"The Power of ONE"


"Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.  As the people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there...Then they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise, we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.'  But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building.  The Lord said, 'If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.  Come let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.'  So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city."
(Genesis 11:1-8)



Herein, dear friends, is "The Power of ONE."  The people were in one mind, one accord, for the purpose of building a tower to overthrow the Holy God, or in their vernacular, so that they would not be "scattered over the face of the whole earth."  Who, out there, knows that NO ONE can outwit God, can thwart the Holy One of Israel, can diminish the power of The Almighty, can humiliate The Creator?  But, it's interesting that the LORD said that because they were ONE in their mindset and purpose, what they intended would not be impossible for them!  Astounding, isn't it?  They were using the power of ONE for evil gain, but what if God's people could become ONE for kingdom victory, for evangelism to win the world, for the overflow of power to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, for the army of God marching in cadence to the very beat of His heart? 



Have you ever wondered where all the languages in the world came from?  This is it, the Tower of Babel.  The Lord confused their language so that they could not converse in order to continue building their tower, and then He scattered them all over the world.  An ingenious plan, wasn't it?  An evil and malicious plot was "nipped in the bud" in one swift second.  Our arms are too short to box with God!  


Our Almighty God is a lover, not a boxer!  He would much rather wrap His reaching loving arms around His beloved creation than discipline us.  His love for us is deeper than any salty ocean, higher than the greatest mountain peak, holier than the most sacred of devotion, sweeter than whispers in the star-studded moonlight, stronger than the sumo wrestler, more faithful than any human soul  ...  He IS the essence of Love personified  ...  to a people unqualified  ... in a time of urgency bona fide  ...


"Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the
same love, being of one accord, of one mind."
(Philippians 2:2)


What could we do if hands joined together around the world in unity for the cause of the Lord Jesus Christ?  We could shake planet earth; we could cause revival from Nation to Nation; we would infuse the Spirit of the God of the universe into a world torn apart with hatred, violence and terror  ...  But it takes ONE mind, ONE accord, ONE voice, ONE Spirit, ONE Power  ...  in a purpose of "One."

"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement
give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you
follow Christ Jesus."
(Romans 15:5)

We go forth as an army, like Gideon's army, of One; One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism = ONE purpose. (Ephesians 4:5)  "ONE" sat on the throne and ONE is coming back to reclaim earth.  "And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one." (I John 5:8)  "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." (I John 5:7)  We must never underestimate the Power, effect, and strength of One!


One x one x one x  ...  So is the multiplication of the Gospel of the omnipotent Lord Jesus Christ.  When "One" is an army of 580 million, who have received the Holy Ghost and fire the world over, it's a force to be reckoned with.  God's army is growing in Spirit, in Power, in Unity, in Purpose, in Destiny, in Kingdom mindset, and we will fill the earth with the love of God, the grace of God, and the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, from Nation to Nation all around the world  ...  and then the end shall come  ...

It all happens because of The name of Jesus Christ our Lord, the Holy, dynamic, unstoppable fire of the Holy Ghost, and the army of God, the body of Christ, operating in "The Power of One."

"Thou Art Holy"



Holy is our cry, as we bow in obeisance, to the One who reigns in 
 Glory, the One who rules with power and wonders
He owns the heavens, and proves with winds of authority, and the
 sights and sounds of lightnings and thunder
Holy, Holy, Holy, rises to His ears in our humble surrender to the
Lover of our souls, the great I AM
We are between His face and His fury in this time of "Noah," and
 we see the Lion emerge from the Lamb
Maranatha! is our shout as we gaze into the heavens, urging our
 God to come like a thief, and give us flight
His light is burning bright in the glow of His bride, but she longs
 for her groom in the wee hours of night
"Come, my beloved," is her ever yearning plea; blow the trumpet
 and gather me in Your arms so strong
But, the groom bares His arm; Isaiah 52 and 10 states His stance;
 He's showing the Nations to whom they belong
There's war in the heavens and war in the earth, for the final
 battle to Harvest the beloved of their God
It's a moving in the Spirit, a feeling like never before, this
 Euroclydon surge, that to the lost seems so odd 
Oh, stand and watch, ye laodicean world, for the hour has come
 for Spirit upon all flesh and exploits untold
You are in the middle of white fields and the reapers are coming,
so get ready for the brilliance of God to unfold
Destiny has arrived for prophecy to speak, and the mountains and
 the valleys will look for a place to hide
The Lion of Judah has given the final call to all those who wish to
 escape Tribulation, and would prefer to ride
It's a Rapture call to one and all, a nudge that bows the knee, and
 brings forth tears of sorrow, and repentance
No one is exempt; either we're ready to fly in the night sky, or we
 suffer Tribulation with judgment and vengeance
Evil has a final date with Jesus Christ, but first He'll remove His
 redeemed, and we'll be with Him ever and always
He says to repent and be filled with His Spirit, with tongues of His
 utterance; and be baptized in Jesus' name today
For we know not the hour when our Lord will come; we just know
 we feel His closeness; it's soon and very soon
Yield to the Holy One who looks for honest hearts, and be ready in
 the morning, at night, or at noon
The whispers are getting louder and time is running out; call to
 Your Creator; He's ready, your sins to pardon
He's prepared a place for You; it's streets of gold, walls of jasper,
 gates of pearl; it's greater than Eden's garden
Do you hear Him call your name in the darkness of the night?
  Give him your life, and come to Him boldly
He's the Lily of your valley, and your bright and morning star; to
 know Him is to love Him; you'll sing "Thou Art Holy."

