Baptism of Holy Spirit & Fire - Pentecost

John the baptist said, "I baptize you unto repentance, but there comes one after me who shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire".  That was Jesus Christ.  It is the promise He gave His disciples when He told them to go and wait in the upper room until they were "endued" with power and the Holy Spirit came "upon" them. This would manifest with "tongues" or in this case languages of all the different dialects of Jews that had come to Jerusalem for the feast of Pentecost.  They all heard the gospel "in their own language".  It was a day that birthed the church with power to witness, first in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and then the uttermost parts of the world.  Do we need this baptism today?  The answer is simply... do you need power?  Yes, this baptism is for today and releases a fire in your life to declare God's word and demonstrate the "gifts of the Holy Spirit".  There are two actions of the Holy Spirit in the life of the New Testament believer.  First the "indwelling" Holy Spirit that comes at your salvation when you are baptized into the body of Christ. Ephesians calls this the seal of the Holy Spirit. Second is the "upon" Holy Spirit that empowers you when you receive the "baptism of fire". Jesus never needed to received the indwelling Holy Spirit because He was born (conceived) of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary. But, as a man, Jesus needed the "upon" Holy Spirit to minister with power and received it at His physical baptism with John at the river Jordan. The Holy Spirit came upon Him and remained upon Him His entire ministry. If you want to minister with the same power that Christ had, you absolutely need that same baptism Jesus had. God's word says, "if the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwell in you."  Jesus said, "the works that I do you shall do also and greater works than these shall you do because I go to my Father".  (John 14:12) These greater works started at Pentecost.  They were not greater in substance but greater in scope.  The early church took the gospel to the known world following Pentecost.  Interesting to note that at Pentecost the day first was filled with power. Then the room was filled with power and finally the people were all filled with power and tongues of fire rested on each of them. The last thing that was filled was the people!  Get in an atmosphere of the fire and power of God to receive.  Find a group of people that agree that this "baptism of fire" is for today and receive it by faith,  just like you received your salvation.  Believe and receive has always been God's way.  Simply say, "Father, I know your power is for me today and through the promise of your Son, Jesus Christ, I receive this baptism of fire NOW".  Let you mouth become the tool of God to speak and sing praises to God. Let your tongue be released to speak to the glory of God.  To learn more, please listen to my teaching below on "Baptism of Fire".

Pentecost - Feast of First Fruits



Coming June 8th is Pentecost
Sunday!  Israel saw this as a significant feast 50 days after the Feast of Atonement.  Jesus saw it as significant following His death and resurrection.  He said, "Go and wait in the upper room until the power of the Holy Spirit comes upon you".  It was at the feast of Pentecost 50 days later that the Holy Spirit birthed the church.  At the tower of babel man's languages were divided and man was scattered because of language barriers. Now at Pentecost man is united and they all "were of one accord in one place\ in the upper room and the place was shaken."  Tongues of fire fell on them and they became "one language" of the Holy Spirit as people from every visiting tribe and nation heard the gospel message in their own language or tongue. The curse of babel was broken at Pentecost!  What is so significant about the day of Pentecost?

1. God brought forth the first fruits of His church with 3,000 souls receiving Christ on Pentecost! Through the alignment of the apostles standing together and Peter preaching the glorious resurrection the church was born. "Peter stood up with the 11..."  From Jerusalem the gospel then went out to the known world!  Now the body of Christ has become "One New Man" world-wide.  There is now "one Lord, one baptism, one God and father of us all"!  Jew and Gentile forever united in Christ.  




2. Pentecost was the feast of Israel which brought the first fruits to God that guaranteed the 2nd harvest. The Feast of Ingathering which is the second harvest is months later in the fall and was the tithe of the 2nd harvest given to the tribe of Levi.  But the first fruit offering of Pentecost was given the the Priests of the lineage of AaronThis is significant to the church today, because churches and businesses that will practice the first fruit offering will see a significant increase of wealth.  What does that represent today? The office of the Aaronic priesthood is tied to the work of the apostle,.  Jesus in Hebrews 3:1 is called "The high priest and apostle of our faith".  Why did God bless Israel with such wealth?  Because they guaranteed their harvest with the first fruit offering. This is one of the most significant things modern kingdom businesses can do... find an apostolic ministry and make a significant first fruit offering to that ministry. You can determine your future blessing through that offering. Modern apostolic ministries are those that are primarily completing the end-time harvest of unreached people groups. Apostolic ministries are not self appointed people who think they have the office of apostle so they can have influence over others, but true modern apostles are those DOING apostolic ministry of laying foundations in nations, of reaching those who have never heard the gospel.  They are the ones like the Apostle Paul who are "Called to be an apostle by Jesus Christ".  If you are not significantly related to this kind of apostolic ministry, please go and find one and began to offer sacrificial first fruit offerings.  I challenge you to test God and see if He does not open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that you cannot contain!


                                         Please listen to this Pentecostal first fruit teaching
                                                                                  
                       I have seen businesses give to our world vision and experience
                   unusual financial breakthrough and blessing... Take the challenge!

