✝️Easter Sunday: The Time of Fulfillment

1. Biblical Foundation (Luke 24:44-53)

·        Christ addressed his disciples regarding the fulfillment of the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.

·        Jesus opened their understanding so they could comprehend the scriptures.

·        Key Mandate: Repentance and remission of sins must be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

2. The Urgency of Time

·        We are living in a "time of fulfillment"; time is not on our side.

·        The significance of Holy Week: The final eight days of Jesus’ life, passion, death, and resurrection.

·        Historical connection: Zechariah 9:9 was fulfilled 500 years after it was written.

·        The year 2030 marks roughly 2,000 years since the resurrection, highlighting a prophetic spiritual time clock.

3. The State of the Church and Personal Calling

·        The "Righteous Church" vs. the "Ratchet Church": God is coming back for a church that lives righteously.

·        Accountability: Pastors and leaders will give an account to God for every word spoken from the altar.

·        The Gospel is not a business: It is not for sale, and the house of God is a house of prayer.

·        Personal Assignment: Every believer has a calling and an assignment; get right with God first, then right with men.

4. Prophetic Overview

·        The Bible contains approximately 2,500 prophecies.

·        2,000 prophecies have already been fulfilled.

·        The remaining 500 prophecies are split: half before the Rapture and half after.

·        Warning against "Strange Fires": Do not get distracted by marketing or programs that water down the truth.

5. Current Events and the Prophetic Clock

·        Israel as God’s Chosen Land (Genesis 12): It serves as the prophetic time clock between the Rapture and the Second Coming.

·        The Rapture and the Second Coming are two distinct events; the goal is to be ready for the Rapture.

·        Middle Eastern conflicts (Ezekiel 38 & 39, Jeremiah 49) are prophetic indicators.

6. Understanding Repentance and Holiness

·        Repentance defined: A profound change of mind, a change of direction, turning from sin, and turning toward God.

·        Holiness vs. Religion: Holiness is about relationship and being on the same page as God, not rituals/traditions.

·        Sin of Unforgiveness: One of the deadliest sins; believers must release offenses to be in right standing.

7. The Principle of First Fruits

·        The Hebrew/Jewish calendar follows a lunar/solar cycle, tracking from creation.

·        First Fruits is an "attitude of gratitude," honoring God with the very best of what He has provided.

·        Recognition of God’s unconditional love and protection over our lives.

8. Closing Exhortation

·        Tomorrow is not promised: Prophecy indicates that in the last days, time will be shortened.

·        Do not waste time trying to justify reckless living; seek God while He may be found.

·        The only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
