Love

 Nobody gets into the Kingdom of Heaven without love so we need to get this right.  How do we love our enemies?  How do we love all the brothers and sisters?  How do we love the seemingly unlovable?  Love has nothing to do with "feelings."  Yes, we can feel love but the Word of God and the Kingdom of God do not depend on feelings for advancement.  

Ps 9

1I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;

I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

2I will be glad and rejoice in you;

I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

That ^^^ statement "I will" is an egagement of willpower, discipline, purpose, and power.  "I will" has nothing, zero to do with how we "feel" about it.

Matt 11:12

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.

^^^This translation is brutal.  We can be sure nobody is "storming and taking the gates of heaven by force." That has a zero percent chance of success.  So what does Matt 11:12 mean?  It ties in directly with our post today:

The Greek and Why It's Tricky

The key words come from the root biazo (to use force, to press violently, or to storm something):

• "Has suffered violence" translates biazetai (the verb form). This can be read as passive ("is being violently attacked or treated with force") or middle voice ("is advancing forcefully" or "is forcefully breaking in").
• "The violent" translates biastai (forceful or violent people/men).
• "Take it by force" translates harpazousin (to seize, snatch, or plunder/carry away by force).

This creates real ambiguity, which is why translations and interpreters differ. There is no single "obvious" reading—scholars have debated it for centuries. Here are the main ways people understand it:

1. Negative/Passive Interpretation (Kingdom Under Attack): The kingdom is being opposed and assaulted by hostile forces ("the violent"). This fits the immediate events: Herod had just imprisoned John the Baptist (a violent act against the forerunner of the kingdom), and religious leaders were already criticizing and plotting against Jesus. "The violent" are opponents—like corrupt rulers, Pharisees, or hostile crowds—who try to seize, distort, or suppress the kingdom by force. The kingdom "suffers violence" as it faces persecution from the start. This reading emphasizes opposition and warns that God's work provokes resistance.
2. Positive/Forceful Interpretation (Eager Pressing In): The kingdom is breaking into the world with power ("forcefully advancing"), and eager, determined people are seizing the opportunity to enter it. "The violent" aren't literal thugs but those with intense zeal, urgency, and single-minded effort—like the crowds thronging to John and Jesus, or repentant sinners who "storm" the kingdom through radical response to the gospel. It's like a city under siege, but in reverse: people are pressing hard to get in, not out. This highlights the excitement and wholehearted commitment needed to respond to the kingdom's arrival. A parallel verse in Luke 16:16 says something similar: "the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone forces his way into it."

Forceful people are taking hold of the Kingdom of Heaven Matt 11 says, to this very day.  Willpower, discipline, purposeful, powerful people making dec-isions.  What is a decision?  de-away from, cision-to cut, put the two together it means to cut off other possibilities, or to "put away" other possibilities.  We make a decision to do what is good and pleasing in the eyes of our Lord.  We make a decision to love.  We engage our willpower, and discipline (force).  That is only part 1, we then align and agree with, in, and through our Lord Jesus Christ to do what He has Willed us to do which is to love.  Then, the key part is by the Power of the Holy Spirit, it gets done.

Notice through all of this ^^^ "feelings" had zero to do with it.

Love is the ticket that gets us into Heaven.  Our Lord died for us, in love and mercy.  We offer ourselves back to Him as living sacrifices.  We die to this world and all it has to offer, in love as a response.  We love our enemies, all the brothers and sisters and everyone else as a decision, with willpower, and with by and through the Spirit of Almighty God who loved first.  It will be the lack of love that prevents the enemies of the Cross of Christ from entering the Kingdom.

1 John 4

7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

13This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

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.

19We love because he first loved us. 20Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

1 Cor 13

1If I speak in the tongues ^a of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, ^b but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

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.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

The Lord spends ALOT of time on this topic, throughout the Bible.  This goes way beyond, feels good, nice to do, but optional.  Nope, love is the ticket.  Love is the only way anyone gets in so we need to get this right.

^^^The Lord has been preparing us for the end times, the last days and the rapture over the course of years now.  This world is in the process of conditioning people for something else.  As we see these things happening, our sense of urgency should increase.  When is the Lord going to come back unexpectedly?  We don't know, but the course this world is on suggests its probably not far away.  We do not predict, we prepare.  Noah was warned of a coming flood and he prepared an ark to escape.  We too have been warned of a different kind of flood coming for this world.  And a different kind of ark has been prepared for our escape.  Regardless of what you believe about the rapture, getting ready to meet Jesus one way or the other should be at the top of your list.

Maybe the Lord gives this world years, maybe He pulls the plug on it this year.  We are in the 7 month Feasts of the Lord window now.  The Feasts tell us what the Lord has already done and what He still plans to do.  Next up on the list is the rapture, the catching away (forcefully) of the Church which is foreshadowed by the Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah.  We are predicting nothing, the Lord already told us what He is going to do, now we prepare for when its going to happen.  The day it happens it will be a surprise even to believers.  Not this servant's opinion, that is the Word of God.  The wise virgins were prepared and ready in Matt 25, so we must be ready.

