Divine Intervention
Wade E Taylor

We are near the end of the 6th day, when the Church age will come to an end, and the Millennial Kingdom will be established. This is the time of the Parousia (appearing) of Jesus when He will manifestly take His place as the head of His Body. The time in which man is in control of the nations is coming to an end. Intervention, in which Divine control will be effective, is beginning to take place.

At this present time, the Lord is preparing “overcomers,” who through the process of His dealings, are becoming capable of responding in obedience to His end-time purposes. Many are aware that something different is taking place in their relationship to the Lord at this present time.

“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:
and we shall reign on the earth.” Rev 5:10.

As world conditions increasingly deteriorate, it is becoming evident that there is no answer, except Divine Intervention. Methods of solution to present world problems are so elusive that world leaders must come to recognize that they are incapable of any resolution of these problems. We, as Christians, must pray that they will acknowledge their need for a higher power, the Lord Jesus Christ, to intervene.

“Intervention” is a state in which the Lord brings forth a condition or experience in the recipient through Divine sovereign power, which is independent of any ability that the individual may possess, to contact the power of God in order to bring these things to pass.

Many who are spiritual have witnessed, or experienced, acts of intervention. But the time for the continuous state of “Divine Intervention” is upon us, in which the Lord will move upon, and lift into His end-time purpose, all those who, as overcomers, have entered a state of rest in His presence.

“To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on
My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My
Father on His throne.” Rev 3:21.

There are two aspects of “Divine Intervention.”

The first is the calling out of a remnant, in order to prepare them to be used in a cooperative relationship with the Lord concerning the closing out of the church age and the establishing of the Kingdom age. During this time of preparation, there is a special grace that lifts and empowers those who are being qualified as overcomers. These are seen as being seated with the Lord on His throne in an intimate relationship with Him (bride), and also, as functioning in a cooperative relationship with the Lord (sons), in spiritual authority and purpose.

For us to become a part of this “bride,” who is seated with the Lord on His throne, requires an unconditional submission of the totality of our being to Jesus as our head, in which our identity becomes so “one” with His, that in this unity and oneness, we become the expression of His life.

Being a mature “son,” we enter into a cooperative relationship with the Lord for the outworking of His purposes in the closing out of the Gentile age, and in the establishing of the Millennial Kingdom.

These two positions as a son and as a bride can be viewed as being like a two sided coin. Each side is different, yet it is one coin. As we unconditionally commit all that we are, and ever will be, to the Lord, and in obedience rise above all that is less than our Lord’s best, each of these relationships are formed within us. As we yield to His headship, we become a bride. And, as we respond to the Lord in obedience, we grow into spiritual maturity, as a son.

As a bride, by being in total submission to our head, the Lord Jesus Christ, we are lifted into a relationship of intimate communion and fellowship with Him.

"I am my Beloved's, and His desire is
toward me." SS 7:10.

As a son, we enter into a cooperative relationship with the Lord in the outworking of His purposes, in which we function only to the extent that we are in a bridal relationship of submission to Him.

"Come, My beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us
stay in the villages. Let us rise up early to the vineyards;
let us see if the vine flowers, whether the tender grape
appear, and the pomegranates bud forth; there I will
give thee My loves." SS 7:11 KJV.

This two-fold “overcoming” relationship is impossible of attainment, apart from the sovereign hand of the Lord being stretched out in our behalf to qualify us for these positions. Therefore, to merely read these teachings and mentally grasp them is not sufficient. They must be experientially entered, step upon step.

“I love them that love me; and those that seek me
early shall find me. That I may cause those that
love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their
treasures.” Proverbs 8:17-21 KJV.

To attain this level of identification with the Lord, we must unconditionally submit the totality of our being to the Lord - all that we are, all that we have, and whatever we do, and then enter into the workings and dealings of an active on-going relationship with Him. As we cooperate with the Lord in the outworking of this, we will be made ready for His higher Kingdom purposes.

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
to good works, which God has before ordained that
we should walk in them.” Eph 2:10 KJV.

“For whom the LORD loves He chastens, and scourges
every son whom He receives.” Heb 12:6.

“In whom you also are being built together for a dwelling
place of God in the Spirit.” Eph 2:22.

The second aspect of divine intervention is the empowering of this remnant as a witness to the world of the manifest power and glory of the Lord, in order to bring judgment to the anti-christ world system. An “anti-christ” is anyone, or anything, that exalts themselves above the knowledge and Word of God, or denies the anointing and the power of God,.

This remnant will also have a part in the establishing of the Millennial Kingdom of God.

“And have made us kings and priests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.” Rev 5:10.
