War inAir-Witchcraft in Fog-Hindrances and Distractions

Trust Yahweh
Trust Jesus/Yeshua

[Updated more than I first intended, but that is a good thing. Additional info, commentary, and a few pictures- I wanted to get the post up, so not all the details I wanted to share were presented in the first post, but are now with update. The additions balance out several points. Monday, November 24, 2025--BP]

Some trust in chariots, some in horses, but we will trust in the Lord our God. [Ps20:]   ESV

Hindrances and Distractions

For this cause, we would have come to you, even I Paul, again and again, but Satan hindered us [blocked the way]. [1Thess 2:18]

Constant bombardments have caused an inability to concentrate as hindrances, disruptions and distractions kept stealing my focus. Hindrances and distractions are definitely two weapons in Satan's arsenal, or tools in his burglary kit, whichever way you prefer to see it.

The thief comes not but to steal, to kill and to destroy, but Jesus came to give life abundantly. [Jn 10:10]

Patience is a tough one to learn, or rather, to wait out...

It is like every test and challenge that has ever had to be endured along this faith walk, this incredible journey, have all gathered together and come back around for the granddaddy of all exams. Holy Spirit, please help us (all of God’s people) to endure to the end, in the name above all names, Jesus the Christ of Nazareth [precious Yeshua, our Jesus].

No matter how organized I have tried to be, how carefully I determined to take care of details, it is like a new curveball gets thrown in my direction, catching me off guard, demanding my attention.

Yeshua, my Jesus, must come first [truly needs to start my day] …I have learned that no day goes right if I leave thanksgiving, prayer and Bible reading to a later time (which, yes, despite my best efforts, sometimes gets pushed back to much later in the day, and rarely, but again, yes...occasionally even missed, due to happenstance).

And seriously, on those days when everything else is sadly given first place, or if time with the Lord is neglected altogether, the day ends up as an unproductive, disorderly day. Time flies by too fast with hardly anything accomplished that I wanted to get done.

Everything God does is done decently and in order, but the world, flesh, and life have a way of interrupting most times. Friends [beautiful souls that they are] are greeted, emails taken care of, business calls addressed, and anything else that I can think of as needing attention.

I will spare all the details, but suffice it to say these distractions, disruptions, and hindrances are serious enough to cause concern and attention, and mostly prayer! The enemy is on a rampage because indeed, he knows his time is short. We all sense the foreboding.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed [2Cor 4:8]

Tests of obedience, honesty, integrity, morals, patience, humility, you name it…testing one, two, three. God knows how we will manage when every possible evil begins to rear its ugly head amidst the chaos of deception, but do we know how we will manage?

watch out for those
low-riding curve balls

We might think we do, especially since our confidence rests in Christ Jesus. But how are we doing in the trials coming our way in these days now? I have good days and bad days; days of success…and days to repent. Growing pains, learning curves…is there an end, Lord?

We know the answer. “No end to troubles on this side of eternity”:  So, with our face set like flint [strong, unwavering, determined], we cling to Jesus like healthy grapes cling to a strong vine!” Christ does help us. 

When my faith is as a grain of mustard seed (and believe me, some days, a grain is all I can muster, but praise God, it's a grain!), that is all it takes Jesus said to move [spiritual] mountains! 

Mountains! How about that! That is grand! I know it sounds surreal, crazy even...but I can give a firsthand account that God's Word is true. It is putting that faith in action, and God supernaturally, invisibly (call it what you will), but He truly does get us through

 Just don't give in to the devil's lies. He will speak in the first person, but turn deaf ears. We are in a spiritual battle, but our Commander in chief is Jesus. He will get us through each zone.

It is in our weakness that we embrace the strength so readily available in and through Jesus (Yeshua). He warned us that in this world we will have tribulation, but to be of good cheer (brave up) because He has overcome the world. [Jn16:33]

It is not easy, and the good Lord knows it! Jesus did not say the above words glibly; there was nothing insincere or shallow about anything He said or did. He wanted us to clearly understand that the world is fallen, but also that He is an ever-present help in trouble. [Ps 46:1]

Yahweh sent Jesus, and when He completed His earthly mission as Saviour / Redeemer, He sent the Holy Spirit to guide, comfort, strengthen and instruct us until His return. We are the last generation Christ Jesus spoke of. 


Many Hands Make Little Work - Piece by Piece It Comes Together

Show me Your ways, Lord, teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Saviour, and my hope is in You all day long. [Ps 25:4-5]

The hindrances and distractions have been to keep all of us behind on things. Yet, for me, all this time, it is to keep me behind all else as the Lord unfolds things regarding Charlie and Erika Kirk.

