The End Time Church

Build with Hari Rao

In this teaching Prophet Hari brings insights about what the Lord is requiring for the end time Church.

The mandate which has been entrusted to Prophet Hari is to get this generation ready to meet Jesus - that is the mission and vision of his ministry. When the Lord spoke to him, He impressed on his heart that 50% of the Church was not ready for His coming. Our assignment is to prepare an end time army of generals of God. The Lord Jesus is not just coming back for a forgiven Church but one that is an accurate reflection and representation of Him.

This brings us to the question, what does a generation that's ready look like, and how do we know that we are ready?

In the book of Matthew 25:1-13, we read in the parable of the banquet of the bridegroom, there were two groups of bridesmaids, one that took lamps without oil and the other that brought lamps with oil. Similarly, at the coming of the Lord there will be two groups: one that looks ready but is not ready. They had the oil but are no longer in possession of it. They are a lukewarm and inferior group, having a form of godliness but without power. Whereas the other group is ready; they have come prepared with the oil. They are the glorious, remnant Church operating in the full power and glory that God has bestowed upon them.

Both groups had a good start; they both had the oil. But when they experienced delay and tarry in the return of the bridegroom, one group ran out of oil. They didn’t anticipate what was required of them to meet the Lord. The end time Church must be ready to meet the Lord, any day, any time.

What is this oil and why is it important?

Ephesians 1:11-14 tells us that in accepting Christ we have obtained an inheritance and received the Holy Spirit as a guarantee from God. The evidence of your salvation is the mark of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, when Jesus comes back He is looking for His own Spirit. The Holy Spirit can be attributed to the oil, but it is our duty to steward the oil well.

The Holy Spirit in us is what enables us to relate to God as our Father. Without this privilege, we go back to being strangers, that’s why when the unprepared bridesmaids returned and called out the Lord said He did not know them, because He didn't see the evidence of the Holy Spirit in them - the oil.

Child of God, Do you have religion or do you have an active, living relationship with God? Is it possible that you are riding on the strength of an encounter you had years ago and today you don’t have the reality of His presence? The manner in which you address Him is proof of the strength of your relationship. That’s why on the cross, in the final moments when sin had infiltrated the body of the only begotten, Jesus, He called out ‘my God’ and not 'my Father'.

The evidence of the presence of the Lord Jesus in your life is that you have an active and living relationship with Him. There is nothing more important than your relationship with Jesus. Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit. Be quick to repent. If you can preserve and guard the presence of the One who is guarding you, then the Holy Spirit will work on you and make you ready, spotless and without blemish for the return of the Lord Jesus.

The Church that Jesus is returning for is one that can exhibit God at a high level. The Church will be ready when Christ is fully formed in us, and we collectively look like the Lord Jesus; in nature, character and stature.
