The Feast of Trumpets (FOT) 2023 begins at sundown today 9/15/2023 and lasts through sundown 9/17/2023. Some of us use this appointed time/feast to remember: 1. What the Lord has already done and 2. What the Lord is going to do.
If the Lord comes down to the clouds and calls us up over the next 2 days, wonderful. If He decides to wait we continue to do what we have been doing. We were put here on this earth for a reason in this season. We have a job to do for the Kingdom of the Most High God. Speaking of that job, it begins with prayer. Why do we pray? Are we just spitting words into the atmosphere or do we believe that prayer makes a difference? We believe that prayer makes a difference. We believe that because we get answers, over and over and over again. The Lord answers prayer, its that simple.
Do we always get what we asked for when we asked for it? No. The Lord God is sovereign. He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords so He does what He wants, when He wants to do it. He is God and we are mortals so obviously He knows more about what is best for us and His Kingdom than we do. With all that said we can see all around us that the Lord God answers prayer and He continues to do so.
One of the major prayers we have been praying is the Lord will protect our water supplies from the enemy's war on humanity. Guess what? The Lord answers prayer. We can also see in a more general sense that the enemy is being restrained by the prayers of the Church. If they could, they would already have us chipped like cattle and penned up in cages. They tried in 2020 with their coronascamdemic and failed. That operation was evil genius but it still failed, but why? Because prayer works and the enemy is being restrained.
We can also see that a number of the psycopath narcissist oppressive globalist extreme left politicians are having physical and mental problems these days. Why? They are reaping what they have sown:
Ps 9
15The nations have sunk in the pit that they made;
in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.
16The LORD has made himself known; he has executed judgment;
the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands.
If we do what we were put here to do we will not be disappointed. We need to continue to stand in agreement with each other in prayer:
Matt 18:19
“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
and we need to pray the promises the Lord God made to us back to Him:
1 Jn 5:14
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
What we have to do is very simple. We do what He told us to do at face value. We don't need PhD dissertations and videos and books and conferences to figure this stuff out. He gave us His Word, we do it. Thats it. We can read it and interpret it on our own. This is especially important in an age of universal deceit and hypocrisy.
1 Jn 2:27
As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.
This is getting long so we wrap it up here. This is a time to be watching and ready. Neither this servant nor any other man or woman alive on this earth today knows whether or not the Son of God, our Lord and Master will come for us over the next 2 days. So, like He told us-we need to be watching and ready in case He does. If He does not show up over the next 2 days that does not mean He cannot show up 3 days from now or 30 days from now. Also we have no guarantee that we do not go to see Him before He comes down to see us.....
There is no law or doctrine that excels beyond what He told us to do. Always be watching and always be ready. If we do this we cannot possibly miss His surprise visit to the earth.
Mark 13
32“But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard, keep awake.a For you do not know when the time will come. 34It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servantsb in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. 35Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows,c or in the morning— 36lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. 37And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.”
Forget what other people say about the Word of God and their interpretation of it. You personally will stand or fall based upon your own faith and your own interpretation of what He said.
Let us be found as faithful servants whenever our Lord comes back for us. Our Lord is very good. Glory to God.
grace and peace
