"FREE!"


"If the Son therefore shall make you free,
ye shall be free indeed."
(John 8:36)

Have you ever felt FREE, clean, pure, innocent, with no guilt or
shame, lurking in the recesses of your soul?
Have you ever felt as light as a feather, delivered from sin, in a
state of beauty, pure in spirit, and completely whole?
Do you know what it's like to lay your head on the pillow with no
tears of regret, but only a smile of peace and joy?
Have you ever been loved, really loved, in a way that you feel so
secure; it's real and tangible, and not just a ploy?
Have you felt the brush of angels' wings, the kiss in the moonlight,
and the whisper of a Savior, telling you His love?
Has peace like a river ever flooded your soul, lifted your spirit, and
thrilled you like the sight of a soft feathery dove?
Can you remember ever feeling safe, underneath the arms of One
who cares, protects, and tends to your needs?
Have you ever repented, been washed in the blood of the Lamb,
filled with God's Spirit, and forgiven for misdeeds?
Do you know the joy of speaking in a heavenly language, and then 
 soaring through the heavens in Spirit and in truth?
Have you ever soaked your mind with the Holy Bible, and felt the 
 wonders of the Word take you back to your youth?
Won't you come now to the Lord, give Him your heart, and let Him 
cleanse and make you over, from the ashes of Sin?
Don't you know you'll fly like an Eagle; you'll feel free from your 
heavy hard life burdens, and forever you'll win?
Have you heard that eternity is forever; it's a life back in Eden with
 the Holy lover of your soul, in a mansion untold?
Can you even imagine clear golden streets, walls of jasper, gates of
     pearl, and an everflowing River of Life to behold?
Doesn't your heart desire to know Him, the Lord of Lords and King
 of Kings, who watches over you while you sleep?
Don't you know He longs for you to come to Him, to live for Him,  
 and for this strong desire, He ever continually weeps?
Do you know that your name is written in His palms, His blood was
shed for you; and yes, He died and rose again for You?
Does the world offer you peace, the love of a shepherd, and a soft 
rain of joy that falls, like sprinkles of morning dew?
Don't you know that Jesus Christ will never give up on you; He will
love you, and He follows you, from Sea to shining Sea?
Why would He be so diligent for someone like me, you ask, and the
answer wisps by like a breeze  ...  to set me "FREE!"

"Equipping the Saints"


"For the perfecting  of the saints, for the work
of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."
(Ephesians 4:12)


The Lord Jesus Christ spent most of His time with His apostles.  Why?  He was teaching them, pouring himself into them, feeding them, preparing them, molding them, and anointing them to carry on after His death and resurrection.  He knew these, He had chosen, would be His hands, His voice, and His feet in the earth for the purpose of "Equipping the Saints."  


The Lord was passing on His golden character, His humility, His impetus of love for those He would soon die for, and he wanted to make sure they learned these lessons well, so He washed the apostles' feet.  He taught them how to pray over people for healing, how to cast out devils, how to minister, and most of all, how to pray.  He emptied Himself into these men for the day when He would no longer be with them physically.  They knew not what all the Lord Jesus Christ would suffer, nor did they understand when He spoke of not always being with them, but they sensed this was no ordinary man, and they sensed He was about to accomplish an amazing and extraordinary thing beyond healings and miracles, but they knew not the extent of Christ's suffering soon to come.

 
Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, died on the cross, and in three days, He rose again!  He IS risen and alive forevermore, soon to come and gather His Church in a meeting in the air, the Rapture of the Church, His bride.  But, we're not just sitting around waiting for the sound of the trumpet; we have a mandate to love the lost, heal the sick, bring the world to repentance, baptize in His name, and lay hands on people for the infilling of the Holy Ghost.  This requires discipling, teaching, "equipping," and training the Saints to come off of the milk and eat the meat, so to speak, in preparation to harvest the world.  Why?  Because Jesus Christ is not willing that ANY be lost or perish!

PromiseLand Church has its own "Dream Team" to accomplish the mandate handed down from the Lord Jesus Christ to His present day Church.  They have come together in one cohesive, visionary, anointed, New Church Order format to "equip" the Saints to do the work of their ministries, and become fishers of men.  Each week, PromiseLand will bring these powerful anointed Ministers, at different times, to preach, teach, prophesy, anoint, and mold the body of Christ into a unified powerful working army to win the world, and teach others to win the world, for our Lord Jesus Christ.  All over the world, by streaming, the body of Christ will be strengthened, prepared, illuminated, and anointed to go forth in their ministries, in their individual talents and gifts, to lead people to the Alpha and Omega, the King of Kings, the Savior of the world!


