The Critical 'Musts' with Bill Nordstrom

Send us Fan Mail The Church may need a tribulation.  The Great Tribulation that will lead the present discombobulated, fractured, often compromising Church into a spirit of holiness, a resolve… a Bride that has made herself ready for the return of the Bridegroom. Building up a highway of holiness, taking out the stones of offense and accusation,  lifting a banner before the nations.  Saying to the...

Send us Fan Mail When Abraham lifted the knife over his only son Issac as he lay on the altar of sacrifice, God interrupted the proceedings with three important words, 'Now I Know.' Convinced by the most harrowing step faith the old patriarch could take, the Lord was convinced He chose the right guy! As we approach the end of the age with all the trauma accompanying those days, will God...

Send us Fan Mail God is revealing His long-held mysteries these days.  Mysteries He's held in plain sight for millennia.  Revealing timing indicators.  He wants us to recognize time frames that are more precise than often considered.  Subscribe to the Podcasts so you don't miss a new episode.  Check us out on FB @ "The Critical Musts" with Bill Nordstrom.  Or, head to our websi...

Send us Fan Mail Mat 24:14  "… this [apocalyptic] gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”  The gospel that is being revealed in the closing days of this age.  Our God laid out the blueprint for this task through the mouth of David in Psalm 2, so the Son of David might reveal it to the nations in our day! Subscribe t...

Send us Fan Mail Plenty of controversy about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.  A quick look at 21st. century civilization indicates many of the Bible prophecies in both Testaments show there will also be many no less important activities during this glorious return of our Lord.  One great age-ending event that brings the rule and reign of a Jewish Messiah to the earth for the next thousand years...

Send us Fan Mail "We preach for the absence of criticism, instead of the presence of the Holy Spirit.”  That's quite a statement.  It certainly got my attention when I first heard it.  Mat 24:45  "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?”  As pastors and teachers, I strongly believe we’ll be more intentl...

Send us Fan Mail It may not come with bullets and bombs, but perhaps from explosive bursts of marginalization, cancel culture, coming from a woke generation that sees our God and our deepening love for His son, entirely out of step with societal norms.  Might removing insignificant folks like you and me from the global conversation of the day be performing God an excellent service?  Let's fin...

Send us Fan Mail God is issuing a radical call to strategic prayer, guided by the Holy Spirit, that prepares the way for the Lord to move in the spiritual realm, ultimately affecting change in the natural realm.  The idea here is that God is telling His people to speak what He tells them to say.  He’s calling on a generation in this day to choose their words carefully and declare directly to the d...

Send us Fan Mail If you’re hanging on to the popular idea inside and outside the Church, that new political leadership, an insurmountable military, a revisionist social justice, and monetary structure will somehow reverse the global course we’re on and ease the rage among the nations, you'll be sadly disappointed.   God saw this coming long before we did and He sees everything is right on sch...

Send us Fan Mail If there is anything in view these days, it’s the speed at which the world’s new political and social agendas are bringing about a radically new order that will soon bring God’s divine patience to a quick halt. “FOR HE WILL FINISH THE WORK AND CUT IT SHORT IN RIGHTEOUSNESS BECAUSE THE LORD WILL MAKE A SHORT WORK UPON THE EARTH."  Subscribe to the podcasts so you don't mi...

Send us Fan Mail  What did King David know in Psalm 2 that few know today or even consider?  David knew a much future obsessive rage would overtake global governments to the point of seeking to destroy Israel and her spiritual offspring.   I believe David knew a summoned assembly of the Body of Messiah would fulfill its end-time mandate and destiny of doing the greater works on the earth.  Exploit...

Send us Fan Mail What used to take decades now takes minutes!  That’s a big deal.  Think about it.  Knowledge.. the ability to know something and communicate it is nearly instantaneous.  And that ability, in this timeframe in which we live, speaks volumes about the importance of Bible prophecy, how it's being communicated, and our responsibility for conveying such knowledge with divine accura...

