Did the Region of Philadelphia Begin in Africa in the 1990's?

As most of you know, that have followed my posts, I have shared the knowledge of the Government of Christ as it has been revealed to me through the Holy Spirit. I have shared that this knowledge is available to all and as the days continue I have observed that the Holy Spirit is teaching this knowledge to more of His workers throughout the Kingdom. The Holy Spirit revealed that this Kingdom that was established by Jesus before the creation event, was carried upon the shoulders of our Lord when He made His appearance. The Lord's Harbinger, John the Baptist, prepared the way of the Lord by preaching to the Nation of Israel to Repent, For the Kingdom of Heaven was at hand. When Jesus arrived He preached the same message. When Jesus sent the disciples out to evangelize throughout Israel, He charged them to preach the same message. I have shared that our misunderstanding about the church has led us to a lack of knowledge which has rendered the body of believers into a powerless state. Knowledge is power. Jesus taught his disciples all the knowledge about the kingdom or His government for 3 1/2 years while He was here with them. These disciples/believers set the known world ablaze with the knowledge of truths that they shared. What happened?

Religious organizers entered the body of believers and truth was watered down. The preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom of heaven ceased. Understanding became lost to the believers and small glimpses of the kingdom would be shared throughout time. What Jesus began with the disciples, He prophetically stated would be what ushers in the end. The End Time Harvest! From the beginning, the skeptics would make fun of the believers calling them the "faith people". These believers taught that Jesus told them anything that you ask the Father in the Name of Jesus, not doubting in your heart, you would receive that which you asked for. They would preach to others that access to the kingdom of heaven was given through the blood sacrifice of the Messiah Jesus. They taught, that no longer, was going to a temple and offering the blood of animals sufficient to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, which all Jewish people understood. The windows of heaven are open to those who believe and walk in the faith of the Lord Jesus.

Understand, that there is a line drawn in the sand by the Lord. There is no other way to the Father except through Jesus. There is no other one world government except the government of Christ. As the seconds of time tick away, we are rushing towards a final showdown between the Messiah and the devil. The devil impassioned the lust of the world by offering that which he does not have, world rule. He directly opposes the government of Christ with his own 10 regional government. I have also taught that the term church which was first used by our Lord is a term that is not completely translated. Strong's translates it as a religious congregation. The term church was first used by Rome and it is a form of government. Jesus said that on this rock I will build my church or government. That rock foundation of understanding was that Jesus was not only the Messiah but also the Son of the Living God. Access to this government is through your faith in that understanding. Jesus shared also that the gates of hell would not prevail against His church/government. In the book of revelation John gave us this prophecy for the church from the Lord.  Rev 1:20  the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches. 

The Lord said the representation of the seven lampstands were the 7 churches or governments. We know through study that there were more religious assemblies other than the 7 listed. Through careful study and prayer and by the merciful Lord unlocking the meaning of these mysteries that have been sealed until this time, we are able to understand that the messages delivered were twofold in it's deliverance. One for the time then and for the time today. Of course, I say today, but I am loosely referencing that as to this age. Secrets for a time were sealed from our understanding, now to be shouted with a glorious shout that the Kingdom of Heaven has come to you today. We are representatives of this most glorious kingdom and recipients of it's wonderful blessings. Oh what glorious things God has done through His Son Jesus. A 7 regional government that is protected by 7 regional Angelic hosts that oversee and do the bidding of the Holy Spirit. The very first assignment of the Holy Spirit was to take the 7 regional government of Christ to the gates of hell.

This demonic kingdom was identified to us before it physically was manifested in the Earth, the Ottoman Empire. The Government of Christ stood at the gates and proclaimed victory and this same rock Daniel prophesied would destroy this 10 regional government in the day and age we live in!(Dan 2:34) I hear folks say well we will be raptured out by then. Understand, that the bible tells us that the Lord will return WITH his saints! We will be partakers of this wonderful victory. 

Before, I get ahead of myself and start doing the victory dance let's complete this thought process. Jacob slept in a place where he only had a rock for a pillow. While there he had a vision of a ladder coming down from heaven and Angels going up and down the ladder. He witnessed the 7 Angels of the 7 regional government of Christ. Through the blessing from Issac, Jacob inherited the kingdom of heaven. That government was assigned to Israel until Jesus established a new covenant. The 7 regional government of Christ, the kingdom of heaven, was expanded in a world wide campaign. Jesus declared it in John 3:16. Jesus symbolically ended the temple based covenant Mark 11:14. Jesus had searched every synagogue for 3 1/2 years looking for a temple doing the works of His Father and found none.

The fig tree had branches full of luscious green leaves, but bore no fruit. This would not be the case for long for a new campaign of recruitment was occurring. The kingdom and all of the blessings in it were available to those that believe. No longer would righteousness be available to a select few. No longer would salvation be for only a people who declared stay away from me for I am holier than you. The cry of the Kingdom was there is salvation to all who believe, there is healing to all who believe, there is prosperity to all who believe. Praise God we have been redeemed through the Son of the Living God and He has brought the reign of His Kingdom with Him. I started this blog with a question. Did the region of Philadelphia begin it's work in Africa in the 1990's? Jesus spoke of the regions one by one. Why? Though we are all in one Kingdom we are in different regions. Each region has a demonic force that is opposing that particular region. As in Daniel, the Lord battled with the Prince of Persia coming and going. Michael the Regional Angel withstood this demonic prince in each encounter. We can assist our regional angels with prayer and working within the knowledge given us. One of great interest to me is the region of Philadelphia. Why is it so important? I believe this region is where the harvest begins and in turn will affect every other region respectfully. 

