Copy That-Part 1

 

Truth Will Always Be Opposed 

If it was back in the days of my youth, a tall, narrow garbage can would be filled to the brim with crumpled papers that spilled over, creating a mess upon the floor.  However, being the twenty-first century, the lettering on the ‘Delete’ and ‘Backspace’ buttons are worn off instead.

Some topics take much thought. It is a given that in this world of billions of one-of-a-kind souls, there will always be those who stand opposed to us. There will always be people who disagree, or worse. Jesus faced opposition consistently, and we have nowhere near His wisdom or quality of character.

In fact, He forewarned us that if they hated and persecuted Him, we can expect the same. The servant is no better than the master, nor is the messenger greater than the one who sent him. [Jn 13:16] Messiah’s (Christ’s) deep insightful, penetrating wisdom, and His ability to understand all perspectives is uncannily unique and absolutely matchless.

He spoke (and speaks) only truth because He is truth, and yet…He was still accused of being a liar and a blasphemer. We can expect no less. Yet, we cannot allow the opinions of people, or any comments they make to define us, or to keep us from doing the right thing.

When Truth and Deception Collide, Confusion Becomes a Whirlwind

A little over two years ago, a close and dear friend, and sister in Christ Jesus, wanted to encourage me regarding a message that I had posted in an article. She believed the Lord was giving confirmation through another person and directed me to a YouTube link.

I had never heard of the person before, but at that time, I was spending little time checking out videos of those who were called prophets. Howbeit, in the thirteen or so years that I have known her, my beloved friend rarely sent me links to such people, so I decided to check it out.

After listening to the woman that my friend believed was confirming my message, I contacted my friend to let her know that I had listened to the person’s message. I thanked her for her thoughtfulness, but I had to let her know that something did not sit right and that I sensed that something was ‘off’.

Naturally, my friend wondered what it was, but I indicated that I could not discern exactly what it was at the time. There was truth in what the woman had spoken, yet at the same time, there seemed to be falsehood as well.

Confusion swirled – something seemed… wrong. I told my friend I would get back to her about it, but felt I had to seek God in prayer; I needed His wisdom and insight. It is written that God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [1Cor 14:33]

For several days the video troubled me, but I continued to press in to the Lord. I did not want to speculate.  I felt led to check out more of her material, and suddenly it struck me. It all began to become apparent, as things unraveled and fell into place.

Getting Down to the Nitty Gritty

Let us get right to it now. The topic is plagiarism, false prophets, false teachers, who speak against deception as they go about deceiving the masses because thousands follow them. It is wrong, especially if they glean truth from the Bible and from other Christians who post truth online.

Jesus called false prophets, false teachers, wolves in sheep’s clothing. They appear as gentle sheep, but inside they are ravenous wolves. [Mat 7:15] In the 90s, I was lent a VHS tape (yes, dinosaur technology lol) where the preacher (Kent Horvind) said something I never forgot.

I had questions about Christianity (was after I temporarily lost children, which the Lord allowed, knowing it would turn me toward Him...having nowhere else to turn), so a friend lent me one of their tapes.

Ken Horvind was speaking about those who taught false doctrines, and said that it was akin to rat poison -- 98% good food and 2% poison. And that it is the 2% that kills. That is how false teachers and false prophets present their deception...all wrapped up in good, trustworthy covering, but hidden within is that which destroys. (Satan comes to steal, and to kill, and to destroy -- but Jesus comes to give life, and that, abundantly) [Jn 10:10]

The Lord does not take kindly to it [plagiarism, which is theft or 'stealing'].

Is not My Word like as a fire? Says the Lord; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? Therefore, behold, I AM against the prophets, says the Lord, that steal My words everyone from his neighbour. Behold, I AM against the prophets, says the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. [Jer 23:29-31]

There is no gentle way to introduce deception. And to purposely deceive others is sin. There are people who are deceived and do not know it. It will only be when they come out of deception that they will realize that they had been horribly hoodwinked.

