Today's Trials

 Today's trials and tribulations are tomorrow's testimony.  The Lord has this servant in a period of growth that requires some discomfort.  During this season the Spirit of the Lord shared the above thought ^^ about trials turning into testimony.  How can we share a testimony if we havent been through something ourselves?  The Lord God would have each of us finish the race strong, not coming limping across the finish line.  

Be the person you would like to see in the world.  This is more counsel from the Lord to the servant who writes to you.  The change we want to see starts with us.  Each person is different but for us who believe in the power of faith and prayer it is up to us to lead from the front.  Are we doing what needs to be done in this season to carry out our Divine mission?  We were put here for a reason and that reason has everything to do with the season.  The Lord did not make a mistake, we are the people who are/were supposed to be here at this point in world history.  We have a job to do and that job was appointed long ago by the Almighty who sees the end from the beginning.

Each one of us was created differently to carry out some kind of work for our Father's Kingdom.  Each one of us has unique talents, skills and abilities that are to be put to work right here and now and over the days ahead we are to develop/sharpen/train/grow those talents/skills/abilities to do our jobs in a way that pleases our Lord.  We want to do our very best for Him and for each other.

Get comfortable being uncomfortable.  Growth requires this mindset.  Stepping out in faith with courage to fulfill our Divine mission requires this mindset.  

In keeping with the general train of thought above, the Lord would have us consider the following as it is directly applicable to everything written above:

Joshua 1

1After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, 2“Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel. 3Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. 4From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun shall be your territory. 5No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. 6Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. 7Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success^a wherever you go. 8This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

Notice in the text above 1.  The great leader(s) of the past are dead/gone, you/me/we are the next man/woman up. And next, in order to be that next man/woman up we need to do what?  "Be strong and courageous"  Its kind of like Mark 13 where we see the Lord God who generally uses an economy of Words (because He knows how to communicate better than any of us) repeat Himself over and over again in a very short passage.  In Mark 13 the command was watch, watch, watch and here its be strong and courageous combined with be careful to follow my directions to the letter...

It is time for us to step up and get comfortable with being uncomfortable in order to fulfill our Divine calling.  Only the Lord knows what is directly ahead of us in our journey but you can be sure of this, what has gone on in our lives up till now has been preparation to do what we need to do.  We are the tools in the Lord's toolbox to do what needs to be done on the earth today.  Each one of us has a unique set of talents and abilities to do what needs to be done.  It is time to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps in spite of our weaknesses, faults, uncertainties, fears and doubts.  Courage is not acting without fear it is taking action in spite of fear.  We have our fears and weaknesses but we take action anyway.  Our action starts and ends with prayer, faith and belief.  In between we do whatever else the Spirit of the Lord directs us to do as individuals.

We are all imperfect men and women just as Moses was:

Ex 3:11

But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

Moses was thinking the same thing "You want me to do what Lord!!!???"  We are imperfect tools in the toolbox of a Master Craftsman.  He knows who and what we are:

Ps 103

11For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
12as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
13As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.
14For he knows our frame;^a
he remembers that we are dust.

And yet He uses us to fulfill His purposes on this earth.  Its time to go to work guys.  Be strong and courageous and do what He is calling you to do.  If you dont know, get down on your knees and pray, get in the Word and build yourself up in the Lord so you can do what you were put here to do.  The Lord God wants each and every one of us to be great.  "Great" means putting to work the talents, skills and abilities we have been given through faith, strength and courage.  If you need more of something, ask Him for it:

Matt 21:22

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

We are dearly loved children of the Most High God.  The Lord our God is very great.  Lets get to work.

Glory to God

grace and peace

Active Resistance

2 Thess 2:7

For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 

The enemy has a problem ^^.  Their problem is awakening a sleeping giant.  What is that sleeping giant?  A praying believing Church that is actively resisting their agenda.  While we acknowledge that the Church does not consist of many people, only a few are required to move mountains for the Kingdom.  In fact, one can move mountains but two or more can do more (you get the point).  This servant prays daily over all the areas the enemy has launched attacks on humanity.  This servant prays daily to defeat and destroy all of the enemy agendas, narratives and spiritual strongholds of the enemy (race, climate change, gay/lgbtq, gun control/false flag shootings, medical tyranny, WEF, UN and every other globalist institution promoting anti-Christ ideology).  We all should be doing the same and more.

