The Master Vinedresser

Through much prayer and wrestling (fully understanding the importance of truth and being in God's will, especially when standing against the adversary, enemies of the cross and the world), Part 4 of Season of Consequences is nearly ready to post.

I am convinced that God’s true children all desire to stay in His will and not stray, but sometimes we do. Straying into sin is not what is meant here, although it is something we must guard ourselves against since our adversary and our flesh fight against our spirit. We cannot make excuses or justify our sins either.

When I started this blog, it was simply to share prophetic messages the Lord had given me. There is a strong desire in me to help others, even though by the world’s standards, I lack credentials. There was a leading of the Lord, and a bit of a push from Christian friends.

Jesus/Yeshua is the answer to all things, as only God can do the impossible; however, prayers to Jesus can change anything. Prayer (communicating with God) is the answer to all of life’s ups and downs, and in-betweens. 

It is how the Lord started me on my walk (intercession), long before I was committed. No one had told me that a person cannot pray unless they are saved, and for reasons that I will never figure out, people were oddly asking me to pray for them.

I always admitted that I believed in Jesus (ever since the orphanage, where I was for six, nearly seven years, from 2 ½ to 9 years old), but that was before I knew about the verse that tells us that even the demons believe and tremble. [Jam2:19] I was not committed, and my life was certainly not pointing to Christ. Those days are far gone, praise be to Jesus (precious Yeshua).

What I do have is a love for Jesus and people, a hunger for truth, and a strong desire to help others avoid deception, because it is the most dominant weapon in Satan’s arsenal. Most of us have been deceived at some point in this life. Lord knows I surely have been; it stings.

I was a sinner who broke all commandments; a hard nut to crack; a tough case; a late bloomer’. I joke and call myself one of the ‘winter roses’, a nice way of saying ‘old lady’.  (I chose a rose that was not wrinkled or shriveled up yet - illustrator's prerogative.) Admitting the above (tough case and all) is no badge of honour, my friends, it is a shame.

Sin is sin, and I desperately needed a Saviour. Nevertheless, it is guilt, shame and condemnation that Jesus Christ removed from me, and forgave when confession and genuine repentance happened [a repentant heart still beats within]. I was naked and filthy. Jesus washed me in His blood and clothed me.

He began a work that is still ongoing. [Phil 1:6] He did not reject me, why, I did not know, but I know now. I love Yeshua wholly (my Jesus/the name I was saved under), but that is because He first loved me. [1Jn 4:19] It is also because the one who has been forgiven much, loves much. [Lk 7:47] 

I am so glad that Jesus accepted and loved me! Forever He is to be praised, honoured, and glorified. My gratitude is never-ending. My heart shuns sins now and rejects everything that I once embraced.  

What God has done for me through His Son, Jesus/Yeshua, which is ‘salvation’, He will do for all who confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, and believe God raised Him from the dead. [Rom 10:9] A brokenness is involved, a turning 'away' from sin. It is that simple – yet this walk is not for cowards or pretenders.

It is not a game, but a sincere undertaking, which requires the Holy Spirit to help us through it all. He is faithful, and as promised, Jesus never leaves or forsakes us. If people fall away, it is because they chose to walk away. They quit, not Jesus.

Many say that those who fall away were never saved. I cannot agree because as I have often said, one cannot fall away from a place where they have not once stood. This walk can be very difficult at times. People can be mean [I have had ‘mean’ moments, sad to say]; life can be crueler, but Jesus helps us when we cry out, when our strength is zapped and our hope is smashed.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. [Ps 46:1]

The above verses show us that God is there to help us in very dramatic, chaotic, confusing, and frightening times. We can trust Him to still our fears. Our Creator understands us and our frailties. 

The Holy Spirit Guides Us

None of us can walk through this life without Jesus, or without the precious and Holy Spirit, and 'hope' we are in God's will, especially in these unstable, corrupted, deceptive, and destructive times, where wicked people plot and begin to fulfill the warning prophecies written in the Bible.

One can try, but it will not end in a good way if one does go blindly, and proudly, leaning on your own logic and understanding – believing you are too wise to be deceived, too strong to be controlled by anyone. 

At one time that spoke of me, but Jesus! I ended up deceived, and ended up in situations where I was controlled due to violence. Jesus was always there, but I was [also] blinded by self-deception. 

He was the one who brought me through dangerous situations, and gave me the strength to endure. It was not my own strength, as I had thought at one time. He is the one who saved, healed and delivered me – He is exalted on high!

Satan is the father of lies and a murderer from the beginning [Jn 8:44], who deceives the whole world [Rev 12:9] – Jesus emphatically and repeatedly warned us. The only way to walk through this life is with Jesus Christ, who [after He ascended into heaven] sent the Holy Spirit to guide and teach us.

I have never professed to be a pastor, teacher, counselor or anything other than a sister in Christ to fellow believers; one who loves to write, earnestly strives to glorify God through His precious Son, Jesus (Yeshua), and to share prophetic messages, if so led. 

There was more I explained in my testimony in 2012, which I will not repeat again here for the sake of time and space, but simply put, I am a servant in the house of the Lord, along with many brothers and sisters in Christ.

Truth and sound doctrine are crucial to me, but that does not mean I have reached perfection, stopped learning, or that I know everything. I have even had to unlearn some things. 

Many mistakes have been made by me in this walk, but the Lord corrects, disciplines, teaches us all, that is, if we are teachable and reachable. There are times the Lord chooses me as an envoy and gives me prophetic messages, just as He promised to do in the last of the last days [to whomsoever, male and female alike]. [Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17] 

That does not make me a prophet(ess), nor do I claim to be. I wrote about the 'title' in my testimony, but will not do so here. Long story, short time...

Having shared a few prophetic messages online on random sites a few years before starting this blog (started in May 2008), I have made mistakes in my online experience. I used to think that since things I posted online were not in a book or magazine, it was not 'published', and I could correct or add things as I grew in Christ. (I now shake my head at my naivety or ignorance). 