                                              


We are the army of the Lord, and we've got a big job to do; it requires strong leadership, which we have, and a plan, which we have; it's called "Rules for Refuge."  You must be equipped in this hour.   Please be sure to contact someone at  promiselandchurch.net to get a copy, and we're going forth, armed and ready to win this war.  You say, "War, what war?"  It's a battle for the souls of men, and it's fierce because the devil knows he has but a short time.  But, Isaiah 52:10 set him straight; it says, "The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God."  Says it all, doesn't it?  We've read the back of the book and WE WIN!



We are not alone in this fight; we have innumerable angels all around, and they're waging war in the heavenlies as we speak.  Be assured, Almighty God does NOT lose, ever!  We shall come forth victorious, strong, powerful, and bringing in the sheaves with us  ...  And, it's all because we have The Dream Team moving in authority and power, "Equipping the Saints," with vision to win the world!

"Strangers In The Night"






"The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away
from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap."
(Isaiah 17:1)


The dispensation of Grace and endtime Prophecy  ...  They're "Strangers In The Night."  The Night?  Don't you think it's dark?  The wars, Syria, the conditions around the world, the increase of inclement weather, dire predictions about the end, and the move of God in every Nation tell us that something is going on.  What is it?  The Word of God and destiny have met each other, and Grace is about to fade into the darkness as the Big One hits and the Rapture occurs, leaving behind the Tribulation Period with a whole lot of people scared and wishing again for Grace.


You say, "What kind of God would let all this happen?"  The kind of God who loves YOU utterly!  Huh?  He is not willing that ANY be lost or perish; every person must walk the road of the cross.  Jesus Christ paid it all that we might partake of newness of life, living waters from springs that never run dry, beauty and glory in paradise forever.  I'm saying that again; He is not willing that ANY human, in any country, in any Nation, be lost or perish, because the Bible says it.  But, we should know that from the very beginning, we were informed that He is Holy, and He wants us to be Holy.  SIN and a Holy God will NEVER coexist, NEVER.  So, the Holy Bible has predicted and prophesied what would happen to those who loved their pleasures more than God, who loved SIN more than holiness, who refused to turn from their wicked ways and live in peace, love, and walk holy before Him. 

No one will have a case when they stand before Him, and make no mistake, every human being will stand before the mighty God, the Holy One of Israel, and be judged.  No excuse will hold water, because the Holy Bible told us all what we must do to be saved, told us all the sequence of events, told us all what will happen in the great and terrible Tribulation period, when God judges the ungodly.  What can we do?  Pray, repent of our sins with sincerity and sorrow, be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and be filled with the Holy Ghost and speak with tongues as His Spirit gives the utterance.

Damascus

Why so much destruction, war, and desolation?  The Bible tells us why:  "Then at last the people will think of their Creator and have respect for the Holy One of Israel. They will no longer ask their idols for help or worship what their own hands have made. They will never again bow down to their Asherah poles or burn incense on the altars they built.” Isaiah 17:7-8 (NLT)  It's all about bringing people to God, and back to God.  When Almighty God says He is not willing that any be lost; He means it!  That means our Creator will do and allow whatever is necessary to stir, move, draw, and reach people's hearts for Him.  We must put this in perspective  ...  time in earth is approximately 70 to 80 years generally, but time in eternity, which is very real and just as real as earth, is forever!  If something must happen in a small space of time to assure salvation, peace and love forever, it would be wise to do it, wouldn't it?  God looks at time much differently than we do; WE are limited to earth and now; He is not!


We, in America, along with other Christians everywhere, pray for the people of Lebanon, Syria, Israel, and the world, for that matter.  Does God care, even though Prophecy speaks of such turmoil, war, and terror?  Oh, Yes, He longs to hold every soul in His arms, wipe the tears away, heal their hurts and wounds, and set them free by His Blood, His Word and His Name.  It's not too late; there's still a glimpse of daylight Grace before the utter darkness.  Won't you come to the Lord Jesus Christ and give your heart to Him?  Even if war is all around you, He can give you peace within, protect you, send His angels to watch over you and lead you to safety.  He loves You! 
 