In the past when all of this was labeled conspiracy theory the enemy's agenda, narratives and spiritual strongholds did not get the same prayer attention those same items are getting now.  We are an integral part of the restraint on the enemy's plans in this world.  Whether someone wants to call "he who restrains" the Holy Spirit or the Church-it doesnt matter for our purposes.  The Holy Spirit inhabits the Church and acts as one.

The fact that the Church remains on this earth after Feast of Trumpets 2023 tells us what we need to know-that is there is more restraining to do.  As long as the Lord wills the enemy to be held back from their demonic world order it will be held back/restrained.  We can see that everything once considered to be conspiracy theory has been revealed as conspiracy fact.  "They" admit all of it.

We know what we were put here to do.  The enemy has launched total war against humanity and we who pray and believe are here on this earth to restrain it through prayer and whatever else the Spirit of the Lord tells us to do individually.  We need to maintain a list of prayer targets and pray over it daily.  We also need to stand in agreement in prayer over these targets.  Then we need to be in the Word daily finding the promises of God that directly or indirectly apply to the things we are praying about and pray these promises back to the righteous judge who is also our Father in heaven to adjudicate our case against the enemy.

"They" are trying to kill us, steal from us and destroy us.  Thats what they do.  Nowhere in the Bible will you see the Lord tell His people to just roll over and let the enemy ride roughshod over us.  We were given the tools and the instructions to do what needs to be done.  It starts with getting down on our knees in prayer, taking the fight back to the enemy.  You can be sure that they are busy each and every day bringing the fight to us.  

Glory to God.

grace and peace

 

Back To Work

 The Lord decided that Feast of Trumpets 2023 is not the time to pull the Church out of the earth.  That means we who believe and have been put here for a reason still have work to do.  But before we get back to work its important to remember a few things about watching and readiness:

1.  We should be watching and ready to meet the Lord every day regardless of what day it is because we were told to always be watching and ready.

2.  A day where no man knows the day or hour figuratively points to Feast of Trumpets but literally points to every day of the year,

3.  Nobody promised any one of us that we will wake up to see tomorrow which means each one of us should be ready to meet the Lord every day.

The Lord is busy at work, He is answering prayers non-stop day after day.  Our job starts on our knees in prayer.  We are engaged in primarily a spiritual war with an enemy who has declared all out war on humanity.  Spiritual wars require spiritual "tools" to fight.  We have been given every tool we need to do what we need to do.  If we pray, the Lord will answer and we know this because He has been answering and He told us how all this works:

Mark 11

24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received^c it, and it will be yours.

We have alot of things to pray for.  Here recently we see how important it is that we pray for peace because the narcissistic psycopaths are doubling and tripling down on their losing war.

Matt 5

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

We have alot of work to do, lets get back to it.

Glory to God

grace and peace

A Day Like Any Other

 We are still in Day 1 of Feast of Trumpets 2023 (sundown Friday to sundown Saturday).  Today we remember what the Lord said here:

Matt 24

36“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son,^b but the Father only. 37For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. 41Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left. 42Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

45“Who then is the faithful and wise servant,^c whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. 48But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed,’ 49and begins to beat his fellow servants^d and eats and drinks with drunkards, 50the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know 51and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

We note the Lord's description of the days before the flood: they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, 39and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

^^This description reads like today, a day like any other.  There is nothing in there to raise the hair on the back of the neck or cause anyone to suspect anything besides business as usual.  And it was and will be business as usual until things radically change in a day.  We read "they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away."  We are not those people.  We are aware of what the Lord said and what could happen today.

The mockers and scoffers come out every year just after Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets to point the finger laugh and mock.  There is coming a day however when the finger will be pointed at themselves and they will only be able to mock their own foolishness.  We are doing exactly what we were told to do by the Lord God Himself.  He told us to always be watching and ready.

Luke 21

34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

If we do exactly what He told us to do we cant screw this up.  And an added bonus is we can circle file (trash can) all the debates and arguments about pre-trib, mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib.  There are all irrelevant garbage in light of a one sentence command from our Lord.  We do this every year and will continue to do this as long as the Lord keeps this servant on the earth.  Watch during the appointed time/feast days then continue to watch and do our jobs after that.  The idea that we are somehow going to "walk away from the faith" because the Lord did not show up one year or another year is ridiculous and has been proven to be a garbage argument as well.

Let us continue to watch and pray for the Lord's return over this FOT 2023.  If He decides to wait, we continue to do our job of restraint through prayer.

2 Thess 2

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.

Our God is very good.  Glory to God.

