Luk 1:20 And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.”
There is a particular time for the fulfilment of each prophesy. The angel assured Zechariah that whether you believe it or not, the prophecy will be fulfilled in its time.
God speaks to His children in various ways and reveals His plans. He goes on speaking to His children and to His Church. He spoke in the past. He is speaking now and He will speak in future also because Church belongs to Jesus Christ.
Church is the Bride of Jesus Christ. No one else has any claim over the Church of Jesus Christ except Jesus Christ because He has purchased it with His own blood.
All through the years the adversary has made attempts to snatch away Jesus Christ’s Church and His children from Him. Today the enemy’s deception is in mixing the world with the Church, the spiritual with the material. We see a tendency today that anyone can use the name of Jesus Christ, do miracles like healing, Deliverance, etc in order to gather a crowd for themselves in the name of Jesus Christ and use this crowd for making a name for themselves, or a livelihood for themselves, to start a business, to expand their business or to acquire property etc. This is the way satan has deceived the Church today.
Satan has hijacked many of the servants of God and made them believe that, Jesus Christ has given them authority and even power of Attorney to keep a group of people under their custody and make them dance according to their whims and fancies. They tried to gather a group of people by hook or crook, (the believers) and keep them like slaves under different organizations and name them “Churches”.
AOJ was given the duty of delivering these captives from their imprisonments.
Luk 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed…
These captives are enslaved under the various religious organizations.
Long ago, even from 1950s, the Lord started speaking against these prisons and to AOJ He gave the visions & revelations that He is going to liberate people of India from this slavery.
When the revelation of the birth of John the Baptist (the forerunner of Jesus Christ) was announced on the earth his father, Zechariah who should own this message and pave the way for its execution on the earth, did not accept it. It was such a great thrilling message which carried a cluster of blessings to the earth not only to Zechariah personally but to the whole earth.
- “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard Lk 1:13
- your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son
- And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth Lk 1:14
- He will be great before the Lord Lk 1:15
- he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. Lk 1:15
- And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God Lk 1:16
- He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.” Luk 1:17
How gladly he should have accepted this message! Instead this Chief priest could not accept this message which was given from heaven and asked for a sign
Luk 1:18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this?
In other words He was asking for a sign.
The Lord gave the very sign of shutting his mouth .
Dear AOJ soldiers,
After about 2000 years of this incident, again we are given such a message!
The Message, the Good News of the birth of a forerunner for Jesus Christ’s Second Coming.
The Message about the birth of a “Model Church” .
The Church which is the Body of Jesus Christ in which He really dwells, the Church which is active and lively ! A Church which is fully alive where Holy Spirit is present 24 hours.
Just like Zechariah, the Chief priests of the Christian organizations could not accept this message. So the Lord made them silent until the reality took place on earth. The Church Leaders became silent spectators of this great pandemic Covid 19, havoc which brought the institutional Churches to a complete closure.
Luk 1:21-23 And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering at his delay in the temple. And when he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he kept making signs to them and remained mute.
The whole world was waiting for the Church to have an answer for this pandemic. But it remained silent.
But the very birth of John the Baptist, opened his mouth.
The birth of “House Church” (Troop Churches) is the assurance the Lord is giving to commence the era of the early Christian Church.
This is a clear sign of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to this earth.
John the Baptist was the forerunner for the first coming of Jesus Christ!
Troop Churches is the forerunner for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ!
Let’s take it to the whole world!