Love is the capstone.  Love was the beginning of this story and it will be the end.  This post was written to help someone out who cannot figure out how we do this.  How we do this is helped by understanding how we do not do it.  We do not love with feelings.  Feelings are an after effect, not a primary driver.  We make a decision to do what the Lord God told us to do.  We engage our willpower "I will" and we follow up with discipline, purpose and power (of the Holy Spirit).

"They" are Preparing for the Tribulation

 What do these things have in common:

1.  The movie "The Matrix"

2.  Elon Musk's efforts to get man on the moon, mars, anywhere else but earth

3.  Starlink

4. Neuralink

5.  Meta's Billions of dollars invested in its "metaverse" VR goggles, etc with money still pouring in.

6.  AI "agents", this Eric Schmidt interview

The answer is the tribulation.  "They" take it seriously.  You need to watch the movie "The Matrix" to give you their idea of the future which is loosely based on what the Lord God said is coming.   That is, this world is going to get smoked.  Read the book of Revelation for details of what is actually coming for this world.  In the matrix the world is a desolate ruin so they invent a fictional world for people to live in instead.  All these billions and trillions going into AI and off world exploration are part of this preparation.

While "they" are getting prepared for the future, the Lord is simultaneously preparing His Church for the future.  What is this great awakening of 2026 about?  What is this repentance and revival we are praying for right now daily about?  What is this "leveling up" and growing into the best version of ourselves about?  What is this centering ourselves in His Will about?  What is this emphasis on faith, hope and most importantly love about?  Its all preparation.  It is late stage preparation taking place alongside, in parallel with the world's preparation for the same future.

The Lord is preparing His Church to be physically, spiritually, really, literally caught up into the clouds.  We are rising up right now in preparation for that unexpected arrival of the Lord to call us out of here.  The Spirit filled Church is the Restraining force we read about here:

2 Thess 2:7

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.

Salt and light restrain rot, decay and darkness.  We are that salt and light in the world.  Pull it out and we know what happens next.  For all the "other tribbers" who believe they will be going through part of all of the tribulation, maybe they are right (for themselves, they will receive exactly as they believe):

Matt 8:13

Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.

As for the rest of the Church up through this very day, 100% of the Church that has died in Christ escaped all that is about to happen.  Why would the Church on the earth today be any different.  69 weeks appointed for thy people...thy people is Israel, not the Church.  The tribulation is wrath and punishment and revealing Jesus Christ.  The Church has not rejected Jesus Christ, He is already fully revealed in us, to us, living through us.  Again, the "need" for the end time Church to go through the tribulation is garbage doctrine.

The rapture solution is to do exactly what the Lord told us to do which is living for Him day in and day out, ready and preparing continually for His unexpected appearance.  He went on at length about this in His Word, we do well to take it seriously.  If you are ready every day, you can't miss it.  If you are praying for the escape from all as instructed in Luke 21:36, that helps out alot.  If you are praying for yourself, your family and all the brothers and sisters in Christ daily that we will be found watching and ready for His unexpected return that could take place any day including today-that helps too.  No "new" revelation required.  No need for a PhD thesis 1000 pages long to explain why the Bible doesn't "really" mean what it says it means in plain, repetitive language.  We just do exactly what we were told to do.  Once again, the Lord frustrating the "wisdom" of the so called wise.

We dont have to guess or predict when the Lord will return for us, we have to be ready for it.  Thats it.  Simple and effective.  Of course that frustrates those who want to write books and papers and hours long videos trying to get paid off the rapture timing.  It also frustrates those who want to live their life their way right up until around when they "think" it will happen then they will clean up their act and get right with God.  Another fools errand.  Its going to be a surprise even to those watching and ready for it.  Not this servants opinion, thats what the Word of God says.

We dont know when the Lord will show up unexpectedly but we can see this world completing their preparations for trying to escape the wrath of God.  Why not just bend the knee and submit?  Its much cheaper, way easier, and infinitely more effective at escaping wrath.  We still live in the Age of Grace.  Today is the day of salvation.  The Church, and Restraint remain allowing people to be saved from the wrath to come.  Our Lord's Will is that none should perish.

We have work to do.  We can see from interviews with guys like Schmidt and peace talk in the Middle East that pieces are aligning with exactly precisely what the Lord God told us would happen.  We also see our Lord at work preparing believers which is an even more important clue as to what time it is prophetically.  If the Lord give us decades more on this earth, great-we continue to do our job.  If He decides to come back tonight, great-we get to be with the Lord forever.  We need to be ready for whatever happens next.

