2024 The Auspicious Dragon

2024 The Auspicious Dragon

I have two other articles in the queue. One of the two is also called The Auspicious Dragon, but it pertained to other topics, such as the witchcraft and the spiritual warfare intended to end the 2023 series.

It was previously explained in a recent article that the good Lord had impressed upon me to end the “Season of Consequences” [2023] series, which covered all of 2023, a ‘first ever’ since I started writing – highly unusual.

The first entry in the ‘Consequences’ series was called “The Great and Terrible’, posted January 1, 2023. Howbeit, that was actually the second post I made using those words in a title.

The first time was actually called, “On the Verge of the Great and Terrible”, which was posted New Years Eve. Yet, since it was past midnight, Google (who owns the Blogspot website) put January 1, 2018 date as the header, but put 2017/12 (December) in the URL [web address]. It matters not. It was six years ago (6the number for man).

The title came (with permission), after a sister in Christ and I had been conversing on the phone. During our conversation, I discussed the article that I was about to post. It prompted my friend to mention one of the bible verses about the "great and terrible day of the Lord" that she had recently read. 

Things I mentioned that I had written about caused her to think about that scripture. I was elated since the article was written yet remained untitled at the time of our conversation. It fit perfectly; and even though it was scripture, she was the one the Lord used to bring it forth, then moved upon me to use it as a title. I asked if she minded if I used it. "Not at all," she had stated; bless her soul.

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful [terrible] day of the LORD: [Mal 4:5]

None of us can recall all that we say or do in a year, and I am no exception. I was surprised to see that I had used Jeremiah 33:3 back in 2017/18 because it was four or so years later in 2022, when I was preparing to move east from B.C. that the number 33 kept popping up in random and unexpected places.

I have pictures on an external, which (interestingly) I planned to post in one of the articles sitting in the queue. Only Jesus…glory!

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

Please understand that I am careful about using numbers or making it a grandiose topic. Those involved in the occult or the 'arts' [divinatory arts] use numerology in a divinatory way to explain events or to use it in a predictive way.

Satan has taken everything he can that God created to taint it or to use it in a corrupted or perverted way. However, the Hebraic alphabet uses a numeric system. God created numbers, mathematics, science, physics, chemistry - everything. I concur with the person who said God is the author of absolutes.

Throughout the Bible, Shaddai used numbers and ordered precise measurements on things such as Noah's ark, the building of city walls, or temples, the division of the Israeli tribes (12), and the layout and size of their individual camps.

The Lord preserved certain numbers, using them repeatedly, such as 3, 7, 11, 12, 17, 40, 50, 70, et al. In his competitive pride, Satan/Lucifer uses numbers as well. He also likes to use the numbers:

* 2 [used to provoke manifestation/appearance]

* 3 [used in spells, considered magical] 

* 5 [Qabalah/Kabbalah]

* 9 [spiritual enlightenment, higher consciousness, etc.] 

(Anton LaVey apparently connected the number to Satan [number of ego], stating it "always returns to itself" 

* 18 [9 doubled]

* 666 [to instill fear]

This is not a study of numbers, but a quick example of how Satan counterfeits or copies everything of God to bring confusion, division, strife, and deception. All that God creates and does is pure and holy in its original state.

However, I will be repeating my little rant on numbers because when I wrote this article it was done in sections, over a few days, so the part of numbers repeated. There is a reason for everything, even when it is not understood at the time.

Over the years, the Lord has repeated things with me. I often wondered why, but the Creator of all things not only does things consistently but without exception, He does things decently and orderly as well. 

Now that more truth has unfolded and is revealed, I understand the constant repetition. This revealing will continue. Not only because in 2012 after Obama was reelected and the words "Now it begins..." were impressed heavily upon my spirit man (heading for the great tribulation), but everything is increasing in intensity and frequency, just as he foretold back in 2008.

The Lord has countless envoys (messengers). I am but one, a watchman, as I believe we all have things we see that can link to what another sees from their vantage point, their position. Consistency, evidence, and testimony…

2017 – Partial Prophetic Word

One of the things mentioned in December 2017 was this:

[excerpt begins]


The “rattling of sabers” has been heard for a long time, yet I say to you that the “rattling” will be replaced by the sound of “clanging”, for the sabers are coming out of their sheaths and out of their places where they have been worn and are being raised high. 

Warfare is upon the earth – it has hung over the globe as a foreboding cloud of darkness, with outbreaks in certain parts. But the cloud is about to burst and the clanging shall be seen and heard in diverse places globally.

Woe to those who sit in comfort, ignoring their Creator and living for the world.  Their hearts shall fail them for fear, for they will not know what to do or where to go.

Division, division, division…great division

(Note*: 2024 comment: In another message, the Lord spoke of a 'great divide' in the United States. I believe it was 2012, but I did not know what that meant at the time. I thought perhaps different states breaking away, or a great earthquake. I did not have full interpretation at the time (like Daniel when Michael had to help Gabriel because the prince of Persia withheld the angel).

But later the Lord let it be known that the backbone of America is broken...

 
One thing He meant was a great divide amongst the people, not just in the secular because the Lord was warning His intent to separate sheep from sheep (like cattle from cattle), [true from false??] brought about when He judges them. He has mentioned this a few times since 2012 or 2013. I will find it...Meanwhile, please see Ezekiel 34:17 to see the separation of cattle from cattle--BP2024)

Found the links. The Lord first revealed scriptures (like Ezekiel) in 2015, and again in 2018. He speaks to us through His Word. Never doubt it. You may expect something to immediately jump out at you the moment you open your Bible.

That can happen and often has over the years, but just as often, the Lord will lead me to read a chapter or two, sometimes in different books, but in them a connection is highlighted by the Holy Spirit. That is one way I mean the Lord "impresses" upon me.

El Shaddai still speaks today, perhaps not in a burning bush, or through the mouth of a female donkey speaking your language, but less dramatically -- through His holy and inerrant written Word (logos).

I believe He also speaks to us personally, not necessarily in an audible voice, but as a Father to His child, or as the Creator to His creation. One has to tread carefully there though. I have said from decades ago, the Lord never goes against His character as is revealed in the Bible, nor does He ever conflict with His own written Word.

No one can add to the Bible. It was completed when the last letter was written in the book of Revelation. However, God is not limited or stuck between two book covers any more than He is stuck in an Ark, or in a temple. He is everywhere (omnipresent). 

Moving on...

Other things mentioned in the 2017 article are:

• a great shaking

• judgment

• separating.

Only God knows the end from the beginning (something else I state often because the Holy Spirit keeps it forefront in my mind and heart). It establishes peace because it is a constant reminder that the living God has no beginning or end; He is eternal and He is Sovereign, fully in control, whether we understand or not).

El Shaddai did declare: [also in 2017]

I have risen from My throne. The shaking increases – judgment falls, and has been falling for some time. It shall increase. It is moving over the lands as surely as famine, pestilence, and death moved over Egypt at the time that the locusts came, and pestilence and the first-born of both man and beast were slain [Ex 11:5]; when Pharaoh’s hard heart had no fear of the Creator of all things, the God of Israel.


(Note*: 2024 comment: the judgment and shaking is global. This I understood as He spoke deep within my spirit, not audibly, but [Holy] Spirit to [my] spirit. BP2024)

And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. [2Pet 3:4]

But as the days of Noe (Noah) were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be[Mat 24:37-39]


Water was the judgment the first time and fire shall be the finality of latter judgment. Already records for drought and forest fires have been broken. Earthquakes and mighty whirlwinds continue to increase in intensity and frequency in diverse places as foretold. Increase in power and destruction, the mountains of fire (volcanoes) shall unleash their fury. 

 [end excerpt]

Please be encouraged to read the above-linked articles if you are so led by the Holy Spirit.