"Will he hear my prayers?" you ask.  Yes. Anyone, anywhere, who calls out to Him to give Him their hearts, to worship Him in Spirit and in truth, He hears them, and comes to them in Spirit.  This old world is shaking and reeling under the pressure of endtime Prophecy, the ending of Grace and the beginning of judgment, the endtime Revival to gather all into the fold who will come, and the anticipation of the sound of the trumpet, when we shall meet the Lord in the air in the Rapture, or catching away, of the Bride of Christ to be with Him forever.

Depiction of the Lord Jesus Christ

Biblical Prophecy is not meant to hurt us, but to stir us, shake us, and awaken us to the "time" in which we are living.  Over 600 million people have been filled with the Holy Ghost, or Holy Spirit worldwide; people are being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ every day; people are giving their hearts to the Lord in great numbers in every Nation; WHY?  He's coming back!  The Lord Jesus Christ said He will come back; He said He will judge the world; He said He will make a way of escape for the righteous before He pours out the Tribulation judgment, and He will.  When Jesus Christ enters your heart, you will feel Him, sense His presence, know His love and protection, and He will never leave you nor forsake you! 

Grace and Prophecy, are "Strangers In The Night," but, grab onto Grace while there's still a sliver of light.  Grace says no matter what you have done, if you ask for the Lord's forgiveness, it will be done.  Grace is the time when God is patient and longsuffering, but it's coming to an end.  He's reaching out to You, won't you take His hands and give Him your heart?  He loves You!

"I Saw!"



"And I turned to see the voice that spake with me.
And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks."
(Revelation 1:12)

"The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand,
and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the
 seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou
sawest are the seven churches."
(Revelation 1:20)


The seven stars or angels are the Pastors of the seven churches, which John saw.  We currently live in the Laodicean church age, which was the seventh church listed in the Book of Revelation.  This is what Jesus said regarding the Laodicean church:

"I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.    So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.   Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne."
(Revelation 3:15-21)


Laodicean Church Age - Christians asleep


We are living in the last  Age for the Church; it is up to us, the Christians of the Laodicean Church age.  What does Jesus say to this age?  Repent!  Why?  Because, He said as many as He loves, He chastens and rebukes.  We must awaken to the fact that we are the "last," and if it is to be, it's up to you and me!  We must make sure the world hears the voice of the Lord, knocking, and lets Him in.  He is not willing that ANY be lost or perish.  You say, That's something you say all the time."  Uh Huh, and I'm gonna' keep saying it until the whole world gets it!  The Lord Jesus Christ is the lover of your soul; let Him in, won't you?


It is a surrender of the heart, soul, mind and spirit to the One who gave His life for you, the One who is coming toward you now, the One who wants to give you joy unspeakable and full of glory  ...  the Holy Ghost and fire.  It is the most beautiful, incredible thing that could ever happen in your life  ... to be filled with the Holy Spirit of Almighty God.  It will strengthen you, protect you, comfort you, and guide you into all truth.  After you repent of your sins (we all have to do it), ask Jesus to fill you with His Spirit, and you will speak in a language you have never learned as His Spirit gives you the utterance.   


Even though we happen to be living in the "luke warm" Church Age; not all Churches are luke warm.  Oh, No!  Some are on fire with power, miracles, signs, and wonders of God.  Some make you leap from the first note played; some lay hands on you and you are healed; some pray for you through the virtual church online and you rise to newness of life; some, like PromiseLand Church are on fire for God, and moving with the cloud by day and the fire by night, dimension after dimension, angels and incense and heavenly choirs, preaching from the portals of the throne, and ministers everywhere  ...  The Lord is raising an army, a Holy Ghost team of warriors to cover the earth by every means possible, on foot, on the internet, through blogs, through virtual church, tracts, tv, films  ...  What?  This last Church is a thundering powerful Church, marching to the beat of the endtimes with swords flaming and power wielding!

The last Church will be able to say it; the last Church will do it; the last Church will bear record of it  ...  What?  The greatest outpouring of the Holy Ghost ever seen, the most powerful moves of God ever witnessed; the most profound of miracles, signs and wonders ever manifested  ...  and the last Church will say those words, "I Saw!"
