Don't Be Afraid of What's Coming

I believe the Lord spoke to me yesterday. Almost verbatim, he said "Don't be afraid of what's coming, it's not for you." So I start thinking about this. It's not for me....why not? Of course, perhaps "it's not for you" means more than "me" but "we" the true church. Does what I heard, jive with what the word of God says?

Jeremiah 30 :7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

Now, this statement above is very clear, it says the time of Jacob's trouble, not the church's trouble. No debate is even possible here, nowhere in all scripture is any statement even comparable that tells us there will be a time of the "church's trouble." Why? The church's troubles have been from the very beginning. How did the church start out? Our fathers were fed to the lions in Rome for their faith, and its been non-stop persecution ever since. The church has had its persecution on earth from the very beginning up through today. No, the babylonian church isn't persecuted much, but why would they be? Why would the world persecute the world? We are talking about the true church here, not so called christianity.

What else do we know about this time of Jacob's trouble?

Daniel 9 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

There's only one week left of the 70 weeks determined for the people of Israel. What's the purpose of this last "week" of years (7 years)? Here is is: to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Look particularly at this: to make reconciliation for iniquity....

You know what that is? It's a glaring neon sign that says "not for the church."

Reconciliation for sins was made for us on the cross. If you are "in Christ," then you are reconciled to the Father through the Son. So once again, does it make sense that the 7 year period that is coming is "not for you." Well, the bible certainly appears to support it. The people who argue that everyone is going through the 7 year tribulation period have to ignore alot of scripture to justify their point. They have to ignore "the time of Jacob's trouble" and add in "and the church." They have to ignore the purpose of the tribulation which is clearly spelled out above. We know that the coming tribulation is a time of judgement and wrath, but that's not all it is. Its also a time of "reconciliation for iniquity." This fact alone sinks the "pre-wrath" argument. There's no arguing your way around the fact that "in Christ" today, sins are already reconciled.

The vast majority of what calls itself Israel today is secular at best, and satanic at worst. More attention is paid to Kabbalah and Talmud then to the old testament that they should be following as true jews. There's a reason the Lord tells us that the "syangogue of satan" is composed of those who call themselves jews but are not (Rev 2-3). These so called jews will kneels at the feet of the true church and confess that we are loved of the true Son of God (Rev 2-3). All of the so called christians who love the so called jews of our day won't EVER mention that fact.

The tribulation period has a purpose, its not some random event. Part of understanding who will participate, is understanding what the purpose is. We don't have to stop there to know why those who are "in Christ" won't participate, we have a promise of escape (Luke 21:36) from all of it. We have the promise to be kept from the hour of trial, coming to test all those on the earth (Rev 3:10). Notice again, Rev 3:10 mentions the purpose of the time....a time of testing/trial. Go do a word search of the entire New Testament and you will see that the real church is, and has been tested from the very beginning all the way through today. What purpose is there in testing something again that has already been thouroughly tested? PURPOSE..........

Again, we are talking about the true church here, not so called christianity.

John 14:2 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

"Don't be afraid of what's coming, it's not for you." Remember that? Jesus says above he is coming to receive us to himself? Well, where would that be? That where he is (HEAVEN), we may be also. Let your heart not be troubled....why? He is preparing a place for us..where? In heaven. How do we get in? An open door in heaven (Rev 4), an escape (Luke 21:36), a promise to be kept from the trial coming on the whole earth (Rev 3:10).

There are many within todays babylonianity who believe they will go through all or part of the tribulation, many if not most of them probably will, so why debate them?

Back to this idea of "let your heart not be troubled." If you want an untroubled heart today, this is what your goal should be:

John 1:47 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.

When Jesus looks at us, we should hope and pray and work to have the same thing said of us. Be pure in heart, do those things that please the Lord. Strive to be found spotless at his coming.

If you do these things, you won't have to wonder if you'll make it out in the escape. Those who are "in Christ" obey his commands. We strive to keep the fire of our first love burning, our love for him. We are zealous for his ways and his works. We hate evil and love what is good. We hate falsehood, but love righteousness. This is all basic elementary stuff guys, do good, shun evil. Love, hope, be faithful. Do these things so your heart may not be troubled. Do these things so the coming 7 years, the time of testing and trial is not for you.

I have noticed a subtle shift in what the Lord would have me do for him. There's less of a need to point out the hell on earth of what's coming, and more of a need for encouragement and understanding of what it takes to be counted worthy of the escape. Time is short, how short only the Lord knows. Let us be found as wise servants today, doing what pleases our Lord. He could show up today. grace and peace

For Thou, LORD, Only Makest Me Dwell in Safety.

Psalm 4
1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

The message is clear, the Lord alone makes us dwell in safety. What's ahead of mankind is so bad its almost unthinkable, but we have an ark of refuge. We live by faith, not by sight. The external circumstances are really important for the faithless, the world is all they have. For us its completely different. We serve a God who is untroubled by the economy, the housing mess, martial law in America, concentration camps for American citizens etc. We depend on our faith, not our feelings. Our feelings are absolute traitors. I don't feel like getting out of bed everymorning, what if I "trusted my feelings" and just never got out of bed? What would happen if you only did what you "feel like" doing? Your life would be a royal mess.

The escape is coming, until it comes, live by faith. Get out of the boat and walk with Jesus on the water. You're going to have to be "for real" to do it.

Last Days Issues

I was reading Jude 1 this morning and I felt like a pinball getting bounced around all the important, highly relevant words for our days.

Starting here:

1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

You can't read a page in the bible without seeing those two words over and over again "in Christ." It's curious how babylonian churchianity never uses those words, yet they are plastered all over the bible. That should be a clue as to how much the babylonian church is tuned in (not) to the Spirit of God.

1 Jude 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

This one is huge. There are men, everywhere in this world today, who have crept in unawares, and whose teaching turns the grace of God into lasciviousness. These men are everywhere.
Now think really hard about what the Holy Spirit tells us here. Men who preach on "grace" in such a way that you are given to expressing lust/exciting sexual desires.

las·civ·i·ous
1. Given to or expressing lust; lecherous.
2. Exciting sexual desires; salacious.

If you've read this blog for any period of time, you're read about such men at length. Todays babylonian form of 'christianity' teaches that God's grace covers and excuses everything. The cornerstone of this teaching is OSAS (once saved always saved) which is in effect a license to sin. Remember what we just read, these men teach a form of grace that does what? Turns the grace of our God into a lust expressing, exciting sexual desire message. Of course, this happens by stealth, nobody's going to ever admit they are doing it, but they admit it everytime they preach a message of "grace" that is in effect a license to sin...ie OSAS and all its derivatives.

As if that was not convincing enough, look what is written immediately after:

I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that
believed not.

Paul is putting the church in remembrance here. The Lord SAVED the people out of Egypt, then DESTROYED THEM. Does that jive with the satanic "osas-once saved always saved" grace to lust doctrine being preached today?

But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

Are we in the "last time" spoken of above? Judging by all the mockers around us I would say, yea, for sure. These men are sensual, meaning all that drives them are the fleshly senses, carnal indulgences. They have not the Spirit. If they "have not the Spirit" they are definitely not "in Christ." These are the men who make merchandise of you. They feed themselves off of your back, what happens to you is irrelevant to these men as long as you continue to "tithe."