Season of Consequences – The Great and Terrible, as well as the above, On the Verge of the Great and Terrible contain prophetic messages that are pertinent for today, such a time as the one we are now in. The Lord is exalted; Jesus is glorified!

Standing Strong Against Opposition

Last night [Jan.13.2024] I was led to 1 Kings 22, where Jehoshaphat (king of Judah) and Ahab (king of Israel) are deciding about Israel and Judah going to battle against the Syrians. Jehoshaphat was first mentioned in an article back in August (2023), almost a week after I got out of the hospital.

After a plot of the enemy took place, leaving a hostile, tense environment in the hospital, and enclosed in an observation “closet” (a makeshift room with a camera installed) in the emergency wing of the local hospital, I prayed to God – frustrated, confused, angry at injustice, broken, unwell and in pain.

Jesus meets us at our lowest points in life. In the hospital, I had no strength physically, mentally, or emotionally. Any spiritual strength was granted mercifully by the Lord through the Holy Spirit.

I was led to 2 Chronicles 20. After reading it, I was moved to repeat parts of King Jehoshaphat’s prayer to God (the parts that seemed applicable). The part that stood out, and the part that was prayed earnestly on my behalf was the following.

O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that comes against us; neither do we (I) know what to do: but our (my) eyes are upon You. [2Chron 20:12]

The Spirit of the Most High God came upon a man named Jahaziel (whose name means “God sees” or “Beheld of God”), who was the son of Zechariah. He prophesied:Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” [vs 15]

Jehoshaphat was given instructions about where to go and where he would find the army of the enemy. Jahaziel continued, “You shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves; stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.” [vs 17]

And before heading out early the next day, Jehoshaphat said: “[…] Hear Me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall you be established; believe His prophets, so shall you prosper.” [vs 20]

He spoke with the people, and appointed singers that would praise the ‘beauty of holiness’ and sing, Praise the Lord; for His mercy endures forever.” [vs 21]

Throughout the Old Testament, there are stories of battles and wars. We see prayer was offered up to God by prophets and kings many times as they sought counsel about whether they should go to battle or not.

God is indeed Sovereign over all things, but you can see where He told the leaders on occasion that they should not go to battle, but if they did, He would not be with them.

That is one reason we need to be in prayer before we head into spiritual warfare over the intense and crucial battles we face throughout life. There are times He will instruct His people to go ahead, knowing that He is the Lord of the battle.

Other times, you may well be told to stand down or to fast and pray first. God will direct you. Jesus/Yeshua said that He would send the Holy Spirit, who would guide us in all things. We need to trust and rely on God’s word.

So, when I opened to 1 Kings 22, I was surprised to be reading about Jehoshaphat again, so soon. Only this time, he was allying with King Ahab of Israel, who was going to war against the Syrians.

However, before he went, Ahab wanted to know what the prophets were saying about the battle. Needless to say, about 400 prophets [1 Kings 22:6] (6: the number of man) told Ahab to go up to battle and the Lord would hand him the victory; however, they did not realize that they were prophesying falsely.

Jehoshaphat was unsettled about the counsel because he asked if there was yet another prophet. Ahab said there was, but he did not want to call him in because he felt that the prophet hated Ahab, and thus always spoke ‘evil’ against him (rather, he spoke words from God that Ahab did not want to accept, or hear).

That prophet was Micaiah [vs 8], and though a messenger told him what the other prophets prophesied, and was advised to speak ‘good’ to the king (Ahab), Micaiah said that he would only speak that which the Lord said to him.

Short version: Micaiah said that he saw Israel scattered on the hills, like sheep without a shepherd, and the Lord had said that they (sheep) had no master, so every man was to return to his own house in peace.

Ahab was displeased and repeated that the prophet never spoke good concerning him, only evil. That is when the prophet said that he saw the Lord on his throne and a great host all around him.

They wanted to know who would persuade Ahab to Ramothgilead (to fight the Syrians), only to die upon the battlefield. That is when a lying spirit was sent to speak through the prophets. [vs 23]

Ahab had Micaiah put in prison, intending to have him killed when he returned from battle. He was given old bread (bread of affliction) and impure, dirty water (water of affliction/sorrows). [1Kings22:27]

To make sure Micaiah’s prophecy failed, Ahab disguised himself so that he would not be recognized as king, and he had Jehoshaphat put on his kingly robes so that the Syrians would think he was king of Israel.

Shorter version: The Lord spared Jehoshaphat and caused the captains in the Syrian army to realize that they were not pursuing the king of Israel. One of the men drew his bow and aimed at Ahab, causing a deadly arrow to find its way through the only chink in his armour.

Ahab was wounded and ultimately died. He was brought back to Israel in his bloody armour as he lay inside his bloodied chariot. Ahab’s body was brought to Samaria. Whilst the chariot was being washed of the blood at the pool of Samaria, dogs came and licked Ahab’s blood clean off his armour.

Just like his wicked wife Jezebel, they both ended up going to the dogs. Jezebel was devoured by the dogs [1Kings 21:23] (only her skull, feet, and palms of her hands remained), and Ahab’s blood was licked by the dogs, just as the Lord had spoken it. [vs 28]

It was in the same place where the dogs licked Naboth’s blood (the man whose vineyard was stolen, and Jezebel had him killed), just to satisfy Ahab who wanted the land.

After I finished reading the chapter, I closed the Bible and wondered why I had been led to read it. It was then that the Holy Spirit highlighted one part. It was the part about Micaiah. He was known for speaking opposite to what the prophets of Baal spoke.

The word that I will be posting was given to me in 2013, and it is in the archives.

Year of the Snake and Year of the Dragon


2013 was the ‘Year of the Snake’. What strikes me as amazing is that 11 years later, 2024 (when I am led to post the prophetic word again) is ironically called the ‘Year of the Dragon’.

Both the snake and the dragon are symbolically connected to Lucifer/Satan. Those who follow the Chinese zodiac write positive traits and meanings behind the symbols.

For example, according to one Canadian website, the snake is considered: intellectual, superstitious, skeptical, astute, elegant, innate wisdom, and ‘possibly’ some levels of ‘supernatural capability’. SOURCE: bullionmart.ca

A few weeks ago, I was looking up a gift for my grandson and decided to check the Lego website. There were many new products, but one of them was called: Auspicious Dragon.

There was a stirring in my spirit man, and I decided to do a Google search to confirm or negate a hunch I had. Sure enough, my hunch was confirmed. 2024 is the Year of the Dragon.


That explains why one of the new products Lego has put out is called: auspicious dragon, which is where the idea for the title came from after things fell into place. (more on this shortly)

The Lego set has 1171 pieces to it. Eleven (11) in the Hebrew-Greek, I learned long ago in a study that 11 means judgment, disorder, chaos (rebellion is associated with it). The study came about out of curiosity since I was born in the 11th month, and I learned that letters in Hebrew were linked to numbers.

Source: Lexicon Concordance

It is linked to perishing, destruction or ruin, place of destruction, and Abaddon.

On the flip side, Hebrews 11:1:

Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

The entire eleventh chapter of Hebrews is all about faith. So, as with anything, the number can be presented for good or for evil. Why? Because as I have often said, Satan copies or counterfeits (imitates) everything God created, IF he can.

But remember this. When God created all things, He looked upon everything made and saw it was very good. Satan did his dirty work in the Garden of Eden through the subtle serpent, who deceived Eve, who in turn caused Adam to disobey.

From that point on, things began deteriorating and mankind grew further and further away from the Creator. Yet, His love for us never quit. In giving us the written Word (logos), we can see how this will all end.