2026 continues to be the year of great global spiritual awakening, and repentance and revival in the Church.  The Lord told us in the last days He would pour out His Spirit, we stand in agreement and alignment with His Will.  Let it be done exactly as He said it would.  While we remain on the earth we have alot of work to do.  We have to grow in faith, hope and especially Love which ironically is the quality and characteristic that will sink the most enemy ships while keeping ours afloat and prospering.  The Lord's plan and wisdom are awe inspiring.  We still only see glimpses of it but when we see it in its entirety it is sure to take our breath away-its that perfect.

Enough for now, put on your faith, hope and love glasses daily and see the world through them.

Greater Israel

 What's going on in Iran right now?

1.  The building, establishment of "greater Israel."  Phase 1 was what took place in Gaza over the past year or so.  Remember Jared Kushner going around looking for investors in a multi-billion dollar rebuilt Gaza?  

This is the plan ^^^.  What's the problem with the plan?  One country threatening death to Israel and death to America.  That country is Iran.  Iran raining down missiles on a multi-billion dollar rebuilt Gaza would be a problem.  So, that problem is being dealt with right now as this is being written.  

How does this fit in with the Bible and Bible prophecy?  A rebuilt Gaza is part of the plan for Greater Israel.  And the establishment of greater Israel has a direct connection to this:

Ezekiel 38

Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all her villages will say to you, “Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?"’

The removal of the Iran threat also has direct connections with the rebuilding of the third temple which is on hold for the same reason rebuilding Gaza is on hold.  One would not want to rebuild Gaza and the Third Temple just to have Iran start lobbing missiles at them.  So, killing two birds with one stone.  This is why Iran is being dealt with right now.  Timelines for the end of the Iran conflict here:

Market: "Iran x Israel/US conflict ends by...?" Link: https://polymarket.com/event/iran-x-israelus-conflict-ends-by

• December 31, 2026: 85% (clear frontrunner, ~$16M+ volume)
• June 30, 2026: 62%
• May 15, 2026: ~30–32%
• April 30, 2026: ~17–18% (much lower for near-term resolution)

The highest odds for resolution are in or around the second half of 2026 starting in June.  This brings us to the nexus of mid-term elections, the Fall Feasts and a clear (from what we can see now) pathway to the establishment of Greater Israel which is the pathway to the Ezekiel 38 war.

Is any of this imminent?  Not really but it is all in the works at 6 or so months away is not a long time.  What does this mean for us as believers?  The clock is ticking to get work done on this earth before we are pulled off the earth so this world can begin the time of Jacob's trouble also known as the tribulation.  We do not have forever to level up and center ourselves in the Lord's Will to do the work He has for us before the Age of Grace turns into something else.

We don't need predictions, its enough to see the general outline of what is going on in the world which gives us enough of an idea of how much time is likely left (or time not left) for us to do our job here.  2026 is the year of the great spiritual awakening, and repentance/revival.  These things are moving forward regardless of whether people want them to or not.  The Lord's Will be done.  We have been called to stand in alignment and agreement with Him and each other for all these things to take place.

On a slightly different but somewhat related note the Lord impressed upon this servant that we as believers get to put our finger on the scale of weights and balances for every issue under the sun.  Our Lord hears us when we pray according to His Will.  Does the Lord Will people to wake up from their spiritual slumber and be saved?  Yes.  Does the Lord Will repentance and revival in His Church and elsewhere?  Yes.  We stand with Him, in Him and work through Him and Him through us for all these things to come to pass.

The clock is ticking.  This world does not have forever to do what it wants to do.  The Age of Grace is coming to a close sooner than they think.  Its time to get to work.

Revelation, Blue Pill Red Pill

 In the movie "the Matrix" a blue pill and red pill are offered to people.  They can chose a lie or they can choose what is real.  Interestingly or prophetically enough the blue (democrats, left, globalist, satanist, etc) knowingly choose a lie, knowing full well what the truth is but rejecting it outright.

2 Thess 2

5Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7For 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. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

^^^They know.....and they refuse.  Instead they will fight you, kill you, steal from you and destroy you for the lie.  Revelation is a book about the end times and a revealing of both how good the truth, the light and life are (Jesus Christ) and how absolutely rotten, disgusting and hypocritical the darkness is.  In the matrix movie, the blue pill is taken to cover up the lie (a destroyed world) with something that appears "good."

Here is an article this week that sums up "progress" this world has made toward that end.  Look at what the left offered the world during the 4 years of Joey Diapers tyranny and destruction.  The left offers you death, destruction, fraud, waste, abuse, darkness, sexual perversions of every kind, the twisting and mutilation of your children's bodies and minds, poverty, enslavement to tyranny, and on and on the list goes.  This is why "they" have to steal elections now because anyone who is even on the fence is an 100% no to the desolation, death and destruction the left is offering humanity.

We pray for all the brothers and sisters in Europe who live behind a new iron curtain of communist, socialist, fascist tyranny which is anti-Christ and anti-human.  We pray for the Christians in Iran and across the middle east.  We pray for all of the brothers and sisters in Russia and China.  We pray for an end to socialism, communism and any other tyrannical oppressive anti-Christian anti-human regime the enemies of humanity dream up.