Shifting Gears

I have been saying here for some time that time is short. Don't take my word for it, look around you. It has also been written here that in addition to our readiness to welcome the Lord today, we must also be patient. Not an easy recipe to bake, staying ready every day while also have enduring patience. Read the passage below again:

Rev 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Because we do what? Keep the word of his patience....Our patience has a huge payoff, which is what? Being kept from the hour of temptation coming on the world. For what purpose is this hour of temptation coming? To try them that dwell upon the earth...to test them.

Notice the curious wording used above: keep thee from the hour of temptation..that should sound very familiar...

Matt 6
9 Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen

Now stay with me here, think about what our Lord has us praying. We just read the Lord's prayer above, which whether you realized it or not, is (in part) a prayer to be kept from the tribulation....also known as the hour of temptation

We are also very familiar with another prayer to be kept from the tribulation:

Luke 21: 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

So think about this, the Lord is telling you specifically to pray for escape, to pray to be kept from temptation (which would include the "hour of temptation") and yet we've got people running around everywhere telling people that everyone is going into the tribulation, there's no escape. So once again, we face a choice, believe that our fervent prayer based on our Lord's promises is effective, or believe what men say.

The enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy. If the servants of the enemy can move your faith from the word of God, to the word of men, he can steal from you. Your faith determines your destiny, as the Lord said it "as you believed so it will be done unto you." If the Lord makes us a promise, and we choose not to believe it, that means we have no faith in it, guess what happens?
I believe there will be many surprised people who enter into the hour of temptation. Why? Because they believed they would. That's where their faith is. I decided a long time ago to stop debating such men, they are convinced of their future.

There are many today within the babylonian church who believe in a pre-trib "escape." I see what the bible says about this an I believe there will be an "escape from all" just as it is written in the bible, however.....the very thing the babylonian church beleives in will be their undoing when they don't participate in it. The pre-wrath, post-trib folks have their faith in the tribulation, that's their ticket into it. The babylonian church believes in a pre-trib escape, but their ticket into the tribulation will be sin, lust, worldliness, participation in an idolatrous system (pastoral/clergy/laity/nicolaitan) which through a system places men between the bridegroom and the bride. That's adultery and idolatry all in one fell swoop. There are many other reasons the babylonian church will enter the hour of testing but much of it boils down to a refusal to love the truth.

When I write these things, it is to condemn a system, a babylonian system. This blog was started years ago for this very purpose, to condemn christian apostasy. The Spirit is speaking to those who have an ear to hear today. The things written here all tie back into a central question of WHY will so few be saved? Should'nt men be asking this question before they meet their maker? Or should we just ignore that part of the bible? My own friends have asked, "are these the only things you are going to discuss?" My question back is "is the only thing a fireman gonna do put our fires?" Why does'nt the fireman focus on something else? Because that's his job. Just because you don't want to hear it does'nt mean my job changes. The Lord has lit a fire within me and it burns hot. WHY will many say to him on that day "Lord Lord" did'nt we do this, that, and the other thing for you? And he tells them "away from me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you."

Nothing has changed. When the Lord sent the prophets of old to Israel, they did'nt want to hear it. When the Lord sends messengers today to speak to an apostate babylonian church, they don't want to hear it either. The Lord sends warnings as acts of mercy and love. Men see the warnings as an impediment to their "lifestyle" and therefore have the same spirit of hate and murder within them to shut up/shut down anyone who brings the message. Nothing new is written here, its a warning that comes from the very beginning of the church. A message from the wilderness, where few dare to tread. Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand.

Time is short. I do not claim to be a prophet, but I do claim to love my God with every fiber of my being and I am zealous for his ways. You do not have to be a prophet to see that destruction is coming. Economic collapse is coming and with it, chaos. Men's hearts have already begun failing them for fear, what's going to happen when the real troubles start? We have'nt seen anything yet, not even the tip of the iceberg. Things are about to get weird, with flavors of nightmares past. What lies ahead of the world will make Stalin and Hitler look like saints.

What can you do? You can pray, you can do good today, as our God defines good. You can move in close to the King of Kings and hear his voice. You can listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches today, if you have an ear to hear. What's coming will not be a one size fits all event. If you are "in Christ" you need to hear what he is saying to you specifically today. What is it the Lord has for you to do or say today? I have no idea for you, you have to find out.

There is an escape coming. Some will be kept from the hour of temptation thats coming on all the world. We are to pray for this escape from all (luke 21:36). We are to pray to be kept from temptation, which includes the hour of temptation (matt 6). Do not allow men to steal, kill or destroy the promises God makes to you in his word. You need to be very convinced of what you believe because the days are coming when only what for real will stand the test. Stand or fall, its up to you. Jesus is outside the boat calling you out to walk on water with him, that's going to require real faith.

You are dearly loved. Please pray for all those who are "in Christ" today, and all those who will be in the future. Grace and peace

A World in Denial and Total Economic Collapse

I was watching two economic experts who actually predicted what's happening today. They were being interviewed by a bunch of media prostitutes, and the dialogue reflected why we are in the mess we are in today, and why absolute total collapse of everything will happen in the near future. The media reps made fun of, mocked etc these two men, telling them they were all doom and gloom. Whenever the two guys (one of the experts was Nassim Nicholas Taleb who wrote the "the black swan") were asked what their suggestions were to fix things, the media would completely ignore them and try to redirect the conversation.

The basic gist of the dialogue was this:

media: how can we fix this?
Taleb: The system is corrupt, the entire system needs to be changed
media: what stock should people invest in?
Taleb: none of them, the system is corrupt, it needs to be changed
media: but what can people put their money in today?
Taleb: nothing, don't spend, save, the system is broken and corrupt
media: you're just all doom and gloom are'nt you
Taleb: no, the system is corrupt and broken, people should save more, not go into more debt
media: various laughing mocking of Talen and his associate, then a dismissive "thanks" for coming on the show

They don't want to hear it. People don't want to hear it. The Lord spoke to me (I think) yesterday on my way home. He pointed out that spiritual blindness is real. Spiritual blindness is more dangerous than physical blindness. If you are blind in this world, and you don't see a car coming you can be seriously injured, maybe even killed. How much worse is it, when your spirit and soul get raped and battered constantly because you cannot see spiritually. The god of this world has blinded men. Remember:

Mark 10:46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee. 50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

This blind man 1. knew he was blind, and 2. believed the Lord could make him see 3. he asked for his sight, that he may see. How many blind in the world today 1. do not know they are blind 2. Do not believe the Lord can make them see or 3. Will ask for their sight to be restored?
People don't go looking for answers to problems they don't think they have do they? Many are those who know where they can find the truth, but really don't want it, they are more comfortable with lies. They have made lies and deception their comforter rather than the Lord. I am amazed when I talk to people how programmed they are to discount anything and everything that relates to the true state of this world. One part of me is sympathetic to them because they are truly blind. Another part of me understands that their blindness comes from their own refusal to love the truth.

