Intercessory Prayer in North America Day 113: Prayer for the saints to see the world situation in relation to God’s move on earth Pray that the saints would h...ave a clear vision of the world situation in relation to God’s move on earth to carry out His recovery (Acts 17:26-27 and notes 261-2; Dan. 2:21; 4:17). Acts 17:26-27And He made from one every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, determining beforehand their appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwelling, that they might seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, even though He is not far from each one of us. Acts 17:261, oneAdam. Some ancient MSS read, one blood. Acts 17:262, appointedThe migrations to America in their times and with their boundaries are strong proof of this word and the first part of the succeeding verse. Dan. 2:21And it is He who changes the times and seasons; / He deposes kings and causes kings to ascend. / He gives wisdom to the wise / And knowledge to those who have understanding. Dan. 4:17This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the decision is a command of the holy ones, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High is the Ruler over the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever He wills and sets up over it the lowliest of men. MINISTRY PORTION: The church comes out of mankind. To have the proper church life, we must therefore know the world situation. This situation is under God’s sovereign arrangement. I like Acts 17:26: And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation (KJV). God made all the nations out of one blood. Regardless of all the different skin colors, God made all the races out of the blood He created in Adam. One blood means one person, that is, Adam. In a sense we should not have concepts about people because of their skin color; all of us are out of the same blood The time was before appointed. God made the appointment when America should be exposed to the descendants of Japheth. You remember Noah’s prophecy: May God enlarge Japheth (Gen. 9:27). Now the time was ripe for Japheth to be enlarged and to spread abroad. The example of the discovery of America is only one illustration of how the spreading of the nations, their boundaries, and their time are all determined by God’s appointment Since World War II, the United States has been the heart of the populated world. Its climate is temperate. It lies between two great oceans, which are like the wings of an eagle. Whatever the United States does, the entire world follows. This is true financially, industrially, scientifically, politically, militarily, religiously, scripturally, and spiritually. Even in language, it is American English, not British, which prevails. Why has God ordained this? It is for His move on earth to carry out His recovery. The Roman Empire was for the gospel. Germany was for the Reformation. Britain was for the spreading of the gospel and of the truth. Now the United States has become the center for the recovery. From here it can spread to all the continents in a worldwide languageGod will use America to spread His recovery so that the Lord may return.

Weekly Bible Reading Schedule-Prophesying Notes Week 92: Ezek. 22:1-30:26 This week’s eight long chapters of Ezekiel concludes with God’s judgement of the different types of people of the children of Israel, and details more on God’s judgement upon the nations. Again, on the surface text, it seems like the prophet is just condemning things that are not godly back then.

Weekly Bible Reading Schedule-Prophesying Notes Week 91: Ezek. 12:1-21:32 Continuing with the second section of Ezekiel, which concerns the judgement of God by fire. Specifically, this is still going to be on God’s judgement on Israel, His chosen people, the judgement upon the nations will be later. This makes Ezekiel a parallel to Revelations, God judges the believers first, the unbelievers afterwards. Thus the people of Israel are a figure of church in the New Testament....Continue reading
