Your manna from their mouths, and You gave them water for their thirst. ESV Job 36:28 Which the skies pour down and drop on mankind abundantly. ESV 3. ACCESS In Merriam Webster the definition of Access means freedom, permission, to be able to use, enter, or get near to something. The things that we have in this world are truly not our own, but we are given entitlement to have the freedom to consume and benefit from it. We are given abilities to improve and multiply the available raw materials that are full of potential and convert them into various forms of utilization for a prosperous life. There is a cycle of dependency of man from God who has all knowledge and wisdom to reveal of what is hidden in all things He created. As sons of God, we have access in Christ to receive of all that he made according to its principles and laws. We can directly go to Him and use our God given authority to manifest what is in heaven here on earth.

The truth is, He has blessed us already with all spiritual blessings that we can manifest in the natural by faith in Him. Ephesians 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

Stewardship in the New Testament

As a review in Strong’s Concordance 3622 oikonomía (from 3621 /oikonoméō, “a steward, managing a household”) – properly, a stewardship, management (administration), i.e. where a person looks after another’s affairs (resources).

The Old Testament is full of God’s demonstration of heaven’s economy and so is the New Testament which is more relevant to us now as we are transitioning into the kingdom age. Let us look at economy in another perspective as not only referring to the affairs of wealth. God has demonstrated economy that is in the spiritual in which its natural alignment and expression must match because everything is under one Sovereign and Absolute rulership of The Creator. There are principles and instructions that is sons should implement for heaven to release abundance and its store of resources. The Greek definition of economy is stewardship, administration, household management.There are many instances in the new testament that correlates with economy and some of it are written below.

KJV Luke 16:1 And he said also unto his disciples, there was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. 2 And he called him, and said unto him, how is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. 3 Then the steward said within himself, what shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. 4I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

KJV I Corinthians 9: 17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation (stewardship) of the

gospel is committed unto me KJV Ephesians 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10That in the dispensation (stewardship) of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: KJV Ephesians 3;1For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2If ye have heard of the dispensation (stewardship) of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6 That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: KJV Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ KJV Colossians 1: 25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation (stewardship)of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 26Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: ESV 1 Timothy1:4 Nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith. ✽
