JESUS IS COMING SOON!

Genesis 1:14 says, "And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs..."      No one seems to pay attention to this truth of the Word of God!  The wise men knew within a two year period that the fulfillment of the prophecy of Jesus coming to this earth was to happen. Yet, they did not know the day nor the hour OR they would have made it on time!!! This year (2014), on the Jewish festivals - Passover and Sukkot - blood (red eclipse) moons are to occur. In 2015, two blood moons are to occur once again on the same exact Hebrew festival days, plus two full sun eclipses that same year!       Joel 2:31 says, "The sunlight will be turned to darkness and the moon to the color of blood, before the day of the LORD comes--that great and terrible day!"  This, I believe is talking about the Tribuation period.  In Luke 21:28 says, "When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." Mark 13:29 states, "In the same way, when you see these things taking place, you will know that the Son of Man is near, right at the door."

  SPIRITUAL RECEPTIVITY


   So often we react instead of praying and waiting on God to give clarification to the direction He wants us to move.  All too often it's either us or the demonic realm running the show when we react without all the facts or insight from God.  I am the first to raise my hand and humbly admit this struggle...
    During my recent 'close encounter' with the Holy Spirit and the spirit realm, I had either an angel or a very strong godly man say to me, "Good things come to those that wait..."  and in my heart, I proceeded to finish it, "on the Lord!"  That day, my journey began learning how to wait and ask God for His insight.
     I made it my goal to never react to anything, but to wait and pray to God for clear direction.  It has paid off in ways I can't even explain!   Truly good things do come to those that wait on the Lord!
     A couple months later, I had a woman at the Christian Bible bookstore say to me, "He delays us for a reason."  She said it twice to me.  Let me just say - God wanted to make a point that day!  The next two places I went, God proved this truth to me!   He truly does orchestrate our paths so that we come across those He wants us to bless, encourage or exhort.  Or possibly, to teach us a lesson...
    We grumble over everything that we think are mistakes or problems.  Yet these troublesome things are just God interjecting a catalyst to move us in the direction He wants us to go for His purpose far greater than we can even imagine!  If our perspective is not focused on God's Sovereignty in it all, and we accept it as our own mistakes or blunders, then we will, more than likely, end up listening and accepting what Satan has to offer (fear, resentment, self pity, etc),  This satanic bondage we bring upon ourselves will hinder the full work of God in and through us.

    When we are walking with Him, nothing we do is a mistake or a problem!  Remember,  His ways are not our ways!   He, the great I AM, knows how to lead, direct and guide us far better than anyone!

                                              Seek His wisdom today!!!

 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."  Prov. 3: 5-6

     STANDING UP FOR THE TRUTH!


      Blatant satanic attack came upon on my family.  During this time, I told the kids they must obey the Word of God by obeying Mom and Dad or things could happen that would not be good.  If they disobeyed, the Enemy could come against them.
      Normally, I ignore calls from all research companies because I either don't have the time, or the hours for the amount is not worth it.  However, this one time that a certain research company called, I looked at the caller ID, and I felt the Holy Spirit encourage me to answer.   It was impressed upon my heart, "It's a friend."
       I picked up the phone only to realize it was a research company calling.  Like I said, the pay had to be worth the effort.  Well, it was just that, so I decided to let them interview me.  I was sure, they'd drop me, but they didn't!
      So, I went to the research survey event that was not being held at their company building. As I was just getting there, driving through the parking lot,  the Holy Spirit put in my heart that I was going to be interrupted in the middle of the survey because of an injury to one of my kids.  Just moments later, my second born daughter called and said, "Mom, can we cook cookies?"
      After saying a quick, 'yes,' I hung up.  Suddenly, I remember what the Holy Spirit had just acknowledge in my heart, and that my husband, during an earlier discussion, had told me the kids should not cook cookies while home alone that day.  I quickly called back my daughter, and told her not to do the cookies.  I shared with her what had just gone into my heart before she called.  Her answer was, "YES MOM!"  She had just stuck a tray of cookies into the oven, so she pulled them out, turned off the oven and put everything away in the frig.
       Later on, I heard the story from the kids perspective.  My oldest daughter had no idea why she told my second born daughter to call and confirm with me if it was okay.  I figured that she had overheard my husband and I talking.   Whatever the situation, the Lord was watching out for our family and wanted me to not be interrupted.
       While at the building where the survey was to take place, one of the leading ladies mentioned what happened during the previous survey group.  A guy had walked in who was sick wanting to still participate.  They refused him, so he requested that he still receive his money.   They once again said no, and asked him to leave.  His response was that they were discriminating against him because he was a Christian.
       Right away, I knew why God wanted me there!  I spoke up that we are waring against the demonic realm.  Let's just say, God had me standing up for this misunderstanding, and guided my words to speak the truth He wanted out.  The other three that were in my survey group were listening intently!  One nodded his head in agreement, one stay quietly looking down in her lap, and the other seemed very interested to the point he asked me what church I attended. 
  
