Friday's Mad Mad World!

Greetings Precious Saints! And Happy Good Friday to you!. (Although, I believe Jesus was crucified earlier in the week) I thought about not doing a Good Friday post, but I know you all are anxious for the news of the week. I was called out by a friend this past week for putting out too much depressing news and not focusing more on all the good the Lord is doing in this world. Yes, the Lord is doing marvelous things across the globe, and many are getting saved and healed and restored! Praise His name! Yet, this is not what my Friday Posts are for. My intent is to connect world news with prophecy in the Bible so that we can all see how close we are to going home! My intent is NOT to depress anyone, but rather to encourage you all that our time here is short and soon we will be with our Savior! If that doesn't get you excited, nothing will!

My other motivation is to inspire lukewarm Christians to get serous about their walk with the Lord, and also to perhaps save someone who happens across this post and sees that there is, indeed, a God who told us what would happen in this world long before it came to pass. No, I don't present the Gospel every time, but a quick search of my website will produce many articles on how to have a relationship with Jesus.

All of us have an individual calling from God. Some are helpers, encouragers, evangelists, pastors, teachers, prophets, miracle-workers...etc. God may call someone to be a housewife and mother and raise Godly children, while someone else may be sent into the workplace to witness there to their coworkers. Other persons may be called to the mission field, children's ministry, or helping out in their local church. I have been called to write novels that glorify God and to warn God's children that Jesus is returning soon. I make no apology for trying to fulfill that calling. I'm human and I may not always succeed in the best way possible, but my heart is in the right place... and that is to lift up the name of Jesus at all times.

Having said that, Praise Jesus, for His HUGE sacrifice for us. I don't think any of us can ever grasp the agony of what He went through... not merely physical, though they say that was more painful than what any man suffered. But spiritual and emotional too. Jesus had never ever been separated from His Father, yet while all OUR sin was placed on Him, Father God had to turn His face away. Not only that, but I've heard multiple pastors agree that Jesus then went down to Sheol where he suffered the punishment due us. All I can say is THANK YOU, Jesus, I love you with all my heart! And I look forward to seeing you soon!

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?As it is written:

“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:36-39

Do you have anyone else here on earth? Take them and get out!

As we approach the close of the age, I run across many people who are very concerned about their lost loved ones. Will they be taken in the Rapture? What if they get left behind? How will they endure? Worse, what if they die in their sins? As a mother of a prodigal, I agree that it's absolutely terrifying!

Yet God does not give us a Spirit of Fear, right? (2 Tim 1:7) In fact, a quick search of the Bible reveals 170 "Fear nots" and 80 "be not afraids" Fear is the opposite of faith and anything not done in Faith is sin to God. (Hebrews 11:6) Yikes! But how can we not fear for our loved ones going to hell? The very thought of it makes me sick to my stomach.

One of my favorite stories in the Old Testament is the story of Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah. There are so many facets to this story that amaze me such as ...

1. That Abraham was allowed to bargain with God to save Sodom if there were a certain number of righteous people in it! The Lord knew all along exactly how many righteous there were in the city, yet He allowed Abraham to ramble on. (Gives me hope in my prayer life!) They finally settled on 10. Just 10 righteous!

2. Lot was not particularly a Godly man. If you read the stories involving him, he seemed rather selfish, self-centered, and obviously not a good father. What was Lot's saving grace? He was Abraham's nephew and Abraham loved him. Do you love a family member who isn't displaying Godly character?

You know the story. The Lord sent angels to get Lot and his family out before He rained down sulfur and destroyed the city. A homosexual mob tried to assault the angels. Lot tried to protect them, even offering his daughters to them, but the angels had the final word. Recently I was reading this story and these words of the angels leapt out at me. I don't honestly remember seeing them before.

“Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city—take them out of this place! For we will destroy this place..." Genesis 19:12-13

Lot then went in search of his son-in-laws. Now, these 2 young men were NOT married to Lot's daughters yet. We know that because the Scripture says Lot's daughters were virgins. They were no doubt engaged to Lot's daughters. Lot found them, but they didn't believe him and didn't want to leave. In fact, Scripture says they thought he was joking. However, it's obvious from Scripture that if the men had wanted to leave, they could have. This astounds me! Why? Because these men were obviously not righteous, but if they had agreed to be saved, they would have been. Indeed, they were only asked because of their relation to Lot!

This gives me great hope for my lost loved ones! God saves families! God created families! God is the Father of a Family of believers, a bride for His Son! He understands the bond and love between family members.

