We live in the season of restraint because we the Church with the indwelling Spirit of Almighty God are here to bind and restrain the rot, decay and darkness. Restraint is in our job description. We work with the Lord God, in agreement with Him and each other to hold back the demonic, satanic forces that want to storm through the gates of hell.
We have something new to add to our restraint/suppression of enemy forces: container attacks.
There is a whole host of malicious evil the enemy would love to bring to bear all at once against humanity (if they could) but the Restrainer holds the vast majority of it back. We have a job to do. Part of us leveling up into the highest/best version of ourselves is the vision and mission that is larger than us. If people do things just for themselves, when things get really tough they will quit. The vision and mission must be bigger than self and for us its much bigger. Our vision and mission is advancing the Kingdom of Almighty God, the Eternal One. We support and work with the Body of Christ, again much bigger than self. With our God we work for the salvation of souls in this age of Grace and restraint.
Today is the day of salvation. Today is the day to rise up, level up into the best version of ourselves-centered in the Will of our God with the purpose of advancing the Kingdom of God. Our prayers are powerful and effective. We need to continue to pray over all the prayer targets on a daily basis because going into next year there is alot on the line. Maybe the Lord comes back before new years, who knows? We must be ready for it. And, we must be ready to hold the line, and advance the battle standard of the Lord our King Jesus Christ who is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords to the glory of God our Father.

This fall of 2025 we continue to watch and wait for the Lord's decision-whether He is going to return this year for His Church. It is the fall feasts that have yet to be fulfilled. Fall time is harvest time, a perfect season for the Lord to return-whenever He decides to do that. This servant has sensed the Lord's guidance to shift from a predictive language set to preparatory. In other words, He wants us prepared and preparing not sitting around predicting days and hours which He already told us we will not know.
We prepare for the return of the Lord through our ongoing work. We are to level up into the highest/best versions of ourselves, centered in His Will. We are to put to work all of the talents, skills, abilities given to us in service to the Kingdom. We are to ask ourselves every day: "how can I get 1% better today?" We get 1% better every day and we stack our victories. Again, why? Not for ourselves but for the Kingdom and our King. This is what we were put here to do. We are not here for ourselves. We are here to serve Him which by extension means serving those around us.
The Lord God's gift to the world was His only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Which means we are a part of that gift as we are by definition the Body of Christ. We are to walk as He did in this world. In this season the Lord God has impressed strongly the need to finish this story as it began: in love. 1 Cor 13 and 1 John 4 stand out. Love is the beginning of our story and the never ending end to it. It is love that separates us from this world. It is love that separates us from the left. They operate in an ideology of hate, we operate in one of love. It really is that simple.
So, as we continue to level up in our talents, skills and abilities, in His service, centered in His Will, we wrap it all up and keep it together with a gift wrap of love. We love now because first He loved us.
1 John 3
16This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
We have been leveling up for some time now and it is this servants understanding that we are to do so until the Lord comes back or we "graduate" off this earth to heaven. The idea of leveling up is perfecting things and the Lord tell us that love brings us into this perfection (or completion):
1 Cor 13
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
To be clear, the Lord does not have to return unexpected during the fall but it seems reasonable to this servant that He would chose this season. We will continue to watch and pray always as we were instructed to however since we are in the fall season, and there may be an increased chance during this season the Lord shows up for us, let us up our watching and readiness game in preparation of the return of our King. If He shows up this fall-great, we are watching and we pray we will be ready. If He delays-not as great-but we continue to do our job, working to spread the faith, hope and love of the Lord our God to this lost and dying world.
This is a note of encouragement for you to continue doing what it is the Lord God put you here to do. We are dearly loved children ♡.

We continue to watch for the Lord's return this watching season of 2025. Between Feast of Trumpets and Hannukah (anti-Christ nexus) is primetime. With that said, should this season pass and world events continue to scream at us "The Lord returns soon!" do we stop watching and readiness? No. We continue however long it takes for the Lord to come down and get us or for us to "graduate" off this earth.
