Responses of the Church to God's End-Time Judgments

Offense (fear, confusion, anger) will be the first reaction of believers with an unrenewed mind. These judgment events are offensive to the natural mind without the light of the Spirit. God will use the least severe means to reach the greatest number of people at the deepest level of love without violating anyone’s free will. God’s judgments remove all that hinders love.

6 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me. (Mt. 11:6)

Understanding will be given by the Holy Spirit to the end-time Church.

20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart. In the latter days you will understand it perfectly. (Jer. 23:20)

Partnering with Jesus in intercession to release His judgments (Rev. 8:3-5).

Forerunners are messengers who proclaim “now” what the Holy Spirit is soon to emphasize in a universal way. They are one short step ahead of what the Spirit is about to openly release. By gaining understanding of these judgments, we can function as forerunners who prepare many.
