THE COMING STORM IS NOW COMING SOON!

It is with a heavy heart that I repost this but it is apparent to me that I have to and today. Other than Israel of old I cannot think of any nation or the Church within a nation that has been so thoroughly warned. If God has to chose between the purity of His Church and the life of a nation, He WILL choose the purity of His Church, even at the expense of our comfort.

DREAM: THE COMING STORM

Written Feb 20th 2014    

Today, I found myself needing a rest in my heart and mind from things so I lay down on the couch for a "few minutes" and found myself in a state where I was neither awake or asleep. I had this very long dream unfold where I was trying to get into someone else's basement because I was aware that a "tornado" was coming because the sky had gotten very dark and ominous. Apparently the house had been abandoned because I got into the house very easily. 

While I was pounding on the door of that basement to get to safety, I discerned that there was somebody down there but they wouldn't respond or let me in. I forced my way in and found I had interrupted a man who had kidnapped an older middle aged Asian woman and was attempting to rape her in that basement. Just as I was about to intervene, the storm and it's destruction came and I quickly pulled the woman into a small space in the basement for safety. The only thing I was aware of was the darkness, the incredibly loud noise of houses being destroyed and the sense of the fearful power of that storm.... When the storm seemed to have passed and we went out from that small space, the man had been pierced through with debris and was dead. The entire house had been destroyed.

We went out and saw devastation everywhere for miles and miles as we walked to find an area that was not devastated. Most of the dream (over an hour) was walking and seeing endless miles and miles of the devastation. If it was a "tornado," it was like no tornado on earth...

While we were walking, it became apparent that those who had survived the storm, (and there didn't seem to be many) had become desperate in their quest to survive to the point where they were acting like packs of animals. They were roaming about in the miles of devastation raping, murdering and stealing at will. Even from each other. They seemed to bear the same character as the man in the basement. Even though they were committing evil, they had no sense of remorse. It was like they expected their victims to submit to their evil as though they were somehow justified in what they were doing.

The woman had apparently suffered some kind of trauma earlier in her life and she could not speak as a result of that trauma. That is also why she could not call out when I was banging at the door of that basement in the beginning. Even though she had suffered trauma earlier in life, which I suspected was rape, she had an abiding air of purity to her and I had a deep sense that I needed to be her protector and reassure her of the purity of my intentions to do so.

Apparently we were walking to the place where the woman lived and when we finally got there, to my surprise, the house was completely intact. I asked her, "This is your home?" and she lowered her head like someone in shame. Discerning the situation, I then said to her, "You are a slave in this house?" She nodded yes. She had been a slave in that house all her life... It didn't seem like anybody was there but she insisted upon staying there despite the danger of the roving gangs finding her so I reluctantly went off to find my children...

Then I slid out of the dream completely rested and in a wonderful sense of peace. Ironically(?) my facebook news-feed was still on and when I went to the computer, there was a short post from an acquaintance who mentioned that he was having spiritual dreams of a very destructive tsunami... The thought went through my mind and heart, "Pay Attention!"

Several hours later, I had some insights come to me even though I wasn't especially looking for it. 

-That the massive destructive storm was financial in nature and more devastating than anyone can even conceive of.

-The Asian woman was those people who live in a communist dominated Asian country (or countries) that had (have) suffered greatly during the communist takeover of their country and had been made to be silent and serve the communist agenda that has ruled their country all these years.

-Her purity is found in the believers in the Lord Jesus (the church) among them that has been purified through the fires of suffering and persecution.

-The rapist was trying to gain control of her and get her to submit to what he wanted from her.

-His terrible death was the judgement of God.

-Both the rapist and the gangs of  lawless men are those who control the finances of the world through their wealth and power, so much so that some of them survive the financial destruction of the "storm."

-Their self-serving nature will no longer be subject to any form of conscience towards others.

The Basis of Marriage and the Church

This is not perfect but then we should never presume anything written as perfect except the scriptures. Please consider this in that light. I did not really feel comfortable altering it from the way it came out. Also as the the last section on "marriage", let it not be abused and taken as license to sin....

"My sheep hear my voice and they follow me." 

A brother and I were praying in the spirit one day in an old fire damaged house I had bought back in 2002 when suddenly there appeared a line of fire between us. It was forcing us to choose what side of the fire we were going to be on and then it got so big that there was no way to jump over it. Then the vision was over.