The warfare if one of the signs that we are not the only ones who believe this season is primetime. "They" believe the Lord is standing at the door as well which is why they have upped their spiritual pressure on the Church. How do we deal with this enemy full court press? We go deeper in the Word and prayer. We go back to our source of strength, patience and perseverance over and over again as often as necessary. The Spirit of the Lord impressed upon the nobody your servant that the Word of God, your Bible is a limitless resource for us to mine for all of the things we need.
The Lord God would have us encouraged today. It is His Intent that we finish strong. We are to level up into the best, highest version of ourselves today centered in His Will. We are to come to Him for the strength we need to do what we need to do. Ultimately we are reliant on Him for everything. We do not roll out of bed in the morning without Him. We take each breath and enjoy each heart beat by His Grace and Mercy. We rely on Him for these things and everything else. He knows we are needy, its okay He designed us this way. A lamp does not operate without oil, He is the oil that makes the lamp shine.
Keep the faith, we are dearly loved children ♡

Luke 21
34“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. 35For it will come on 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.”
Always watching^^^? Not just watching on Feast days^^^? What does "always" mean? It means watching every day. He told us this same thing in multiple different places through multiple writers in the Bible. Same idea. Its going to be a regular day, an ordinary day. What does the warning in verse 34 point to? Stuff people do on ordinary days.
Todays writing is to encourage you to persevere and be patient.
Rev 3:10
10Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.
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 ones, 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.
Taking extra oil is a precautionary, preparatory step in order to wait while still maintaining readiness. All the things that need to be in place are in place for the Lord to begin the time of Jacob's trouble, and yet He waits.
2 Peter 3
8But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. a
11Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. b That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
14So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.
When the Restrainer is removed this world plunges into deep darkness. Today is the day of salvation. The Restrainer is at work on the face of the earth today. We are part of that Restraint-we are salt and light in this world. Salt restrains rot and decay and light restrains or drives out darkness. Our presence here means salvation for thousands and millions who would perish in their sins otherwise. There is a revival taking place right now outside the walls of the Nicolaitan, Babylonian churches. That revival must run its course.
While we are anxious to be with the Lord, our primary concern as servants is to carry out the Will of our Master. His desire, His Will before our will. This will require patience. We understand that yes, the Lord can come back today or any day of His choosing and we must be ready for that. At the same time we must be prepared to wait however long it takes for the Lord to do all He desires in this earth before He pulls His people out of here.
The Lord knows how to adjust the timeline to make it work to perfection. The tower of Babel is an appropriate example for our day as the last Kingdom on earth is revived Babylon-not revived Rome:
Rev 18
1After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. 2With a mighty voice he shouted:
“ ‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ a
She has become a dwelling for demons
and a haunt for every impure spirit,
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.
3For all the nations have drunk
the maddening wine of her adulteries.
The kings of the earth committed adultery with her,
and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”
We read nothing, zero, nada about "revivied Rome" in the book of Revelation. Rome is not mentioned at all. Babylon however, is. Now, back to our example of the Lord's restraint at the tower of Babel:
Gen 11
1Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2As people moved eastward, a they found a plain in Shinar b and settled there.
3They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
8So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9That is why it was called Babel c —because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
And this exact same push is at work today. In fact the EU pariament building is a revived tower of babel:
The people of this world would have had nothing impossible for them, that is until the Lord stepped in and sent them packing. The enemy is up to the same thing again and our Lord's bag of tricks to send them packing is endless. So, even though it looks like they may be successful at any moment implementing their new world demonic Babylonian world order-our Lord has an ongoing veto on those plans that is the Restrainer, of which we are part.
We need to take a time out from time to time to see things from the Lord's point of view.