Back to the matrix, its already here in a form with cell phones, the internet, and AI will take it to the next level.  People walk around a park on a beautiful sunny day glued to their cell phone screen refusing to look up for even a moment.  Why?  They are blue pill people.  They have made a choice and are making a choice.  The Lord would not have any perish which is why we are praying for the great spiritual awakening of 2026, and repentance/revival to spread like wildfire across the entire world.

If things "feel" or seem a little bit (or alot) "off" this year its because the warfare is so intense.  What we are seeing in the physical world is mirrored X10 in the unseen spiritual world.  The Lord is pushing the enemy back to the gates of hell and they have dug their heels in.  We must pray and fast and relentless persist in prayer over the prayer targets, pushing back the evil while the Restrainer remains on this earth.  We are in the Age of Grace right now, not the age of darkness.  Today is the day of salvation.  Today is the day for faith, hope and love.

This ^^^ is the narrow road that leads to salvation.  If you are outside the guardrails of Faith and Hope and not on the road of Love, there is a major problem.

Matt 7

13“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

This ^^^ is the scripture that started this blog many years ago.  Now we have come full circle.  The end and the beginning meet and are in agreement and alignment with each other.  April 1 was our entry into the Feasts of the Lord which lasts through October.  The Lord Jesus Christ can come back any day including today, tonight, whenever.  This is His unexpected coming as opposed to the fully expected and mapped out by day count "second coming."  The Lord Himself gave us days to count down for the expected appearance.  What is next is something different.  We are being prepared mentally, physically, spiritually through leveling up into the very best versions of ourselves centered in His Will to meet our Lord in the clouds which is the very last level up which takes us off the face of the earth and into His presence.

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.”

Are we still watching, and expecting the rapture?  Every single day.  The Lord gave us a picture of how this works and predicting or "confirmations" are 0 percent of it.  The picture, the story and the reality is a wedding.

The traditional ancient Jewish wedding (especially in biblical times) had a beautiful multi-stage process:

1. Betrothal (Kiddushin / Erusin)
The bridegroom would pay a bride price (called mohar) to the bride’s family. This wasn’t a purchase, but a serious covenant—legally binding, even before the couple lived together.

2. Preparation period
After the betrothal, the groom would leave and return to his father’s house to prepare a place for his bride (often adding a room onto the family home).
This period could last many months or even a year.

3. The unexpected return
When everything was ready, the groom would come back—often at night and at an unexpected time, sometimes announced by a shout or trumpet. The bride had to be ready.

4. The wedding procession and feast (Nissuin)
The groom would take the bride to the prepared home, followed by a joyful procession. Then they would celebrate with a wedding feast that could last several days.

---

In short:
A price was paid → a place was prepared → a return came unexpectedly → and then came the celebration.

He told us, our Lord told us over and over and over again its going to be unexpected.  Guess what?  Here is comes brace for impact............................its going to be unexpected!

All the so called "teachers" out there on the internet are quick to tell you first : 1.  "I am not a prophet." then 2.  they proceed to tell you the Lord does nothing without revealing it to His prophets.  Then 3.  They roll out an hour long video with star charts, day counts, seasons, signs and whatever telling you when the rapture is going to be this year.  I guess they cant see the hypocrisy.  They tell us they are not prophets then go on to "prophesy" when the unexpected return of the Lord is.

Isn't it better to just do what the Lord told us to do and be ready on the day He arrives?  Yes, its alot more work, you cant "cheat" the system by living like hell every day leading up to lets say the Feast of Trumpets then strap on some angels wings for a few days just in case the Master shows up.  That game is doomed to failure.  The Word of God which is the Bible is emphatic about this process, we prepare, we dont predict.  That said, we continue to remember the Lord's Feast Days and what they mean, what they symbolize etc.  They all 100% point to Jesus, we had a post on that not long ago.  

While we remain on the earth we are at war with apathy and complacency which led us to the very mouth of the abyss under the Joey Diapers and Cackling Hyena regime.  Lord have mercy, NEVER again while the Church is on the earth.  Lets do our part day in and day out putting pressure on the darkness by being the salt and light we were created to be.  We retard, restrain, hinder, slow down the darkness as salt and we drive it out as light.  We must be relentless because you can be sure our enemies work day and night, they are robbed of sleep until they find another way to do evil...

Prov 4:6

For they cannot rest until they do evil; they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble."

2026 Awakening, Repentance, Revival

 Prayer is being answered, its mainstream news now.  Revival is taking place across the country.  In this FOX news video, the guy asks "why? why is it happening?" (42 second mark in the video) We have an easy answer for him, its called prayer....

