Revelation

 Revelation is the last book of the Bible and it means a revealing of things.  Many if not most of us would agree we are in the last days.  In these last days the Lord God is calling us higher to be the best versions of ourselves, to shine brighter than ever, to love more, to increase in hope and faith, etc.  We are going one way, toward the Kingdom of Heaven.  This world, on the other hand, is headed in the opposite direction.  The news these days if full of a never ending stream of bad news, worry and despair.  Basically, the opposite of faith, hope and love.

There are news reports of increased sightings of UFO, UAP, alien like creatures on land and sea, big foot sightings, congressional testimonies of aliens and alien craft and disclosure of alien/ufo files from the Federal Government.  The only thing missing is the "ghosts/haunting" nexus to bring it all together.  If you have ever watched "the unexplained" or similar shows about the mothman, big foot, etc, the three go together or are seen together: cryptids, "aliens/ufos" and "ghosts."  Common denominator?  All demonic.  One stop shopping: easy.

In these last days the evil is being "revealed" (Revelation) for what it is, as is the good.  We are in a neutral zone kind of area right now where the Restrainer still exists on the earth, yet more and more of what has been hidden is now brought out into the full daylight.  Purpose?  To give people a chance, before the tribulation starts to make a wise decision.  The Lord is not sitting up in Heaven rubbing His Hands together while He waits to pull the rug out from underneath the people of the earth to watch them stumble.  In love, mercy and great patience He is giving the people of the earth every chance to make the right decision before its too late.

The evil is being disclosed for what it is.  The satanic blindness that has been over the people is being lifted for a time some people can see and understand how rotten, repulsive, ugly, horrid, and hypocritical the evil is, turn and be saved.  Thats whats going on.  With the curtain being pulled back this far in "revelation" of things we who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ have to wonder how much longer He will delay before His unexpected arrival...We are out of the prediction game however current events would suggest to us we remain on the cutting edge of our preparation game.  He never told us we have to predict the future.  He did tell us over and over again to be watching and ready, so lets do that.

The Great Awakening of 2026

 in the mainstream news here, and here.

What has the Lord added to the prayer target list?  This:

Luke 10:2

2He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.

The Lord is pouring out His Spirit from east to west, north to south.  The harvest is plentiful.  We need to add to our daily prayers sending workers into the field to harvest the crop the Lord has prepared.  The Lord told us what He was going to do and now He is doing it.  The old establishment, churchianity churches are dying or dead and a Church of hungry for Jesus, it has to be real, out with the fake, in with the authentic is taking its place.

We are to stand in agreement with the Lord first, then with each other that His Will is done on this earth (just as it is in Heaven).  This year also has brought into focus faith, hope and love which are the beginning and the end of our story.  God is Love.  That is how the story begins and ends.  No love means everything else (regardless of what it is) goes down the drain hole into oblivion.  Faith, hope, works, discipline, self denial, all of it is not worth the trash heap if its not mixed and sprinkled liberally with Love.

This is the path forward.  There is yet work to be done.  Communism needs a stake driven deep into its demonic heart before this is over.  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.

China and North Korea have big bullseyes painted on their chest for this reason ^^^.  Cuba as well.  Venezuela we can check off our list.  Cuba is next.  At some point, China and North Korea will have their reckoning.  We keep praying, the Lord keeps working.  Our prayers continue to be answered and we are only just getting started.  We must jam our foot down on the accelarator, burying it in the floor.  We do not let up for a moment until everything that the Lord has in mind to do, has been done.  He has a Heart for the lost.

1 Tim 2

1I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

Our First Job

 Our first "ministry" or job is to the Lord:

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."

That's the first and greatest commandment, as Jesus called it (Matthew 22:37-38, echoing Deuteronomy 6:5).

Then, our second job is to love each other.  The key to each is that word "love" which is not optional, not "nice to have" not something to do when we "feel" like it.  Its a commandment thats in their persistent, repetitive and with emphasis.  It starts with the King.  We are to walk with Him, talk with Him, serve, love and obey Him.  Once we get that right we can correctly do the second job which is to love each other (impossible without Him first).

We were created for Him:

Isaiah 43:7 puts it directly:

“Bring all who are called by My name, whom I created for My glory, whom I formed and made.”

The Lord is at work daily, getting His people right and ready for His unexpected arrival.  When that will be, only the Father knows.  We can be comforted by the thought that He is at work in this world, in us, and everywhere else.  He is not sitting up in Heaven with His feet kicked up on the table whistling the time away.  

