Rick Joyner Offers Prophetic Instruction in the Midst of Chaos
Prophet Rick Joyner issued a clarion call via social media as terrorism ransacked the globe.
The issue on his heart, however, was not the increasing violence outside the United States. Rather, the internal political strife affected the prophet:
Last night I had the choice of watching the DNC, or the stars from the beach I’m at. I chose the stars, and from the news this morning, I chose well. I love to just look at them and ponder how well God runs everything. When you have eternity you can really plan well. Of course, when you’re God you can plan just as well in a second if you choose to, but He seems to have a special place for rest. We’re even told in the book of Hebrews that entering the Promised Land is equated with entering His rest.
Man was created at the end of the sixth day, so man’s first day was the day God rested from His works. So for many to have fellowship with God he had to immediately enter His rest. We’re promised that all things work together for good for those who love God, and are called according to His purpose. In His universe what looks like a catastrophe even bigger than Hillary’s emails, like a galaxy colliding with another galaxy, turns out to be a brilliant fix for something else that’s going to happen in another couple of million years.
When I used to fly jets I especially loved flying above forty-thousand feet over the northeast. You could see from Washington to New York and it looked like a galaxy. All of the stuff happening as I looked down, the violent crimes, the relationship problems, the drama, millions of them all happening as I looked down, all looked so peaceful from where I was. It was a matter of perspective.
The Lord is not sitting on His throne wringing His hands over who is going to be elected, or what the stock market is going to do today. In fact, it says in Psalm Two that He sits in the heavens and laughs. That does not mean that He’s laughing at our problems. in fact we are told that He also feels our pain, but He has a perspective of not only altitude, but of eternity. He knows it is all going to get fixed in the end.
We are told in Ephesians that we Christians are supposed to be sitting in the heavenly places with Christ. This has several implications, but one thing it certainly means is that we are supposed to view things from His perspective, which is high above the earth. We are not called to look at eternity though a temporary perspective, but we are supposed to look at the temporary from an eternal perspective. This can change everything we look at, and also help us see solutions to the temporary that won’t cause us bigger problems down the road. I’m just sayin…
Amen!