I know because I have been there, having been deceived for years in one area. It happened because I was the fool who willfully chose creation – a man - over the Creator. Blind fool. I became spiritually blind the day that choice was made, but Jesus still gave me room to repent. 

It took years, but the weight eventually crushed me to the point that I finally, and desperately, cried out with godly sorrow, genuinely repenting of not only my foolishness and shameful conduct, but the putrid evil of sin and the stench of rotting unrighteousness.

And despite what some pastors think, I do NOT have to tell them I repented, especially when:

 (1) they are not my pastor

 (2) they do not know me

 (3) I did no wrong to them but they judged me from what the grapevine told them, or something I said or did they did not like, which may or may not have been sin (I cannot say because of random memory issues (no pattern or consistency) from head trauma throughout my lifetime.

 It is written, Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. [Mat 5:9]

Sometimes when we obey the Word of the Lord, the result turns out unsatisfactorily, as well as disappointingly. We can only do our part. If a person chooses to remain bitter, or unforgiving, it is best to pray again to the Lord, offering forgiveness on your part despite the result.

We cannot force forgiveness or acceptance. Even our Creator does not force such.

Both parties will stand before an unbiased, just God, who judges righteous judgment. Leave it in His capable hands, even if you do not see results until you leave this earth, and stand before a holy God on judgment day...until that day, walk in the peace that surpasses all understanding that Christ gives, if you have done all you know to do. 

Our genuine repentance (and that does not simply mean a vain attempt at appearing humble by confessing some quick apology, saying some insincere prayer that sweeps sin under the rug (out of sight; out of mind): "I'm sorry, I made a mistake; forgive me." That is not repentance; it is more like remorse, which is all Judas felt - which is not repentance.

Rather, it means we must come to a place of complete and utter brokenness in spirit, coupled with a contrite heart) -- so therefore, our genuine repentance is between us and God (Jesus [Yeshua] the Christ [Messiah], Saviour and Redeemer)

We can give glory to Adonai [YHWH] for molding us into His Son's image, Jesus the Messiah. Because of the Lord, we are not even the same as we were a year ago, let alone, eight, nine or ten years ago.

It is written that we (true followers/disciples of Jesus) are known by our fruit, and our love for one another (Jesus gave 2 commandments: 

[1] love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and being 

[2] love your neighbour as yourself. 

It is understood that if we rightfully carry out those two, we will wholly carry out (cover) all the commandments successfully. Glory to God most high!

God’s Word is true; God cannot lie.

It is written that El Shaddai [Almighty God, YHWH] is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Sins have consequences. It is written that "we reap what we sow." The 'world' paraphrased that with the words, "What goes around, comes around." Neither the world, the devil, or the flesh (mankind) can change God's universal laws.

Yes, there are laws in place, even spiritual laws. Only Satan is lawless; the Sovereign living God is a God of order, and all He does is done decently.

When I made my sinful choice in my late 20s, choosing to love creation [a person] over the Creator, I shamefully had no fear of God at that time. I was rebellious, which Adonai compares to witchcraft. Also, to my shame was the fact that my choice made me an idolater, full of the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life.

God convicts, which leads to godly sorrow and repentance, and further leads to forgiveness, freedom, and peace. Satan condemns, which leads to shame and guilt, which further leads to heavy burdens, captivity, and torment.

By the end of my teens, I had most likely broken every commandment, worthy of being stoned to death, IF we were still under the old covenant, but definitely worthy of hellfire under the new blood covenant. I was wholly sinful, and deserving of damnation and the lake of fire, which is hell and permanent separation form God. It is called the second death.

 But Jesus…

I have testified of my sinful ways mostly in days gone by (and yes, to my chagrin, even sins I committed after I became a Christian, in the first eight years of my walk - but truly now hate sin). 

Praise God who sees something in us when no one else can, and grants us grace and mercy. Praise Jesus, who leaves the 99 RIGHTEOUS, to go after the one who has gone astray and is on the path of destruction.

