When God Comes Down In Revival
You can settle it in your mind that at the proper time — past or present — God has and will come down and make His presence known. FIRST, let’s establish that history proves His personal revelations of Himself. “Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldst come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence” (Isaiah 64:1).
This prophecy is yet to be fulfilled because Apostle Paul quotes the fourth verse that consists as part of this revelation. Read verse four(4) of Isaiah 64 and the New Testament quote of this verse in I Corinthians 2:9. We all know that God’s revelations in the Second Testament are always greater and more breathtaking than His revelations in the First Testament. Then, let’s see what He did back then. “And Mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly” (Exodus 19-18). This world is soon to see that the Mighty God is not to be toyed over. Because there has been no display of Almighty God, this world thinks they have a past. SECOND, God allows the actions of men in their rebellion to proceed until the cup of wrath is full. On the Day of Pentecost, Peter spoke by the Holy Ghost and declared a future revelation of the mighty powers to be displayed, “And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come” (Acts 2:19-20). No record of such an event has occurred since these words were spoken and we know God never says one thing that is not fulfilled. THIRD, we must be patient and faithfully expect our Father to fulfill every word of His Bible. “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain” (James 5:7). At any moment, you can expect God to make known His powers.

NOTICE THE PROPHECY IN THE LAST PART OF JAMES 5 V7..THE EARLY RAINS COME IN THE SPRING AND THE LATTER RAIN NEAR THE HARVEST OR MONTH OF THE NEW MOON. IS THE SUGGESTION OF THE RAPTURE IN SEPTEMBER AT THE TIME OF THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS? I THINK THIS NOT TO BE AN AGRICULTURE DISSERTATION EXCEPT THAT IT RELATES TO THE RAPTURE. THE LORD IS NOT SLACK CONCERNING HIS PROMISES. THE GREATEST DISPLAY OF HIS PRESENCE WAS IN JESUS CHRIST…NOT THE ONLY SON, BUT THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF THE FATHER. CHRIST SAID ABRAHAM SAW HIM IN HIS DAY AND WAS GLAD. CHRIST SAID IF YE HAVE SEEN ME YOU HAVE SEEN THE FATHER FOR THE FATHER AND I ARE ONE.(TOO DEEP FOR MY UNDERSTANDING BUT I BELIEVE IT). YET NO MAN HAS SEEN THE FACE OF GOD AND LIVED. WE WONDER OF HIS GREATNESS BEING MODIFIED TO VISIT THIS WORLD OF CORRUPTION, VIOLENCE AND SINS, WHAT A MYSTERY THAT HE IS CONCERNED OF HIS CREATION WHO ARE BUT DUST SPECS ON A PLANET IN THOUSANDS OF PLANETS IN THE MILKY WAY AND THE MILKY WAY ONE OF THOUSANDS THAT WE KNOW OF AND THE HUBBLE HAS PHOTOGRAPHED. HOW SMALL ARE WE THAT THE GREAT ANGELIC CONFLICT IS CONCLUDED IN HUMANITY…AS DAVID SAID, WHO IS MAN THAT THOU ARE MINDFUL OF HIM….GOD BLESS YOU….ARTHUR

Hello Pastor Joseph.
What we should remember is that a long delay doesn’t mean God won’t act. I am sure it took a considerable ammount of time for Noah to build the ark in which life wnet on as usual. But when the end came, it came very quickly.
The Hebrews were slaves in Egypt 400 years before their deliverance – in one night. The gap between the last prophet in the Bible, Malachi, and John the Baptist was, interestingly enough, around 400 years again.
Paul indicates the Rapture will be in the “twinkling of an eye,” or instantaneous (1 Corinthians 15:52-54).
Peter tells us specifically that because of the delay that would ensue between the time Jesus walked among us and his return, that scoffers would come in the last days to use this delay as fuel for their argument that Jesus never is coming back (2 Peter 3:3-4) and to discredit the Bible in general. It is my observation that even most of the church fits this category these days.
So, when Jesus told us to “Watch,” he wasn’t making idle conversation (Mark 13:32-37).

Wonderful teaching, Brother Chambers! In this day and age, we’re accustomed to things
happening in a “micro-wave instant.” We live in a very impatient and fast-paced world. If
people truly understood their destiny, would they be so eager to be in such a hurry?
But looking forward to that “glorious meeting in the air” and the great “Marriage Supper
of the Lamb” is truly something to be excited about and yearning for!
Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

All true Brother Chambers. Time for complete fulfillment in Joel 2:28-32 is at hand.
So to are the consequences of Joel 3:2 just after this regarding America’s treatment of Israel in its infuriating efforts to divide the Land of Israel which is God’s land to begin with.
We as a nation must return to II Chronicles 7:14 and Jeremiah 18:7-8 and demand the same of our leadership or we are finished as a nation – from the Western Watchman