Satan, being blinded by pride (arrogance and rebellion), deceives himself into believing somehow he will win in the end. Meanwhile, he seeks to destroy all of God’s creation and make his own. AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the means he intends to use. Cyborgs, robots, 

Will the Antichrist be a humanoid robot that Lucifer/Satan possesses? I wondered when I understood the Lord to say the Antichrist would not have dark skin (Obama was in office and people were saying it was him, but I never sensed that for a moment - only his wickedness, especially when he mocked the Word of God).

But it did not seem that it was a 'white man'. Could it be skin the colour of a humanoid? Satan will seem to have all the answers, that is, the one he possesses, the son of perdition, the lawless one. Will the Antichrist indeed be robotic, able to present 'signs' and 'lying wonders'? (think of the 3D printers)... It seems to be heading that way… (more on that in another article)

Lucifer’s Counterfeit of Faith

Numerology is something I avoid mostly, but just as anything upon and beneath this earth, Satan has copied God’s creation. I will not ignore what God made beautiful and pure out of fear or manipulation of the enemy.

The Lord is the Creator of numbers. Throughout His Word (bible), He uses numbers. Some numbers stand out more than others, with significant meaning, seven (7), 40 etc., but all that God does is good.

I did not consider what 2024 was astrologically because we are warned against astrologers (not to be confused with astronomers or astronomy), stargazing, etc., nor was I focused on the Chinese zodiac.

Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, wherein you have laboured from your youth; if so, 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 [soothsayer, fortuneteller, illusionist, Sybil, et al], stand up, and save you from these things that shall come upon you. [Is 47:13-14]

It is part of occult practices and New Age beliefs – horoscopes, astrology, divination, etc. It did not sit well with me to see such a well-known company that has been around for decades for children to secretly be honouring the dark side, whilst injecting subliminal messages of the sexual kind into their work. That was the deceptive truth about Disney...things done in secret (covertly).

However, we were forewarned about Satan appearing as an angel of light. He has always longed for child sacrifice. Yet now, we find ourselves in the very season, the very time where good is called evil and evil good, as the prophet Isaiah foretold.

It has been mentioned in the writings a few times since 2012, and my friends, it continues to escalate and accelerate. So it shall until the time where the lawless one, the Antichrist is revealed.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! [Is 5:20, 21]

Long before I came along, the Lord spoke through the ancient prophets and Messiah’s apostles, warning of blind and greedy shepherds, ravenous dogs, false brethren, sorcery, witchcraft, and divination. He continues to warn each new generation.

We are also warned about false teachers presenting false doctrines (poisoned [spiritual] food), false prophets, and wolves in sheep’s clothing, who in these days will and can show great signs and wonders (the Christ/Messiah warned His disciples then and future generations).

With the reading of 1 Kings 22, and reading how Micaiah had to speak hard truth to King Ahab, which angered him. He threw the living God’s prophet in prison with tainted water and stale, moldy bread (bread of affliction and water of affliction/suffering), it was made clear to me to post a word from 2013, which I had prayed about nearly three weeks ago, then placed it on the back burner, unsure what to do until instructed further.

Stumbling across a website that advertised a Lego toy whilst looking for a gift for my youngest grandson, I saw the auspicious dragon, only to find out it is the ‘year of the dragon’ for the Chinese. (My grandson loves dinosaurs and thinks a dragon is one.) Then to learn that the year the prophetic word was given was the Chinese ‘year of the snake’, I realized that the Lord was connecting the dots.

Of course, Satan can appear as an angel of light, so naturally, there is a 'light' kit, specially made to go with the 'auspicious dragon'.

Auspicious Dragon

Evil personified -- "inauspicious" (foreboding)

Before I post the prophetic word given to me in 2013, let us break down auspicious, a curious word that Lego named one of its newest products.

Auspicious: conducive to success; favorable

The words ‘favorable’ and ‘propitious’ are common synonyms of ‘auspicious’. While all three words mean “pointing toward a happy outcome,” auspicious applies to something taken as a sign or omen promising success before or at the start of an event.

Synonyms: promising, favourable, encouraging, bright, opportune, hopeful, advantageous, prosperous, profitable

Inauspicious: unpromising, unfavourable, discouraging, ill-omened (Satan's has no promising or favourable end)

SOURCE: Meriam-Webster (Dictionary/Thesaurus)

Could this be how Lucifer deceived one-third of the then-holy angels to follow him in rebelling against Almighty God? Did he ‘encourage’ them and ‘point toward a happy outcome’? Did he convince them that it was an opportune moment and that the outcome would prove to be advantageous and ‘prosperous’? (like the false Word of Faith doctrine, the deceptive 'prosperity' gospel)

Is that how he convinces people today to serve him, by promising them a ‘favourable’ and ‘bright’ future, a ‘profitable’ one? He still deceives the masses, as many believe that we are ‘little gods’, or as God that we can create with our mouth, with our own words "speak life".

The false doctrine takes the true Word of God out of context, thus twisting the meaning at the same time. It teaches that we can "speak the word" and "decree and declare" what we desire to be (stating it is "God's will" for His people to profit, be healthy, have their 'best life now', and prepare the world so Christ can return).

Trudeau and his famous
"fuddle duddle" expression he invented
to cover up profanity he spoke erroneously in public
in the 70s

"Fuddle duddle", made famous by Pierre Elliott Trudeau as Prime Minister means "to depart". Indeed, the Word of Faith (WolF) 'departs' from truth!

Life and death are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat the fruit thereof. [Prov 18:21]

Life – to bless someone, to encourage them, to teach truth etc.

Death – to curse someone, to discourage them, to lie/deceive etc.

We speak life. We will be held accountable for idle words.

But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give an account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words, you will be condemned. [Mat 12:36-38] NKJV

Preachers need to pray and be truly sure about what they are teaching by their preaching. This is a whole other topic, and not for now. Let us move on to the message that was given in 2013. To God alone be all glory, love, and trust.


Battle Above the Clouds – On the Verge of Wars


[Excerpt from 2013 prophetic message - link at end of article - BP2024]

Death is coming to America.’ I saw in the clouds women and men wailing, full of confusion and fear. I saw many being wrongly imprisoned. I saw a woman huddling with a child, protectively... (multitudes of children murdered) and I saw great death, and a famine. ‘Men who wear black will soon be a common sight. They are as wolves; men who are possessed or controlled by demons.’ There were multitudes homeless and being ‘rounded up’; grouped together.

(Note* 2024 comment: It is possible that these heartless or cold-hearted men are transhumans, cyborgs or humanoid robots, programmed by WEF global youth leaders. It could be militarized police (which is happening all over North America - BP2024)

I saw the death rider with a scythe in his hand. ‘He shall sweep over this land.’ I saw great waters coming. I saw smoke of massive volumes. I saw angrydisgruntled leaders filled with hatred. Soon there shall be the manifestation of the leader who appears as one of ‘light’ [appears as Christ], yet he is opposed to Christ. He is arisingHe is here. He is not white-skinned. (It was NOT Obama!) (he is not black; the skin is olive or light tan). He will give fair speeches and seem as a ‘god’ to many.

I saw great masses of people fighting amongst themselves, betraying each other. I saw chaos and mayhem. It seemed as though there were two separate wars; one amongst people within the same nation; and another where ‘nations’ were coming against ‘a nation’. I sensed it was the USA under attack; but it broadened, spread into Canada and southerly into Mexico. It consumed North America. 

(Note* 2024 comment: Canada and Mexico did not get by unscathed in the vision BP2024)

There were places of safety, shelter. There were angels commanded by God to lead and protect His people…some [angels] appeared as mere men.

Then within me, I heard, (for all [His] people, self included):

Give up all forms of lust [lust of eyes, lust of flesh, pride of life] and frivolous spending. Do your part and I will do mine. Look to Christ. My angels are all around you. Obey Me as I direct your steps. 

