War in the Air-Witchcraft in the Fog_PART4

 This is a repost that goes back as far as 13 years [2012]. It is lengthy, even divided into two, which I have done with this posting. These messages were gathered over a year or so (it will say). It was NOT done in one sitting. 

Please keep that in mind.

When I post the second half of Prayer Can Change Anything Part B, links to the original will be provided. As I typed that, I realized that some of it was posted in 2012, so the links will be defunct.

Sovereign God

El Shaddai - Sovereign Creator of all things

Pray for the people in all nations of the world. Do not judge the people of a nation by their leaders, for the heart of the government is rarely the heart of the people. A remnant of My people can be found within every nation.

[New excerpt – same article, below excerpts- 2013 post (word from Feb. 2012)]

Many have been persecuted and suffered torment, even death. Many more shall be persecuted and suffer likewise, but many have been called unto this very hour to do that which I have foreordained. I AM Sovereign; none can stay My hand nor counsel Me.

None know My thoughts or My ways, except that which I reveal to whomsoever I choose. My people shall not be caught off-guard. My people shall know and understand that which is coming. They shall continue in holiness and obedience, for I abide in them and they in Me.

Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He reveals His secret unto His servants the prophets.  [Amos 3:7] 

(NOTE: I interrupt here because too many today believe only the “prophets” are hearing from the Lord and things (mysteries, revelations, secrets, knowledge) are being revealed only to them. Do not believe that lie. The scripture was written by the prophet Amos in a time when only the prophets were known to speak by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Today, because of Jesus/Yeshua the Messiah, He speaks to all who are born-again, Spirit-filled followers of Christ. Just look at all that He is revealing these days. Even unbelievers are witnessing what God is revealing. I will leave it at that for now, but please pray and seek God.

I had to add this because this was originally posted in 2012 and 2013. We are in the end times. Much is happening at exponential speed. Stay close to Jesus/Yeshua, it is crucial -- End note-BP2025Jan.]

Behold the Hour

 My judgment began some time ago, yet many are only becoming aware of it now. Persecution has begun and shall increase in countries unfamiliar with persecution in blatant measures. Behold the hour and the time you are in!   

Many in nations that are considered peaceful are beginning to see the start of persecution now, yet many other nations have constantly lived under oppression and persecution.  

The great persecution of disciples of My Son in the peaceful nations is soon to begin, yea, for great tribulation approaches for the inhabitants of the earth. There is no escaping, for I shall execute My justice and judgment. Many shall perish. 

Others shall go forth to bring in the harvest. Then shall multitudes be in the valley of decision; then shall those who flee due to great troubles, begin to mourn for their iniquity.  

But they that escape of them shall escape and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, everyone for His iniquity. [Ezek7:16] 

Many shall flee into the wildernesses. Exodus soon begins. I tell My people not to fear. Do not fear or be dismayed; neither be discouraged. Be strong.

Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid neither be you dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with you wherever you go. [Josh 1:9]

Prepare, prepare ye the way of the Lord. Look up to the skies, yet pray for discernment, for the enemy has plans of his own. He is the prince of the power of the air and he shall use the skies to show forth signs and wonders. Many shall be deceived, for they loved not the truth. I shall allow this, for My judgments that were prophesied long ago shall come to pass. It has begun. 

Judgment versus Wrath 

Do not confuse My judgment with My wrath, for My wrath shall be seen in that which is called, the day of the Lord. All people will come under My judgment, but the children of obedience shall not experience My wrath. My wrath shall wax hot, in fierceness, great indignation and righteous anger. It shall consume My enemies and sinners, children of disobedience.  

[New excerpt- same article 2013 – Sovereign is our God]

Pray for a Spirit of Repentance

My people, pray for hearts to be turned to repentance, that they will see the truth in believing in the Messiah, Jesus/Y’shua of Nazareth. Selah. Yea, for I shall draw those with a spirit of repentance to My Son. Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice and listening (hearkening) than the fat of rams. [1Sam 15:22] 
 
Watchmen, Sound the Alarm

Watchmen, speak forth. Write what I tell you upon tablets, so he who sees will run with it. Sound the alarm once again! Great waters come to destroy; heed My warnings. Listen and prepare, for when the earth is shaken and the ground opens wide its mouth, in the days soon ahead, great destruction and death shall be seen.

A great war is coming and the leaders of many countries shall hinder their people and allow great destruction. They will look out for themselves and those they care about, but not the people of the nation.

My people shall not fear. Comfort My people, love and pray for one another. Assemble yourselves, fast and pray. I shall direct your steps. You shall not walk in fear, for I AM your shield. Out of the seven churches shall come forth those who walk in My commandments obediently.  

If a man say, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
And this commandment have we from him, That he who loves God loves his brother also. 

[1Jn 4:20, 21]

[new excerpt – same article 2013]

Rise Up and Pray

Lo! A fire shall be amongst the people in the areas of My choosing. There is a great power of darkness covering the land and shall greatly increase. The shroud is prepared for America. Pray for London; woe to Britain for the sorrows coming upon her. Woe to the allies of America! Pray; come to Me in humility and prayer. Pray, for the people of all nations are in need of prayer.

