Word of the Lord for 2018

Greatness with a curve ball

What I See as a Seer (this is not the word of the Lord, this is what I see coming)

As we leave 2017 there is optimism everywhere.  At the same time there are people who want to deny the change that has taken place.  The fact is things are always changing; it is our perception of change that determines our view of life.  Not all change is for the better but nothing gets better without change.

As the noise and anger exhausts itself as it will in 2018 there will be a settling that we are on a track many look forward to and many resist without effect. 

The result of all this division and anger will be an attempt to restore past fortunes in structures. It’s too late. Much of the effect of the changes taken place has irrevocably put the nation, yea the world on a new course.  Those who oppose and fight against it find themselves at odds with what can only be called a move of God.  It’s not about any politician, president, king or pope.  It is about clinging to a past that was built on a house of cards now falling down.

Europe is in chaos, Britain is leaving and alliances are changing.  The unsettled nature of this has caused the world to tremble.  Yet.. it is as it should be.  It is what is happening in the whole world.  It’s a restructure that must be.  This bell cannot be unrung.

Part of this will manifest itself in ways not yet seen:

• There will be a revolution in Christianity.  That revolution will happen outside the church walls.  This will actually be a rebirth of a belief in God, in the Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit.  Yet it will seem unorthodox to the structured church.  It will be wonderful, the church will in tandem with this movement but the church will become a feeder of mature believers who will orchestrate this movement driven by the Holy Spirit.  Many will leave the church to become movement believers.  It is as it was always supposed to be.

• There will be a sea change in relationships internationally.  Many so called allies will find themselves set aside as more faithful allies will be discovered. This will happen on the core level, on the personal level, on the ministerial level, in industry, entertainment, media and politics.  Even nations will realign themselves.  Old structures will no longer stand.  People will be judged according to their works.

• North Korea is slated for resolution, it must come, it will look like war, but it will be the outbreak of peace will stun many.  There is pent up demand from humanity behind the North Korean 38^th parallel that cries for freedom.  Father hears them.  There will be death, but life will result.  Unless a seed fall to the earth and die, it cannot bring new life.

• The sweep of the broad brush calling for open and honest morality in entertainment, government, industry, media and politics will cause many to be displaced.  This will color and shape the elections to be held in 2018.   All old assumptions will be set aside. There will be confidence of victory by many.. but it will fail without genuine purity.  Exposure will bring even the mighty down.  Betting against the move that is in the earth right now and trying to reverse it will fail.  There is no stopping it.  It is the hand of God and it is a kairos moment.

• The power of  this movement will create doubt of those who try to tell us what to believe, who to believe, what is important, what is news.  This is driven by a need to know what is: a quest for truth.  Driving this will be those called millennials today.  They are free thinkers who seek truth.  They are idealistic in their desire for integrity in culture.  They can be easily misled. It will be hard for those outlets lacking such to carry influence.  Lies will be shown for what they are.  These idealistic people will swing to and fro.. but as time goes on.. they will see what is right and what is a lie.  The hypocrisy of the liars will cause them to flee.

• Education as we have known it will be questioned as the lost cause it has become.  Public education is failing. Higher education is imploding.  There will be the beginning of a new paradigm in the year to come.  A new educational modality that rejects the past 200 years of public education will begin to emerge.  Private and electronic education will edge out the systems that no longer create what is needed as skills in our economy.

• There will be a curve ball in 2018.  It will be economic.  In May or June there will be a seemingly economic stumble.  It won’t be permanent nor difficult.  Some of the investments that many people stand in awe of today will fall from dizzying heights.  That too will be a house cleaning.  There will be a fizzling sound as some enterprises die and others grow into something powerful.  The power of the economic engine that has been released will soften the blow of the retrenchment.

• The true price of cultural compromise in sex, drugs and morality on the screen will find themselves exposed.  This too is part of the house cleaning.  Hundreds of celebrities and notables will be shown for the demonic degrading people they are.

• Islam will continue to be exposed for the empty ideal it is, Atheism will find it hard to grow.  There will be alternate spiritual endeavors.  They may be good intentioned, some will not prosper.  But it does demonstrate the hunger for the supernatural in every person.  As the word of God says in Ecclesiastes 3:11, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”  We want to know; we need to know what it is all about. The idea that it just ends at death is unthinkable. 

There will be continued frustration by those who do no see the hand of God moving across the earth.  They will try to stop His inexorable movement.  They will cry foul against the most high God by resisting what is now the single largest sea change in a generation.  Anyone who raises questions about what God is doing and trying to stop it will be dealt with. This is all HIS doing.  Do not rage against that which is Holy.  He is using the most base clumsy and seemingly ignorant to confuse the world system.

1 Corinthians 1: ¹⁹ For it is written, I will baffle and render useless and destroy the learning of the learned and the philosophy of the philosophers and the cleverness of the clever and the discernment of the discerning; I will frustrate and nullify [them] and bring [them] to nothing.

²⁰ Where is the wise man (the philosopher)? Where is the scribe (the scholar)? Where is the investigator (the logician, the debater) of this present time and age? Has not God shown up the nonsense and the folly of this world’s wisdom?

²¹ For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive and recognize and know God by means of its own philosophy, God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching [salvation, procured by Christ and to be had through Him], to save those who believed (who clung to and trusted in and relied on Him). (Classic Amplified)

NONE of those God is using today to bring the changes we see happening are the people man in his wisdom would choose.  It’s God’s way of showing that his ways are very much higher than our ways.  When the wise ones, even those in the church world say, “I wouldn’t have chosen him or her”; you can bet your bottom dollar God chose him or her for exactly that reason.  If he could use Sampson the fornicator, The murderer David, Paul the persecutor and Balaam’s ass he will use the most unlikely.  If you are that unlikely you might just be a candidate for his purposes.  Step out and watch what God can will do with the foolish and unqualified. 

The WORD OF THE LORD FOR 2018

I am opening new doors for many and closing others.  I am placing a new heart in you renewed by my spirit.  A heart that sees Me in everything I do in your life.  You must know that I have only the best in mind for you.  You can depend on my purposes in your life.  My ways are not your ways, but you must TRUST in me.  I have only your best interests in mind.  A hope and future is my promise to you in the year to come.

Do not fear the days for they are in my hand.  Fear is not of me. These are days of new revelation and if you will cast off the grave clothes of old tradition, allegiances and tunnel vision I will show you things you have never seen before. Great and MIGHTY things. 

 

Those things you held dear in the world are falling away.  There are only a few that are truly worth pursing.  None of them are material things.  I am shining light in dark places.  As you see the darkness pushed back you will be shocked by corruption of the material world.  Have no fellowship with the world, but I am NOT of the world.  

Compare the world system and all it’s glory with what I offer you and you will discover there is no value in what the world is offering.  I offer you supernatural Wisdom, A Right Way (Righteousness), a fresh relationship with ME in fear and love flowing from My Throne beyond your understanding, Proper relationship with men based in humility and grace and Peace and justice from self control. IF you had all the money in the whole world you could never buy what I offer you for free when you align yourself with My purposes.

Prepare for great joy as the year unfolds.  It will be there hidden in the drama of the days.  You will see Me reveal myself in ways you did not know you could.  Watch and see as I show you My hand in your life.  It’s a good place to be.  I am always with you, never abandoning you.  Speak truth, grace and love to all men, particularly to the household of faith.  You are MY BODY.. and the cancer of disunity must be set aside in Love and Grace.

Word of the Lord

Word of the Lord for 2017

I hear a clear word from the Throne:  Come apart from them.  This is the day where people will have to make the choice between serving God or Serving Baal.  No there aren't Baal temples on every corner but the principles are there.  The choice will make it hard for many to make the decision to leave the past behind and enter into a better future.

Father is rewarding those who choose to live by his word.  His word is clear. You have to be intentionally blind to ignore those things that are of the sour fruit of the evil one.

Yet there are many people who attend church, dance, shout, pray (even in tongues), and confess Jesus as Lord yet find themselves connected with those who support all forms of ungodly activity and principles.  Demonic Deception.

Compromised Christianity is manifested in the earth.
When the idea of homosex marriage came along, many so called Christians accepted it as a cultural norm.  Some Christians rejected it.. but in the end it was considered OK by those already compromised.  Same with abortion, not good but accepted. The law of the land.  Same with multicultural intolerance of Christianity and the embracing of Islam .. the slope became more slippery.  Then legalized marijuana... well we have to keep up.  Lawless acts were excused on the altar of social justice. Pedophilia made easier by laws and homosexual curriculum in schools. Marriage replaced with shacking up and large numbers of single parent households resulted.. and this in the church. Then when during the last year when corruption was revealed at the highest level, those compromised excused it with the idea that "Everybody does it".   What has resulted is a cultural form of Christianity that is apostate.  Stands for nothing and falls for everything.  The plumb line of righteous living is no longer observed.  It's not even seen.  We are out of kilter.

