Welcome to My Observatory. There's Room for You Up Here.

Logging the New Reality


Welcome to My Observatory.
There's Room for You Up Here.

Brace yourself for an exciting journey through a blizzard of major changes.

At times, you're going to need the flexibility of the Red Queen in Alice's Wonderland, who claimed to have believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

If you instinctively reject jarring news and annoying paradigm shifts, you're going to have a rough ride here. But I think you'll find the scenery very worthwhile. And the destination is a whole new world, a parallel world to the flat, Matrix-type reality you were raised in.

You may know little of what I'm about to tell you, but briefly, there has been a basic change in the nature of life on earth. The rules have shifted. In fact, the whole direction of history has changed massivelyCand with hardly any notice from even our brightest journalists.

An incredible amount of authority and power has been placed in human hands recently. Millions of people around the world have begun to do things that are humanly impossible. The most startling change of all is that God has brought people back from the dead in 52 countries in the past 15 to 20 years. That's not "near-death experiences," but real, cold-body resurrections. Skeptics can no longer smirk at Christianity because of its foundation upon a resurrection 2000 years ago. Agnosticism is dead.

And beyond the hundreds of resurrections from the dead, we have seen a flood of recent miracles, some of which go beyond those mentioned in the Bible. Yet these are just the visible proof of an even deeper, head-spinning reality: In the age-old struggle between good and evil, life and death, there has been a megashift of power, and life is now clearly winning. I have documented this in my new book, MEGASHIFT: Igniting Spiritual Power.

Planet Earth will soon be Christian--by acclamation, not coercion. Our faith is now winning the global contest for hearts--quite rapidly. Consider:
-At the start of the last century (1900), Africa had two million evangelical or charismatic Christians. Now it has 200 million.
-In Latin America, the growth was from one million to 170 million during that time period.
-And just since 1950, China has gone from one million to 115 or 120 million Christians.
Can you spot a trend here?

Never before has history recorded a global change in belief and allegiance. I have no theology that says Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism will fade out soon, but I have solid statistics saying exactly that. With some heavy help from the world's top Christian statisticians, I have discovered a core of Christianity that has been growing since 1970 at a red-hot 8% a year. After centuries of painfully slow church growth, only a third of humanity even claims to be Christian, but the crescendo of change is now skyrocketing. That growing core of the faith is now 707 million strong! It's clear that the Main Event has begun.

If you've ever longed for a deeper, more life-changing spiritual lifestyle, I think this may be the announcement you've been waiting for all your life.

Forget what you ever knew about "church." Forget buildings, pews, programs, and paid pastors. God is creating a more Biblical type of Christianity to carry out these huge changes. It is still based solidly on the Bible, and it still has strong leaders, but it's not a hierarchy. It's a very relational, highly committed network of small groups whose gatherings are 100% participatory. And though these proactive circles meet mostly in homes and seldom exceed 20 people, there are already over 100 million of us worldwide. And to set your mind at ease, I don't run thisCnor does anyone else. See the full story at www.Megashift.org

Consider this your call to that higher life you've dreamed of for so long. Our big sleep has ended, our 1700-year nightmare is over, and we are launching the final transformation of the Earth.

You may soon be a key part of that new world force. Welcome to the wrap-up of forty centuries of history, the final battle, the main event, the endgame of God.

If you look carefully, you may see yourself in between the lines of Megashift, doing things you always wanted to do, living a life you always wanted to live. Hang on tight. Could be a wild ride.