I worked on that fire damaged house for four long hard years and by using older materials from houses that had been torn down and some new material was able to not only restore it but it was the most beautiful structurally stable house in the neighborhood inspiring many others to improve their houses.

But the cost of restoring the house became so great that My wife and I struggled to make the payments to the bank and though we lived in it about 5 years, we finally had to put it up for sale for far less than it was worth.

When we walked out of that house after it was bought by two homosexuals all we had left was enough to start over. So for all my hard labor to build that house, the house was then occupied by what I detested (not the people themselves).

He who has ears to hear let him hear...

 I didn't understand how God was using all this prophetically. I just lived through it and He formed the situation. The external "houses of God" and country that we have built after 9/11's warning from God went unheeded by both the country and the church as a whole is about to be divided between the profane and the holy.

I do know that "the spear that we are leaning on is going to peirce our hand." with sorrows. That the decisions that He is going to bring us to will also force us to choose between the "houses of God" built by men and the "HOUSE OF GOD" He is building in Spirit.

Years ago the LORD showed me that the non-profit status in relationsionship to the government of churches and ministries was going to change dramatically and that those who were not willing to "compromise" with the "fire" he was going to allow would not retain that status and that the boy scouts of America would be the first one to fall by either compromising or losing their NP status by standing against an immoral and unlawful demand.. At the time decades ago I didn't know what that would be.

According to law a non-profits disolution [disolving] ] (funds, building, etc) has to go to another NP corporation. Many will not be willing to count that cost as true gain.

But the beauty of all this was that the True church connected by the Spirit would rise up in that day and be seen in it's true form and glory.

But then knowing that eventuality, why are we so relying upon political influence and power? What is wrong with us that we embrace something that should not even once be named among us. Our connection to the government is the very thing that allows us to divide endlessly into 10's of thousands of legal independent identities - something that is no different than the world system we now live in.

So that being said brings up an important point:

Are we married when we have a "ceremony" saying so or the government says so or is it the decision to come together as one as God designed even in our physical beings to be outfitted and honored not for our external status with the world or even our status with an external church that itself is living in adultery with it's own governments but rather our faithfulness to live out our lives together unto death.

Then much more so should the CHURCH and those of us who believe rely upon our status with HIM and faithfulness to HIM unto death and NOT our status with the government or even the external religious form of the church?

When JESUS died upon the cross and shed HIS blood, HE said, "IT IS FINISHED!" HE set indelibly the relationship between His church and Himself forever. No ceremonial or legal status can ever "further" or deny what he has done. We are saved solely by faith in the shed blood of Jesus and His Promise (or binding betrothal) that He will keep His word to us.

So if a marriage is not determined by ceremony or legal governmental status but by faithfulness to one's promise unto death, so it is with God's Church.

The Trumpet Blast

A sound rising up out of dead silence,
Like no other, the trumpet blast is heard.

The sound of all the trumpets in the universe,
blowing at the same time...

From the highest pitch beyond reason,
To the most uncomfortable deep bass.

From the softest, almost inaudible sound,
To the loudest sound imaginable,
They all blow their trumpets together as one.

The earth trembles and shakes at the sound,
Men fall on their knees in fear and trembling -
And every thought is laid captive,
      to what is coming.

The mountains are leveled, the valleys filled,
And there is no place to hide from the sound.
It is the sound of the Body of Christ together with
The hosts of Heaven all crying out with one voice,

"The day of the LORD is at hand..." 

The earth is being prepared for that day,
The day of the return of it's Messiah (Saviour).

Those awaiting His return are crying out with one voice,
From the softest whisper to the loudest scream,
At the same time, with the same mind and heart,
with their voices beginning to sound out,

"Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus!"

Blow, trumpets! Blow!

THE LAST WORD TO AMERICA

Left unheeded, this is the final word to the nation called "America."



I listened to this in tears yet a certain joy of expectancy. This is the FINAL word to this nation. If it goes unheeded the judgement is set. 

But I was very clearly reminded of a vision I had when we were praying in a fire damaged house one day. I was shocked for a minute when a ditch with fire appeared right in the living room we were praying in. The fire was so hot that no one could ever cross over it to the other side. As the Church in America, we have underestimated the day we are living in and the ONE whom we say we are serving. 