However, if I err, effort is made to acknowledge it (publicly if necessary) and correct such to the best of my ability. Yet, there are hundreds of articles, so if something is missed, it is unintentional. Truth is what Jesus is all about. He told us: I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, but through Me. [Jn 14:6]

It has also been noticed that Googlebot has made some strange and distressing changes when it has crawled some of the articles over the years, and even deleted a couple of articles, but that will not be discussed here at this time - but please duly note it. 

Salute of Respect to Honor Those Who Stick to Sound, True Doctrine

We all grow and learn as we walk [spiritually] with the Lord, just as we do in the physical. Sometimes we forget that pastors, teachers and counsellors continue to do so also, as surely as the apostles grew and learned as they physically walked with Messiah. 

Gasp! You mean they are …human?! Yep – way more real, err, correction, more ‘human’ than AI, but I reckon some would say I am biased, or have AI-phobia [new word?], or some such thing.

Please hear me on this next point, dear readers, as it is important that it is understood. There is no way, none whatsoever, that I ever want to, nor ever intended to take the place of a godly pastor [preacher], teacher or counsellor. 

Perish the thought! There are people whom God has anointed to shepherd His flocks (globally), solid people, not perfect (only Jesus was perfect), but people who stand fast on sound doctrine and truth.

Most pastors (if not all) do counseling as well, but if not, there are qualified born-again, [Holy] Spirit-filled men and women of God that are anointed to counsel. If anything, it would be my hope that this blog:

[1] glorifies God through Jesus 

[2] complements those who preach/teach truth and sound doctrine

[3] helps those searching for truth 

[4] (most important): points lost souls, backslidden, prodigals, the hopeless and weary, (all) to the One [Jesus/Yeshua] who can help them in every way they need [body, soul and spirit]; the One who saves, heals, delivers, restores, and still does the impossible!

Update [Mar.17.2023]: [the undeniable importance]: It is crucial [for everyone] to stick to the doctrine of Christ as it is written in the Holy Bible without twisting it out of context, or manipulating verses to fit some point that one is trying to make (that is falsehood; an indirect lie, deception) God does not make mistakes; we do; we people do...

Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and He saves them out of their distresses. He sent His word, healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. [Ps 107:19-20]

Given certain emails I have received, I really had to take time to let my position be known. It [my stance] has been mentioned before over the years, but with all the information rushing at us, it is easy to forget what we heard, or who we heard it from, and/or where we heard it. 

I am sincerely grateful for God’s shepherds of truth around the world, and cannot express how many times I have been helped in many ways as a result of a timely sermon, a Spirit-filled prayer, or sound counsel, all grounded in the Word of God.

One of the first online preachers that I highly respected and continue to learn from is David Wilkerson. It is sad that I only became familiar with his teachings after his death, although when I was younger, I did read a book he wrote called, The Cross and the Switchblade.

I found it a fascinating book for many reasons. I could relate on many levels, even brought me to tears a couple of times, but it still would be years before I ever committed to the Lord, or even attend church. What a joy to learn Nicky Cruz [in the book] stayed loyal to Jesus and went on to bring others to Christ. That was so inspiring - Glory to God!

Carter Conlon and Gary Wilkerson are a couple of pastors that I have heard a couple of times (so far) each. The second time I watched Gary was with his wife Kelly (she seems to be a tender-heart, sincere), and one of their sons [a video from 2019 on prodigals].

I enjoy their newsletters and articles by various writers. The Wilkerson family and World Challenge have my respect and very special place in my heart because of David Wilkerson (and his wife Gwen). I consider them true brethren in Christ.

Also Dr. Douglas Groothius, Jan Markell and her team (too many to mention here), Leonard Ravenhill, Derek Prince, Andrew Strom, Paul Washer, et al. 

Stop!: (This comes five days after original post) - I made a mistake!

(NOTE*: MY sincere apologies. No disrespect meant to Paul Washer, but I am not a Calvinist. I believe strongly that there are errors in that doctrine. And speaking of errors, I erroneously added Paul Washer's name to the list of the preachers that I salute as teachers/preachers of the true gospel of Jesus Christ, as it is written in the Word of God. 

I am not disrespecting Paul Washer, however, I cannot - will not, endorse Calvinism. I cannot salute that doctrine. Even false doctrines contain elements of truth, or else no one would fall for them. The serpent spoke truth in the Garden of Eden, howbeit was twisted truth, such twisting that the real meaning of the words God spoke were lost in the poison of the serpent's venom (wording).

This is likely paraphrased, but I think it was Kent Horvind who originally said that a lie, cleverly wrapped in truth, was similar to good food mixed with poison. It is 99% good food and 1% poison, and it is the 1% that kills. (The percentage he stated may be misquoted here, but the reader understands the meaning.) I heard it on a VHS  [Video Home System] tape someone had lent me.

The last video was sold in 2003, and the final sale was 2012. It was around 2004, that I had first head the 'truth and poisoned food'. I found it to be a clever analogy that I never forgot.

For five days, something was troubling me, and for the life of me, I could not figure out what in my post was trying my heart. Then today, it hit me. Someone had mentioned Paul Washer recently, which is very likely why he was freshly upon my mind. 

I have only seen (heard) Paul Washer on YouTube a couple of times a few years ago. (It has been some time). He is a likeable man; my prayer (as it is for all who love Jesus/Yeshua) is that his eyes are open fully to the truth regarding Calvinism. I did not finish hearing all Paul said the last time I was watching a recorded sermon, since I did not agree with with parts of the doctrine he follows, which I will not expound upon here. 

It is the Calvinist doctrine that I judge; a spirit of error. The day does not seem to be a full 24-hours anymore. It somehow seems shortened, although none could say how - except God Himself. It is for that reason (shortage or lack of time) that I did not finish watching Paul Washer's video, not because I disagreed. 

