Earthquakes

We are coming around the sun again for a backside alignment with the destroyer.  Last year we had a 9.0 megaquake in Japan.  This year we had twin 8.2 and 8.9 megaquakes about 150 miles from each other.  We have been seeing a multiyear pattern of earthquakes in the spring and fall.  This observation is simple, it requires no special skills to see.

We are about to hit July 2012.  Sometime around Sept/Oct we should see at least one violent quake and or other destructive weather.  Remember Christchurch, NZ as a historical example of this.  Today on the east coast we are seeing low 60's temperatures at lunch time and in 2-3 days its supposed to hit 100 degrees.  To say that the earth signs are sending us a message is an understatement.

The economy in Europe is hanging by a thread, we have at least one violent earthquake coming up, WW3 hinging on the events taking place in Syria, weird weather everywhere, and many more signs I don't have time to go into right now.

So what?

So, now would be a great time to seek the protection under the Lord's wings.  Now would be a great time to seek the shelter of the Most High God.  Now would be a great time for us to pray for all the brothers, our families and ourselves that all of our sins will be forgiven and we may be counted worthy to escape all that is about to happen and stand before the Lord.

I have been feeling weak lately.  I'm hanging on with the little strength I have today.  What did the Lord tell us about the church that will be kept from the trial about to come upon all the world?

Rev 3:7“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:

These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.10Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.

If you feel like me, weak with little strength do not be troubled.  With the strength we do have we must keep His Word and not deny His name.  We must keep His command to endure patiently.  None of us know days or hours.  Those who think they do have been proven wrong over and over again.

What is the Spirit saying to the churches today?  Keep the faith, rest, be patient, stay in the Word.  We can add to our strength through His Word.

I have noticed an uptick in the earthquake activity as we swing around the sun to the Fall alignment with the destroyer.  What is the destroyer?  I don't know but I see its effects all around us and the Lord has focused my attention on it to bring it to your attention as well.  A warning is a great act of love.  The Lord has warned this writer.  This writer passes this along to you.  Time appears to be short for most people who live on the face of the earth today.  How short?  I have no idea.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Patience

2 items today

1. prayer
2. faith and patience

This year of 2012 has been built up as a monument to what the 'powers that be' would like to do.  What most people do not take into consideration is the Lord's great patience.  He is our Master we are His servants and we are called to be just like Him.  This brings me to something I believe He spoke to my mind last night: patience.

On one hand, everything within me is screaming 'this isn't right' and seems to tell me that time has almost completely run out on this world.  To be this close to everything taking place and yet not to see it can be almost maddening.  Some walk away from the faith because the Lord tarries, some stop watching, some do not remain ready and all are wrong answers.

The brought to my mind last night this Word:

Heb 6:12 That you be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.


Patience is required.  Matt 25 tells us the wise virgins made preparations to wait-they brought extra oil.  Rev 3:10 tells us the ones who are kept from the trial coming on all the world are those who kept the Word of His patience:

Rev 3:10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.

I am amazed at how todays so called teachers have so quickly and utterly abandoned faith.  What do I mean?  Listen to their words?  They talk about grace, grace and more grace but they consistently leave out FAITH when they talk.  Why?  Because it flies in the face of their "OSAS" once saved always saved doctrine of devils.

How do we inherit the promises?  Through FAITH and patience
How are we saved?  By grace THROUGH FAITH

Ephesians 2:8 

... For by grace you have been saved through faith.

What did Jesus wonder about when He returns to earth?

Luke 18:8 

... Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

Where are the FAITH preachers today?  I love the Lord's grace as much as anyone, but if men call themselves preachers and they preach a partial gospel (which is no gospel at all) then they are cursed:

Gal 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!

The all grace no faith gospel is a false gospel.  The Word alone is our standard to judge all things.

2012 could be the biggest flop year we have seen yet.  All the pieces are setup on the world stage for the tribulation to start today, but the Lord can make the world wait indefinitely.  We must wait as the Lord waits.  Our patience must have no end.  We must wait with great FAITH that our Lord will do what He said He would do and He is not slow to fulfill His promises.

2.  Prayer-this is a big one but will be short.  This one jumped out at me a day or two ago from the Word:

Psalm 66:18 

... If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

Think hard about that one ^^.  People wonder why the Lord does not speak to them or seem to answer their prayers?  If men regard, think about iniquity in their hearts THE LORD WILL NOT HEAR THEM.  We must watch our thoughts and minds and hearts very very carefully.  I am dead meat if the Lord does not hear me.  He is all I have, all my help, all my counsel, all my guidance, everything.  How can we live if the Lord does not hear us?

