DISCERNING
A JOSHUA GENERATION:
ARE
YOU PART OF IT?
TO
FIND OUT – READ ON.
In
an ever darkening world of an
antichrist
and
a new generation of atheism and immorality, God is
raising Warriors of Light to combat the spiritual
darkness of this so called, New Age.
Growing global governance and religious
intolerance, especially against Christians,
is
advancing at an alarming rate. If we add that to
the neo-Gnosticism that has infiltrated the Church
over the past 40 + years, the situation is
grim.
Jesus
asked, “if salt were to loose its flavor, with
what can it be
salted?”
|
|
In
just two
generations,
the
Judeo-Christian ethic, the salt that
advanced Western civilization, has been
all but removed from secular education,
politics, and hence society. The result is
that a formed moral conscience is replaced
with relativism and individualism, and
consequently, lawlessness, intolerance and
violence, the solution for which is an
ever growing rule by law and virtual
police states on a global scale.
This
is the Last & Final
Harvest!
Listen
now to this urgent message of the last
signs.
|
We
cannot turn back the prophetic clock of the Book of
Revelation and deny the signs and the nature of the
spiritual warfare of the times.
However,
we
can be as bold as Lions, and bravely present a
clear alternative until Jesus returns; one that can
be clearly seen and not just heard, although both
are required for effective witness.
Recently,
the Lord Jesus said through prophecy at Flame
Ministries’ St. Mary’s Cathedral Praise
Meeting (CPM)... “In these days, the young
shall be as the wisdom of age, and the aged will be
as though young. You are to seek a new wisdom for
these times from the Spirit of Truth to combat
lying sophistries. You are to be one together and
undivided.”
If
you have carried a burden for these
times,
and
sensed an urge to act, but have not yet known why
or how, then you could have heard the calling of
the Lord Jesus to become a new generation:
A
Joshua Generation;
one
that has a double portion of the Spirit as did
Elisha and living with the boldness of
Jeremiah.
In short, you are called to be, “Prophets
and Apostles of a New Age.”
(Pope
Benedict XVI WYD Sydney
2008)

ABOUT
JOSHUA
Joshua,
Son of Nun, took up the mantle of
leadership of the Israelites at the time
of Moses death. Joshua was a strong and
courageous young leader who led God's
people fearlessly into the Promised
Land… "Now Joshua son of Nun was full
of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had
laid his hands on him. So the people of
Israel obeyed him and did everything just
as the LORD had commanded Moses."
Deuteronomy 34:9.
|
You too,
like Joshua, Elisha, and Jeremiah, are to take up
the mantle of leadership in your circle of life,
and join the ranks of the Warriors of Light, and
like Saint Paul, be a witness to the Truth.
Here
are some personal characteristics of the Joshua (J)
Generation that were revealed by the Holy Spirit in
prayer. How do you
identify?
IMPORTANT
READ EACH STATEMENT WITH COMPLETE HONESTY
and
make a note (Eg: 15 = 2. 16 = 3 etc) if you
can identify with it, either because you are doing
it, recognize it as part of your character, or have
held genuine desires to become it and live by
it…
Your honest appraisal will help you to
discern
if you are a member of the
J-Generation
that is to take back the land (rights) that
God promised and gave to us that the devil has
stolen in our days.