So, yes we need to be watching and ready today for the Lord to arrive. We also need to have the patient endurance the church at Philadelphia had so we can do our job here on earth at the highest level. Which brings us to todays final point that is the constant consistent thread the Spirit of the Lord has woven for years. We are to finish strong. We have been in the process of leveling ourselves up into the highest, best versions of ourselves for the purpose of serving the Kingdom. We are not hiding in a basement somewhere watching the world burn down around us.
We are to be engaged. We are to be a mobile weapons platform for spiritual warfare, carrying the payload known as the Spirit of the Lord who can break every chain, set captives free, raise the dead, etc etc. We bring that payload wherever we step foot. Our mission field is the grocery store, the gym, the workplace, and wherever else we step foot on a daily basis. Who is going to shine the light of our Lord Jesus Christ in these places we step foot every day if it is not us?
We yield our will to His Will, every day. We refill ourselves in prayer every day, topping off our oil stores. We are prepared in season and out of season:
2 Tim 4:
1In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
Can your "pastor" preach to the lost everywhere you step foot every day? No, they cannot even if they wanted to. That is why you were sent to walk in those places. And that is both the sin and the condemnation of the Nicolaitan Babylonian centralized suppress the sheep system that is condemned to the pits of hell.
Matt 9
35Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
So, in summary today be ready for the Lord to return at a moments notice and be about the Lord's work on this earth while we wait. It will help us in this patience to adopt His love for the lost as we do our work- which leads us back to 1 Cor 13 and 1 John 4. Love is both the foundation and the captstone of our Lord's Kingdom.

This morning the Lord flashed a "Help Wanted" sign in this servants mind and follow up with an image of it hanging over the planet. The earth and all who inhabit it, need help whether they know it or not. We, the Church, the Body of Jesus Christ our Lord are that help. Not the "pastors" priests, or rabbis-you are the help. You are the calvary riding in to save the day, you are the knight in shining armor. As a believer you carry within you the ultimate payload, that is the Spirit of the Most High God. He works in and through you and all the rest of us to accomplish His Will.
He is doing this work in the ordinary, every day places we frequent-at work, at the gym, at the store-etc. That is the "mission field" for most of us. The Lord has sent His servants where He wants them and needs them. There are some places that seem quite ordinary to you that are a direct assignment from the Lord. It is a place no one else but you can get the job done for what the Lord has in mind for you to do there. You might not even know what exactly that job for the Lord, that deliverable is. It could just be a well spoken word at just the right time that you dont even realize you say when you say it. Its the Lord speaking through you.
This is a word of encouragement to continue to prepare for the unexpected arrival of the Lord at any moment while we continue to do our job here on earth for the Kingdom of Heaven. The season between now and Hannukah looks quite promising however this servant has received no "confirmations" of anything. The Lord is going to show up on an unexpected day and hour-we know that. We will spend our time preparing instead of predicting. Whenever He decides to arrive is fine with us, just please dont leave us behind ♡
The warfare in this season has been intense because this servant believes the enemy knows what time it is and has implemented a full court press to prevent anyone from escaping to the Kingdom. The weird feeling or sense you have is not your imagination. It is warfare taking place all around you in the unseen realm of the spirit as well as the great separation taking place on earth before its final act takes place in the air.
If you cannot sprint toward the finish line, then jog, if you cant jog, then walk, if you cant walk then crawl, if you cant crawl then low crawl but never stop, never quit, never for one moment halt your progress toward the objective.

Mark 13
32“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard! Be alert e ! You do not know when that time will come. 34It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
35“Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’ ”
The Lord told us He is coming back for us at an unknown day and hour that nobody including our Lord the Son of God knows ^^^. He also tells us that we have been put in charge, each with our assigned tasks and we are to keep watch for His unexpected return. He tells us there in Mark 13 that each of us has been given assigned tasks. When He arrives for us we are to be found doing what we were assigned to do. This is a perfect tie in with all of Matthew 25 both the parable of the virgins and the talents. We are to be ready in and out of season, prepared to wait for however long it take our Lord to arrive and we are to put to use the talents, skills, abilities (whatever we have been given by the Lord God) to advance His Will and His Kingdom.