2 Thessalonians 2 :7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

There it is..they received not the love of the truth. It's their decision to choose unrighteousness rather than love of the truth, so who is responsible? They are responsible.

Total Economic Collapse

This past week, the things I have seen make a convincing case that in a couple more months we could see total economic collapse. We are talking about a time, and a collapse that will be mind boggling. The "powers that be" know its coming, why else would they be building concentration camps on military bases for U.S. citizens?
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-645

The size and scope of the collapse will be monumental.

Give me your attention now: I write this to you not to scare you, but to get you to do what you should be doing already. What can you do? You can pray. All the so called christians who count prayer as not "doing anything" are in for an unpleasant surprise. You can work on building your faith today, if you lack faith, ask Jesus for more. If you are'nt seeing things, ask the Lord to open your eyes so that you may see things the way he sees things...Everyone else's opinion is irrelevant and worthless. What our Father thinks is what matters, not dime-a-dozen opinions. Those who do not see the way our Lord sees will pay the price for it. Our job is to align ourselves with him, not the other way around. If we are his children, we will try to be more like him everyday, we will obey his commands, we will be sensitive to his voice, when he says jump, we will ask "how high." No debate, just obedience.

Visualize with me for a moment a morning in lets say, April or May when all the media outlets have huge bold headlines about some type of unprecedented, monumentally bad events(s). Imagine that the headlines are so bad, that people en masse panic, they basically just lose their minds. Let's imagine this day is a day that pushes people from the quiet desperation they have today, over the edge into a mental and spiritual abyss. That's a day I think is coming. Now, I ask you again, where is your faith? I have written here that your faith will be tested, even now its being tested. Where is your heart? Who does it belong to? When the day I describe above comes, we may not be here. If we are here, our faith will be the ark of safety that keeps us above the storm and waves. Perhaps I should say, our faith in our ark of safety, which is Christ Jesus the son of God who has never once, ever let me down....ever.

I have no doubt in my mind that the Lord would rain manna down in my backyard if my family had nothing to eat. What do you believe? I mean really believe..Like I said before, the mental image I have of the escape promised in Luke 21:36 is that of having my face pressed up right against a glass window that by a razor thin margin separates us from "all that's about to happen." Does that mean that we may still be here during this unbelievable, mind numbing shock day that's coming? Possibly..why? To test our faith. Do we believe his promise:

Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Many are those who do not pray to be counted worthy of this escape, because they don't believe this escape from all these things that shall come to pass is coming. Their faith has them in the tribulation. The Lord made a promise that these people don't believe he'll keep. I believe, do you? It does'nt matter what comes my way, I have one answer for everything, I always have, its my Lord and master Jesus Christ. It has not mattered what the changing situation has been, he has always delivered, his promises have been rock solid. He bids us to come out onto the the stormy seas to walk above them with him.

Prepare your mind today for the shock and awe day that is coming. People will lose their minds and panic, why should you? Are you listening to the Lord's voice today? What is he telling you? Greater is he who is in us than he who is in the world. While fear stalks and slays men among you, why should you fear? Remember and believe the promises:


Psalm 91 >>King James Bible

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Our Father said it, do you believe it? I will be with him in trouble....I will deliver him, and honour him. We don't need to know how he does it, don't try to figure out the "how" that's our God's department, you just need to "seek first the kingdom of God." Kick the middlemen out of your relationship with the King and get some one on one time with him TODAY. Know him, but more importantly be known BY HIM...

Matt 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

The day I see coming will arrive as a shock, there will be no time to "brush up" on what it means to be "in Christ." Playing church for years will be exposed for the lie that it really is. Being the church will be vindicated. Many, if not most are going to get steamrolled by events that sit just over the horizon. Don't be one of them. It always has been and always be a "remnant," a few who "get it." Be one of the few that travel the narrow path that leads to life. On this narrow path you will not have the comfort of the masses to comfort you, instead you'll have the comfort of the God of eternity. Time is short guys, prepare for the escape, but also prepare to have your faith tested right up to the microsecond before it arrives. I am a nobody, the least of the servants of the most high God. This is my duty, my narrow niche that the Lord has assigned me for these days and these hours. My duty is to the Lord for YOU..to warn those who have ears to hear and eyes that see. Understand how dearly and unimaginably you are loved by the King of Kings. He warns those he loves. grace and peace

Our Escape: A Noah Experience

The Lord does not leave us in the dark on what's coming. He tells us:

Matt 24: 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

I know there are many out there who insist that everyone is going through the tribulation. They think that because they are going through it, everyone is going through it. Big mistake. There are some people who will escape all thats about to happen. There are some people who will go partway through the tribulation then get killed. There are some people who will make it all the way through the tribulation alive. I believe that today, already our hearts are being prepared for what's coming. The future will not be a "one size fits all" event. Different people have different destinies.

Those who argue that there will be no "escape from all" are correct, but only as far as their future is concerned. Those people who believe they need to go build a bunker and hide in it from the anti-christ, they may be correct too....as far as their future is concerned. Isn't it a no brainer that we all don't end up the same way, we all don't go through the same things?

Sinners who do not repent, end up in a lake of fire. Those who are "in Christ" till the end, end up in heaven. Jesus told the centurian "as you believed, so it will be done unto you." In other words, your faith has everything to do with your future. When Jesus tells men to "pray that you may be counted worthy to escape all thats about to happen and stand before the son of man," and men refuse to do it, what do you think happens to them? They don't believe the promise, do you think they have a part in its fulfillment?

Those who argue that they will go through the tribulation probably will. Either that or this isn't true:

Matt 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

I want to point out some things from Matt 24 today.

1. Jesus said "of that day and hour knoweth no man." Which day and hour is he talking about? The unknown day and hour. There is a known day, that is 3.5 years from the abomination that causes desolation that can be counted on to the day, when Jesus shows up, also known as the second coming. There is also an unknown day. It's obvious here, he's referring not to the second coming, but to the "unknown day" of his appearance. A "secret" day, which is another thing the pre-wrath, post-trib crowd mocks to their own shame. Coming like a thief is done in secret. An unknown day is a secret day.

The Lord does'nt stop there, he goes on to explain more about this secret, unknown day by telling us it will be just like the days of Noah. Immediately after telling us that, he gives us a very specific time marker for this secret/unknown day when he tells us this:

the days that were before the flood

So lets put this together, Jesus tells us an unknown secret day is coming that will be just like the days of Noah and he points to the days before the flood is when Noah entered the Ark. Noah did'nt enter the ark halfway through the flood, not at the end of the flood, but when? Before the flood. Could it be said any plainer than that? Is there any more basic language that could be used to indicate when this secret, unknown day would occur? Before the flood.

Jesus goes on to clarify what the days look like "before the flood." Here's the description he gives:

"eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark"

and in Luke 17

"they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven"

Here's where the pre-wrath folks take a bullet. They claim that nobody gets out before Rev 6. Apparently the crowned (rewarded), redeemed men in Rev 4 and 5 must be exempt from pre-wrath teaching, because they did get out before Rev 6. How? Hmm, I seem to remember an open door in heaven in Rev 4.....

