Universal Providence
There are
those who feel some disappointment when they come to the website and nothing
has been posted for a time. I understand that. But I would ask the reader to
hear this. You see, I am not competing with anyone. Popularity is not what I
seek.
It is more
important that what I write is what would be beneficial to others, and what
will glorify God. It has to be led of the Lord; it has to be His counsel and wisdom,
not mine. That takes time with Him, despite today’s fast-paced
world. HE wants what is best for you - truth must prevail; no false hope, no fancy talk - just reality of Jesus, and God's will
Even as I
write now, tears are drying upon my cheeks. Why?
Prayer…I have been in much prayer
over certain people and certain things, but also there was time spent with
concerns for people, God’s people, the sheep (mature in Christ), the lambs (new
believers), as well as the wayward, the prodigals (those who strayed), the lost - unsaved, or the deceived, who are following other
gods, or even another Jesus than the one the Bible reveals.
Prayers, not
just for those who are close to me and those I know, but also people I don’t
know, who take time to write me. I also pray for those who visit the blog and
for those who are suffering in all nations around the world. There were also
prayers regarding false prophets and false teachers.
We are exhorted to pray in season and out of season, to be instant in prayer. I used to keep prayer lists, writing all requests down - I failed at it. I could not keep up because I would write down requests, thinking when I had enough I would pray, but that was no good. All prayer has to come from the heart, not some script. It takes time.
I do "arrow prayers" (an expression I came up with in the 90s (yes, before I was converted). I called them arrow prayers because I usually had a bunch of them (a quiver full - list full). They (prayers) were quick, was 'straight' shooting that went 'straight' to God, and were to the 'POINT'. Yes, I have always had quirky, corny humour - a gift lol
Now, I have learned to pray immediately - the 'lists' became overwhelming and many times I would "forget" someone, or many. I was not committed to the Lord, but best to say one will not pray and then do it, rather than say one 'will' pray, and then 'forget' (not do it).
I still do arrow prayers when I see emergency vehicles go by, or I get a sense or fear of something, 'on the go' type that we all do sometimes, but for the most part, I dedicate time to prayer. The Holy Spirit got a hold of me - to God's glory alone.
There are people who know
the Word of God, yet they are deceived and deceive others – and the lambs (new believers, or those not taking things to God (being too trusting)) will be devoured by these
wolves in sheep’s clothing (either wolves, or false teachers - those who are deceived themselves). There are sheep that will follow after them, having
their eyes blinded and ears deafened. They are as the blind following after the
blind and they shall fall together into the ditch (or over a precipice).
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: [Jn 10:27]
And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. [Jn 10:4, 5]
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: [Jn 10:27]
And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. [Jn 10:4, 5]
I had
checked to see how many countries there are in the world and found the top
answer to be 195 and 196 – the apparent reason being that Taiwan (a province which broke away from People’s
Republic of China) is only considered an officially independent nation by
some countries. That is why the discrepancy in numbers.
So, if
there are 196 countries in the world, with a population of 7.4 billion as we
enter into 2016 AD, God is watching over all of them and knows all that is going
on over all the earth. As a Spirit-filled believer, my heart goes out to all
nations of the world, and the brethren within the nations are of a deep concern
also.
When I
first began this blog back in 2008 (I’ve
removed many articles – 5 years worth, from 2008 – 2012 inclusive to move to
another site, which I may not be able to do), I naively thought only the
Westerners might come to the blog.
Despite the
fact that this is the internet, that was what I thought, but I was wrong
because the stats clearly show me otherwise. When I realized that error, a
deeper concern came upon me.
“Father, how do I reach the hearts
of people who come from different cultures, different traditions, different
languages, who do not think like Westerners think? What of nations who have
hardships of war, genocide, cataclysmic events and many other things in their
lives that we do not live with day to day?
What of those who are in danger
of imprisonment, displacement,
beheadings,
crucifixions, assassinations, cruel and harsh
punishments by law, executions, (drug
offenders-Australians,
Nigerians, Brazilian and Indonesian),
under heavy rule?” “What of those who live every day wondering if a bomb, or a mine, or terrorists,
or a drone
strike might happen upon them at any given moment?”
“How do I reach those who worship a
false god, a god that is real to them, even if that god does not answer their
prayers? How to I show them the truth and the way back to You, the true and
only God? How did the world fall so far away from You, fall so far from Your glory?” –the list is long and exhaustive.
While it is
true that Westerners do not wake up each day under the hardships of war (bombs,
missiles, drones etc) at this time, as in many countries in the Eastern part of
the world do today, millions of westerners have known war or been enlisted and
fought in wars. The Americas (North and South (Greenland,
Caribbean Islands/West Indies), and Central) have all had internal conflicts
(civil
and political)
and wars, assassinations, bombings and acts of terrorism, and the possible
threat of drone strikes on American soil.