As we grow and mature, the Holy Spirit continues to give us more light and understanding of even some of our own past ways, which helps make us stronger in resisting temptation. The Lord is good, and His mercy endures forever.

God cannot lie; His Word is true. He gives us all room to repent; the Holy Spirit woos us with a spirit of repentance, but He will not force us to receive it. Yet, He is close to a broken and contrite heart [Ps 51:17] 

He is close to a humbled soul, filled with godly sorrow for their sinfulness, desperate for the burdensome weight of those sins to be removed by the merciful and gracious Saviour.  Our flesh is immediately humbled in the presence of His holiness and purity.  

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. [2Pet 3:9]

Sadly, not everyone will come to repentance. In fact, multitudes will become apostate, reprobate, when the trials of life become more than what they think they can bare. Hold fast to your faith; stay close to Jesus/Yeshua. Be on guard, search your heart.

Woe to those who will not receive the truth of the gospel of Christ and who deny the Godhead; who deny truth; who deny Jesus, and the gospel of the good news about him.

Even Him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. [2Thess 2:9-12]

The Harsh Reality

The false prophets and false teachers make me sick in my spirit. I grieve deeply in my spirit, knowing firsthand the horrors of being separated from the loving God, our holy Creator. Just as Jesus forewarned, in these last days, an alarming number of false brethren, false prophets, false preachers, false Christs are rising. They are appearing as quickly as cockroach coming out of the woodwork.

But what is even more astounding are those who call themselves loyal followers, disciples of Jesus/Yeshua, but who faithfully follow the false prophets, accepting false doctrines, with no fear of the Lord or any kind of discernment.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lust shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. [2Tim4:3,4]

Even more staggering is the fact that these false prophets have hundreds of thousands of loyal followers who have made these false ones millionaires, and some even billionaires. Their admirers/followers have only good things to say about them, and will defend them instantaneously if anyone even hints at them being false.

Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. [Lk6:26]

The Brave and True

The following disciples of Jesus /Yeshua set themselves out front as examples. They stood their ground, remained obedient to the Word of God. Exposing false apostles, false prophets, false teachers shows great love because it may open the eyes of the false, so that they can see, thus giving them a chance to come up out of deception, repent, and be wholly delivered, saved, and healed.

I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety-nine (99) just persons, which need no repentance. [Lk 15:7]

In alphabetical order (no favoritism – I do not know any of these people personally, nor have I had any conversations with them. The good shepherds are:

• drewbloom34

• Voddie Braucham

• John MacArthur

• Jan Markell *and certain ones she interviews* 

• Justin Peters

• Andrew Strom

• David Wilkerson

Lately, desiring to do the right thing but unsure of what the right thing to do was, I began listening more to others who love Jesus and are adamant about the truth of the gospel and doctrine, and not compromising it.

I listened to all of them on YouTube, with the exception of one or two videos found on Rumble. The Lord answers the prayers and leads people who genuinely want the truth of His Word, and not some convoluted or deceptive version.

A salute and a heart-felt thank you for caring for your brethren, fellow sheep, and for glorifying the Lord through obedience to His Word. May the Lord bless all of you and your loved ones in the ways that you all individually have need of.

The plagiarists I speak of are first and foremost:

• Julie Green (she is the main person who has gleaned consistently from me over the for over two years, and scoured heavily throughout the entire archives). Since she did not spend the time with the Lord, her understanding of things is completely and utterly warped and lacking, which caused her to mislead her audience of viewers even further.

Julie Green doublespeaks often. She claims to be nondenominational, yet is clearly a Word of Faith preacher (yes, she is a pastor, which makes her even more accountable).