The result of this is a schizophrenic cult of Christianity aligned with people groups and factions who do things they disapprove of at least in principle but to whom they remain loyal to for no godly reason.  Father is calling for the compromised to come out from among them.  The road to perdition and eventual collapse for believers is paved with good intentions and misplaced loyalty.

There is a great divide coming and in 2017 will manifest itself in radical new ways.  Those who have been compromised will have to make a hard decision.  It will be painful.  There will be scars.  But when a cancer is removed it leaves a mark.  Some will be repentance.  Some will be shame.  The year to come, 2017, will create a clear line of demarcation.  The compromised will be forced to choose between darkness and light, good and evil, Baal and God. 

Yet there are those who will hold to the old and not come out from among them who will form the Whore Church of our day.  Revelation 17 speaks of this.. it happened in the past and will again.  But we are in this place once more.  All prophecy moves in long deep cycles.  The devil has no new strategies.  We must be aware of those he uses now.  We can see how this looks in the empty forms of godliness that makes up many mainline denominations.

The whore Church will wage a war for the souls of men against the Church of the Lamb of God.  It will find itself fully compromised.  Many will stay in that place of Denominations, Groups,  Networks and will find themselves at odds with those who stand for righteousness.  They will align themselves with the most ungodly philosophies and movements imaginable.  It will be spiritual blindness from the root of hell.  Beware of this in 2017.  There will be casualties.  Souls will be endangered from false alliances.

Godless pagan people will rail against the things of god.  Students in some colleges, many millennials who were never taught, those who protest against anything that represents something different from their thinking will demand to be protected from any opposing opinion. Sadly many of the blinded compromised christians who now find themselves aligned with these antichrist attitudes will try to protect themselves from anything that tampers with their confirmation bias.

Father says this to the compromised christian: 

Come out from among her, My people! Save your lives, each of you, from the LORD's burning anger.  Jeremiah 51:45

On Pentecost the Apostle Peter said: "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."  Acts 2:40 That is the call Father is making to compromised christians today.

Fathers heart has always been to call us out from among the filth of the world. 2 Corinthians 6:14-17  Don’t fellowship with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: “I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don’t touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you.

Addressing those who have embraced the whore church..a word from the Throne Room in Revelation 18:3-5 All the nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her immorality. The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown wealthy through the extravagance of her luxury.” Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues. For her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. The cry of heaven is heard again.  Come out of her.

He will restore those who repent of the compromise to royalty.  
1 Peter 2:9  You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

That is the heart of God for 2017 -  it is restoration of who HE is and who WE are in HIM.

We are about to enter a season unlike any we have had in the past.  We will find ourselves ruled by many Godly men and women.  The enemy will attack them.  He will try to marginalize them.  Be on watch for the attempts by an antichrist spirit to destroy the Godly. These leaders will find themselves in a brighter and more intense spotlight. The hyenas will nip at their heels.  There will be difficulty.  Many who had great belief in what might be will find themselves disappointed.  The exercise of what must happen will frustrate even the elect.  Deception will reign.  There will be an economic reset that will cause people to question how this can be.  The belief in a man to solve problems will be replaced by disillusionment.  Fathers word is "TRUST ME, I have your best interests at heart".

There will be sporadic acts of violence because the devil is on the loose stirring up hatred. When you see claims of hate as accusations against the children of God take a good look and you will see the face of satan revealed.  This is spiritual warfare in the mud.  Some of it will be acts of violence, damage, intimidation and threat.  Don't be taken by surprise.  The enemy has been dealt a severe blow... but he always recovers and will till the end of all things.  That too is a truth from Revelation.  Be on watch for the enemy of your souls.   He's wounded but he's not dead... yet.

There will be unusual alliances in the year to come.  Nationally, politically, spiritually and in people groups.   "Misery makes strange bedfellows" is a quote from Shakespeare's play the Tempest.  People will question why asking,  "how did ____ ever get connected with _____".   It will look out of order but there are new spiritual neurons being formed.

There are things that will be reset globally that will begin to come into order this year.  Some will be the result of Death.  Some the result of change of leadership.  Some the result of calamity.  Not everything is an attack, all change for better requires a reset.  Embrace the good and accept the bad and have faith in GOD.

Be wary of scare tactics in 2017 ... fear is the main tool the enemy has left and he has willing transmitters of his fear poison.  Some in the media, some as "Entertainment", some in social media and some are in the pulpit or on TV.  The world is not ending soon..  the Kingdom is expanding and God is still on the Throne.
 
The enemy is going to turn up the heat to divide people even more.  He will divide churches, denominations, city populations, people groups and even families.  Division is one of the prime schemes of the enemy.  We are instructed in scripture to mark well those who cause division.  Be aware.  Even on the public scene, there will be attempts to divide.  The enemy knows that he can count on weak people to turn against leadership at every level to weaken the whole.  Don't fall for this.

The enemy is out to defame people.  He wants to tear down anyone people hold up.  This goes for everyone from the highest to the lowest.  He will then supplant them with so called leaders who do his will.  Be vigilant for those who accuse the brethren.  Even if a leader does something or doesn't do something you thought he or she should have, now is the time for supernatural loyalty.  The voice of the accuser is shrill, loud and persistent.  Exposure of the schemes of the schemes of darkness is not going to come without protest.  Expect it.

There is a darkening cloud but there is also a bright beam of light on the horizon.  Jesus will shine greater and brighter to those who can see.  The devil however has blinded the mind and eyes of the unbeliever.  There is a large number of blinded people who may never see the truth.  That doesn't mean we must stop trying, just don't be discouraged.  Those who the devil has in his grasp will be hard to tear out.  If you would pray for them learn to pray that they will have the eyes of their understanding opened.  That usually happen in stressful situations.  Health, financial difficulty, relationships, lostness and hopelessness.  When you pray for them, pray that they come to the end of themselves.  That the Blessings of the Presence of God invade their lives.  BUT that will come with pain and suffering.  So when it happens don't be in a hurry to bail them out of their situation.  Recognize the trouble they are in must happen first so they get OUT by the power of GOD.  It's how we all came to Jesus.  We needed Him for more than salvation, but for hope, joy and peace.

A spiritual battle over our age has been engaged for some time.  Lawless behavior at every level is accepted.  Strong Delusions have been in operation deceiving even the Godly.  Strange myths and old wives tales. Weird conspiracy theories. Gossip and backbiting are rampant.  Ease of taking offense is the spirit of the age.  As you take a stand against this spirit there will be violent push back.  The god of this world hates exposure.  You will be criticized, ostracized and demonized.  Don't allow your fear of man to silence your needed voice in this hour.  God says to the spirit of this age that has dominated too long.. PERMISSION WITHDRAWN.  Like Job of old, there was permission given.  It's not any more.  But we are the mouth, hands, feet and purposed of Father in this age and we must manifest truth to the devil's deception.  Do not be afraid to be and put on public display the righteousness of God lived in your life. 

The princes of the power of the air has provided a wide road to perdition.  Many are on that road.   It's not about heaven or hell in the eternal, it's about living life today in the destiny God gave you.   You must not take the easy go along to get along road.  There are two roads.  Take the one less traveled.

We will see many more deaths of notables, even in the body of Christ.  We will mourn them.. but we have more losses because we have more to lose.  There is a population of humanity that is coming of the ages of stepping from time into eternity.  Think it not strange that many more seem to be clearing the way for generations to come.  And those of us of a certain age must make sure that we speak to the Generations saying, "This is the way, walk ye in it".

There will mercifully be fewer end time scares, moons of many colors, harbingers, comets, eclipses, star formations and such. More and more Christians are coming to realize the truth. The enemy has used these myths of mysteries to hobble the saints and Father is saying, CUT IT OUT.   In 2017 there will be fewer.  Don't buy every one of these strange "Prophecies". 

Natural disasters will happen and some will be severe, they don't mean anything other than weather is weather and earth is earth.  There is no prophetic meaning.  Haiti will slowly recover but it will mean a political shakeup.  The same with Venezuela.  Corruption and evil will be exposed and people will slowly rise up.  We must not interfere.. they must come to this on their own, but many will and think it is helping.

Supernatural manifestations will happen more and more.  We will find saints of God testifying to things we don't almost believe ourselves.  Some will be imaginations ... but look for those which are true.  Father is revealing his hand in people's lives.  Expect it.  The miracles are on the way.