Pray for North America! Woe to the nations of North America if they do not repent! I AM calling all people, including My own, to humble yourselves and repent of all that is not of Me. Keep a repentant heart and walk holy. Be obedient to My leading so that you will be out of harm's way.  

Lo! My angels shall go forth at My command. Let the doorposts and lintels of your heart be sprinkled with the Blood of the Lamb, My precious Son, your Savior! Those who weep and travail for that which is coming shall be sealed. They are Mine.

(In the original post, scriptures given: [Rev 7:3; Eze 9:5,6])

Rise up My people and pray. Yea, a shroud is over America and it shall fall. The flickering light is about to go out. A spirit of heaviness (discouragement and hopelessness) has pressed many into a hard place. The wearing down of the saints has begun, but it shall increase as the evil one arises, speaking great words against Me, as Daniel forewarned.

The Weary Ones

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. [Dan 7:25] 

There are those crying out to Me, who are losing hope and are impatient in waiting. To My people who are weary in waiting, losing hope, I say: I have not forgotten you. Why stand you there without hope? You are as My Son, for you have learned obedience by the things that you have suffered.  

Yet, as Job, you say, What is my strength, that I should hope? And what is my end, that I should prolong my life? Yet I remind you: Behold, My eye is upon them that fear Me, upon them that hope in My mercy. [Job 6:11; Ps 33:18]

(In original is also [Is 54:11; 17])

Resist not My Spirit, for I have come to gather you as a hen does her chicks, as a caring shepherd does his precious lambs and sheep. I shall strengthen the weak hands, and establish the feeble knees. 

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness (with your obedience) and put your trust in the Lord. I am He who sees the end result from the beginning. I believe in you, for I am He who knew you before you were in your mother’s womb. I formed you in your mother’s womb. Trust Me and do not listen to the negativity of flesh or the enemy.

Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

Call to Repentance and the Word

 Understand the times you are in. Understand the call to repentance; the call to holiness and the call to obedience. Stand strong in faith. I am positioning My people. Those who obey shall take the forefront to speak to the multitudes.  

This shall be the sons of God manifested; My Son shall have His Bride. The Head and the Body of Christ shall be united. This shall be My faithful and obedient ones, unashamed to walk in holiness, maturity, wholeness, completeness (perfect) and in love.

Those who mingle the precious with the vile, the clean with the unclean and the holy with the unholy shall weep, as they are brought low and are passed over.  Wood, hay and stubble is burnt up. Repent and believe.

Fear not. Babylon is full of confusion and tyranny. Come out of her, My people.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.[Rev18:4]

Wherefore come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. [2Cor6:17]

Do not give up. Focus on your Savior, Redeemer and King and read the scriptures. The light in many of the church leaders has become dim, for they seek to satisfy the world and compromise the very gospel.  

Yet even amongst the church leaders, only a remnant walks in My ways, doing My will. I have always had a remnant, from the beginning. They know the cost and lead the people in truth, far from the traditions of men and the doctrines of demons. They do not compromise with the world. They do not company with the harlot.

The majority of the true ministers are not well-known by the world, but all of My true ones are hated by the world. They have tasted of (suffered) persecution, rejection, misunderstandings, slander, ridicule, mockery, accusations and loneliness.

They lead by example and encourage the entire [true] Body to come together as one, allowing each to do their part and operate in their gifts. For this reason, they are rarely noticed, for as each part functions in unity, no one part is exalted above another part, for it flows in harmony, just as the physical body works as one unit. Pray for one another.

(NOTE*: It is understood that the Lord has made it clear, even in scripture, that not everyone who says they are "the body of Christ" are His. Pray about it; some need to repent and the Lord will forgive, if they let go of their wrongdoing, and humbly turn back to Jesus, and trust Him. Read: [Mat 7:22-23] - BP)

Yea, I shall rise up those who shall lift their sword in one hand and a torch in the other, so that those who stumble in darkness can see. Those who desire truth will hear truth. Lift high the torch (light) and the sword (Word of God spoken through you by the Spirit of truth).  

Days of My Spirit

The day is fast coming where people will be healed where they are, unlike many of the false crusades today. The enemy seeks to discredit My work, yet in My timing, I shall present those that I have been preparing and My Spirit will be seen in the land again.

Do you see the signs? You know My timing is near; the sons of God await My command and My blessing (anointing) to go forth. Selah. My Bride is making herself ready; so painful, yet necessary has been her purification.  

My people are holy (the remnant is a nation unto themselves), a people set apart, a peculiar people, a royal priesthood, who show forth praise to Me, for I called them out of darkness and into My wonderful light. [1Pet 2:9]

(NOTE*: Con't excerpts from November 2013 - Sovereign is Our God  BP)

Spiritual Darkness

The day is here when seven women (churches) will take hold of one man (they grab a hold of Y’shua/Jesus, yet it is He who chooses the true Bride). They eat the bread of deceit and they cloak themselves with robes of self-righteousness.  

The power of many leaders shall be shattered. The dragon desires to shatter the power of My people who walk the highway of holiness, but he shall not.  

Rise up and take the kingdom, for from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, but the violent shall take it by force. 