That's not the only problem, apparently "escape from all" which happens "before the flood" has references to "they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded." Look carefully at the words the Holy Spirit uses here. Now look at what happens during the opening waves of the tribulation, the opening of the seals:

1-anti-christ
2-war
3-famine
4-death and hell on earth

Now, lets put on our thinking caps. Does the anti-christ, war, famine, death and hell on earth sound the same as "eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting or building?" No, it does'nt. Famine is a lack of food. War is the opposite of building, its destroying. So when does this future "Noah experience", which happens during an unknown, secret day, which is before the flood, which is during a time of eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting and building happen?

Look around at the world today. Look at what's dissapearing. Food, drink, buying and selling, planting and building, all of those things are dissapearing before our eyes. Those were the words the Holy Spirit used to time mark the general vicinity of the "unknown day." That general vicinity is today, either that or its on the far side of the disaster staring this world in the face today.

Conclusion:

Either this unknown day is in close proximity to today, or we have a nice wait ahead of us until days of eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building show up again. As things stand everything one of those indicators is under pressure and in rapid decline. Scarcity of everything is the hallmark of today and the trend looks to continue until......the man of sin shows up (the first seal, the removal of the restrainer) to "fix" everything and be hailed as god.

The stage is set..today. The table has all the plates and silverware on it, and appetizers have already been served. How close are we to the "unknown" secret day, the day when Jesus comes like a thief? All appearances are, that this day may be upon us. It could be today. How many people actually expect it today? Jesus said he would come at a time when we would not be expecting him. A day like today when people are overcome with the anxieties of life fits the bill would'nt you say? Take nothing for granted. Give thanks for everything today. Guard your faith and examine what you believe carefully, it may determine where you end up and when you get there.

Time is short, your faith is your treasure, grace and peace.

Unlimited Power

Ephesians 1:18 And that having the eyes of your heart full of light, you may have knowledge of what is the hope of his purpose, what is the wealth of the glory of his heritage in the saints, 19 And how unlimited is his power to us who have faith, as is seen in the working of the strength of his power, 20 By which he made Christ come back from the dead, and gave him a place at his right hand in heaven, 21 Far over all rule and authority and power and every name which is named, not only in the present order, but in that which is to come: 22 And he has put all things under his feet, and has made him to be head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the full measure of him in whom all things are made complete.

The Lord reminded me recently of how he likes to do things in this world. I've seen this way in my own life as well as throughout the bible. In stark contrast to men, the Lord is not troubled in the least by "overwhelming odds" here on earth. Remember the story of Gideon:

Judges 7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. 3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
4 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. 5 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. 6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. 7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place. 8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

What happened there? The Lord basically says its not "how much, how many" or whatever else you have to fight with, its the Lord's power that wins the day and he can cause you to win out in any and every situation. Remember Psalm 91? 10,000 fall at your right hand, 1,000 at your left, but the danger won't touch you? Numbers don't matter, the situation does'nt matter. A failing economy does'nt matter, the housing mess does'nt matter, what does matter is that you believe...19 And how unlimited is his power to us who have faith, as is seen in the working of the strength of his power, 20 By which he made Christ come back from the dead

These days, either we get out of the boat and walk on the water with Jesus, or we get swamped by the storm and waves. There's less and less "wiggle room" these days. All the grey area is being sorted into black and white by pressure, by the storms of life. Playing church isn't going to cut it anymore. "Going to church" isn't going to cut in anymore. We have to BE the church, not "go to it." People don't have a problem with "going to church" but they seem to have real troubles "being" the church. Being the church=being "in Christ" because the church is actually the living, breathing body of the King of Kings. The church is not some man made organization, or social club, or feel-good society. It is an organic, living body.

Exercise your faith today, strengthen it for today and the days to come between now and the arrival of our Lord. The same power that was displayed to the world when Jesus was resurrected from the dead, is there for you if you believe. Your faith is worth more than all the riches and glory this world has to offer. We have a fortress, we have an ark, we have a King who is our shelter from the storm around us.

Do you believe he can and will do the things he said he would do? The way you answer that question will determine whether you stand above the storm and raging sea, or whether you sink below the waves. Testing is a part of this life, set your heart to pass the tests of life today. Refining by fire is part of our world today, the less impurity found within you, the less pain when the fire is applied. The escape is still ahead of us. The door in heaven (Rev 4) has not opened yet, but it will soon, be ready for it. Be found "in Christ" when Jesus arrives. Be a wise servant, a wise virgin (Matt 25). Time is short, grace and peace

Deaf to the News

As we hear the same drumbeat of bad news, I think I've already become desensitized to it. All we hear are the same names, the same problems, over and over again 24/7 from the talking heads of the lamestream media. Yea, I still keep an eye on it, but there's only so useful the lamestream media propaganda machine is for us. With that in mind, I think the flip side should also be true. It is very useful to feed ourselves the truth and promises of the Word of God daily.

When the promises of God become more real to you than the "5 senses" world around you, you know you are on the right track and you routinely good things happen to you even while the whole world around you is falling apart. A long time ago when I was first "in Christ" I started my days just reading the Psalms for strength. During some of the worst, most trying times of my life, the Psalms were like medicine for my spirit and soul. Here again, at this time, during these last days I find myself drawn to them again.

When you look at the tremendous promises within the Psalms, and you consider the fact that its easy reading, I understand why they keep drawing me back. Not only are the promises great, I can tell you from first hand experience, they are full of POWER and the Lord delivers on them. That's a fact, based on a lifetime of personal experience.

Psalm 91:2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Think about the most fortified, high on a hill, impregnable fortress that's ever existed in the history of the world, then multiply that by 1,000,000,000,000 and that's the safety and peace factor you have when you enter the fortress that is HIM. He is a literal fortress. When you are "in Him" "In Christ" you are literally in that fortress. Today, there is no fortress, anywhere on this earth that offers this, nowhere. If people want "peace and safety," then instead of turning to the world for it, perhaps they should consider him who made the world, that is..our Lord.

I want to encourage you this morning. Terrible times are ahead. Things that are about to happen on this earth will be unbelivably bad. Not only will the "things coming on this world" cause mens hearts to fail them from fear, but also the 'normal' human terrors of martial law, concentration camps with mothers are ripped from their children, never to see each other again..that kind of stuff is coming again. Talk about heart breaking horror, to be ripped apart from your kids by soldiers, never to see them again? Watch shindler's list or other WW2 documentaries that portray "the camps" and you'll start to understand what's coming again for this world.

The saddest part about all of what's coming is, it did'nt have to be this way for many people. The train wreck of human history that's just ahead of us on the tracks is entirely avoidable. Yea the world, and many elements of babylonian churchianity will argue that you have to ride this train straight into the wall, but our bibles tell us a different story. My bible tells me of an escape from all that's about to happen (luke 21:36). My bible tells me of a fortress and a refuge from all the death and dying that's coming:

Psalm 91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

^^^did you read that? Ten thousand fall at your right hand, a thousand at your left, yet you remain untouched by it. That's not the Lord's "opinion" its not "wishfull thinking" its FACT. The God we worship is a God of POWER and anything he says he will do, is done, period. I've already seen it in my own life, to me its rock solid fact, and I'm a nobody, question is, do you believe? Where is your heart? How much faith do you have? Which is more real to you, the promises of the Eternal King, or the endless blabbering of the information prostitutes on tv?