Right now virtual reality is a big thing.  That's because it's exciting thrilling but it's not reality.  The same thing is true in the world system.  Much of what we think is true by what we hear or see on media is virtual reality.  Yet there are demonic systems that use what you think you see or hear to manipulate the foolish.  Don't be one.  Money is raised for the devil's enterprise by well meaning people who have bought satan's lie.  Be careful who you trust in this day... even satan comes as an angel of light.  Things that have extracted resources from people will be shown up in the year to come to have been a wicked lie and will be discredited.  There is a move from Self Esteem which was a tool of the devil to cause people to fail to Self Improvement, particularly in Biblical Ways.  The enemy has been in full force against those who preach from the pulpit the improvement of our selves.  That will change in 2017.  We must not be victims, we must be better in the power of God.  There is a return to the kind of preaching of long ago when Norman Vincent Peal encouraged the saints in a dark day.  We will hear that again in 2017.  God has a plan.. learn it and live it. 

Here are some specific predictions:
The UN will not be defunded.  De-fanged yes.
The economy will not soar, but it will build a strong underpinning for years to come.
Low level inflation will occur but there is powerful deflationary pressure holding it down.
Gold and silver will not hide anyone from risk .. simply an alternative currency
By August there will be a hard entry into the Fall season but the year will end upbeat
The dollar will strengthen but that will hurt business

The middle east and ISIS will quell by default but most of that will not be at the hands of the USA.  The Russian Bear has it's sights set on a Mediterranean seaport in Syria with a path thru Georgia, Azerbaijan and Iran or Turkey.  This will happen by force or by cooperation. The path is already set.

European contrives will become less about the EU and more nationalistic.  The islamic invasion has driven this. EU will survive but only as a shell of its former promise.

2017 will be a year unlike any we have had in 30.  Upheaval, anger, resignation and hope after  disappointments.  Knowing we are in Fathers eye means we can walk in confidence.

Father would say:
I have only the best for you.  Don't fear the years to come.  There is always hope in ME.  I placed my spirit in you to comfort you as the times and days come.  You were always meant to be the head and I will raise you up.  Your purposes are fully hidden only in me.  I will strip away from your life anything that robs you of that purpose as you walk in the paths that seem dim to you but on which I am shining my light.  Follow the light of my truth, know my word, know my will and I will bring you to a new place.  It will be glorious but you won't see it until you get there.  I love you and even when it seems hard, I NEVER CHANGE.  

Word of the Lord for 2016 - The Pure in Heart Shall See GOD!

As I waited on God for a word for the year 2016, I heard this from Matthew 5:8

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

Suddenly I knew this was the word for the coming year.  A year for many who will see God and a year for others who blinded by impure hearts and satan's schemes will stumble in the Darkness.

This is not a works event in 2016.  You will have to examine your own heart until you begin to see God. Only the pure in heart can see Him.

Here is what the Lord is saying:

There is ever increasing impurity and corruption in the hearts of men.  Yet there is an increase in those who seek Me.  They shall see Me.  I am coming like a flood in My Spirit.

In the wars and rumors of wars in the world, you will not moan as others do, but will see the shaking I make to bring men and women unto Myself.  You will SEE ME do this thru eyes of faith.

In the riots, protests and anger against injustice the hearts of those who are pure will be revealed, also revealed will be those who are NOT of Me, those used of your enemy to corrupt hearts that may at one time have been pure.  Only the pure in heart will be able to see MY hand.

In those in authority the enemy seeks to cause division and discouragement as lawlessness increases.  You will see Me as I move agaist your enemy to bring honor and submission according to My word.

Here are 40 ways you can SEE Father GOD in 2016 as you purify your hearts:

1. See God as He reveals the plan for your life in 2016.  He has a plan and He is revealing it to the pure in heart.
2. See God as He opens new opportunities for provision and prosperity for your life.  He means to do good for those who are pure in heart. 
3. See God as He not only the promise but in the results He brings to you in fulfilled prophecies from the past in 2016
4. See God as He HELPS you when you thought there was no help.  When you decided you were thru.. He will come thru and help you once again.. His eye is on the sparrow and it's on YOU.
5. See God as He not only reveals the call on your life in a greater way, and confirms it, but He will make a way for the manifestation of the call of God on YOU
6. See God as he moves those things from the past year into the rear view mirror.  Into the place where forgetfulness drowns. 
7. See God as He shows you his great pleasure in YOU and your life.  It's about Whose you are, not who you are. 
8. See God as He prepares a place for you in eternity but as you live here on earth he is preparing a place here for you as well.  When you are under His kingship you never live alone, you always have a HOLY roommate and in that you are never homeless
9. See God as He changes the season of your life.  As you still see winter he is preparing a spring when the birds sing his song and the blooms come forth setting fruit in the summer and bearing much in the harvest of your season
10. See God as He restores those things in your life that you had decided were never going to be made whole again, the sin and humanity that constantly torments you in your flesh.. see Him as he overwhelms your spirit with HIS
11. See God as He opens your eyes to supernatural things, things that in earlier days you could not see or that you decided were coincidence.  As you are pure in heart you see those things better and better.  Open eyes and see the angelic hosts all around you as God opens them.
12. See God as He brings you back on track, in ways that you thought you could never get back to.  That track is waiting for you.  He never left you.. He's waiting to get you going the direction you veered from in the past.
13. See God as He manifests things in your life in 2016 that are above and more than you right now can ask or think.  more than you imagine.  He is saying dream one size larger than you dreamed before and then dream again one size larger.
14. See God as He unveils your today, not dwelling on the past for that is now gone, not considering too much in the future for that is still an un-cashed check, but enjoying the more than enough of today.
15. See God as He brings you out of the wilderness and crosses you over into a land prepared for you in your calling.  The giants are no match for you as you enter into the place prepared.
16. See God as He lays before you a giant staircase of promotion.  Take each step.  As you watch Him move, don't try to leap too many steps ahead.. for He can only give you little by little.  One step.  Take that step.  Then another.
17. See God as He changes certain directions you have been heading and corrects your course for 2016. 
18. See God as He creates  a hunger in your heart for obedience to fulfill his desires that takes you somewhere away from the nowhere land you have resided in too long.
19. See God as He strengthens you where you are weak.  There is much more for your to grow into.  You aren't done yet.  The Lord is your strength.
20. See God as He makes you whole nothing broken nothing missing in your blessings to come in 2016
21. See God as He brings you to higher highs in faith in HIM.  He responds to faith when one pure in heart moves. 
22. See God as He removes burdens from you that you thought were yours to carry forever. They aren't.  He will take it from here.
23. See God in He manifests provision of healing and wholeness in ways you never understood before.
24. See God as He manifests his peace in your life during the rage of the storm. Shalom Shalom.. HIS PEACE given to you.. not like the world, real peace.
25. See God as He lays His supernatural hand in you in Love, in direction and sometimes in Correction.  Never fear.. He knows the way.  He sees the end from the beginning and is bringing you to an expected end.
26. See God as He manifests himself thru His sons and Daughters on the earth.  You will see them in new ways you never knew before.  You will see Him in action at the hand of those called by His name.. Sons and Daughters.
27. See God as He exposes dead works, foolish works, myths, lies, old wives tales.  He is bringing you into a greater life of truth and wisdom as you remain pure in heart.
28. See God as He works miracles thru your hands when you are placed in his purposes
29. See God as He opens the mysteries of the future thru prophetic dreams and visions for those pure in heart.
30. See God as He reveals who is and is not a Son or a Daughter.  Those in sheep's clothing will soon be stripped bare.
31. See God as He raises up new leaders in the Body of Christ, some will be old leaders in age but new in vision. Some will be young in age but with a fresh vision.  Calebs and young Davids will work hand in hand to bring the expansion of the Kingdom.
32. See God as He brings about radical changes in government in justice.  The unjust judge and those in authority without his permission will be brought low.
33. See God as He acts in your behalf against injustice.  He will do battle for you even when you sleep.
34. See God as He exposes those around you for the guile that is in their hearts.  Don't be surprised when those you thought were for you are exposed.  It's the chastisement of the Lord.  Embrace it and see God.
35. See God as He shines the light of His Holiness on circumstance, situation and people around you revealing them for what and who they are - don't regret those things you are called out from as your remain pure in heart.
36. See God as He rebukes the works of darkness in your life without damage to you
37. See God as He continues to invade entertainment.  Those things that were formerly kept away from the children of God are now open to you.  Take your place.
38. See God as He moves on Government in 2016
39. See God as He causes situations and event that expand his Kingdom.  He never wastes anything many deem tragic.. it is at those places when his Glory is revealed.
40. See God as He uses His called ones to move in confidence in business and the workplace