I can respect Paul Washer as a person, but I cannot salute his doctrine. What do we do when we really like a pastor or teacher but disagree with what they say? All I can say is what I have always said, what the Lord (yes, the Lord by His precious and Holy Spirit impressed upon me, and that is to PRAY!) 

Pray about the situation and for the person...and I pray that if I am the one in error that the Lord, for the sake of His Son Jesus, and for the sake of mercy, would reveal it to me. We must keep a repentant heart, and keep praying.

God is faithful! 

About Hearing Jesus

I greatly respect Justin Peters (and again, I have not heard a lot of his teaching either), but I do not agree with his conclusion that God does not speak to His people today. How often must I say that NONE of us has 100% answers or truth in every area, but we surely trust GOD to lead us into all truth by His Spirit. But, whether we choose to believe truth and accept it or not is ultimately our choice.

Justin Peters wants to guide people away from deception; I have no doubt in that whatsoever. I agree with his views on the WoF (Word of Faith) and prosperity preaching churches. He is someone who truly wants the sheep to avoid the wolves, as well as the serpent's lies. I do not agree on a couple of points, but hey, I am still learning - even at this age. I consider myself non-denominational, we must not stray from the Bible.

I told my son that people say that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. I said that is not true. If that old dog is a humble old dog, and is reachable and teachable, he will gladly learn from a loving master! (Encouraging the old dog with a 'tasty snack' helps too!) Glory to God - never give up.

WoF was the first church (aside from the Catholic influence in the orphanageI ever attended when I was in my 20s and searching (the one I ended up getting kicked out of - and honestly thought God had kicked me out). Now I see that God was 'saving' me from false doctrine, but it took a long time 13 years (13, number of rebellion) to try a church again. 

Well, with the extremes out there, that is surely understood. Notwithstanding, I strongly disagree. Jesus said, "My sheep know My voice..."; there are those who say that God only speaks through His Word. The Lord never contradicts His written Word (that I have said all along, multiple times down through the years, because I did learn that early - even before committing to the Lord, yet I believe the Lord taught me. He has been with me all my life since the orphanage...how I grieved Him. I had no idea...ah, praise God for forgiveness and a new start.

No 'new' revelation, nothing, that I have ever heard within my Spirit contradicts God's character either. Nothing, but nothing, takes the place of scripture. That is important to understand - nothing replaces the Holy Word of God! That is the authority. Remember, the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. It must bring the focus (draw the focus) to Jesus Christ, not any other. God's glory will not be shared, and those who do so, (take it; bathe in it) will know the consequences of such come judgment day.

People say that if we hear Him today, it is adding to His Word. No, God is still the same yesterday, today and forever. I do not hear the Lord with my physical ear, but deep within my spirit man, with a still, small voice. He is not loud or booming, but strong, yet gentle, quiet, yet 'heard'. To me that is not 'audible', it is 'spiritual'.

It is sad to limit God within the confines of a book... yet HEAR THIS please! All of us are under the authority of God's Word (Jesus IS the WORD come in the flesh; the Word became flesh in the person of Jesus/Yeshua (fully man; fully God); He walked amongst us (people)). [Jn 1:1] 

We have dedicated Christians who came out of Hinduism, Islam (Muslim), Buddhism, New Age, and other religions that saw Jesus. He drew them and by His grace and love, they repented. Christ did that, and many say He spoke to them. They never turned back to the old, false ways. There are too many testimonies of genuine (not radical or extreme) Christians, born-again, [Holy] Spirit-filled believers who testify to the Lord speaking with them.

He warned us about 'false' prophets arising in the last days that would deceive 'many'. The false mingles with the true; the counterfeit passes for the genuine if it can get away with it. They will even perform signs and wonders, which Jesus warned will deceive, if possible, even the elect. [Mat 24:24]

Yes, there are false ones today, guaranteed...and they are popular! Perhaps sometime I will go deeper into this, but not here, not now. Suffice it to say that I know Jesus speaks to His sheep today...but pray about all who say they heard the Lord ...and yes! that includes me. We have to, friends...Jesus said: it is written. 

Be anxious for nothing; but in 'everything' by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made know to God. [Phil 4:6]

And what will be the result of doing that, when the Lord answers you either by His written Word, or by the Holy Spirit deep within your spirit? The next verse tells us.

And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. [vs 7]

Focus on these:

Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. [Phil 4:8]

May God protect the preachers/teachers of truth, and strengthen them in days of persecution. May God uphold them in overwhelming times and demands, for their sake, but for the glory of God through Jesus/Yeshua. [End note] BP Mar20/21.2023)

NONE (not even ONE of us upon this earth) have all the answers or has the Bible perfectly figured out. HOWEVER, with the help of the Holy Bible, and the precious and Holy Spirit, we discern truth. None of us have all the answers I have stated many times over the years. I surely do not. 

I may not agree with pastors/preachers and teachers on everything, and that may be vice versa as well, but those disagreements are not salvational issues, or false doctrines straying from the pure gospel of Jesus. I discern they love the Lord and the people they serve, and strive to expose evil, and the false. 

Frederick Brotherton Meyer, Andrew Murray, Derek Prince, Charles Spurgeon, A. W. Tozer, are just some of the preachers that taught me after they had gone on to be with the Lord – all from books, with the exception of Derek Prince, whom I have listened to on videos.

There are many more, but my point is that there is no way this blog should dare take the place of God’s anointed preachers, or church, or any such thing.

salute to honour the
true soldiers of the gospel

Some people I have forgotten over time, but the Lord knows who they are and all the hearts they touched, giving Jesus all the glory. He has their rewards waiting for them. I salute my brethren who are dedicated preachers, teachers and counselors, who stand on the Word of God and stray not from the gospel of truth, and who pray.