And HE is asking you now, “Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city—take them out of this place!"

How do you do that? By prayer, intense, fervent prayer and fasting. Time is short. Get on your knees everyday and pray for your lost loved ones! Quote the above Scripture to the Lord and say "Yes, I have others here!" Then name them. Ask for God to open their hearts to Him, to open their eyes. Ask Him to send a Godly believer across their path to witness to them. Ask and never stop asking! God answers prayers, especially prayers of his true children!

I'm also reminded of the stories of Rahab and Noah. Rahab was a prostitute who helped two spies from Israel escape Jericho. She was a believer in the God of Israel and asked for mercy from the spies when the Israelites attached Jericho. They gave her instructions to gather ALL her family "bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household to your own home" and put a scarlet cord out her window. Hence, ALL of Rahab's family was saved.

Noah. The Bible records that ONLY Noah was found righteous. It makes no mention that his wife, sons, and daughters-in-law were righteous. Yet, they all were permitted on the Ark to be saved.

In Acts 16, Peter told the jailer how to be saved.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Why did he say household? How would Peter know whether the man's household would also believe?

There are a ton of other Scriptures about families. I encourage you to seek them out. Don't give up! The Lord hears. The Lord loves it when we use His Word in our requests to Him. He cannot help but answer and give us our requests!!! Be encouraged and get to work. Time is short!

Friday's Mad Mad World!

Greetings precious Saints of the Most High! Welcome to another episode of our Mad World! It is indeed mad! Lots more mayhem and madness, lots more evil. Things that struck me. Diseases are cropping for which we have no cure, and a Black hole was photographed for the first time. Many believe this is connected to CERN and a portal into other dimensions. Really interesting stuff!

A couple of things on my mind
When a nation loses its freedom of speech, when a nation loses its free press, that nation is easily subdued by its government. We are on the verge of the New World Order taking over. I'm not being overly dramatic here. Listen to the video below entitled "Who really runs the world?". 80% of Internet searches go through Google. They have the power and are already using it to pick and choose what is displayed with your searches... i.e.. what news you see, what articles you read. Facebook and Twitter also filter what their customers see. Note that most of this new generation coming up get their news and world information from these tech social media giants. This should scare the pants off you! Also 90% of the professional media is aligned with the democratic party agenda. It's all about power and money and if you think this is all a conspiracy theory, you have your head in the sand.

Don't trust your government. I hate to say that because America, in my opinion, has been one of the greatest nations on earth. But it is not great any longer. Trump or no Trump, America is run by a group of elites who only want power and money. They do not care about the people in this country, except for the votes they can get them from us. This is why they don't want borders, why they want illegals to have the right to vote... it's all a power grab! Why do you think most congressmen and women who go into congress no wealthier than the rest of us, but come out millionaires! And they call them "Public servants!" They are mooching off the American people by taking brides from special interests and then voting accordingly. The upper ranks of these elites are poisoning our food, manipulating our weather, starting wars, and polluting our skies. All for money and power. How do you control the masses? Through lies, deceptions, AND through food and medical care (which is why they also want government to control health care) See below "Globalists are implementing food as a weapon strategies" Please, America. Wake up!

My Rapture Dream!

I hesitated to share a recent dream I had, but after a few weeks of prayer and talking with the Lord, I feel it will benefit others. First of all, I rarely dream. In fact, I rarely get into a deep enough sleep to dream at all. Secondly my dreams are always weird, bizarre, and usually make no sense (probably a reflection of my brain!) and I also barely remember them. However, I've been asking the Lord for a dream about the rapture for some time now. I've begged him for something encouraging that may give me a clue as to the timing. Well a little over a week ago, I had a dream. Afterward, I woke up and it was around 3 in the morning and I was so excited, I could hardly get back to sleep.

Here's the dream. (It's a miracle I can remember all of it in such detail!)

I was in a house, but it wasn't my house. There were a group of people in the main living area, but I was in a bedroom working. It looked like I was folding laundry or cleaning my fish tank! I heard a faint trumpet of Shofar blow. I looked up from what I was doing and listened for it again. It sounded again and was louder.

I ran through the main living area of the house and out the front door. The sky was black, but it wasn't night. Big black storm clouds covered the sky. I heard the Shofar again and I got real excited. I said. "This is it, this is it!" As I kept looking up, I saw planes start to fall from the sky as if there were no pilots on them. More than one.. it seemed like a dozen or so in my view.