The other thing that came to me was a fearful sense that the day is coming soon that the "spear that the church is leaning on is about to pierce it's hand." Our reliance and confidence, even our own church identities is leaning on the strength of our relationship to the government but that is about to pierce our hand instead. 

We have invested in politics, our worldly strengths and our non-profit status with the government but all that is about to fall into the pit. We will be faced with doing without it and our politics, worldly strengths and organizational strengths and retaining our relationship with God or falling into the pit with those things we are holding onto. Oh the image of the "Church" may still remain but it will not be God's Church - it will be another's. 

The remnant Church is about to be stripped naked of it's unclean garments and given another - one that is holy and acceptable to God - but it will be substantially smaller than the one we perceive as God's today. It is that fear that will drive many "leaders" to lead many astray to save their outward form instead of preparing those they have influence over to face the day that is fast approaching.

What Jesus is counseling us to do is to "buy gold refined in the fire." Those who have suffered for the Lord's name sake, overcome and prosper, by nature will have greater wisdom of God...

USA: We Are Blinded By Deception

Genocide

53,000,000 children (Who would now be American citizens) have been butchered over the last four and a half decades by the USA. That's approximately 1/6th of the current population of the United States. If God was going to overlook that, He would have to have Adolf Hitler canonized as a saint. If we could hear those children crying out, "How many more have to die. How long Lord before you avenge us of our blood..." we would be rightfully terrified. Those cries have been mounting for 45 years and of late have become deafening in Heaven. If this nation ignores this warning any further, that will be a fatal mistake. This country is slowly heading towards eliminating not just the unborn "undesirables" but ALL "undesirables."

Wars

Since WWII, the greatest military power in the world has not won a single war (call it what you like) and ultimately has retreated leaving a horrible mess in the aftermath:

• Korea
• Vietnam
• Iraq
• Afghanistan (soon)
• By our foreign policies and questionable "covert" activities initiating a never ending "war on terror" that has spread out potentially all over the world causing untold millions to live in fear of the next explosion in their midst

Arab Springs

Covertly or openly supporting and encouraging "Arab Spring" revolts resulting in nothing less than chaos and misery for those whose countries and economies now lay in shambles in the hope of "spreading democracy":

• Libya
• Egypt
• Syria

The Statistics

1. 50-60% of marriages during that time have ended in divorce
2. 47% of present children were born out of "wedlock"
3. Reproductive Sex without the permanent commitment of marriage (as it has been known as up until now) is the norm.
4. 5% of third graders have had sex. 50% of all high school students have engaged in sex - a large majority with multiple partners
5. Has become the world's largest producer and exporter of pornography
6. The "Entertainment Industry" who has lost any sense of moral compass
7. A population who is rapidly discarding any sense of true moral values and replacing them with psuedo values who have been left with:

• An economy virtually crashed and artificially restored that is now nothing more than a helium filled balloon waiting to burst

• An endlessly rising national debt being "resolved" by printing money of virtually counterfeit value

• A government that has been for several years virtually dysfunctional who has lost all sense of direction or obligation to represent it's people.

Distraction

And yet with all this and much more hanging over this countries head and its citizens most of us seem strangely disconnected from the reality of it all. Probably like no time in the history of man, we are being bombarded by by the great god, "Entertainment." Whether it is news, or video/graphic fiction, that "god" like an electronic drug is designed to keep us from any rational thinking about these things for any meaningful length of time. It is designed (deliberately) to distract us from what is really going on around us and especially to distract us from seeing the truth and being driven into prayer to the one and only true God and Father of Jesus who alone is able to save us and this nation.

Deception

• If you take a frog and drop him into a boiling pot of water, he will instantly and instinctively try to jump out.
• If you take a frog and drop him into a pot of cool water, he will probably stay right there. If you very slowly heat the pot of water up one degree a minute at a time, the frog will never notice the difference. He will just sit there until the water boils him to death... 

That is what is happening in this country to it's citizens. Even though in many ways the heat is being turned up we will just sit there because we are being made comfortable even with the things we would normally be very uncomfortable about. It's happening in the general population and it's happening in the "churches" and it's happening to each one of us in some way or another.

So now that you've taken the time to read this I guess you can go back to your facebook or TV or latest political discussion...

