The Return was created to be a “national and global day of prayer and repentance". For a long time now, those two actions—prayer and repentance—have weighed heavily on my heart as two of the most needed and most lacking disciplines in the American church. Here are my three take-aways from attending the event in Washington, D.C.
If you've never read a book by Jonathan Cahn, get ready for a different way of looking at the world — in a good way! Just as we believe his message is important, Jonathan Cahn's methods provide a fresh perspective on prophecy and history to help us understand the world we live in today. Jonathan Cahn is a watchman, and a prophetic voice, for this generation. God has used him to sound the alarm of warning to anyone who will listen.
There is a global storm brewing, and it looks on the outside like civil unrest, cultural revolution, government corruption, tyrannical oppression, and societal breakdown, with a pandemic thrown in for good measure. But the root cause of this storm is spiritual, and so must the solution be.
From studying God's Word, we understand the big picture. We see the signs of the times and we fully trust in God's plan. Now it is time for biblical Christians to live each day with prophetic urgency. As it says in Romans 12:11-12, "Keep serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, enduring in distress, persisting in prayer..."
In these prophetic days, are you frightened and losing hope? Or are you staying strong in Christ Jesus? It's either one or the other. It can't be both. When we dwell in God's Word on a daily basis, it fills our spirit with strength and hope for any trials that come our way.
When it comes to studying end-times prophecy, there are books, blogs, and Bible studies beyond number. This is our attempt to take a step back, look at the big picture, and share some signposts that can help us identify where we are on the biblical, prophetic roadmap.
God used Isaiah to proclaim some of the most well-known passages in the Bible about the Savior of the World. God can use us, too, for His divine purposes. But we must be careful to live as godly men and women, following Isaiah's example. Today, let's all apply these strategic insights from the book of Isaiah to our lives and see how God uses it.
These are prophetic days. Days just like the days of Noah. And before we know it, our Savior will return. We see the signs of the times and we fully trust in God's plan. Now it is time for biblical Christians to live each day with prophetic urgency.
Are we living in the end times? That's the big question on today's episode of the Living Strategically podcast. We also review Jonathan Cahn's new book, The Oracle: The Jubilean Mysteries Unveiled, which was released in September 2019.