We must continue to fast, pray and seek the Lord's Face for this.  We are asking our Lord to pour out His Spirit from east to west, north to south, not just across this country but across the world.  We are praying for the downfall of Communism everywhere it is found in the world.  Venezuela was one domino, Cuba will be another but two big ones remain:  China and North Korea.  The gospel penetration rate in North Korea is less than 1%, that must and will change.  Why?

Matt 24:14

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Acts 2:

17“ ‘In the last days, God says,

I will pour out my Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy,

your young men will see visions,

your old men will dream dreams.

18Even on my servants, both men and women,

I will pour out my Spirit in those days,

and they will prophesy.

Communism is an anti-Christ, anti-human ideology spawned in the pits of hell.  Socialism, the torch the left carries to soften the full payload of communism is its child.  The Nazis were socialists (National Socialist) , the USSR was Union of Soviet Socialist Republics its all evil, all leftist, all socialist and all anti-Christian/anti-human.  

We have a chance right now to push the evil back to the gates of hell from which it all came.  The Restrainer has been empowered to do its job.  The thing is, the darkness never quits.  It never goes to sleep and it never rests its hands.  Its either pushed back on its heels and backpedaled to the gates of hell or it keeps coming for you, your family, friends, your children and everything else it hasn't already enslaved, pillaged or killed.  There is no "status quo" or treading water with evil which is why there must be zero complacency and zero apathy on our part in a never ending relentless war against it.

We do not wage this war on our own, we have a General who gives the orders and directs the army.  He is the Lord God Jesus Christ, our Father in Heaven and the Lord Holy Spirit.  He leads, we follow and as you can see right now He is on the offensive across the world.  The great spiritual awakening of 2026, and repentance/revival is how we change votes in the midterms and 2028.  It starts with a person's spiritual condition not their political ideology.  We are in the midst of a spiritual war, not an economic, social or political one.  Win the spiritual war and the spoils from all the rest come flooding in.

Each one of us needs to hear from the Lord our God individually.  Not through some "pastor" priest or rabbi.  Our personal, individual relationship with Him comes first.  Then you can listen to the other stuff, after you can test it and trash all the garbage being thrown at you non-stop 24/7, 365.  His Spirit will lead you and guide you:

1 John 2:27

"But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him."

He comes first, everything else comes second.  We all must hear individually, personally from Him.  The enemy has a much more difficult time cutting off the information flow from a decentralized command structure than a centralized one which this world loves because its so easily corruptible.  

This is getting too long now the point of this post was to encourage you to continue to relentlessly pray and fast.  Stay over the targets night and day.  Pray without ceasing, your prayers are working...

 Part of the leveling up process is going through things like this:  driving amongst the crazy on the roads, this servant has learned to say in his mind "the 2026 version of me doesn't do that" or say that etc.  The 2026 version of me is an upgrade just like software getting an upgrade.  Some things we used to do we no longer do because the 2026 version of me doesn't do that anymore.  On the other side, the 2026 version upgrade does live in faith, hope and love more than the 2025 version.  We are consciously, intentionally, mindfully, thoughtfully, with great patience and disciple through acts of our will, upgrading ourselves or leveling up into the very best versions of ourselves, centered in His Will.  This process requires us to walk, talk, act, pray and do pretty much everything else in Him, with Him, and through Him.  We cannot access the highest versions of ourselves outside Him and His Spirit.  Its just not going to happen.

We are in basic training right now preparing us to spend an eternity ruling and reigning with Him.

2 Timothy 2:11-12

"The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us."

This emphasizes that perseverance in faith leads to reigning with Christ.

Revelation 20:4-6

"Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. ... Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years."

Revelation 5:9-10

"And they sang a new song, saying, 'Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.'"

Love is the capstone lesson.  It is the key that gets us into Heaven.  We cannot love the way we are supposed to apart from Him.  We love, "they" hate.  That is the great dividing line.  Love is our greatest weapon.  It is love that is going to convert the enemies of the Cross to Christ.  It is love that is going to mend the broken hearts, and heal the great divides that separate today.  It will not be political, social, economic or other ideologies, it will be love.

This is not "feel good" doctrine, its where the rubber meets the road.  All those people who are cast out in the judgement after doing all kinds of "good works" in His Name are going to regret overlooking the 1-2 punches of 1 Cor 13, 1 John 4 and many other places in the Bible that hammers on this issue of love over and over and over again.  

on a slightly different note, this is why "they" fought so hard to keep Hegseth out of DoD.  The Name of Jesus is being lifted up in the belly of the pentagon (and elsewhere).  We need to continue to pray over all the prayer targets daily.  We are praying for Mr. Trump, his entire cabinet, and this nation in order to drive out evil everywhere it is found during this Age of Grace.  This is the age of the Restrainer and Grace, a time for the lost to come to the Cross of Christ for forgiveness and salvation.  All the rest of the stuff we see going on is a sideshow to that.