So the economy is imploding, so the housing market is in a death spiral, so the US is building concentration camps for its own people, so the "powers that be" are preparing humankind to meet demonic supermen/aliens/angels in broad daylight.....so what? I've got promises, and I dwell inside a fortress whose name is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. I don't defend the fortress, HE DOES, and if anyone wants a piece of those inside the fortress, they have to get through legions of holy angels and the most fearsome battle general in all eternity..OUR GOD.

You and I will stand of fall based on our faith. Everything going on around you today is a battle for your heart, they know it rules your head. Without faith, your heart will betray you. Today, while the worst has not arrived, ask this eternal God for more faith. Repent of any garbage that's snaring your walk with him. Time is short guys, there will not be time to do a cliffs notes version of "get to know Jesus" when the train of humankind derails in the near future. The time to get to know Jesus is today, right now. You do not need men to know Jesus, just like I did'nt need another man to get to know my wife. We came to know and love each other with no "outside help" involved. With Jesus, we do it the same way, us and him alone. Any man who tries to weasel his way between you and Jesus (pastoral system/clergy/laity..nicolaitan) is an enemy, a thief and an idolater bent on spiritual adultery, don't let it happen..

You are dearly loved, remain "in Christ" our rock and high fortress against the storm that's coming...grace and peace

We Are Not as the Many

2 Cor 2 17 For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.

Here it is again, this familiar theme of "the many" versus "the few." In all the years I spent in churchianity I never once heard this come out of a spiritual CEO's (pastor) mouth. Who corrupts the word of God? THE MANY

Once again, this brings me back to the same questions, "why will few be saved?" Corrupting the word of God...

Why will Jesus tell many "away from me you evildoers, I never knew you?" Corrupting the word of God.

^^remember, the people Jesus is calling evildoers here call Jesus "Lord Lord" that means...they are 'christians.' Satanists, buddhists, muslims etc etc don't call Jesus Lord....'christians' do.

Matt7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Time is short guys. Keep your eyes on the prize which is "in Christ."

The Mercy of The Lord

Psalm 103 :17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

I'll be the first to admit that the Lord's grace is something to be extremely thankful for. Without the Lord's grace and mercy we'd all be in big trouble. What I want to point out this morning is where men have taken this world by mistaking Grace for a license to sin. Of course they'll never admit that's what they teach but in effect, that's exactly what it is.

Psalm 103 tells us the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting but for who?

to those that remember his commandments to do them.

The babylonian church likes to argue in circles over the ramifications of not obeying, or they ask "how much sin is too much sin" or "at what point will my disobedience, faithlessness, sinfullness get me "cutoff from the vine, thrown out and burned up" (John 15)?

What kinds of questions are those? Instead of focusing on how to please the Lord in every way, they want to know how much of what does'nt please him can they get away with and still get into heaven. You still wondering why Matt 7:13-14 says few will make it through the narrow gate that leads to life? How many souls will be lost listening to the siren song that sings "there's always time to change the road your on....always tomorrow to ask for forgiveness?" What happens when tomorrow does'nt come for you and your soul is required of you today? What happens when Jesus shows up today and you told yourself this morning "I'll square up with Jesus tomorrow, I just need to taste that sin one more time, then I'll be ready to give it up?"

What happens is, the servant that is found not doing what the Lord wanted him to do will suffer.

Luke 12:46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

Does being "cut asunder, and appointed a portion with the unbelievers" sound "saved" to you?
There are many many people who are going to find out the hard way, that being "cutoff" from the vine, thrown out and burned up, appointed a portion with the unbelievers etc is not anywhere close to "saved."

For those whose focus is on how they can please the master day in and day out, they have no need to figure out how much sin is too much sin, they have no need to try and figure out at what point they will be cutoff from the vine or appointed a portion with the unbelievers. Do you think our God is playing games with us? He sees the heart, he knows those who have sold out to him, weak and imperfect as they are, but even if they only have "one talent" (Matt 25) they are putting it to work on behalf of the King of Kings. Where is your heart? Where is your focus? I don't think this is a big "gotcha" sceme where the Lord shows up and says "hey, I know you've given me your heart soul and spirit to do what pleases me, now get away from me..." Sin does matter, it does'nt please the Lord. Faithlessness does matter, it does'nt please the Lord. Disobedience does matter, it does'nt please the Lord. If you love him, you will obey his commands. I did'nt say that, he did.

Thank the Lord for his mercy, his kindness, his tender loving care. He chose the weak, despised things of the world to shame the strong, honored things. I am the least of the servants of the Lord, yet his love toward me has been overwhelming. If I am the least of his servants, how much more will his love toward you abound? Terrible, awful, frightening times are coming....for the world. An escape from all has been promised, and even apart from that escape we have a living ark of refuge here on this earth, today in the person and kingship of Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Lord has promised us many things, and in my life, I have never once seen him default on a single promise...ever. He's batting 100% over the period of a lifetime. Am I the only one who can say this? By all means no:

Psalm 37
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

Depart from evil and do good, is that really so hard to understand? Do men really need PhDs and ABCEFG degrees to "get it."

Time is short, only the Lord knows how short. Be patient to wait for him however long he should tarry, be ready for him to come back today. Do not doubt. Settle for yourself what you really believe because the Lord is looking at your heart right now to determine where you stand. Your faith is everything, without it you will be in a world of hurt. You are dearly loved. grace and peace

Babylonian Televangelist

I heard a babylonian televangelist hammering on the people about "going to church." Basically his argument was no matter what, if your 'pastor' says something offensive/apostate/satanic whatever...you need to still "go to church" there, just suck it up and keep coming. He used a lame argument that I won't even bother repeating. You know and I know that if these spiritual CEO types are spouting words that have no place in the ears of someone who is "in Christ" then you need to run, not walk away from the them.

I'll repeat another question I have posed in the past, how can I "go" to church if I am the church(part of it)? These men chain you to their drive through/fast food model of 'christianity' preaching salvation without repentance, Grace as a license for sin, mandatory attendance at their business meetings ("services"). They reach back and cherry pick tithing out of the old testament and leave all the rest to collect dust.

More and more these days the wolves are getting desperate, and the sheeps clothing is sliding off their heads. As financial conditions tighten, they are feeling the squeeze. More and more I'm hearing new and inventive verbal whips and prods to extort money from the people. It always comes down to money does'nt it? Men within babylonianity today hate legalism when it comes to salvation, they preach grace! grace! But when it comes to money....oh, LAW LAW, you must "tithe!"

Men have built multi-million dollar empires for themselves in the name of God, and now those empires are crumbling. Hows does it look when the "pastor" is well fed, driving a pimped out ride, has no worries about his house, but the entire flock is stuggling to survive? See anything wrong with that picture? These men will ride down the last sheep, to extract the last drop of blood to maintain themselves, and their empires at all costs. They don't care about extorting, lieing, cheating, stealing, whatever they have to do, because they can always "ask for forgiveness later" right? That's one major syringe full of poison that satan has always given the babylonian church. It lines up perfectly with the line he feeds the world too. Remember the old "stairway to heaven song?"