Feast of Trumpets 2023 Day 1

 The Feast of Trumpets (FOT) 2023 begins at sundown today 9/15/2023 and lasts through sundown 9/17/2023.  Some of us use this appointed time/feast to remember: 1. What the Lord has already done and 2. What the Lord is going to do.

If the Lord comes down to the clouds and calls us up over the next 2 days, wonderful.  If He decides to wait we continue to do what we have been doing.  We were put here on this earth for a reason in this season.  We have a job to do for the Kingdom of the Most High God.  Speaking of that job, it begins with prayer.  Why do we pray?  Are we just spitting words into the atmosphere or do we believe that prayer makes a difference?  We believe that prayer makes a difference.  We believe that because we get answers, over and over and over again.  The Lord answers prayer, its that simple.

Do we always get what we asked for when we asked for it?  No.  The Lord God is sovereign.  He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords so He does what He wants, when He wants to do it.  He is God and we are mortals so obviously He knows more about what is best for us and His Kingdom than we do.  With all that said we can see all around us that the Lord God answers prayer and He continues to do so.

One of the major prayers we have been praying is the Lord will protect our water supplies from the enemy's war on humanity.  Guess what?  The Lord answers prayer.  We can also see in a more general sense that the enemy is being restrained by the prayers of the Church.  If they could, they would already have us chipped like cattle and penned up in cages.  They tried in 2020 with their coronascamdemic and failed.  That operation was evil genius but it still failed, but why?  Because prayer works and the enemy is being restrained.

We can also see that a number of the psycopath narcissist oppressive globalist extreme left politicians are having physical and mental problems these days.  Why?  They are reaping what they have sown:

Ps 9

15The nations have sunk in the pit that they made;
in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
16The LORD has made himself known; he has executed judgment;
the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion.^d Selah

If we do what we were put here to do we will not be disappointed.  We need to continue to stand in agreement with each other in prayer:

Matt 18:19

“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

and we need to pray the promises the Lord God made to us back to Him:

1 Jn 5:14

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

What we have to do is very simple.  We do what He told us to do at face value.  We don't need PhD dissertations and videos and books and conferences to figure this stuff out.  He gave us His Word, we do it.  Thats it.  We can read it and interpret it on our own.  This is especially important in an age of universal deceit and hypocrisy.

1 Jn 2:27

As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.

This is getting long so we wrap it up here.  This is a time to be watching and ready.  Neither this servant nor any other man or woman alive on this earth today knows whether or not the Son of God, our Lord and Master will come for us over the next 2 days.  So, like He told us-we need to be watching and ready in case He does.  If He does not show up over the next 2 days that does not mean He cannot show up 3 days from now or 30 days from now.  Also we have no guarantee that we do not go to see Him before He comes down to see us.....

There is no law or doctrine that excels beyond what He told us to do.  Always be watching and always be ready.  If we do this we cannot possibly miss His surprise visit to the earth.

Mark 13

32“But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard, keep awake.^a For you do not know when the time will come. 34It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants^b in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. 35Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows,^c or in the morning— 36lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. 37And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.”

Forget what other people say about the Word of God and their interpretation of it.  You personally will stand or fall based upon your own faith and your own interpretation of what He said.  

Let us be found as faithful servants whenever our Lord comes back for us.  Our Lord is very good.  Glory to God.

Be Ready

 3 Days until Feast of Trumpets (FOT) 2023.  This world is not ready.  Most of the Church is not ready.  There are multitudes out there that teach and preach not to bother watching and readiness because their doctrine states this that and the other.  That flies in the face of a direct, simple reading of the Word of God which tells us to be watching and ready always for an unexpected arrival of the Lord.

Luke 21

34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares. 35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Mark 13

32But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34[For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Rev 3:3

Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

This particular FOT would be a perfect time for the Lord to show up.  The entire world would turn upside down in a moment.  All the restraint being sucked out of the atmosphere would mean and almost instant outpouring of demonic influence across the world that would make todays satanic influence in the world look like cotton candyland.  

There is no doctrine in the Bible or elsewhere that can upstage being ready to meet the Lord every day.  It makes sense with or without the catching away of the Church.  It makes even more sense when the Lord God specifically commanded us to do it.  The appointed times/feast days are seasons the Lord set for people to remember what He said, what He has already done and what He is yet to do.  

The circumstances surrounding this years FOT make this season a great time to be watching and ready.  There is a big X over America formed by 2 solar eclipses that complete in April 2024.  Then there is the current Nazi occupation of western leadership that promises to repeat Nazi actions of the past.  Their doctrine is to burn down what they cannot have.  So when the tide promises to shift out of their favor you know what their plan B is...

