The entrance of the King:Triumphal entry Jesus is lord of the house and Israel’s messiah. Mark 11 is the revelation of his purpose – Jesus taking His seat of authority Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the coming kingdomof our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!”Key - Mark 11:11 - Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve. (Less than 2 miles)John 11:18Two condemnations against Israel:11:12-17 The Fig tree and the Temple – cursed and cleansed1. Fig Tree - “The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.”Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.Taquash – early figsMicah 7:1-2 – “What misery is mine! I am like one who gathers summer fruit at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster of grapes to eat, none of the early figs that I crave.”Jerm 8:13 - ‘I will take away their harvest, declares the Lord. There will be no grapes on the vine. There will be no figs on the tree, and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them.’Figs: Fruit for food, Leaves provided medicines, Sap was used to make cheese.1. In Greco-Roman culture the fig tree was associated with deities,primarily the tree god Dionysus2. Jesus had power in cursing or blessing3. Fig tree represents Israel2. The Temple of the Lord“Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’ ThievesIsaiah 56:7 - these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”Jesus is judge and expects fruit. "Like tree, like temple, like nation; the parallel is exact"3. The Disciples of Christ, 11:22-25Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”Faith, prayer, righteousness (forgiveness)In Christ we become the fruitful vine in season and out – fruitful bud We become the house of prayer – the body of ChristWe are blessed not cursed.

The Last Days – Overcoming Fear1. Significant events release spiritual dynamicsExamples: 911 – World Trade Center21 Coptic Christians beheaded in Libya, released Sunday Feb, 14A Message Signed With Blood to the Nation of the Cross,”"All praises due to Allah, the strong and mighty. And may blessings and peace be upon the ones sent by the sword as a mercy to all the worlds," says the lead killer, emphasizing their plan to kill all the Christians they can. He speaks of how IS has been seen "chopping off the heads of those that have been carrying the cross delusion for a long time" in Syria and then prophecies that war will continue with his group until Jesus comes down from the heavens "breaking the cross and killing the swine."Sura 47: "When you encounter the unbelievers on the battlefield, strike off their heads until you have crushed them completely; then bind the prisoners tightly."Sura 8:12 "I will cast dread into the hearts of the unbelievers. Strike off their heads, then, and strike off all of their fingertips."“It is one thing to fly the ISIS flag because a lot of guys are doing it,” said William McCants, a researcher at the Brookings Institution who studies Islamist militants. “It is another thing to capture a bunch of Egyptian Copts and kill them and see it as some of part of a grand, final-days battle.”Revelation 20:4 – “And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God.”2. Why 21?Significance of the number"The number 21 is the number of destruction or rather of universal termination. ..”- Claude of Saint-Martin“A divine number or sacred, expressing the notion of chief, representing the unknown superiors or the great spiritual Masters of the humanity.3. Americas Response to Terrorism."Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history. Lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ." - President Obama, National Prayer breakfastObama’s choice of “crusades” reference – the name Islamic terrorists use against ChristiansKey Point: Christianity does not condone what people do in the name of Christ. The Bible condemns all evil. The Koran supports violence.4.

Overcome – a spirit of fearLuke 21:25-26 "There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, 26 -men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.2 Tim. 1:7 – “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

Since Church was cancelled on the 15th we posted a teaching from a couple of years ago. I hope you will enjoy the message of true repentance. God's plan is that true repentance will change our minds before we even enter into temptation.

The Battle PlanMatthew 28:16-20 New International Version (NIV)16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them togo. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”1 Samuel 14:1-14 Jonathan & His Armor Bearer1 One day Jonathan son of Saul said to his young armor-bearer, “Come, let’s go over to the Philistine outpost on the other side.” But he did not tell his father.2 Saul was staying on the outskirts of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree in Migron. With him were about six hundred men, 3 among whom was Ahijah, who was wearing an ephod. He was a son of Ichabod’s brother Ahitub son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD’s priest in Shiloh. No one was aware that Jonathan had left.4 On each side of the pass that Jonathan intended to cross to reach the Philistine outpost was a cliff; one was called Bozez and the other Seneh. 5 One cliff stood to the north toward Mikmash, the other to the south toward Geba.6 Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, “Come, let’s go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.”7 “Do all that you have in mind,” his armor-bearer said. “Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul.”8 Jonathan said, “Come on, then; we will cross over toward them and let them see us.9 If they say to us, ‘Wait there until we come to you,’ we will stay where we are and not go up to them. 10 But if they say, ‘Come up to us,’ we will climb up, because that will be our sign that the LORD has given them into our hands.”11 So both of them showed themselves to the Philistine outpost. “Look!” said the Philistines. “The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes they were hiding in.” 12 The men of the outpost shouted to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, “Come up to us and we’ll teach you a lesson.”So Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, “Climb up after me; the LORD has given them into the hand of Israel.”13 Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer right behind him. The Philistines fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer followed and killed behind him. 14 In that first attack Jonathan and his armor-bearer killed some twenty men in an area of about half an acreHow can we once again take the land? – given a modern day strategyYear 2000 Lord down loaded to two leaders Bill Bright Campus Crusades, Loren Cunningham YWAMSeven Mountain Mandate (7 molders or influencers of culture)1- Religion (Impetus or Driving Force) 2- Family (Values)3- Education (Equipping)4- Government(Empowering)5- Business (Finance)6- Arts & Entertainment (Prophetic) 7- Media (Watchman)1Samuel 14:15-23 Israel Routs the Philistines15 Then panic struck the whole army—those in the camp and field, and those in the outposts and raiding parties—and the ground shook. It was a panic sent by God.[a]16 Saul’s lookouts at Gibeah in Benjamin saw the army melting away in all directions.17 Then Saul said to the men who were with him, “Muster the forces and see who has left us.” When they did, it was Jonathan and his armor-bearer who were not there.18 Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of God.” (At that time it was with the Israelites.)[b] 19 While Saul was talking to the priest, the tumult in the Philistine camp increased more and more. So Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”20 Then Saul and all his men assembled and went to the battle. They found the Philistines in total confusion, striking each other with their swords. 21 Those Hebrews who had previously been with the Philistines and had gone up with them to their camp went over to the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan. 22 When all the Israelites who had hidden in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines were on the run, they joined the battle in hot pursuit. 23 So on that day the LORD saved Israel, and the battle moved on beyond Beth Aven.End ResultDeserters - Hebrews who crossed over to Phillistines – came back (Prodigals) Fugitives – The Hidden Ones joined the battle in hot pursuit

A review of our 2015 Prophetic Bulletin

The New Testament model for giving is based on 100% surrender of all that we own. The rich young ruler found that God requires we give up all things for the kingdom. So what about the tithe? What should I give in the offering each Sunday.Listen and see it's an issue of the heart.

The first most basic level of the prophetic ministry is edification, exhortation and comfort. We must begin to operate in this Spirit ministr of Christ. Paul wishes that above all we would prophecy.