He loves us.  He loved us so much He died for each and every one of us personally.  He did not die for some faceless nameless mass of humanity.  He stopped time and looked at each one of us individually, by name.  He saw every wicked, terrible, ugly thing we would ever do.  And only after knowing how fully rotten we all were, then, and only then in love and mercy He died for us.  We are to love Him back for that.  Fair trade?  We are to love Him with all of us, then we are to overflow that love to each other.

We have to get this right.  This is not only a Kingdom, eternity thing, it is also how we "win" down here on earth.  We are not going to shout, argue and arm twist our enemies into loving our Lord and His Kingdom.  We are going to love them in.

That it for today, the Lord was insisting this go out this morning so here it is.  May the Love, Mercy, Grace and Peace of the Lord be upon you today in abundance.

(we need to stay over the targets, another man was just killed outside the white house with bad intentions for Mr Trump.  We must keep Mr Trump prayed up and prayed over with all kinds of prayers and requests for provision and protection.  Your prayers are working, which is why the crazies are being "graduated" to the next life before they reach Mr Trump.  And we remember we are not at war with flesh and blood, the enemy is trying daily to turn this country back around into a pedo, demonic, leftist, communist, satanic hell hole.  How about NO?)

Rededicate 250

 Politicians from the top rededicating this nation back to the Lord.  Why now?  Is this real?  Yes, its real.  This year is the year of global spiritual awakening and repentance/revival in the Church.  It all ties in together.  The Lord is doing something here, He is moving.  Over and over in his spirit this servant hears "the best is yet to come."  We need to press forward into what the Lord is doing in the earth.  Our God and His Promises are bigger than any problem or any adversary.  Our God is bigger than all the enemy's plots, plans, and agendas.  His promises are bigger than our problems.

Our place of strength is leveled up and centered in His Will.  What is His Will?  At the very tippy top level its this:

Matt 22:

34Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ ^c 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ^d 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

This is the whole enchilada.  The nexus or center or the commandment is love.  Which is also 1 Cor 13, 1 John 4 and throughout your Bible from beginning to end.  We are being called upward to the highest best versions of ourselves right now.  Those highest best versions are necessary for what the Lord wants to do on the earth both now and in the days, weeks and months ahead.  Somehow, the best is still ahead.  Not just in Heaven later, but on earth now.  The Lord has in mind to do something great and that great thing is not standing still, it is moving.  

We already see the dissolution of the Communist nightmare from around the earth.  Venezuela was the first communist, anti-Christ, anti-human domino to fall.  Cuba is next, and both China and North Korea are on the agenda as well.  1% gospel penetration in North Korea is not going to work.  The promise is greater than the problem:

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.

That includes the Muslim theocracy called Iran as well as the communist dictatorships of China and North Korea.

What does Faith say about our situation?

What does Hope say about our situation?

and most importantly what does Love say about our situation?

Everything else may pass away but these three remain....

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.

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

This ^^^ is how we take care of Kingdom business.  This ^^^ is how we cut through the darkness and all the plots, plans, and agendas of the enemy.  Love implies obedience, which in turn implies humility and repentance for those who are off the narrow path.

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.

It does not take a majority of us to rout the enemy:

Joshua 23:10 (NKJV) "One man of you shall chase a thousand, for the Lord your God, He is the one who fights for you, as He promised you."

This is a direct promise from Joshua to the Israelites as they settle in the Promised Land. It highlights divine assistance: with God fighting for them, one faithful person can rout a huge enemy force.

Leviticus 26:8 (part of God's blessings for obedience) "Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall by the sword before you."

This is in the context of covenant blessings—if Israel obeys God, they will experience supernatural victory and multiplication of strength.

This ^^^ is why each and every one of you matter.  One of you offsets 1000 of the enemy, so each and every one matters.  We need each other to rise up and press into what the Lord is doing.  This servant has heard/been impressed in his spirit the Lord's Will of "pressing back the enemy all the way to the gates of hell from whence they came." 

All of this is very encouraging and it is the Lord's Will that each of you rise up, be motivated, inspired and encouraged to go forth boldly in your mission given to you by the Master in order for the large scale, overall Mission to be accomplished.  We all play a part.  He could do it all on His own but He does not want it that way.  We are and are to be a family.  We do this together but each has to contribute their own individual part to the whole.

Now is the time to rise up into the fulness of your calling and election in Christ.