"The World Is My Parish"



"I had rather work ten yards from hell
than within the sound of chapel bells. 
The World is my Parish."
(Pastor Kenneth Phillips)



Who, in earth, has the capacity, the depth, the unction, the heart of Almighty God to LOVE the entire world  ...  as God loves it?  Who walks the floor night after night with a burden washing over his soul, consuming his mind, filling his spirit, and drawing his tears for a lost world?  Who prays, fasts, schemes, plans, gives, goes, gathers, and unites for One cause?  The answer is the Father of the Nations, the one called to the purpose of God in this final hour  ...  Does this mean that he doesn't love his own flock, the sheep of his Church?  Oh, no; no one loves his flock more; no one prays and loves the people of his Church more than "this" Shepherd.  He is: Pastor, Prophet, Bishop, Father, and Friend to every living soul on planet earth  ...  He is the one with a heart after God: Kenneth Phillips.

You ask, "Is it his Birthday, or something special for this tribute?"  Nope.  "Is it some special occasion?"  Nope. "Is there something else mighty going on at the Church?"  Nope, but it is a celebration of victory from "cancer."  However, this is written because of his statement back in 2012, and it's even stronger today in his spirit, than it was back then  ... it punched me in the soul  ...  it captured my spirit  ...  it drew my tears  ...  and it did the same to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  You say, "What statement are you talking about?"  I'm talking about that profound powerful sentence, "The World is My Parish."


This is a look at the Man who is coming Your way  ...  Singapore, Latvia, Russia, Italy, Ghana  ... All Nations, all kindred and tongues, He's coming  ...  You're already in his heart, you know; he prays for you every day, in the wee hours of the morning; his tears flow for you constantly  ...  You say, "But, he doesn't know me."  Oh, yes, he does; he dreams of you, prays for you, fasts for you; your Nation, your people are embedded in the intricate moving of his mind, spirit, and soul  ...  He's coming  ...  His hands cover the globe with prayer and tears; his heart embraces the world with longing and a groan, to reach every Nation, kindred and tongue with the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.  He was "chosen" to do it, called for it, anointed in it, and he's coming!

"... after I scream, and cry and beat on the door,
never grant my request if I cease to love you more."
(Kenneth Phillips .. Dec. 30 on twitter)


Tim Yerks and Pastor Kenneth Phillips


As long as Moses' hands were held up, the battle was won; when his arms fell, the battle had its losses.  We have a Man, whose arms we hold up, for the world battle!  The world is his parish! 

The strength and blessings of a Nation are directly related to its leader, so it is in the world of the Church and those who follow and are saints of the Lord Jesus Christ.  We have many pastors, teachers, prophets, and leaders, but there has to be One who brings it all together, a Moses for this generation, a Man who will climb the mountain, who will stand in the gap, who will bridge the divide, who will speak to the waters, who will Father the Nations  ...  who will "Feed my sheep" all over the world, who will gather the final harvest and lay it at the feet of Jesus Christ our Lord.  That man is Kenneth Phillips, and He's coming to you in every way possible until the "last one" is Won and the Lord shuts the door  ...



Outpouring of God's Spirit upon all flesh, Joel 2:28, baptism  in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, repentance,  godly worship, forming people to be fishers of men, bringing in the sheaves, training pastors, uniting the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, raising up ministers for the Lord, moving people to operate in their gifts, teaching fasting, prayer, and consecration  ...  preaching, Preaching, PREACHING the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to every inch of planet earth are his heartbeat, his tears, his Word to a globe that doesn't know it fully, but he's coming  ...  The Father of the Nations is coming  ...  The Regions are established and in place; the leaders have come together; the plan is laid out; the calling is secure; and the Father of the Nations is moving forward  and outward  ...  to the "dust" created by a loving God, who is not willing that ANY should be lost or perish.


The fire of the Holy Ghost is coming to you!  The Lord Jesus Christ and Pastor Kenneth Phillips walk hand in hand for that purpose.  The world is not his home, Pastor Kenneth Phillips is just passin' through, but he will leave his mark; he will reach all he can; his hands will pray over every soul he can find; his love will touch You while he's justa' passin' through  ...  It's a PASSION that burns in his soul day and night.  You ask, "How can a person love people he's never even met?"  It comes from the Father above, the One who died to set  the whole world free, the One who went to the cross and redeemed the world unto Himself, that where He is, we may be also.  He's ALIVE and coming back, but until then, He has one who fills the gap, stands in His stead, carries out His burden, and who has become His hands and feet in the earth  ...  Pastor Kenneth Phillips.
   

