THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH
LESSON 1
Revelation tells of the millennial (thousand years) reign of Christ that follows His victory over Antichrist at Armageddon. After which Satan is released from the pit and makes a final war against Jesus. He is then cast into the lake of fire. Then there is a final resurrection of the dead.
When all of this is completed, then comes the final end of the way that earth exists today. Revelation 21:1 speaks of it in John’s revelation of Jesus and the end times. It reads, “And I saw the new (regenerated) heaven(s) and the new (transformed) earth. For the first heaven(s) and the first (present day) earth were passed away (not like they presently are) and there was no more sea.”
The apostle Peter had written about this thirty years before John’s prophetic revelation. In 2 Peter 3:10-12 it is written, “But the day of the Lord will come…in the which the heaven(s) shall pass away with a great noise (a big bang??), and the works (deeds) that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved (destroyed), what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation (conduct, living) and godliness, 12 looking… unto the coming day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved and the elements shall melt with fervent (intense) heat?
Peter’s prophecy describes the end of this age (the world as we know it) and John’s prophecy verifies it. It is also prophesied in the Old Testament. Psalm 102:25-26 says, “25 Of old (times) hast thou (Lord) laid the foundation (establish) of the earth. And the heavens are the works of thy hands 26 They shall perish (be undone, be void) but thou (Lord) shall endure.”
Isaiah 51:6 also says, “Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath. For the heavens shall vanish like smoke (dust) and the earth wax old like a garment. And (all) they that dwell therein shall die in like manner (as in a fiery smoke). But my salvation (Yshuw’ah) shall be forever…”
Peter then speaks hope and encouragement that we saints will have our place in all that is recreated new (fresh). 2 Peter 3:13, “Nevertheless we, according to His promise look for (forward to) new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
So, “according to His promise” what shall the new (refreshed, recreated) new earth or heavens mean for us, His faithful ones? We shall look at that tomorrow.

FAITH OR FEAR?
There was a story told that went like this, “Fear knocked on the door, faith answered, no one was there.” It registers truth my friends. You cannot have faith and fear at the same time.
II Timothy says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
The definition of fear in this verse is “timidity.” It comes from the Greek root word “deilos” which means faithless or fearful.
Timothy was young in his pastorship. Paul was reminding him that he should remember how through the “laying on of hands” (vs. 6) that he had received a gift from God. Paul wanted him to step out and not be fearful in using this gift.
He goes on to tell Timothy that God had given him “power” to do this. The Greek word for power is “dunamis” which means force, miraculous power, ability, strength. It was the same word “power” that Jesus told his disciples would be given them when the Holy Spirit came upon them at Pentecost. This power came down at Pentecost and continues to be given to each believer to enable the disciples and us to be a witness with boldness. This power enabled them to do great exploits and even walk into a lion’s den without fear. This power gives us the same ability to stand strong through battles and the darts that Satan throws at us.
The definition of sound mind is clear. It means to have a sober mind, clear of negative thoughts from Satan and self. It means to be able to think clearly without any doubt of who you are in Christ. It comes through renewing our mind by washing it with the water of the Word.
Fear dominates so many lives because they have not renewed their minds through the word of God. We must wear the helmet of salvation to ward off the attacks of Satan in our thought lives. We must never give in to fear because it will destroy you from the inside out.
Faith comes through hearing and meditating on the Word of God. This should be our “daily bread” that we need to feed our minds. It renews us and eliminates fear as we hear it and study it.
Living in fear or living in faith is a choice. As Paul told Timothy how to live, we should be listening to his advice as well and we will be fearless.

PROPHETIC WORD
AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS
I would say unto you today that you have withstood the test of the fires that I have allowed in your life. There were many times that you have wanted to quit, but you remained faithful even when it looked like all hope was gone. You felt the pain and anguish of the heat, but it was necessary for you to go through this heat to come forth as strong as steel. For many have not gone through the test, and they have fallen by the wayside. They did not yield to the testing for they fought against me saith the Lord. All that are in me will suffer many afflictions, but I will deliver those that trust me and have faith in my word to come through the test stronger than when they went into the testing. For there is an army rising up of the faithful ones that stood when others fell. There is an army rising up of faithful soldiers ready to receive their marching orders. For my children, there is a war on the horizon that will bring many into a place of fear, but you will not fear for you know that the battle belongs to me, and not you. You have seen my might when you had no might. You have seen my love when no one was there to love. You have seen my power when you felt that you were powerless. You have learned where your strength comes from and have determined to endure to the end. In this hour that is upon you now there will be a great shaking of faith, but you will come through this shaking as you trust me. Just as a soldier must go through military boot camp to learn how to use his offensive weapons, so you also have been in training for what is to come. Think not that the testing is the war. It is not the war. There is a war coming that will be fiercer than ever, yet those that have submitted to my military training through the testing and the trials will be valiant in this war. They shall rise up in my power and be used of me to bring many out of darkness and into my kingdom. Yes, there is war ahead. There will be great fear for many, but those that trust me will not walk in fear. They know the source of their strength is in me. Do not be surprised when the enemy attacks on your own land, for it will happen. It will come just as it did on that fateful day in 9/11. Many were caught off guard, but those that walked with me were prepared. So, my child, do not be surprised when this happens. Judgment must take place, but I will redeem my own from destruction. I will raise my banner up and there will be no lack of victory for those that trust me. I will be with those that trust me, but the fainthearted will fail the test. This is not the time for lack of faith. This is the time to stand firm and declare the word over yourself and over your family, for the battle shall be intense. Spend much time with me in my presence to hear your assignment for Satan will put traps before you. Do not listen to his lies or fall into his traps. The faithful ones will go forth and do great exploits, armed in my armor as champions saith the Lord.

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY
PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
9-14-2022
Stop allowing yourself to get uptight regarding what God has called you to do; As it could cause you to lose focus and totally get off course. This is something you must refrain from even when it looks as if you are “breaking in line” and trying to push you to the very back. Just know in your heart this will not happen; For what God put in YOU...Is for YOU and no one can steal your place, your plans or your dream. Only you can delay the plan, the place or the purpose of God for your life; And that’s only done by you becoming distracted and entirely missing God’s timing. Sure you may have an occasional delay; But a delay definitely does not mean that God calls it a denial. You can win at this challenge for God placed everything within you that you’ll need to succeed. Oh yes, you’re made of all the right stuff needed to complete the task at hand. All you have to do to accomplish it is to Refocus...Realign... Regroup...And then Refuse to Quit. So get your praise on, put your dancing shoes on; And then you begin to really praise God. It’s a fact those DISTRACTIONS nor the DELAYS are DENIALS; But they’re just another RUNG on the LADDER you’ve been CLIMBING...And you’re well on your way...UP to the top of your PURPOSE and your DREAM.

Beautiful Birds! HCC
The birds that fly on high,
They're smart as they can be.
They don’t have a map,
But God shows them where to be.
When Winter comes, they know to leave,
To find a warmer place.
And there they go, they're off again.
With feathers flying and so much grace.
They even find the time, a boyfriend here or there.
I’ll see them in my birdhouse,
With babies everywhere.
They tend their little ones,
Good mother’s, yes, they are.
Then it’s time for babes to go,
Feather’s fly, how far, how far!
Try and take the time, to watch the birds you see.
Their GPS is always working,
They fly for us, for us to see.
