And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
Yea and amen, but this requires having clean heart (pure) and a right spirit, done only thru repentance through Jesus Christ (Y'shua Messiah) and HIS help. We need God's help...all of us. It is a critical time...look around you. Watch and pray! It's almost time for the second Exodus (globally) and going into the wilderness...I don't know the fullness of the 'second exodus' at this time.

We Overcome May 26, 2008 5:44 pm (revised 2009)
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony...
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death. [Rev 12:11]
Suddenlies
Things coming will be as unexpected and sudden as a lost wallet that disappears
immediately after a purchase. No amount of
searching will restore it, bring understanding or closure. Many people will blame themselves. Most will blame
others, but the multitudes will blame
God.
People will be suspicious of each other and accusations will arise beyond measure. Countless will feel helpless and without hope. Things will begin slowly and build momentum, like a domino effect.
Life will be frightening to
people and they will not know where to turn. Hard
lessons will be learned. Some will cry out to God and repent in spirit and in truth.
For there is now therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ and walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [Rom 8:1]
But they who have prepared ahead have already repented and keep a repentant spirit in their heart. They who put their trust in the Lord shall be saved. The peace that passes all understanding will sweep over them and they will offer up thanksgiving, despite all outward appearances.
They who keep a repentant heart and trust in the Lord will not fear nor be soon shaken. They will rise up in His power and might. In times of trouble, He draws them closer and delivers them.
For they have heeded the warnings and have received chastisement and correction, as obedient children of the most High Almighty God and One TRUE Holy Father.
For they prepared their hearts for the 'suddenlies'
and the unexpected.
For He, who loves His children will teach them, then test them. He will lead them and guide them. He will forewarn and protect them.
For He, who loves His children will teach them, then test them. He will lead them and guide them. He will forewarn and protect them.
Things that are coming will be positioned like dominoes, with intent, strategically placed, with precision. For He, who loves His children will teach them, then test them. Things coming will have the 'domino effect', but God prepares His people.
They will sing to their Savior through tears, in the day of their affliction, knowing that they are His. For who are they that are obedient? It is they who were willing to learn obedience through the things that they suffer, as did their holy Savior, Christ Jesus - He who learned obedience unto death.

It is they who were willing to learn obedience through the things that they suffer, as did their holy Savior, Christ Jesus - He who learned obedience unto death.
It is they who pick up their cross daily and willingly to crucify flesh. Though they stumble, they will rise again and again. [Prov 24:16] It is they who abide in Christ, knowing that it is not they who live, but Christ Jesus, [Y'shua] our Messiah, who lives in them.
They consider not their own lives, but lay it all down, believing that He who commanded them to crucify self, would also come with His resurrection power. (All this takes time to learn...)
Against hope, they believe in hope. They believe in the words of their Messiah, Y'shua / Jesus who said, With MAN it is impossible but with GOD, ALL things are possible.
Walk By Faith, Not by Sight
Yea indeed, to walk by
faith and NOT by sight, simple faith as a child. It is they who understand the
authority of His name, the power of His blood
and all that He did accomplish by being crucified, buried, resurrected and ascended by the power of His Father,
the Most High Almighty God.
Yes, the true sons of God [those hidden in Jesus the Christ] are manifesting, being united as one body [His body, His bride, the ekklesia (called out)] through the Holy Spirit of the Most High. [Rom 8:19]
(Note* - I believe the "true sons of God" are all those who are truly committed to Christ - not head knowledge, but heart service. BP2016)
Simultaneously, the
tares are gathering, united as one in the 'spirit of antichrist - [the false Christ], (anti is "against, instead of, opposed to'...Christ') because their 'father' (Satan aka
Lucifer, the dragon) counterfeits [mirrors] all that he sees the Almighty do, for he is the
father of lies, a murderer from the beginning
- the roaring lion who roams around seeking whom he may devour.
These are the days to prepare. No time to delay.
These are the days of testing and trying the heart to see if you love the Lord
your God, and to purge [purify] us of all
that is not of Him, to remove the dross in the refining; to remove every spot and every blemish, for He will have a holy
people. Do not fear the days ahead,
which you were forewarned would come suddenly and unexpectedly.
Trust Jesus/Y'shua, King of kings and Lord of lords. Keep watch for His return. Pray for others and all the Holy Spirit leads you to pray for.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. [Mat 7:13-14]
Narrow is the road and strait is the gate; and few there are that find it.
Narrow is the road and strait is the gate; and few there are that find it.
For
the narrow road is difficult with many trials and tribulations. Yet by not trusting and obeying the King and
Lord, the love of many has waxed cold and many will fall away. This is already
happening, it shall increase just as Jesus [Y'shua] foretold.
The love that waxes cold not
only leaves its first love [Christ Jesus], but it also lacks compassion and
love for fellow brethren and the unsaved. They have become desensitized as
daily reports of lawlessness and brutal travesties fill their ears, and as sin increases (lust of eyes, lust of flesh and pride of life).
Some walk with praise on their
lips, but their hearts far from God, whilst others are fooled by delusion for they did not seek truth (strong delusion comes [2Thes 2:9-12]), and
others still just simply abandon their faith. Dark, dark are these days, but
they are only a shadow of the greater
darkness that soon covers
this world. Sin overwhelms the world.
God’s (Yhvh) children walk by FAITH and not by sight. They have learned not to fear man (what he will do), but to only fear [revere, honor, respect, be in awe] their Father God, [fear/know]understanding His great power, authority, and might. Their HOPE is in the Word of God; they walk in the Spirit of LOVE - His Spirit, His love.
Yet, love is also justice and
judgment. Love judges righteous
judgment. We will love what
God loves and hate what God hates. Many
in the Body of Christ are deceived, believing what they want to believe,
without heart-searching repentance, praying, seeking, and waiting for the counsel of the Lord. (Pray for people's eyes to be open to see false teachers and the wolves in sheep's clothing, and ears opened to hear [discern] false doctrines and for the strength to depart from such.
Instead, many blindly follow
after lies that have been cleverly disguised and hold fast to secret, willful, or presumptuous sin(s). There is a mixture as clay
and iron. Satan began his deception in the Garden of Eden, but he did not
stop there. Flesh and Satan work hand in hand.
(The spirit wars against the flesh and flesh against the spirit [Gal 5:16-21])
Truth has been twisted and lies are brilliantly
presented. Satan is subtle, crafty, and clever.
Ah, may the LORD, ALMIGHTY GOD (Yhvh),
the Great Spirit Chief keep us ever so humble and help US to endure how and in all that is coming. May WE be considered worthy to escape these things, yet we must love not our lives unto death. This world is not our home. Father, help us all.
We must repent. Indeed, we must ever humble ourselves with repentant hearts, confessing our sins, then will He hear, forgive, and help us to endure now and in all that is coming.