Is Divine Healing for Today?

Divine supernatural healing is for today!  I am going to make a bold statement.  When the word of God becomes more real than your sickness, you have your healing.  Healing is faith released in the indisputable unchanging word of God.  Jesus said over and over again, "Your faith has made you whole.. go in peace".  He said it to the woman with the issue of blood, he said it to the lame man, the blind man... to all who simply believed He had the power of heal. Has Jesus changed through some weakened new dispensation of the church? No, the word says, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever."  Jesus hasn't changed, we have! A questioning pastor challenged me and said, "Jerry, God has used sickness in my life so many times for me to grow closer and more like Him".  My answer was simply, "Pastor, you do see that your faith is in your sickness, not in Jesus healing power".  Unfortunately this man will get all the sickness he can handle and maybe more because his faith is the wrong direction.  Does God love him and want to heal him?  Of course, but wrong belief get's wrong results. The real question is, what does the word say? "By his stripes I am healed"!  The blood of Jesus covered my sickness.  Jesus bore every disease on the cross, so why should I? One of the gifts of the Spirit in I Corinthians 12 is the gift of healing.  Find someone who will agree with you and believe with you for your healing.  Get in an atmosphere of faith, not doubt. Jesus cleared out the room of all the family before he raised the girl from the dead.  Why?  He didn't want the atmosphere of unbelief interfering with His resurrection power.  Sometimes you must separate from those who speak nothing but death and disease over you.  Why does much of the church believe that Jesus blood can take away all our past sin, yet is not powerful enough to take away all my sickness? I would think that taking away all my sin and all it's punishment is pretty outstanding. It is but a small thing for Christ to remove my immediate disease.  How do I receive my healing? Began reading the word of God and all scriptures associated with healing.  "Faith comes by hearing the word of God."  Read them, pray over them, then receive them for yourself.  Declare them with your mouth...even though you may not see immediate results.  Don't quit and don't walk by sight! Listen to worship music as well.  Worship prepares our hearts to receive His word.  Worship builds our faith in who He is not who we are and our present sickness.  Get your mind and heart off of your condition and place it on God's provision.  The cells of your body must respond to the power of God's word... they have no choice!  "The word of God is quick and powerful..".  The word quick means "lifegiving".  Take communion over your sickness.  I have seen God use communion many times for healing in my family.  Please take 3 minutes to listen to this video on my own healing story.

Is God In Control of everything? Absolutely NOT!

Probably one of the most misquoted statement I hear from Christians is, "Well, God is in control of everything so it will just work out".  I heard the statement again this morning on the radio returning from Publix to my home. It genuinely irritates me!  May I be so bold as to really challenge that statement!  Was God in control of Hitler killing over 6 million Jews? Was God in control of Herod killing all babies in Bethlehem under 3 years old? Of course God is not in control of everything, so let's just stop putting the responsibility on God for the crazy acts of disobedience and sin we commit!  God is only in control over what we put Him in control of.  He is in control over everything that is His will, but we must submit our bodies as a living sacrifice so we will know His good, and acceptable and PERFECT will.  He is in control over all that is bought by the blood of Jesus Christ and is found in Christ's righteousness.  Let me state clearly that GOD'S ULTIMATE WILL AND SOVEREIGNTY WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED IN SPITE OF MAN'S DISOBEDIENCE.... HE IS SOVEREIGN!  God gave man a choice.  We can take control or put Him in control, it's that simple. My definition of pride is .. every act that is done independent of God.  That is why the apostle Paul admonished us to "do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to His glory".  If you act independent of God you are on your own and your acts will bear the exact consequences of your sin. Why do I teach "KINGDOM" theology so strongly?  Because it is the best theology of putting Jesus Christ as king over everything I have, everything I am and everything I purpose to do. I declare every day, "Jesus you are Lord and You have a right to rule over me.  You purchased me by your blood so I am not my own, You gave me Your Holy Spirit to discern good and evil."  Jesus has the right of ownership over me by right of original creation. He owns the original patent rights over my life through my ancient earthly father Adam.  Then whatever was stolen, He bought back by His blood through the second Adam Jesus Christ.  He rules by right of creation and redemption!  Now something wonderful happens. When I submit to Him and PUT HIM IN CHARGE of my life He turns around and gives me dominion and authority on earth to execute His judgments.  He manifests His kingdom through my life and guides me to rule my earthly kingdom under His authority.  He has truly made me a "king and priest" on earth to Himself. God is sovereign, omnipotent and omniscient. But certainly not in control of everything on earth. May I close by also stating that His ultimate will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven.  We can hasten that if we allow Him His rightful Lordship over our bodies, marriages, businesses and churches. In the final analysis He will bring this age to a close and His ultimate purpose for us the bride of His Son Jesus Christ shall be accomplished.  Please note... HE WILL LET MAN'S SIN AND DISOBEDIENCE ULTIMATELY DESTROY THIS PRESENT WORLD.  Then His glorious kingdom shall rise in a people who have learned to walk under His authority and we shall "reign on earth with Him"! Amen!