I do not expect perfection because again, as stated, only Christ Jesus was perfect. As long as we are in these earthen vessels of clay, we will not be perfect, not until the day Christ changes us in a twinkling, and we receive glorified bodies.

May God anoint this blog so that His Spirit rules over the words, so that they are not sounding religious (as in ‘holier-than-thou), or pharisaical (legalistic; strict, lacking grace and mercy) because Jesus deserves to be glorified.

Even though I write on a variety of topics at times, may this site direct or redirect the focus to Christ and to the Holy Bible, the written Word of the living God [El Shaddai] …Bread [of Life] and Living Water for our spiritual man.

So, friends, there you have it. I am simply a Christian writer whose heart and all I am belong to Jesus; whose desire is the truth and serving others. If you are okay with that, a warm welcome is extended, as well as an invite to please come back and read anytime. Join with me in honouring Jesus/Yeshua (and exposing evil, the adversary and all enemies of the cross) Selah.

Spoiler Alert

                         

As stated, the next part of the mini-series (which was not planned by the by) is nearly ready, but I was delayed. Some of the delays were on my part, and due to things suddenly becoming hectic, unexpected events, and fatigue.

The other delays are of the Lord. Why? I have my ideas, but am not 100% sure, but it is known that if the Lord delays, His wisdom is not to be questioned. Our wisdom is foolishness to the Creator. 

A delay is like seeing the silent hand raised, and with trust and understanding, patiently wait (hopefully patient, but that has not been one of my strong points. We (the Lord and I) are working on it, but I wish He would hurry up)...

Omnipotent God - When the 'North' Blows Savagely

North Wind and the Sun
artist- Milo Winter/1888-1956

When I wrote part three – Backbone is BrokenI already had two other titles to follow-up, as well as partial subject matter for each. The first is: Judgment Comes from the North, followed by: "The Waves are Rolling In". 

The latter may stand individually, with ‘Judgment’ […] ending the series, but it remains inconclusive at this time. I have been eager to get the chapters done and posted (as the world's writers, watchers, and prophetic voices zoom past me in this); but delay is delay. Judgment began some years back, gently, to draw people back, but we became worse.

There will be no escaping, as in the days of Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah. Waves are part and parcel of the judgment(s) that are coming. Yes, a loving God, yet He requires justice and judgment. That has been written on here for years because the Holy Spirit pointed it out in the Word.

Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. [Is 9:7]

Thus says the Lord, Keep judgment, and do justice: for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. [Is 56:1]

"[...] from the North" was first mentioned several years ago after having a 3-day dream vision [January 2011]. A couple of points mentioned were: a bear with three arrows running across the top portion [NWT, Yukon, etc.] of Canada from an easterly direction and heading west toward Alaska. I only understood ‘in part’, as there was much to the vision.

Also, “UFOs” with increased reports, especially northern Canada, was in the three-day vision. UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) was not an expression back then. Almost sounds like a setup for the ‘unexplained’ in a big way. Another mention was regarding 'fire' in the North Atlantic, between Canada (far north-east coast) and Ireland (west coast).

Long ago I should have looked at a map because I had originally thought what I saw was between Canada and UK or England, but Ireland is more appropriate. Also, I had seen [spiritually] the (symbolic) 'all-seeing eye' and a pyramid above where the fire in the Atlantic Ocean had been seen.

It all reeks of ‘deception’, does it not? No wonder Jesus mentioned the word “deceive” four times when answering the question His disciples asked about what to look for in the end times, and the sign of His return.

"... the north" was of interest to me even back then, so research was undertaken. Scripturally, ‘the north’ can mean a few things. Without spoiling all of it, notice in scripture how ofttimes God brought forth His judgments upon idolatrous, rebelling people by stirring up hostile nations and allowing their invasions to come from the 'north'.

Then the Lord said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. [Jer 1:14]

Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction. [Jer 4:6]

One example of that is given in the book of Joel, when the 'invading' armies God sent were called "locusts". [Joel 2:25]

The Lord always provided the solution to stop His judgment [remember Nineveh and Jonah], which was, without question, when the people as one [whether village, city, or nation] and its ‘king (leader), confess their sins in brokenness and humility - a genuine repentance due to God's patient [slow to anger] agape love; a turning back to the true, living God wholeheartedly. 

O Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your vain thoughts lodge with you? [Jer 4;14]

Judgment is something God forewarned about. See these two prophetic words that the Lord, in His agape love, yet wisdom and truth, let us know that He does 'not' play games. He is serious.

As a loving Father, He protects; yet also as a righteous God will bring judgment upon the lands, giving every opportunity for repentance from a rebellious people.

Time is Almost Up 2016     Sound the Alarm 2016

The Holy Spirit Broods Over the Repentant Soul

Pride and rebellion have been, and are being, broken off many people. It is the season (season of consequences) where the heart is stirred up and convicted, much like when the holy angel that God sent to trouble the waters in the pool. [Jn 5:4]

Those who respond without hesitation are delivered and healed. The Holy Spirit is brooding over the earth, much like He brooded over the waters, amidst the darkness [Gen 1:2], and has been (and is) moving upon hearts steeped in various sins. Sorrow, grief, pain, rejection, hopelessness, loneliness, these things respect no age…

Condemnation brings guilt and shame; it comes from the adversary, and the flesh (whether from other people, or condemning ourselves). It is destructive, and leads to no good thing. Conviction comes from the Creator who sees and hears that which is happening, and understands that which lies deep within each heart.

It leads to a broken and contrite heart. It leads to repentance, which brings forgiveness and healing. It is a good thing. El Shaddai (Adonai) has been longsuffering indeed [2Pet 3:9], but the whole earth is travailing and groaning.

The Messiah’s people are groaning within ourselves too, longing for His return [Rom 8:22-23]; many are weary [Is 40:30], yet determined to endure to the end to be saved. [Mat 24:13] We all continue to ask for strength [in body, soul and spirit; in every way], wisdom, knowledge, truth, and especially, increased discernment.