It says:

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on.

That's what the babylonian church tells you as well. OSAS (once saved always saved) is the driver for the same old satanic lie from the very beginning. Don't worry, you can always repent later....unless "later" never comes for you....

Listen, I believe in giving generously, but not a single penny, not one half of one cent to anyone in babylonianity. Yea, I can hear the condemnation already, sounds familiar. "Hey, he eats with tax collectors and prostitutes," sound familiar? Do you think the Lord will condemn you if you give your time, effort, money and attention to the poor, the widows of this world?

James 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their misfortune and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Keeping myself and yourself "unstained by the world" means avoiding the things that stain you. When todays so called christianity walks like the world, talks like the world (minus their "christian jargon"), acts like the world, looks like the world, should I or you be among them? Is the way to keep a white garment clean to jump in the middle of a mud puddle?

If you want to keep it scientific, go slice and dice churchianity any way you want using polls and statistics and you will see they are NO BETTER in any category than the world, no difference, ZERO.

There is a broad way and a narrow way in this world. Most people are on the broad way, a few are on the narrow way. We already know that the broad way leads to destruction. The road that most people are on leads to destruction, so why do people follow them anyway?

Matt 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Supporting an apostate system is to be held accountable with that system.

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

What's he talking about there? ^^Come out of what? BABYLON. The so called church that exists in the heart of babylon is as corrupt as the nation that hosts it. If it was'nt we would see more salt and more light, which would mean less rot and less darkness. As things stand this country is rotting and in almost pitch darkness. Don't take my word for it, look around, use your own eyes.

Each day that goes by, I see more and more evidence that this time, the Lord intends to withdraw "the restrainer" soon. I see a satanic spider web almost fully developed ready to catch and kill the people of the world. The Lord, for a long time now, has regularly swiped his finger through satans webs to force him to try try and try again to build a full web. This time, its almost complete. I have no doubt that we are getting very close to the start of the tribulation. Everything that needs to happen for the anti-christ to be revealed can happen in a mindblowing short amount of time.

I hear alot of talk about the "10 kings" necessary for anti-christ to arise. Men say that since we don't see the 10 kings today anti-christ must be aways off..Really?

Revelation 17:12 "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who
... And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

You see what that says? It says they are kings without kingdoms YET. They receive power one hour with the beast. What does that mean? It means they have power for a short time span, it does not mean they are'nt around today.

Think about this, war is an instrument of transformation. We live in a year of transformation. Do you know how fast the landscape of this world can change in one day? What happens the day of our escape? What happens days after WW3 starts? Major transformation, in DAYS. Remember "when they shall say peace and safety" then sudden destruction comes on them? How much time elapses there? Almost none, its lightning strike fast.

My point is this, we may well have to wait, which is why we must be patient, however, to tell people that we have more time neglects the fact that in the blink of an eye, the landscape of this world can turn upside down for the worse. I mentioned the escape and world war, what about the day that aliens/superheroes/angels/demons/whatever they will call themselves show up?
How do we know that the 10 kings are not 1o demonic kings/princes?

To discern anything in todays world we absolutely must have the Spirit of God. Without insight from him, without faith in us, we are blind. I really don't care what I have to say, I want to know what our Father has to say. What is the Spirit of God saying to us today? That's the important thing, everything is is a sidenote.

This world is transforming, and quickly. Let's keep our eyes on the prize, let us pray for the escape we were told to pray for (luke 21:36). Lets be ready like the wise virgins with lamps full of oil and jars of spare oil on the side. Patience and Readiness are our friends today. Be faithful, be obedient, try to please the Lord with everything you think and do. I write to myself as much as I write to you here. May the Lord bless you and keep you, may his face shine upon you and grant you peace...in Christ.

Spiritual "Chutes and Ladders"

I have mentioned before that the Lord seems to like to speak to me when I'm out running. This past week he gave me this mental picture of what's going on spiritually with people. Have you ever played the game "chutes and ladders?" Its a game where you roll the dice and try to move your piece to the top of the board. Trick is there are chutes that slide you back down the board and ladders that enable you to move further to the top.

Satan likes to put people on the chutes in life. Think about the rush of sliding down a fast slide, wind in your hair, inside kinda quivering from the fast descent, but once you hit the bottom, the thrill is over and you have a sore backside. The chute ride is also over rather quickly and you end up further and further behind every time you ride one. Sex, drugs, love of the world, power, control, all the things men love so much are used as "chutes" to drop you further and further down, to keep you always at square 1 until you either give up or die.

The Lord, on the other hand, encourages you to climb the ladders. There's not much thrilling about climbing a ladder, in fact, most of the time it seems like work. No rush of air across the face, no thrill in the pit of the stomach, just a steady, if not seemingly "boring" ascent. Thing is, when you finish climbing each ladder, and turn around to see what the Lord made you work through, its almost always with very very positive effects in you and to you. When you're done, you know why the Lord had you do what you did.

We all know that satan hates us and the Lord loves us, but we keep falling for the same "chutes" over and over again, each time expecting that we'll "chute" our way to the top of a ladder somewhere? Sounds a bit insane, but that's really what people expect to happen. I thought that was kind of interesting.

shift gears:

More slamming of OSAS (once saved always saved). Let me say this, I don't go looking for this stuff, I just see it everywhere in the bible, its just everywhere, shouting and screaming for people to wake up...

1 cor 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law: 57 but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.

OSAS teachers tell you that sin does'nt matter for you anymore, except as it concerns your 'rewards' in heaven. The bible here says that sin is the sting in death? They then tell you, yea but Jesus came and we are'nt under the law anymore. Well, that's correct but only if you are "in Christ." Remember the two most important words in the bible? It says above "through our Lord Jesus Christ" we have the victory. What happens if you are not "in Christ?" No victory, just the sting of death. Theres those two words at the end of verse 58 "in the Lord."

1 Cor 16
debunking churchianities money yoke called "tithing."

Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I gave order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. 2 Upon the first day of the week let each one of you lay by him in store, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come. 3 And when I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve, them will I send with letters to carry your bounty unto Jerusalem: 4 and if it be meet for me to go also, they shall go with me.

Notice, he is talking about collecting money here and he DOES NOT call it tithing, nor does he call it an "offering." To further reinforce that he is not talking about tithing, he makes no mention of giving "a tenth." What he does say is as each of you may prosper, let him give. Todays wolves (pastors) have to force the bible to say what it clearly does not, that is, they would say, "he's talking about tithing there." Really, then why did'nt he say so? Did he lack the knowledge of the word to use, why not just tell them to "collect the tithe?" Why can't we find a single instance, NOT ONE, where Jesus or any of the apostles instruct us to tithe?

There's no other doctrine in the entire new testament church where men reach as deeply and as often back to the old testament than tithing. What a coincidence huh? They don't reach back to harp on animal sacrifice or the observance of any of the other requirements of "the law" but they will dance all over your head to "prove" you have to tithe. Gosh, I wonder why Jesus said the love of money is the root of all evil. Hmmm

Time is short guys, come out of the babylonian prostitute while there is still time. Remember Paul saying "bad company corrupts good morals?" Well, bad systems corrupt everything within them, its not a matter of if things get corrupted its a matter of when. If you are in a system thats corrupt from the ground up, what do you think its doing to you?