We cannot entertain iniquity in our hearts.  We must take captive every thought

2 Cor 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

End of Post Thoughts

We must be very patient.  2012 could very well end as just another year.  The Lord could tarry even in the face of the overwhelming signs and signals we see around us.  He told us we must prepare to be patience, just like the wise virgins.  Mentally 'bring the oil.'  Prepare yourself in your mind to be ready and willing to wait.  With all that said be ready to leave here immediately.  Deliverance and sudden destruction will go hand in hand.  Everything will go along business as usual until suddenly it does not.  Remember the stories of Noah and Lot.  They were both physically removed from the sudden destruction of their day.  The Lord said it would be just like that when He comes back.  Not only that but we are told there is an escape from ALL coming (Luke 21.36), we will be kept from the trial=tribulation coming on the entire earth if we keep the Word of His patience (Rev 3:10).

What is the Spirit saying to the churches today?  What this servant hears is:

be patient
keep the FAITH
rest
be ready to leave
pray
be holy, watch your hearts and minds do not grieve the Holy Spirit.

These things are hardly revolutionary.  These things are the very basics of the faith right?  The Lord has called us back to the fundamentals of the faith.  What we are being asked to do is simple, but that does not make it easy.

Please remember me and my family in your prayers as I remember you daily.  Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Signs Keep Coming

A town called "herald" recently experienced a "biblical" invasion of locusts.  See for yourself:
http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/state&id=8700593

Herald-according to answer.com:
A person who carries or proclaims important news; a messenger.
http://www.answers.com/topic/herald 

This kind of events is about as "in our face" as the earthquakes in Christchurch, NZ.

What is this event in California "heralding?"

Rev 91The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. 2When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. 3And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 4They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man.6During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.

We are looking at a sign pointing to the opening of the abyss and locusts coming down upon the earth.

These are the kinds of things we have been seeing now for years as we sit upon the edge of the razor waiting for the tipping point.  As always we must be watching and ready, especially this year. The enemy and his camp expect the Lord to give them permission this year to setup their 'world order.'  They can only go as far as they are permitted to go.  They are being restrained by force.

We shall see soon enough either way.  Meantime we must embrace the teaching of Rev 3:10 and the parable of the virgins in Matt 25.  The church in Rev 3:10 was rewarded for their patience, as were the wise virgins of Matt 25.  They brought extra oil in jars-prepared to wait.  Today is the day of patient waiting and watching in readiness.  We are to rest while we watch.  The rest I speak of does not mean we do nothing.  It means we "enter the rest of the Lord."  The good we have been sent here to do we must continue to do, while we rest.  Sounds strange to the carnal ear, may the Lord be our guide.

Heb 41Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. 2For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.^a 3Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said,

“So I declared on oath in my anger,

‘They shall never enter my rest.’”^b

And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world. 4For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “And on the seventh day God rested from all his work.”^c 5And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Rest

It was posted here recently that the Lord has been on me about rest.  We need to rest while we wait for Him is the bottom line, this is a marathon not a sprint we are taking part in and we are running to win the race:

1 Cor 9:24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

On the topic of rest I believe the Lord brought this to my mind:

Matt 25:1“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.


We are the virgins waiting for the bridegroom.  The Lord has been speaking of rest, what did all the virgins do?  They fell asleep and sleep is what?  Rest.  Also notice that the Lord did not criticize the virgins for sleeping here, the foolish virgins were left out because of lack of oil-not sleeping.

Notice the sequence of events in the parable:

1.  first all the virgins sleep then
2.  the bridegroom's cry goes out then
3.  those who are ready enter the wedding.

Now is the time to rest.  That does not mean we stop watching in readiness.  We must obey all of His commands, especially the command to watch and be ready.  We watch in readiness in a restful state therefore we can do it indefinitely.  This entire year appears to be a time to watch intently.  WW3, economic collapse, and false flag possibilities all appear imminent.  Also next month we start swinging around into the beginning of the earthquake window again.  Nothing however will proceed without the express permission of our Lord.  