God is serious about salvation. He is intent upon deliverance (setting captives free; loosing bands of bondage), healing and miracles. He is moving to draw people to repentance and back to Himself. He will not force anyone, but He is good and His mercy endures forever.

Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents. [Lk 15:10] Glory to Jesus! Hallelujah…

God Loves the Righteous - He Can Handle the ‘Giant’ Matters

David and Goliath - artist unknown

God warned of the Year of the Giant and the Year of the Righteous [2022], and it was a year for both. The year began with the giant Canadian convoy, one that gained respect globally due to its non-violence [constant real-time videos were uploaded to social media platforms, which is how the 'world' witnessed the truth of the FREEDOM convoy], despite what PM Trudeau and the MSM said to the contrary. 

The year 2022 ended with a giant (immense) 200-vehicle pileup in the city of Zhengzhou, China, on a bridge amidst low-lying heavy fog. The good news was that only one (one too many, yes) was killed, but it could have been so much worse. From start to finish, the year produced ‘giant’ happenings. There were many things that occurred throughout the year which were gigantic in proportion.   

I eventually learned that once the Lord announces a thing, it continues until He ends the season. It must be said that He has not announced an end to the 'giants', or to the 'righteous' season, which is something to pay attention to.

[Excerpt from Year of the Giant […Righteous] Part 1]

Quick Heads Up 

This is not all the Lord has put on my heart about 2022, but this encapsulates it well.

The Year of the Giant and the Righteous

It is established that this year [January 15 post] 2022 shall be:

• the year of the giant, both in the spiritual and in the physical; both for the good and for the evil. There will be things that take place which will be giant (gigantic) in proportion, meaning things too big to ignore – too massive to forget.

These things shall happen (and are happening) on a global scale in the global arena; however, as far as where, what and when it is entirely in God’s (Adonai) hands for He alone is the Sovereign God. He gave us His Word to read and follow.

The Lord first spoke of the clash of the kingdoms to me about eight years back when I was still in the States. Witchcraft was increasing and becoming more acceptable to the masses. It has amplified even more now.

Those on the dark side have their nefarious plots, plans and agendas, implemented (carried out) by the "giants". But God is on the side of the righteous [that is the true disciples, with a heart of servitude (not lip service only)]. The remnant shall see victories in many areas. He who gave David victory over Goliath, and the Israelites victories over the other giants (even in the 'Promised Land') will give victories to His remnant.

That does not mean a trouble-free year, but certainly a victorious year in many ways and on many levels. Hold fast and steady ...we can rest in the Lord, in TRUST and hope. The Lord is so close...we who love Him sense it and know it. We are like a horse pulling at the bit - no! Allow me to correct that.

We are like the Bride ready to gaze upon the face of the Bridegroom.

That is the quick version.

It is always encouraged that each reader takes matters to the Lord in prayer. I know that there are times I myself forget, and go about my business. But things are getting thick in this battle, and Satan has geoengineered a fog to try and blindside God’s people.

That is why we must practice NOW taking things to the Lord, even if they ‘appear’ petty (Satan is the master of illusion. Remember the poison of the ‘fruit’… outward appearances can be deceptive). Greater is He [Jesus] that is in us [the saved] than he [Satan] that is in the world. [1Jn 4:4]

Jesus is the Faithful and True One who speaks to His sheep in a still, small voice deep within the spirit man, and through His written Word (scriptures). (More coming up in the "Judgment" piece). 

'Pivotalyear was what the Lord called 2020 and was posted on January 29 that year, approximately six weeks before SARS CoV2 (coronavirus), CoVid-19 was announced as a pandemic on March 11, 2020, and the entire world went into lockdown. However, 2022 was also called a pivotal year by God. 

I believe each year from here on in will be a pivotal year (a 'turning point' in one way or another), whether currency [digital], ID, AI, 'smart cities', 'freedom cities', aka '15-minute cities' (we do NOT want any of it, but the 'push' is not just with the 'jab', but the whole 'GREAT reset') and much more, as the wicked plod steadily (plot) ahead - but it is written! Only Adonai knew... His will is done, not man’s will. 

A decade ago, the Lord mentioned increases in intensity and frequencies in the events Jesus foretold [Mat 24], but time aids forgetfulness. Most of us would agree that with so much happening, we all forget easily these days.

Dig Deeper

If we dig deeper, we find other instances in scripture that speak of Adonai’s glory and splendor often being revealed or seen in northerly places. We also have the glorious heavens, although with the naked eye, and even with the aid of binoculars, we can only see the first heaven, where the birds [Ps 104:12], aircraft, and 'strange objects' fly.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handwork. [Ps 19:1]

Powerful earthbound telescopes and astronomical observatories have enhanced humankind’s knowledge of space. Yet, the Hubble Space, the Gemini, and the Giant Magellan, are telescopes that progressed over the years (starting with the Hubble), with each new one becoming more powerful and distinct.

Danger, trouble, fear, and death shall attend the 'North'. Heavily upon my heart has been "North" America [Canada and USA, even Mexico], but also Israel. Iran and Saudi Arabia keep me alert – trouble therein, and Rome, Africa.

ISIS has its sleeper cells in foreign countries, particularly the West, where many can even pass as Mexicans coming into the United States, and onward up into Canada. Exodus from war-torn countries (such as Afghanistan and Ukraine), countries with deadly persecutions [China and India], are at an all-time high.

Prime Minister Trudeau promises a new home for 1.3 million immigrants by 2025, which could be a good reason why the Lord is warning countries to be on alert. Canada, US, UK, and European countries are accepting thousands of refugees and survivors of war, persecutions, and natural calamities from many Islamic cultures.