Word of Faith (WoF, which I call WOlF doctrine, also known as (aka)Prosperity, a false doctrine. She often borders on the NAR, which is another false doctrine

•  Amanda Grace (I have found examples of copying, but have not taken a lot of time on her videos, as I have only became aware of her within the past year. This is very involved, time-consuming work. With my health, and not having a team, it takes time, but my motives and intents are honourable before the Lord. Every soul deserves opportunity to turn from sin, and all of us have needed a second chance at some point or other.  

But a great falling away has begun, and it shall continue, just as Jesus foretold. However, Amanda Grace has several failed prophecies. She has also appeared on several video shows with Julie Green, as well as at the same events and conferences around the United States. The two know each other, along with Emanuel Johnson.) 

• Troy Black has honoured Amanda Grace in a video – apparently what God told him about her. I did not watch the video. Where does the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob choose to tell someone to broadcast to the public about how special a certain individual is and to listen to them. We are to share the gospel and tell people about Jesus, but are we now to start telling people about individuals, and if so, why? How does it point people to Jesus? How does it glorify God?

As far as Troy is concerned, it is more likely that any plagiarism is more from copying or mimicking one of his two fellow 'prophets', either Amanda or Julie [unaware of plagiarism on the part of either].  Birds of a feather flock together.

Over the past couple of years, much prayer has gone up regarding Julie Green and for her. She is the one that my friend innocently made me aware of, when she wanted to ‘confirm’ one of my articles. My friend stood with me in prayer, as I wanted a witness, as well as someone to agree with me in praying for Julie. It was at a time that I was struggling with flesh. We prayed for Julie in the not-so-distant past.

It is my hope that these people stop making merchandise of believers, that they would genuinely repent, and stop with false prophecies. The Bible says not to despise prophesying, which I do not. The prophet Joel spoke of God pouring out His [holy] Spirit upon [people], and 'sons' and 'daughters' would prophesy; old men would dream dreams and young men would have visions. I take the Word of God literally (differentiating between parables, metaphors, and the like), and that it is for us today.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Time is running out, and the return of Jesus Christ is imminent. We need to stand on the Rock, stand for truth (no compromise), stand for Israel, watch, pray, occupy - and wait upon the Lord.

To be continued within days...

Please note that changes in my medicine from Tylenol #4 to morphine has slowed me down some. This is mentioned so that my slowness in posting is for valid reason, not mentioned for sympathy or any other such reason. Due to swelling, I cannot stand long, or sit long. Neuropathy hinders me, but I rejoice at the grace and mercy the Lord grants us in our time of need. So great is His love for His creation...

My situation is mentioned merely to validate my slowness - but remember, my friends, the turtle won the race with the rabbit - despite the critics, and despite the pride of the rabbit! :)

God's Clock is Not Broken

Message from King of kings to His Beloved

[Note* - For those new to the Bible or my writing ways, all emphasis in scripture (underscore, highlight, capitalization etc.) more often than not is this author’s. – BP2021])

Yahweh's Clock is Not Broken

My clock is not broken, though many think it is, or that I have thrown the clock away. buried it in the [proverbial] sand. Yea, but I have not forgotten My promises. 

Patience is hard learned, yet all My people must learn this. Many shall yet be saved because of My longsuffering, so yes, I know how long the waiting can be.

Hope that is seen is not hope, for if hope is seen what do you yet hope for? [Rom 8:24] If there is nothing to hope for, there is nothing to wait for. How tragic would that be? My child, when you hope for that which you cannot see, then do, with patience, wait for it. [vs 25]

For I AM with you, every step of the way, whether those steps we take together are silent ones or not.  I carry you more times than you will ever realize in this life.

You have not failed unless you give up; yet I say, “Rise up!” Continue on in hope, for you will yet conquer.

If you need to rest, then rest in Me, yet I say, strong warrior, you shall arise again…for it is I who strengthens you and pulls you to your feet.

Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his RESTING place: For a just man falls seven times, and RISES UP again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. [Prov 24:15, 16]

Yet remember, child of Mine, your heart will be tried. Do not rejoice when your enemy falls and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles. [vs 17] I will see it and it shall displease Me, and I will turn away My wrath from him.

