1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” - John 14:1-3 (NIV)“And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end.” - Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭14‬ ‭(AMPC)‬PROPHECY IS UNFOLDING IN THREE WAYS:1. Arena of Israel - The Focus Point of Prophecy (Matthew 24, Luke 21, Revelation 2)2. Arena of Global Alignment - Ezekiel 39 being Fulfilled “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him.” - Ezekiel‬ ‭38‬:‭2‬ ‭(NKJV‬‬)•  Gog - China •  Magog - Northern Region •  Tubal - Turkey •  Meshech - Moscow •  Prince of Rosh - Russia **** RUSSIA has always been an INDUSTRIAL nation but with China’s Influence it will become INNOVATIVE 3. Arena of Gospel being Preached - Matthew 28 The Great Commission being Fulfilled GOD WILL SEND THREE THINGS DURING THIS TIME:1. Revival - Your Soul 2. Awakenings - Your Family 3. Outpouring - Your Community ‭25‬ “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. 26 You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame…28 “And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.” - Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭25‬-‭26‬, ‭28‬ (‭NKJV‬‬)“There has to be a Revival of RESOURCES before there is going to be a Revival of SOULS”26 “I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing. 27 Then the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase. They shall be safe in their land; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them.” - Ezekiel‬ ‭34‬:‭26‬-‭27‬ ‭(NKJV)‬‬/Shower of Blessings in the Hebrew Means: To pour down and Rain upon violently, in the English it means the clouds in thick succession in great and large quantities. “And all these blessings (showers of blessings) shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God:” - Deuteronomy‬ ‭28‬:‭2‬ ‭(NKJV)“God is Positioning the World PROPHETICALLY while Positioning the Church SPIRITUALLY, RELATIONALLY,  and FINANCIALLY”‬WHAT DO WE DO AS A CHURCH DURING RIGHT NOW?1. POSITION YOURSELF SPIRITUALLY“Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.” - Revelation‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬ ‭(NKJV‬‬)•  Left your First Love •  Living Lukewarm •  Choose to become a Disciple2. POSITION YOURSELF RELATIONALLY 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. - 1 Peter 4:8-9 (NIV)“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you”3. POSITION YOURSELF FINANCIALLY
