The Prophetic Picture of Acts

If you have read the book of acts in the bible then you are familiar with how the Holy Spirit was poured out. Also you will remember how many people were saved healed and delivered, how the apostles were persecuted by the Pharisees, and how some of them were jailed and later executed for their faith. I believe that the book of acts is not only a record of history, but that it is also a prophetic picture of God's plans for the end time revival in North America, and for the great harvest of souls in the earth. Some of these things are already happening in other places in the world.

I believe that we as the Church remnant have been in a stage of preparation like the original disciples were in the upper room just before Pentecost. We are about to receive a fresh corporate outpouring of the Holy Spirit that will empower us to heal the sick, cast out evil spirits, and preach the gospel in power. I believe that we will see many people get saved all at once, and that like the original outpouring of the Spirit, the Holy Spirit will direct and govern us as a body. I believe that God wants us to take His power, love, and gospel to the streets, and to all public areas.

I believe that all those who get saved will lay down everything that they own to be shared in common with other believers, and that all things will be for corporate use and distribution to help whoever is in need. I believe that there will be groups of Christians living in homes and meeting in homes regularly and that the Church will again become a church of the city. I believe that we will operate with a system of elders and deacons just like in the first outpouring. I believe that God will give us large pieces of land to live together on, and to bring new converts there to grow.

I believe that along with this great outpouring, there will also come a great persecution by not only the world, but especially by the ultra-religious, non Spirit-filled, non-discerning Pharisees. I do believe that a few of these Pharisees type Christians will have an experience with Jesus just like Saul did on the road to Damascus, but that most of them will fiercely attack all those who flow and operate in the power of God. We must stand our ground and let God deal with these people. We will also see many witchcraft and Satanic people attempt to come against us, and some will try to sneak into our ranks, but some of these people will see God's power and be saved.

I believe that this persecution will become severe around the end, especially after most of the harvest is already brought in, and that the Antichrist and his spirit will imprison and kill many of the true believers, while many other nominal Christians will renounce their faith in Jesus Christ. But I also believe that we will stand before world leaders and preach the gospel because of this persecution. I believe that many of us will be miraculously released from jail and prison, and there will also be some who get teleported like Philip was, so that they can travel during a time of great travel restrictions. I believe that we will be working closely with angels sent to help us.

I believe that we will see much greater things take place in these last days than what we saw happen in the book of acts. I believe we will see great miracles of provision like the fishes and the loaves, and that God will miraculously provide for Christians in a time of great economic downturn and government control and persecution. I believe that Jesus Christ is coming very soon, and that it is time to wash our robes by the power of His blood, spirit, and word. This is an exciting time we live in my friend, so get ready to be part of the greatest move of God on the earth ever. God will be faithful to lead you all the way through your wilderness, through revival, and into His glory.
