12 and 44 Days of Good News and Encouragement

      12 Days until Feast of Trumpets 2024-We need to be ready to leave this place

44 Days until election day 2024-We need to be ready to stay in order to bind and restrain all the activities of the enemy.

We are getting close now to whatever it is that the Lord God has in mind for this season to play out.  First, we must be ready to leave this place if the Lord decides to remove restraint.  That event is also known as the rapture or "harpazo" if you want the precise Word that is found in your Bible.  We must be ready to go and ready to stay.

This is the life of a soldier.  A soldier trains day after day never knowing if or when they will deploy to some far away place to fight-at a moments notice.  They are ready to stay and train and grow and employ their ever increasing skill set and they are ready to deploy to do the same.  If the Lord calls us up, we need to be 100% ready to answer the call and leave this place.

On the other hand, we have to be ready to stay to continue our job of binding and restraint on the enemy's plans, agendas, narratives, plots, decarbonization attempts etc etc.  We have been called to rise up into the fullness of what we were called to do and to be on this earth.  We are being called today to be "the best version of ourselves."  Each of us has many different "versions" of ourselves.  Each of us has potential that lies along a spectrum from 0 (the worst) to 100 (the best) and all over the place in between.  We have been called to set our eyes on that 100 and for the rest of our days on this earth to pursue it.  This is in fulfillment of what is written in Matt 25, the parable of the talents:

Matt 25

14“For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servantsc and entrusted to them his property. 15To one he gave five talents,d to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. 17So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money. 19Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ 21His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.e You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 22And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’ 23His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 24He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’ 26But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Yes, the servant who writes to you understands that in this parable ^^^ "talents" is a unit of measure of money and not "talent" as used in the modern English language to denote some skill or ability.  It is a coincidence and a remarkable one however this servant would counter argue that the Lord God used investing money here to teach a broader principle that goes way way beyond investing money.  This parable at its heart is about using and developing your skills and abilities that were deposited in you (like money) to "turn a profit" for the master.  Our God is not talking about showing up in heaven with coins in our hands-that would be ridiculous and frankly stupid but thats what some of the thieves/wolves in sheeps clothing teach.  It is about showing up with something of worth to our Master.

12 days until Rosh Hashanah, Feast of Trumpets-we need to be watching and ready to meet the Lord God Jesus Christ in the clouds in that short window of time.  If we are still here on or about 10/5 we need to press forward, higher and harder into our calling for the Kingdom of Heaven.  Speaking of on or after 10/5, it appears the enemy has chosen the killing of unborn children to be the hill they want to fight on and the sword they want to slay us with.  So be it.  The sword, the weapon they have chosen to fight us will be the instrument of their undoing.

PSA 37

14The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose way is upright;
15their sword shall enter their own heart,
and their bows shall be broken.


 The presence of the Church on this earth, a church that is no longer sleeping and slumbering will present a formidable problem to the enemy in the days ahead if we are still here after 10/5.  The Lord God uses the Church as restraint upon all that the enemy wants to do in this world, especially raising up their satanic superman also known as the anti-Christ.  "They" do not get to decide when that happens, only the Lord God does...

2 Thess 2

Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessnessb is revealed, the son of destruction,c 4who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. 5Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. 9The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

It is the Church of God that is filled with the Spirit of God that holds all this ^^^back.  It appears evident to this servant by the revelation the Spirit of the Lord has provided of all the "tools" we have at our disposal to do the aforementioned that we are to continue to do this binding and restraining with an increased gusto that has not been seen on this earth for at least a generation.

Phil 2:13

for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

"They" want their demonic world order now but the Lord God is not allowing it now so they will have to wait...We are to do our job as it is outlined in the Word of God by the Spirit of God while we are here on this earth.  The Lord God has prepared us for success for any eventuality so we need to be listening and doing what the Lord God says.  You as an individual need to get your own audience and instruction from the Lord.  There are many things you will need to do that are different from what everyone else is tasked to do.  He is the General, we are His soldiers.  We need to hear the orders we are being given not by men but by God.

The Lord God is actively working on this earth today.  We are being called higher and to work harder for Him who we serve and His Kingdom which we belong to.  All things will take place at their appointed time.  We who believe need to continue to grind out our results with dedication and perseverance as we are working for the Living God and not for men.

In time it will be evident for all to see that their is a God in heaven who rules over the affairs of men.  He is not deaf, dumb, blind and silent but alive and working actively on this earth.  He hears our prayers and sees our work and He is encouraging us to do more.  Continue to push, press, struggle, work and overcome adversity.  One day and that day might not be far off, we will receive our reward if we are faithful and patient.

The Lord our God is very great.  Continue to do what we are called to do and we will not be disappointed when we see the result.  Glory to God.

Keep the faith.  grace and peace
