Back in the Saddle

 Thanks be to the Lord to rescued your servant from the "common cold."  Since the last post, Trump has renewed attacks on Iran but that's not really a new thing-it's a continuation of an old thing.  What has the Lord said over the past few weeks?  The same exact message as before:  level up, center in His Will, pray for the 2026 spiritual awakening, as well as repentance and revival in the Church.

The Lord provided a few mental images to help illustrate what we are doing here.  We are the lamp, the Spirit is the oil that powers that lamp.  But what happens when that lamps glass becomes cloudy, or not clear?  The light cannot pass through into the world as it should.  We must get out of the way.  We become less, He becomes more.  Our "glass" must be almost invisible or crystal clear so you don't really see the glass, all you see is the light coming through it.

We are standing in alignment and agreement with Him and then with each other.  We are living 2026 as a year of faith, hope and love.  And love is the greatest.  Read 1 Cor 13 and 1 John 4.  Nobody gets into Heaven without love.  Hate is at the vanguard of the enemy's army, Love is at the vanguard of ours.  In order to practice the kind of love we need, like loving our enemies we must die to ourselves and live in, with, and through our Lord Jesus Christ.  We can only do what we need to do in Him, with Him and through Him.  This was never supposed to be the Lone Ranger show.

This year we up our game.  Will the Lord come back this year?  Maybe, maybe not.  He never told us to predict, He told us over and over to prepare.  The wise virgins came prepared with extra oil for their lamps.  When the Lord arrives, we will be ready for Him not because we predicted the day or hour or season but because we live in a state of perpetual preparedness.  

There is a lot going on in the world right now and between now and the end of this year it's only going to increase.  The midterms are coming up, there is war and moving chess pieces everywhere we look.  What do we do about all this?  We do our job.  What did the Lord God put us here to do?  Do that.  And while we do that, we remember to do it all wrapped in love because without love everything comes to a screaming, epic halt.  People can do all the "works" they want to, without love it's all worth nothing.  If we look at how the Lord has prepared us over the past few years and how He now has us on the capstone issue of love tieing everything together, we could guess that our Lord's unexpected arrival is not far off.

Maybe getting things right at the end buys this world some more time.  Who knows, regardless of which it is-we do our job.  We work, and pray and love as thought the Lord is coming back today and we cannot possibly miss the unexpected day He arrives for us.

So, in summary this servant has heard nothing new from the Lord.  What this servant hears and sees is staying the exact same course He has had us on for months and years.  Continue to do your job while we remember that our first "ministry" or duty is to Him personally.  We are to love Him, spend time with Him, walk with Him, talk with Him-you know, stuff people do in a real relationship.  Everything else will take care of itself.

Trump Ready to Announce Aliens?

 Trump Ready To Announce Aliens...

"Aliens" is the number one candidate for the great deception.  If they mainstream this soon it may not be long before our Lord pulls us out of here.  The Lord may/could possibly have us here on earth for a short while after disclosure however the clock would really be spinning on fast forward because the Church will not be here when the anti-Christ is revealed.  We, the Church, filled with the Spirit of the Lord are the restrainer that holds the anti-Christ back from being revealed.

We remain in the soft disclosure rollout phase for now.  If Trump comes out with a hard disclosure we move to the next phase and we need to have our bags packed and next to the front door ready for Heavenly evac.

Does this make sense in light of everything else the Lord has been sharing?  Perfectly.  He has had us in a continual, multi-year process of leveling up so we can be leveled out of this world when the time is right.

Again, no need for prediction, however we need to be in a daily, never ending state of preparation to leave this place when our Lord determines the time is right.

Leveling Up: Walking Like Jesus Did

 1 John 2:6 (various translations):

"Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked." (or "ought to walk in the same way in which he walked," ESV; "must live as Jesus did," NIV).

Ok, great but what does that mean?  Next question is, how did Jesus walk?  Most obvious answer is: 1. He walked in love and 2. signs, wonders and miracles.  <----This is how we graduate to the next level which will take place when we either leave of natural causes or our Lord snatches us out of here.

Now for the really important part.  Signs, wonders and miracles are not just for "pastors" priests and rabbis.  You are the one supposed to be walking in these things, otherwise the command the Lord gave us is both impossible and nonsensical.  Which leads us to the demonic doctrine of the Nicolaitans which teaches that believers are somehow "lay people."  Find that in a Bible for me please?  I'm begging you really, please find it....You cant because its not in there.  Let me show you what is in your Bible:

John 14:12

Very truly I tell you, whoever (not pastors, preists, or rabbis) 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.