                                           THE KINGDOM NOW MANIFEST IN ME!

KINGOM LIFE UNIVERSITY - Now online and Live!

God spoke to me in 2005 through a prophetic word given to me by two outstanding Tampa Bay Christian leaders.  Dr. Frank Brocado and Joe Brown gave me a word that they said God had given them for me.  That God was now taking me and Action Evangelism into a new level and that I was crossing over to greater revelation of what God had called me to do.  Little did they know I had just finished my 40th year of ministry.. significant in that Israel crossed over the Jordan river after 40 years in the wilderness.  I asked Jesus, "what do I do with this word?"  He told me clearly to do what He did!  Get 12 businessmen and meet together and pray and seek His face.  Jesus called them the 12 apostles.  So I gathered 12 businessmen and for one year we met each Thursday morning for several hours, prayed for the world harvest, and prophetically sought God's direction.  Out of that was born our World Mission Training Centers to equip nationals world-wide through sound biblical teaching to evangelize and then build churches in remote villages.  We now have 58 national directors in 19 nations with hundreds of satellite KLU campuses.  World Mission Training Centers developed quickly into a full fledged Christian University. God brought Joe and Carole Pigeon to help me develop Kingdom Life University for the USA.  It has now blossomed into a full ONLINE CHRISTIAN KINGDOM UNIVERISTY! Our mission is to bring people to a new level of grace and revelation of Jesus Christ! Colossians 3:2 says, "In Christ are hidden all treasures of wisdom and knowledge"!  As original creator of all things, Jesus Christ can unlock the secrets of life and the universe to us His bride.  If we are seated with Him in heavenly places and we "Have the mind of Christ", nothing is impossible.  The greatest discoveries have not yet be found. Jesus is going to unlock those to us who find the treasure of His kingdom and give all that we have to buy that treasure! It truly is the hidden treasure in the field and the pearl of great price. We will be continuing the greatest adventure in the universe by becoming more and more intimate with Christ.  Our vision with KLU is to take the body of Christ to a new level.  Please watch this short video and receive the testimony of some of our students.  God is doing something special with Kingdom Life University now in the USA.  Satellite campuses are opening up across the nation with churches that want to link up and experience the gospel that Jesus talked about in Matthew 24:14 "When this gospel of the kingdom is preached in all the world, unto all nations (ethnos - dialects) then shall the end come."  Our KLU satellite USA campuses are totally turnkey and fully ready to open in your church. Please watch this new KLU 2 1/2 minute video.

How to Change the Spiritual Atmosphere Over Cities

I recently traveled to the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) convention in Las Vegas. I had not been to Las Vegas for over 25 years.  Truly many changes had come to the city.  As you know, it is called "sin city" by America and what happens in Las Vegas, supposedly stays in Las Vegas...we know the reason behind that thinking.  When my associate, Abdiel Ortiz, the director of our Kingdom Life University "School of media and communications" and I got off the airplane we both felt the same thing, a tremendous overwhelming sense of sadness. We had just come under the atmosphere of one of the reigning principalities of that area.  I learned from almost 50 years of ministry in cities like San Francisco, Seattle, and Tampa how to discern demonic principalities and their influence over a city.  Daniel fought such powers when He prayed and his prayers were hindered.  When the archangel Michael came and announced to Daniel that the reason for the delay was the Prince of Persia had delayed Daniel's prayers for 21 days. Then Michael said, Daniel, "I must now leave you for I need to go and fight the Prince of Greece". There is war in the heavenlies over districts, territories and cities. We were facing the emotion of tremendous sadness that the prince over Las Vegas has brought to the city. A city of beauty, golden promise and riches to only bring false pleasure and disappointment.  So Abdiel and I went to check in to the hotel... Circus Circus. Fortunately we were placed in one of the upper floors that overlooked the city.  I opened my laptop, checked into the hotel internet and opened up our WATV worship channel and we began to worship over the city!  After about 30 minutes we got a breakthrough and we began to pray in the Spirit.  We were feeling more and more joy and liberty in our hearts, minds, emotions and our spirits.  Then we felt a surge like breaking through a physical sound barrier. Joy and peace filled the room and a great feeling of authority over the atmosphere of the city. We began to declare over Las Vegas God's divine purpose for the city and a breaking of bondage over people's hearts and lives.  It was glorious (that means weighty) and for the next 5 days we would wake up each morning and worship and pray for about an hour.  I have never felt such a change of atmosphere!  We witnessed to no less than 30 - 40 people and everyone seemed totally open to receive God's message of love and life.  Jesus said, "Have I not given you power to tread on serpents and over ALL the power of the enemy"!  Luke 10:19  IF WE ARE UNDER JESUS AUTHORITY, WE HAVE HIS SAME AUTHORITY UPON US.  And He said,, "All power is given to me in heaven and earth..."  Matthew 28:18     That covers Las Vagas.

