In the movie “Hoosiers” a school basketball coach (Gene Hackman) teaches his raw and undisciplined basketball team the true meaning of the word “Team”.

How? By breaking them down... right to the foundations...only to build them back up - all the Way from the bottom. It was a hard lesson to learn - a lesson in patience and humility - if you will, a pressure test on an individual’s heart. Some games in the season were lost - and badly, as each individual in the team learned to look not only to their own ability, but to the ability of the man next to him. The movie climaxes as predicted, with a great victory for the team- but it was a victory that came through pressure and humbling...and one that could never have come, had the boys not learned to see themselves as one unit...

And this is exactly what God is teaching us His Church in this season.

Jesus will not come back to a one- man show; He will not return to an elitist club, nor the “select few”: He will return for an Ekklesia - a gathering, separated from the world, that is functioning as One - in Him and each other...One Body under One Head: A Team...An Army... A Family. 

Read Hebrews 12:1-3

The Beautiful Remnant of America Part 1

15  “Can a woman forget her nursing child,      that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget,      yet I will not forget you. 16  Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;      your walls are continually before me. Isaiah 49:15-16 This most recent prophecy is part of my “Fast for Family”, and again runs parallel with my previous visions - some of which can be read in the footnotes at the end. The Beautiful Remnant of the United States of America  i The unity of baptism : I saw many in America: Many families. They stood as if on the banks of the Red Sea, as Israel under Moses…driven there by the Holy Spirit, perused by the kingdom of the anti-Christ. They had been driven there for Baptism: (See Romans 6:1-14) I saw many families. They went down separately…and when they came up they were one: in the Lord and in each other. I realized that this type of unity…the desire and praye...

Volume III 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 the...

Ch.9 ~ The Aftermath of the Great Fall! Part I

Introduction   Written May 4, 2021 Why I believe the Church must endure tribulation: I believe in a final great awakening...and as hard as I try, I cannot shake it off... it is in my DNA... I saw the great eagle that is the USA suddenly arise like lightning from the earth, for (what I believe) would be her last, but finest hour... and at the same time, the gospel move like a great tsunami wave, across the earth, to the farthest islands of the sea, in a playing out of Matthew 24:14;  I saw my own nation explode into the flames of revival; Europe was on fire; I watched as the continent of Africa ran red with the blood of Jesus...I saw other nations that I am not free to disclose...I saw people drop everything and run, run, RUN through the narrow gate - compelled by the deepest darkness the world had ever known...I watched the most hardened and vilest offenders stagger through this same gate and fall to their knees before the Lord...I saw in Africa, hands lifted up from souls tha...