All of this is coming up within a year or so plus or minus 2 months.  The first item on the agenda that should have our full attention is this weekends Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah.  If the Lord decides to show up, Glory to God.  If He decides to wait, we continue to do what we were put here to do.  This is not complicated.

Let us be found as faithful servants watching for their Master's return over the 6 or so days.  We should also be praying a watching and readiness prayer that goes something like :"Lord I ask you in Jesus name that I, my family and all the brothers and sisters will be found watching and ready when you show up unexpectedly to take your Church out of this world."  While we have one eye on the skies we continue to pray in restraint on the satanic narcissistic psycopaths who are currently running things down here.

The Lord is very good.  Glory to God

The Enemy Plans to Steal

John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. 

It has come to this writers attention that the enemy has plans in place to collapse the world financial system by legally stealing everything.  Click the link to see the writers detailed description of how "they" already did it once and plan to do it again.  Once we believers have been made aware of enemy plans we can immediately call in restraint power through prayer.

In this post we need to add to our prayer lists the following items:

1.  That the Lord will prevent the great financial heist/theft/stealing the enemy plans to accomplish through "the great taking"

2.  Protect our homes from the enemy's directed energy weapons that have now been used in Hawaii and California

3.  Protect us from the enemy's chem war against humanity in the skies.

and these items are just a few to add to the pages of attacks the enemy has initiated against humanity.  This is total war and it is against you, your family, friends and everything else you care about in this world.  The enemy and his servants are busy every day waging war against us so we must be busy getting down on our knees requesting help from above.

The politicians along with anyone else who in theory or at face value were supposed to be defending humanity have sold us down the river.  Now humanity is backed up against a proverbial Red Sea just as Israel was with God alone to help us.  It doesnt get any more serious than this and yet we know from the book of Revelation that the people on this earth are going to require more stress and pressure to get their attention.  We are not those people.  The Lord must have our attention right here and now.  If you have an ounce of compassion for your fellow man/woman and/or the rest of humanity now is the time to get down on your knees and pray.

So, while all of this ^^ is taking place we need to be aware of the timeline we are in.  Rosh Hashanah/Feast of Trumpets (FOT) is 11 or so days away.  The "X" over America is 8 or so months away and the next presidential election is 14ish months away.  The setup of the pieces on the chessboard would make this particular FOT one to be very aware of and ready for.  We need to be watching and ready for the Lord's unexpected return and we need to be equally ready to stay on this earth praying in restraint on the enemy.

This world is not ready for the Lord's unexpected return which makes next week's FOT a perfect time for the Lord to come back.  The world is not ready but we who believe must be watching and ready.  This starts with a watching prayer.  We can ask the Lord "Lord I pray that I and my family and all the brothers and sisters will be found watching and ready for your unexpected return."  This kind of prayer is foolishness for those who have manmade pet doctrines that tell them and those who listen to them not to bother doing what the Lord clearly told them to do:

Mark 13

32“But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard, keep awake.^a For you do not know when the time will come. 34It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants^b in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. 35Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows,^c or in the morning— 36lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. 37And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.”

There is a price for being a foolish virgin:

Matt 25

7Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’ 10And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. 11Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ 12But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.

 What we need to do is very simple yet many refuse to do it.  There is no law or doctrine anywhere that can outperform doing exactly what the Lord told us to do, namely to always be watching and ready.  This has a twofold application since there is no guarantee that any of us will see tomorrow we could go to Him unexpectedly at any moment requiring us to be ready to meet the Lord today.  Or, He could come down to the clouds and call us up requiring us to be watching and ready today.  This is elementary level simple but powerful demolishing all the lieing doctrines of the enemy concerning the catching away of the Church.  We dont have to be doctoral students to figure this stuff out we just have to do what we were told to do....

So this is getting long its time to close the post out.  As you can see the agenda is full and the timeline active for the near term future.  Regardless of what happens we know what the enemy plans to do (at least in part) and that much we can pray restraint over.  We also must keep our eyes on the sky and pray our watching prayers because this years FOT looks like prime time for the Lord to show up.  Whether we stay or go we need to be making a list and checking it twice then getting down on our knees and praying like we never have before over everything.

Prayer moves mountains and prayer destroys enemy strongholds.  The Lord God placed us here in this season for this reason.  Its time to do our job.

Glory to God