                              JESUS DEMONSTRATES HOW AUTHORITY WORKS

Peace in Israel

Well, another round of talks.. another failed peace agreement in God's land of promise, Israel.  I am going to make a bold statement.  I don't believe there will be any lasting peace in Israel until two things happen. First the coming of the anit-christ.  He gains international acclaim and authority by finally bringing a peace covenant with the nation of Israel.  He will appear as the world's solution to international turmoil and war. As a false christ, he will try and duplicate the authority and power of Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace!  So he will be given power to make peace for a short time.  This is the first horse of the apocalypse of Revelation 6. He rides a white horse and has a bow in his hand, but no arrow.  He conquers the world peacefully.  But it's all deception. Hitler assured England and Chamberlain that he was not going to make war and Chamberlain came back from Germany holding the peace agreement in his hand.  He appeared as a hero to
England.  Well, we all know what happened next!  The same with the anti-christ.  The world will buy his peace dialogue the same way.  But as always, he lies!  Then world war will break out and famine, death and pestilence follows.. the other three horsemen of the apocalypse. Not only will he break the peace agreement, but persecution will follow upon the nation Israel and the bride of Christ.  Israel is told to flee to the mountains! Then the real Prince of Peace arrives!  

Secondly, Jesus Christ, our Messiah, appears and raptures the saints toward the end of tribulation.  There will be approximately 45 days at the end of the great tribulation, as we travel around the earth with Christ and every eye shall see Jesus Christ from every tribe and tongue and nation.  During these last 45 days will be the final 7 bowls on the earth.  Jesus said, "Unless these days be shortened, there would be no flesh left on earth."  The final 7 bowl judgments are the final payment of man's deeds, only Revelation says the payment will be double!  All the waters of the world turn to blood in both the oceans and rivers.  All green plant life dies.  All the cities of the earth will collapse with a world-wide earthquake. Cosmic effects of the sun and stars. This is the final cleansing of planet earth of all evil. Then Jesus Christ and all His saints will return with Him to participate in the last stage of the great tribulation,  the final battle of Armageddon. Now the earth will be transitioned over to Jesus Christ's rule from Jerusalem.  He will exercise His ruler ship through the Old and New Testament saints.  We will reign on earth as "Kings and priests" unto our God.  Now the lion will lay with the lamb. Earth's curse will be lifted, Satan will be bound, and we will participate in 1000 years to restore the earth to it's original beauty.  Little wonder this is called the "Blessed Hope" of the believer!

Spirit + Word = Creative Life

God's word is dynamite!  The bible says, "The word of God is quick and powerful (dunamis) and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart".  On the other side of the coin the bible says, "The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked, who can know it?"   What a contrast.  We have been led to believe that man is basically good and has a good heart.  Even though the unregenerate heart can produce some inspirational moments, and even do some great deeds, our underlying motive is self centered and self promoting.  Paul makes some direct and powerful statements that leave no room for argument.  One is, "In my flesh dwells no good thing".  These simple direct statements seem to go against popular thought.... that man is basically good in himself.  The overall problem is our nature has come from the first Adam.  We have all been produced after the seed of the first Adam. Bottom line is, WE HAVE ALL BEEN BORN WITH A SIN NATURE.  This is uncomfortable for our mind to receive.  But it is true.  That is why God gave us something outside of ourselves that gives us His wisdom, His will, His understanding.  Jesus made this bold statement, "Thy word is truth".  Now we come to the standard by which we can measure ourselves.  God's unfailing truth given by revelation through His WORD!  We cannot go by what "I feel, I think, I understand" in myself.  What happens if we decide to trust His word?  We are set free!  Again Jesus said, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free".  I am absolutely convinced that you must read the word, embrace the word to your heart and receive the word of God by faith.  When you do, you began to experience God's thoughts, God's love, God's will and God's presence.  Paul simply said, "we have the mind of Christ". That comes by understanding the Father's word that becomes revealed by the Holy Spirit in our minds.  I invite you to get a greater revelation by listening to the teaching of the Father's heart through His word daily on our KBBN network.  I teach through the entire New Testament verse by verse and chapter by chapter.  Now we have this through our "app"  Just download your android app at Google play store.  Search "kbbnetwork" and put it on the face of your phone.  I will have the windows app and i-phone app in a couple of weeks. So be watching out for these two new apps!

                                           Power of the Word with the Spirit = LIFE

Four Blood Moons - Are They Signs?