[NOTE: This is NOT as NAR or Word of Faith (WolF) teaches. The Lord is saying that His people will not fall away into apostasy. They will stand strong for the kingdom (and love not our lives unto death - Rev 12:11 - but sadly, we will see those who call themselves Christians fall away. We are seeing it now -- End note-BP]

Great spiritual darkness has fallen upon the land, and the days are fast approaching where the hearing of My word shall be as a famine upon the people. Darkness gets darker; foreboding - evil flaunts itself boldly, PRIDE arises!  Be not deceived when those who speak of ‘no falling away’ whisper in your ear.  [see 2Thes 2:3 to avoid deception]

Shout from the rooftops…remember Cain, King Saul and Esau; so it continues, even unto this day. I shall rise up shepherds who will gather the scattered sheep and bring them to the Good Shepherd (Jesus/Y’shua).

Repent, for the Time is at Hand

 Prepare, prepare, prepare ye the way of the Lord! Temptations have come abroad and into the grasp of many, who took the bait of the silver-tongued devil.  

They shall fall, they shall fall. Satan has lured them away, offering them what they thought they needed. He has taken time to learn the weaknesses of My people. Repent, for the time is at hand…

He will slice them through as a knife through butter and many will become divided and the division shall be swift. ‘Now you have all that you need and desire’, he whispers, and they fall as did Samson, as did Balaam. Repent, for the time is at hand…

How much she has glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow for her: for she says in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. [Rev 18:7]

He will present himself in a man or woman, if they are not walking in My commandments and abiding in me. ‘You shall be accepted and respected’, he lies. He offers power and riches to the greedy and wicked, yet the cost is their very souls. Repent, repent, repent, for the time is at hand!

Yea, but I shall rise up those who are considered the most unlikely. The wise shall be confounded by the foolish things and the mighty shall be abased by the weak.  They shall be a shock and a horror to the enemy and to all who oppose them, for I have brought them through hard trials and testing. 

Vessels Unto Honor

Yea, I have been preparing My people. My warriors have been in training, overcoming hard tests and trials. The Bride is making herself ready. Be ready, prepare! The glory, light and magnificence of My (Son) Christ shall fill My vessels of honor and their beauty is comparable to none.  

They bear much fruit and move in the power and authority of Y’shua/Jesus, which shall and does infuriate the oppressor. It is the last of the last days, as the evil in the end of this age escalates. The horror of calamities shall become unbearable, yet is it not written that the time would be shortened for the sake of the elect?  [Mat24:22] 

Woe to the inhabitants of the earth! He who torments the people and destroyed much over all the ages with his own evil armies (demons), coupled with his own evil people, is filled with great wrath, for he knows he has but a short time. [Rev12:12] 

Satan, his evil armies and the workers of iniquity, who follow after and obey him, shall be brought to judgment, and justice shall be carried out.

The enemy seeks to come against My people with fury, accusing them always, for he knows that they are Mine. He would seek to destroy them, yet he is not allowed to, as they remain in faith and obedience. They are hidden under the shadow of My hand. He cannot touch their spirit nor do anything that I do not allow. Hold fast.

I will send forth just the right ones, anointing their words, by which I will draw many to Me. Satan does not see the heart, but he has watchers, an army, and a government. They work together to tempt My people in their weaknesses, in an attempt to seduce them away, when they least expect it.  

He tempts My people to sin, endeavoring to convince them that it is My will. Yea, but I do not tempt My people, nor would I ever direct them towards sin.  

By Faith, Overcome and Endure

I am not capricious nor is discouragement ever from Me. Overcome My people, overcome the flesh and its lusts by dying to self; overcome and endure! Those who hold fast to their faith, clinging to My Son, walking in obedience to My word and doing My will shall be overcomers and receive the crown of life. 

See  [Jam 1:12-14; Rev 12:11] 

In justice, judgment and wrath, this war shall end in victory, for I AM the LORD of the battle. My armies are being positioned and rising up to go forward into battle. Yea, again I say, I AM the Lord of the battle. Selah

End Times Are Here 

There shall be no strains of harmony amongst My people, for they shall walk with one mind, in one spirit and in one accord, despite the blackness of night and the evil around them. They shall plumb the depths of My word and I shall reveal hidden treasures to them. They shall walk in the realms of brightness, coming through the darkness victoriously.  

The winds will fight together with a dreadful blast. With the exaltation of each ocean wave, the shores of this nation shall be overcome, as a great wall arises out of the waters and pushes inland with no mercy.

These Things Must Be

Fear not the earth changes, or pole shifts, or the stars and constellations, or the earth reeling to and fro as the seas rise, for the earth shall vomit and spew forth destruction. I have forewarned in My word; I am Sovereign. These things must be. The winds of war shall blow across this nation, as well as other nations and great shall be the death and destruction.

Keep the Faith – Trust God

Everything I do contains wisdom and knowledge, for I am not the author of confusion. Fear not, My people, for I lead you as you trust in Me. [Jam 1:12; 5-6]

As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: He is a buckler to all them that trust in Him. [2Sam 22:31]

     [Excerpt begins…]

     October 19, 2011 [10.19.11] 

Consider further My people, the cost (the price), that must be paid in total commitment to Me, for all that I do is done decently and in order.

