 Read 1Kings18:20-40


Vs. 27 And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.” 28 And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with swords and lances, until the blood gushed out upon them. 29 And as midday passed, they raved on until the time of the offering of the oblation, but there was no voice. No one answered; no one paid attention...vs 40 Then Elijah commanded them, “Seize the prophets of Baal. Don’t let anyone get away!” They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there.


~Was Elijah being ‘unloving’?...

NO! ... Chains of bondage that are this thick and tightly wrapped, require an extremely hard hitting and/or sharp tool to break them....

Because real Love sets the captive free...therefore Real Love must speak the truth (John8:32) - no matter how hard it is to hear (read Matt 23)

Do not mistake the Love of God with any New Age imitation from the Enemy of Love and the father of all lies.

Because God, in His Love, is shaking His Church to her foundations- much of which is not good. Fault lines and chasms have now appeared, and we must decide which side we are on (1Kings18:21). The time of ‘red-carpet Christianity’, of ‘seeker-sensitive church’....of flirting with this world - is over.

Do not be afraid: God is sifting...He will separate us before He unifies us, so that when He does, we will be pure, undiluted and more unified than we ever were before...under One Head - Jesus Christ!

The Final Reformation Volume III Ch.2 The Beautiful Remnant of America - Part 2

The Beautiful Remnant of America Part II   So they shall fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come like a rushing stream, which the wind of the Lord drives. Isaiah 59:19 Before continuing, please ensure that you have first read Chapter 1 ~ The Olive Press https://undergod714.blogspot.com/2024/03/john-1220-among-those-who-went-up-to.html i ~ The “Hidden” Remnant   “What is a tree without its roots? Roots expand underground in the darkness - the hidden place, that the tree may stand, firmly grounded through the storm. This expansion does not come without faith, time, patience and endurance, and goes entirely un-noticed and un-acclaimed,  because it takes place underground . And yet we know that this expansion is essential to the life and health of the tree.  So it is for the Church in this hour… “What is a house without its foundations?  A house built quickly- on sand    - will not stand - but th...

The Final Reformation Vol.3, Ch.14 The Unraveling to the End

  The Final Dispensation   Romans 8: 35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?  36  As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long;  we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37  No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.  38  For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,  39  nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Isaiah 52:7 This picture - taken from the movie “ War Games ”, is as close as I can get, to describe the John 12:24 glory over the nations: the overlapping and arching lines are the Body of Christ as we go out to preach the Gospel; the dark background is the evil of the anti christ regime and the wh...

The Final Reformation Vol.3, Ch.8 ~ The Love of a Motley Crew

~From now on, whenever I write “the clock was ticking” or words along that line, I am referring to the winding down of the time of the Gentiles spoken of by Paul in Romans 11:25 - and the lead up to “ Jacob ’s trouble”, spoken of in Jeremiah 30:7 (which I believe to be the (7) or 3 1/2 years of great tribulation) *With regards to the differing views on eschatology, I can only write what I saw, enforcing it, as best I can, with the Word of God. You the reader, may or may not agree.* ~~~ {In 1607, landed at Cape Henry, Virginia and surrounded by a motley crew of sailors, ex-criminals and prospectors, the Rev. Robert Hunt kneels under a seven foot cross, brought with him from England and prays the following: “Father, we come to you in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ our Savior to dedicate this land to the glory of God…Father in Heaven, we consecrate this Cross.   We consecrate ourselves to the Great Commission , making disciples of all the people of this new land.   We consec...