True christianity is like football, nail down the fundamentals first, then figure the rest out. You and Jesus alone together are the fundamentals. Jesus is the word, so you and the word together is another way of saying it. Don't trust any man any longer to include me. DECEPTION is the trademark of our age. The spiritual "kool aid" men are selling these days will get you killed.

Faith, Patience, Demonic/Angelic/Superhero/Alien Invasion, The Escape

Psalm 91:2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

I woke up with the same gut level sick feeling I did last night after watching all the demonic commercials embedded in the superbowl. The propaganda machine has kicked into high gear to basically marinate people's brains in the "new reality" that is basically an age of demonism. You cannot turn on the TV or see a movie these days without seeing some kind of superhero/angel/demon/alien theme. Why? They are getting people ready for the unveiling of these things in plain view of everyone.

Last nights "Hulu" commerical was so demonic and so "in your face" its unbelievable. They are getting bold, which means (at least they think) we are close, very close to some kind of major demonic event. The thing to remember in all of this is that our Lord's timing is what prevails, not satans. The enemy cannot take a single step forward without permission from our God.

The restrainer continues to hold back the demonic horse that is chomping at the bit to really get at this world. The thought occured to me last night, that the Lord never told us how the restrainer would be removed, all we know is that the most obvious sign of the restrainers removal would be the revealed anti-christ. It is obvious to me that already the demonic activity to lay the groundwork for anti-christs appearance is in high gear.

Remember as I write these things to you that our choices are fear or faith, and fear is not an option...Psalm 91:2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. I can see it and feel it coming, men's hearts melting inside of them from fear. Those who think they are "in Christ" because they 'made a decision' 15 years ago or whatever, will be exposed. Ever heard that phrase "trial by fire?" Well, thats whats coming and there is no possible way to fake your way through it. There's no way to fake walking on water outside the boat with Jesus. If your faith isn't real, below the waves you go. Jesus does'nt want that, I don't want that, you don't want that. Prepare your hearts today for what's coming.

The Lord told us that an escape from "all that's about to happen" is coming. We are told to pray for that escape. Like I've said before, it appears we are going to walk our way right up to the minutes and seconds just before the tribulation starts, the evidence of that is all around us. The signs that the tribulation is in near proximity are all around us, which means the escape is not far off. Let us be ready and watching today. Put your full faith in Jesus Christ, and in his word. What he said he would do, he will do, that's FACT. If he said there is an escape coming, I guarantee you there is an escape coming..from ALL thats about to happen. The "all" that Jesus said we would escape from is listed above Luke 21:36, in the verses that precede it. Basically its a panoramic view from start to end of the entire tribulation period, laid out in Luke 21.

Today is a day to pray in faith, to speak in faith, to think in faith. Doubt is your enemy and its the first weapon satan and his servants throw at you ..."did God really say...?" So recognize it when you see it. Time is short, very short. Our Lord can drag things out as long as he wants to, which requires patience on our part. Just realize that we could be with Jesus in heaven before today is over... BE READY.

Occult Superbowl Commercials

I just finished watching the superbowl and over half of the commericals, maybe 60% had something to do with aliens and/or "superheroes." The most shocking of them was one by "Hulu" which adverstises free tv on your portable electronic devices. The words for the commercial were "free tv to turn your brains into jello, what are you gonna do, not watch tv or turn on your computer? Once your brains have turned to cottage cheese we'll eat them, ummm I'm dribbling on myself. Why? Because we are aliens here to destroy the world." That was (almost) literally what the commerical said, and it was said mockingly, knowing that most people would just laugh it off. I for one am not laughing. Watch it here, notice is says just under the video: Don't say we didn't warn you. It's not funny..its serious, they are'nt laughing with you, they are laughing AT YOU...its the first video top of the screen with alec baldwin..
http://blog.hulu.com/

The other commercials were for other alien /occult shows like "medium."

Many people are going to laugh at all this and dismiss it. I truly think these people don't have much longer to laugh, scoff and dismiss. Soon I'll do a short timeline of what the satanic government and corporate interests with their angelic/demonic/alien counterparts have planned for the "joe sixpacks" of this world who laugh away everything. So far, their plans are right on track. What they cannot plan for is when the Lord will do what he said he will do in the near future. The bottom line is, God is about to unleash wrath on this earth, and satan is about to setup his 'perfect' satanic government in the world, which will also feel like wrath. Humans are in for a real ride. The signs are everywhere. I almost got sick watching the demonic filth contained in the superbowl commercials tonight. The demonic forces that are currently being restrained will be unleashed once the restrainer is removed, and they are licking their chops to get to it.

They are gloating over the ignorant "joe sixpack" people of this world who will be the first to willingly run down the broad path that leads to destruction. I am sicked to the point of nausea with this world, it is so utterly filthy. We are only steps away from concentration camps in america, mass death by numerous different means, and demons walking the earth in various forms. Most people don't have a clue. The Lord told us in the book of Luke that men's hearts will fail them for fear of what's coming on the world. He said it, I see it coming, get ready for it.

Remain in the ark, which is Christ Jesus because you really REALLY don't want to get caught in the storm that's coming. grace and peace

The Future Stranger Than Fiction

To give you an idea of what kinds of traitors we have in the lame stream media, consider this: All of the major news outlets consider what's going on Oprah Winfrey's show and American Idol more important than anything going on in your life. I'm going to give you a story that they should have had plastered all over the front pages in full page, pictures and bold type face, but did'nt...

January 22, 2009

The American Con-gress just voted to put YOU in concentration camps. This is not conspiracy theory, this is not fantasy, this is fact. The traitors in con-gress voted for it, the traitors in the media covered it up.

Here are some snippets these traitors to the human race created and kept silent on:

H. R. 645

This Act may be cited as the ‘National Emergency Centers Establishment Act’.

National Emergency Centers? Yea, 3 fancy words for "concentration camps."

Purpose of National Emergency Centers- The purpose of a national emergency center shall be to use existing infrastructure--

(1) to provide temporary housing, medical, and humanitarian assistance to individuals and families dislocated due to an emergency or major disaster;

(2) to provide centralized locations for the purposes of training and ensuring the coordination of Federal, State, and local first responders;

(3) to provide centralized locations to improve the coordination of preparedness, response, and recovery efforts of government, private, and not-for-profit entities and faith-based organizations; and

(4) to meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security

In General- Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, shall designate not fewer than 6 military installations as sites for the establishment of national emergency centers.

I want you to really think about this. The political prostitutes in Washington voted to give trillions of taxpayer dollars to elitest banks, and not a penny of your own money to help you. Not a penny has been set aside to keep average americans in their homes...why not? Because they have new homes for average americans..they're called "the camps." Could you ever imagine a day when there would be concentration camps setup on military bases across the country for the american people? Well, that's whats happening, its not your imagination, its fact, its reality.