Hope For the Future

 

1 Cor 13

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

Hope has to do with the future.  As does this:

Jer 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

The Lord is in the process of reconciling and restoring all things to Himself.  That is the big picture plan.  The smaller picture is a fractal or just a smaller piece of the big plan.  We were never told to walk around day after day lamenting what the enemy is doing or plans to do.  We are told to walk in faith, hope and love.  Faith and hope are guard rails on the road called love.  These three things remain above and beyond all others and the greatest of them is love.

Matt 22

34Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ ^c 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ^d 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

1 John 2

3We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 4Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5But if anyone obeys his word, love for God ^a is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: 6Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

How did Jesus live?  He lived in love.  His entire life in a human body was for the purpose of love.  There is a very big picture plan at work on the earth today and we are to be part of it.  We work out our Lord's plans in His ways.  The counter to the enemy's hatred and darkness is Love and Light, that is our God who is Love and Light.

The Spirit of the Lord has been impressing for some time now the need for us to "level up" and or become the best versions of ourselves, centered in His Will.  Centered in His Will means on that road called love again with Hope and Faith as guardrails.  Wherever we are going, and whatever we are doing we are doing all of it from the perspective of faith, hope and love.  This is how we walk the walk and talk the talk living like Jesus on the earth.

We love as a decision, engaging our willpower, and aligning in agreement with the Lord our God.  We love with His Love, in His Love because thats the only way to do it.  The flesh, and this world have a 0 percent chance of living out what the Lord God commanded concerning love.  We do it all in Him, with Him and through Him and since He=love by His own Word, we do everything in, with and through Love.

Love isn't optional as both 1 Cor 13 and 1 John 4 spell out.  All the other stuff people do and call "good" is complete trash and garbage in the eyes of the Lord when it is not done in and through Love.  Love is the torpedo that will sink all the enemy's ships.  If the hour is late as many believe, then we all must focus on and develop this greatest of Christian virtues.  Heaven would not be Heaven without the Love.  If the Lord began allowing haters through the gates it wouldn't be Heaven anymore.

We are not divorcing what we see in the world around us from faith, hope and love.  On the contrary, we see current events as making the case for perfecting our game, leveling up into the best versions of ourselves which for all of us who believe includes the crowning virtues of faith, hope and love.  The nobody who writes to you today tries to surrender to the Spirit of the Lord, to write only what He wants written.  As you have seen over recent history it all revolves around faith, hope and love.  There is no higher order, more important topic to write on if the hour is indeed late.

We do not know how much time we have left on the earth either individually or collectively as the Church, so we must redeem the time.  We are to fight the good fight of faith.  We are to decide and engage our willpower to love our enemies, to love the brothers and sisters, and love humanity with, in and through our Lord's Love.  We were never told we have to do everything on our own.  On the contrary we can only do everything we need to do with His Help.  We do it all together here on earth because what we are doing now is a kind of "basic training" to use military metaphor for spending an eternity with our Lord ruling and reigning with Him.

We do have hope for the future regardless of what takes place in this world.  Our hope right now today is living a peaceful life centered in the paradigm of faith, hope and love as we move through life.  We keep our eyes on Christ through the entire journey because He keeps in perfect peace those whose eyes are stayed on Him.

Isa 26

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

Each and every one of us is to be a walking lamp stand shining life and light into this world.  Those around us should see that light and be lifted up, encouraged, and inspired by it.  They in turn when the process has run its course should become lampstands and lights themselves.  Each one of us is the change we are looking for in the world.  We cannot change others but we can certainly change ourselves.  That incremental improvement day after day is what we are looking for.  We know where we are, on the road called love.  We know where we are going, toward the plans and intentions of the Lord God who loves us.

Keep the faith.  Fight the good fight.  We are dearly loved children.

You Can't Do Your Job Without Love

 Brother D, what is all this stuff about "love" now.  The nobody who writes to you doesn't know why now but the Spirit of the Lord is all over this.  This nobody assumes its because time is short and He is preparing us for what is coming (whatever, whenever that is).  Time is short?  Well we have elected members of Congress telling us they have seen absolute proof of "interdimensional beings" that they would not necessarily call "aliens" which is a dead to rights, bullseye hit for demons or spiritual beings.  The "alien" or UFO or extraterrestrial story is the main suspect for the great deception that is coming for the whole world.  They are telling us the stuff they saw in classified briefings will be declassified so we all can see it and its happening soon.  Thats what they said.  So, we are not predicting but we are preparing.  How long after the absolute proof drops, before the Restrainer (Spirit filled Church) is removed?  We don't know but reasonable minds would say probably not long after.