This servant has no idea when the Lord might come back but has his radar peaked in this fall season between Feast of Trumpets and Hannukah. Prophetic events continue to stack up around us, this servant is seeing 1:11, 11:11, 2:22, 22:22, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55 usually multiple times in the same day-every day. What does it mean? This servant believes it means we should be paying attention. It is an attention getter that we should be watching and ready. It also suggests the agreement and alignment with our Lord and each other that directly ties in with us agreeing with Him and each other in prayer, with His Will and Word, and last but most important binds it all together with love.
Nobody makes it into Heaven without love. This servant was troubled by the following scripture for years:
Matt 7
21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
This should trouble and shake everyone who calls themselves Christian because that is clearly what He is talking about and who He is talking to. They did all kinds of religious stuff in our Lord's Name, but they didn't make it into the Kingdom. Why not? It is answered directly in 1 Cor 13. It is also answered in 1 John 4 with the same reasoning:
1 John 4
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
It was just impressed while writing these words that this strong impression of the need to perfect the final piece of the puzzle, is in itself a strong sign that the Lord may be close to returning. The Spirit of the Lord has taught us, instructed us for years now very patiently to prepare us for the return of the Lord. The general messaging coming through this blog since the scamdemic (2020) or so has been about the need to develop our talents, skills and abilities-centered in His Will. And that's all great, but without love its absolutely worthless.
This final leg of the journey is to be done perfecting faith, hope and love but the greatest of these is love:
1 Cor 13:13
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
And we are to do this without forgetting to do our job, employing all that we have been given by the Lord God to do His bidding on the earth. Ironically, love is the great divider.
John 13:35
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
If we look out at the political landscape we see a stark divide between the left and right. The leftists are filled with hate. Thats it. Many on the left have commented when they went to Trump rallies they were met with smiling happy people not the insane, demonic hatred we see in the ideology and people of the left.
They hate, we love-the great divide. It really is that simple. Why cant the left just leave us alone in peace? Because they are filled with hate that must consume and devour like their father the devil.
So, to keep this short we are to perfect our walk in love in the days we have left on the earth. We are to love more, hope more, and be more faithful than ever before. We are being called higher-first figuratively (leveling up), then physically in the harpazo/rapture. The great separation has already started and many have missed it. The separation does have something to do with our works, but in the ends it mostly has to do with love or the lack thereof.

The Lord likes to explain things to this servant in military terms since that is a framework brother D understands. With that in mind it was impressed yesterday that our current situation is similar to a country A and country B located side by side. One day country B sends half its army to the border of country A. That is not "confirmation" that country B plans to attack country A but should raise country A's readiness posture. Soon after moving half its army, country B then moves its artillery into support range of its army. Again, its not confirmation of anything but it does require an increase in readiness posture for country A. Then country B forward deploys its air assets into strike range of country A. Again, not confirmation they are going to attack but with each new piece of "coincidental" information the picture of what is likely to happen becomes more clear.
So it is with us. Which leads to the next thought the Lord gave brother D. If we forgot names and just talked circumstances what would our assessment be of this situation: A major world leader is going around making peace deals across the world. Specifically and importantly he has made or set forth a peace agreement between Israel and her many enemies that is now being worked out. The guy going around making peace deals is also being given crowns by world leaders. Meanwhile, a red heifer has been sacrificed recently for the first time in over 2000 years (since the second temple was built in 30-70 CE). Wars and rumors of wars continue. Major earthquakes continue to appear on a regular basis. There have recently been major signs in the heavens (great American eclipse finale was last year-2024 with X over America or cross-roads). And this isn't even all of it but if we removed the name Trump and just told you it was some guy what would your conclusion be?
This ^^^ is similar to the fictional setup between country A and country B we discussed previously. The combination of events, and the timing of those events suggest outcomes to us that are not "confirmed" but increase probability which would lead the prudent or wise person to increase their readiness and preparedness posture. So it should be with us.