The lists on
this could also be endless, even going back to the time of the beginning. God’s
people are scattered throughout the nations of the world. The Lord desires that
ALL should come to repentance.
Yes, repentance to God and to be saved through faith, believing in Jesus Christ (Yeshua) and all He accomplished
by being crucified upon the cross (death,
burial, resurrection). There is a
choice to be made - eternal life with God/Jesus, or the
second death in the lake of fire (which had been reserved
for Satan and the fallen angels)? There will be no SIN in heaven or on the new earth.
We know
that not all will be saved, but as believers, our hearts should be to reach out
to others, praying to be labourers in the harvest of souls. Satan is an enemy
of every man, woman and child upon the face of this earth. That is why I weep
when I pray:
Heart of the Father – A Sincere
Prayer
“Lord, You are Creator of all and
Your love for Your creation is great; even greater is Your love for the people
of the world. Your heart is that all should repent, forsaking sin and return to
You through Your Son, Jesus Christ.
But we have become corrupted, evil
in our ways. Our thinking and attitudes, our behaviour and actions are far from
Your ways. Many have their conscience seared; numerous are falling into
apostasy and heresy.
Love is waxing cold, hearts are
becoming hard and necks are becoming stiffened. Many, even Christians, are
turning a blind eye to so much and countless others (fed up with the hypocrisy
being found even in Christian circles) stop their ears from hearing of a loving
God, or the way of salvation You provided through Christ.
Every religion, including
Christianity, has been infiltrated by the enemy. Witchcraft abounds, as do the
false gods, false Christs and the false prophets (who teach the traditions of men and
doctrines of demons), just as it is
written in Your Word (Bible).
Forgive us, Lord. Forgive me, for
any way that we (I) may have fallen for any of Satan’s lies or that of those,
his ‘ministers who appear as ministers
of righteousness’. Open our eyes to see and our ears of
understanding to hear. Break up any fallow (hard) ground in our hearts and
purge us, so we may be without spot or blemish. We do not want to be as a mule
or horse, having to be led by a bit.
Lord, I am no one of consequence; I
am but a mere woman. Let not my words on these pages be words that come from the
flesh, which will avail nothing. May
Your Holy Spirit guide me in choosing the words to speak forth, sharing the
message that You would have me share at this time in history.
I realize that You have many who are
voicing the true words from You Father and that I may well be just one of the
last runners in the relay race. Yet, I thank You Lord for revealing that there
are times that the last runners can be the deciding factor, can be the one
whose performance (fruit) determines if the race is won.
You alone are
glorified through Jesus (Yeshua) and may people
of all nations, if they come across
these pages, repent and choose to believe in Jesus Christ, if
there is need of repentance. May all nations, all peoples, all tribes and clans
around this world, upon this earth, have their eyes opened to see, their ears open
to hear and their hearts able to understand the lateness of the hour and their
need to be right with you in every way (myself included).
Purge, purify, edify, strengthen the
hearts and spirit of people who look to the Messiah; may they look to You alone
with thanksgiving, praise and honour that You so rightly deserve, for You are
our first love. I cannot save them Father, for I too need salvation. Others
cannot save them Lord, for all of mankind has need of the Saviour,
Jesus-Yeshua.
Father, people all over the world
are hurting, suffering, in need of Your return. Hear our cries for an end to
this madness and evil. Ah Lord, tear up and destroy every bitter root, burn up
the stubble of it by Your Holy Spirit, where not even the ashes of bitterness
remain. Fill hearts with Your love that we will turn and truly forgive those who first plowed the poisoned seeds of bitterness deep
within the soil of a crushed heart.
Show us and teach us how to forgive
the wickedness, cruelty and unrighteousness of the offender’s sins against us
that watered the seeds, causing a bitter root to grow. Help us Lord, so that we
do not repay evil for evil. May we understand that vengeance is Yours and You
will repay each man according to his works.
We must forgive so that we can be
forgiven of our own sins and wrongdoing to others. O God, it is Your will that
in all of our forgiving, we must forgive ourselves also, in order to go forward
with confidence in You, in new-found freedom, in peace and in strength.
This we must do, but Father, this is
the hardest part. Help us to overcome and do this, not by might, nor by power
but by Your Spirit, Lord. May Your love fill the void that hatred left behind
and may the peace that passes all understanding be our joy and our portion.
May the hopeless soul find hope; the
discouraged soul find courage; the lonely soul find fellowship with You; the
grieving soul find comfort and the weary soul find renewed strength, when time is spent with You.
