As our present body is sown into the death of the cross our new body is rising before the Throne of God in Heaven. The new body is our robe, our house from Heaven that will clothe us in the Day of Christ.

When our spirit, soul, and body have been transformed in Christ, and then filled with all the fullness of God, we have become the eternal Throne of God. When Christ appears we will appear with Him, judging and driving all the works of Satan from the creation.

Our position in Christ at the right hand of God was marked out from the beginning of the world. When we receive Christ our new born-again nature takes its place at the right hand of Power, far above every other title and authority in the universe.

Our task is to prevent our crown of authority from being taken from us.

We now are one of God's stars, His rulers, since we are positioned at His right hand.

Beginning in the present hour, all of God's stars will be shaken to see if they can be removed from the Throne. We can be removed if we have not truly counted ourselves dead with Christ and risen with Him; if we are not serving Him with a pure heart. If we are not overcoming the spirit of the world (Antichrist), the lusts of our flesh, and our self-will and rebellion, we can be shaken from our position at the right hand of God.

God is preparing to return to the earth. His throne is being established in the personalities of the victorious saints in preparation for the day when Christ appears and destroys wickedness from the creation.

To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. (Revelation 3:21—NIV)

Now we turn to the great latter-rain witness of the last days.

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14—NIV)

And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. (Revelation 11:3—NIV)

The greatest witness of God to be seen on the earth will be given in the near future. This is the latter (spring) rain promised in Joel, Hosea, Zechariah, and James. This will be an Elisha, double-portion anointing of the Spirit of God.

The two witnesses, as we understand the Scriptures, are Christ and His Body. They will bear witness of the soon coming of the Kingdom of God to the earth. It will be one last opportunity for people to repent before the end of the Church Age arrives.

Frequently we hear of prophecy to the effect that God is raising up a generation that will do exploits, that will cross Jordan. We at our church are firm believers in the young people and children, that God is going to use them in an outstanding way.

The army that is being prepared is an army of witnesses in the traditional sense. They will be armed with every gift needed to heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead, and preach and teach the Gospel of the Kingdom. Undoubtedly many of them will be given the gift of languages so they can speak to every nation, every tribe on earth.

To be continued.