Angel ministered to Yeshua/Jesus in Gethsemane
artist--Adam Abram

My angels go forth at My command. It is time to arise in willing obedience and DO. Lo, I am with you. Trust and hold fast to your faith, for without faith, it is impossible to please Me, for he that comes to Me must believe that I AM, and that I am a rewarder of those who diligently seek Me. [Heb 11:6]

(shared) In service to the King † 

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever[Rev 5:13]

My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart makes a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war [Jer4:19]

The Word of the Great Spirit Chief [Commander-in-Chief] YHWH, speaks strongly to those who have an ear to hear. How great is the faith and love of our King? It is beyond human scope and comprehension.  

With all the warnings sounding in the ears, and wonders and strange happenings before the eyes, which causes all, (all-encompassing) from the greatest to the least to be perplexed and murmur. Those who hear; those of the true Body will not fear, for the Head (the King) speaks words of wisdom, understanding, and counsel.

He confides secrets to (all) His people, speaking of that which is and that which is to come. He utters wise counsel; He speaks forth direction and guides their steps by what He commands.  The wise and obedient give ear [listen] and obey. Their faith goes into action and their strength is of the high and holy One who is their Chief; their Commander.


In Battle above the Clouds, part 5, I mentioned how we must not walk in fear, but neither can we ignore the evil that is happening all around us.  The Lord is faithful and always has been, to let His people know what to expect and what to do; what He expects of His people. (repentance, dying to self (flesh) daily, forgiveness, abiding, love God first above all, faith, obedience…its all for our good, but for His glory)

Over the last couple of years, we have been inundated with reports of possible catastrophes, as well as reports of horrific events that have taken place.  From earthquakes, to tornadoes and hurricanes, to solar flares, to the dying off of marine life, birds and mammals, sink holes, approaching asteroids and comets, economic collapse, wars and rumors of wars, blatant occult activity, increased shootings, murders and suicides, unexplained sounds and sightings in the earth, and the list goes on. 

Also in part 15 on verge of wars 2 April 6.2013

I allude to the fact that there are two possible scenarios, one with the agenda of introducing old diseases that have been modified or revamped to take out increased population, as well as the very real possibility that the zombie apocalypse could be "citizen" apocalypse (as in killing off the citizens who rise up in civil war or unrest (disobedience) – hence a civilian apocalypse).  I went into further detail in part 7

This is what I was led to write (the date for the following is Wednesday, November 7, 2012):

Now it begins…brace yourselves for great evil. Nothing happens that I do not allow. I set kings up, I build and I pluck down. (then scripture is given from Daniel 4 and John 19

There is a great divide amongst the people and anger and rebellion is stirred up as a troubled hornet’s nest. There are plots against the ‘king’ to 'take him down', for many see his disloyalty to Israel, and many feel he has betrayed their country (United States). Plans to take him down will seemingly be successful but shall be overturned when least expected. The West shall be in great pain; they will be greatly hurt.  The backbone of America is broken; it is severely fractured.

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.

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. (still the same, yesterday, today, and forever...I added that part in – BP2013)

They have set up kings, 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]

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. Woe to those who plot and plan evil; woe to those who seek to take matters into their own hands. Many use My name to conduct their evil, but the god they serve is not Me. 

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.

Plots are against Israel, yet the hatred for America has escalated and is measured in great proportion.  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 them 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. 

What has been written shall be!  It has begun… Fear not, My people, for a remnant shall escape. Hold fast to Me. Be at peace within, not the peace that the world gives, for no peace remains upon this earth. It is filled with hatred, rebellion, greed, and rioting, as in the days of Noah.

Repent, Be Holy, A Warning, written in 2006, posted on my old website on Piczo in mid-2007 (now defunct), and posted again in 2008 on Blogspot [now removed - apologies].  

In the excerpt – the following was written after I had spoken of a vision/dream I had, where two armored evil riders came out of a vortex, (one (the 2nd rider) with the head of a jackal? [rather like the Egyptian god], riding upon war horses, speaking in a foreign tongue that I did not know or understand)  The Lord led me to Ezekiel:

Then I was to write...

[I (the Lord God) will bring the terrible [mighty warriors] ... (of all nations) and they shall draw their swords [against the beauty of their wisdom] and (mighty warriors) shall [defile their brightness])

[They shall be brought down... for they are proud and lifted up; they exalt themselves]

[will they say they are like gods, but they are not ... ] [...who shall slay them?]

(Note*: I do not know why sometimes I am to repeat a thing, but the Lord does not waste words. Take all things in prayer to the living God. BP2024)

What has been written shall be!  It has begun… Fear not, My people, for a remnant shall escape. Hold fast to Me. Be at peace within, not the peace that the world gives, for no peace remains upon this earth. It is filled with hatred, rebellion, greed and rioting, as in the days of Noah.

Also, in March 2010, the Lord had me write a war warning: Battle above Clouds-On Verge of Wars2  (Note* - These were moved to an external, in hopes to start a new website. I removed 5 years worth of articles. Please stand by. - BP 2015

[Update:** Sadly, external got virus; out of hundreds of articles from a five year collection, perhaps 100 or so were saved BP2024)

In May 2011, I wrote Approaching Horses! – The Spirit March.   

Another war warning!   How many times He warns us, so many times, through so many vessels to be sure that we get the message? It is just as He did in times past through all the major prophets, His apostles and disciples (all people filled with the Holy Spirit in those days)... and all those He chose to speak through before; even in the days of Y’shua/Jesus when He forewarned Jerusalem of its destruction.

[Note*: Some actually hear from the Lord; others do as Jeremiah rebuked some for in Jer 23:30 BP2024]

Even when I was entering the United States the last time (January 2008), and was told to go into the building for questioning at the border, the Lord revealed to me what was coming.  When I said to the Father that I did not understand what was happening (had I been mistaken in going to the U.S.?), No, rather, He instructed me to look around and observe.  

What did I see?

It is written in my testimony, but what I saw were people of every age, from babes in arms of mothers, to old people, and every age group in-between. There were people from all kinds of nations, as many wore the traditional clothing of their country, such as Africa, Pakistan, India, many Middle Eastern countries (including 'Biblical' countries), Europe, United Kingdom, Mexico, the Islands, Canada and even Americans were being detained at the border

The Americans were laughing because they had all gone to a big sporting event in Canada and could not get back into their own country. It was then that the Lord revealed to me that in the United States of America, the day will come when people would be rounded up by authorities. They would be helpless (powerless), unable to go anywhere they wanted or do anything without the permission of the authorities.

Everyone's papers and identification were checked, people were all suspect, all ages, all beliefs, all nationalities – rounded up as cattle in a pen ("culling the herd" came to mind), waiting for the ‘verdict’ of what would happen to them (us, me).  

I knew that it (what is coming) meant martial law, containment (FEMA camps or internment camps, as they are referred to), NWO, persecution, slavery and torture. 

I know (well, believe) many would be (will be) separated from their families and killed. The Lord sent me here to USA. I do not think these things will be soon, as in a few months (January 2008), or I doubt He would have sent me. He is a good Father who leads us properly when we look to Him to direct us. He is my hope, my God, Abba, Saviour, King, Lord (Y'shua), my everything!

I had recently moved and was renting a room. That is how I remember the approximate time frame. I had been laying on the bed and had closed my eyes, but I was not asleep.

I saw beautiful water and understood that it was an ocean. Suddenly, I saw three dark shadows upon the water, some miles from shore. Although the images remained dark (as shadows), I soon understood that it was two warships and a submarine. 

The sub was sitting on the surface of the water (it was not submerged), off the east coast of the United States (out a couple to a few miles), as were the warships. One word came to mind - Russia. I opened my eyes and the vision ended.)


As I was pondering this article, not only did the vision come to mind, but also two events that were reported by the media, but stayed low key, or rather, outside of the usual buzz when news hits - the topic soon died out.
 