I see these things coming to pass in 2016:

• Economic stability will increase for a time but a crisis of some magnitude will once again occur.. before the election, like in 2008.  It is justice (an adjustment).
• World wide instability will become less of a problem.  Wars and rumors will subside.
• Many great leaders of the past secular and spiritual will pass in 2016, more than in the past few years.  There will be mourning as this happens but a recognition that the baton has been handed to another generation.
• Churches will struggle, not all, but many that do not hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church.
• God will become more evident to those who love him in the future as He is revealed above anything the world can bring.
• Weather will wax worse then BETTER.  People will begin to discover truth in this regard.  Much of those things that have been imagined will become myths and mystery.
• Those who put faith in gold and sliver will find that 2016 will not be a good year. Only faith in God will matter.
• There will be upheaval and difficulty as isolated terrorists attempt to generate fear, but to those who know their God there is no fear in faith.
• ONE powerful discovery in health is waiting just outside the door. I don't know what it is, but I see it and when it is revealed it will bring great joy for much suffering will be stopped.
• By the end of the year a wave of great optimism for the future will manifest and it will not be because of an election, it will be because truth has been shown over lies.

Father says this: 

Only I am truth, even your flesh tries to lie to you. There is not good in deception.  Seek truth and escape the lies of the devil.  The truth will set you free and the lies will place you in bondage.  Seek truth.  I am truth.  Do not depend on your own works, ability or understanding. Even those things you see as pleasing to me are not if they are bound by lies.  Your worship no matter how passionate is meaningless without truth.  Find Me and find truth.

Word of the Lord for 2015

As I do every year, I lean in to hear what the Lord is Saying for the year to come.  Sometimes it is detailed.  Sometimes in riddles.  He gives us what we need to hear.  He prepares us thru the prophetic. Our hearts are more ready for a word at junctions and pivot points like the turn of a year.

A few years ago the Lord told me that 2015 would be a turn around year for the Body of Christ and the USA.  Yet there is a global backdrop that needs to be understood.

Here are global bullet points the Lord gave me.

• Russia: Hard times repression, but no return.  Stirred but not shaken.  Genie in the bottle is out, and won't go back.  No revolution = no return.  Nationalism more like Early Germany.  Blaming others for the depressed state.  Gives vent.  Danger is only if they lose all hope.
• China Stumbles..  Global economic reset hurts china.  Client states will not do well with it.  Yuan wanes.  Jesus is winning over atheism. 
• Islam is exposed naked and ashamed.  Isolated yet when cornered more dangerous - for a while.  In war winning battles losing war.  Islam will fall.  Jesus will reign in the hearts and minds of men and women in the middle east.
• Korea perceived strength is weak.  A paper tiger in the north but still a tiger none the less.  Reaching exhaustion. South must prepare for next.  It's not war.. It's impact.
• Cuba.. all the noise and fury yet nothing really changes for the better.  Just a drift.  The problems there are from government not from former embargoes.  Communism exposed.. again.
• Europe - the EU was a consolidation and is now fragmenting... in currency.  Return of the D-Mark.
• Africa cannot find its way as a continent.  Like a huge dark auditorium with 50 small and a few large various wild animals stumbling about looking for light.  The true struggle has yet to be engaged.  It must be their victory. It cannot come from outside.  The corruption will crush any reform.  They must be left to work this out or they will stay a slave state as a continent.
• South America.  Suddenly it's 1970.  Like nothing ever changed.  Reset is coming.  It will start at the corners, Venezuela and Argentina.  Pain will be great.  Some nations will avoid direct pain, but there will be no hiding place as it happens.  It will destabilize for a while. 
• India - Pakistan et al.. Darkness and Light in a Fight for the souls of the nation.  Light will win but darkness never retreats without a fight.  Not this year.. but don't give up.  Victory will come.
• The USA in the year to come... Political storm and fury.  Lies and Deceit.  Yet In cooperating with the new congress and senate he begins to form his legacy and he becomes as good as many hoped.  By the end of 2015 essentially his term is over.  Yet there is a great testing to come.  A crisis not yet seen.  His leadership will be tested one last time. 

Exposure and Light shines on a culture that knows not God nor Man in favor.  A porcupine culture.  Corrupt.  Broken.  Selfish.  Easily misled.  Made up of lost souls.. some of whom think they know Jesus.. but don't know Him ………really. 

Economic Reset in the USA and in the world will result in the rich becoming even richer and the poor even poorer.  There is a smaller middle ground.  Those who are poor cannot find their way in the world they hoped to inherit. Skills were never developed when they should have been.  The lies the poor are told increase their poverty.  Their victimization is increased and as they accept the role they lose control. No victim can rule.  Not even themselves.  The focus on victimization increases their despair even more.


In the economy, as things change, people are becoming dependent even more on others and on the supernatural provision of God.  Government will fail.  Institutions will fail. 

Oil, energy, agriculture, industry will be good in the USA but globally, there will be difficulty.  Expect a 3rd quarter stumble as interest rates increase and consumption backs off.

The war between the Church and the Body of Christ
There has been a long simmering feud between Christians who no longer find a place in the church but are a vital part of the greater body of Christ.  God is responding to this distrust.  He is moving outside the four walls of the church at a greater pace than ever before.  Huge moves of God are taking place, even globally, but little of it is taking place in the Church.  Holy Spirit is invading earth in spite of the fact that He is not welcome in most churches today.

God is doing new things in many places where no one thought we would ever see Him again. In the media, movies made by secular groups are preaching the truth of God's word.  In spite of their efforts to distort.. He cries aloud thru them.

Even with cultural influences for evil and distortion like the news channels and TV in general, God is shining his light on what is not working.  He is shaming them all the time.  While trying to walk a cultural middle ground, they trip and fall.  People no longer believe all that is said or done.  Yes the gullible do, but the discerning are becoming aware of the corruption of these flawed values.  The alternative media wins over the lies from the old ways.  Lies and liars will be exposed.  Light will come out of nowhere.  Lies and fabrications will cause many to doubt that which government and bureaucracies say.  Global warming has become a lie that didn't hold.  It was exposed by light.  More will come in 2015.  Doubt in authority will grow in 2015.  This is a mixed blessing.

These changes as God shines his Light on the darkness is creating an increasingly conservative new generation who cannot stomach the old wine.  This is good news for the ever expanding Kingdom of God and for the burgeoning body of Christ.  It will not be great news for churches who cannot see this and who will fail to be there as it come to pass.  Some will find a way to connect with what God is doing.  Most will not.  A rapid vital organic spiritual increase will show itself greater in 2015.

Hunger has been stirred.
 The pangs are real.  The middle ground of compromise is going away.

His hands, feet, mouth and heart are busy building up the new reality.   The old reality is passing away.  Those who can see and embrace what is happening will prosper spiritually in this day. It will be disconcerting to set aside what is comfortable.  Those who cling to the old wine will falter.  Light and exposure will ferret out the ordinary and usher in the supernatural. 

There will be health scares again and again.  There is a whole industry built on the foundation of keeping people frightened.  Fear NOT HE says.  Dependence on broken systems and policies will cause many to turn to the great physician.  Healing power will of necessity be released.  The rug has been pulled out of dependence on mammon and his medicine.  Faith works and in the year to come will be proven again and again.  The fear of death which is the basis of the health scares will be broken and people find eternal life and confidence.

There will be increasing pressure from the deceivers of the Saints.
They will use old tools in new ways.  Riches and their pursuit will trip up many.  Deception born of ignorance will increase as young people leave uneducated defrauded by a system that was supposed to give them a foundation.  Gullibility to myths and reasoning will trap many in the snare of a fowler.  Chains of victimization will be clamped around the ankles of those so deceived.  It is a time for those who know their God to look deeply at what they think they believe.  He (the devil) wants to keep them under his feet in submission.  He can only do this thru deception and lies.  Only truth can chisel off the chains that bind.  Truth sets people free.  The largest sea of impoverished victimized people come from a single deception accepted which grows into a web of thousands of blatant lies.  Give NO PLACE to the enemy.  Be on your guard.

Great floods of darkness will come in these deceptions, but the Lord is lifting a standard of truth against the enemy's flood.  Many eyes will open, scales falling off...yet, those trapped by them will suffer intentional blindness.  The very elect, those called by his name on the earth (maybe not in heaven) will choose intentional blindness over truth in the year to come and find themselves worse off at the end of 2015 because of it.

