V2.023: End GameThe Fear—Faith EraThe year of divine discomfort.If you fear God, you won’t fear the end.If we stand in the face of worldly fear without the fear of God, we are in the mosttreacherous of places.If you have faith in God, you won’t have the desire to have faith in man-madesolutions.The World has adopted a fear that has caused them to place their faith inthemselves.Dread of the end or what’s next will have you placing your faith in all the wrongplaces with all the wrong results.2 Timothy 3:1-5 NIVBut mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be loversof themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to theirparents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without selfcontrol, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers ofpleasure rather than lovers of God – having a form of godliness but denying itspower. Have nothing to do with such people.Matthew 24:37-39But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Foras in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying andgiving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not knowuntil the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Sonof Man be.We fear God and have faith in Jesus.The world fears not being god and has faith only in themselves.Being like God is a satanic lie that has infected society. It has distorted theauthority we have and the authority we are under.When society trusts in the lies of Satan, it backs itself into a demonic corner ofdarkness, desperation, and hopelessness.1 Timothy 4:1 NIV1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith andfollow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.It’s time to shift! The church, we have an end-game strategy that needs to beactivated.The capital C church has to find its capital C commitment to Jesus.The End Game Jesus We Are Committed To:
JESUS IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA. (Revelation 1-3)
JESUS IS RETURNING SOON.
JESUS IS THE LAMB OF GOD. (Revelation 4-5)
JESUS IS WORTHY TO OPEN THE SCROLL.
JESUS IS THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE (Revelation 6-18)
JESUS RIGHTEOUSLY JUDGES THE EARTH.
JESUS IS THE KING OF KINGS (Revelation 19-20)
JESUS RETURNS WITH HIS CHURCH.
JESUS IS THE BRIDEGROOM. (Revelation 21-22
JESUS TAKES HIS BRIDE TO THE HEAVENLY CITY.Hebrews 3:1-4 NLTAnd so, dear brothers and sisters who belong to God and are partners withthose called to heaven, consider Jesus whom we declare to be God’smessenger and High Priest. For he was faithful to God, who appointed him, justas Moses served faithfully when he was entrusted with God’s entire house. ButJesus deserves far more glory than Moses, just as a person who builds a housedeserves more praise than the house itself. For every house has a builder, butthe one who built everything is God.We have structured the church according to our own design and not the designof Christ.Ephesians 6:12 ESVFor we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against theauthorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against thespiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.We have a greater battle than what we can see or feel. We need to dig deeper,wise up, and become way more alert than we have been.When the world was poised at a similar shift, Jesus had just been put to death.Peter describes what would be required of Christians, and when he preaches,here is their response…Acts 2:37-39 NIV37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter andthe other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38 Peter replied, “Repent andbe baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness ofyour sins.