The two ships on the left (above) are almost identical to the warships I saw in the vision, except that they were more shadowy in vision (not as detailed). I remembered that a few years ago (2012 approx.), I had heard that there were Russian ships seen off the east coast of the United States, so I decided to look it up.  

With the global elite operating in the occult as Luciferians, honoring the 'god of forces', the apostasy that is happening, the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic groups flexing their muscles, with all that is going on in the eastern countries (including China - Japan conflicts, and other many other tensions), as well as what is going on in the United States, the only way to keep balanced and not become overwhelmed is by seeking God and clinging to our King.

We must be repentant and be forgiven; to be purified, to love the Lord with all our hearts and walk in love, willingly obedient to our King.  He will guide us, as we lay it all down, He will take it from there.  He is faithful and true and will not leave or forsake us.

Lay everything down at the feet of the Lord, pray and read the Word, and let the Lord be who He is - God!  He will lead us as we lean on Him.

For we walk by faith and not by sight. 
 [2 Cor 5:7]

He will lead us in all truth.

Test of Endurance

Spoken in Haste and Confusion

Many believe they are in right standing with the Lord and strong in faith. That may well be quite accurate, but be assured, if this is what you know to believe, you had best be prepared for the violent shaking and the proving of your faith.

I do not think any of Christ’s disciples will escape this test and great shaking - none. We will feel like Job, and we would do well to be encouraged by remembering why Job was going through what he went through and what the outcome was.

Yes, the accuser (Satan) mentioned Job before the holy God and challenged his faith in God. Job was to be tested (tried) as never before. After a great and horrible trial (the Word of God never states how long the trial was, but the first week, Job's friends said nothing, and it is quite possible that the incredible trial went on for months).

Oh that I were as in the months past, as in the days when God preserved (watched over me) [Job 29:2]

I was at ease, but He has broken me asunder: He has also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. [Job 16:12]

Job felt undone, shaken to the core (shattered), but in the end, there was need of repentance on Job’s part due to the words he spoke out of haste.  He regretted when he was born and had wanted to die. But in Job’s despair, he questioned God’s wisdom, justice and fairness in all that befell him.

Have we not done that, especially if something happens that truly tears at our heart, overwhelming us, when the rug feels pulled out from under us and our world comes crashing in upon us?  I have. In my own haste and foolishness, I have said things to the Lord that would have best been left unsaid…yes, even desiring to leave this earth.

Have you ever had such internal pain, grief, sorrow and anguish that you just wanted it all to end, to stop, in order to gain some relief? Have you ever been confused by a hardship, the intensity and length of a trial and wondered why God has allowed such a trial or tribulation to take place?

Have you ever questioned His discipline, or wondered why He has not intervened more speedily in a desperate situation, or if He was ever going to move on your behalf at all? Have you ever wondered at God’s love for you, His justice or His will in a hardship?  Have you ever uttered foolish words hastily, overcome by emotion, confusion and desperation as a result?

These questions would be for those who have gone through either an onslaught of hardships or some great trial that were so devastating, so uncertain, so stubborn in its length that you felt like your whole world was turned upside down and inside out.  And no amount of knowledge of God seemed to make rhyme or reason of it.  There just seemed to be no logical explanation.

Our imagination can wreak havoc on our souls, and yes, Satan and his armies can very well take advantage (and often do) in our weakened state.  But God! Are we not glad that God does not oblige us when we speak foolishly?  Are we not glad that He is not as frail and offended as easily as we are?

When we balance our feelings and settle our emotions, we begin to realize how our faith has been challenged and how we almost succumbed to utter despair.  We are indeed drawn to repentance by the goodness, mercy and love of a holy and just God, through His precious Holy Spirit. 

We respond to His love with our love.  We do repent and we do seek to come fully into alignment with God’s Sovereignty and His will. Yes, truly and surely – “We love Him because He first loved us.”  [1Jn 4:19]

We come to realize the dangerous pitfalls that await us if we do not fear God and acknowledge that He is love; He is Sovereign and He is fully in control of all things. Job had to come to understand and know God in a way that tradition did not teach.

The Righteous Do Suffer Afflictions
We are not Job, and it is unlikely that Satan has asked God if he could personally do everything to us outside of taking our lives.  Yet as Peter was, Satan will most assuredly sift us wheat. Any true follower of Jesus Christ will be challenged when it comes to their faith and their trust in and love for God.

We know that God disciplines those He loves, and corrects everyone He accepts as His son.  [Heb 12:6]  Although Job was considered a righteous man by God (Yhvh), under great duress by Satan, as well as the intensity and duration of his trial, there were things that surfaced in Job that he came to realize and needed to repent of.

Who is he that hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Hear, I beseech You, and I will speak: I will demand of You, and declare You unto me. I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You. Wherefore (as a result of which) I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. [Job 42:3-6]

From the time of Adam, Job had likely heard of the Creator and understood Him by the traditions taught (sacrifices began with Cain and Able), but all that Job had heard and been taught about God brought confusion to his understanding in his great suffering.

He felt that the righteous would or should see no hardship or discipline. Job felt that God was so unjust in what He allowed to happen to him that he actually desired to go before God’s judgment seat and present his arguments, to so that God could explain His injustice and reasoning.

Oh that I knew where I might find Him! that I might come even to His seat! I would order my cause before Him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
[Job 23:3, 4]

Even Elihu had to rebuke Job, for Job had questioned God’s justice when he spoke of his righteousness and how he was being treated with no more regard than the wicked. Job felt that despite his righteousness, he still had to endure great suffering and tribulations and he could not make sense of it.

Elihu, the youngest in the group of four of Job’s friends, determined that Job was indirectly stating that he was more righteous and equitable in his actions than God.

Elihu spoke moreover and said, Think you this to be right that you said, My righteousness is more than God’s? For you said, What advantage will it be unto You? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?  [Job 32:1-3]

Elihu went on to speak of pride and vanity, and told Job to trust in God because he had opened his mouth in vain and he multiplied his words without knowledge. [Job 35:14; 16]   He reminded Job that the Lord God, who is perfect in knowledge, wisdom and strength, does indeed give justice to the poor, and keeps an eye on the righteous. [Job 36:6, 7]

The young man explained things to Job in ways that he might come to understand God’s sovereignty, since Job had questioned the ways God was handling his situation. When the Lord finally did speak to Job, He reminded Job of every detail in creation, as well as the intricate precision involved and His ability and love in all of His provision.

He asked Job if he could instruct the Almighty or reprove (reprimand, rebuke, reproach) God. He further asked Job if he would condemn Him so that Job could prove himself to be righteous, or would he disannul God’s judgment, or show forth the strength and power that is His.  [Job 40:8, 9]

When all was said and done, Job came to truly understand and know (see) God.  He realized that God is just in all He does.  We too learn that it is God, by His precious and Holy Spirit that brings us back in balance, brings us back into alignment.  God truly does draw us to repentance with His goodness.
Yes, Job sincerely repented, understanding that he was formed and created by God out of the dust, but he was also led to pray for those who came against him. It is not that his friends intended to come against him.  They were his friends, after all.  But they lacked the wisdom of God and leaned on philosophy and their own logic, their own understanding. That is where they erred. 

In trying to help Job, they were sure that all his troubles were rooted in some hidden and unconfessed sin.  Is that not how some think about us when a myriad of problems swamp us, or have we felt that way about someone else who seemed to have more than their share of troubles (people call it ‘drama’ today, sadly).

The Lord will and does reveal things hidden in our heart, in ways that only He can do. He may well hold back blessings in order to get our attention.  He knows the best way to handle each of His children.  He knows what He is doing and is fully in control, whether we understand what He is doing or His ways or not.  Who can know the mind of God?