Bad leadership has caused the USA to groan.  Corrupt leaders in Government, Business, media, entertainment have a demonic assignment to deceives the saints of God.  The lost are already deceived.  An example would be the movie God's and Kings (Moses and the exodus) as truth.  People have become accustomed to believing what they see on screens.  Hand held and Big Screen.

The Great Civil War Before Us
We are still in battle, not yet war.  Skirmishes.  Between the Establishment and the Rebels.  Those who would control and those who want to take control away. 
This is in the Economy, Government,  Media, Education, Churches and the new wave coming in all those areas.  The old establishment will not yield easily.  The wave to come is more powerful than you can imagine. 

The Global Reset
It will most hurt third world countries and developing nations worst.  Rich getting richer, poor getting poorer, even globally.  Attempts to help will be weak and fruitless.  While the USA will chug along OK as will some of Europe, Australia, Japan, New Zealand (developed countries) deeps recession and despair will be widespread.  Some will result in wars, but mostly just pathos of need.. Much need.

2015 is the year of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.
This division, wealth inequality will lead to demagoguery.  When you hear the words “income inequality”, you will know the voice of the deceiver has been raised.  The poor will be with us …..always.  Wealth inequality only serves as a stepping stone for more to enter into wealth.  When all are the same, everyone is poor few can emerge.  It is a sad delusion when man thinks he can heal this inequality by policy and not opportunity. It only serves to enrich a few bureaucrats at the top, the elitists, and impoverish the rest.






Here is what the Lord Says you can expect personally in 2015:

"My Kingdom is growing. Be part of it. I will never abandon you.  I will cleanse you. I will wash you.  I will make you new again and again.  Yet to do this I must chasten you.  I love you too much to allow you to drift very far.  The world I have prepared for you here, your temporal destiny, is better than you are now living.  I have much more for you.  More than you can ask or think.  My world for you is secure, safe, confident.   In it you are loved, destined for more, directed clear eyed by Me. 

I love you too much to allow you to wallow as the tail and not the head.   Yet many of you are not yet ready to be the head so I must allow you to remain as the tail until you are prepared to be positioned for headship.

I must wash away all that is not of ME.  I must Cleanse all that is YOU out of YOU.  There must not be any strongholds between you and me that keep you from the full knowledge of ME.  You must be clear eyed to be the head.  When you are ready I can trust you with what I called you long ago to do.  Great wealth, influence and authority are yours.. but you must first be fully MINE.

My love for you is patient and kind, YET my dealings with you must be painful for the moment to be effective.  You must break free from mindsets and strongholds that keep you from being ready to sit in the places of authority I prepared for you.

I cannot bring you up until you are brought to full submission to my purposes in you.   Those purposes may not be what you think they are.  As you do the good works I have called you to, I will cleanse and purify your hearts until I can trust you with great wealth, power, riches, authority and influence in the earth.  It has always been my purpose in you.  You hold the key to the timing. Don't resent the delay.  Many have entered in quickly.  You can too... but first set aside all that is between you and ME."

Thus saith the Lord for 2015 

The Word of the Lord for 2014 - Facing the End

FACING THE END

A PROPHETIC LOOK AT

THE YEARS TO COME,

INCLUDING FACING

AN ETERNITY IN HEAVEN

What is there to fear?  Much if you are insecure in your relationship with God.  Even when we are secure, there are twinges of pain when we think of things and people we have known coming to the end. Even our own end.  Father God doesn’t want us ignorant and fearful.  “Fear NOT” He says.  I offer a perspective that may help many overcome the fear of the end.

Prologue

I have been hearing from the Lord the last few weeks that has brought me to the point where I will now tell you what is happening prophetically.  The fact that it comes at the end of the year may not be accidental.

    To be clear, none of what I am about to reveal has anything to do at all with end times. Almost all of what has been written and preached the last hundred or so years about the end times is wrong.

    I could give you all kinds of Biblical evidence and historical back up, but for those who are questioning there are notes at the end of this word to help you understand why this prophetic utterance is about the end times.  We all will face an end.  This is about that.    

Facing the end of what we have been living

Prophetic History is never linear. It is circular. Where we are on the great wheel of history helps us understand the past present and future. The Jewish mind in the time of the ancient writings saw history as a cycle. Our western linear thinking makes us think that things must be future based, they are, but they are simply repeats of what has been. That's why scripture is so helpful to understand the times and seasons. There are events that foretell where things are on the great cycle. One thing is certain; Israel, spiritual and natural (Chosen People) is a key in understanding the benchmarks prophetically. It is a conundrum. God's plan shoots like an arrow thru history, yet the cycle is how we grasp eternal truths. It's a convergence of eternal truth and humanities propensity to fall. Pagan peoples always embraced the cycle. Too many Christians have ignored the cycle and only embraced the arrow which points to an end time, a final conflict, a rapture, an event culminating in the coming of the Lord. It's a difficult thing to reconcile the human mind's incapacity to grasp eternity... yet to see the future history you must.

Here's what the Lord has shown prophetically in light of these things:

We are going to go descend further in our global culture. Life will become less and less valuable to the culture at large. Killing people for "reason" (sick, in the womb, mentally challenged, old, impaired, insanity or racially different) will become acceptable.

The attack on the family will grow driven by a demon that embraces homosexuality, destruction of all marriage, sexual insanity and the resultant children of those "families" will become change agents for the worse. This will be promoted by the False Prophet (the cultural spirit embodied by media and entertainment)

Wars not yet imagined will break out as things change. Some will become severe. They will be racial, cultural (yes the cold civil war will become hot) and international as countries attempt to stop what they see as danger by imposing war against a source of the danger as they see it. It will happen as certain countries begin to see the USA (or any other nation) as a danger along the lines of how we saw Iraq after 2001. We went to war because we thought there were WMD's in an unstable nation. That license to conduct a preemptive war is now about to be exercised by other countries and if the USA becomes more unstable than it is today, we will see those nations attack the USA preemptively.

The imagined alliances in the world will dissolve under these attacks. Any illusion that France, Germany or England will come to our aid under such an attack is fantasy. There are no global militaries to stand down a China or Russia who sees the USA as a global danger and takes direct action against her.

As things deteriorate, there will be attempts again and again to take control of other dangerous nations as a precursor. Mexico is one such by its continued lawlessness and corruption (there are small signs there may be progress in this area) stands vulnerable to invasion. IF a nation with a huge military were to move against Mexico (see Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela) supported by a Russian or Chinese Army and all it's might in a 3 pronged attack, do you imagine our government in its weakened condition trying to defend such action? Mexico would fall. I see this coming to a head.

This is not to be feared, it is the wars and rumors that are always with us and will be again. They are threatenings. God may in his mercy judge those but the real judgment is the heeding to the false prophet of the Beast that has brought us to this point. The apex that was the USA a generation ago that knew God now has become a nadir to a generation that has forgotten who God is. That cycle has been part of humanity since Joseph in Egypt. It is again.

God hasn't forgotten us, he wants us to be aware of what our decline and degradation has cost us. How the decisions we made over the last 50 years have brought us to this point. Even mentioning the reasoning of God as he says to us, "Let us reason together" is an offense to the false prophet.

We can only pray and act to have a real impact on a culture and society that no longer knows God. Joseph arise! God have Mercy 

Facing the End with Optimism

The time of this trouble in our world will be global. The high will be brought low.  This will appear to be a good thing for those who are low and feel like the high and mighty deserve this.  The problem is the low will be brought lower and many will not survive this time.  This is not the great tribulation, it is A great tribulation.  It comes as a curse on those nations who have substantially abandoned God and turned to their own ways.  Judgment was always declared on nations, but people in nations suffered.  "All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; Matthew 25:32

There  is going be a complete economic reset in the nations, particularly harsh among those nations who have tried to game the global economic system to sustain unstainables mostly in western countries.  This will mean the collapse of currencies.  This will mean warfare intranationally (civil war) as services collapse.  It will start slowly; Detroit was considered a black swan.  That destiny waits for many cities, states and nations. Prophets have declared in the past that Detroit would be a pattern for the nation.  Many spiritual leaders didn't think it would be like this.  Other cities will collapse, then states and eventually the whole nation.  Once one large western nation collapses, other economic dominoes will follow; one at a time.  That will create the chaos that neutralizes the supposed power of a one world currency.

People will form these smaller subcultures.  Skill will once again become the currency of exchange.  I will do for you as you do for me.  Exchange will be conducted with hand written IOUs in small community groups.  Those who have nothing to offer (skill), those who cannot contribute in these small sustaining subcultures will die.  Man's fallen nature will not support one another in a godless society.  Give to get.  Dog eat dog.