OR... You can spend some time and consider the fact that if we don't jump out of this pot of water into the waiting hands of the very loving, powerful God and Father of the Lord Jesus the Messiah and savior of the world that we are all going to boil to death - very slowly and painfully.

"We do not fight against flesh and blood but against powers 

and principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places."

The problem is a spiritual one. We need a Spiritual answer...
Fighting in the flesh or with political power is only adding to the distraction...

The Trumpet

25 years ago, I was blown out of a sound sleep by the sound of a deep LOUD blast of a trumpet the likes of which I have never heard again until recently. We lived out in the middle of nowhere. I got out of bed shaking and went into our "sitting room" to pray, very aware that it was a warning of things to come. I heard the words of what was to come. "America is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." Shortly after that the Lord miraculously moved us from our tent in Hawaii to Oregon. My flesh said that was the last place in the world I would want to be considering that warning but inside me there was this burden from the Lord, "That is where the need is. That is where we should be..."

Things have changed a lot since then. We are like the proverbial frog that gets boiled to death one degree and a time so slow that he doesn't even try to get out and save himself. It goes from cold that is he is used to warm and somewhat comforting. He gets lazy. It starts to feel good. Until it is too late to escape. His muscles are so relaxed he doesn't even realize that he can no longer move them. His brain is foggy. This can't be happening he is thinking or doesn't even notice that the temperature is now raising very quickly. All he can do now is sit there and get boiled. It's too late? Is it?

There used to be so many nations that used to stand back and admire the USA. It was what they wanted to become. If that wasn't the case it was the nation that they most feared. It was called the greatest nation in the world. The land of the free and the home of the brave. Then the cold war was over. The USSR was dissolved and became a friendly nation. China became one of the USA's greatest trading partners. It was a time of prosperity for the people. There were so many opportunities. Even though there were two parties they seemed to get along ok. The presidency was a respected position both inside and outside of the country. When he spoke the whole world listened.

Without belaboring what brought that about, look at where the USA is today. A divided government that is almost useless. An economy that without constantly pumping it up artificially is like a balloon that is waiting  crash in one day. Well over half the population is trying just to survive month to month. Two wars that in the final analysis ultimately have been lost. Invading a sovereign country under false pretenses and ruining it's population's lives. A war on terror that has multiplied it enemies. Covert activities encouraging "democracies" that has made some parts of the world a mess. Friends cannot trust it. Enemies ignore it. The president speaks and the world now sees mere hollow words. The nations that used to admire it now stand back and scratch their heads wondering what happened to such a great nation in such a short time.

What's even more perplexing, maybe even revealing is to observe that "God" is more and more not welcome any more. It is becoming more and more popular to mock Him, to deny that He even exists and to treat those that follow His Son Jesus like they have some strange disease that needs to be eliminated. The nation that once used to be the missions capital of the world has now become a mission field in all reality.

Friends the water around the edge of the pot is starting to bubble. How do you like it so far?

Judgement and 9/11

Hmm A lot of questions... Having questions can be a wonderful thing if it causes the person with the question to search for the real answer. I have noticed a lot of people in this day we are presently living in that pose questions however, with no intent or perhaps even any desire to find the answer. It's a strange ill affected day we live in when posing questions serves to insulate us from the answer.

I'm not Radio Shack who's slogan used to be "You have questions. We have answers..." But I do have a small measure of "technical" expertise from years of experience mostly learned the hard way and by sheer unmerited favor. Unmerited favor? Yes, I totally blew any chances at any formal "higher" education during my days of drug use, "free loving" and outright rebellion.

I wasn't rebelling for the sake of a cause. I was merely using the "cause" for an excuse to express my own rebellion and the rebellion of the spirit* influencing me at the time. We would do well in the day we are living in to pay attention to that statement and consider what is actually motivating us in all we do.

Of course I didn't know that then because rebellion comes with it's own blindness. It's a package deal. The real problem I found out the hard way was that rebellion is a spirit thus having spiritual influence and able to spread that influence from person to person, social group to social group, even nation to nation. I was "led" into drugs (and a lot of other things) by others but it was the rebellion in me that embraced them (and those things) as a "good" thing. Rebellion attracts rebellion. Just like those that want to know the truth are drawn to each other.

