What No One is Telling You About the End Times

In the face of intensifying spiritual warfare and global chaos, believers must maintain a proper perspective rooted in truth, not fear or confusion. Many Christians feel backed into a corner, adopting a “doctrine of defeat” that assumes the church must shrink and ultimately be rescued from inevitable failure. However, the sources firmly assert that the biblical posture for the church in these last days is revival, not retreat.

The truth is that the Kingdom of God is expanding. The great commission will not fail, and the gospel will not lose its power.

The Absolute and Present Reign of Jesus Christ

The foundation of the church’s victorious posture rests entirely on the total authority and absolute power of Jesus Christ, which is not a future event but a present reality.

• Highest Honor Now: God elevated Jesus to the place of highest honor and gave Him the name above all other names. This authority is not eventual; verse 33 of Acts 2 clearly states that “now he is exalted” to the place of highest honor in heaven at God’s right hand.
• Total Sovereignty: No one has the power to undo what Jesus wants to do, and no decree can stop or even slow the agenda Christ has set in motion.
• Victory at the Cross: It was at the cross that the powers of darkness were disarmed. Jesus publicly shamed the spiritual rulers and authorities by His victory there. Christ must reign until He has destroyed every ruler and authority and power and humbled all His enemies beneath His feet.

The Paradox of Power: The Lion and the Lamb

The Bible reveals that Christ achieved reigning power through apparent weakness and suffering, setting the model for the church.

• The Slain Lamb: John’s vision in Revelation calls attention to the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, who has won the victory. Yet, immediately after, John sees a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered but was now standing and reigning.
• Victory Through Suffering: Jesus became the reigning Lion by first being the slaughtered Lamb. This mystery of the cross demonstrates that in suffering there is victory, in weakness there is strength, and in surrender we find triumph.
• The Kingdom Principle: The path to being a Lion requires going the way of the Lamb. Similarly, persecution and resistance are not the end of the church; the blood of the martyrs becomes the seed in the ground for revival and spreads the gospel.

The Expanding Kingdom and the Bound Strong Man

The Kingdom of God has been established, but it must now be expanded. This expansion is made possible because Christ has already dealt with the enemy.

• Binding the Enemy: Jesus used His authority to bind the strong man (Satan) so that the stronger man (Christ/the Holy Spirit) could plunder his goods.
• Plundering Hell: Satan has already been bound in the sense that the gospel can now advance and plunder hell. Every time someone turns to Christ and is rescued from the kingdom of darkness, the kingdom of hell has been plundered. This plundering occurs through evangelism, soul winning, church planting, and taking over the different spheres of influence in the world.
• From Seed to Tree: Jesus likened the Kingdom to a mustard seed, which begins in its smallest form but becomes the largest of garden plants. The Kingdom began small in one region (Jerusalem) and then spread to the ends of the earth. This proves the Kingdom trajectory is beginning small and ending big—growing in dominion and power, not shrinking back to a remnant.

Addressing the Illusion of Defeat

The modern “doctrine of defeat” teaches that the Kingdom will slowly shrink until the church escapes. This directly contradicts the reality that the enemy is on the defensive.

• Gates Don’t Move: Jesus declared that the gates of hell shall not prevail. Since gates don’t move, the enemy is attempting to defend what little influence he has left, while the Church is the one on the offensive.
• Satan’s Limited Influence: Satan is referred to as the “god of this world” who has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. This means he still has a subdomain or sub-influence only in the lives of those who live in the “state of disobedience” (rebellion, compromise, hardening their heart). Christ, however, has the overall reign.
• Enduring Difficult Times: While the sources acknowledge that difficult times, wickedness, and difficult people will appear in the last days, these do not signal defeat. The spread of wickedness “won’t get away with this for long,” and the difficult times do not end on a note of doom.
• The Unavoidable Harvest: The negative events are only the “first of the birth pains with more to come”. The end will not come immediately, but only after the good news about the kingdom has been preached throughout the whole world so that all nations will hear it. The harvest is great; we just need workers.

The Great Commission and the Victorious Church

Because Christ has been given all authority in heaven and on earth (past tense, a present reality), the church is commanded to act.

• Winning Nations: The mission is to go and make disciples of all the nations. The nations are Christ’s inheritance. Believers are called to win regions, cities, and nations with the mindset of dominion and power.
• Rapture of the Victorious: While the rapture of the church is believed, the sources reject the idea of the “rapture of the defeated church,” emphasizing the rapture of the victorious church.
• A Call to Work: The Kingdom is currently expanding in dominion and power. Believers are urged to get to work, operating with boldness and faith. The final result is that Christ will return victorious, having fully destroyed all enemies, with His eternal rule never to be destroyed.

Join the Expansion: This rapidly growing ministry seeks partners to help spread the victorious gospel globally through media, events, and church planting. Individuals are challenged to give in proportion to where they are, whether seeking a financial miracle or blessed with abundance, to help fight for the soul of this generation.