Forgive – always I exhort My people to forgive those who have come against you and have done you wrong. Keep a repentant heart, for the flesh has a tendency to disappoint even My most faithful ones. You do well to remember that when you forgive others their offenses and shortcomings, I forgive you yours.

When you show mercy, you will know mercy, for to those who show mercy, I AM merciful. [Mat 5:7] Yet remember, as I told Moses, I remind you that I will show mercy to whomsoever I choose to have mercy upon, and I will show compassion on whomsoever I will have compassion. [Rom 9:15]

If you will follow My instructions [daily], and stay close to Me, seeking Me always, seeking My counsel, you will come out victoriously. HOLD FAST to your FAITH, for without faith it is impossible to please Me. [Heb 11:6]

From the beginning, I have always instructed and urged My people to fear not. Repeatedly, I have told you this also. At times, you fear that which you cannot change and fear that which you can. Do not give up on what you believe; or on that which I have shown you personally after prayer.

If you believe that what you have prayed is not self-deception or that of the enemy, and your heart sincerely seeks truth at all costs, then know My child that I will not allow you to be deceived, but will reveal truth to you. You will know My will when you seek that time with Me to know earnestly My will.

My love for you is deep and genuine; it is not as any earthly love. I know the frailties of the flesh. I instruct, yet I will not ignore rebellion or refusal to accept truth. I AM indeed patient, and I know the way to every heart, yet I will not force one to choose truth, nor will I contend forever.

OBEDIENCE

Again, do not give up on what you believe, yet each day, one day at a time, after time with Me, follow My instructions…that which is written in My Word and that which I place deep within your spirit.

You have seen it written:

Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered; [Heb 5:8]

How much more so for My people? How much more so for you? I reveal things in My time, and this is surely the time of revealing. Yet what I reveal will at times require patience, for I do things My way, and in My timing, for only I see all. This requires patience on your part.

Let Unbelief Go – Surrender to My Will

Forget the past. It cannot be changed, but do not let it continually condemn you, for I am not one who accuses once one has repented and been forgiven. There is an accuser and an adversary – Satan – it is he who condemns and brings back haunting memories. Rebuke him. Filter all things through the precious blood of My Son, Yeshua (Jesus).

Abraham did not consider the age, the oldness, of his body or the deadness of Sarah’s womb. [Rom 4:19] He staggered not at the promise I gave him through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving the glory to Me. [vs 20]

You too must quench unbelief. As time passes and prayer seems unanswered, people begin to fall into unbelief. If a loved one passes on, the tendency to anger at Me, and the temptation to walk away from faith is a sad reality.

Even though Abraham grieved when Sarah passed, he did not fall into unbelief. He knew his beloved Sarah was with me, and he rejoiced in the time, the years, that they had spent together. His heart was grateful, not embittered. I am with those who grieve, whether they sense it, know it, or not.

How many times does a parent withhold something from a child or take it away for reasons not understood? In this life there will be disappointments and heartache, and I will not always give an answer. Many have learned that “why” is rarely satisfied. This is where trust comes in.

Yet if you fall into unbelief, acknowledge it and confess this sin, I am faithful in hearing, forgiving and healing. I know all the times you have been through and how many times and how long you walked alone, with few understanding you at times, yet I have remained with you. I AM He that sees the heart.

I AM with you now, living on the inside of you – the fullness of the Godhead, for the day you repented and desired Yeshua, My Son, to be Lord and Saviour of your life, and prayed for My Spirit to come, it was so.