Here's the full text of HR645 for your reading pleasure:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-645

Those who have their heads buried in the sand thinking this will all just blow over and we'll have happy days of the past to look forward too, are delusional. Why was'nt every talking head on every news channel in america talking about this? Because the media in america is only free to report on things that don't matter to you, like sports, weather, and hollywood gossip. They are not free to report on things like your new home on a military base concentration camp.

If reading this does not have your complete attention, I don't know what will. Those who have been saying "the end is not near" just took two more torpedoes to the waterline and their opinions are sinking like an anvil in the ocean. Ya think camps being setup for average, "normal" people is a sign that things are gonna get bad here?

If the "bottom is in" the stock market and happy days are just ahead, why spend the enormous amounts of time and money it will take to setup all these camps? I'll let your imagination run with the facts , not conspiracy theories facing people today.

With all that ^^ said, I wonder who among us will snap out of their slumber, take the spiritual smelling salts and set their minds and hearts aright with the Creator. Evidence is mounting that time is very short. When concentration camps are being built within America for americans...you know the hour we live in.

The Lord is knocking on the door of the hearts of men today. Who will open the door of their heart to the Lord and invite him in to stay? People who think Jesus wants a "one night stand" with them to fix todays problems in their lives then be told "later" are seriously, gravely in error. Before people get huffy and puffy about my use of the phrase "one night stand", consider what Jesus calls those who stray from him, he calls them whores and prostitutes, adulterous. So "one night stand" is perfectly in line with Jesus' own words concerning these people.

Matthew 16:4 "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign ...
... An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign, but no sign will be given toit except the sign of Jonah." Then he left them and went away.

Mark 8:38 "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in
... If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation,the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes with the holy angels in

Ezekiel 6:9 "Then those of you who escape will remember Me among
... Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations to which they willbe carried captive, how I have been hurt by their adulterous hearts which

Revelation 17:1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven
... the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me,Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth

Isaiah 57:3 "But come here, you sons of a sorceress, Offspring of
... But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress,the seed of the adulterer and the whore.

The list goes on and on, but you get the picture.

People who worship a false Christ, false Jesus will be tested and fall flat on their faces. Remember that not everyone called "Jesus" is the son of God. There's only ONE Jesus, son of God, yet their are MANY who come in his name today. The key is to find the real Jesus. Who is responsible for doing that? Your hired hand pastor? Will the spiritual hired hands give an account for you on the day you kneel before Jesus? I think not...you will.

As dark as things are getting today, there is still hope. We are like special forces soldiers deep behind enemy lines. Our commanding officer told us an escape is coming, he told us that he does not intend to airstrike the terrain we stand on (wrath) until he gets us out. Do you believe that Jesus meant what he said when he told us to pray for escape from all thats about to happen? Why would he tell us to pray for an escape from all, if there was no escape from all? Many are the people today, especially in "christian" circles who will tell you "hath God really said" there's an escape from all coming? We don't have to wonder, its written in plain english/greek in Luke 21:36, and its backed up by Rev 3:10, the stories of Lot and Noah. Neither Lot, not Noah spent any time in concentration camps, did they? Lot did'nt have a stitch of his clothing singed by fire when Sodom was judged did he? Noah, did'nt have to tread water for a single second before he entered the ark did he? Not a single "in Christ" true christian in the history of the world ever had to spend a single second in "THE" tribulation did they? NO, no, no, no, no and no to all the questions above.

The tribulation is coming, no question about it, and lots of people are going through it, but NOT all of us.

Luke 21:34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.


When does our redemption draw nigh? When the things Jesus described at the BEGINNING of Luke 21 come to pass.

7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? 8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. 9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

Jesus had plenty of opportunities to tell us we are going to go through "these things" all the way through to the bitter end, but he did'nt. What he did say, is when "these things" begin to happen, our redemption draws near.

When Jesus is talking to the churches in Rev 2-3, at the end of each churches message, Jesus says "he who overcomes." Until we either "escape out" or "die out" we are still in the process of "overcoming." I have asked the Lord over and over again to tell me, to jerk my chain on this one, if I have misunderstand his command to pray for escape, and I will do a 180 degree turn and march whichever way he wants me to. So far, not even an inkling or slight hint of instruction have I received that would lead me to believe anything other than what has been written.

Those who believe they will go through the tribulation, might believe correctly, they might go through it and their hearts confirm they will go through it. Where they are mistaken is when they assume everyone will go through the tribulation just because they will. Not only is there an escape promised from all that's about to happen, but we also know that our Lord himself is an ark of refuge for us here on earth. Under his wings we take refuge:

Psalm 91
Praise of a Song, by David.
91:1 He that dwells in the help of the Highest, shall sojourn under the shelter of the God of heaven. 2 He shall say to the Lord, Thou art my helper and my refuge: my God; I will hope in him. 3 For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunters, from every troublesome matter. 4 He shall overshadow thee with his shoulders, and thou shalt trust under his wings: his truth shall cover thee with a shield. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid of terror by night; nor of the arrow flying by day; 6 nor of the evil thing that walks in darkness; nor of calamity, and the evil spirit at noon-day. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou observe and see the reward of sinners.
9 For thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou, my soul, hast made the Most High thy refuge. 10 No evils shall come upon thee, and no scourge shall draw night to thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up on their hands, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread on the asp and basilisk: and thou shalt trample on the lion and dragon.
14 For he has hoped in me, and I will deliver him: I will protect him, because he has known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will hearken to him: I am with him in affliction; and I will deliver him, and glorify him. 16 I will satisfy him with length of days, and shew him my salvation.

If you find yourself in continual fear these days, I encourage you to memorize this psalm, or at a minimum read it over and over and over again until it sinks deep deep within you. These words are not just words, they are LIFE and power for those of us who believe. When you wrap your arms around the words our Lord has spoken, and you refuse to let go of them, do you think that pleases the Lord? Yes, it does. Faith pleases him, standing and holding out against the storm raging against us pleases him. Our Lord delights in the well being of his servants and the best way to ensure your well being is to believe what our Lord said, do not doubt. Faith, and real belief mean having this stuff down deep inside of you, not wearing in on your shirt sleeve.

I can tell you from first hand experience, that when we come to the conclusion that our Lord's ways and words are true, when we come to really believe that his way is the best way, and when we commit ourselves to his way, that's when things start to come together for you and not against you. He has proven himself to me in spades. I fully accept the fact that if this world walked according to his commands we would not be in the poop-storm we are in today. Men have sowed in wickedness and guess what they are reaping? What did the Lord promise the righteous?

Psalm 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou observe and see the reward of sinners.

The reward of sinners is upon this world today, and more "rewards" are coming. Consider the promise made to us that if we do what's right, we will only with our eyes observe their reward. That means we don't get what they get. I hope the theme is becoming clear. Escaping from all that's about to happen is about observing, but not participating in the "reward of sinners."
The Lord said as we believe, so shall it be done unto us. If you need more faith, draw close to him and ask him for more. We are still in days of grace. His mercy is still extended to mankind but the window on it is closing fast. The days that are coming are days of wrath. We can choose the carrot or the stick, the choice is ours. You are dearly loved, grace and peace to you, pray for all those who are and will be "in Christ."