That being said, I will try my best to express answers to some questions particularly regarding 9-11 and the "God's 'Judgement' of America." To understand that we need to know some things first:

The Almighty God vs other "gods"
(Beware the blame game...)

The Almighty God (Yahweh to the Hebrews) created the universe, created man with the intent of expressing His love - as a companion. He has been involved with man throughout the total history of mankind. Even though man fell from his relationship with God, He intervenes in the affairs of mankind and each of us constantly. Unfortunately because of man's blindness and rebellion, we are not able to clearly see that intervention. With God are also an enumerable number of spiritual beings that He created to serve Him. He is without a doubt the most powerful being in the universe.

Throughout most of man's history there have always been many "gods" besides The Almighty God. Most of them figments of imagination sometimes represented by carved images. None of them have any power at all.

Satan was once a prince in the Kingdom of God. He fell under his own delusions and attempted to overthrow The Almighty God. His deception and rebellion was so thorough and powerful that he managed to convince 1/3 of the ministering spirits in Heaven to rebel against God. He lost his position in Heaven and together with those spirits that followed him in his rebellion against God, were cast down to the earth. Contrary to common misconceptions and representations of him, he does not have horns (and angels do not have wings). The scripture says he comes to deceive, presenting himself and an "angel of light." Now take notice that he is also called "the god of this world, the father of all lies, the evil one."
*He and his spirits are spirits of deception and rebellion and they affect mankind to even further evil and rebellion against God.

Judgement:

"Judgement" is not just a club slamming into someone's head (or a nation's head). It is, first and foremost, "the revealing of the truth" as only God can see it. It is actually going on long before we ever "see" it come to pass.

All of the human race is already under the "Judgement of God." That didn't happen last week, last month, last year or even a few centuries ago. It happened early on in the beginnings of the human race when the earliest man made a pretty bad choice that was contrary to God's command. The results of that choice carries on endlessly down through time and all the generations of man. We are born under the judgement of God. We all have the ability to do good and to do evil. Apart from God, none of us has the ability to fully restrain the evil in us. God was only looking after man's best interests when He told man not to ingest the fruit of knowing both good and evil. He didn't say, "If you eat of this I will -kill- you." He said, "if you eat of this the result will be death and separation from Him."

We are all born of and into sin. And we all add to that condition of mankind by the actions we take in our lives. We all "pass on" the results of those actions to future generations. It's a little bit like an expanding nuclear chain reaction that only stops only when it has run it's course. Man was never created to be separated from God or to die. We are all born separated from God and from the moment of our 1st breath, we are heading towards our death. God doesn't have to "do anything" at all for that "judgement" to be accomplished. This condition of man was not a choice on God's part but a choice (and our own subsequent personal choices) on man's part.

Mercy

God loves His creation and man. He very often intervenes in the affairs of man and nations restraining that (evil) which would happen without His intervention. If God were to remove His mercy and restraint of evil influences from the earth, we would find out in short order just how "good" we are NOT...

God's greatest act of mercy and unearned favor was to allow His only begotten Son Jesus to be crucified as a substitution for the sin and evil of mankind. That door of mercy is open to "whoever shall come let them come." When our eyes are opened to the truth that our hopeless (and horrible) end in eternal death is the result of our sin (and the sins of all mankind) and we come to God for mercy in the name of Jesus, "God is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us of all sin." We are yanked out of the cycle of sin and death that is terminal in humanity and given a new life, we are made into a new person. An eternal person.

So what about 9/11 and "The Judgement of God on America"?

Long before the twin World Trade Center towers came down on 9/11/2001, they were considered an impressive world renowned symbol of the financial power of the USA in the world. God allows things on earth some times to reflect what He is saying. Man chose to admire those twin towers as representative of financial power. God says doing so made them an idol and financial power is and always has been to God a false god. (Mammon) Of all the false "gods" that have been on the earth, Mammon has been worshiped in essence by more nations and people than any other "god." To some degree or another, we have all served that false "god" at some time in our lives. Jesus said something of note about Mammon, "You cannot serve God and Mammon. You cannot serve two masters. You will either love the one and hate the other or... (visa versa)" That is true of us as individuals and that is true of nations.

Those twin towers were a symbol of something that is anything but admirable to God. I would go so far as to say they were a very dishonorable thing. A symbol of evil. There is a scripture that says, "That which is highly esteemed in the sight of man is an abomination to God."
