Seeking the Face of God – Keys to Spiritual Awakening – Session
HUMBLE OURSELVES, SEEK GOD AND PRAY In 2 Chronicle 7:14 is more about a pathway to embrace better realities for our land, society, families. It’s a path to God. God begins to do miracles in our society. The things that the LORD loves is humility. The humbling of ourselves. We need to possess the meekness of Christ. However humble we think we are, God wants to be more humble than we planned, that’s work of grace. The only way we change is by grace, the grace of God. God only gives grace to the humble, not the proud. God is looking to raise up sons and daughters. He wants are land restored and renewed. He wants to heal us, families, land and cities. The Holy Spirit only wants two things and that is to see Jesus glorified and Christians doing the will of the Father. Jesus refers the Father they are the same. Be a person who lives in the realm of prayer. You are a sons and daughters of the Most High. When we seek the face of God, in the crucible of dying to self, its not us living, but the Christ that lives in us. That life that comes before God, we become yoke fellows of God. I have come to do that will of the God. Spirit filled people to see God glorified and Christ Jesus. We don’t care who gets credit on earth only to see God glorified.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)
14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
The rich man was concerned about his five brothers coming to this place of torment. He wanted Abraham to send Lazarus, who was is Abraham’s bosom being comforted, back to testify to his family. Abraham said, “They have Moses and the prophets to hear.” The rich man said, “But if one went unto them from the dead, they would repent.” But Abraham said, “They would not be persuaded even if one came back from the dead.”
It also states that hell was separated by a great gulf fixed, or gorge in the earth. Abraham’s bosom was on one side and on the other side was the torment side. Other verses which indicate it was located down deep in the earth are in Isaiah 14:9, Ezekiel 26:20, Ezekiel 31:16, Ezekiel 32:21, Amos 9:2, Numbers 16:32, Psalm 55:15, Psalm 63:9, and some others.
Jesus used the word Hades in referencing this place. There is more revealed in this story, but my point here is to prove it wasn’t a parable. And if it was, we also know that a parable is to parallel a true event, or gives an analogy to get across a truth. If there is no hell, as some believe, then Jesus would have missed it totally and not have conveyed that message at all. Jesus told a true story in Luke 16 and it should convince you of a literal burning hell.
In addition, Jesus talked about hell in 45 other verses. Many of the authors of the Bible also warned about hell, such as Paul, Peter, James, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Jude, Moses, Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, Jonah, Job, Amos, David, Solomon, and Malachi. That covers an abundance of scripture proving hell exists.
Luke 16 is absolutely clear that a person who doesn’t repent will end up in a place of fire and torment forever. Here are just a few verses that state hell is eternal: Matthew 18:8; Matthew 23:33; Matthew 25:41; 25:46, Mark 9:44; John 5:29; 2 Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 14:10,11 and Revelation 20:15.
Receiving Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and repentance of our sin is the only way to avoid hell and enter heaven. Jesus said in Matthew 12:37 that our own words will determine where we spend eternity.
Matthew 18:8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire.
THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUE IF MAN WOULD HUMBLE THEMSELVES
Great interviews. First interview has back ground noise but is short. 49 scriptures in the Holy Bible of hell descriptions. Jesus talked more about hell than heaven. Jesus does not want anyone to go to hell. He made it for Satan and his angels. It is sad that people do not listen to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I personally smelled the sulfur three times, like Bill Wiese is talking about.
What Happens When I Die -Bill Wiese at Shekinah Worship Center
Bill Wiese went to hell for 23 minutes. He has written a couple of books. His latest is entitled ” What Happens When I Die”. He goes over the book in this video. His book makes sense to the unsaved person. Jesus said He is truth. Bill wrote a chapter on the truth of Jesus. Even scientist have said there has to be a God that made all of this. Near death experiences are in this book.
Francis Frangipane – Disciples of the Cross
YOU NEED MORE OF GOD What you need is more of God. You can not love your life. Whoever loses his life for His sake will make it to heaven. Our old nature needs God to change you. He has to remove the cultural identity in us. We need to end to the old life, become a new creation. The old corrupted soul (self) needs to be sanctified through your new life in Jesus Christ.