The Lord's Will be done.  Let us stand in agreement and alignment with Him and with each other to drive evil back to the gates of hell while the Restrainer is present on this earth.  Let us pray that Restraint is empowered in our day and age because we are here to pray it into existence.  Soon will be the midterms where the leftist satanic psychopaths will attempt to claw back some of their anti-Christian, anti-human agenda.  Then as of right now they plan on putting one of their poster children for destroying the nation (Newsom from California) up to put the final stake through this nation's heart.  

We will be fasting and praying against all this.  We are here to be salt and light in this world.  Salt retards, delays, restrains rot and decay and light drives out darkness.  This is our job.  We have a long laundry list of things to do.  Complacency and apathy are the enemy that allowed diapers Joe and his cackling hyena sidekick in the door last time.  This time we must pray, fast and do everything else possible in every way to prevent that from happening again in our lifetimes or until the Church is pulled off this earth.

The Feasts of the Lord, Jesus and the Rapture

 All of the Feasts of the Lord point to Jesus:

Spring Feasts (Fulfilled at Jesus' First Coming)

These four feasts cluster closely in the Hebrew month of Nisan (and Sivan for Pentecost), mirroring the rapid sequence of events in Jesus' death, burial, resurrection, and the sending of the Holy Spirit.

1. Passover (Pesach) Commemorates Israel's deliverance from Egypt through the blood of a spotless lamb on their doorposts (Exodus 12). Points to Jesus: He is "our Passover lamb" who was sacrificed (1 Corinthians 5:7). Jesus was crucified on Passover as the sinless Lamb of God whose blood delivers us from slavery to sin and death (John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:19; Mark 14:12). His death provides the ultimate exodus from bondage.
2. Feast of Unleavened Bread (Chag HaMatzot) Involves removing all leaven (yeast/symbol of sin and corruption) from the home for seven days, eating unleavened bread (matzah). Points to Jesus: Represents His sinless life and burial. Leaven pictures sin; Jesus had no sin (Hebrews 4:15; 2 Corinthians 5:21). His body lay in the tomb during the early days of this feast—like pure, unleavened bread. He is the "bread of life" without corruption (John 6:35).
3. Feast of Firstfruits (Bikkurim) The waving of the first sheaf of the barley harvest before the Lord, acknowledging God's provision and the coming greater harvest. Points to Jesus: Jesus rose from the dead on (or coinciding with) Firstfruits as "the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep" (1 Corinthians 15:20-23). His resurrection guarantees the future resurrection harvest of believers. Paul explicitly links this to Christ.
4. Feast of Weeks / Pentecost (Shavuot) Fifty days after Firstfruits, celebrating the wheat harvest and (in Jewish tradition) the giving of the Torah at Sinai. It involved two loaves of bread baked with leaven. Points to Jesus: Fulfilled when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples exactly 50 days after Jesus' resurrection (Acts 2). This "harvest" brought 3,000 souls into the kingdom on that day. The two leavened loaves symbolize Jews and Gentiles being brought together into one body—the Church—despite sin (the leaven). The Spirit writes God's law on hearts (Jeremiah 31:33; Acts 2).

These spring feasts were fulfilled with remarkable precision on the exact days during the events of Jesus' passion week and beyond.

Fall Feasts (Pointing to Jesus' Second Coming and Kingdom)

These occur in the Hebrew month of Tishrei and are clustered together. Many see them as awaiting future fulfillment, with the long summer gap between Pentecost and Trumpets symbolizing the current Church Age.

1. Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah / Rosh Hashanah) A day of rest marked by the blowing of shofars (trumpets/ram's horns) as a memorial and alarm. Points to Jesus: Often linked to the sudden return of Christ, the "last trumpet," the gathering of believers (rapture/resurrection of the dead in Christ), and a call to awakening or judgment (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; Matthew 24:31). The trumpet blasts echo God's appearances and future ingathering.
2. Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) The most solemn day—a fast for national repentance, with the high priest entering the Holy of Holies to make atonement for sin using blood sacrifices. Two goats: one sacrificed, one (scapegoat) bearing sins into the wilderness. Points to Jesus: Jesus is the ultimate High Priest and sacrifice who made full atonement once for all (Hebrews 9–10). His death paid the debt for sin, rendering the need for repeated animal sacrifices obsolete. Future aspects may include national repentance and cleansing for Israel and the world at His return (Zechariah 12:10; Romans 11).
3. Feast of Tabernacles / Booths (Sukkot) A joyful seven-day harvest celebration where people live in temporary shelters (sukkahs), remembering the wilderness wanderings and God's provision. It includes a water-pouring ceremony and looks forward to abundance. Points to Jesus: Symbolizes God dwelling ("tabernacling") with His people. Jesus "tabernacled" among us in His incarnation (John 1:14—"The Word became flesh and dwelt [tabernacled] among us"). It foreshadows the ultimate fulfillment in the Millennial Kingdom and new creation, where God dwells eternally with redeemed humanity, with no more tears or death (Zechariah 14:16-19; Revelation 21:3).

