What foundation is the Christian really standing on?

What foundation is the Christian really standing on?

I have a prevailing concern in these days. It is coming from the heart of God. Some believers do not stand upon the solid rock that is Christ Jesus. If the believer makes anything else their foundation they will not stand in the evil day. But of far greater import they will not be ready for the Lord, be it when He comes on the clouds of heaven, or when their earthly tent expires and they meet him face-to-face. 


All other ground is sinking sand. Biblical knowledge or the ability to understand deeper things is not evidence of knowing God. Labouring for Him is also not evidence of this divine fellowship. Hating the wicked or seeing their works as abhorrent is not a sign of friendship with God either. Using certain bible versions does not impress God or bring the believer closer to Him. Using His Hebrew name is also not a mark of their union with God. Critiquing other believers, denominations, or church groups is not an indication of holiness or a connection with the Father. Praying the 'sinners prayer' or going to church regularly proves nothing. Furthermore prophesying, casting out demons or performing miracles is also not an assurance that the believer knows Him.

So what is the guarantee of this divine relationship between the believer and God?

Jesus asked those who followed him; "Who do you say that I am?" With all assurance Peter immediately exclaimed, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!" Jesus then made a startling statement of the utmost importance for the believer today. He declared, "This was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven." 

Peter's knowledge of Christ was based solely upon a personal revelation from the Father – a supernatural experience from heaven.

A believers faith then is empty if they have not experienced a personal revelation from the Father of who Christ is. This is the beginning of the 'born again' experience Jesus spoke about. It is more powerful an experience spiritually, as when a child is born into the natural world. Through a supernatural revelation from the Father the believer is born into a new spiritual world. They are taken out of darkness and brought into the light. This is not a theory or an abstract idea. It is a real and life-changing, supernatural experience that irrevocably changes the heart and mind of the person from a default setting of living in sin for self, to a default setting of living in holiness for God.

It is upon this solid rock of revelation from the Father of who Christ is, that Jesus said He would build His Church, and upon this solid foundation that He said hell would not be able to overcome it. 

Let all believers then make absolutely sure they are standing upon the solid rock of Christ Jesus today. For all other ground is sinking sand. Anything else will not connect them with God. If they are unsure, let them humbly ask Him for a supernatural revelation. If they ask Him with all of their heart He will surely answer and stand them firmly upon the Rock today.

Time to WATCH and PRAY

World War III on the Horizon? Almost three years ago during the night watches of 14th July 2012 I experienced a detailed warning vision concerning the alliance of Western powers and a resulting and devastating military conflict with Russia. To be plainly honest, I have tried, but to no avail, to put this warning vision out of my mind.  However, with the current escalating tensions between the US/EU/NATO and Russia,  the vision has become like a burning fire in me and I am urged by the Lord to make it public today. Last Saturday night, unable to sleep, I began to prepare this blog. But the following morning, again I wanted to hold off from sharing the vision. Then, while in church yesterday, I felt compelled to greet a man of God who I highly respect and honour with all my heart. We spoke briefly as we always do. To my surprise he cautioned me to not forget the prophetic events surrounding Russia and what is currently happening in the Ukraine. We had not spoken about c

18 things you need to start thinking about

Over the years I've been asked many times; "Are you preparing for the kinds of emergency situations you refer to in your books Trumpet Blast Warning and Beyond Earthly Realms?" For example in Trumpet Blast Warning I write: The West is about to be shaken as never before... The current financial crisis is only the beginning. Out of the ashes of the economic ruins a new global financial system will rise...Cash will be consigned to history and the only means to buy and sell will be through a digitised system...  Martial law - the imposition of military rule to maintain order - will be instituted. The burgeoning surveillance grid will facilitate the military takeover... The people, desperate for food, will do anything in order to survive.    Read more > In Beyond Earthly Realms I write:  A societal collapse is coming; the warning signs are all around us. This will be triggered by a combination of key factors, such as the continued abandonment of godly mora

The Greater Enemy - A Vital Warning Message to the Church

Image
April 15th, 2020, Jason Carter The invisible enemy continues to wreak havoc across our world. But a far greater peril looms visible in plain sight. An existential threat to all humanity rises. But the locked-down masses sleepwalk oblivious. They binge-watch Netflix, with phone, death-gripped in hand, vacantly surfing their virtual existence. Others sit engaged, long i nto the night, squinty-eyed, in Xbox fantasy conflicts. If only they would stand up to fight the real battle poised to snatch them away. Like addicts, the masses inject mainstream disinformation, a fix that lasts only a moment before the need to return for more. Promulgators of fear and deceit are the once trusted broadcasters, demoralising the populace into a defeatist and cowering mindset. The dumbed down ones believe that once the curfew is lifted, life will return to normal. Only few understand it will never be the same. Of course a veneer of normality will be viewed by those who wilfully choose to c