Spiritual Warfare is a Reality
Some blame everything on Satan (the devil) or blame God for ‘allowing’ hardships or tribulation to happen. I have written the following more than once, but as a gentle reminder, I will take the risk of repeating myself. We need balance when it comes to the things that happen to us and what the cause of something may be.

Multitudes do not believe that we have an adversary that tempts or brings troubles our way today.  Some of this is because of the Word of Faith teachers that falsely claim that a Christian will not suffer poverty, illness, tragedy or any other such trial or tribulation, if they only give generously, and if they confess or speak things into existence.

Again, we cannot manipulate God or force His will to conform to our will.  He is God, we are not!  Some make it seem like a ‘stomping’ game, rather than real battles and warfare. Others claim that those who speak of spiritual warfare are playing ‘victim’ and placing all their woes upon Satan. There are some that do blame everything on Satan, which is not correct or accurate either.

First of all, spiritual warfare is no game. Second of all, we are not ‘victims’ if the enemy and his armies come against us. Satan hates all of mankind, and has set out to deceive, to steal, kill and destroy.  It is true that we cannot put all the blame upon him. Oh, how he would love to take the spotlight and the glory. Revelation speaks of Satan’s wrath.
Jesus Himself was tempted in every way and he was no victim. He spent a good part of his ministry casting out demons, delivering the captives and healing them. It was no game and he did not waste words conversing with the demons, asking them many questions. They are liars. Only once did He ask the name of a demon, and it replied, ‘‘My name is ‘Legion’, for we are many.”  [Mk 5:9]

Jesus (Yeshua) did not need to know the name of the demon, as I am sure He knew exactly what He was dealing with.  However, by doing so, the people who were witnessing would see that whether there were only one or ‘many’ demons, Jesus had all power and authority over them. There were other reasons also, but that is not the heart of this writing, so let that be a tidbit of meat to chew on.

We are told to resist the devil and he will flee, but that does not mean that there will not be a battle.  Look how demonic forces came against Michael and Gabriel in the book of Daniel.  It can be a battle, but greater is He (Jesus) that is in us than he that is in the world. [1Jn 4:4]  We must understand Satan wars for our very souls.

We need to discern when it is the fallen condition of the world (life itself), people’s choices and sin that has come against us, or demonic activity, or whether God Himself is disciplining us, or even purging and purifying us. It is imperative to stay close to God and keep in prayer.

Yet, we were warned about these latter times also.

See that you refuse not Him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused Him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from Him that speaks from heaven:

Whose voice then shook the earth: but now He has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire. [Heb 12:25-29]

Many today do not fear God; they have no godly fear and expect God to let them get away with their sins because He 'understands' and 'loves them'. They say, "God is no respecter of persons", not understanding that in both Romans and Acts where that statement is made, it pertains to salvation for both Jews and Gentiles.

Past Sins Forgiven
Some believe that when we come to Jesus, all sins are forgiven, past, present and future. This is not so and it is a false teaching.  No one would keep a repentant heart if all present and future sins are forgiven at the time we first repent and are saved.

All sins are indeed forgiven up to that point and they are forever gone into a sea of forgetfulness.

He will turn again, He will have mercy on us; He will subdue our iniquities; and will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.  [Micah 7:19]
I like what Corrie ten Boom said when she was speaking about God forgiving us of our sins and casting them into the depths, into the sea of forgetfulness. She said that God posted a sign that said, “No fishing allowed.” 

In other words, do not go back and bring past sins back up again. Jesus added that we must forgive others also, so we can be forgiven.  We cannot walk in hatred and bitterness. We too must extend mercy.

Jesus said, Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” He also said, Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” 
[Mat 5:7; 9]

The purpose of this final purging (and yes, due to the time we are in, I believe it is one of the Bride's final purging, for some are still entering in [being saved]) is to reveal anything in us that is not of God, and to give us a chance to repent and die to self in every area. God will have a holy (set apart) people.

The purpose of pruning, purging and refining is to be made holy, pure and worthy of our beautiful King and Savior, the soon-returning Lion of Judah. Addictions and unhealthy habits are being exposed or brought to the forefront, in order for us to repent and to let them go and die to self - so that the glory of the Lord can fill these earthen vessels.

God is also revealing the root cause of the addiction. Some breathe a sigh of relief declaring that they have no addictions or ungodly habits; they either already dealt with them long ago, or never had the problem to begin with.

That is always a good thing to not have to suffer through addictions. Various forms of lust, pride, arrogance and greed/selfishness are also being exposed and dealt with.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. [1Jn 2:16]

There are those who believe in once saved, always saved, but fail to understand that we are saved from death (second death) and sin, but salvation is a process of growth.  We are being transformed into the image of Christ. [2Cor 3:18]

Some tend to neglect Jesus' words that ‘if it were possible, even the elect would be deceived’, [Mat 24:24] and warnings in scripture about a 'falling away'). [Heb 6:4-6]  I have always said that a person can only fall away from a place where they once stood.

Last Days Increased Sin
Sexual immorality is at an all-time high. It is absolutely worse than the Israelites in the wilderness carousing before a golden calf, Babylon and its temple prostitutes, idolatry and human sacrifices, or even Sodom and Gomorrah –rebellion, idolatry, witchcraft, lust and much more, all wrapped into one.

Familiar, unclean, seducing, lying and evil spirits are as real today as they were in the days of old. Demonic activity has increased, even in many of today’s churches in these last days.

Adultery, fornication, orgies, bestiality, covetousness, phone and cybersex, pornography, masturbation, incest, homosexuality, gluttony, drunkenness, divination, and onward it goes.

Offenses, unforgiveness, bitterness, anger, hatred, gossip, pride, betrayal - anything, any thing of the flesh must be repented of (turned away from, a change of mind and heart) and purged. Die to self – a clean vessel, waiting for the glory of our King to fill us.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy:

Without natural affection, covenant breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good; Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. [2Tim 3:1-5]

Ancient Paths
Thus says the Lord, Stand you in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it, and you shall find rest for your souls.  But they said, We will not walk in it.  [Jer 6:16]

It really has come down to the brass tacks. We are told to return to the ancient path. This day had to come on a global scale because it is written in the Holy Scriptures. People are waiting for revival when all around there is evidence of increased apostasy, reprobates and a great falling away.

Many are turning to other religions, being tired of the false doctrines, false teachers, hypocrisy, compromise and greed being found in alarming proportions in too many of today’s churches and leaders. 

Some people who are falling away cannot even see that they are falling away. They still confess to be in the faith - they are blinded and deceived by their own sins that they refuse to let go of. They cling to the life that they love and refuse to lay it all down.

There are many believers that are not only following after their own lusts, compromising with the world, but they are following the counsel of ungodly and sinful people. If this is you, please turn your eyes back to Jesus, repent and allow Him to purge you so that you may be part of the Bride, His army and a vessel unto honor in these last days.

Why would anyone jeopardize their walk with God by living in lies, deception and the ways of the world? This life is temporal. Everyone has hardships in this life, but those who love their sin (pleasures of the flesh) more than they love God will die in their own foolishness, having hardened their necks and hearts in rebelling against a holy God.

They refuse to let go of their life and trust God, who gave them a chance at life to begin with. Revival always begins in us individually. The Lord will have a pure Bride. In His great mercy, He is giving all of us yet another chance to be holy, to be that pure Bride, a peculiar people, a chosen generation - holy (set apart) unto the Lord.

Yes, there is something different about the trials and the circumstances that people are going through these days. It is like a pressing down, a shaking, a stretching, a pressure felt as never before. Multitudes are going through various situations, but the consensus seems to be the same - it is like nothing they have experienced before.

This is the common thread and the common statement. All believers can attest to the fact that there is an intensity and depth to the trials and tribulations happening. There is a testing of our faith that is beyond what we could have imagined and like nothing we have experienced before - although many of us would say that we had been completely broken before, completely undone.