John 14:12 is in direct alignment and agreement with 1 John 2:6.  There are no "average" believers, we were created with the intent to walk and operate as our Lord Jesus did, and do greater things (His Word, not mine).  Why?  For His Glory.

2026 is the year of spiritual awakening, and repentance and revival in the Church.  It is also a year where believers are to be leveling up into the best version of themselves which means operating at the highest level or increasingly higher levels in all their talents, gifts and abilities which includes espcially and primarily spiritual giftings, but also includes everything else.

If you have never stopped to think about what the best, 100% version of yourself looks like, speaks like, acts like.  You need to do that now.  If you are a believer that version of you is going to be aligned and in agreement with our Lord, centered in His Will.

You are the answer to someone else's problem.  Some of us have been sent after 1, some of us after 1,000s and some after millions or more.  Each of us has a vision and mission assigned to us and while that is unique, what is not unique is all of our missions work together under the framework of His grand plan.

2026 is also the year of faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love.  Nobody makes it into the Kingdom without love which is why many will say to our Lord one day "But Lord Lord we did this that and other things in your Name" and He tells them away from me you evil doers.  No love, no Heaven, no Kingdom, no future.

This is how we finish strong.  The Lord could come back at any moment.  The best way to be ready for that is preparation not predicting times and dates.  Lets spend our time doing hard things and getting better.  Lets spend our time doing the job we were put here to do in and around the people we were put here to serve.  While we do all this lets us grow our relationship and love for our Creator which is our primary mission above all else.

We are dearly loved children.

Leveling Up

 

Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”

Galatians 2:20 — "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

In order for us to level up into the highest, best version of ourselves we have to die to ourselves first.  Sounds ironic, to the world it may sound moronic but this world has never and will never understand the wisdom of God.  Our Lord created the ruleset for this game of life, so regardless how it sounds to us, when the Game Master or Rulemaker tells us "this is how its done" we do it that way.

The Kingdom of God is within us:

Luke 17:20-21 (KJV): "And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

We have the Lord Holy Spirit living within us.  Our Father, our Lord Jesus Christ living within us.  So all the ingredients for producing fire(power) in our life is there.  What's the missing ingredient?  We have to get out of the way (die to ourselves).  We agree with Him, we align with Him, we yield to Him so He can shine through and do the work He wants to do in this world.  

2 Cor 12:10

NIV (New International Version): "That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." (2 Corinthians 12:10)

ESV (English Standard Version): "For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

KJV (King James Version): "Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."

Here ^^^ we are saying the same thing, same idea in a different way.  Yes, we are doing everything together.  We are agreeing to allow Him to do all the heavy lifting while we do our 1% or less part of the lifting which by the way, He fully expects us to do with all our limited strength.  He has to do it, we have to allow Him to do it.  We have to agree, and align, and die to ourselves so He can do His job through us, in us, with us.  Me must be turned upside down into We.  Him, in us, us the Church united in thought, purpose, faith, hope and love.  

Right now we are to be leveling up into the best version of ourselves in Him, centered in His Will in preparation for literally being caught up into the clouds with Him at the time of His choosing.  When that will be this servant does not know.  Preparation>prediction all day long.

We die to self all day long so we can operate with Him according to the process He has set up for that to happen.  We die to self all day so we can love our enemies, in Christ, with Christ, through Christ.  We cant do this stuff alone and we certainly cannot do it with "self" standing in the way however someone who has died to self can start doing all these things that are impossible to do in the flesh with "self."

This idea needed to go out to you today.  Your brother David is tired and probably missed some important points that were impressed earlier today but brother D was told to put it out now, so here is the post.  Explore, pray over this idea, inquire of the Lord what He would tell you along these lines in your journey of leveling up in Him.

Please remember to pray over all the prayer requests.  2026 is the year of spiritual awakening, repentance and revival in the Church and faith, hope and love.  One last point seemingly off track but the Lord stated earlier today its not up to "swing voters" or independents or polls or parties that will determine the future of America-it is the Church:

2 Chron 7:14

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

We, the Christians, the Church are those literally called by His Name.  What we do ^^^ or do not do will determine the future and fate of this country.  Go to war with complacency.  Do hard things, get better.  Level up.

Agreement and Alignment

 In order to do our jobs the way we are supposed to, we must be in agreement and alignment with our Lord.

John 15:

5“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples

1 John 5:14

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

We are in the age of grace presently.  The Church continues to restrain on the earth indwelt by the Spirit of the Lord God who works in us, with us and through us to effect His Will throughout the earth.  Nowhere in the Bible do you see an instruction for us to wring our hands in anxiety over all the plans the enemy has.  Rather, its the opposite.  The enemies of the cross should be worried about all of the things the Lord God has planned for this world.