We are about to begin the Feast schedule of the Lord for 2026 which starts soon on 4/1/26.  We know that the spring Feasts have all been fulfilled literally and we know, we remember that the same will happen with the fall Feast days.  Next up to be fulfilled is the Feast of Trumpets.  This year of our Lord 2026, let us resolve to remember what our Lord promised to do.  Let us also refrain from the overdone predictions that led to disappointment and fatigue and instead do exactly what we were told to do which is prepare.  Going into Passover this year we enter into a state of preparation.  The wise virgins of Matt 25 were prepared with oil in their lamps.  They were prepared to wait and they were prepared to leave on a moment's notice.  So it is with us.

The Lord impressed a statement about His unexpected return on this servant, He said "it is sooner than you think, and not when you expect."  That's it.  Do we expect Him "soon." Yes, He could arrive today or 6 months from now or a year from now or longer.  All of that would be "soon" in His time regime.  He told us:

Luke 12:40

You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

Last year the predictions and "confirmations" turned into clown world.  Its an example of what not to do.  The enemy loves seeing annual predictions, hour long videos with star charts, exact day counts, signs, etc, all 100% historically verifiably wrong.  What are they going to mock when we are no longer predicting, but instead preparing every day, day in and day out like Noah building the ark, and the wise virgins stockpiling oil.  Correct, then they will mock the preparation but we the Church are in a much better head space/mindset because we are better aligned with the Word and Counsel of God which never once told us to predict His unexpected arrival but told us multiple times in various ways to be prepared for it.  Good servants do what they have been told, we plan to do that.

We are in an ongoing, multiyear development process to meet the Lord in the clouds.  This has been counseled for 6 or so years now, around the time of the scamdemic the Spirit of the Lord began counseling us to begin the alignment and agreement process with His Word.  That is, the parable of the talents (not about money) and the parable of the virgins.  We are leveling up on this earth, literally, figuratively, spiritually as part of a process to be physically caught up higher into the air to be with the Lord forever.

This year of 2026 features the capstone class in this leveling up process which is love (1 cor 13 and 1 John 4).  Love brings all the pieces of the puzzle together.  Love helps us understand how many will say to Him on that day "Lord Lord we did all kinds of great things in Your Name," and He will reply away from me, I never knew you.  How can that be?  How can such a thing happen?  How devastating.  How it happens is the lack of love.  People have all kinds of motives that are not love.  It will be the lack of love that sinks their ship.  

The fact that we are learning and developing the capstone course (love) may suggest we are nearer to the Lord's unexpected arrival than we think.  Thanks to our improved process of preparation over prediction it doesn't really matter unless we've been slacking in our development.  We love our enemies, our brothers and sisters and everyone else in Him, with Him, and through Him.  It is the one and only way it can be done.  Here we start to understand why few make it.  We cant do this stuff on our own and love is non negotiable.  The love part that is critically necessary requires the closest association with our Lord because the flesh, the self cannot do this on its own.  Its impossible.

Todays note is an encouragement to continue leveling up into faith, hope and love.  Continue praying with and for all the saints.  Continue praying over all of the prayer requests, for the great awakening of 2026 and repentance and revival in the Church.

The Feast days this year go April-October:

Spring Feasts (Early 2026)

• Passover (Pesach): Begins at sundown on Wednesday, April 1, 2026 and ends at nightfall on Thursday, April 9, 2026 (Nisan 14–22). This commemorates the Exodus and the Passover lamb (often linked in Christian theology to Jesus as the Lamb of God). The first and last days are holy convocations with no regular work.
• Feast of Unleavened Bread (Chag HaMatzot): Begins at sundown on Wednesday, April 1, 2026 and ends at nightfall on Wednesday, April 8 or 9, 2026 (overlaps with Passover; Nisan 15–21). Focuses on removing leaven, symbolizing purity and haste in leaving Egypt.
• Feast of Firstfruits (Bikkurim): Typically the day after the Sabbath during Unleavened Bread — around April 2–5, 2026 (exact day varies slightly by tradition, as it depends on the weekly Sabbath). This marks the barley harvest wave offering and, in some interpretations, points to resurrection.
• Feast of Weeks / Pentecost (Shavuot): Begins at sundown on Thursday, May 21, 2026 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, May 23, 2026 (Sivan 6–7). This is 50 days after Firstfruits and celebrates the wheat harvest and (in Jewish tradition) the giving of the Torah at Sinai.