Great Chaos and Destruction

For when great waters overtake your shores, moving inland, and great chaos, death and destruction comes, will you curse Me, or will you finally see the war that has been waged for millennium over the earth and its inhabitants? When the day comes when money is of no value and gold and silver are tossed into the streets, will you then turn to Me in repentance? None shall stop My judgments.

When your land shakes and the earth rips open, will you raise your fist in defiance against a holy God, or will you finally see that the enemy is cruel and wicked? When great fire spills forth in raging fury, will you curse hateful words, or will you see the one who is a curse and an evil creature of hatred, both he and his evil armies? Will you then turn to Me in genuine repentance?

When men who have been taken over by greed and by evil entities war upon your land, showing no mercy and doing as they desire, will you finally cry out to Me in desperation, or will you be as Job’s wife saying, ‘…curse God and die’? [Job 2:9]

War for Souls

The war for souls and for destruction of this earth is real, yet I shall be victorious. When the sun is darkened and the moon does not show its light; when the stars fall from heaven; and the earth reels to and fro like a drunkard, will you cry out for the mountains to fall upon you? Or will you fall upon your knees and cry out to your Creator to forgive you and save you?

Many mock and say, ‘If this is your ‘loving’ God, keep Him.  I don’t want Him’ ─ yet they turn to believe a strong delusion which I send forth that ultimately will destroy both them and their pride, for they did not love the truth.

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 (Yhvh) shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [2Thess 2:10-11]

So consider, My people, that which is so very soon coming upon the earth. All the nations are in an uproar. Peace has left and sorrow and destruction reign. Yea, but beware of those who offer false peace and an answer to all your questions. Selah

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [1Thes5:3]

    Consider, those of you who have laid down your lives completely as a living sacrifice unto Me; consider the reward coming to you. For I shall have a people to show forth My glory and My power in these last days.

Harvest is Ripe

harvest is ripe-photo credit: Dreamstime.com

The harvest is ripe and laborers are few, for many are called, but few are chosen. Multitudes, multitudes shall be in the valley of decision in the days that come. Many shall run to the mountains grieving for their sins and grieving for their blindness.

To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. [Act 26: 18]

But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity. [Ezek7:16]

Flee Lust and Pride

Let Me prepare you now for that which is soon ahead. Beware of the enemy, the seducer, who has already implemented his strategies, as a final assault to those who call themselves by My name, to distract the remnant through lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. [1Jn 2:16]

The death (dying) to self destroys lust and pride, for in the state of death, eyes do not see flesh has no life, and pride has no rule. Lose your life in order to gain it. It is a critical hour! Choose wisely.

To choose foolishly, you will keep your life (refuse the cross), take the bait of the enemy, and succumb to the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and pride of life.  

I urge you, consider carefully and choose wisely. Turn from your own ways. Press in and hear Me, My child, come to know Me in a deeper, intimate way. You will hear Me in the quiet, with a still, small voice, NOT in the distractions that occupy the places that attract your flesh.

Poisoned Water versus Living Water

Wait upon Me, you of little patience. Lay down your cares and anxieties. Be still. Why are you looking for love everywhere, except by looking to Me? Come away from distractions that occupy the places that please your flesh. Do not drink from fountains where water looks lovely and pure, but is filled with bitter poison.   

Why look at the outward appearance? Drink not from the fountains that offer the water of life, yet truly is water of death. Run from those who say, Peace, peace, when there is no peace. [Jer 8:11]

Come unto Me and I shall give you living water. Come away from the distractions that occupy the places that attract your flesh.

For God speaks once, yea twice, yet man perceives it not. [Job 33:14]

I have loved you. I have blessed you. I have been most patient as you struggled, yea, I have even helped you to carry on. Do not throw it away in bitter pride, desperate to satisfy the flesh. Run into My arms and lay not at the bosom of a stranger (physically or spiritually) who allures you in a charming way, for beneath the lovely face are the fangs of the serpent ─ the grand illusionist, father of lies, the counterfeiter – a murderer from the beginning.

[...] He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. [Jn 8:44]

Harden not your heart, but be moved by My grace, mercy, and love for you. I have labored long with you. The trying of your faith has been hard, yea, and is to strengthen you and to draw you closer to Me.

Too Close to Quit

 

Pressing Through Hard Times - the Temptation to Quit

Be strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work will be rewarded. [2Chron 15:7]

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. [Gal 6:8-9]

In January 2021, I had posted an article called: Rejoice Not, O My Enemy – I Will Rise Again. The first words in the title come from the mouth of the ancient prophet Micah [7:8]

Living in times where corruption and sin abound, the prophet saw that there were very few good people, even among those who claimed to be God’s people, but that was their reproach, according to Matthew Henry, a beloved nonconformist preacher and well-respected commentator of the scriptures.

In Psalm 69, King David also groaned deep within, depressed and discouraged, wrote: Reproach has broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. [vs 20]

When the hindrances and interruptions, which I had mentioned in previously posted articles, continued nonstop, even up to yesterday, I became more and more discouraged. I began to question my purpose. With the plagiarists still dipping their hands into the archives, I had to wonder if the good Lord was indeed shutting the door on my writing.