In addition to this the constancy of violent global weather conditions, not unusual, just constant will result in unmet needs in nations.  When earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, tsunamis, epidemics, volcanic eruptions, blizzards, tornadoes, floods, landslides and a hundred other killer events after a global economic collapse (I promise one is coming) there will be no response.  There will be no one left to respond. People will perish.  There will be much death and destruction from this.  There is hope however and it bear the signs of rebirth.  Read on.

All this seems like doom and gloom and the end of all things.  It's not, its birth pangs as the Kingdom of God is advancing.  Those who look to these events as the end of the world aren't looking the optimistic future I see.  BUT, you might say, "Doesn’t seem very optimistic to me".  NO, if we depend on our leadership, our government or a corrupt world economic system, we have good reasons for pessimism.  There is no cause for optimism as long as two altars are in every home, city, church, state and nation.  One allegedly to the God of our Fathers and one to the Beast supported by the false prophet.  We have that now. There are two altars in many churches, Baal and God.  One of prosperity and fertility (Baal) and one of God (Trusting HIM for provision and protection).  It's time for one of them to be torn down.

The result of Baal worship is that those who support it become dog food.  Jezebel and Ahab was a type of this religious system of government with false prophets who supported this evil government and economic bondage system (as is being formed right now in the USA).  The worship of Baal was for the purpose of assuring prosperity. That's the antichrist system we have in effect today.   You don't have to look for the antichrist spirit; he is in the news every day.  You don't have to wonder what religious governmental combine is supported by this.  It's global.  It's a strange combination of the false prophet encouraging tolerance by imposing intolerance.  Islam is one such, but as John the Apostle said, the antichrist is already in the world and there are many antichrists.  When you see a false worship based on peace and prosperity wrapped up in government and supported by media with a degraded culture (as seen on TV and it's not Sham Wow) you see the beginning of the day when it must all be thrown down by the Eunuchs and consumed by the dogs. THROW HER DOWN.

Don't fear this, there will be places of refuge, but they won't be predictable.  They will happen as the Holy Spirit manifests Christ among us.  Many places will remain in deep darkness, but the Holy Spirit will brood above the deep darkness and bring light at His Word.

This will result in the greatest awakening the world has ever known, even in Israel as a sign and a wonder.  Jesus will be manifested even greater than we have ever known.  Nealy all churches as we have known them will dissolve. Our focus on some supposed future event will be discarded for the realization that here and now is the fullness of the Presence of Christ.  In the natural tragedies of flood and famine there will be supernatural events that point to the true and living God. Manna, Healing, Wholeness, Provision.  It is that happening at the hands of Holy Ghost empowered witnesses (not witnessing, being witnesses) demonstrating deliverance to the nations.

This will require sacrificing all the priests of Baal in our lives.  No more can we be of two opinions.  Now only one.  Our God is one.... and HE IS ABLE

Facing the end WITHOUT FEAR

In the beginning of this I said there are deep long cycles.  Even with a destiny for all of us we are operating in patterns easily recognized from the Word of God.  One thing is certain; God will take judgment on the evil of rebellion - Its witchcraft to him.  He will strip away everything that violates the first and second commandments (Thou shalt have no other gods & No graven images or likenesses) until the only thing left is HIM.  He has always done this.  He allows rebellion to run its course until he pulls back hard. Just reading the book of Ezekiel chapter 7 and you can see clearly the pattern.  Gold thrown in the street. Money fails.  Rebellion results in desolation.  It happened before and in rebellion will happen again and again:

Ezekiel 7:10b-22 The rod has budded
Arrogance has blossomed! 11Violence has arisen a rod to punish the wicked. None of the people will be left, none of that crowd— none of their wealth, nothing of value. 12The time has come! The day has arrived! Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller grieve, for my wrath is on the whole crowd. 13The seller will not recover the property that was sold— as long as both buyer and seller live. For the vision concerning the whole crowd will not be reversed. Because of their sins, not one of them will preserve their life. 14“?‘They have blown the trumpet, they have made all things ready, but no one will go into battle, for my wrath is on the whole crowd. 15Outside is the sword; inside are plague and famine. Those in the country will die by the sword; those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague. 16The fugitives who escape will flee to the mountains. Like doves of the valleys, they will all moan, each for their own sins. 17Every hand will go limp; every leg will be wet with urine. 18They will put on sackcloth and be clothed with terror. Every face will be covered with shame, and every head will be shaved. 19“?‘They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be treated as a thing unclean. Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord’s wrath. It will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs, for it has caused them to stumble into sin. 20They took pride in their beautiful jewelry and used it to make their detestable idols. They made it into vile images; therefore I will make it a thing unclean for them. 21I will give their wealth as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked of the earth, who will defile it. 22I will turn my face away from the people, and robbers will desecrate the place I treasure. They will enter it and will defile it.

The result of all this will be a wholesale return to the God of our Fathers.  False religions will fade away.  There will no hope except a return to the Lord.  "Come let us return to the Lord" will be the cry.

There will be no escape.  You won't be able to buy your way out of this.  The only thing that can save you are your relationships horizontally and vertically. God will be in our midst.  Jesus will be manifest.  The Holy Spirit filled saint will walk in authority. 

In the middle of all this will be a recognition of the hopeless worthless materialist things that costs so many everything, even their lives.

This is how people will face the pain, the difficulty. The key to overcoming is grasping an ancient yet now forgotten way of death and dying and the solid trust we can have in an everlasting Father.  Our modern culture no longer faces death with the power of the Holy Ghost and life lived for God.  We see our life and one thing and our purpose in God as another.  Yet, I can make this promise to you; You will not see death until your eternal purpose in the Father is complete.  If you have lost a child or a loved one prematurely, you might question that.  But it's true.. You are immortal in the flesh until....

The fear of death has created a culture that grasps at life above its value.  How did the martyrs of old face death?  Bravely, welcoming, fearlessly, with joy and hope. How did the ancients as they lay dying pronounce blessing to others and then were laid up with their fathers?  How do those who fight in wars are often killed for the cause they fight for and die with courage?  How did the Apostle Paul or Peter face the executioners?  They knew death was coming but with little fear.  They had a revelation of what happens at death. 

Facing the End .. Overcoming the FEAR of DEATH

Satan has caused many saints of God to allow the sting of death to return. He has deceived many into clinging to our mortal meat shells without Godly reason. Yes, we want to live, we can't do much for the Kingdom when we are dead, but we will all die. There is no escape. It is, was and always will be appointed unto man ONCE to die. There is a second death. It is the death of the lost. To the pagan, those lost for eternity, death does and should hold fear. I will not address those things that they fear. There is a way to enter into eternal life. It's visible at nearly every football game. I am more concerned with Christians who fear death needlessly. We need to know with confidence how that last breath happens and means.

What happens when we die? There is great confusion; it's the second time we go thru such radical change. Change is confusing. All change is perceived as loss. Birth was confusing. Darkness to light, Warmth to something new and colder. We cried out. We were confused in this transition. Uncertain. Death has the same effect. As we lie on our deathbed, sometimes we face this with fear, sometimes amazement, a metaphysical roller coaster ride. I understand that as Steve Jobs lay dying, just before he took his last breath, his eyes opened and he said, WOW!. I don't know what that means but I am sure WOW fits. Some withdraw further and further. Sleeping more and more. Recognizing the end and accepting it without struggle. Some do struggle right up till the end in fear. It's understandable.

Yet there is a way to understand death and overcome the fear, the sting, until we can say, “Oh Death where is your sting?”

Is there pain in death? Yes, momentarily. Particularly in a gruesome death. A gunshot, stabbing, bad car accident, execution, torture, a painful death by drowning, suffocation, heart attack or hanging.

Most people imagine they are going to die lying on a bed with friends and family surrounding them. That is not always the case. What of these more difficult unexpected situations of dying in pain. To deny pain is to deny the reality of death. There is however good news, pain is the last ditch effort our flesh fights with to keep us here.

Those who have gone thru this and come back say the pain was momentary, brief, intense and then erased from all memory. Like having a really bad tooth pulled. Pain for a moment and then no more pain. Mortality is not sloughed off easily. This flesh doesn't want to become an empty shell to be buried, burned or abandoned. It wants to hold on as long as it can. But like a teenager who becomes such a pain in the neck that a parent is glad when they leave, so too our flesh causes us more and more discomfort as we age until staying in it is no longer acceptable. It's very much the same syndrome and if we must learn to accept it as normal.