(Note*: An important observation will be discussed regarding 'immigrants' in the upcoming 'Judgment  Comes from the North' article. [End note] - BP)

Years ago, I understood that 'repentance' was what the Lord was warning people about. Now, it is global; there is not one nation that stands alone in wholly honouring God. There are nations and its people turning now to Jesus Christ in impressive numbers, coming out of Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and even Judaism .

As a result, Satan has been increasing global persecution, even in the West. The Lord has shown that persecutions shall continue to increase until the time of the revealing of the ‘lawless one’, and the time of great tribulation.

How does one get an entire nation or nations, who are saturated in sin, godlessness, and lawlessness to repent? Only God can, as His Spirit moves upon the people…

Omniscient God - the Only One Who Knows All Things Futuristically

Before I was committed, I had a dream, where the Lord sang two songs. "Give Me the Glory - Please Trust in Me" and "Sifted as Wheat"Yes, Jesus named the songs, not I. In 2011-2012 the mention of the two was posted in my testimony, which the Lord impressed upon me to call: "First the Inside of the Cup"

                 

What the Lord was revealing to me in 1999 was that:

* [1] He was calling me to come to Him (give Me the glory - first song) 

* [2] trust had to be learned [also first song] (Jesus/God can surely be trusted in ALL things - it took me many years and many lessons to learn that. I am proof of His patience!

* [3] sifted as wheat; a great shaking [second song]: Jesus gave fair warning that an aggressive, forceful shaking was going to happen: the Lord did not say (and never has) given dates [when] or 'durations' [how long it lasts] for anything.

So, in 1999, the Lord was warning things would be 'sifted'/greatly 'shaken': and many besides me needed to learn to 'trust' the living God and His only begotten Son.

One thing about sifting wheat is that it is a process that is done in stages, a separating, a removal of things that do not belong. It is a preparation time. It was the first time Jesus warned me about a preparation process, but it would certainly not be the last. Our faithful Lord has been preparing His people for some time for what is on the verge of going down.

Keep Watch – and Pray

Even I forget what message is where and in what year. Only God is omniscient. All glory, praise and honour belong to Jesus. At the end of excerpts from articles, a link to the original will be provided if someone is interested in reading a post or prophetic word in its entirety.

Just a reminder that often when a message is lengthy, it would be given over a period of hours; sometimes even days or weeks. That has happened frequently over the years. The long messages rarely come in one sitting, but after times of prayer, or as the Holy Spirit moves me. When you read the writings, dear reader, you will likely understand why the Lord led me to repost. 

One last thing, please note that some pictures have been changed in this post; certain ones where it seemed appropriate to 'update', since some posts are over 10 years old. Evil is more in ‘our face’ now, and Satan and the world displays sin more boldly and unashamedly.

Great Changes - Evil Descends, Fear Not, Destiny is Upon You


Changes are beginning and have begun – great changes. They have begun and shall proceed. In time with Me, I reveal that which I so choose to, not only that which you have been prepared for, but also that which you knew not – that which is to come.

Some of the great changes have been part of a long process and began previously at a time I chose and shall manifest at the appointed time. Other changes come; and though they may appear as suddenly, they were ordained for a determined time.

Though the majority state that things are always changing, I tell you that the changes that are coming have been foreordained. The world shall see changes the likes of which have never been seen before – these things must be, for many have been foretold in My word.

My people shall see changes that they have waited for – changes that have been prayed for, as well as personal covenant promises coming to pass (manifesting).  There are those who come to Me in true humility; those who fear their God, honouring Me with thanksgiving and praise, hungering for an even deeper intimacy.

I have heard the prayers of My people, those who pray with humility. I have seen the truth in the prayers, as they pour out their hearts to Me over all that concerns them. I hear the prayers of the weak, as well as the strong. I have heard your prayers. Be patient.

Faith, Trust and Patience

Many do not understand My ways, for they have not learned that faith must be blended with trust. Others must be patient and not struggle with the waiting period, yet it is written:

The LORD is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeks Him. [Lam3:25]  

They endeavour not to complain, yet the difficulty and frustration in learning patience (waiting) has been hard. Indeed, it is a hard thing to learn and to practice at times, yet it does teach much and yields a harvest of good.

It is but one of many lessons, and yes, one of many trials and tests My people must pass. At the end of the matter, patience reaps its rewards. Hold fast to that which I have spoken to you, for it shall come and not tarry – only be patient just a while longer. It is coming – it is done in the spiritual; wait for it in the natural. 

Give thanks; rejoice. Let your faith prove to be firmly established, trusting in Me. Faith and patience has its rewards. I too have had long patience for the precious fruit to come forth. Do not let the adversary or any man (person) sway you or take you off the path that I have and am leading you upon. 

[End]

[New excerpt  BEGINS – same article 2015]

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope. [Ps 16:9] 

Rejoice, rejoice – stand firm on the promises in My word and faint not. Again I say, be patient just a while longer for the appointed time – for it shall appear, and seemingly suddenly. Do not give in by setting your eyes upon the circumstances, for such things are temporal. Set your eyes on the eternal and trust.

I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what He will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

     And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. [Hab 2:1-3]

     Changes of Evil

Trojan Horse

The wicked ones who plot secretly shall be caught in their own mischief and they shall not know from where it has arisen, for they have added year to year, killing sacrifices. They shall not be able to put off that which shall be, for desolation shall come upon them suddenly and unexpectedly.  

[Many places] You shall be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire [volcanoes; wars]. [Is 29:6]

That day is not yet, but fast approaches, for it is written and spoken by My Son:

(Note*: Keep in mind that this was written/posted in April 2, 2015; this is now March 12, 2023 at the time of this repost - the Lord is Faithful to forewarn down throughout history, from the beginning of our time -BP)

[New excerpt – same article 2015] (Keep in mind that some pictures, but not all, have been updated for this article to prove the wisdom and sovereignty of God; only Adonai knows the end from the beginning- BP)

Evil Escalates

sorceries

A multitude of sorceries and a great abundance of enchantments have taken over the earth and its inhabitants, and a spirit of deep sleep has fallen upon the masses. 