Tonight at approximately 2:45 am in the early morning hours EST, the first of four blood moons will appear over the skies of America.  The real significance of these 4 blood moons is that they fall on Jewish feasts in both 2014 & 2015.  They fall exactly on the Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles in both years. This series of 4 is called a Tetrad.  This did not happen in the 1700's or the 1800's, but only in the 1900's. We have had blood moons over the centuries, but never exactly on Jewish feasts until 1948 & 1967. First was in 1948 right when Israel was declared a nation, and then again in 1967 at the time of the 6 day war where Israel defeated her enemies both fast and furiously.  If you have been following my study in the book of Revelation, you know that the number 4 is specifically for this year.  I also have a prophetic word video on how the Lord revealed that to me beginning in December of last year and into the New Year of 2014 that the number 4 was significant.  4 has to do with God's dealing with the earth and His prophetic purpose here. When I received that word from the Lord I was not even aware of the 4 blood moons. The 4 Seraphim around the altar have 4 faces and release the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse.  The 4 angels at the corners of the earth hold back the wind for a short season for judgment to fall.  The 4 angels at the river Euphrates are released to gather all the armies of the earth together for Armageddon. The number 4 is very significant with the book of Revelation. Why does the moon turn red? When the moon is fully blocked in this lunar eclipse it picks up the hue that surrounds our planet and reflects it off the moon. Literally what appears around our earth simultaneously is the total of every sunrise and sunset all at once. What are we to look for?  No one really knows.. but we do know that it will be a significant season for the nation of Israel in the next two years.

Do This In Remembrance of Me!

I have just finished watching my annual viewing of  "The Passion" movie by Mel Gibson.  This outstanding movie production always deeply moves me.  I know there are many different movies showing the crucifixion, but Mel Gibson's always ministers to me the most.  I suggest you take the time to view the entire movie.  I never tire reminding myself of the great sacrifice Christ paid for all of our sins.  Paul said that the "cross of Jesus Christ" was the central message.  Probably the most moving scene for me is when Jesus falls under the cross and Mary, His mother, comes to try and comfort Him.  The scene goes back to His childhood when he fell and Mary picked Him up in her arms and helped Him.  But here in this scene she can only listen to His words, "Mother, I make all things new".  When you understand the Father's plan for the ages and how Christ's blood has the redeeming power to not only save us, but to renew all heaven and earth as a "new creation".  No wonder the two themes of heaven's worship is the blood of the Lamb and His creative power in Revelation 4 & 5.  We will be forever celebrating the power of His blood in our new heaven and earth!  Let's celebrate His awesome offering for sin this week in our Passover and Easter season!

Noah - A New Beginning

Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man". Jesus definitely tied in His second coming to Noah's time. How?  First, men were simply living and existing daily and not acknowledging Jehovah God as rightful King of their lives. They were "eating, drinking, marrying and making merry".  This was not deep gross sinfulness but simple ignorance of Jehovah God's right to rule over their lives.  Second, was evil that did violate man's divine purpose on earth. "Every thought and intend of their hearts was only evil continually" according to Gen. 6. Man had filled the earth with violence, sexual immorality and breaking the foundational laws of mankind that came with original creation. Third was gross immorality through intercourse of women with angels called "sons of God" in Genesis 6:2. Herein lies the reason God wanted to cleanse the earth of this evil.  Giants, called "Nephilim" were born out of these immoral unions. The natural DNA of man's flesh was being changed into something God never intended. We are going down the same road today.  Toying with God's holy imprint on man's original intent and creation. Ignoring Jesus right to rule over our lives and just living for our own selfish purpose.  The earth will again be cleansed.  This time by fire.  But God has preserved a people for His own name.. the bride for His Son Jesus Christ called the "Church of Jesus Christ".  Jesus said that this cleansing would "Make all things new". This will happen during the great tribulation as man's sins will "pay double" according to the book of Revelation. How can we escape such a judgment?  By allowing Jesus Christ to cleanse your life through His covenant shed blood on the cross.  Noah story is not just an account of cleansing the earth of all evil, but starting again with God's covenant blessing with a "new heaven and earth" wherein dwells His righteousness alone!

Firstfruit Offering - Key to Abundance

We are in the season of some of Israel's feasts.  Coming shortly is the Passover season. The Passover pictures the sacrifical lamb slain and the blood placed over the doorposts. It is this feast that pictures the final sacrifice for sins.. Jesus Christ. It also pictures Christ's resurrection as the first of a new kind of resurrected body from the dead. 50 days later follows the Feast of Pentecost or the feast of Firstfruits.  Firstfruit pictures the offering Israel gave to guarantee the final harvest or 2nd harvest.  It was the first of the blessing of that years harvest as a meal offering, burnt offering, drink offerings and was gleaned and given to the priests. The tithe of the 2nd harvest given in a later feast was given to the Levites.  Why is this important? Jesus Christ is called the "High Priest and apostle of our confession" in Hebrews. The apostolic ministry today aligns with the high priestly ministry of the Old Testament. The key for businesses to come into abundance is to align with credible apostolic present ministries that are reaching the world.  A divine protection comes over businesses that align and bring the firstfruit offering. I can already attest to this working in a big way in one business that responded when I challenged them to make a firstfruit offering and they ended up receiving God's enormous blessing.  Find a credible apostolic ministry that you can begin to partner with. Plant firstfruit offerings in that ministry and watch what God can do. The early church laid their money at the apostles feet and every need was met in the entire church including the widows and orphans! It says that no one lacked anything they needed. That says something about God's provision and the way the biblical pattern works. I encourage you to do what Proverbs 3:9 says , "Honor the Lord with the firstfruits of all your wealth".  God will open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing and your vats will overflow with new wine!

