Awaken the Time Is Short: China and the End-Times — David Demian

God is preparing for an unshakable kingdom, and the target is you and me. So the Lord is after you and me, to bring us into alignment in the Spirit. And when I'm talking about in the Spirit, it's not only your Spirit and His Spirit.

I'm talking about your mind being aligned in the Spirit. Your will being aligned in the Spirit. Your emotions aligned in the Spirit. Because we're going to live not in sync inside, how are we going to live in sync together?

So the Lord in His mercy, He shook us inside, in the last season, brought us to the end of our ropes. So we can come to the place of surrender. Because we knew that we will not go to heaven without the redemption of Jesus.

The Need for Transformation Through Romans 12

But guess what? We think we can make it on earth without the redemption of our minds and our will. We think we're doing a good job, and the church is going further and further and further from the kingdom of God.

When it comes to heaven, all of us has no problem of proclaiming without Christ, you will not have eternal life. But somehow, when it comes to living our life, we don't need the transformation of our mind.

We don't need the consecration of our heart.

We don't need the purification and the sanctification of our emotions. And we're on the church on our basis. And we discover that we speak about the power, but we lack the power. And the Lord is saying, as much as eternal life is redeemed in me, also here you cannot live without me.

And that is what Romans 12 speaks about. He said, I beseech you brothers, offer your bodies as a living sacrifice. The next verse says, and be transformed by the renewing of your mind. So that you can experience the perfect, good, pleasing will of God.

Meaning, if your mind is not transformed, you will never experience the perfect, good, pleasing will of God. So we're living here, not in the will of God. Because we didn't go through the transformation of our mind.

And that's what the Lord is after. He's syncing our lives together. Because we will live the kingdom here, not only in the millennium. And the issue is not us anymore. The issue is the mockery of his name.

The enemy is mocking God daily, saying, where is your promise? Where is your promise? Where is the kingdom that you said you will establish on earth as it is in heaven? Where is the promise about your will being done on earth as it is in heaven?

The Kingdom Established in Hearts

And the Lord doesn't react to the enemy. But it comes a moment, in the fullness of time, when the lion roars. Aslan takes on the battle. Aslan is on the move. That's what's happening now. And he, by himself, will confront the powers of darkness.

And he will establish his kingdom in our hearts. Our emotions will be in line with the Holy Spirit. Our will will be in line with the Holy Spirit. We will not have a will different than the will of the Lord.

Our emotions will be in line with the Holy Spirit. Our thoughts will be in line with the Holy Spirit. And that is the major lack of sync at this hour. Can you see why you are so significant in God's eyes?

It's not about you. But it is about you. It's not about you because he can choose anyone. But it is about you because he chose you. So you are key in God's strategy at this hour. He's not limited to you, but he chose to limit himself to you.

There is a difference. And I didn't understand that difference before. So I treated the holy, unholy, or lightly. Whenever God used me, I used to say, well God can use anyone. And God can choose anyone.

So I didn't treat what the Lord has given me with reverence. I am a normal person. God chose me. He can choose anyone. It is true. And that keeps us a family, humility, no hierarchy, no pyramidal shape.

We are all one family. But on the other side, as important as this principle is, still there is another principle. Yes, he can use anyone, but he chose you. When he chooses you, then you treat it with reverence because it's God's choice.

Chosen by God and Bound in Covenant

It's like you choose a wife, and she thinks, well he can choose anyone. I'm not special. He can choose anyone. Yes, your husband can choose anyone, but he chose you. And once he chooses you, then you are not free anymore.

You are committed. You are in a covenant. And you don't have the freedom that you used to have. And this is what the Lord is after. I am his personal choice. And he has the right to my heart. And he has the right to my mind.

And he has the right to my will. I am free. But through my freedom, I made a choice. And that choice has bound me that I'm not free anymore. And that's what the Lord is after. You are chosen. Not because of who you are.

But because of his love to you, he chose you. Some of you, it's because of your longing in your heart. And some of you, because of your great-grandfather has cried, and you happen to receive the promise.

Sometimes it has nothing to do with you, it's just you are a recipient of others that have sown. I remember when I said to the Lord, why are you blessing the Chinese so much these days? Why, Lord? Why are you favoring them in such a way?

Whenever I think of redeeming the Muslims, I think of the Chinese. When I think of the Jewish people, I think of the Chinese. And I say, why? I don't have an answer. But I remember when the Lord said to me, it's because of the blood that was shed for my namesake.

China, Inheritance, and God’s Sovereign Plan

So the Chinese today, have never been part of that persecution that happened from Communist China to the mainland Chinese. They are reaping today. Because the Lord is rewarding the whole bloodline. And you are a recipient of this blessing.

You can't treat it lightly. And you can't look inside and say, what have I done to receive all that? It has nothing to do with you! Yes, your obedience is very appreciated by God. But what you are receiving has, your obedience is that measure, and what you are receiving is that measure.

So you are reaping what others also have sown, plus what you have sown. And that's why we are joining in, we are blessed as nations to walk along the Chinese. Not because you are better than anyone else.

In the kingdom of God, there is no one better than the other. In the kingdom of God, there is no Jew better than Gentile, or Gentile is better than Jew. But yet still God has calling and promises. And it has nothing to do with who is better.

It has to do with God's sovereign plan that He has foreordained since the foundation of earth.

So you cannot boast, because it's God's grace.

On the other side, you cannot treat it lightly.

But on the other side, you cannot call it lightly.

Because God, through you, wants to bless the nations. And through you, He wants to deposit what He wants to do.

The Remnant’s Choice to Receive God’s Kingdom

So God is looking for a remnant in this gathering.