May we rise up with one body, one mind,
one faith in Jesus. May we be united in love, not the false unity that the
world offers which is fleshly and temporary, but the unity that is eternal,
that knits us together in one Spirit (holy
Spirit), united in love for one another (Your
love in us).
Keep the flock together and if there
be one who has gone astray, we ask that You will leave the
ninety-nine righteous to find the one feeling forsaken and lost, as it is written. Jesus,
Yeshua, You are the one hope of our calling.
I give thanks for all these things
Lord. I also ask that in all that I say and do, and in all who call themselves by Your name be said and done in truth and
truth alone. We do not desire to dishonor You in any way.
Put a wall of fire, a shield, a
hedge of protection around Your people Lord, so that we will not be deceived. Lord,
You said that if we ask for bread, You will not give us a stone, or if we ask
for fish, You will not give us a serpent. So with boldness Lord, we ask that we
not be deceived nor led astray.
Remind us often to keep on the
armour of light (God’s armour); to pray always, to stay close to You, abiding, so
that we come to know and hear only Your voice and follow only after our Good
Shepherd, Jesus.
Keep us as one Body in Christ Jesus
(His flock), so that You Father, the one True, Faithful and Living God are
glorified. You are the Creator of the heavens and all that is therein, including
the heavenly hosts, all the earth and all that is in therein, You alone deserve
glory.
Send forth the labourers into bring
in the harvest, to reap of all nations of the earth, for Your love abounds over
all the earth. Draw people to Yourself with Your goodness, for it is Your
goodness that draws people to repentance.
Remove the scales from eyes, unplug
the ears, break up the fallow ground of hardened hearts. Send forth the former
and latter rains to fall where drought has left parched and thirsty lands, and
dry up the lands where putrid waters have overwhelmed the people.
Reveal the enemy and his armies;
reveal his plot and hatred against mankind. Fulfill Your Word - hasten Your
return. Maranatha, maranatha – we desperately need Your return and
intervention. Hear the cries of the people of all nations who ask, ‘Where are
You, God? Do You not care?’ We need You, Lord!
Keep those who trust, obey and hold
fast to You Jesus, from deception. In Your name Lord, I pray. Be pleased Father in the good work that You
alone have done. Amen and amen
The Real Warfare
Satan has
his armies, both in the spiritual realm and the physical realm. This is
obvious, not only in a time such as this, as we see it this day in places all
over the earth, but since the beginning, it has been so. There has always been
such violence upon the earth. It seems that the wicked rule, but it is not
forever. Their rule is temporary. Their days are numbered; they seal their own
destruction.
The first
time, water destroyed all the wicked upon the earth (the Great Flood in Noah’s
day, where only eight souls were saved alive [1Pet 3:20]. The next time shall
be by fire, the earth will be shaken, and the heavens shall be greatly
disturbed, and the elements melt with fervent heat; the earth and all the works
therein burnt up. [2Pet 3:10-12]
We are
without doubt in the last of the last days. I know; I realize that every
generation has thought the return of the Lord was imminent. Error, division,
corruption and witchcraft have all entered into and thrive in the Christian
community and are rampant in many of today’s churches (not all; but a majority).
Yet, if the
last days began in the time of the apostles, then how much closer are we now? Even the false prophets have gotten wise and
say that no one knows the day or the hour. Satan indeed is the author of
confusion, the creator of deception.
But the study
of Biblical eschatology can help guide us and Jesus told us what signs to look
for. We cannot rush or force God’s hand
(as some have tried and are trying to do),
but neither should we ignore the signs that Jesus gave us. [Matthew 24]
In
Revelation 19 verse 10, the angel tells the apostle John that “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of
prophecy”. Even when the prophets of old spoke, moved by the (Holy) Spirit
of God, warning people of what was to come (God’s
judgment), the purpose was not only that people would understand the
justice and righteousness of the Creator, but that they would turn from sinful wickedness and repent, confessing their sins to a holy
and just God!
Today it is
the same, in that when people speak prophetic words of things to come, it is
not for the purpose of fear, nor is it fortune-telling for filthy lucre.
Rather, it is a fore-telling, a forewarning of God’s impending judgment
and coming danger. The purpose is the same. Turn (change of heart)
from unrighteousness, repent and be
saved through Jesus Christ (Saviour and Lord) and His righteousness.
Even the
false prophets have learned to use the word repent, but you must discern if the
Jesus they mention (if they do) is
the Jesus of the Bible. The cross is rarely mentioned and the blood of the Lamb
that was spilled for the redemption of sins of mankind is not highlighted. Obedience
may be mentioned, but be sure that the god they tell you to obey is the God of
the Bible.