Not that there isn't regret and pain in separation from those we love. That's part of it too. Yet to the Christian, it is those loved ones left behind that suffer. Once death happens for the Believer all pain is gone, all memories that would cause grief dissipates. The sentiment is I'll see you soon. An eternal perspective offers that.

If we could grasp the temporary nature in dying we might not enter into it as full of trepidation as we do. Much of the heroics we commit ourselves to in the false hope that we might live forever in our bodies (or longer anyway) are vain attempts to postpone that which will take us all. It's not a sin. Doing battle with disease is part of life. Jesus (the great physician) healed the sick and raised the dead. Yet all died. It's that eventual reality that must be recognized as we step from time into eternity.

We come into a new reality as a believer who dies in Christ. No pain. No grief. No fear. In the next chapter I will tell you what happens right AFTER you die. And what it's really like on the other side of the veil that stands between time and eternity. Most people don't understand this. If we can.. it will change us forever and we will live in victory --fearless and purposed.

It IS Fathers intent for you to know this as he has downloaded this to many prophets who are speaking the same thing right now.  This is why I am so confident in sharing this at this time.

Facing the End - Entering Eternity Fearlessly

Imagine that you are one and then the other of the two thieves on the cross on either side of Jesus as they died.  One mocked him.  Bravado.  Anger.  Pain.  The other appealed to Jesus.  “Remember me” he said.  Jesus assures him thru his anguish, pain of scourging and beatings, pain of torture on a cross designed to make the dying as long and painful as possible.  All three were suffering. 

The mocking thief faced his final moments in terror.  Not knowing what would be next.  His last breath was a desperate attempt to forestall the moment of life's termination. 

On the other side was the thief that heard the word of the Lord; “TODAY YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE”.  His last breath was welcomed.  He knew that Jesus, the Creator of the universe opened heaven's welcome center for him.  Fear was gone.  He may have been in pain.. But he entered into eternity with hope.  That is Gods best for his children.  Fear of the sting of death is gone...as we will lay dying He says once more ... “TODAY YOU WILL BE WITH ME”.

So what happens to us right after we die? It's the moment after.  Time has now ceased.  We enter eternity. All pain is gone.  Our carcass is empty.  Body and soul are no longer one.   What do we see or experience? What is that moment like?

What we will face in Heaven

There are scriptural evidences and testimonies of a some who have witnessed these things to help us grasp what happens.  We can construct what it will be like using clues with Biblical support. 

The song we can only imagine, as wonderful as it is, comes short of the mark. We can and if we can grasp the vision, fear dissolves.

The moment the thief Jesus Promised died, all people who die in Christ, the moment you die here's what happens:

There is a shock into well being.  We suddenly feel indescribable peace.  Beyond all understanding.  It's overwhelms us.  We can hardly take it in.  Then there is the unimaginable beauty.  It is a manifestation of the fullness of Jesus beauty. Every color comes so alive that we can taste it.  In fact we will taste colors.  Music is everywhere.  All at once.  Remember this is eternity where everything is now.  So our experience in non linear.  It's all now.  Hard for those of us trapped in time to grasp, but to get a small glimpse of what that might be like, think back to a wonderful childhood memory.  A good one.  Think of it.  All the color, music, joy, fun, and love you felt. Now let that emotion come over you.  You see it not in linear fashion but as one good memory, all at once.  The parts you really enjoyed come back again and again.  That's a bad imitation of what eternity is like.  All at once, but able to be parceled out.  

I hear people ask what kind of music will I hear?  It will be your fullness of joy to experience... whatever fits your moment will be heard. For some hymns, for some chants, for some choruses, for some classical, for some a gospel song, or even a joyful rap.  It's your eternity and Father will speak to you in the context you understand.  You will grasp that it's all one.  Yet differentiable, yet we will not know of the differences others have.

You will have unspeakable joy.  No remembrances from earth that have contain any regret or pain... the pain you had in life will fit into your understanding and there will be no questions.  The Idea that you are going to ask questions of Jesus when you get there will be needless.  You will have full understanding of all.  You will know who you really are.  There will be no more self doubt.  How you fit into the whole while on earth will make perfect sense in a supernatural way.  That is why there is no recognized hierarchy in heaven.  One saint is as another.  Fullness and fitly joined together.  This sudden recognition of your place in the universe will take your breath away.

Your capacity for experience will multiply a thousand times or more.  You will experience heaven as if you had 5000 senses instead of 5.  Every color, every sound, every taste, everything you hear, everything you feel, and the fragrance... it will be amazing.  You will understand what a vapid colorless place life on earth was.  You won't regret it...but wish everyone could experience what you are experience.

You will live without confusion. No question. Your only desire will be to worship.  It will all be so clear.  Bowing in worship, raising hands.  Singing.  The Sea of Glass is a desire hidden in the hearts of men.  We want to be there.  Whatever we do will make all the sense...in heaven.  It will be automatic.  You will want to enter into who HE is so completely as to be lost in Him.  You were created for this.  The beauty of Jesus will be revealed again and again. It will be all one but eternal.  It will never be boring.  Love will be overwhelming. 

You will have a form.  A spirit form.  Yet you will look to others as you were remembered best.  Known as you were known. Recognized... yet it is your spirit that they see.. the rest is construct.  In fact you have only a spirit.  It's hard to explain, but you won't have arms, legs or a head as you know yourself, but to those who see you, you will look as you did to them.  I know that's hard to understand but think of a child who dies young.  Her daddy is 25 years old.  She will see him thus.  His brother who dies at 50 will remember him as about his age and his wife who follows him in death will see that man thru the eyes of love. His mother who bore him and died in childbirth will see him as a young boy.  They will all know him, but all in context and construct.  Its how people who die see grandparents and such waiting for them... as they knew them.

It will not seem an unfamiliar place to be explored.  You will already know all about it.  It will seem normal, someplace you already knew.  In a strange way, heaven was always in your heart. 

You have had glimpses of it.  This is why the idea of reincarnation keeps coming up in false religions.  There is a sense of going back, so people try to explain the origin of all life (JESUS saying let there be) as a reincarnation.  It's not.  But it is a type of returning... Remember, once there, all here is now.  To grasp this scripturally, you are already seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus...yet you are here.  In that way you return to heaven.

It is impossible to describe so those who have had a glimpse of Heaven are lost for words. 

One thing is certain, once you have been there and come back the fear of death, even the fear of the pain of death is gone.

People don't GO to heaven.  They enter heaven.  Heaven is infinite in proximity.  Right here. Right there.  Just there.  It is easier to think of it a long long away somehow out there, but it's here. Not on earth, well kind of.  More on that in the last post.

When people die they step from the cloak of time into the uncloaking of eternity.  We are locked in a box called time and enter into an unlimited vista called NOW..  Eternity. 

Facing the End.. Left Behind 

The hardest part for those still here after someone steps from time into eternity is the sense of being left behind (there is still pain in loss).  Once our loved ones step from time into eternity they are unaware of us.  They don't forget us, they know who we are, but they are not aware of us once they are in eternity.  They are not part of any cloud of witnesses.  They are oblivious to us after the point of death.  Think about what it would be like for them to be aware of our actions, reactions and rebellions.  They do not become angels. Not even Mary the Mother of Jesus. She is there, but she is not an angel.  I don't want to upset my Catholic friends but the apparitions of Mary are supernatural communications but not Mary.  People saw her because it was a form of communication.  Sometimes perhaps even demonic. Measurement of that must be made in the light of Scripture.  An Angel taking a form acceptable to us can be a way Father uses His messengers to communicate something he can't get done another way.  Look at all the times angel messengers were used and documented to communicate something. It's still happening.

Those people now in heaven don't see or sense us.  They are in glory.  BUT we can sense them.  They can't come to us, there are no ghosts.  We will only go to them.  They can't come to us.  David proclaimed that when his infant son died.  It's a truth we must grasp.

When someone who has lost a loved one says, "It feels like they are still here or I can feel or sense their presence" it's true.  They are just there.. just on the other side of the veil.  A very thin veil.

You can feel it. You sense them. Yet this is not so for them.  They wait for you.  They remember you in the completed tapestry that was their life in time.  But you are now frozen in their memory.  After they die, they don’t see you again.  You can talk, pray and cry out to them, but they are deaf to your cries.  Praying to saints is fruitless.  YET... of your loved ones gone - you can sense the love they had for you and bask in it... as they wait for you to come.  The veil between you and them is very thin and sometimes is breached for a moment.. you to them but not them to you.  They are in Glory and you are still here in the battle.  They are right there... just there, you can almost reach out and touch them on the other side of the veil.  Think of what the transfiguration was like for Moses?  Did he see to our side?