Satan Desires Apostasy

If I do not step out of the boat once again, I never will. Great discouragement weighed me down, to the point where I was ready to quit writing publicly, after 22 years. But that is exactly what some would want me to do. Satan's agenda is to steal, to kill, and to destroy. His desire is to see all Christians fall into apostasy.

At the beginning of the year, but particularly around the end of February, early March, hindrances and interruptions were happening quickly. I began to fall behind more than I ever had before in all these years of writing, and believe me, I have fallen behind before, especially these last few years – just not this severely.

I am not a pastor, prophet, or any such thing; simply a blogger who loves Jesus and has a healthy fear of the Lord, endeavouring to be obedient in sharing the good news, and pointing the way to Jesus/Yeshua. Seems there are those who tear down the average Christian, but exalt the false teachers and false prophets, especially those who plagiarize, or at least, started with plagiarism and gained a following by hiding deception under an exterior covering of shimmering truth.

It began slowly back in October, when it was impressed upon me to remind brethren of increased witchcraft activity, which has been becoming more brazen in the public eye over the past few years. 

As the time fast approaches for the son of perdition, the lawless one, the Antichrist of all antichrists, to make his prideful revealing, witchcraft has been made more public and acceptable (such as the Super Bowl 2024, Grammy Awards 2023, Birmingham Commonwealth Games 2022, Gotthard Base Tunnel 2016, and much more).

The blatant compromise, the lies, the blasphemy and mockery, the deception (yes, IN the churches and EXECUTED by multitudes who call themselves followers of Jesus), false brethren, false teachers/preachers, false prophets, false doctrines, witchcraft in the church, the acceptance of sodomy, acceptance of transgender preachers, abortions 'after' natural childbirth – shall I continue?

It is heartbreaking –

Pressing In and Waiting on the Lord

Did I press in to ask the Lord about quitting writing? More than ever. A critical spirit is in the personality of many who call themselves by Christ’s name, but they would call it discernment, and hide their gossip under the guise of ‘concern’. 

How are we to respond? Pray good for them, that God would help them as surely as He helped me (and every other born-again, Holy Spirit-filled person who repented), and then leave it in God’s hands – for my wisdom is foolishness to Him.

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God [Rom 3:23]

The nonstop chronic pain has not helped. Combined with the hindrances, interruptions, the plagiarism, and other matters of concern, I just about quit writing. I am not complaining about the chronic pain, nor am I looking for sympathy. Perish the thought. Yes, there are times I want to ‘go home’, just to get relief because morphine is not really doing much, except to make pain bearable.

To be upfront, I was not so grateful for this pain at first. It was frustrating (still is because it limits my activity), and it angered me, but mostly, I just wanted relief, or to see an end to the pain somewhere up ahead.

But now I see changes in my heart – gratitude, clinging more to God, letting independence go, trust increasing, seeing God’s wisdom in using it to mold me step by step into Christ’s image, thanksgiving, opportunity to praise Jesus, realizing the privilege of being able to run to the Lord anytime, anywhere…and so much more. All to the glory to God; Yeshua is exalted on high.

God’s Order of Things

I believe the Word of God regarding God’s order of things [1Cor 14:40], and the roles of men and women (I appreciate the godly male pastors who take the lead), men who stand for Israel (God’s chosen nation/people), who honour all of God’s Word, standing against abortion, sodomy, and homosexuality.

They are not afraid to mention repentance, the cross (as well as the spiritual cross we are to carry daily, endeavouring to overcome and to nail sinful and fleshly appetites and desires), the precious blood that purchased us, paid for our sins that nailed Jesus to the cross.

What about holiness, forgiveness, God’s sovereignty, or the Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Spirit)? What about the armour of God [Ephesians 6], the adversary (Satan and his hierarchy), and spiritual warfare?

There are still preachers who do not compromise in order to gather a huge following, or to stroke their egos. They teach pure and true doctrine, have a healthy fear of the Lord, but walk humbly as Christ did. I wonder if rebellion is part of the fallen nature we inherited from Adam because many still rebel against God’s Word.

Although I have given a prophetic message in times past, I do not claim to be a prophet. I believe in prophesying, for it is written:

Despise not prophesying. Prove [test] all things; hold fast that which is good. [1Thess 5:20-21]

The false prophets today are more like fortune tellers, or gossips, “revealing” the sins of people in the public eye, or constantly have some new revelation, or predict what will be in the news. Would we want the Lord to broadcast our sins, especially if any that might be done in secret, or would we want Him to give us a chance to repent first? 

But with some of today’s ‘prophets’, the Lord spills the beans on multitudes. Would we want our past sins brought up if we repented privately in brokenness and with godly sorrow? 

I have seen so-called apostles, self-proclaimed prophets and those who claim to be preachers do such, and so have multitudes of others seen it. How could people trust the Lord if that is how He operated (which it is not His way at all)?

The God of the Bible does not trash anyone, or make a public show of them.