  

In the wee early night hours, when you wonder if God sees you, if He hears you, if He cares  ...  He does!  And, He sends His love through "chosen" ones in earth.  Rest assured; you're covered; there's a Man on his knees for You, praying for You, for Your Nation, for Your family, for You to feel God's love and His love.  Pastor Kenneth Phillips loves You, and so do we  ...  His love and passion for the hurting and lost all over the world have rubbed off on his flock, his congregation  ... that's what he does; his passion for the lost, the lonely, the Nations without a leader, the weary and hungry, is passed on to everyone who knows him  ...  and the world is loved more and more.


Am I loved?  Does someone care?  Will someone pray for me? 
yes! Yes! YES! 

Randy Phillips singing, "It Is Your Love"

"Come Away"



"My beloved spake, and said unto me,
Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away."
(Song of Solomon 2:10)




It's the hungering call of our Beloved, who longs for sweet nothings on moonlit Summer nights, as He finishes putting away the sun, flinging out the stars, and clearing the heavens for uninterrupted reflections of His love.  He is Jesus Christ, our Lord, the holder of our hearts, the lover of our souls, the One who whispers love phrases in our yearning waiting ears.  All He wants is some David's and some Mary Magdalene's to lavish Him with some worshipful words of fragrance to ride upon the gentle breezes He sent down to capture our love, and waft it like a lovesick poem before His longing nostrils in wait.  Oh, our Lord is a romantic at heart, because He loves His creation with an everlasting love.  He loves our songs sung to Him in the darkness of early morn, and He'll wake us, just to hear the voice of His beloved.  Those sleepy lilts of love we offer Him, each in our own unique way, rise to Him as a precious aroma of praise.  It is the sweetest of incense to the mighty God who is surrounded with Holy's, but it's lovelier from earth, because we're not yet risen and we still have a choice to   ...  "Come Away."


"The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their
fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me."
(Song of Solomon 2:13)

"Come Away With Me," He whispers through the galaxies of time, hoping for a lovesong from His long-awaited Bride.  He loves His creation more than we could ever comprehend, and the Book of Song of Solomon is about the love between God and His people.  Some view the Book as allegorical and Jewish interpreters favor this aspect and look upon it as Yahweh is the lover and the woman is Israel.  The New testament Church followers, reformers, and scholars saw it as the lover being the Bridegroom Jesus Christ and the woman as His Bride, the Church.  It can be applied either way, because the Church is the spiritual Israel; we have been grafted in, and we partake of all of the blessings of Abraham.  Hallelujah!


Why is it so illogical to think that the God of the universe could love us in such an intimate way?  He is a jealous God; we must have no other Gods before Him.  He loves us with an everlasting love, a complete and holy love, a love deeper than humans are capable of discerning, a love that caused Him to die for the creation He formed from the dust, a love that excites Him that He will return for us  ...  He will catch us away to dwell with Him forever  ...  O, Lord Jesus, we get it  ...  The "come away" is a precurser to the "catch away," because You long for us; You yearn for Your bride to just give You a foretaste  ...  Come away  ...



We serve a God who loves us with a Holy passion; He stands ready to hold us, comfort us, caress us, and touch us with His infinite mercy and tender care.  His sheep know His voice and we hear His coos in the midnight hours; we feel His arms around us in the storms of life; and we know when we can walk no further, He carries us, for always underneath are His everlasting arms.  There is no Savior beside Him, no other gods reign with Him; He is the only true One God and there is no other, Jesus Christ our Lord.  He never leaves us nor forsakes us; we are His beloved, formed from the "dust" of the earth, His creation, and He is our Creator, the One from whom all blessings flow.  We need not look any further; Jesus Christ is our God. 
  
"Never Alone" is our song in the darkness; never alone is the hand that dries our tears.  You care about our cares, Lord Jesus, and no prayer, no cry, is too small or insignificant.  "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."  (Hebrews 4:15)  You know what it is to hurt, to feel pain, to suffer ridicule, to be misunderstood, to feel so alone.  You know how we feel, Dear Lord, and You are close to the broken hearted and those of a contrite and humble spirit.  You are our Shepherd, and we are Your sheep; You carry us through the storms, wars, torments, and fears of this world. 

 
O, Yes, Lord, we reserve the wee hours of morning for our Beloved; we save all the sweetest lilts to sing to our lover in the silence of the late night; we break the box of extravagant perfumes, and we pour it out upon You in phrases of intimate ecstasy in loving heartfelt ardent worship; and we wait upon You Lord, as Your love flows back to us in billows of precious wonder, too magnificent and delicate for the likes of Your created human dust, for we tremble in Your presence as Your touch overwhelms our mortal earthly flesh.  We Come away  ...

O, Lord Jesus, we sense Your beckoning, Your loneliness for Your own creation, and we'll meet You where You are, in the place of Your longing, in Your arms of love   ...  We'll "Come Away."