If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts
to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If My people,
which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My
face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Now Mine eyes shall be open, and Mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. For now
have I chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there for ever:
and Mine eyes and Mine heart shall be there perpetually. [2Chron
7:13-16]
May WE be considered worthy to
escape these things (NOT as in pre-trib rapture but by Sovereign protection), yet we must love not our lives unto death. This world is not our
home.
It is a narrow path; a
narrow way. Few find it because few want to let go of all sin, all
unrighteousness that the Father reveals to us (a humbling, painful process). (He is still purging me, pruning...) Repent whilst we still can. There is a way and that (one and only) way is through Jesus
Christ (Y’shua Ha’Masiach) of Nazareth.
For the strait gate, where few willingly enter in, can only be entered in by through Jesus the Christ (Y'shua the Messiah), and by the OBEDIENCE of those who TRUST their GOD. Get ready. It time to prepare for the suddenlies and the unexpected that shall come soon enough (more than ever). Time is almost up. Abide in Christ and He in you.

(Lord, please show me all the areas where I fall short and things that are not right in me. Forgive me Lord... I don't want to backslide or be 'holier-than-thou' and meanwhile, far from you. Correct me, Father.)
Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence O Lord. Take not Your Holy Spirit from me; restore unto me the joy of my salvation. [Ps 51:10-19]
Help me Holy Spirit to be better at praying.
For HIS glory†

(NOTE* This part is not in the original - it has been added in further reposts:
I have matured and grown in faith since this was first written in 2008. I have learned that the Lord is faithful to correct and discipline His children. It is up to us individually to receive (willingly, gladly) any discipline and correction that He gives us. It is always for our good but for His glory.
A 'holier-than-thou' attitude is religious pride. A prime example of that is the Pharisee who thanked God that he was not sinful like the publican standing near him, whose head was bowed in silent godly sorrow as he humbly prayed.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank You, that I am not as other men are - extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes unto heaven, but beat upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
[Lk 18:11-13] NKJV
Psalm 51 was written after David's sin with Bathsheba. If Jesus had already come, the king would have known that Jesus promised never to leave or forsake the children of God. Also when we are born again, we are given a new heart.
The 'right spirit' is the Holy Spirit who will help our spirit man be molded into Christ's image. When we are born again, we become a new creation; all things become new. The old man has passed away. [2Cor 5:17] -BP)

I pray for God to give His bride the strength to endure what is yet to come and to be ready! Let us shine ever more brightly and be overflowing with His everlasting LOVE!