WHEN YOU ARE BORN AGAIN IN THE SPIRIT When you are born again, you die–self dies and Jesus lives. Our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life and are Spirits are sealed for time of redemption. When you die to your old way of life you are no longer controlled by sin. Your yoke of sin is broken when you confess your sins and make Jesus Lord and Savior.
PICK UP YOUR CROSS DO WARFARE PRAYERS If you want to have “a life from heaven” you have to follow Jesus. You have to deny yourself and pick up your cross and follow Jesus who dwells inside you as the Holy Spirit. Self pity keeps all your wounds alive. One cross you have to pick up is to pray (warfare prayers). Do warfare prayers morning and night. God said to Francis when he was in a church by himself in this video”Why was there no man who answered when I called? I looked for a man to stand in the gap.” God wants you to stand in the gap. God wants you to pray for your city. The gap is the distance between things are and the way things could be if God could only move in your city. In your weakness of getting up early in the morning your anointing will come.
THE CROSS HAS THE POWER OF GOD What you are when nobody is looking? That is where the power comes. What are you in that time of a wound? Do you bleed worship, will you bleed love? This is the price you will pay for carrying your cross. The power of God The act of obedience is to deny yourself that little bit so that financial blessing will come. The cross may look like failure but the cross is the way to the power of God. The cross is the power of God. You carry your cross and you have attached to it the supernatural power of God. God has more power way beyond what you could orchestrate or manipulate.
PASTOR HAD PASTORS IN CITY PRAY TOGETHER
Pastors need to pray together at least once a month for their cities. Francis Frangipane will not go to cities until the Pastors there pray together. In the Old Testament there was an invisible cross with Abraham, Joseph, Jacob. The cross will make you hate what you are, you will hate your sin when God is done with you and sanctifies you. Pick up your cross and be armed with it, the cross.
LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE FOR CHRIST As Christ has suffered in the flesh, so do you arm yourself with the same purpose. If you arm yourself with the mystery of Christ to reveal His love in the mist of your sufferings and to reveal His forgiveness in the mists of your offenses. If you want to be like Jesus you have to drink the His cup. Drink the cup of being poured out for God’s purposes. You lay down your life for this injustice of your city, your church, family.
JESUS PAID THE PRICE FOR US
It is our legal right to be healed and to be made whole.
Great podcast with Daniel Duval and KC. KC mentions that Jesus Christ paid the price to heal us and makes us whole. We need to use our power and authority to get the promises God made for us. KC gives great confirmation through her dreams how Jesus is fighting for us along with His angels. There are programs in Alice in Wonderland as well as she reads this book. Programming template-Baby boomer generation has been programmed–they will dream as a piece of their soul has been trafficked. Psalm 88 Our souls being trafficked to the pit as we are alive. What the devil has locked up behind the gates of hell your parts of your life and we are to plunder what has been stolen through the help of Jesus Christ victory!
A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah. For the director of music. According to mahalath leannoth.[b] A maskil[c] of Heman the Ezrahite.
1 Lord, you are the God who saves me; day and night I cry out to you. 2 May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.
3 I am overwhelmed with troubles and my life draws near to death. 4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like one without strength. 5 I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care.
6 You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths. 7 Your wrath lies heavily on me; you have overwhelmed me with all your waves.[d] 8 You have taken from me my closest friends and have made me repulsive to them. I am confined and cannot escape; 9 my eyes are dim with grief.
I call to you, Lord, every day; I spread out my hands to you. 10 Do you show your wonders to the dead? Do their spirits rise up and praise you? 11 Is your love declared in the grave, your faithfulness in Destruction[e]? 12 Are your wonders known in the place of darkness, or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion?
13 But I cry to you for help, Lord; in the morning my prayer comes before you. 14 Why, Lord, do you reject me and hide your face from me?
15 From my youth I have suffered and been close to death; I have borne your terrors and am in despair. 16 Your wrath has swept over me; your terrors have destroyed me. 17 All day long they surround me like a flood; they have completely engulfed me. 18 You have taken from me friend and neighbor— darkness is my closest friend.
Watch “This Will Happen After Jesus Return: The Millennial Reign of Christ”
God’s Son Jesus will come back for His bride and will reign for 1,000 years after the great tribulation. He will take up the one’s saved in Christ Jesus at the sound of the last trumpet that the angel told me in a vision. It is confirmed in 1 Corinthians 15:52 in the New Testament.
1 Corinthians 15
15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