For if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him? [Lk 11:13]

Just know that all is in My hands. Surrender to My will and rest in My love. Rise up yet again and be not discouraged in the wait. Trust, and continue going forward. As you obey My Word and My instructions, you will walk into the promises I gave you. Ah, but do not cast away your confidence in Me, for you shall yet see a great recompense of reward. [Heb 10:35]

For dear one, you have need of patience…after you have done My will, you might receive the promise. [v 36] Do not draw back in your faith. [v 38] Walk by faith and not by sight. [2Cor5:7] I continue to remind My people, for great is My love and My understanding. [Rom 8:39]

And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed SINGERS unto the Lord; and that should praise the BEAUTY of HOLINESS: they went out before the army and to say, Praise the Lord; for His MERCY endures forever. [2Chron 20:21]

  (Note* - chapter and verse = 2021 – coincidence? Precious Spirit of the living God, thank You for Your love for us. Let us SING of His goodness – BP2021)

Clock is Not Broken

Do you not know that the unity I speak of does not mean compromising with those who call themselves by My name, yet do that which the world desires? There are many throughout denominations who you will never find unity with, as long as you stay in My Word and do not be swayed by smooth talk.

The unity I speak of must be those who are obedient to My Word; who will stand by the truth of it and not try to change it to “match the times” and be “user-friendly”. Why o why do you think they killed the prophets, the apostles and yes, even My beloved Son?

Do you think that if you stand by truth without political correctness, or without budging from what the written Word says, that you too will not be called many things, and accused of religiosity or legalism? Stand strong in My Word. Things will not get better. As it is written, you will be hated just as those who went before you were. Stand strong. Stand fast.

I know this is hard, yet I AM with you.

Do not faint in the waiting. Do not give into fear and unbelief, which opposes FAITH and TRUST. The former will lead you into rebellion (disobedience); whereas the latter will lead you into obedience. I am fully in control.

Fear stands afar off, full of hatred and cruelty, ready to torture. Though he stands afar off, he makes his efforts (temptations) to take over your life again. I made a way of escape. It is FAITH and TRUST. The dragon (Satan) does not take defeat easily, but in the end, all will see it.

I did not give you a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. [2Tim 1:7]

Worry is doubt that says that I, the Lord, will not keep My promises. Worry will tell you that My clock is broken; that the promises are buried, lost, in the sands of time. Whose voice is that? Remember the Israelites in the wilderness…?

Despite all My miracles that they witnessed, they refused to trust My promises and fell into rebellion. As a result of their unbelief, they lost their inheritance, their promises. Do not follow in their footsteps.

Wait for the promises, our personal covenant. It will come to fruition in My timing. Wait for the appointed MOMENT. You know it is My will for you, for I have answered your repeated prayer (repeated prayer, due to fear of being deceived), but even still, you have need of patience.

I AM preparing things. Do not be discouraged in the waiting. You are learning to trust me at a deeper level and yes, it is hard, and yes, the growth hurts. But My people must be prepared for the great evil that is soon descending upon the entire world.

In silence and in My time, I AM doing My great work. I AM very close to you, watching over every detail. If you will but be still, and cast out unbelief, you will indeed hear My voice. It is not just for the chosen few. It is for all My children of obedience. My SHEEP HEAR My voice and another (stranger) they will not follow. [Jn 10:5]

I see things that happen; I see the suffering. You wonder why I do not stop the suffering, all the challenges and hardships with no seeming end in view, yet I remind you of how obedience is learned through suffering. It is for eternal purposes as well, if you will but trust Me through these times.

Patience, dear one, patience.

You are quick to accept My correction and quick to guard any words that you think may offend Me. If you see (read) in My Word, child, I cannot be offended. I AM not man; I AM the Creator of mankind. At times you think as Gideon, considering yourself “small” and the “least” …as a worm.

Well, faithful one, the “worm” is about to emerge into a beautiful new creation (metamorphosis, as it were, spiritually), a TIME when all seems DEAD, as if the clock is broken. But instead, change is happening.

Not long, not long, not long, and you will rejoice…fully walking in our covenant. You have not believed a lie, but you have had to learn. You have had to learn about genuine repentance, about what the sacrifice of My Son upon that cross, spilling His precious blood, fully entailed.