The Lord has been teaching us to trust Him and to obey His leading. He has been teaching us about humility and walking in His love. It is true that all these things typically begin to happen as soon as we choose to make Jesus the King and Lord of our lives.

Sifted as Wheat
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brethren.  [Lk 22:31-33]

When we first believe, Satan immediately tries to shake up our belief and bring us back to the dark side. However, what is going on at this time truly is different. Not only has it affected me, but countless others are reporting a purging, a shakeup, a cleansing - even a testing like never before.

It has been going on (as far as I personally know) for some years now, a ripple effect throughout the Body of believers. Yes, as stated, we have all been through hard things before, but there seems to be a difference now. There is an urgency God’s people are sensing and understanding.

It does not seem to matter the age, gender, race, position in society, class bracket, denomination, nothing - there is a searching of the heart and a trying of the reins going on by our holy Creator.

It is happening in waves also, meaning that not everyone is experiencing these trials at the same time, although several are going through trials at the same time.  We are told to resist Satan and to remember that our brethren all over the world are suffering the same afflictions.  [1Pet 5:9]

There are those who were confident that there was nothing standing between them and the Lord (not experiencing anything heavy) who have suddenly found themselves in the most trying challenges, situations, circumstances, and often when they felt the most secure. The faith of multitudes is being stretched almost beyond what they can bear.

Run with Endurance
Many, including myself, have cried out to God, wondering if we will make have faith to endure to the end. In the mid-summer of 2014, I awoke with three words on my mind: test of endurance.

I spoke about it on the radio and wrote about it. Nothing happened right away, so after a time, it was filed away somewhere in my mind.  I had also changed the name of the radio program to “warriors of endurance”.  Little did I understand, or perhaps fully realize that endurance is produced from suffering.

And not only so, but we glory in tribulation (suffering), knowing that tribulation works patience (endurance); and patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope makes not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us[Rom 5:3-5]

Yet, it did not seem too long before people would write or call, mentioning the 'test of endurance' and how they felt like it was upon them. Then, it hit home for me, particularly in the past year (2015-present, August 2016).

Battles, temptations, heartache and heavy trials have come upon so many disciples of Christ that it simply cannot be ignored. Health, finances, job security, home security, ministries, accidents, natural calamities, war, death, personal relationships, a trying of our faith, trust, obedience and patience – you name it, multitudes have suffered or are suffering in one or more of these areas.

Witchcraft and the attacks of Satan and his cohorts against the true and dedicated believers have also increased. There were those who said nothing was happening to them, and then suddenly, something hit. Be on guard.

Pray to God to find out if what is happening is from the enemy, circumstances of flesh and/or sin or something the Lord has allowed for His good reasons. He will let us know when He chooses to. We learn of His love, grace and mercy and learn to pursue holiness and walk in love and humility.

Whether people want to believe it or not, there is substantial evidence that various governments, their agencies and the military-industrial complex have been experimenting with EMF (Electro-Magnetic Frequency), ELF (Extremely Low Frequency), GWEN (Ground Wave Emergency Network), HAARP (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program) for the purposes of behavioral and mind control of the masses, along with RMCT (Remote Mind Control Technology) weapons  (now called neuroweapons/neuroscience), as well as chemtrails.

I will post a couple of links that reveal this has been going on for decades. Take all things to the Lord. He does not want us operating under a spirit of fear, but He has been revealing things to His people in these last days.


We can deny these things as conspiratorial, as many do, but there is also real evidence that these things have been implemented and experimented with for a longer time than we could imagine.

It is my firm belief that the Lord is purging His people in a way as never before because of the time we are in. We all read about the last days and have heard (since the time of the apostles) that these are the last days. Many mock and say, "Yeah, yeah, our grandparents and their grandparents all expected Jesus' return! Where is He?"

People laugh (false prophets, teachers and doctrines have all helped with the ridicule). And saying, Where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. [2 Pet 3:4]

Yet, never before have prophecies been coming true at such a pace as they are now. Never before has mankind had the means and the ability to destroy itself, its people and the earth as is possible now.

We need the return of the Lord; the earth and all of creation are groaning and travailing. It is my belief that everything that can be shaken is being shaken - the Lord will have a pure and holy people.  Woe to those though that will experience God’s wrath in the days spoken of in His Word. [Isa 13, 19 and 24; Zeph 1; Ezekiel 30, Joel 3; Amos 5; Rev 6]

From the signs in the heavens to the signs upon this earth, we have entered into a time like never before. Natural calamities and violence are increasing and becoming more frequent, as the birth pangs of a woman in travail.

Believers are facing choices as never before - obedience versus disobedience, trust versus rebellion, truth versus deception, life versus death, spirit versus flesh.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for My sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? [Mk 8:35, 36]

Comfort zones have had their boundaries lifted and invaded; distractions and temptations have increased; persecution, violence and crime increases; relationships are under attack; areas of weakness are being exposed; and the list goes on.

Where people stand in their character, their heart and their faith is being revealed through various circumstances and truly we begin to understand why Jesus/Y'shua asked if He would find faith when He returns.

Those by the wayside are they that hear; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.  
[Lk 8:13, 14]

Yes indeed, the Lord will allow things to test our obedience. He will put us in positions to test us, to see where our heart is, to see where we truly stand with God. The hardest thing God makes us face is ourselves. He will search our hearts and make us look at that which is deep within.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit. He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. [Jn 12:24, 25]

Big “I” Generation
We live in a world where it is all about 'I' (self) and the mindset or brainwashing compels people to focus on 'self' and what 'self' wants, its desires and needs. I-pod, I-pad, I-phone, I-paws and many other “I” products have been introduced to the world.

It is the final generation, where self and people are exalted, rather than God.  There is a love for the creature more than the Creator. Many walk in lies and deception, but swear they speak only truth.

Many long for the lusts that satisfy the flesh, but claim to they belong to Jesus, but are not “perfect” and that God “knows the heart”. Sin is justified and excused; evil has become good and good has become evil.  There are those who offer up lip service, but their hearts (mind and actions) are far from God.

Faith will be tested for its genuineness. If you really love the Lord, then you must take your stand.  We cannot be lukewarm. We may be able to fool others, but we cannot fool God. He sees all and He despises deception in any way, shape or form. He will bring justice, and He will cause people to reap what they have sown.
There are believers who want to be the remnant without any cost. Some think that because they have been through some hardships in life that they are the remnant - however, even unbelievers go through hardships throughout life.

There is rarely anyone anymore who has not gone through something traumatic or difficult in this fallen and heavily corrupted world, although it is true that some go through much more than others do. We are at the end of ages and the return of Jesus the Messiah is fast approaching.

Let these trials come and purge the dross out because that is how silver is refined and how gold is purified. We give up our name and take the name of Jesus/Y'shua. We die to self, so that the King rules upon the throne of our hearts.

We have to be seekers of truth, yes, but lovers of truth will be doers of the word. We cannot manipulate God, nor can we trick Him into taking sides. He is Faithful and True; a holy God of justice and judgment. Stand back and wait upon the Lord.

I urge you not to compromise with sin; not to allow your flesh to overrule your spirit; not to strive so hard to be accepted by the ungodly, the world or false brethren.  Brokenness brings the Lord close, for He is close to those with a broken and contrite spirit [Ps 34:18]

Do not tempt God or force the Lord to shut the gate on you, pass you over. People say that is not possible; Jesus will not pass us over. Yes, it is written that if we continue in sin (workers of iniquity), He will shut the gate on us.

Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and has shut to the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and He shall answer and say unto you, I know you not who you are:

Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in Your presence, and You have taught in our streets. But He shall say, I tell you, I know you not who you are; depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity. [Lk:24-27]

We have to be serious and overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony, and echo the brave words of our Saviour: “…not my will, but Thy will Father!