Book of Revelation - Time Line

Having finished the 22 chapter study of the book of Revelation, I will teach one more study on the prophetic time-line of Revelation chapters 1 through 22.  This study will give you the best picture of how the church age and tribulation look from beginning to end.  This is Jesus final "Action Plan" for the end of this age.  This is truly the completion of all things that we now see on planet earth.  Daniel was told to "seal" the book until the time of the end.  John was told to "reveal" the book and unseal it that all may understand at the end of this age.  Then John says, "Blessed is he who reads this book and understands the prophecy and keeps the things written in it."  Why are we so blessed to understand this final revelation of Jesus Christ?  Because it allows us to "make ourselves ready" as the bride for the coming bridegroom.  Jesus will prepare His people called the "bride of Christ" both Jew and Gentile, and we will be tuned in to the Holy Spirit's voice so in Revelation 22 it is both the "Spirit and the bride" saying come Lord Jesus.  I have well called the book of Revelation Jesus "Love Letter to the Church".  Revelation 1 starts out with the declaration, "Him who loved us and gave Himself for us..."  Revelation 2 & 3 explains everything that keeps us from intimacy with Christ's love and the seven churches are to return to "their first love".  Chapter 4 & 5 talks about the throne room which is the source of God's love.  Revelation 6 - 19  talks about the extent Jesus is willing to go through to cleanse this earth of all evil and prepare a place to reign with us and live with His bride.  Babylon, the great harlot is destroyed completely in this section of Revelation.  It is Jesus "Cleansing power of love".  And final Revelation 20 - 22 talks about His eternal purpose of love and the final abiding place of God's throne with man as heaven joins earth and the "New Jerusalem" His city bride unites with the people "Bride" His church for our permanent abode.  God now tabernacles with man for eternity!   Don't miss this final study, you will be blessed to have greater revelation of the end-times.  You can find all the studies on the book of Revelation at our Kingdom Life University online web site.

Revelation 22 - The Last Word

Revelation 22 concludes with the "Spirit and bride" saying the same thing!  Finally the church has become tuned in to the Spirit's voice!  7 times in Revelation 2 & 3 John cries, "He that hath ears to hear let him hear what the Spirit is saying"!  That was at the beginning of the church age and tribulation. The tribulation period will be the greatest time of the bride of Christ "preparing herself" for the bridegroom.  As the world system called "Babylon" collapses, all that distracts us from Christ will be destroyed.  The need to hear the Spirit's voice in this time period will be absolutely essential. Finally the bride has "made herself ready".  Revelation concludes with the beauty of the new heaven and earth joining together as the city "bride" descends to join the people "bride" and they are united forever into one place.  Planet earth will be physically linked with the descended "new Jerusalem" city sent from God.  A river of "Pure water" will flow from the throne of God and fill the earth.  Today about 2.5 of all water on earth is pure!  But then 100% of the earth will be filled with absolutely pure water.  There will be no more sea to separate us from one another.  This river from the throne will support the "tree of life" which will bear fruit each of the 12 months. The leaves will also bring constant healing over and over again to all creation.  The sun and moon will have dissolved at the end of the millennium so the new light will be God's presence.  Can you imagine what kind of earth this will be?  No pollution, no curse, no evil.. only God's peace and love and presence.  We shall reign with Him forever and ever.  Have you ever wondered why there is so great a universe with billions of galaxies?  We will have access to the heavens as our playgrounds for eternity.  Just as Jesus ascended up from their sight in Acts 1:19 "Ye men of Galilee, why standing you gazing into heaven, this same Jesus who is taken up from you will so come in like manner."  Jesus went up physically in a body and so shall we be like Him forever.  Jesus ate with His resurrected body with the disciples and then disappeared out of their sight. This new body will have unusual abilities!  We will be housed in a body just like His resurrected body.  If you are a true born again believer in Christ, you have a lot to look forward to.  But if you do not know Jesus, your name has been now blotted out of the "Book of Life" and you will forever be with Satan and his demons in the final lake of fire.  No wonder John again cries, "Let him that is athirst come and drink of the water of life (Jesus Christ) freely."    You can receive Christ NOW by just inviting Him into your heart and life and asking Him to wash your sins away.  It is that simple.