Do they
tell you that Jesus is the ONLY way to the Father? What of the Blood of the Lamb, the blood
poured out willingly as a sacrificial offering for the forgiveness of sins? Do
they mention the cross and the blood of the Lamb? Do they exalt themselves,
their teaching or the Lord Jesus?
O beware,
beware! With the advent of the internet, the wolves have become as wise as the
foxes. Why, o why do you think Jesus warned that if it were possible, even
the elect would be deceived? Study the Word of God; let it be written upon your
hearts, but equally important, spend
time with the Lord in prayer.
Come to
know Him more and more. The true Jesus will never conflict with His written Word.
Keep on the full armour of God. Know the adversary Satan and his followers.
Hold fast to your faith in Jesus, no matter what comes against you.
Selah
The purpose
of prophecy is to warn the people of God’s judgment upon the lands of the
earth, to stir up the hearts to get right with God (repent) and to seek Jesus.
In times past, as I was learning, I used to think that prophetic words given to
me were for Canada or America. The Lord revealed to me that I must not be so
small-minded, for He is Sovereign over all the earth.
I thank Him
for His patience as we learn, but also for the love He has for the people of
all nations, and the desire that all will come to repentance through His Son,
Jesus the Messiah.
With that
in mind, I am led to repost a prophetic word that was written while I was still
in the United States. Instead of looking at it for just a word to the people of
the Western hemisphere, look at it as a prophetic word to the nations of the
world, as it was intended in the first place (but I had to learn).
The Lord
had given me a word, which was posted the day after Obama was reelected as
president of the United States. It is so much clearer now, but that is God and
none other. I repost it here for the discernment of the reader and to the glory
of God alone. I cannot, dare not and will not touch His glory!
-----------------------
November
7, 2012 - [11.7.12] - 5:06 amI awoke at 4:30. That which you will read below came to me over a course of four and a half hours. When I woke up, I saw that Obama had won and I heard:
Now It Begins
While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from you. (Ichabod!)
And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make you to eat grass as oxen, and seven times (7 years) shall pass over you, until you know that the most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever He will. [Dan 4:31, 32]
Then said Pilate unto Him, Speak You not
unto me? know You not that I have power to crucify You, and have power
to release You?
Jesus answered, You
could have no power at all against Me, except
it were given you from above: therefore he that delivers Me unto you
has the greater sin. [Jn 19:10, 11]A Great Divide
(Note* - I understood that plans made would never see fruition, not even be carried out, but another will eventually take his place of power.)
Backbone Broken – West in Great Pain
Yesterday morning, I awoke and heard, “The west shall be in great pain; they will be greatly hurt. The backbone of America is broken; it is severely fractured.” I asked a friend what the ‘backbone of America’ was, since I am not American.
I personally wondered if it meant a physical division upon the land, due to some cataclysmic event, but I also wondered if it meant a divide amongst the people. My American friend was not sure what the 'backbone' of the country is, but wondered if it meant economically or geographically.
Economically is already well understood (eventual collapse of dollar coming globally)…geographically, the best that could be understood either pertained to the Continental Divide, which involves the watersheds of Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, or whether the divide (backbone) is the New Madrid, which would split the country basically in half.
One other thought that I have had since is that the backbone of America is its Union, the uniting of all the states, for the country to become the ‘United States’. If the Union is the backbone and it is broken, fractured, that would mean that the Union (or UNITY) is broken, which would once again mean civil war.
I do believe civil war is coming. I do believe people are going to be divided and I think the government suspects an insurrection also, which is why they have stocked up on hollow point bullets, along with a vast supply of arsenal and weaponry.
Walk in Confidence
My people have been pressing in and abiding. I have heard your prayers. Do not walk in fear, walk in confidence knowing that I AM God. I am the Creator of all the earth. Despite the doubts of many, My Sovereignty (power, authority) rules over all the earth.
Now come the days of great woes, great sorrow, yet also come the great blessings that many have patiently waited for. O America, America…O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, o nations of the world…I would have gathered you under My wing, but you would not, you would not, you would not.
My people, do not join ranks with those who entertain violence and rebellion. Many will take up weapons and seek to take down that which displeases them.
My people will not pick up the sword, for they know that they do not "war against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." [Eph 6:12]
Cling to Me and I shall direct your steps. No matter what you see, hear or read, do not be soon shaken. Trust in Me.
Voices mumble in secret; plots are unfolding, as men seek to take down an empire to establish their own order of things. Many seek to uproot the kingdom, take down the king(s) and destroy his (their) work, believing that their rule will be better.
There shall indeed be an uprising and a taking down, yet what is expected will not be what they intended, for they have forgotten who I AM.