You had to learn (and continue to learn) the importance of surrendering to Me and walking in obedience. These are hard lessons for My people to learn. The cross was not for nothing, for there lies the victory.

Purged, purified, cleansed, pruned, fallow ground broken up, rocks removed, bitter roots torn up; unforgiveness shattered by forgiveness. Do you not remember? Do you not see? First the inside of the cup must be cleansed…then the outside will also be clean. [Mat 23:26]

Cup of Suffering

You wanted to drink from the same cup as My Son. When you realized it was a cup of suffering, you pondered it more deeply. Then, after considerable thought, you said, “Yes, Lord; I am willing.” You read the words of My Son Yeshua/Jesus when He asked, “…are you willing to drink from the same cup as I drink?” The apostles answered yes, they were willing. Like you, they did not know what all it entailed.

The hour has come. Wait for the moment. It seems eternal, like it shall never come; almost as a torment. Yes, it can be as trying as the fight of an infant struggling to leave the womb; yet it comes, just as suddenly as the exit from that womb – just as suddenly as the final breakthrough of the butterfly emerging from the cocoon that it struggled to be free from.

Rejoice…it is almost time. Yet, keep sober, watch and pray, for great evil is descending. It cannot be ignored or denied, for it shall be as it is written. I have a purpose for all My faithful, obedient ones in these approaching evil days.

Everything is falling into place. I shall have you positioned too, as others in My remnant army globally. It is not as the false ones teach; it is not to prepare the world for My return. Trust My Word and no false doctrine. Pray for those deceived.  Hold fast.

Spend time in My Word; get it down deep in your heart. Trust your God and bless the name above all names, My Son Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah.

Spend time with Me. Do not let distractions rob you of the rewards received from spending time with your Maker. Praise and worship; faith and trust and obedience. Stay disciplined in My Word, for in doing so, you will remain strong in faith.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the WORD of God. [Rom 10:17] (Faith is a shield – Ephesians 6)

Never Leave or Forsake You

God (Yahweh/Yhvh) promised that he would never leave or forsake us, and it’s true. It is us who would choose to walk away from Him and turn away from Him.

Footprints in the Sand

You promised me Lord that if I followed You,

You would walk with me always.

But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life,

There has only been one set of footprints in the sand.

Why, when I needed you the most, have You not been there for me?

And the Lord replied,

The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, My child, is when

I carried you…

This is the Way - Walk Ye in It

 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth (humility), and worshipped.  And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked (stubborn) people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Your inheritance.

And He said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which you are shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.  [Ex 34:8-10]

Thursday, March 5, 2015 – 1:44 pm (Yesterday, I pondered the time and reflected upon the book of Revelation, a book that promises a blessing to those who hear and read the words of prophecy in that book.)

(Note* - Yhvh (my God and Lord) begins with a personal (private) word to me. However, I release that which He has led me to share, for His glory alone.)

Much is happening, both in the spiritual and physical realms.  Do you hear the sound of the shofar (trumpet?) It is a warning and a call to assemble. My people are to come humbly into My presence and wait upon Me.

You have heard Me speak through many vessels, instructing you to read My Word and to abide in Me, to enter into the holy of holies with clean hands and a pure heart.  Indeed, I say to you to cleave to Me and “keep” My Word; to walk therein, for My Word is forever settled in heaven.  It is your hope (Christ in you); it upholds you. 

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to Your word.  With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from Your commandments.  Your word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.  [Ps 119:9-11]

That He (Jesus/Y’shua) might sanctify and cleanse it (ekklesia) with the washing of water by the word, That He might present it to Himself a glorious ekklesia, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.  [Eph 5:26, 27]

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?  [Heb 9:14]

My Word goes forth out of My mouth. It never returns void; it accomplishes My desire and prospers in that which I sent it to (see Isaiah 55:11).  I have prepared and am preparing My people. 