Revelation 21 - All Things New

Revelation 21 gives us a beautiful picture of the final creation of heaven and earth!  All of the present creation  experiences entropy. Entropy is defined as "The gradual decline into disorder" and is what the Babylonian system ultimately experiences.  God's last creation will never find disorder or decline.  "Of the increase of His kingdom there is no end". (Isa 9:6-7) God's final creation will continually increase in beauty and form. The "New Jerusalem" is a visual picture of God's final creation.  It descends from above, not ascends from the earth.  It will not be touched by human hands so it has no imperfection.  This city comes from God as His gift to us His bride.  So it comes complete and ready to occupy.  It is His tabernacle from heaven that literally touches earth and this divine connection between heaven and earth is the final answer to Jesus prayer, "Thy kingdom come... on earth as it is in heaven". (Luke 6)  Heaven and earth joined together physically for eternity and God will dwell with man.  This is the second time God tabernacles with us.  First in His own Son Jesus who was the "Fullness of Him" manifest on earth.  Man did not and could not in this time and space dispensation see the fullness of Christ, but rather rejected and crucified Him.  But this second visitation of God's tabernacle with man will be fully received by Christ's redeemed bride of Jews and Gentiles.  In fact, at the end of Revelation the "Spirit and bride say come".  Both the people "Bride of Christ" and the "City Bride of Christ" are linked together. We will welcome this end-time visitation of God's throne to earth and will walk in His presence for eternity.  The kings of the earth will continually bring their glory to this city and throne room.  This confirms the truth that planet earth will be both present and occupied for eternity. God has always intended to have an earth and heaven together demonstrating His forever increasing glory. We will occupy the New Jerusalem as our final home. But will have access to planet earth for growth and development.  Perhaps earth will be closer linked to the New Heavens as well.  Undoubtedly inter planetary travel and networking will be a part.  Dallas Theological Seminary actually did a study on the size of this New Jerusalem and assuming that their will be approximately 20 billion confirmed born again believers at the end, we each will have approximately a 75 acre lot on which to live in our mansion and grounds surrounding it. You can multiply that in families of let's say 4 people living in the same mansion... 300 acres of space!  We have little idea what great things God has for us.  Let's prepare our hearts for the coming Millennium and then the final rewards and blessing coming in the New Heaven and New Earth living in our New Jerusalem city.  To learn more about the entire book of Revelation go to our Kingdom Life University  website for all the 22 videos.  Here is the teaching on this exciting coming city - The New Jerusalem


                                                  This City comes "From God" to us

WATV Movie Channel

We are excited to announce the opening of our new WATV movie channel!  This will feature some of the best of high definition movies featuring biblical themes.  Our first major feature is the book of John portrayed in beautiful high definition.  This is best viewed by opening up your screen to full picture and wearing headsets while viewing.  I have just watched this major movie and it is very accurate to the biblical text. I was repeatedly stirred to tears to see the powerful portrayal of the life of Jesus Christ on full screen as recorded in the book of John. We will be adding the best of HD movies as we develop our WATV movie channel.  Our Kingdom Life University is also in the process of opening our fourth school of academia.... the School of Media & Production. We have just purchased three 4-k cameras and a full suite of editing tools.  4-k is the standard for large screen as shown in all current movie theaters.  This format has recently become available to Universities and consumers outside of Hollywood. This is literally 10 times the quality of High Definition and will allow us to make movies in the future as well as produce our KLU courses in the highest quality now available. Our production department will also be available to assist ministries and churches in setting up their own production studio to our same standards.  We have been approved by Hewlett Packard to help promote some of their latest hardware tools available for studio building and production.  4-K requires at least 32 to 64 Gigs of ram for rendering videos.  We feel that we should, as best possible, carry a spirit of excellence for the glory of Jesus Christ and His kingdom when it comes to video production and the arts and science of movie making.  You can enjoy the list of chosen movies now available.  Remember you can drop down the "Playlist" in the upper left and corner for the list of movies.

Millennium - The Coming Golden Age (Revelation 20)

Man has forever dreamed of a golden age on earth.  It is coming!  After the tribulation which literally destroys the infrastructure of earth's cities and nations, Jesus Christ returns with His bride of both Jews and Gentiles to establish this "Golden Age" of His reign and glory.  Satan has been now cast into his 1,000 year prison, the curse is lifted off this earth and those that survived the tribulation and did not take the mark of the beast 666, restore planet earth to its greatness along with the reigning bride of Christ. With no war, sickness, suffering and extended growing seasons because of the presence of Jesus on earth, mankind will have an opportunity to bring this planet to its original intent of the garden of Eden.  Jesus Christ shall reign from Jerusalem with a rod of iron.  But His reign is pure love!  Justice will be executed immediately and rebellion will not be allowed. Peace shall reign and mankind will worship together the true King of kings and Lord of lords. The lion will lay with the lamb!  Nature will be quiet and orderly.  Many will live again to long life and perhaps natural men will live to be 900 years old as in the days of Noah before the flood. The glory of God on earth will increase during this 1000 years and this golden age will be the fruit of the righteousness of Christ as the garment of all who have received Jesus as savior. The beauty of God's golden city Jerusalem shall shine as the sun as Jesus literally reigns from His throne there.  Men will be able to travel to Jerusalem and experience His literal presence on earth again.  Unfortunately children born of natural mothers and fathers during this age have not been tested for their faith.  So Satan will be loosed for a short season to see where their heart lies.  The unbelieving children will form an army to take over Jerusalem and follow Satan and rise against the Lamb of God. They shall quickly be cut down.  Then the final "great white throne judgement" happens where all who have died from the beginning earth's time shall stand before Jesus Christ and the books will be opened.  First the book of life.  If their names are not written there, they stand in eternal judgment of the lake of fire forever.  Then the books of their deeds will be opened and every man will be judged out of the books which have recorded every evil deed done their entire lifetime.  No man will be able to point a finger at Jesus and blame Him for their coming eternal judgment.  Each man will realize it was his or her own sins that condemn them.  The greatest sin of all has been their rejection of the finished work of Christ and not receiving, by faith, His completed justification through His blood.  They will then be cast into the lake of fire prepared for Satan and his demons and forever dwell there in separation from the love and grace of God.  If you have not received Jesus Christ as savior, I implore you to do so today.  Just pray, "Father I know you love me and have a plan for my life.  You sent your Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty of my sins and wash them away by His blood.  I receive Him now as my Lord and Savior. Come into my life now Jesus and wash me clean.  I make you the Lord of my life".  Amen!  
  