They have set up kings (leaders), but not of Me: they have made princes and I knew it not (did not choose them): of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. [Hos 8:4]
Hear, o ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel. [Jdg 5:3]
They meet secretly, devising their plans. I allow what I allow, for that which was written shall come to pass. I shall not strive with man forever.
So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. [Is 55:11]
O America, O Jerusalem (O Nations of the World)
Plots are against Israel, yet the hatred for America has escalated and is measured in great proportion. A plot is against every nation of the world. The wicked rule by the sword; they rule by that which pierces the flesh and destroys. The wicked are pleased with their weaponry. With one voice and one arm, their pride strengthens them to conquer and to take into captivity.
If a nation shall not repent of its evil ways, I shall allow evil armies to overtake. Great destruction comes as the heavens and the earth obey My commands. My wrath is stirred up, yea, the devil has come down, who has wrath of his own, for he knows his time is short.
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath because he knows that he has but a short time. [Rev 12:12]
(We are not to confuse God’s wrath [Is 16:6; Jer 10:10]. Satan's wrath is upon all nations and the world also. He seeks to destroy the earth and mankind. Many confuse Satan's wrath with God's, but it is all part of a greater plan.)
Be still and know that I AM God. I have shown grace and mercy to those who have repented. Trust and hold fast to your faith. Be quick to listen and obey My commandments; forsake them not, so that all will go well with you.
Since the days of our fathers have we been
in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings,
and our priests, been delivered into
the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity,
and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
And now for a little space grace has been
shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a
nail in His holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a
little reviving in our bondage.
For we were bondmen; yet our God has not forsaken us in our bondage,
but has extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to
give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the
desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. [Ezra 9:7-9]
Thus says the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is His name; Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not. [Jer 33:2, 3]
(This is an added note, but unless I put it here, some may misunderstand. Everything each of us does individually must be led of the Lord. If the Lord directs a person to go to war for their country (as He instructed men of old), do so...no matter what anyone says. Obey the Lord...not man.
I sensed strongly that when the Lord spoke of not picking up the sword, it was two-fold. There are those who have a personal vendetta to take revenge (such as on abortionists, assassination of political leaders etc). Or those who take revenge against cults, false teachers etc, or against someone who has personally done them wrong. That was what I understood about the "sword". -BP)
The War Room
And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel. [Josh 11:5]
Those who have ears to hear, hear what the Spirit is saying. Fear not those who burn incense to Baal, to the sun and to the moon, and to the planets and to all the hosts of heaven, for I shall put down the idolatrous ones in My timing.
There is a season when it seems evil
triumphs, but hold fast, for I AM that I AM. All has been
foreordained. My plans shall be carried out, for judgment is upon the earth and all nations.
Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes [Iran], the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion. [Jer 51:28]
Make bright the arrows; gather the
shields: the LORD has raised up the spirit
of the kings of the Medes (Iran): for
his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of
the LORD, the vengeance of His temple.
Set
up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong,
set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the
LORD has both devised and done that which He spoke against the
inhabitants of Babylon.
Because the LORD has spoiled Babylon, and
destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men
are taken, every one of their bows
is broken: for the LORD God of recompenses shall surely requite (reward, avenge).
And I will make drunk her princes, and her
wise men, her captains, and her
rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not
wake, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts. Thus says the LORD of hosts;
The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and
the folk in the fire, and they shall be
weary. [Jer 51:55-58]
We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and
let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reaches unto heaven,
and is lifted up even to the skies. Destruction and judgment comes
upon the whole earth. For I shall create a new heaven and a new earth,
and My people shall dwell in the new Jerusalem.
Greater Works
There are those of My people who shall shine forth, for now also approaches the time of the greater works, the blessings and miracles. They shall run parallel, for great destruction and great miracles abound, as the clash of the kingdoms occurs.
You, who have been downtrodden, weary and in despair, sitting in the dust as did Israel, arise with new hope.
Arise, shine; for your light is come, and
the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For, behold, the darkness shall
cover the earth, and gross darkness
the people: but the LORD shall
arise upon thee, and His glory
shall be seen upon you. [Is 60:1, 2] Selah

glory

Note* - One month and five days after the Lord spoke this:
- the Sandy
Hook shooting on December 12, 2012 occurred
- the Boston
Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013
- absorbing al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups, it is announced that a new group is established, which will be known as ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant(Syria)) April
2013
ONLY GOD knows these things; only God knows the end from the beginning.
Nevertheless, I believe the works are greater that Jesus spoke about because we can reach more people at one time; radio, TV, internet, social media platforms, plus we have the ability to travel to around fast and to remote (hard to reach) areas.
