Blood Stage!
By: Chris Chandler
We are living in the most exciting time in the history of mankind. We are entering into a time of flood stage for the glory of God. As God's glory begins to flood the earth, we, the church, will be walking in the fullness of our salvation. God spoke to me and said that we will be at "Blood Stage!"The River Of Life When we first entered the ministry, God gave us an amazing revelation concerning the river of life that flows from His throne. He said that the river is the blood of Jesus!
Revelations 22:1
NIV
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal,
flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
The river originates from the throne of God and flows from the Lamb of
God...Jesus. God said that the river of life begins blood red but then becomes
crystal clear. He said that the river is deep and will always remain that
way. He said to plunge into the river and to be totally immersed in it. When
we do that, the fire of God will blaze on the inside of us!
Daniel saw this river ablaze with the glory of God proceeding from Jesus, the
Ancient of Days.
Daniel 7: 9-10
NIV
As I looked, ...the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was as white
as snow; the hair of His head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with
fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.
A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before Him. Thousands upon
thousands attended Him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
A Flood Is Coming!
We are about to encounter a flood of God's glory like never before! We will
eventually become completely immersed in the river as it rises. As we go
deeper, we will begin to experience the fullness of our salvation and God's
power and glory!
Ezekiel saw this flood in a vision. He saw the river of life flowing from the
temple of God. As he approached the water, it would get higher and higher.
First, he was ankle deep. Next, he was knee deep. Then, he was waist deep.
Finally, he saw that the river was at flood stage!
Ezekiel 47:5
NIV
...but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen
and was deep enough to swim in--a river that no one could cross.
Wherever this river went it brought life, just like the blood of Jesus! (Ezekiel 47:9; John 6:56-57) Ezekiel saw that it was teaming with life. There were large numbers of fish swimming in it, and the trees along its banks provided fruit year round. The leaves were for the healing of the nations. (Ezekiel 47:9-12, Rev. 22:2)
The Flood Will Bring A Harvest
The gospel of Jesus must be preached to all creation before His return. Jesus
said that the harvest comes at the end of the age. (Matt. 13:39) We are
entering into that time of harvest. The flood of God's glory will serve to
reap in the multitudes! The world will see God's goodness as He performs
awesome signs, miracles, and wonders through believers.
Jesus said, "
Come and follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.
" (Mark 1:17) He told Simon Peter to launch out into the deep water, and to
let down the nets for a catch. When he launched out, Simon caught such a large
number of fish that the nets even began to break. Even more, they had to call
on another boat to take in all the fish. They filled both boats so full that
they began to sink! (Luke 5:4-11) This is the kind of massive harvest of
souls that Jesus wants us to reap into His Kingdom before He returns!
We are on the verge of the flood stage of God's glory!
Habakkuk 2:14
NIV
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as
the waters cover the sea. Get ready to launch out into the deep....We are entering
"Blood Stage!"