                                    Watch the study of Revelation 20 that describes it all!

WORSHIP TV 24/7

It has long been my dream to have a full-time online internet TV network with a 24/7 worship channel.  Now we have have it at our WATV WORSHIP TV channel in high definition.  We feature worship from some of the top churches like Bethel, Gateway, Hillsong and others.  Just turn on the channel and listen 24/7 to his great line-up of the best of the best.   Such good quality, you can play it on your regular television set through your computer or mobile device.  The power of praise and worship in your home will transform the atmosphere!   I have seen marriages and families changed and even behavior changes come through the presence of the Lord in high praise.  Why is worship so powerful?  First, it releases heaven on earth. Heaven is a place of consummate worship and praise.  In the book of Revelation you constantly see the 24 elders and the four living creatures fall down and worship the Lamb.  Then heaven is joined by the 144,000 witnesses of the tribulation who have just experience the greatest time of harvest ever seen in the world.  They too celebrate the shed blood of the Lamb and His creative power on earth.  If that is not enough, the bride of Christ joins heavens praise for their great worship of the Lamb slain for them from the foundation of the world.  Finally the converted nation Israel joins the bride of Christ and together the Lamb is praised!    Second it tunes earth to heaven. So many times I have seen prophetic words come out of times of high praise.  It just flows and the gifts of prophecy are released on earth because we have tuned in to heaven.  Paul said, "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord."  (Ephesians) Thus you move in the Spirit of God and receive from the throne of God.  How powerful is it to tune in the heaven from earth?  Life changing.. that's how powerful.  Third, it is warfare.  We are in a battle and it can only be won by the grace of God.  Creating an atmosphere where warring angels dwell, where the Holy Spirit is present, where the word of God is being sung in spiritual songs... WOW!  What more can i say?  Tune in to our wonderful worship TV channel and see for yourself.

Justice Satisfied - Penalty Paid



Oh the justice and peace of His blood applied
To sins debt through the cross we’re justified

Oh the mercy and grace of His blood applied
From daily sin we are sanctified

His full wrath against sin He exercised
On the cross payment made, realized

It is finished, it is done there He cried
The Father's just demand satisfied

Now we sing of his grace and His love
Now give praise to the Lamb up above

Who in time has redeemed us His bride
To walk with Him by His side

Dressed in white we’re made pure by His blood
His righteousness covers us with His love

All nations come just as one to His throne
To get rewards for the works we have done

Curse is gone, earth restored, love is shown
Grace and peace for his bride is now known

We reign as kings and as priests at his side
In His righteousness alone we abide

Time has come everyone lift up the Son
Risen saints and those alive cry He has won!
   
             Poetry by Jerry Brandt





The Bride is coming.. the King is coming

After the antichrist turns the 10 nation confederacy against the second beast, the false prophet and the false religious system, Satan's kingdom begins to fall.  Satan is full of nothing but lies, murder, destruction and violence. A kingdom divided cannot stand. Not only does he attack his own, but he attacks as many true believers as he can and many lose their lives through beheading.  Beheading is mentioned repeatedly in the book of Revelation! Even now many die for their faith.  It is estimated that over 106,000 Christians were martyred just last year alone.
Revelation 6:9-10 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
Faithful Christian beheaded by radical Muslims
 But this marks the end of Satan's wicked rule on earth.  He finally gathers all nations to the battle of Armageddon and they are destroyed by the coming of Christ with His bride!  This is the final battle and ends the life of all whose names are not written in the Lambs book of life. Revelation 19 gives this summary and pictures the fulfillment of Satan's doom.  Satan and the false prophet are both cast into hell! Heaven celebrates the Bridegroom/King.  Jesus Christ alone is worthy of praise and glory and honor for His judgments have "BEEN JUST" and perfect.  He has allowed sin itself to bring the final verdict.  "Every man will be judged according to HIS OWN works".  The blood of all the martyrs who died for their faith is avenged. But now we come to the great chapters of Jesus Christ coming to establish His kingdom on earth and in the heavens.  This 4:15sec. video is a dramatic portrayal of Revelation 19 as a great transitional chapter in our studies.  You can also watch the Revelation study LIVE ONLINE (please bookmark) this Wednesday morning at 10:00 am sharp!  (EST).  Sign in and ask any questions "Live" during the teaching that you might have.  Kingdom Life University is a place of higher learning with a Kingdom World View!