Compared to 2,000 years ago, these would be greater works.That is my thought on it because NO ONE can do greater things than the Son of God, who is God incarnate! Bless the Lord! (end note) BP)
(NOTE (yes, another 'new' one): I have added the following to the origin post because it has come to my attention that false teachers are twisting things. I would like to state my view. BP)
Too many are coming out with teachings that use words like the "chosen", the "remnant" And yes, the Lord uses these words too. Yet, some who use these words act like the 'chosen' or 'remnant' are an exclusive club where only certain ones are 'good enough' to be part of.

That is how it comes across - a 'holier-than-thou' club, and the bar to enter is extremely high to reach. That is not the way. The 'chosen' were the lineage of Abraham, it was the 'chosen' bloodline of the Messiah. The Israelites were chosen, like it or leave it, it will not change it. They are still the chosen: the church has NOT replaced them. We Gentiles are 'grafted in' - a privilege.
As for the 'remnant' (and Lord help me if I am wrong), is what is left from a larger product or goods; OR a small, surviving group - according to: Merriam-Webster
Dictionary
In Christianity, there are those who have or will fall away. It is written in the Holy Scriptures that many will fall away in the last days (these are those days). We see 2 Timothy3:1-7 happening now. There are also those who will take the mark of the beast, and yes, I believe we will know. There will be no guessing. God is fair and just.
The remnant are going to be those who endure to the end, through tribulation, without taking the mark or denying Christ Jesus. No Christian will be here for God's wrath.
I do believe in the rapture (in the twinkling of the eye, we will be changed - 1Cor 15:32]), but I am unsure of the timing. I lean towards believing it is post-trib, pre-wrath (God's). I would rather be prepared than unprepared. Oh, to be wrong; it would be a time to rejoice!
It is said that we do not really know what we are made of until we are in an extreme crisis. We need the Holy Spirit to help us make it through the tough situation coming. The remnant (some being beheaded as the book of Revelation states [Rev 6:9-11]) will live with Jesus (Yeshua) forever. How I long for that day! How I pray God helps all [self included], to be strong enough to endure. (End note - BP)
Satan is the author of confusion. There are false teachers who are saying that the chosen or remnant are going to be transformed into glorified 'super-humans' (that's not how they word it, but I am leading up to this with some noted false prophecies).
(Note added: (I should grab a pad of 'sticky notes' -- February 2016 - how we need each other, brethren. A sister in Christ (thank you Donna L.) stretched my small view. She mentioned the weapons in this day and age, and how God could protect people from its harms and effects.
The Lord may well have certain ones of His people be vessels for His power and glory to work through to heal people of injuries, diseases etc brought about by radiation, fall-out and more. Diseases and conditions that did not exist in the day of Jesus (Yeshua) will be healed. That is a interesting perspective that would expand the meaning of 'greater works'.
Yet, no "person" heals, delivers or restores. We are but clay; flesh and blood. It is God's Spirit (His power) that does these things. Without Jesus, without God Almighty, we can do nothing, none of these things unless through witchcraft, and even then if God allows [such as Pharaoh's court magicians and soothsayers, or as the woman with a spirit of divination, as one that followed Paul].
So much is coming...such horrific and incredulous things, just as foretold in the Holy Scriptures. Yet, I have every confidence that there are also astronomical, never before seen miracles, signs and wonders coming also.
We MUST abide in Christ with faith and belief, with trust and in obedience. That is the remnant. The remnant are those who so this (faith, trust, obedience) and they are found in every nation; God's people are scattered around the world. Denomination, race or gender have nothing to do with it. We are God's people and we are members of the Body of Christ Jesus (Yeshua).
God's children will not suffer God's wrath; perhaps the devil's wrath (as written in Rev 12:12], which explains the tragedies, disasters and calamities, corruption, perversions and rampant sins, but not God's wrath. Just more thoughts...) [End note BP]
Nothing too Hard for God
This year 2016
shall bring many more deaths, not only in wars with ISIS (Daesh), but also in internal conflicts amongst the
people and government agencies (even with those who are supposed to protect the
people).
Death also shall be in cataclysmic events, ‘resurrected’ diseases and violence (protests and riots in various nations) among people (for political, ‘religious’ and personal
reasons) that could have been avoided. It is driven by demonic
forces in the workers of iniquity (wickedness, deviation from the right path, pain-ridden evil), [sinful humans worshipping Satan, false gods that people call by different names]. This pertains to all nations, all peoples,
tribes and clans.
I
understood this to mean “spiritual” death in great numbers also. It really has to do with walking away, apostasy, falling away from the faith. (I really must expound more on this later; as it is one reason false prophecies that stem from false teachings are [both] dangerous.).