Yet it would seem that the false have thousands of loyal followers, people who defend them because they look at the outward appearance, their ‘charismatic’ personality and charm. It could also be that:

[1] their followers are deceived

[2] deception has blinded them

[3] some are not saved, and some need deliverance from python [spirit of divination]

[4] the person almost has two personalities (the dark side of their sin is so well hidden that only their victims and God Himself know about it: friends and family are fooled by their ‘good works’) – for now. But their judgment day is coming!

For over a decade the Lord has been urging people to stay in His Word and to stand on it, to come closer to Him, and wait in His presence – not rushing off. He is consistent, steadfast, repeating the message so that we would keep a repentant heart, forgive those who come against us and pray for them (never easy at first, but gets easier as one steps out in faith). Obedience comes naturally from love.

This will be a short entry.  

It is Not Complicated

I am now glad that the hindrances and interruptions kept me from posting about the eclipse because it seems everyone and their uncle posted about it. Jesus said that no sign would be given but the sign of Jonah. He did not wrap the answer up in deep revelations or mysteries to guess and solve.

The message is simple, so simple a youth would get it. I mentioned it in the last article, posted April 7, 2024, the day before the eclipse. I ended the article saying it was a “call to repentance”, and that all nations needed to repent, and that we were to “repent, be holy, a warning”. 

The asterisks are book-ending the titles of two of the three messages I posted online in 2005/2006. The third one was: “The Watchman Repented”. That is how the Lord started me in my writing: repentance, trust, forgiveness. He built from there

As Unto the Lord

Almost giving up on writing (NOT to be confused with giving up on the Lord or my faith), shutting down the blog, I did press into the Lord – for weeks now. The plagiarists got to me, but one ‘prophesied’ that many would have their platforms shut down.

But God is Sovereign.

A few days back, I was repenting about unbelief and fear (these were attempting to enslave me again). The Lord reminded me of His love, and how perfect love casts out fear because fear has torment, and if we have unhealthy fear, it is because we are not perfect in love. [1Jn 4:18]

Then, when I opened the Bible, it opened to Jesus leaving the 99 righteous, to go after the one who had gone astray. I silently wept and broke, repenting for fear and unbelief, for wandering astray from the Word – how subtle the enemy is indeed. He strikes when we are weak.

Then, when I asked again about writing, or was it time to quit – after weeks of waiting and wondering, I came across the answer that jumped off the page.

Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as men pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

Knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ. But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he has done: and there is no respect of persons. [Col 3:22-25]

I understood that I was to please God, not man, to have a sole devotion to write for the Lord, and to fear God. I am to write wholeheartedly as unto the Lord – to keep trust that He will take care of plagiarists, or all of us, if we do wrong.

So, step by step, I will continue, to the glory of Messiah Jesus.

In the presence of His glory

No Time for Patience -Part 3-Paradigm to Wait

Paradigm Shift

February 3, 2012 – [02.03.2012]

Can you still trust Me when you seemingly have no outward joy in life, faint hope and trials that seem never-ending?  Will you wait upon Me and wait for Me when I am silent? 

Have you been in hiding or gone into hiding, just as Elijah was in hiding in a cave by the brook of Cherith?  Yes, David hid in caves as well.  Do you feel cut off from the world and everything worldly?  Do you feel cut off by others who have called themselves by My name?

Do you feel bound, hand and foot – desiring to go where I will send you, but unable to yet go, for I have not said where, when or how?  Do your hands feel inactive – desiring to do more, to do greater works, to be more empowered by My Holy Spirit? 

Do you feel that I have passed you over?  Do you wonder what you have done for Me that has pleased Me or been of any real significance?  Do you search your heart and weep because you seem so far from where you desire to be, or think you should be, yet you know that I have brought you far from where you once were?

Have you covered your mouth at times, unsure if you should speak forth that which is burning deep within?  Do you feel that when you do speak, it seems as though no one listens and those that do are few?   

Is your spirit heavy; are you struggling to speak life over the aching of your shattered heart?  Do you feel at times as if your light is hidden under a bushel and the weight of the bushel is too heavy to lift?

Does it seem at times like your candle has been snuffed out, or very weak at best?  In a moment of weakness, do you feel as though your holiness is defiled? 

Do you feel burnt out; sifted as wheat; misunderstood, unappreciated, profaned or weak?   Do you struggle within, desiring for it all to end?  Do you feel close to death or do you desire that your time here ends soon?  You have cried out like Job, like Elijah …

Let My people go, I spoke through Moses.  Unbind him and let him go, My Son Jesus/Y’shua spoke about Lazarus when he came forth from the grave.  Come out; come out from amongst them, My Spirit urges.

I have spoken to My people, come out of the tombs of the dead churches.  I have said to come out of Babylon; come out of Egypt; come out from the world; touch no unclean thing.  Be ye separate, for you are in the world, but not of this world.

As Lazarus, My people could not see ahead at first, nor were their steps sure.  Unbind them and let them go, I have said to the tormenting spirits.  Death must come, death to the old and you shall see My resurrection power in the new.

Shake off your heaviness and your multitude of sorrows, for I have not finished with My mercies towards you.  I shall be glorified.  When you bring forth in lamentation, sorrow and great labor, I shall give you rest, and ease your labor.