We are aware of the enemy's constant scheming and we pray constant, consistent binding, restraint, and suppression over all of it.  We spend more of our time however centered in what the Lord is planning and doing throughout the earth.  The Church remains on the earth in this age of grace therefore souls are at the forefront.  Faith, hope and love are at the forefront.  War on complacency is at the forefront.  

The Lord God has had us on a multi year development plan to be ready to leave this earth whenever the time appears right to Him.  The past few years have been about agreement and alignment now that remains a requirement however more is being added on that foundation.  We are to level up into the highest, best versions of ourselves-centered in His Will (agreement and alignment).  That has obedience baked into it.  Without obedience there is no agreement or alignment or love.  It all works together.  We are to be faith, hope and love projectors on this earth.  Wherever we go, faith, hope and love shows up because He is in us, and we are in agreement with Him.

We are told not to worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will worry about itself, that just leaves today.  Today is the day of salvation, today is the day of action, today is the day to fast and pray.  Today is the day to bind and loose.  If we take care of our business today, tomorrow will take care of itself.  That is the process in a nutshell.  We are at war with complacency today.  We are busy with our Lord's work today, fully invested, fully involved, fully committed-today.

We who believe and take these things seriously will not be caught again with our feet up on the table, in apathy and complacency while the devil and his minions run roughshod over the world in a demonic free for all.  NEVER AGAIN.  When the Lord pulls His Church off the earth, then we can relax.  Until then it is GAME ON.  Sorry for the caps but this is important.  We have set before us life and death, blessing and curses:

Deut 30

11Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. 12It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 13Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 14No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.

15See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. 16For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.

17But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them, 18I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.

19This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Getting Left Behind

 There was a movie called "left behind" about the rapture and those who did not make it.  The Spirit of the Lord impressed upon this servant today that getting left behind is not a one day event, its starting even now.  How so?  The Lord has had us on a multi-year "development plan" to have us ready for the event whenever it happens.  Last year or two was all about agreement and alignment.  That year or two was necessary to proceed to leveling up, operating in power etc right now.  We are to be walking as Jesus did.

How many people are still operating in complacency today?  How much "church" is being played the same way today it was two years ago?  Are you seeing any more power?  Experiencing any more presence of the Lord?  Seeing signs, wonders, miracles?  No? No? and No?  Getting left behind is more of a process than an event.  The Lord is moving on with or without people as much as it breaks His Heart to leave any behind.  The world is moving on too.  Under Trump 2.0 the new demonic order is still progressing, just at a different speed than the satanic freefall under Joey Diapers and the cackling hyena.

This is going to be short but your servant wanted to write it down before forgetting what was given today.  We are to be at war with complacency right now.  We are to be leveling up and becoming the best versions of ourselves right now.  We are rising up right now in preparation for a literal getting caught up in the clouds at some point only the Lord knows.  On that subject the annual prediction contests are starting again with hour to two hour long videos of day counts, start alignments, this that and the other reason why "this time its different" than the other 40+ times they have been wrong about the day and hour the Lord will show up.  The Word preaches preparation over prediction.  The process as this servant understands it today is a process not an event.  People trying to time the Lord's arrival are in for a big disappointment.

Those who are not in the process of being ready right now will likely not be ready regardless on the day He arrives unexpectedly for us.  Yes, its going to be a surprise even for those who are ready.  "Oh but brother D the Lord never does anything without revealing it to His prophets?"  Oh, you mean the same people who tell us over and over again "I am not a prophet and don't claim to be a prophet" then proceed to try and forecast when the Lord will arrive?  Process and preparation is better than prediction.  The rapture fatigue hit critical mass last year and the Lord did counsel us there is a better way that aligns and agrees better with scripture.

Can we still pay attention and be ready during the feast days?  Sure, but we are not predicting or "confirming" anything.  We are to be watching and ready for the Lord's unexpected return every day...Not just on the feast days or whatever the flavor of the month day is going to be this year.  The Lord could arrive unexpectedly today and it seems more likley it would happen on a "regular" ordinary plain day like today or days like today than when everyone and their brother is actually peaking their attention on a day.  That said, we are to remember what the Lord has already done and what He promised to do in the future.  We are getting ready for those future events NOW, not in the fall of this year or on and around the feast days.

Its time to wake up.  The Lord in His Grace and Mercy has teed this golf ball up for us, handed us the perfect driver and told us how to swing on the ball to drive a hole in one.  We cant do any of that sitting on our butts with our feet up on the table waiting for Trump, the republicans or whoever else to "save us."  While we are here we are to be about our Lord's work.  That work is right now today.  Time to get busy...