On the
other hand, the patiently obedient are going to see long-awaited prayers and
personal promises manifested too (globally
– timing is His). The Lord is not speaking of a global revival that we keep
hearing about (Jesus spoke of a “falling
away” in the last days), but is speaking of the prayers of multitudes of
His people, who are scattered throughout
the nations around the world, being answered, with numerous seeing
miraculous answers to fervent prayers and long-awaited promises.
There will be
those that God brings a miracle too, unexpectedly, even to those who may not
believe, but will be drawn to repentance by God’s goodness.
The Lord
reminded me of two things. First, He reminded me of the scripture: For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and
if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel
of God? [1Pet 4:17]
Pruning and purging have been going on for some time now in all
of God’s people, as well as the many and various hard trials of our faith.
Those who strive to obey the gospel have been (or are being) made aware of any unrighteous
thought, word or deed in their lives. When exposed by the Holy Spirit,
repentance is to be the result and overcoming follows suit.
These beams have to first be removed from our own eyes, before we can
ever hope to help another with a splinter in their eye. First we must rid ourselves of unrighteousness,
in order to help or speak to others shackled in bondages. Jesus is the only one
who can not only break the chains, but remove the shackles and do away with the
strongman guarding over the prisoners in bondage.
Faith and obedience to Jesus will produce good works, the fruit of faith. It goes hand in hand.
Many who have worked with the Holy Spirit in overcoming are about to see the ‘impossible’ become a reality.
It shall not be to glorify flesh or to satisfy any lustful desires,
but ‘impossibilities that God has promised. The power of God will be manifested,
who alone will be glorified. Again, this is globally. Yet remember, God’s power is revealed in His
judgments as well.
Ah Lord GOD! behold, You have made the heaven and the earth by thy
great power and stretched out arm, and
there is nothing too hard for
thee: You show lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompense the iniquity of
the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty
God, the LORD of hosts, is his
name,
Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for Your eyes are open upon all
the ways of the sons of men: to give everyone according to his ways, and
according to the fruit of his doings: Which has set signs and wonders in the
land of Egypt, even unto this
day, and in Israel, and among other
men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day; [Jer
32:17-20]
Secondly, the Lord gives a reminder and warns us
again against false signs and wonders from those who are not His (false prophets, false Christs). As
surely as He had me write about the clash of the kingdoms a few years ago, He
reminds us that this ongoing battle has intensified spiritually, as well as in
the physical realm. Satan is the one who keeps clashing against God's kingdom. God does not budge, but Satan is the one who rebelled in the first place.
We are to abide in Him, holding fast to our faith
and seeking His wisdom in all things. We need wisdom, understanding and
increased discernment and we need to apply it in all areas (myself included).
These things can only be found in Christ Jesus. We must know the Word of God; keep
in prayer.
Gold dust, jewels, oil that keeps filling up vials - all of this are 'signs' that have suddenly increased, and are being reported by numerous churches or in meetings and conference. God does not tempt us with material things such as gold and jewels.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. [Mat 24:4, 5] For there
shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive
the very elect. [Mat 24:24]
The only way it will not be possible is as written
above. Hold fast to faith and obey God through Jesus. With God’s help, be
cleansed of all that is not of Him. The Two Christs is a writing that
came from a dream that I had in late 2006, when I had only been fully committed
to the Lord about a year and a half.
I had already been delivered of ‘legion’ and was
by that time also delivered from eleven years of doctor-prescribed medications.
The dream was first posted in the year 2008. It served as a warning then, as
surely as it does to this day. It is but a taste of the goodness, grace and
mercies of God to warn His people.
The deception that is being presented is not only
around the world, but also in Christianity. It is so cleverly disguised,
wrapped up perfectly using the words that are commonly heard in Christianity.
Just as Satan deceived in the Garden, taking God’s words and twisting them, in
order to bring confusion which planted seeds of doubt tainted with his lies, he
is doing the same today.
False teachings are filled with the
right-sounding words and even scriptures (often plenty), bringing confusion. A
person may not even know they are confused, but instead, they are astounded at
the wonder of God.
Satan has been described as clever, cunning and
crafty, which should warn us of his ability to deceive the masses. We are upon
the earth but a moment in time when placed on the grand scale of time. Satan
has been around since the beginning.
Do we really consider ourselves so wise that we
can escape his deceptions unscathed? The truth is that without God’s guidance
and wisdom, we can all be fooled and caught in any one of the devil's countless
snares. I do not know about you, but I
have been deceived before myself, and it is a horror and an incredibly
unsettling feeling once the evil in that deception is exposed.