Send us Fan Mail Has there been any greater mystery or controversy in history than Israel and its earthly journey from antiquity?  The one to whom God spoke and the prophets wrote.  So many mysteries God has held closely for eons are now being revealed.  From the long journey of the two seeds in the Garden.  To the mystery of the sealed scroll of Daniel 12.  Where now, few care for this Godly prop...

Send us Fan Mail  Isaiah was a forerunner, and he used very intense language to describe the conditions in Israel and, most importantly, the ministry of the forerunner and how the gentile church will function in the time of Jacob’s Trouble.  How Believers will be prepared for their specific assignments, including bold prophetic proclamation and unceasing prayer. Subscribe to the Podcasts so you do...

Send us Fan Mail Just as Daniel's intercession in Chapter 9 was necessary to release the prophetic revelation in Chapter 10 by releasing the Archangel Michael to remove the opposing Prince of Persia, we must ask, will a Church facing its greatest spiritual challenge be appointed to know what’s coming and by means of intercession become an end-time Daniel and likewise be enlightened like Danie...

Send us Fan Mail As we adjust to the so-called new ‘normals,' what will be the condition of our  collective hearts and how will we respond in the crisis?  The Church is little prepared to navigate THAT new normal, neglecting one of the greatest tools of evangelism, the witness of apocalyptic prophetic evangelism, an instrument the Holy Spirit will use to ignite the greatest revival since Pent...

Send us Fan Mail One of the most frequently stated arguments for an early rapture is found in Revelation.   Pre-trib defenders argue the Church is never mentioned after chapter 4 in the book.  That after the Lord reprimands the seven churches in Asia Minor, Revelation goes ‘silent’ on the subject.  And, because the word ‘Church’ is absent from the discussion, it’s believed there’s been a sudden an...

Send us Fan Mail If you and I are alive and well on planet earth when events begin to take place that leads to the great tribulation, you and I had better know in whom we’ve believed and have unwavering confidence that He is faithful to keep that which we’ve committed to Him, against that Day!!  Subscribe to the Podcasts so you don't miss a new episode.  Check us out on FB @ "The Critica...

Send us Fan Mail Among many in the church today who embrace  Christian theology, even go to church regularly and support the creeds and the canon of scripture,  hold to the idea that God is somehow finished with the Jews.  That they may have some relevance in the plan of God in the sweet by and by, but the Church has replaced Israel as the ‘apple of His eye.’  Nothing could be further from the tru...

Send us Fan Mail The Son of God wastes no time letting His followers know what should have their undivided attention. That knowledge is important now and especially in the next few years. Scripture reveals the approximate time of His return, albeit in a way that would remain hidden from the majority of professing Christians until the last moments. Subscribe to the Podcasts so you don't miss a...

Send us Fan Mail Do we embrace the truth or the lie?  This is not about succumbing to ‘false’ doctrine or deception at an unguarded moment in life.  That can be momentary and perhaps rob us of our peace of mind and cause us to question our spiritual destiny.  God’s not threatened by our wrong ideas about Him.  But our Lord does give us significant warnings of an internal state of apostasy, an aban...

Send us Fan Mail  What’s God saying?  He’s saying His prophetic servants will stand in His divine counsels.  And that He’ll have a praying Church that operates in the prophetic and follows closely His Template For Transition.

Send us Fan Mail  Can we say, based on Daniel's vision in chapter 11 and the words of Jesus in Matthew 24, we are now in the birth pains that will precede the Lord's return? Daniel's vision of the military and ethnic conflicts in chapter 11, and Jesus' careful instructions to His disciples in Matthew 24 present us with a harmony of scripture that should gain our attention.   Le...

Send us Fan Mail Given present-day events in Israel and elsewhere, we might find this episode even more relevant than six months ago!!  Just how do we see the coming Apocalyptic events of today in the context of a Church that's still sorta  'scratching' its head?
