We need the mind of Christ, be instant in season. That power is the ability to conquer death, it’s healing us. We believed through their word. Two armies, the early and latter rain churches. The Shulamite woman is a type of Christ’s true church. The queens, concubines and virgins are a type of the denominations and sects of all the manmade churches. Armies → two armies, early and latter church. Jesus gave the disciples authority before the day of Pentecost. The Lord gives gifts to men, even those who are in rebellion and will not accept His truths. Unbelief is the real enemy of powerful works. The Father and Jesus operate in us through the Spirit. Judgement is coming.
These are notes from our Friday study 1/17/2020.
2Ti 4:1-5 KJV I charge thee therefore before God, and
the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing
and his kingdom; (2) Preach the word; be instant in season*,
out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
(3) For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears; (4) And they shall turn away their ears
from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (5) But watch thou
in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full
proof of thy ministry.
2Ti 4:3-5 CLV For the
era will be when they will not |tolerate~ •|sound teaching, but, •their hearing
being tickled~, they will |heap up for themselves teachers in accord with
•their own desires, (4) and, indeed, they will be turning •their
hearing away from the truth, yet will be |turned~ aside onto •myths. (5)
Yet you/ be |sober in all things; suffer evil as an ideal soldier of
Christ Jesus; do the work of an evangelist; fully discharge your •service.

administrations, but the same Lord. (6) And there are diversities
of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. (7)

to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds
of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: (11) But all
these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally
as he will. (12) For as the body is one, and hath many members, and
all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to
drink into one Spirit.

in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted
above measure. (8) For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that
it might depart from me. (9) And he said unto me, My grace is
sufficient for thee: for my strength
is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in
my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (10)
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in
persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I
strong. (11) I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me:
for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very
chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. (12) Truly the signs of an
apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty
deeds. (13) For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other
churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this
wrong.
2Th 1:3-12 KJV We are bound to thank God always for
you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and

your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye
endure: (5) Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of
God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also
suffer: (6) Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense
tribulation to them that trouble you; (7) And to you who are
troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with
his mighty angels,
(8) In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and
that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: (9) Who shall be
punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from
the glory of his power; (10) When he shall come to be glorified in
his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony
among you was believed) in that day. (11) Wherefore also we pray
always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil
all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: (12) That the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according
to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

ministers a flaming fire:

deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which
ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the

his wheels as burning fire. (10) A fiery stream issued and came
forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand
times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment
was set, and the books were opened. (11) I beheld then because of
the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast
was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
(12) As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion
taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
(13) I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of
man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they
brought him near before him. (14) And there was given him dominion,
and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve
him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and
his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

time of the end.