We tend to think that such things will never
happen to us. We know too much; we have seen many things, so we say. Beware of
high thinking! Jesus warned us more than once in His words that if it were
possible, even the elect would be deceived.
We cannot be presumptuous. We cannot presume to
think that we can avoid all deception, without bringing all things to Jesus. Remember, Satan convinced one-third of the angels, who knew God, to follow
after him. Selah
All of us need to be constantly reminded of this,
for it is too easy for us to go our fine way and ‘forget’ to involve God in every “little” decision that we make. He gave us free will after all, we
protest. If it is on my heart, it must be from Him (so we think).
The flesh is at enmity against God. [Rom 8:7] Beware, beware. We can
deceive ourselves, due to our ambitions, passions and desires, or we can wait
patiently to see how the Lord would direct us.
He alone knows the end result from the beginning.
I have been guilty of this myself – making a decision on something without
seeking the counsel of God. It behooves us to press into Him like never before
and receive His wise counsel on all matters.
Falling into Satan’s traps of deception can be as
dangerous as falling into quicksand. If perchance we should be miraculously
pulled out when our head is nearly submerged fully, there will be damage and
pain to deal with afterwards. Mark my words! We need Christ Jesus in this
chaotic, volatile and corrupt world, where betrayals, lies, witchcraft,
deception and all manner of evil thrive.
Just as Jesus/Yeshua forewarned – it is getting
worse. We need to hear the Good Shepherd
say, “This is the way; walk you in it.”
We have to stay close enough to the Shepherd to hear and see how He
wants us to go, so He can protect us.
The dangers are too many to try and go it alone,
or to follow after one who is blind. Christ Jesus will indeed protect us up
until the time appointed for us to leave this earth. It is appointed unto man
once to die and then, the judgment.
The
excellence in deception has been so perfected down through the millennia that
without God, we will be led along a path that leads to our destruction.

The
Two Christs - A Dream
Before me stood two Christs. They looked identical, moved identically and were dressed identically.
Before me stood two Christs. They looked identical, moved identically and were dressed identically.
One
would say, 'Through Me is the way unto
salvation.’
And the other would say, 'Thru me is
the way unto salvation.’
One
would say, 'I am Christ. I am the way,
the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but by Me.'
And the other would say, 'I am Christ.
I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but through me.'
In my dream, I seemed to be confused
when asking, 'Which of you do I believe?'
Like so many others, I do not want to be deceived, so I prayed. I heard the
Holy Spirit say, 'Mention the blood'...
So,
I looked at them both, not knowing which was which, and started to ask a
question about the Blood of Jesus. But I didn't know what to ask. If I didn't
ask the right thing, I would get the wrong answer or a deceiving answer, from
the one who was reflecting the true Christ Jesus.
I was struggling hard, because I knew that I had to know and I had to know right quickly! My thoughts were racing, what to ask, what to ask?!
I was struggling hard, because I knew that I had to know and I had to know right quickly! My thoughts were racing, what to ask, what to ask?!
Then I heard, 'Ask your question
THROUGH the Blood, and keep in mind that the Lord your God shall lead you in
all truth.'
I
pondered it for a moment. Then I said to the two Christs...
"Through the BLOOD of Jesus the
Christ, I ask, which SIDE of the FATHER do you sit at?"
Simultaneously, I heard one say, 'Right' and the other say, 'Left’. It was as though suddenly I could HEAR, and I
HEARD His VOICE, and the TRUE Christ was the one who said 'Right.'
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into
heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. [Mk 16:9]
Satan is the counterfeiter who
MIRRORS everything that he sees God doing. Therefore, it was Satan who appeared
as Christ, but who is fact Anti
(against) Christ. It is him that said 'Left'.
(Satan has no seat beside the Father.)
In his very best illusions, Lucifer/Satan can only imitate and appear as our Saviour, Jesus the Christ, but it is a mere REFLECTION (not the real), an illusion, a deception. He was not allowed to lie. His answer was filtered through the Blood of Christ Jesus. Therefore he had to say ‘left’, for he can only do what is allowed by God. He cannot escape the Sovereignty of God.

He cannot escape the Sovereignty of God.
I
gasped when I heard the answers and immediately ran to the One who sits at the
RIGHT hand of the Father. His (Jesus) arms were open and I ran into them.
He looked at me and without a word, He moved me behind Him, as though He were a
shield [as a man might do to protect a
woman; or as a parent might do to protect their child].
Christ Jesus turned towards the false
Christ, the Antichrist. Immediately, the appearances of BOTH changed.
One shone with blinding light.The
other one roared angrily with darkened countenance when revealed, changing
immediately into a fierce dragon. The evil and hatred in his eyes showed what
was in his corrupt and prideful heart. Immediately he disappeared.