Fear not! As I forewarned, the strongest clash of the kingdoms such as never before approaches; so also do the miracles. The signs are all around for those who have eyes to see the prophecies that are fulfilled and are being fulfilled, which were given by My prophets of old.  That which was written shall be, for indeed, My Word does not return void.

I also foretold of miracles taking place.  Down through the ages, I have (and continue) to perform My miracles.  Yea, yet I say to you that miracles, the like of which have never been seen before and are unknown to this age shall happen. 

Indeed, they have already begun, but they shall increase at an exponential pace. They shall run almost parallel to great calamities (horrific events), with miracles (and reports) appearing first.

My people must be walking holy upon that highway of holiness, abiding in Me and I in them, filled with My Spirit.  My Word is engraved upon their hearts.  They stand upon it and speak it forth, for this is their greatest weapon.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.  [Prov 18:21]  

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. [Heb 4:12] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: [Eph 6:17]

I speak to you of harder truths that not all will speak forth, even though I have requested that they do, for they love the praise (approval) of men more than My praise. [Jn 12:43]  You must be holy as I AM holy [1Pet 1:16]

If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.  [1Jn 1:6-10]

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit; Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; [Titus 3:5,6]

Do not think that you cannot be deceived, for that in itself is deception.  It is written: For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. [Mk 13:23 – Jesus warns]

Be truthful in admitting that you could, at any time, be (and have been) wrong and that you do not have all-wisdom and all-knowledge.  Do not rely on yourself or others.  Know, keep and do My Word. Lean on Me alone (trust) and not your own understanding.  As you acknowledge Me, cleave to and wait upon Me, I shall direct your steps. 

And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. [Rev 13:13, 14]

And I saw three unclean spirits (devils) like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

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]

Abiding in My Son, grounded in My Word and empowered by My Holy Spirit – this, you lovers of truth, is the way to truly discern between the miracles produced by the beast and the spirits of devils (Satan and his hordes) and those miracles brought forth by My hand, My power, through My Spirit. 

I am the way, the truth and the life: no man comes to the Father but by Me. [Jn14:6 – Jesus/Y’shua]

Great shall be the deception upon the earth. It has begun.  Take heed and be doers of My Word. Obedience is also key, even if you obey with a trembling heart (as Abraham), or even when you do not understand (as Joseph, as Daniel), and even when all hell comes against you (as with Job or as with My Son Jesus (Y’shua)].

You must have faith as those who went before you, believing Me for the impossible (as Moses and the Red Sea; as Joshua and Jericho).  You must trust that I will perform that which I have promised (as Gideon and his army of three hundred; as the apostles after My Son’s ascension).

Those walking with Me shall be the instruments (vessels) through which I shall (and do) perform My miracles.

[my prayer – BP: O Lord, let us not touch Your glory, for you o LORD are our shield, our glory and the lifter of our heads. Let us remember Father that it is not our works, so that no man should glory in the miracle or say that any ‘idol’ (any one or any thing) did it, for You will not share Your glory with any ‘idol’.) 

Do not concern yourself with times and dates.  Know that I do all things well (yes, even things not understood upon this earth).  My timing is perfect.  In mankind’s eyes, there is no ‘perfect timing’ for trials or tribulations (chaos).  Nevertheless, what has been prophesied of from days of old shall be.  I am not a man that I should lie.

My people, of which there is a holy remnant are prepared and preparing for such as these walk with Me in obedience as I guide their steps.

Do not try to know every detail for man’s hunger and thirst, for knowledge began in the Garden of Eden.  Rather, cleave to Me with faith and trust fully confident that I go before you, shining light upon the right path – even step by step.

(These things shall be…) not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit…(saith the LORD of hosts).  [Zech 4:6]

Hear the sound of the trumpet (shofar) [warning]!  Take heed and wait upon Me, your King of kings and Lord of lords.  Walk in humility and love. Selah

Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. [Hos 6:3]

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God (Yhwh).  [Mat 5:8]

for His glory alone