Resist Temptation


We have to choose to let go of sin. We cannot say we love truth, but refuse to let go of sin [Rom 1:18]. We have to let go of gossip, unforgiveness, worldly ways, uncleanness, offenses, lusts, pride - all!



Jesus stood up against the religious system. In His love, God cautions us to not continue in sin (thought, word or deed). [1Jn 2:1] There is no secret sin with God.  He sees and knows all. You cannot justify what you know is wrong. David with Bathsheba is an example of the dangers of secret sin.

God's promises are dependent upon obedience, all throughout the Bible. In Numbers 14: 18-23, we see where the Israelites saw many miracles, but they would not see the Promised Land because of fear, unbelief and rebellion (idolatry, the golden calf was only was only one of their sins).

God will bring judgment, if the person He made a covenant with refuses to obey, repent or discontinue sin. With righteous anger, the Lord spoke to the Israelites:

After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know My breach of promise. I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against Me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. [Num 14:34, 35]

People can be double-minded, saying that was before Jesus, while at the same time state that it is written that the Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever. The Word of God speaks about having the conscience seared [2Cor 3:3] (a hardened heart).

We are warned about apostasy (turn or abandon gospel truths, loss of faith), and about sinful and worldly ways (moral insensitivity, doctrinal deception, refusal to depart from sin, compromise with the world).

In His mercy, grace and love, God allows further testing so that we can see where we are in the faith and what is deep within our heart.  We are either serious or we are not. We can cling to this life, enjoying all the sinful pleasures that we can, but we will soon see how frivolous and temporal the satisfaction is, and just how shallow and short-lived the pleasure of sin is.

We can refuse to obey, take the Lord for granted and face the consequences or we can let go and choose to trust Him! Don't take God's presence for granted - don't make Him pass you over like He did Saul and choose another, as when He chose David.


The pleasure that people get out of sin drives them and if they do not overcome or lay it down, they become workers of iniquity, whilst still professing to be believers. Besetting sin must be overcome. We are not helpless or forsaken. We have Jesus Christ and are more than conquerors through Him.  He will intervene when we cry out for His help.

Yes, it is a war and we are called to fight. Yes, there is a cost, but the Lord is worthy. Eternity, eternity - this life is so temporal. If the Lord took everything from us and we knew no struggle, we would not know what it is to overcome.

Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, [2Tim 1:9]

Do we fear God? Do we love Him? Do not listen to the lies of the enemy! He is inundating many with fiery thoughts of various temptations in the mind. He speaks in the first person, so you think it is your own thoughts; cast down all vain imaginations that are not of God [2Cor10:5]

Our Flesh Wants its Way


Esau crossed the line, selling his inheritance for temporary gain, to satisfy his flesh. Put off the old man with all of its desires, lusts, pride, sins - put on the new man. Those who have secret sin will fall under the power of Satan. Forgive and let the God of justice take care of it all. God is listening; He is watching. Trust Him and leave all in His hands.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Those who fear God hate evil. He is the glory and the lifter of our heads. By our God (when we walk in obedience), we will run through a troop and scale over a wall.

God may use the wicked, the unrighteous to bring us to our cross. But after we have taken up our cross to die to self, then justice will be served and judgment will be upon those who did you wrong in bringing you to your cross.

There was a popular saying about the word FEAR and its acronym - False Evidence Appearing Real = FEAR. It is true. Greater is He who is in us than he that is in the world. We have to lay down our lives. Give your anxieties, cares and struggles over to God.  

Arise Warrior


For a just man falls seven times and rises up again, but the wicked fall into mischief.  [Prov 24:16]

We can all fall, but we have to arise again, and again. The danger comes when people excuse their sin. There is still a small window of time to repent, but tribulation is coming - tomorrow is promised to no one.

All the masks are being removed. The Lord is searching the hearts and trying the reins. Our opinions, our ministries, our sermons, our strengths, our relationships - nothing means anything without Jesus. We will fully understand that on the day we all bow our knees and confess that Jesus Christ (Y'shua) is King of kings and Lord of lords. No flesh shall glory in His presence.

The Lord is looking for those who are willing to BE the message, to be crucified with Christ - carrying the flames of fire of the Holy Spirit. First we are consumed in the purifying fire.  He desires to reveal His glory to others through His Bride, but in order for Him to do so, we must be dead to self, empty and clean vessels.

The Lord loves us. There is a still a window of time left for purification of the Bride and that is what many of us are going through in this hour, purification.  We need to rejoice that the Lord is allowing our faith to be stretched as never before.

It hurts; it is uncomfortable, but do not panic. The Lord is bringing all that is not of Him to the surface.  If we love Him and not let go of our faith, we will obey and trust Him, not allowing anything to stand between us and our King. It is so close – can you not sense the urgency of the Lord to come into alignment with His will?

Yes, we will weep and mourn as this flesh dies, but keep in mind that weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning. The heat of the furnace may get turned up seven time hotter, but Jesus walks with us through it all.

The peace that passes all understanding will come when we lay down our lives and trust fully in the Lord. Pride must be exchanged for humility.  Do not give into the temptation to take matters into your own hands, especially if it seems that God is not working fast enough and His promises are slow in coming.

Satan still beguiles us - "Has God said?" He is a liar and the father of lies. Hold fast to the Lord and trust Him as you lay it all down. Let fear and unbelief go. We have need of patience; we must enter into the rest. The Lord is preparing a humble people, a holy and peculiar people who are wholly surrendered to Him and obedient to His leading.

Do Not be Impatient - Wait


Don't be like Saul and buckle under pressure. He was told to wait seven days for Samuel, but the Lord delayed Samuel's arrival to test the heart of Saul. He did not trust the Lord when he saw Samuel was delayed.

Fear entered Saul and he failed. He was impatient and fearful.  He had not learned to wait upon the Lord or to trust Him. He allowed anxiety and discouragement to control him and his fear caused him to disobey God’s commandment when Samuel did not arrive at the time he said he would.  [1Sam 13:7, 8]

Be patient and wait upon the Lord, fully confident that when He has finished purging, cleansing and purifying us, we will be vessels unto honor. His promises, which some of us have believed and waited for, for years, will arrive. If we are tried by having to wait, then let us wait with trust in God.

For many of us, sin, fear, unbelief or other hindrances may stand in the way.  Others (and in fact, all of us), have to learn to wait upon the Lord. Faith will be stretched and tried. The Lord has ways to teach us to endure to the end.

God is chastening many; having revealed deeper impurities.  We must repent and be done with it, for the glory of God. Wait upon the Lord and do not let flesh or the enemy win - this is a test. It is a test of endurance.

A Message


This is a time of intense spiritual warfare - be on guard against spiritual double agents, wolves in sheep's clothing and false brethren that will betray. Temptations will appear as something from Me, but it will not be. Remember how Satan offered My Son all things in the desert wilderness; the adversary can only offer things pleasing to the flesh - lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life.

Cover yourself in a canope of love and offer up praise and thanksgiving, worshipping Me in spirit and in truth. Keep on the full armor that is provided and stand in the gap. Rise up and stand.

I gave you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, not to pick them up and play with them. Now is not the time to weary. Now is not the time to doubt, fear or follow after the lusts of the flesh and pride.

Come away from the entanglements of the world and allow Me to prepare you as a vessel unto honor - or hold fast to your life and be prepared for a vessel unto dishonor. My people are urgently alert in the spirit. I AM preparing the inside of the vessels. This purging is necessary - it is a good work.



Wait upon Me, be strong and of good courage. Again I say to those who are going through the brokenness, the purging and cleansing, I say, wait patiently and trust Me. I call upon you to become warriors of endurance and not casualties of despair.



I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. [Ps 27:13, 14]

for His glory alone