Reinhard Bonnke was born into this world in 1940. A German by birth, heeded the call of the Lord when he was 10 years old. He began his ministry in 1967 in Africa. I listened to Reinhard give his testimony recalling that he began preaching to 5 people. He said he was so ashamed. He continued preaching and had an overseas visitor that witnessed him preaching to 50 people. Still ashamed of the small numbers Reinhard continued preaching. He said the Lord spoke to him to rent a stadium, so he rented a stadium. 10,000 people showed up. Why? The Holy Spirit of God called these people. Reinhard said he continued doing the same thing and then 30,000 people showed up, then 50,000 people and finally 70,000 people showed up in one service. He said he told his wife that I think this is God's maximum. He said the Holy Spirit whispered into his ear, God has no maximum! Crowds of millions today fill the lands at a Reinhard meeting in Africa. Is it because Reinhard is such a great preacher? Though I love to hear Reinhard speak, Reinhard would be the first to tell you that God is the reason. Reinhard can go into another country and not get the numbers of attendance that he has witnessed in Africa. Why? The region of Philadelphia is in Africa. One thing that I was researching about the Reinhard campaigns, is that in 1991 Reinhard was a victim of an Islamic attack. Muslims created false stories about Reinhard's message and 8,000 young men began a massive outbreak of riots in the city of Nigeria. After 9 years of being blocked from Nigeria, in 2000 Reinhard was able to return. Reinhard states that the Lord opened a door that no man could open. I found that statement to be interesting and exciting at the same time. No one in this time period, that we are living in, has ever witnessed the miraculous amount of souls that have been saved, as what is happening in Africa. This is truly a harvest of monumental proportions. In Lagos Africa,after a 6 day campaign Reinhard received over 3.4 million decision cards for salvation. His biggest reception of decision cards for a single service came this year when he received over 2 million decision cards for Jesus. Now, what did Jesus say about the region of Philadelphia? 

Rev 3:8  I know your works. Behold, I have given before you an open door, and no one can shut it. For you have a little strength and have kept My Word and have not denied My name. Not to puff anyone up by any means, but could Reinhard's ministry be the one that the Lord was talking about? He began preaching to how many people? He was not the choice of his denomination. No one came to him and appointed Reinhard to anything. He just kept the the promise of the Word that the Holy Spirit spoke to him when he was 10 years old. I am going to send you to Africa and there you will preach! Wow! Why have I brought all this up? Because, I know that this will be a world wide harvest. It may have started in Africa but it ends when the harvest covers the world. Why do I say that? Mat 24:14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in all the world as a witness to all nations. And then the end shall come. What do we as believers need to do in order to seem the same results? First repent! Acknowledge the Government of Christ. Start walking in the Government with all of it's blessings. Then Give! Freely you have received, freely give. In the United States we have corrupted the knowledge of God by teaching half truths and programs rather than teaching the kingdom. Paul stated in Ephesians,

Eph 6:19  And pray for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 

Eph 6:20  for which I am an ambassador in bonds; so that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. As Paul, we also are Ambassadors of the government of Christ. The message of the Kingdom is not an argument, but a message of truth. Don't be sidetracked by the the devil trying to argue the truth, just declare it. Also, the Lord said about our region that we would be (Paraphrasing) encumbered with trying to defend the Name of Jesus. We would be on the lookout for the false preachers and teachers so much that we would in effect lose ourselves and our relationship with the Lord in this pursuit. We would be working so hard and have so many programs that we forget what we have been called to do. To be the witness to the nation. When we begin listening to the Holy Spirit and start to treasure His guidance more than our programs or confessed knowledge, we will start to see a move of God in our midst. Friend, it starts with you and me. I have done things by the direction of the Holy Spirit that not only did others question, but inwardly so did I. I wondered to myself am I really hearing the Lord?

But, like a child, I held fast to His word. That is an exact formula set by Reinhard Bonnke. A level of success was tied to it by the words of Jesus. 

Mat 18:3  and said, Truly I say to you, Unless you are converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven. 

We must, must, must, be trusting like a little child. Like so many of you, I remember encouraging my little one to jump into my arms and I would catch them. Jump, Daddy will catch you. They didn't understand why. They only knew the trust that they had in their father. Friend, We have a heavenly Father, that begs us to just jump. Jump into the arms of your Father. It begins with that decision today. If you haven't made Jesus your Lord and received His salvation to a Heavenly Kingdom, I encourage you to do so today. With your simple decision of I do, you will enter into a Kingdom that has everything you need. You don't have to be lost no more, you don't have to be sick no more, you

 don't have to be poor no more. Your Father owns everything. There is no lack in His kingdom. You don't have to be bound no more by the enemy. That sin, that thing, that has enslaved you will be broken by your childlike decision of faith in Jesus today. As you walk in the Kingdom you will see that you have access to a world of abundance that has been delivered to you by the finished work that Jesus performed on an old rugged cross at Calvary's hill. You have been redeemed. Start receiving and then start giving. Peter walked into a synagogue and didn't have 2 pennies to rub together. In the worlds eye, he was one broke dude. A paralyzed beggar asked for Peter to give him some money. Peter replied, I don't have any silver or gold, but I got something better. He grabbed that beggar by the wrist and commanded him to rise up! Walk in the name of Jesus. That name was his access to the kingdom's treasure. That name is our access to the kingdom's treasures. Jesus said don't store up you treasures in the world where moth and rust can destroy, store it in the kingdom of heaven. If Jesus supplies all your needs then what treasure do you have that heaven will rejoice over? Heb 12:2  looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right of the throne of God. As Jesus did heaven rejoices over the souls of the lost. Your mortal hands can have a work in the eternal kingdom of God. But you have to become a soul winner. Declare today I am the Lord's and He is mine. Rejoice! The Kingdom of Heaven has come to you today!