                                    Always be ready to speak the truth in love!

  THE SEASON OF THE RETURN OF CHRIST IS HERE!


 God confirmed to my heart that we are in the Season of His return!  Every event that we see this year is going to be easily identified as Biblical prophecy.

 The Word of God says, we will 'know the season' of His return.  Think about it...a season is something that is just months away that we can anticipate happening.  Do you realize how clear that really is?  If we are truly in the season, which I believe we are because Biblical prophecy is happening faster and more recognizable before our eyes, then that means His imminent return is closer than we have ever known before!  My guess -  whichever way it goes - is that His return for the church is between 3 months to 3 years away!  Now don't get me wrong...I am not saying the day nor the hour, just the season...
 
      When we rolled into 2013, something did change!  No, the physical world did not end as many believed, but something in the spirit realm changed!   I believe we transitioned into the Season of His return!

    REVIVAL & CHURCH SURVIVAL

      "If revival ignited today, existing church buildings would not be able to hold all the new converts.  Even if money were available, land would have to be purchased, plans drawn, permits obtained, and ground broken.  By the time that all occurred, the revival would probably be over.   While ministering in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, recently, pastors informed me that the Bulgarian revival of 1990 to 1994 died because there were no more buildings to hold the new converts.  I believe that God is leading His church back into homes and to the doctrines and practices taught by the early apostles."  (Waging Spiritual Warfare, 2008, Richard Ing, pg 151)

 

 THE NEED TO EXPOSE THE WORKS OF DARKNESS

    According to Richard Ing in his book, "Spiritual Warfare," he addresses something that many are not aware of...satanic practices that are used against us.  He states that those involved with witchcraft take a jar and place in it a piece of paper with someone's name on it.  They pray over these jars and put curses on the person in order to control them.
    A Christian should not be overly concerned if they are walking upright and righteous before our God because Satan cannot have that kind of control over us unless God Himself allows it.  However, I believe we must be watchful for our children and their use of internet.  If they are not yet strong in the Lord and in their walk with Christ, they may be targets for this witchcraft practice.  If they put their real name on Facebook or Twitter, you can see how they may be in danger of Satanic control.
    If you see waves of extreme emotion coming from your teenager or your young child, you may want to pray against the jar (just in case it is in existence), and ask the Holy Spirit to burn the paper and destroy the jar.   Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into truth as you pray, so He can reveal anything else to your heart that may need to be addressed in prayer.
  

FATHERS DO NOT PROVOKE YOUR CHILDREN TO WRATH

Here is a clear statement that is so important to hear and understand.  This is the first statement I have ever heard that makes it clear how Fathers can provoke their children....

http://www.biblecentre.org/addresses/mb_thingsabove.htm

"This is an important exhortation to fathers, as we can provoke our children through carnal behavior, when we want to demonstrate that we are the lord of the house, or we can provoke our children by exaggerating what we require of them, and we can also provoke them if we do not give them increasing liberty when they grow up and need to live a life of their own."