Which leads us back to the Lord preparing His people which brings us back to love.  Nobody gets into Heaven without love.  Full stop right there.  Read 1 Cor 13, and 1 John 4 until it sinks in deep.  How important is love?  Again here:

Matt 22:38

37Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ ^c 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ^d 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

This ^^^ is the whole enchilada on one plate.  1 Cor 13 tells us faith does not matter, works do not matter, speaking in tongues and prophesying, understanding all great mysteries, giving to the poor, and every other "good work" means ZERO without love.  This is how we come to a full undestanding of:

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!’

Atheists and satanists dont call Jesus "Lord,"  Christians do.  So how is it all these people will be lined up telling Jesus all the "good things" they did and they still don't make it in?

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.

The answer is love.  They have not love.  Love is the torpedo that sinks all the enemy ships, and all those who dont make it into the Kingdom.

So, if love is the most important thing and nobody gets into heaven without it, maybe its more important than most of us have been told and its not some optional "nice to have" Christian buffet table item but rather a mandatory, do not pass go, do not do anything else until you get this right item.

So now, back to we cant do our job without love.  Jesus died for us in love.  We are to serve each other and all mankind in love.  Everything we do is to be through the lens of faith, hope and love but the greatest of these is love.  Ok, how do we do this?  We make a decision to do it.  Love isnt a "feeling" its a decision.

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.

Ps 34

1I will extol the Lord at all times;

his praise will always be on my lips.

2I will glory in the Lord;

let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

"I will" is an expression of willpower which is an extension of a decision you make.  

Decision breaks down etymologically as follows:

Root Components:

• de- (prefix)
• -cis- (root, from Latin caedere)
• -ion (suffix)

Breakdown and Meanings:

1. de- (Latin prefix)
   • Means "off," "away," "down," or "completely."
   • It often intensifies the action or indicates removal/separation.
   • Examples: destruct (break down), depart (go away), delete (remove completely).
2. -cis- (from Latin caedere = "to cut, to strike, to kill")
   • This is the core root, meaning "to cut."
   • The same root appears in many English words:
     • decide → literally "cut off"
     • incision (a cut into something)
     • precise (cut short / clearly cut)
     • concise (cut together → brief)
     • suicide ("self-cutting/killing")
3. -ion (Latin suffix)
   • Turns the verb into a noun, meaning "the act of," "the result of," or "the process of."
   • Common in words like action, creation, division, etc.

Literal Meaning:

Decision = de- + caedere + -ion → "The act of cutting off" or "a cutting away."

Why this makes perfect sense:

When you make a decision, you literally cut off the other possibilities. You separate one choice from all the alternatives by "cutting" them away. This is why "decisive" people are sharp and clear—they make clean cuts rather than leaving everything open.

This Latin root (decidere → "to cut off") entered English through Old French decision in the 15th century, preserving the vivid imagery of cutting.

You are as an act of your willpower cutting off other possibilities by choosing to do whatever you choose to do.  In this case we are engaging our willpower through a dec-ision we make to love.  But thats just 1% toward the goal.  Next, its not optional we must do this deicision making and willpower engaging, in Christ, with Christ, and through Christ.  The flesh is powerless, self is powerless to do the kind of loving, God's love the way we are supposed to do it.  So we must partner with, and in the Spirit to get this work done.

The word "is" suggests equivalency.  So when our Lord tells us He is love, that means He = love.  When we extend this thinking to what is written above, "in Christ, with Christ, through Christ" is an equivalent statement to "in Love, with Love, through Love" because He is Love.  This thread goes deep and its woven throughout Scripture in all kinds of different ways.

Why is the Lord hammering on this point over and over?  Because He loves us, He knows the future, and He is preparing us.  For what?  Well, we know how the Bible reads.  We know whats coming, we just dont know when.  Our Lord did not tell us to become experts at predicting or guessing what day He will arrive unexpectedly for us.  He did tell us emphatically, over and over again to be prepared for it, be ready.

So, lets be prepared.  We are in "Feast Season" which lasts about 7 months from April to October.  This is a good time to up our preps without getting out over our skiis with predictions.  The Lord will come back for us when He is ready.  That is going to have to be good enough for us.  For know we can see His preparation work and we can see what is taking place in the world and we do not need to be a rocket scientist to figure out we should be ready.

Soldiers live a life of preparation and readiness.  Thats their job and that is our job...