Jesus and all the angels have no problem moving from time into eternity and back again.  There is no confusion for them.  That's how Jesus ascending into heaven and returning seemed to break thru some veil.  I wonder how high it appeared Jesus was when he seemed to disappear?  Fifty feet, a hundred, a thousand?  It seemed as if he entered a cloud and then was gone.  In the same way he came back again.... in a cloud.  The veil appears like a cloud.  Not that it is a cloud.. it is the separation between time and eternity. 

Cloud is the only way someone seeing it can describe it.  It's a portal that opens and as angels step thru it looks like stepping into or out of a cloud.

Jesus appears often on earth. Has to many.  He sees us.  He is God.  Your uncle Art is not.  He is now like Jesus in bodily form in heaven, but not God. 

Angels are assigned messengers and with messages come from and return to heaven.  Your uncle Art will never be an angel.  Your uncle Art will be one who came into heaven a little higher than the angels yet never assigned to return to earth.  That's for other created beings. 

This is also how supernatural provision comes.  Remember the storeroom of heaven is just over there.  Just the other side of the veil.  Very close in proximity.  So when we look to heaven's provision we are able to receive as the veil is breached and those things stored up for us are delivered into our hands.  Sometimes it's manna.  Sometimes it's rain when you need it.  Sometimes it's deliverance.  Sometimes its protection.  Sometimes it's money in a fish.  Those things happen as heaven touches earth for a moment in answer to prayer.

One thing that becomes clear in heaven when the revelation comes of HIS greatness and majesty. The earth, the sun, the moon, the solar system, the galaxies, all the galaxies, all of creation suddenly fade into proper perspective in our sight of the Creator.  Will earth exist...?  Yes but in proper perspective. 

All of creation will roll up like a scroll into the proper relationship to her creator.  You won't be in awe of them any more, but in awe of the maker.  There will be very little to cause you to want to be other than in HIS presence... except that HE is everywhere.  If you decide you want to visit Jupiter or Mars (like the old song says) you can think it and be there.  You won't need air or a spaceship.  You won't --- not moving, you'll just be.

All the things you read and memorized from scripture will make sense.  There will be things you were taught or believed here on earth that will seem like nonsense. But that was then.  In eternity the silly things you thought will fall away as the TRUTH takes center stage.. I AM the TRUTH HE said.

Not everyone will make it to heaven.  Will you know if your loved ones are missing and grieve?  Probably not.  There are no tears in heaven.  No grief. No pain.  So from the moment you die till your loved ones appear at heaven's portal you will be unknowing.  It's not a sanitized experience; it's one that provides only for your fit into the whole.

These things are hard to explain.  The centrality of Jesus is what makes it all hold together (according to Scripture).  He will so overwhelm you with His glory you will not notice so many things that distract on earth.

You can live like this.  You can grasp your eternal nature now. 

Epilogue

There is much more to say, but like Paul the Apostle said,

“It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord: I know a man in Christ who fourteen years whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities. For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me” (2 Corinthians 12:1–6)

I won't tell you how I know all these things, you must measure them all by scripture.  They will prove to be true as they are.

Prophet Gene



What about end times:
 There is no rapture. Never was. The "Join Him in the AIR” is true.. but not as a rapture.

    Jesus is here. Always has been as he promised. He manifests but only for a brief time. He is as good as His word.... NEVER leaving or forsaking. He's here. We do not know how to recognize him. We are like the men on the road to Emmaus.

    The world is not about to end, it is however going to go thru times of great trouble, but that has been going on in history since time began. These tribulations are part of a great cycle. There is no Great Tribulation yet there will be tribulations.

    False religions will be shown up to be the beast and the beast will manifest himself as the persecutor of the faithful.

Jesus is hated by the devil and when he inspires demonized people to take control of a religious system it becomes demonic government. The current beast is Islam. No longer a religion it has now become a tool of satan to destroy the Kingdom of God. Of course in the face of great persecution comes great revival. When the devil comes in, LIKE A FLOOD God raises up a standard against him.

Don't fear persecution, don't embrace it either. Recognize it as part of the cycle. When Islam is destroyed and discredited, there will be another. The devil has no new strategies, that's why the writers of the Bible could talk with such certitude about such things. It did happen, people lost their heads for their profession of faith, they are losing them today around the world and will even more in the future.
   
Facing the END in Victory

There are “Biblical” ideas that have been presented that are not accurate. It's not just the eschatology, it is an understanding of the victory over sin and death that was fought and WON at the cross witnessed by an empty tomb over 2000 years ago.

Someday the world will indeed cease to exist as we knew it physically...yet it will never end. When Jesus is revealed (either upon our stepping from time into eternity or when the earth dissolves... as must happen eventually) we will see HIM as HE really is. The scroll will be rolled back and then the SON will shine brighter than the SUN. That is the revelation of HIM that we will all see together. It's not going to happen soon. Stop looking for it. There is no great showdown ending with the world ceasing to exist. The Kingdom of God is not going to stop advancing until the end of the WORLD... so enjoy the journey without fear.

How about the mark of the beast, the one world money system, the "no man can buy or sell except"? All happened and will happen again and then will not. In fact eventually all attempts to create a single currency fails (see Bitcoin). At one time all of the Roman Empire used a single currency. How about now? Attempts and failures over the centuries to control commerce by creating fiat currency has always ended in defeat. Its not to say the devil doesn't try it again and again, it's just destined to fail. In fact soon God's judgment will once again manifest to crush this vain attempt. This worldwide system will collapse.

What about the bowls of wrath, the vials, the hailstones, the four corners, the winds, the beast from the sea, the "hide me", the terrors of Revelation? They all happened right on schedule in AD 72. The religious system of the Beast Judaism and Government were crushed and destroyed. Since all things in the earth have been deep long term cycles and birth pangs, they happen again and again and again as the Kingdom advances.

Those who doubt God's capacity to bring judgment on evil don't own a newspaper, radio, TV or have access to Internet news. YET all these things are past, present and future... as the Kingdom increases. Don't read the news with an eye towards the end, or Jesus coming thru the clouds; He did, in the sight of the High Priest. And he will again, in a show of his GLORY as this beast system is once again put to dust, to shame.

Think of all the beast systems that are now properly filed in the dustbin of history. Baal, Greek, Roman and Norse god Worship (remember Zeus and Odin?), Egyptian gods of government now only exist in hieroglyphics, who knows what Stonehenge was all about, or the Mayan and Aztec gods who were sacrificed to of human flesh and in more modern times Japan, China, Nazi and certain African nations who considered their leaders gods or demi gods. Now all gone. Only Jesus remains. And at some point when Islam is exposed it too will die the death all false religion dies. As will Hindu and all other. Only Christ, the true and living God will survive the millennial. All others are judged.
Jesus spoke of certain times in Matthew 24. They all came to pass exactly as he predicted in 72AD. Yet we must also be aware of the cycles.... deep and long. Catastrophe has come and will come again so the warnings Jesus makes are still efficacious to heed. We ignore them as history at our own risk. They are History, but they ring true as the great cycles of humanity turn. We lurch from obscurity, to abundance, to bondage and then into catastrophe. It has been ever thus and the Books of Kings and Chronicles are there as a shadow of what we expect.

The lawless acts warned about to Timothy by Paul are true. Men do wax worse and worse....then the cycle turns, revival comes, repentance and GLORY shines. It will happen again. We are not far from a much greater revival (accompanied by greater persecution) than you can imagine.

I write all this not to convince you to change your thinking. That is a journey you must take for yourself. There are many great books and blogs to help you find the way. If however you persist in believing that somehow you will be spared by some escape in the future (rapture), you are about to be discouraged. You won't escape, you will be hidden, you can be in Goshen, you can live in the provision and protection of the Lord, but you will not escape unscathed. If you look at the long cycles of history, you will see it.

There are things taught wrongly in many circles that must be ignored.

There is something about the people Israel. There is much we don't grasp. Who they are and what they represent to God in his illogical covenant commitment to such a rebellious people. Those who are grafted in later (that would be you and me) are just as rebellious. If I were God I would have chosen a much more worthy race of folks, Germans perhaps. (OK that's a joke) In any case, ignoring what is happening with the covenanted people even in rebellion is intentional spiritual blindness. The very fact that they now speak the language Moses spoke and was spoken to at the burning bush and occupy the same land is not without prophetic meaning. This is a sign to those of us who are grafted in to have confidence in our God. They may lose the land, but the covenant will still be in place. He is not an indian giver God.

God's great advancing Kingdom is becoming greater. Have hope in God.