Witchcraft seduces and ensnares, bewitching with a multitude of sorceries and an abundance of enchantments. Wisdom and knowledge have been perverted, and the evil of gross pride has lifted many up in its arrogance.

(Note*Look at how much the PRIDE movement, transgender exaltation, and changes in laws [referencing sex laws - pedophilia, bestiality, incest, et alto complement bothhas risen up in the past eight (8) years since this original post. Only God knew – Also, keep in mind that I stated that some pictures have been updated from years ago to more recent, even up to 2023, in part to show God’s omniscience – [End note] BP2023)

strange gods

They provoked Him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they Him to anger. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. Of the Rock that begat you, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God that formed you. [Deut 32:16-18]

Therefore shall evil come upon you; you shall not know from whence it rises: and mischief shall fall upon you; you shall not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not know. [Is 47:11]

Drought is spreading across the lands of the earth, in the physical and in the spiritual, for My judgments go forth. Indeed, a drought of truth also spreads, for My Word is not heard clearly. In many places, My Word has been debased – corrupted and twisted in every way by the enemies of the cross and workers of iniquity.

such as these some call
 'signs' and 'wonders'

Many look for a sign so that they can believe, but I say once again: 

A wicked and adulterous generation look for a sign, but none will be given except the sign of Jonah. [Mat 16:4]

Then said Jesus unto him, Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe. [Jn 4:48]

Evil entities have been and are hidden from the eyes of the deceived and lost multitudes, yet these shall soon manifest for all to see, in the appointed hour. Satan can (has and will) appear as an angel of light and his ministers do appear as ministers of righteousness. Their end shall be according to their works. [2Cor 11:15]

Put on the full armour provided for you. Watch and pray! Stay close to Me and abide.

Ungodly Counsel


Many seek wisdom regarding matters at hand and things to come, yet in their lack, as well as their idolatry, they have not asked of Me. They seek high and low for counsels, but not of Me.

Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, wherein you have laboured from your youth; if so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you may prevail. 

You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save you from these things that shall come upon you.  [Is 47:12, 13]

Idolatry   

materialism

queen of heaven - Jer 44:19

false god

idolatry

Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?  Therefore, speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus says the Lord God;

idol

Every man of the house of Israel that sets up his idols in his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that comes according to the multitude of his idols

That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from Me through their idols. [Eze 14:3-5] (Emphasis mine BP)

Deception  

Herbert Armstrong, 'Moses' David Berg
Sun Myung Moon
false teachers, false prophets

Many innocent have been deceived; many ignorant have been taught by and prophesied to by those whose heart is not after Me, and great is the number of the prisoners held captive. Many prophets divine lies with vanity, saying, “Thus says the Lord GOD”, when I have not spoken.

(Note*: The scripture Jeremiah wrote about the ‘prophets who steal words from their neighbours’ [Jer 23:30] comes to mind hereBP2023)

They conspire, taking people as prey like a roaring lion, devouring and oppressing souls, robbing them of treasure and truth. There is mixture of their words, done purposely to seduce and deceive and to accomplish their evil intent. They draw people away from the cross, away from Me, away from My Word, away from My commandments.

Many pastors /preachers speak forth, putting no difference between the holy and profane or the unclean and the clean. Not one of these hirelings have stood in the gap for the people or for the nations, praying that they would not be destroyed.  Do not let them deceive you.

And I sought for a man [even one] among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. [Ezek 22:30] (please read verses 23-30 for clarity BP)

Where is the laboring for the harvest? Where is the call to repentance? Where is the burden for sinners, lost souls and wounded believers?

all of Nineveh repented
Jonah 3:6

Those that listen to the pastors, teachers and prophets such as these are like sheep that have no shepherd.

My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, My flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.

For thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search My sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out My sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. [Ezek 34:6; 11-12]

The hireling flees, because he is an hireling, and cares not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine

    As the Father knows Me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one-fold, and one shepherd.  [Jn 10:13-16]

     Flee from those who do not care for or protect the sheep. Flee from those who stray from the gospel of the good news and introduce to you a saviour that is unlike Jesus (Y’shua), My Son. They introduce a doctrine, but not the doctrine of My Son who taught that the kingdom “has come near” (My Sovereignty, authority and power on earth).

     For man also knows not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them. [Ecc 9:12]

 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding. [Job 32:8]


Read My word; engrave it upon your heart. Then shall truth be clear and discernment sharpened. 

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. [Is 8:20]

     That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; [Eph 4:14]

     If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; [1Tim6: 3-6]   

     Woe to the rebellious children, says the LORD, that take counsel, but not of Me; and that cover with a covering, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin[Is 30:1]

Satan’s Armies

The approaching hateful, destructive ones shall deceive many, and those 'many' shall speak as one who has a familiar spirit, and their speech shall whisper out of the dust. 

On L: Klaus Schwab - WEF founder
on R: Yuval Noah Harari - Schwab advisor

An infantry of terrible ones, evil in every way and cloaked in gross darkness, shall be led by one who works deceitfully and shall move with devices amongst the nations. All the nations shall be in distress and shall fight against them [devices] and from within.  This has been prophesied of old.

(Note*: [Since the original post], I wonder now if 'devices' means AI and other advanced technologies that will imprison, destroy and control people [End note] BP2023)

On one hand, the terrible ones shall bring destruction, and with another they shall show signs and do mighty miracles. Then shall the great and small upon the earth be led into battle.  

For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. [Rev 16:14]

Yea, but My power and sovereignty has been doubted and clearly ignored by multitudes. They are ignorant of the time appointed; they have no fear of the One who does not change.

God shall hear, and afflict them, even He that abides of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. [Ps 55:19]

[Excerpt con’t from 2015]

Great Change for My People

I have heard the cries of those who plead for revival, with travailing and groaning, even fasting. They agonize for salvation, healing and deliverance for those they know who are lost, for the multitudes that they do not know, and for those that they do know who need deliverance, and just one touch of the Master's hand. 

