Spirit of Elijah...or spirit of deception?                          Revelation 13:11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 


***And (if we are still here in the tribulation period) this sign in particular, poses a real threat of deception to the Church...to those of us who are not watching and praying. Why?...See 1Kings 18***


Cont. vs14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth....”Watch out the no one deceives you...”Jesus- (read Matt24:4,11)


Signs and wonders are supposed to accompany the preaching of the True Gospel. They’re not supposed to make us believe; they’re supposed to “follow those who believe”(Mark16:15-18): Because Satan can also perform signs and wonders; they will accompany his false gospel. I love signs and wonders. But in how much danger of deception are we the Church, if all we are looking for are “signs and wonders”?(Matt16:4)...even mistakenly thinking that this ‘sign’ performed by the false prophet (vs13-14) is the much proclaimed “Spirit of Elijah.” See Matt24:24-25


So what is the Spirit of Elijah?...

Luke 1:17 And he (John the Baptist) will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous--to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

This is the heart of God; the Spirit of Elijah; the  same Spirit that dwells in us today...for the same work...This is the greatest sign and wonder, a hallmark of sincere repentance and true revival.

Do not be deceived- but discern the Ways of God.

The Keys

 The keys 🗝🔑 Isaiah 42 6  “I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I will take you by the hand and keep you; I will give you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations, 7  to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness The stairs were dark...except for the Light of the Lord, as He stood at the top. We, the saints of God were with Him.  And I could hear: It was the sound of deep groans, cries, screams of despair and hopelessness, coming from below. And I heard the Lord say one Word: “Keys” As I watched, the saints of God who were with Him, each took the keys of the Kingdom given to them by Jesus Christ and began to descend the stairs into the darkness.  Each saint as they went, was shrouded almost to invisibility, by the Blood of Jesus and the Light of His countenance, which emanated from them. Some of them went three or four levels down...to the deepest, darkest plac...

The Crucifixion

  Part III   The Fire…The Church Crucified   {At 10min 24sec} The tone…the chords of Kim’s keyboard seemed to change: I saw Fire…I felt heat…And I saw the Church…with her back against the wall… and her heart against the Cross… she began to cry out to God:  Not cries as we have done before, but these were cries of absolute desperation: An awakening…to realize that it is either Jesus Christ or nothing at all.  I heard grandparents praying for children…tears flowed like a river, from years and years of prayer…Upon the altar, years and years of prayers came up as incense before the Lord, spanning decades.  Men..fathers...grandfathers...husbands crying out to God...and the smoke of the incense was filling the throne room: Around the Cross were scores of people: Men especially, seemed to come from everywhere…some running, some bent almost double with weeping…some were crouched over as if covering their families: Whole families were embracing the Cross…in the mids...

Part IV The Church Resurrected

  Part IV The Rain…The Church Resurrected   {At 12min 15sec}  I saw the heavens begin opening…the rains began to fall: And it was as if I also saw tombs opening up: We arose up from the ground…We came up, as if, from out of a tomb. {At 12min 26sec} I watched as whole families were taken up and like lightning, disappeared into the Body of Christ...nameless and faceless...each part began to immediately function as one... taking a unique place...I saw as if a natural body, organs, muscles, bone...we all had a place, and like lightning, with extreme order and precision (like an Army) we all took it…through the Fire, we had learned how to kneel. I did not see the Lord - only his feet: But at his appearance the entire Remnant Army, as one man, fell on their faces and began to worship the Lord - with a sound of unity that made the ground beneath them shake. Kim Clement: “PRAY!” We stood up in Christ… {At 13min 18sec} The church stood on her feet - a mighty army. She was a warrio...