As we see all of these things take place around us we should be increasing our watchfulness, readiness and or preparedness to meet the Lord our King. He told us how the wise would do this. The wise would be ready to meet the Bridegroom at a moments notice and also be ready to wait however long it took for Him to show up if He delays. We want to be wise which means we need to be ready for the Lord to show up for us at any moment, and at the same time we need to pack a lunch so we are ready to wait however long it takes for Him to show up if He decides to delay.
There are many things we do not know. We should spend more time working on all the things we do know. We do know we should be watching for our Lord's return and as we see events in the world line up suggesting He is at the door, we should all the more double and triple down on our preparedness. What are all the things we would do if we knew for sure the Lord would come back in a few days? We need to be doing those things now. While we have no idea what day or hour the Lord will come back we do know this season is absolutely overflowing with prophetic potential.
This is not rocket science. Love the Lord. Spend time with Him. Do what He tells you to do. Up your life game. Level up your talents, skills and abilities and pray that you will be found in the center of His Will each and every day. Continue to pray for and with all the brothers and sisters in Christ. Do your job. What do you believe you were put here on earth to do? If you dont know, look to the gifts you have been given and to the Spirit of the Lord who put them there. Rise up. Level up. With these remaining days strain toward the very best version of yourself in order to finish the race strong.
The separation that will take place on the day of the harpazo/rapture will be the last phase of an ongoing (meaning now) separation that is taking place invisibly and almost imperceptibly even to those who will be taken in the rapture. Decisions are being made now to forsake this world and all that it has to offer. Decisions are being made now that if the Lord comes back we want to go and the people of this world can have this world, we want our Savior. So the process is already underway. The day of the rapture will just be the final box to check on a long checklist that is being worked through in our days (right now). We are to prepare ourselves to meet our Lord, soon.
"But brother D what if the Lord delays?" Then great, we will be found doing what we were supposed to be doing in a season we expected our Lord to show up. We are prepared to leave, and equally prepared to stay as long as it takes for our Lord to come get us. That is called a win/win situation. This servants understanding is the time between now and Hannukah 2025 is especially rich with potential which means we should up our game during this time. If this season passes and we are still here with prophetic events landing around us left, right and center we do not kick our feet up on the desk and call it "mission accomplished" we continue to work while we watch. We can do this. We will do this with the strength and patience our Lord provides :).

Eph 6
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
A bunch of useful stuff in the passages up there ^^^. We now have a muslim communist ruling over a major US city (NYC) similar to what has been the case for years in London. The enemy just keeps coming, trying to gain a foothold wherever they can, whenever they can. The problem for them is, the Lord so far has seen fit to have His Church remain on the face of the earth. The Church with the indwelling Holy Spirit is the Restrainer as far as this servant can tell. The Word is very clear that we the Church are salt and light in this world which means we restrain the darkness, rot and decay.
18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests
This ^^^ suggests strongly to us that we are to be praying over every situation, all the time. It is a full time job. Its kind of like a game of whack-a-mole plus. Every time the enemy pops up some new demonic plot, plan, agenda or narrative we are to suppress it with all of the spiritual tools at our disposal. The restraint and suppression of enemy plots and plans must now include stopping the inroads they are trying to create with muslim communists.
The enemy is busy but so is the Lord our God. We are here because we need to be here to do the Will of the Lord our God who put us here.
1 Tim 6:12
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
We are engaged in a fight as we can see in both Eph 6 which speaks of war and 1 Tim which speaks of the fight. People who engage in war and fighting on a large scale and over a prolonged period of time are called soldiers-that would be us.
2 Tim 2:3
Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
The Lord could come back for us at any moment, but until He does-we are here to engage the enemy and save as many souls as possible. We are also here, primarily to know and love the Lord our God-to walk with Him and talk with Him. He comes first, everything else is secondary.