Then I felt my body change. It started to transform into a much younger, stronger, body that had no pain at all in it. I ran back into the house to tell the people. I can't say how many people were there but at least a dozen, maybe more. I told them the rapture was happening. Some of them were very excited, jumping up and down, but others just shrugged and kept doing whatever they were doing before.

Then the scene changed

I was in the audience of a playroom or studio. I still had my transformed body. The room was dark and there was a stage lit up and people were putting on a show. The actors were singing and dancing and celebrating sort of like a parade or one of those old variety shows on TV. In the corner of the stage were the initials CBS, so I remember thinking this was a live TV filming of some show. The seats in the audience were like bleachers in a stadium and they were filled with people who were cheering. However beside me, there was a woman. She was very large, as in obese, and she was sobbing. She dropped her head in her hands and continued crying. I scooted closer to her to try and help her and she looked up and said. "I should have listened to you." Then she went back to crying.

That was the end of the dream.
I remember as I was coming out of the dream, I kept saying I wanted to stay. I didn't want to wake up! I was very very excited.

The next day I remembered the dream in great detail. Which is very unusual in itself. In fact, I can see scenes of it still so clearly in my mind. I consulted with two Holy Spirit filled friends of mine and between them and much prayer, and through what I believe I heard from the Lord, here is the interpretation.

The house I was in represents the church. Not a specific church but the corporate body of Christ. I was not in the main room of the house because I no longer belong to a church, nor do I consider myself a member of any church or denomination. In fact, I haven't gone to church in over 3 years. I have been unable to find one in my area that is Holy Spirit filled and preaches the entire Gospel. (I could write a sermon on that, but I won't here)

The Shofar, of course, represents the Trumpet that will be blown at the rapture.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 1 Thess 4:16

The Black Stormy sky represents the coming Tribulation, which will occur right after or even as the rapture takes place

The planes falling from the sky (though they were a confirmation to me during the dream that the rapture was occurring) represent one of three things -- Alien invasion, meteor shower, or Fallen Angels. We know from Revelation 12 there is a war occurring in heaven right now, but soon Satan and his angels will be cast down to earth.

And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 7-9

We also know from Revelation that meteors and asteroids will hit the earth during the Tribulation. And the alien invasion is one possible scenario our enemy has planned to deceive the entire world into believing there is no God.

Some of the people in the house were excited and some were not represents that only part of the church will be looking for and excited about the Lord's return. Only some will be living for the Lord when He comes back. The rest are too in love with the world to care.
So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Rev 3:16

The TV Show - represents the world celebrating that the "religious nuts" holding back society are finally gone. A stage usually represents the world in dreams. The antichrist will rise and bring world peace and everyone will be celebrating and partying.

Update! (04/11/2019) The Lord gave me the meaning of "CBS" in my dream. It doesn't just represent a TV network. He led me to look it up and it stands for "Columbia Broadcast System". So then I looked up Columbia. Washington D.C. is also called the District of Columbia!!! So, I believe much of the false narrative about the rapture, the deception, and in this case the celebration after we are gone will come out of Washington D.C.!

So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Rev 13:4

The Large Woman represents the group of people who called themselves Christians, who thought they were going in the rapture, but who were left behind. Her obese size doesn't represent that she ate too much, but that she had spent her time here on earth pleasing herself and indulging in earthly pleasures instead of loving and serving God and her fellow man. She will know what happened and she will be horrified, filled with sorrow, and repentant. Her saying "I should have listened to you." wasn't directed at me, but at all of those who are warning others to get right with God because the Lord is coming soon. .

And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. Matt 10:38

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15

While the dream didn't give me the timing I was seeking, it confirmed for me what I have believed from Scripture: That not everyone who claims to be a Christian will go in the rapture. that most of the church is not paying attention and doesn't care, and that the world will be rejoicing when we are gone. However, since this is the very first rapture dream I've ever received, I believe just by giving it to me, the Lord is saying "I'm near. Right at the door!"

Maranantha, Lord Jesus!

Friday's Mad Mad World!

Greetings precious saints! Lots of happenings this week. Just when you thought you'd heard it all, more evil rears its ugly head. Keep looking up. We are so close, so very close. I read the story of Lot recently and in 2 Peter 2, he describes how Lot felt living in Sodom.

Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless, for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard

I feel just like that! Tormented and in complete anguish at the depravity all around me. Do you?
Come, Lord Jesus!