I debated whether or not to write this.  In the end the Lord was insistent.  Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

6.0 Earthquake Greek Islands, 6/10/2012

http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/earthquake.php?id=272709


There were at least two 6.0 quakes I could see when these quakes occurred.  This entire area of Greece and Turkey have been consistently peppered with small quakes now for months....and nobody is taking notice.  Now, these quakes are getting larger.

What are the earthquakes from a biblical perspective?  Instruments of judgement.  I know people will say but we have always had earthquakes...yep just like we have always had rain but tell the rain story to the people of Noah's day and they will fill you in on the details being overlooked in our day.

Earthquakes in the book of Revelation are an attention getter.  What is the Lord doing throughout the book of Revelation?  Is He just unleashing wrath and judgement or is He at the same time trying to get mankinds attention through the powerful signs and signals?

Rev 9:20 The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood--idols that cannot see or hear or walk.


In this passage ^^ we see the Lord telling us that people are getting hammered with judgement and yet they still do not repent.  We see the thinking of the Lord here, all the way through to the end He is looking for repentance.

Back to the earthquakes.  For many months now the Lord has focused me in on the approach of the destroyer.  What this destroyer is I do not and cannot precisely nail down.  Part of it is likely "Nibiru" or whatever people might want to call the incoming celestial train of destruction.  Part of it is Wormwood which is specifically called out in the Bible.  What's the point?  Its all coming from above.  Recently the Lord has withdrawn my focus from the earthquakes and destroyer, I can literally feel inside of me the withdrawal.

My sense today is that the Spirit is saying "rest."  I have no specific topic or target I sense the Lord impressing me to write about except as always be ready, be watching, and now rest.

The good we can do today, we should do.  2012 appears to be the year the enemy has marked as their year to take down America and the rest of the western world to implement their nwo.  That does not matter much to me because it does not matter one iota what they want to do.  What matters is what they are allowed to do.

We continue as a world to hold on a razors edge between two worlds.  The old world we have known for lifetimes is a hairs width away from being dissolved.  The "new world" they have planned is on the other side but we stay stationary perched on the razors edge for the tipping point to push the world over.

The Lord determines times and seasons and this season on the edge of the razor will be no different.  We have moved like a freight train barreling toward the enemies planned outcomes then we have stalled at the point we are now-where their plans meet the wall called the Restrainer.

The Lord has demonstrated to us over the course of years that He can cause us to pause here, balanced on the head of a needle, on the edge of a razor for as long as He sees fit.  The Lord our God is demonstrating His power by an open display right now through this wall He has placed in front of the enemy.  They cannot get what they want until He allows it.

I have never seen things in the world in more perfect alignment for all hell to break loose in accordance with what has been written in the book of Revelation, but here we wait.  What should we do in the face of such circumstances?  What is the Spirit saying to the Churches today?  Be watching, be ready, do the good you know to do today while it is still called today, and rest in the Lord.

These are the things this writer feels impressed with today.  Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Rest

The Lord just gave me a big piece of the puzzle I have been missing: rest.

It has been written here that we are to watch and be ready every day.  It is written here because it was first written in the Word.  We have been watching in readiness now for years.  We all know that we cannot maintain razors edge readiness forever.  The Lord never asked us to be on the edge of our seats every day.  He did tell us to be watching and ready.

Recently He has impressed upon me a crucial final piece...REST.  While we watch in readiness we are to rest in Him.  Can we do that indefinitely?  You bet we can.  He has been on me for weeks now about this idea of rest.  The Lord rested one day out of the week of creation.  He ordered the Hebrews to rest on the sabbath.  Why?  For their own good, for our own good.  He knows how we work, He created us.

We must rest.  As I am finding out while I walk with the Lord, His ways are not our ways.  This almost seems unworkable, but it is workable.  Rest while we watch in readiness?  YES.  We are running a race to the finish line.  A pace must be set that is sustainable all the way to the finish line and that will require rest.

I am not going to quote all the places in the bible the Lord teaches us about rest.  Please get on your internet bibles and do a keyword search for rest and see what the Lord has said about this very important issue.  One word that I must add comes from the Jewish peoples (and us as humans) inability to rest when they were told to.  They came up with all kinds of ways not to rest on the sabbath.  The sabbath was made for MAN.  It is a gift.  Not that we are to observe sabbaths now, but we are to rest- that is the point.  Here are a few verses to illustrate:

Isaiah 28:12 to whom he said, "This is the resting place, let the ...

to whom he said, "This is the resting place, let the weary rest"; and, "This is the place of repose"--but they would not listen.