Mark 12:30
30And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ [l]This is the first commandment. 31And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
John 13
34“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
We have discussed at length here the need for us to level up into the highest, best versions of ourselves, centered in His Will. At the very tippy top of the ladder of us becoming the very best versions of ourselves is love for our God and love for one another. It is the capstone and the foundation of who we are and what we do. While this world is going from bad to worse, we are rising up both literally and figuratively in every way possible. The Lord our God would have us finish the race strong.
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 someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
The Lord could arrive on any day. Trump has been given crowns both in his current term and previous term.
Rev 6
1I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
This servant is not making assumptions about Trump but rather observing correlations between what has been written and current events. In addition to crowns being handed out we have peace deal in the making in the middle east, wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes all over the place, food prices ridiculous:
Rev 6
5When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds a of wheat for a day’s wages, b and six pounds c of barley for a day’s wages, d and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
And more, and all of it overlayed nicely on top of the rapture season we have been watching this year from Feast of Trumpets 2025 through Hannukah 2025. To be clear this servant is predicting nothing. This nobody predicts nothing while preparing in watchfulness and readiness for everything at any time. Lets think this through, all of the events that are now underway will be developing further after Hannukah this year, does that mean we stop watching and preparing for the Lord's arrival? No, because that would be foolish. The Lord picks the day. It would be some ordinary plain Jane day somewhere in nowhere Jan 2026, who knows? We certainly do not. So we must be watching and ready now, and into the indefinite future as we watch events unfold exactly as our Lord told us they would.
While we remain here on the earth, please join this servant in praying over everything-all the time.

The communists won the race for mayor in Babylon (NYC) last night along with the race for Governor in Virginia and NJ. The Republican Party is no bargain but the Democrats have straight up sold their souls to demons. Any victory of the demonic democrat party should be a call to prayer, fasting and repentance. Our job here as salt and light is to restrain/bind/rebuke the demonic darkness, rot and decay.
While the demonic party celebrates their victories, events in the Middle East suggest the Lord's return could be sooner rather than later. We have entered the rapture window of 2025 from Feast of Trumpets through Hannukah. We do not have to predict days or hours the Lord may come back however we should be aware of the seasons we are living in. This season happens to overlay with peace negotiations between Israel and her enemies. The stage is set for the covenant with many which takes place after the Church has been pulled off the earth which means it could be any day, any hour, including today.
This calls for an increased sense of watchfulness and readiness. How we watch and ready ourselves is through prayer, fasting and doing our job so when the Lord does appear we will not be ashamed at His arrival. We will be found doing what we should be doing. While we watch and wait we need to proceed at a pace that allows us to continue indefinitely. We cannot afford rapture fatigue and or burnout. We avoid that by avoiding the continual date setting which results in continual disappointment because the Lord's unexpected arrival is only going to take place once at the time of His choosing not the time of our guessing.
The wise virgins were wise because they were prepared to leave and prepared with extra oil to wait as long as it took for the Lord to arrive for them. Rev 3:10 also commends the Church for their patience. The Lord could have handed the US over to the demoncrats last year but He did not. The combination of events we see around us appears to be a treading of water with a slow walk towards the time of Jacob's trouble instead of a freight train barreling down the tracks with its throttle pegged to the wall. The Lord has the timing worked out per Ecc 3:1-there is a time and season for all things under Heaven.
We keep our eyes on Him, and He will make sure we are positioned for success. The guidance we have received is to level up into the highest/best versions of ourselves centered in His Will. His Will is for us to finish the race strong not come skidding across the finish line by the seat of our pants in a heaping mess. If you lack clarity on what you personally need to be doing, seek His Face.
We need to practice assymetric spiritual warfare against this world and the enemy. The strength of this world and the enemy is its systems, the electronics, the internet, the computers, the cell phones, the digital prison being constructed around us. The counter for this is to unplug, turn it off, get alone, get silent, go to lonely places to pray as our Lord did. The answer to the modern era of digital slavery is old school, ancient prayer, stillness, quietness and meditation on the Word and Will of God.