Fall Feasts (Later 2026)

• Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah / Rosh Hashanah): Begins at sundown on Friday, September 11, 2026 and ends at nightfall on Sunday, September 13, 2026 (Tishrei 1–2). A day of shofar blasts and remembrance; often seen as pointing to future events like the return of the Messiah in some eschatological views.
• Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur): Begins at sundown on Sunday, September 20, 2026 and ends at nightfall on Monday, September 21, 2026 (Tishrei 10). A solemn fast day for repentance and atonement — the most holy day in the calendar.
• Feast of Tabernacles / Booths (Sukkot): Begins at sundown on Friday, September 25, 2026 and ends at nightfall on Friday, October 2, 2026 (Tishrei 15–21). Celebrates the wilderness wanderings with temporary shelters (sukkahs) and thanksgiving for the harvest. The first day is a holy convocation.
• Eighth Day / Shemini Atzeret (sometimes grouped with Sukkot or Simchat Torah): Begins at sundown on Friday, October 2, 2026 and ends at nightfall on Saturday/Sunday, October 3–4, 2026 (Tishrei 22). A closing assembly with no regular work.

We were given these appointed times to mechanically remember in perpetuity what the Lord has done, and what He is yet to do.  We remember and we prepare for it, knowing the One who promised is faithful and He will do what He promised to do.

A Bunch of Stuff

 This servants hopes to remember it all:

1.  idea impressed number 1 is we have to die to ourselves to work with the Lord the way we are supposed to:

Galatians 2:20 — “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me...”

Luke 9:23 — “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”

Romans 6:6-11 — Our old self crucified... consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 5:24 — Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh...

Colossians 3:3 — You have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

John 12:24 — Unless a grain of wheat dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

2 Corinthians 5:17 — If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away...

John 3:30 — He must increase, but I must decrease.

Imagine an oil lamp, the oil, the light, emanate from the center.  We are like the glass that the light shines through.  If we touch the glass, if we imprint on the glass, if we get embedded in the glass what happens to the person or people who were supposed to receive light from the lamp?  They get less light and some shadow or less than optimal, less than the best and not what we want.  Thats the idea.  We work with Him, the lamp, the oil work together to shine light and life into this world.  We have to yield to Him, die to self, offer ourselves as living sacrifices, step out of the way so He can do what He does.  We contribute by working in Him, with Him, through Him.  We do it together.

2026 is the year of spiritual awakening, repentance and revival in the Church.  This is what we are praying for.  It is the year of faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love.  The message here was tied to Ephesians 6 and we war not with flesh and blood but with spiritual wickedness.  It helps us to love our fellow humans, our enemies even when we recognize that many if not most are at a minimum under the influence of spiritual wickedness if not outright demonic evil possession in some cases.  Spirits can hop from person to person like "agents" in the movie "the Matrix" in order to rattle you, disturb you, wage war on you, etc.  Realizing this helps us to love our fellow human a little bit more when we recognize they are "under the influence" of satanic power that is directed against us.  Nobody gets into Heaven without love-we must get this right.  See 1 Cor 13 and 1 John 4 for details.  Love is not a side note, or something "nice to have."  Works go straight into the garbage can, absolutely worthless without love.  Figure it out soon if you havent already...

The next 8 months or so are going to be challenging as we can already see leading into the mid-terms.  There is alot going on, A LOT.  sorry for the caps but the entire kitchen sink is being thrown at this world right now.  As there is war on earth, there is war in the heavens.  This praying we are doing over 2026, the spiritual awakening, and repentance and revival in the Church, the binding of the satanic blindness that keeps the masses headed for hell, all of it has hell stirred up.  We are here to do our job and we do not do this alone.  We stand united, hand in hand, in agreement and alignment with our Lord first, then with each other to push back the satanic forces of anti-Christ as the Restrainer should do.  The gates of hell do not prevail against the Church.

Matt 16

and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades ^c will not overcome it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be ^d bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be ^e loosed in heaven.”

The enemy would love to have us believe we have not been given the keys to the Kingdom.  "They" are very happy with the masses believing they are powerless Nicolaitan "layman" who play Church once or twice a week, have great potlucks and are 99.99% ineffective in restraining the satanic power that wars against humanity.  Revelation is a revealing of things.  There are ZERO "layman" in the Church of Jesus Christ.  Show me one single "layman" in the Bible and I will gladly apologize but you are not going to find one.  We are to walk as Jesus did, doing GREATER THINGS than He did.  Sorry again for the caps but this is important:

John 14:12

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.

^^^Not your "pastor" not your priest and not your rabbi, whoever believes...

Compare this ^^^ to the doctrine of the Nicolaitans "layman" who leaves all the heavy lifting to the spiritual hirelings or "experts" that have led the Church and this world to the edge of the abyss.  We, all of us, that means you, are to walk like Jesus did, doing greater things, because He Wills it and wants it that way.  Teamwork makes the dream work.  We do it together with Him and with each other.  We are not going to have a spiritual awakening or repentance and revival in the Church if it was left up to the wolves who fleece the flock for a living and care not for the sheep nor the Kingdom:

John 10:12-13 “But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.”

Thankfully its not up to them:

Acts 2:17

“’In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

Its coming whether "they" want it or not-Glory to God.