He is looking for people, whoever will respond. He said, I want to establish my kingdom. I want to align your will. Will you promise me that none of my desires will be thrown to the ground? Will you promise me that your thoughts are aligned with my thoughts?

Will you promise me that your emotions are aligned with my emotions? Will you promise me that I will be the only king and Lord over your life? It is His right anyway. He bought us by the price. But the Lord will not take His right forcefully.

Because one day, you will not have a choice. When every knee will bow and every tongue will confess. One day, it will not be a choice. But today, it is a choice. Because God wants you to give Him the pleasure.

I am not forced, God. I still have all the options. And I choose you. I choose you. I believe there is something special about being chosen.

I believe there is something special about being chosen. When you were young,.

When they were choosing the soccer team,.

You were the only one they could choose. How did that feel?

You always felt that you are an add-on. If there was someone else, you might not have been on that team. You know that feeling? That feeling of, I'm not chosen. Why God will have that feeling with us?

Why do you want Him to destroy all other options?

And He takes your bank account. And He takes this.

Whatever you are relying on,.

He takes it away. Because out of His love,.

He doesn't want you to lose it all. Because it's better to lose all these things than losing Him. But why don't we choose Him while we have all these things?

Why don't we give Him the pleasure? Why don't we give Him the joy? Lord, look, I have this, I have that,.

I have this, and I have that. But among all, you are the only one that deserves my life. You are the only one that deserves me serving you. I'm not talking about full-time ministry. I don't like people leaving their jobs when the Lord has not called them.

Because it's another form of your will being doing what you feel you want to do to serve God. There is no better way to serve God except to listen and obey. He's looking for those who will choose.

But He's looking for those who are willing to choose. Suddenly, He starts to download the principles of the kingdom into your life. It's not that you will change completely right away. It's that you will start to be different.

It will be another journey.

A journey of transformation.

Transformation from Individuals to Nations

Before a country is transformed, a person's heart needs to be transformed.

It takes a small group of people to transform the whole.

When you start to live like this, when we reach a critical number, the airwaves change. Sometimes when I go to a hotel, I feel so relaxed. Sometimes when I go to another city, another hotel, I feel sick.

I feel agitated. Why? Because there is a presence in the room.

Why? Because there were some people that left a presence in the room. And I believe that we can leave a presence in the air that people will get up differently. And that's what the Lord is after. He's after me and after you.

He's not after your perfection or are you able or not, but He's after some people that will say, Lord, I enroll myself again and again and again. Because the speed of the revelation that the Lord is revealing is so fast.

Last night you enrolled yourself, this morning you enrolled yourself, and this evening you will again enroll yourself because that level of revelation is increasing. Suddenly, wow, I didn't understand that.

I enrolled myself yesterday, Lord, and I confirm it again. I am still on. Because the Lord is leading us. I want to say this to you. 11 -11. The breakthrough of 11 -11 is determined by how, from now, from this point, until 11 -11, how are we going to live?

The Pure Seed and the Downloading of Kingdom Principles

And if we provide a pure seed, an incorruptible seed, guess what will happen? When there is a pure seed, the Lord will download His kingdom principles in our hearts. And suddenly, we will think, and He will wipe out in the air what was a religious kingdom into a spiritual kingdom of God.

He will wipe out. He will say, delete old and replace by new. And people who are hungry like you and me, who didn't know any different, and they were living a Christian life, that's all what they know.

Suddenly they link and they will sink. And suddenly the pure kingdom laws will come in. And they will say, wow! This is what I have been waiting for. Revelation after revelation all across the land. Because there was a critical mass that broke through in the spirit realm.

And thank God for all the pockets across Canada and across the states that have never bowed to Baal yet. Thank God for them. But some need to come out of the caves. And it will take us to stand together corporately to break through in the spirit realm.

Revelation, Faith, and the Promises of God

And it is very important, even our spirit's capacity to receive is far greater than our mind's capacity to understand. Some of you, your spirit is turning around inside.

Some of you, your spirit has been stirred inside.

And the revelation is hitting you. Could this be the hour? Could this be the fulfillment of the promises of thousands of years? But still, when the angel came to Zechariah, still God speaks of the past and the present and the future at the same time.

And still Zechariah, as he is hearing, he found a struggle in his faith. How can this be? And we want to come and say, Lord, we don't understand, but our spirits are witnessing with what you're saying.

How can the Lord do that? Do you think you can understand how things happen in the Bible? There is no way you can understand. But God's promises are true and amen. He is not a man that he will lie. He is the God of the promises.

Standing in the Gap for a New Spiritual Transformation

So I want you to stand up with me. And I wanted to see that you are taking responsibility not only for your life, but you are linking arms with Jesus and standing in the gap. Standing in the gap. That something will be downloaded in the spirit realm that will be different than what we have known before.

A transformation that we have never seen before. I don't even know how it will look like. But I don't need to know. I don't need to know. I don't need to know. I don't need to know. According to your will, let it be done.

I don't understand. But according to your will, and that is Mary's declaration, I am his bond slave. Let it be according to your will. Just lift up your voices and declare. There is a time when you need to say to your spirit, it's not time for you to follow my mind.

Take off. Be released. There is a groaning. There is an intercession. Too deep for words. Too deep for words. I don't need to understand. Let my spirit rise up for the sake of God's kingdom. For the sake of his kingdom.

For the sake of God's kingdom. For the sake of his kingdom. For the sake of his kingdom. God, if you want to use me, here I am, Lord. I have failed to do what I wanted to do to follow you. Many times I tried.

But for such a time as this, use me, Lord. Here I am. Bypass my mind. Bypass my mind. Let your spirit and my spirit join together, O Lord.
