Endtimes and Week of Prayer and Impartations

Prayer Week In Light of the Endtimes'


by

Adrian Yuen, Ph.D.

Aloha, Friends:

This Sunday begins PRAYER WEEK for His Highest Praise International. We are calling every church to pray and fast (different variations) throughout the week as led by the Holy Spirit.

There is no question in my mind that we need to pray especially in light of the endtimes.

For the last several weeks, I have been preaching on the endtimes which included the rapture, the Tribulation Period, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-20 indicate to us that Jesus will come back for His Bride . . . the dead in Christ will rise first and we who are alive and remain, believers and His Bride, will be caught up or snatched away to be with the Lord forever. This event which can happen at any time now (imminent) is known as the rapture (Latin word, rapto, to yank up). I Corinthians 15:51,52 state . . . IN A MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMP: FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND, AND THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE, AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED."

There are many good people who disagree either as to whether there is a rapture or not, or when will it occur (pre-Tribulation, mid-Tribulation, post-Tribulation), or who will go up and when . . . It is my position and the position of His Highest Praise, that as symbolic by the Church of Philadelphia in contrast to the lukewarm Church of Laodicea, that there will be believers who will be kept from the hour of temptation and thus taken from the earth before the Tribulation Period.

When Jesus was speaking to the seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3, He spoke to the Church of Philadelphia (Revelation 3:10) in which He promised that this body will be kept FROM the hour of temptation or the Time of the Tribulation. And while that body of believers, we call the Bride of Christ, goes up prior to the Tribulation Period, there is a part of the body called Laodicea that goes into the Triublation Period. In Revelation 3:14ff, the lukewarm body of Christ (Laodecia, rulership by the people) is vomited from the body of Christ and into the fire of the Tribulation Period.

So just as there will be a rapture of READY SAINTS from the earth, there will also be a RUPTURE of the lukewarm believers into the Tribulation Period.

Matthew 24:21 states, FOR THEN SHALL BE GREAT TRIBULATION SUCH AS WAS NOT SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD TO THIS TIME, NO, NOR EVER SHALL BE.

After the rapture, there will be a Tribulation Period estimated by some to be around seven years, the last half called THE GREAT TRIBULATION, during which time the MAN OF SIN or the Antichrist will be in charge as the NEW WORLD ORDER LEADER.

Revelation 3:10 states that the purpose of the Tribulation Period will be to "try them that dwell upon the earth.

At the end of the Great Tribulation, Jesus will come back and place His feet on the earth where He will bind Satan for 1,000 years, establish His Millenniel Kingdom, and rule the earth as the RIDER ON THE WHITE HORSE (Revelation 19), eventually leading to new heavens and earth.

So many details and events are not included here which are important (for later study), but we are to be ready for IN SUCH AN HOUR AS WE THINK NOT, BEHOLD HE COMETH.

Matthew 24:42 states, WATCH FOR WE KNOW NOT WHEN THE LORD WILL COME . . . The word "watch" means TO STAY AWAKE.

Such is the case for the body of Christ today.

There are people in the church today who are asleep . . . They are not discerning. They come with a form of Godliness but they deny the power thereof. There is no change, no discernment, no life of prayer, no power and faith, no victory and deliverance.

It is because we watch that WE PRAY.

This is why we are having a WEEK OF PRAYER AND IMPARTATION.

Beginning this Sunday evening at 6:00 p.m., we are having a prayer service by the laying on of hands. We will be praying for the sick, praying for the weary, praying for those who stand in great need of prayer. We want to WATCH or stay in tuned with God.

The week of prayer includes:

Monday at HHP Honolulu: Men's and Women's Ministries.

Tuesday at HHP Honolulu: Bible college students, students in post-secondary education, Sunday School teachers, etc.

Wednesday at HHP Honolulu: Destiny groups and mid-week prayer. . . also prayer at HHP Kaneohe . . .
