In the last days, we’ll see a level of deception not seen since the world began. Satan will bring out all his weapons of mass deception because he knows his time is short and he’ll try and bring as many people into hell with him. And part of getting ready for the future is to have a revelation of what’s coming. What will we face in the future? How do we prepare ourselves for the end-times? Can we be immunised from taking the mark of the beast?

Just when it seems like we’re getting out of the pandemic, the world is plunged again into another crisis with the conflict in Ukraine. When world events dominate the news and everyone has an opinion about what’s happening, how should we respond as Christians? Should we take sides? How should we pray? Who are we to listen to? The Bible surely will shine some light for us on this.

Christmas is often preached in December in the midst of the holidays, and because of this, I think we need to hear a message on Christmas away from the holiday we’ve become so familiar with. Instead of the fancy light-ups, gifts, good food, and a fuzzy warm feeling around friends and family, we need to see the atrocities, the pain, the ominous warnings, and the agenda that God conceived when He gave His Son, Jesus Christ. We’ve missed so much of God’s message to us because we’ve lost the true essence of the birth of Christ.

King David’s life was not all glorious and triumphant. In fact, there were moments where it was downright embarrassing. Times when he had to feign insanity, sport a dishevelled look, and became no better than a homeless vagabond. Yet, it was from this experience that Psalm 34 was penned – a psalm of victory and insight that offers us comfort, assurance, and a view of the long-term.

We read from Scriptures – first the natural, then the spiritual. What we’re now seeing unfold is the potential of a European War breaking forth with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Jesus foretold of this time – that we will see wars fought and hear rumours of wars. This will lead to a spiralling of the world’s economies, open hostilities in many nations, the loss of many lives, soaring oil prices, out-of-control inflation, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The downstream effects of war will be immense and it’ll bring great hardship to the nations. The Church must arise in this hour because we march to the sound of a different drumbeat. God is raising His Gibborim, His Mighty Army. Can you hear the horns of Deborah sounding?

There’s a new and fresh outpouring in the horizon, and a beautiful fellowship that we can enjoy with the Holy Spirit. How can we build a deeper friendship with Him and not just have temporal encounters? More than how He manifests Himself, WHO is the Holy Spirit to you?

I’m fascinated by the power of God. The discovery of the splitting of the atom, the tiniest of particles, led to the release of immense power and this is just a little foretaste of the power of God. Jesus said the tiniest amount of faith can move the greatest mountain without even breaking a single drop of sweat. In every generation, God permits a select remnant to not only see but to also taste what’s reserved for those in the age to come. But in these last days, many are going to enter into the power of God and we’ll see the powers of hell in total disarray. This is our time!