We don't have to figure everything out-our Lord Commander already did all that. We just have to keep our eyes on Him and quiet our environment so we can hear His voice. He is not going to compete with our cell phones and other endless distractions. We are going to have to put Him first as an act of our will.
The enemy has won some battles, we already know they lose this war. Keep the faith.

The best way to prepare for the unexpected arrival of the Lord is to be doing our job on a day in and day out basis. At least part of our job is using all of our God given talents, skills and abilities per Matt 25 parable of the talents (using what you have been given) for the Kingdom of God. In addition to our talents, skills, abilities and being centered in His Will is the bond of love, or the wrapping up of everything we are and do with love per 1 Cor 13, and 1 John 3-4.
If we were to paint a word picture of what we are leveling up it would be with these words:
love
faithfulness
rejoicing
thanksgiving
praise
talents
skills
abilities
Love is first on the list for a reason but all the other words are interchangeable in importance. Love is the rope, the strap or the glue that binds all things together.
So, in our process of leveling up we add love in to perfect everything else we are doing. Without it, everything else we are doing, all our "good works" are dead as doornails (see 1 Cor 13 again for the details). The Lord God Holy Spirit is perfecting His people now, while we are on the earth in preparation for being caught up above the earth to meet our Lord Jesus Christ in the air.
We do not have to guess or predict about days or hours. There has been way way too much of that over the past few months. Its enough to know that the Lord's arrival could be any day. Our process must be sustainable. We must be able to sustain our patient pace toward the finish line (with endurance) in order to accommodate the patience of the Lord:
2 Peter 3:15
Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.
Heb 10:36
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
Rev 3:10
10Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.
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 ones, 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.
6“At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7“Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9“ ‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10“But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11“Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’
12“But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
13“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
The wise virgins were ready for the Bridegroom to appear today, and they were prepared as part of their process-to wait as long as it takes for the Bridegroom to arrive in His own good perfect timing.
There is a love and mercy component to this patient waiting. The patience of the Lord means salvation for millions. The revival is ongoing but it is being missed by many in the dead and dying nicolaitan churches because the Lord is not limited to manmade organizations to accomplish all that He desires. We are seeing prayer meetings at the 50 yard line, in front of the cameras at college football games across the country. It is just one example of a broader revival that is underway, bypassing the nicolaitan/babylonian organizations created by man and suppressed/oppressed by demonic ideology and doctrine.
In case anyone thinks brother d has lost his marbles on this nicolaitan church idea, note that the Lord complains about it twice in Revelation saying He hates their practices. If the Lord hates the nicolaitan doctrines/practices so should we...Nico means conquer or victory over, laitan=laity or all the "common folk" non-pastor, non-priest types. In other words, the "lay people" which is never found in the Bible anywhere by the way, are to lay down and shut up while the so called "experts" lead and guide us to the promised land. Except that doctrine is antithetical to everything we read in the Bible. We, the "lay people" are to be out doing all the heavy lifting for the Kingdom. We are to walk like Jesus did, in signs, wonders and miracles-doing even greater things than He did by His own Will and desire as stated in His Word:
John 14
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
Breaking the demonic shackles of the nicolaitan "lay person" doctrine is part of our leveling up process. The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy. The nicolaitan "lay person" doctrine kills, steals and destroys multiple areas of scripture that commands us to go forth and walk as Jesus did. Nothing whatsoever in the Bible, not one line anywhere even hints at believers being "lay people."
It is time to level up. Why hasn't the demonic doctrine of the Nicolaitans been exposed and destroyed sooner? The last book, or final chapter in the Book is Revelation or the revealing of things.
This process we are going through of leveling up into the very best versions of ourselves for the purpose of service to the Kingdom is tied into the Lord's impression on this servants heart that He has saved the best for last. The last version of you is to be the best. Our Lord would have us finish strong. So if we suspect our Lord may return for us soon, we should be about His business with an earnestness and a purpose.
We are dearly loved children.