I shall strengthen you.  When you go into the field, laced by the woods, it is a place of solitude, yea, but you shall be shut in with Me.  Do not be afraid, nor let your heart be troubled.  I AM with you.  

For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.  [Is 55: 12]

Travail and bring forth, for from the labor (great pain), miraculous victory is birthed.

Gethsemane and the Death Cry

In the days of His flesh, Y’shua offered up prayers and supplications with blood, sweat and strong tears, to Him who was able to save Him from death.  He was heard because of His reverence toward Me, His Father [Heb 5:7].

In [Rev12:1;5-6], you read where the woman flees to the wilderness, where she has a place prepared for her.  Cry out in your spirit, or even in your flesh and lament.  I shall be with you to bring you over to the promise; to bring you through to victory.  It is time.

There is a void in the hearts of the sufferers, there is a death cry that rises up from the lips of their spirit, yea, but I AM the God of salvation.  Sacrifice up the voice of praise and thanksgiving. 

Yea, death is a lone journey, as is birth.  When turning from sin to repentance, there is a deathly groaning, a cry that comes forth from deep within a man’s soul, a horror in his flesh, as he enters the valley of death.

I AM He who will comfort you in your suffering.  In death, there is inward travail and outward conflict – so it is in birthing, there is inward travail and outward conflict, as a great shift takes place.  Satan comes to destroy the victory.   He can appear as a pharaoh, as he did in Egypt with Moses. 

He can appear as a Pontius Pilate, doing as Pilate did with Y’shua, as he washed his hands, endeavoring to cleanse himself outwardly of any responsibility and guilt. 

Can you comprehend that Satan is resisting your victory?  He will oppose it to the limit of his power, for his power is limited by what I allow.  There is a line he cannot cross, and that is the line drawn with the blood of My Son.

Weep, Lament, Travail

Like as a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs (outward conflict); so have we been in thy sight, O LORD. 

We have been with child, we have been in pain (inward travail), we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.  [Is 26: 17, 18]

    Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. (*note-compare with Rom 8:28)
 

A woman when she is in travail (inward travail) has sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child (outward conflict/birthing), she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. [Jn16:20, 21]

Jesus (Y’shua) travailed with My plan of salvation, for He knew the work, the suffering and the sacrifice that only He could and would make.  The Garden of Gethsemane (oil press) was the beginning of His labor, the beginning of His crushing; the beginning of His ‘pouring out’.   

Yea, travail is pain.  You must go through it all, in dying to self, yet I AM with you.  Only through travail and labor can new life be birthed; a vision becomes reality!  

     Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.

    Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? 

    for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. 

Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? says your God.   

[Is 66: 7-9]

Be in pain and labor awhile longer, you who are faint in spirit and weary of the pain.  Now you shall come forth, as Lazarus.  You shall dwell for a time in the field, amongst the trees… a place of solitude, yet the time of solitude is nearly over. (Think upon Job, Joseph, David)

Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shall you go forth out of the city, and you shall dwell in the field, and you shall go even to Babylon; there shall you be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of your enemies. [Micah 4:10]

This is My Will 

Are you greatly vexed in your spirit?  Are you brought very low?  Do you feel so very alone? Have you come to the end of yourself?  I looked upon your misery and considered your distress.  I answer your prayers. Have you not prayed, ‘Not my will but Thy will, Father?’

Hold fast and pray, for the day comes when you shall say, ‘It is finished’.  If you are full of heaviness, greatly humbled, mourning sorely, full of lamentation, let your lamentation be heard on high.  Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.  [Ps 22:11]

Bring forth with labor, for this victory is birthed after great sorrow.  Are you feeling very weary?  Bear up with good courage for that which has befallen you.  This is My will concerning you.  Arise and do!  Go through for joy comes in the morning.  

Remember Joseph who had been given two dreams with a great vision, yet everything seemingly (outwardly) went [appeared] wrong in his life from his youth until well into manhood, before the vision was birthed. 

It was birthed after great sorrow and laboring as a prisoner.  Having been hated by his brothers, sold into slavery, poorly treated, yet oddly respected ('his God is with him'), falsely accused of trying to seduce Potiphar’s wife and wrongfully imprisoned.  

He was seemingly forgotten by the king’s cupbearer, who promised to say a good word to the king on Joseph’s behalf.  To many, it seemed as though he were forsaken by Me.

From the time of man’s fall, this is (and has been) war, and there are endless battles, but I am the Lord of the battle. 

Is the altar of your heart broken down?  Does it seem that your temple has been destroyed and defiled by man (people)?  Does the inner place seem laid waste?  Is the music and the song of your heart put to silence?  

Does your rejoicing seem to be put to an end?  Is your candle put out, or flickering faintly, with barely any strength?  Do you feel your holiness has been defiled by the things you are exposed to in the world; things you hear and things that pass before your eyes?   

Yes, this is My perfect will for you, for I AM the Alpha and Omega; He who knows the end result from the beginning. 

For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: but you would not.

