BIRTHING FORTH THE SAMUEL GENERATION

“So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and forever” Isa. 59:19-21

The enemy shall come against the work that the Lord is trying to do in our days, but the Spirit of the Lord will rise up against the enemy’s operation. It had been ichabod because we have in this perilous time hindered the operations of the Spirit

“But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy: So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off” Ezra 3:12-13 

Some of us were around when revival was at its peak in the 80s and saw divers’ miracles, signs and wonders plus effectual release of deep teachings and great revelation of the current proceeding word of God and it is not like the “lukewarm syndrome” going on in the Church today. All manner of false or fake prophets and teachers, lopsided teachings about wealth creation, even new creation realities and the need for befitting sanctuary of worship has been bastardized!

“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see” Rev. 3:17-18 

We say we are wealthy, highly anointed, full of the Holy Ghost and that you cannot argue with our result but God is saying we are poor, backslidden, blind and our spiritual raiment polluted like that of Joshua the high priest.

“Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. And he answered and spoke unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. And I said, Let them set a fair miter upon his head. So they set a fair miter upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by” Zech. 3:3-5 

God has chosen to pardon our iniquity and the Spirit of God is returning to the Church to do great and mighty works. His works shall be mighty in the life of those who turn away from transgression to serve the Lord in Spirit and truth.

Those who turn from their transgression, sin and iniquity. [Repentance]

"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it." Isa. 1:18-20

Only the remnant that will turn from their transgressions will partake in this season of refreshing meant to heal the land and our nation.

Only those willing to repent and be obedient to the directives of God will be filled with the Holy Spirit to an outpouring measure, and the Word of the Lord will proceed through the from the Lord. [Read Isa. 59:21]

Until the God declares "Ichabod" for the glory of God has departed from the Church. The wood has burnt out, and only ashes remain. Where the wood has gone out, there is no more fire [Prov. 26:20].

God is calling for repentance in this season... As with the leadership in the book of Isaiah… Prophet Isaiah in Isa. 6 saw the need to repent and declare "wow is me", God had to touch his mouth and forgive his sin; so, God is calling the remnant today who are of the Samuel and the David generation to draw near to Him and repent also.

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attentive unto the prayer, that is made in this place. For now, have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there forever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually" 2 Chron. 7:14-16

What are the processes of this healing and restoration?

1. Called by my name

2. Humble themselves

3. Pray and seek my face

4. Turn from their wicked ways

5. Hear from heaven

6. Forgive their sin

7. Heal their land

"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord" Acts 3:29

The Church will kickstart this process by confessing their sins, forsaking their old ways, and start to seek, and serve God, and fellowship with the Spirit of God daily; then a season of refreshing shall come from the Presence of the Lord.

We have the assurance in 2 Chronicles. 7:15, that only then will God give attention to the prayers we will pray here tonight.

Only then, as seen in the next verse, 2 Chronicles. 7:16 will the Lord sanctify us as the New Testament "Temple of God" and birth forth His precious promises in our lives, and His name shall be with us forevermore.

That means tonight, we must pray, and seek His face, and turn from all the wicked ways, and God will hear, forgive, and heal our land.

When Adam sinned, he was not cursed; the land was cursed for his sake. The healing of the land promised is to reverse the curse.

This process is not without judging those who has fallen from glory, having blatantly live a life that is wayward and walk perpetually in the Flesh. God will get rid of the sons of Aaron (Nadab and Abihu) who offered strange, profaned & unauthorized fire (Lev 10:1-2).

The generation of Eli, and his 2 sons Hophni & Phinehas who were sons of Beliel who slept with women at the entrance of the Sanctuary of God and use flesh book to desecrate the meat offerings of the Lord as we also see in our days will be wiped out, and "Ichabod" the glory is gone will be declared in their abode.

God looked for a sanctified, good-hearted person and found the child Samuel to take over the prophetic, priesthood, and judge office. That is what he is also doing today. God is looking for spiritual children who love the Lord and can be given “bootcamp” [quick work in righteousness] discipleship training that can be equipped for the End Time harvest of souls in the kingdom of God.

"And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision" 1 Sam. 3:1

So, it is your season, children of God, to take over the helm of affairs in the body of Christ as the Ichabod-ERS are rounding up, God is bypassing the Eli, Saul and the Pharisees and Sadducees to choose and use the foolish things of the world to confound the wise [1 Cor. 1:27].

God is bringing the season of restoration so that all that the body has lost can be given to the "Child Samuel Generation" to do the works of ministry. If you study Eph. 4:11-15 very well, you will see that the Five-Fold ministers are to prepare the Samuel generation to do the work of the ministry.

The Saul Generation is stepping aside so that the Davidic generation can take over as Kings and Priests (Rev. 1:9), do the End Time works of God. It is time for Timothy and Titus to take over and do the work.

God is restoring the years the locust has eaten. He is giving us Corn, New Oil, and Wine [Joel 2:15-28]

There will be an outpouring of the HOLY Spirit (Joel 2:15-28) to arm us with all that is needed for kingdom works (Luke 4:18) after we have repented and go back to our first love and to do the first works.

It is time for the Jeremiah Generation to take over (Read Jer. 1:1-12). Like the youth and teenagers of today, Jeremiah told God, I am but a child but God said, My hands have touched your mouth, I have purged and cleansed you, and put my words in your mouth. I have empowered you...

"See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. Moreover, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree. Then said the LORD unto me, you have well seen: for I will HASTEN my word to perform it" Jer. 1:10-12

Like Jeremiah, God has empowered our youth and teenagers and He is setting them over nations and over kingdoms. They will root out, pull down, destroy, throw down, build, and plant.

What they will do will also depend on what they see. They must know the vision of the Lord, and do it according to the pattern that the Lord showed to them, for only then will the glory of God shows up.

God asked young man Jeremiah what he saw that God was set to do, he said I see an almond tree. God replied... You have seen well; I will HASTEN My Word to perform it (Jer. 1:12)

Get ready!!!

The question is, are you ready to go through the boot camp process so that God can quickly work discipleship training in you? He will then send you to retrieve His people still frolicking in the kingdom of darkness so that they, too, can be trained, equipped, and sent forth in recovery mode to save others.

God is set and ready, the question is are you ready?

I PRAY FOR YOU EPHESIANS 1:17-19 TPT

“I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know him through your deepening intimacy with him. I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of his calling—that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that he finds in us, his holy ones! I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power” Eph. 1:17-19 TPT 

God is set to give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, the eyes off your understanding will be enlightened to see into the realm of the Spirit, and you will see the vision and work with it...