It is I who has given the gift of a heart filled with love to those who stand in the gap and intercede; this freely given to those who cry out for a pure heart and clean hands in all truth. Yea, for it is by My Spirit that I draw men unto Myself through My Son, Y’shua/Jesus.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?  [Mat 7:11]

Revival

Revival is indeed coming across the lands, across the nations – it has begun.  It cannot be advertised or planned by man, for revival is wrought with repentance, fervent prayer, humility, and a willing heart. I indeed have revived Mine who have wearied, yet still faithfully run the race, as well as those who desperately long for a deeper and closer intimacy with Me.  


 God, You are my God; early will I seek You: my soul thirsts for You, my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see Your power and Your glory, so as I have seen You in the sanctuary. [Ps 63:1-2]

outpouring of Holy Spirit

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: (And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My Spirit.) [Acts 2:17; Joel 2:28, 29]

    (Note* - the “last days”, “latter times” covers the entire gospel age and does not only pertain to ‘now’. We are in the last of the last days, which is obvious as we witness the increased number of prophecies fulfilled and being fulfilled before our very eyes, revival has happened all along, in stages throughout history - Moses, Elijah, Jonah, John the Baptist, et al. Understand... BP2015)

    Revival has begun. My hand is not shortened that it cannot save. The delay is due to the few labourers – where are those willing to go forth into the harvest fields? It is they who travail and groan in prayer to be sent forth by Me to bring them in.

     But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.  

     Then said He unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are fewPray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest. [Mat 9:36-38]

To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. And when he puts forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. [Jn 10:3, 4]

     I am raising up My labourers who are willing and prepared workers. They are coming forth now; yea, they are here.

     Labourers Being Sent Forth

 My people, My elect, My remnant, shall know and witness great changes which  shall empower them to do the great exploits.

 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but  the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits[Dan 11:3]

 It shall be as prophesied by Moses:

 But if from thence (from that time) you shall seek the LORD your God, you shall find Him, if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. When you are in tribulation, and all these things are come upon you, even in the latter daysif you turn to the Lord your God, and shall be obedient unto His voice;  

(For the Lord your God is a merciful God;) He will not forsake you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore unto them.

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, or has been heard like it? [Deu 4:29-32]

The role of My true followers is crucial in witnessing of the evil and warning of coming judgments and sin, but also of My grace and mercy – a message of love and salvation and the forgiveness of sins through My Son Jesus (Y’shua), to all who will believe and receive, and thus repent with bitter tears and brokenness.


My covenant people are bought with a price by the sacrifice of My Son, in the blood of atonement. The penalty of sin was cancelled upon the cross and the sins of the repentant are washed by His blood. Victory was assured after His burial by His resurrection, and later, His ascension. My elect are those who have prayed in all humility and made confession to Me, turning from wickedness.  

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 My eyes shall be open, and My ears attentive unto the prayer that is made in this place. [2Chron 7:14-15]

Surely as My people gather themselves unto Me in unity and pure love, so shall I bring forth a remnant, My elect, separated, obedient and fully dedicated unto Me.  These are those who lay down their lives in faith, trusting in their God, walking in the ways and very steps of their Messiah (Saviour).

These are the labourers I shall send forth. Great change is indeed coming, as these rise up above the voices of defeat, unafraid of the powers of darkness, believing that by My Spirit they shall do great exploits, knowing that I am the same yesterday, today and forever.

Answered Prayers and Miracles

This is a time of revealing and many can bear witness. I who sees the heart know what you will pray for before you even ask. Believe that I hear and know I shall answer.

Call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not. [Jer 33:3]

They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. [Is 65:23-24]

Many of My people have prayed and waited for My answer. Some are beginning to wonder if they heard from Me or not, and if so, then why is the answer long in coming? Patience, for You well know that My timing is not your timing. 

If I told you a thing, then you must not doubt. Faith pleases Me. Offering up thanksgiving as one, wholly confident in Me is faith in action. Trust must accompany faith.

Many have wearied in waiting and fail to guard their words; unbelief must be eliminated by faith. You must persevere with patience, for you do not see all that I am doing or preparing behind the scenes. 

Do not destroy My work by your words of doubt or unbelief. Even if your flesh tells you a thing is impossible, remember that nothing is impossible with Me. Guard your heart; guard your mouth. Trust Me and wait patiently. 

 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. [Prov 18:20-21]

Speak life. Speak truth. Believe Me for I am not a man that I should lie.

God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: has He said, and shall He not do it? or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good? [Num 23:19]

(Note*It is understood that when the Lord repeats Himself, there is good reason, and it is for our good. He repeatedly has told us to pray, discover His will by His Spirit and His Word. He tells us to align our words with His Word, even 'speak forth' His Word - for healing, salvation, deliveranceBP)

[New excerpt – same article as above, from 2015; link at end]

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood; but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in the high places. Wherefore [for that reason], take upon you the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [Eph 6:10-13]

Walk with Me. Keep standing on firm ground (Rock), believe, trust and wait. Great change is indeed coming.  Satan and his minions bring change that masquerades as good (calling evil good and good evil). 

This must be for it has been prophesied. Resist the master of illusion, who will whisper negative words in your ears that sound right, but are poison. He seeks to destroy your faith and steal your destiny. Keep your eyes on Me. Read My word so that you know My ways and are not tricked by the imitator, the great counterfeiter.

Take courage and rejoice, My people, for great changes are coming into your lives that you have indeed waited patiently for; answers to prayer, healing and restoration, deliverances, salvation and miracles.  But the greatest joy of all is salvation of one who repents.

sealed by the blood of the Lamb slain
Jesus the Messiah (Yeshua)

Likewise, I say unto you, there is JOY in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents. [Lk 15:10]