Quietness and confidence is found in trusting.  Repent and turn, turn, turn back to Me in quietness and full confidence, son…daughter, patiently waiting. Forgiveness is the fruit of My mercy and compassion, given to the contrite heart, and sin is cast into the depths of the sea [Micah 7:19] 

I wait for the Lord, my soul does wait, and in His word I do hope.  My soul waits for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.  [Ps 130:5, 6]

(End message)

Night watchmen are on the highest alert in darkness, in the hours of uncertainty. They know that the adversary loves to come when all is dark, using darkness as a cover to attack unexpectedly, in cunning, crafty ways.

They have to keenly watch and listen intently in the quietness (stillness) for the approach of the enemy.  They must be confident in God, ready to fight if necessary.

What shall we then say to these things?  If God be for us, who can be against us?  [Rom 8:31]

With great eagerness and at times with longing impatience, the night watchmen wait for the morning. It is in the light of day that all is revealed and they can rest, fully relieved.

They wait and trust for morning with anticipatory enthusiasm, especially when the night seems never-ending. They know with all certainty the sun will rise each day.

[END message]

[NOTE: We too must wait in the quietness of our dark hours, guarded against the approach of the enemy, yet fully confident in God and all He has taught us. We can know with all certainty that what God has promised, He is well able to perform. Let it not be said of us (as it was His people, the Israelites, then: "but you would not." (Let us learn from the Word, and from and from His people.) 

Even when the dark hours seem never-ending and impatience threatens to steal our peace, we must remain as confident and certain of God’s promises coming to pass as surely as the night watchmen are of the sun rising and a new day dawning - End note - BP]

Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the day spring (new day; first appearance of light) from on high has visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. [Lk1:78, 79]

The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knows them that trust in Him. [Nahum 1:7]

WAIT

December 4, 2008 4:14 pm

Hold fast to your faith, mighty warriors!

(This word is for someone - perhaps it is for a few 'someone's that happen here. With over eight billion people in the world, it does not take a prophetic person to nail that one safely - the glory to God alone)
 

Stand fast! Yes, stand fast and wait upon the Lord. I know you have been shaken strongly, even sifted as wheat. I know you feel weak spiritually (exhausted). Perhaps you feel spiritually disoriented.

Fear not, be strong in Me. Rest in Me. Quickly you shall be strengthened if you wait upon Me. I am with you in this - yea, I am in all that concerns you. There are more battles fast approaching. War is coming.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [Eph6:12]

You have done well in all the tests (gold is tested and purified), and in the trials (silver is refined), and in tribulations (times of preparation). Akita mani yo, mikola. [Observe everything as you walk, my friend]

Yea, I call you friend. You are My child, who has proven to serve Me with loyalty despite the attempts of the enemy to have you, 'Curse God and die', (Job's wife to Job) or even in, 'Has God said?' (serpent to Eve)

Then said his wife unto him, Do you still retain your integrity? Curse God, and die [the adversary wants you to give up] [Job2:9]

Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, has God said […] [Gen 3:1]

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. [Lk 10:19]

You have stood fast and true, even in moments when you could not bring yourself to speak to Me due to shame and emotions, but your heart kept repentant, as did king David's. This is not the time to give up with unbelief.

You certainly believe that I can do all things and repeatedly, at given opportunities, you testify to My power. Your heart is after Mine and your heart is to obey. Too many say one thing and do another. Too many praise Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.

With Me, nothing is impossible [Mat 19:26] nor is My arm shortened that it cannot save. [Is 59:1] Yes, you do believe I can do all things, so would you allow unbelief to come forward to command you now? You shall not.

Warrior, through My Son, by His blood and in His name, you have been given all authority. Prepare for another battle. FEAR NOT, for lo, I AM with you. You shall walk by faith and not by sight.

Come near to Me for already you feel a stirring deep within your spirit. I AM preparing and have prepared you, teaching you all along, even in times of silence.  Speak life. My Word is a quick and powerful sword to use in every battle. It is a double-edged sword that cuts both ways.

The prophet that has a dream, let him tell the dream; and he that has My word, let him speak My word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? Is not My word like a fire and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? [Jer23:28, 29]

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; [Ps 149:6]

Continue to trust Me as you rest in Me, waiting for Me. Strength comes. Unbelief dies as faith and obedience triumph! Let all things of the past go now and trust in Me, and as you rest, I shall strengthen you.
Now is not the time to give up in fear and unbelief, or quit in hopelessness.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. [Ps 27:14]

Do not look back. Know that you and all that concerns you is in MY most competent hands.

And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might [Deu 6:5]

And the second is like, namely this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these. [Mk 12:31]

I tell you a truth. Be wise and fill your lamp with oil. In Me, you shall find strength to overcome and you shall be given white garments. Your name will be found in the book of life.

If you do not deny Him, My Son Christ Jesus will confess you before Me and before My holy angels.

When you are strengthened, go and encourage the brethren and do not tire of speaking to those who are lost and to set free those held captive. Do not be concerned with the look upon the faces.

My love in you must reach out to those in danger of damnation. The mercy I have shown towards you will grant you patience, and understanding. 

Now do justly and extend that same mercy and love to others, whilst walking humbly before Me. [Micah 6:8] Run with the message that I give you and through it all, I shall be glorified.

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And He shall send Jesus Christ, who before was preached unto you. [Acts 3:19,20]

Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. [Rom 13:2]