Exodus 34:21 "Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you ...

"Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.

You must rest?  Why?  FOR YOUR OWN GOOD...

Hebrews 4:10 for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his ...

for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his.

There are too many to list, please search the Word for yourselves.  This is the issue the Lord has impressed me with for weeks.

Be watching and ready to leave this place.  The Bridegroom could call for the Bride at any moment.  Restraint could be lifted at any moment.  Watch in readiness, and do it in Christ in His place of rest.

These are the thoughts this writer has been impressed with.  Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

There was a 6.6 magnitude quake yesterday off the coast of Panama and today there was a 6.1 in Indonesia.  Tomorrow and Wednesday depending where you are in the world the transit of Venus will be taking place and will be visible.

Notice the proximity of the quakes with the alignment of the planets?  Things going on out there affect things here on earth.  The Lord told us there would be signs in the sun, moon and stars.  From our point of view these next couple of days will have venus "in the sun" and between the horns of Taurus.

What do these things mean?  It would be a stretch for me or anyone to go beyond the fact that they are signs.  When we look around here on earth we see the world setting itself up for destruction while these signs play themselves out in the heavens.  When we open the book of Revelation and the gospels does that fit?  It certainly does.

Destruction is coming to this world because of lawlessness which is sin.  Rejecting the Creator always results in the same thing, destruction.  This writers 80 day watch is coming to an end in 2 days, but the watching we do as believers will go on.  The Lord has brought me to a place of peace in spite of all that is going on in the world around us.  The Lord could call for His Bride at any moment now but we could also be watching and waiting for a long time.  This is where I find myself.  Watching, waiting and patiently enduring.

2012 could be the biggest "nothing out of the ordinary" year we have seen yet.  We saw Rev 12, a mega quake, huge animals deaths and everything else last year on a large scale than we saw this year.  Now all these things have become "business as usual" and people have gone back to sleep. Expectations are high for something to happen which may mean nothing happens.  On the other hand everything in the world is setup for the Bride to leave and all hell to break loose here on earth.

This writer has had no dreams and no visions, and no other special revelation from the Lord.  What this write continues to have are a never ending stream of personal miracles and divine provision.  What I am impressed with from the Lord is to stick to the basics.  Pray, keep the faith, patiently endure all kinds of suffering, and in time all things will be settled.

When things happen is not determined by the enemy.  The Restrainer determines what is allowed to happen.  The enemy has been sending out a constant message that 2012 will be the year of destruction.  Could that be true?  Yes, if it is the Lord's will.  If we have learned one thing over the past years it is this;  things can look like they are on the razors edge of tipping, and nothing will happen.

I remember the Words of Revelation 310Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth. 11I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.

The ones who will be kept from the trial coming upon the whole world are those who are "in Christ" today and keep His command to endure patiently.

Also remember this, the destruction that is coming will come suddenly with little or no warning.  We endure, endure, endure, suffer then bam it will be over.  There is an escape from all coming for those found worthy of it.

Luke 2134“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. 35For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”

What is the Lord saying to the Churches today?  Be patient and always be on the watch.  Pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen.  Many are those who refuse to pray this as the Lord instructed us.  Many are those giving up on the watch, giving up on patience.  We should not be amazed that we suffer:

1 Peter 4:12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful ...

... Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you

All these things work together.  Our fiery trial is now, watching and praying with great patience are for right now.  A day is coming when we will cross the finish line and the race will be over.  That day can come through death or rapture or the calling of the Bride some other way.  The Lord's ways are not our ways and how and when He does things (the mechanics of them) is for Him to know and us to find out.

The Lord is coming like a thief.  Those who are not watching will suffer loss.  I am not talking about the second coming here, I am talking about the "unknown day" we read about time and again in the Bible.  The Bride does not know when the Bridegroom will call for her, she must be ready everyday.  The wise virgins of Matt 25 brought oil with their lamps because they were prepared to wait:  Revelation 310Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial

Let us listen to what the Spirit is saying to us today.

On a personal note my wife has a job interview Tuesday 6/5/2012.  Will you please pray for her and our family that if this is right for our family that the Lord will grant us favor and she will get the  job?

There have not been many posts recently.  I do not write just to write.  I pray that only what the Lord would have this writer write is posted to this blog.  Sometimes He gives me more, sometimes less.  These are the days of less when it comes to words.

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