But, here is the clincher! Believe it or not, all (this) and that too is strictly a distraction, albeit, a major distraction nonetheless. See what I mean now about weapons in Satan's arsenal?

Or should I say, handy (important) tools in the devil's toolbox? Have  you noticed how that expression is buzzing around since Canada's FREEDOM convoy back in 2022? 

Buzz words = tools, toolbox. Now we have a new distraction, err, I mean, a new 'freedom'...with Charlie Kirk.

 Moving forward...next!

Suddenly, the words "tools" and 'toolbox' were buzzing. They were being heard everywhere, even on major TV stations, social media platforms, and news sites. 

We mimic each other...they label it 'trending'...or call us 'sheeple'. No wonder plagiarists believe they can get away with stuff [whispers>>>and for the most part, they do] - 

... And even if, by some remote chance, they are caught, a shrug is given, and a 'who cares' is heard. Like when (no disrespect intended, Mrs. Melania Trump), but like when you plagiarized Michelle Obama's speech word for word. 

The people gasped, some covered their mouths, most shook their heads. Others chuckled, while still others clicked or clucked their tongues. And then:

... Everyone moved forward. Next!

We have a wise Creator. He does not give one person all of the answers. As any good Father [and He is Supreme, the best], He loves us too much to tell us everything. He is a Divine Protector. 

He also knows the carnal nature all too well, and how much it loves to be stroked, and how easily it becomes puffed up with pride. The living God would never set any one of His children up for a fall.

And no marvel; for Satan himself
is transformed into an
angel of light.
[2Cor11:14]

Nor would Yahweh lead any one of His people into destruction, but we have an adversary who would. If we follow the wrong voice, it will lead us down a broad path. He will give a false prophet very convincing information (likely appearing as an angel of light, or counterfeiting the voice of God). 

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. [Prov16:18]

When a prophecy fails, Satan (or a [python] spirit of divination) laughs as the false prophet "humbly" (said with tongue in cheek) offers an explanation. I have yet to hear a false prophet admit they were wrong, but that does not mean that none of them have never said it. 

I just personally have not heard it. However, in all fairness, it is a big web [internet] and I am not omnipresent (everywhere at once: Shocker, I know). One scripture several of the false prophets often mention is: "[...] we see through a glass darkly.[1Cor13:12]

They often throw in: "We see in part and prophesy in part", further admitting that only God knows all things. [vs 9] And just to make sure that we drop any stones that may happen to be in our hands (and to get them dropped quickly to the ground if there are any), they will say, "I'm not a prophet."

But they also repeat, "Don't take my word for it; take it to the LORD!" (that's very popular - they all say that.

These foxy foxes make me angry. They cover their tracks and much more. They may fool the people (some, not all), but they NEVER fool God. (More on this in upcoming article. It makes me furious, yes, angry, righteous anger.

Here's a clue:  Just like the rest of us, the false prophets and false teachers, etc. all read comments too. They begin to delete; they begin to scrub; they begin to file down the rough edges, and polish up their presentation.

They adjust accordingly. They  are people pleasers. They also have the advantage of something else which I intend to talk about very clearly, and in some depth in near-future articles, as Jesus leads. Time is running out.

I refuse to coddle false prophets! Jesus did not. Elijah did not! Moses did not! God definitely does not.

Take heed no man (person) deceive you. (Jesus' warning) [Mat 24:4]

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (further warning by Jesus about these very days we are in now) [Mat 24:24]

Four times - FOUR - times in that short speech, Yeshua (our Jesus) spoke of deception. As I always say, for a man who did NOT waste words, for the Lord to repeat Himself four times like that, we really DO need to pay attention; to TAKE HEED no man (person) deceive us. Thank You Lord Jesus for the serious heads up!

                                

False prophets twist scripture just as surely as Satan does (and as he did in Eden). When one of their prophecies fail, they say: "You who are without sin, cast the first stone."  Another thing I have very often heard false prophets say is that they are not perfect, and that 'we all miss it sometimes'

Sometimes? If  the Holy Spirit is speaking through you, or if God gave you a message to speak forth, He will make no mistakes. 

Please know that. You will have to own the mistake. i emphatically repeat, El Shaddai [God Almighty] makes no mistakes. Repent and ask God to shut the mouths of the LYING lion (Satan) who deceived you.

We have all been deceived at some point. No? Did you ever believe in Santa Claus, or the tooth fairy, or the Easter bunny? Did you ever believe a lie someone that you loved told you, only to find out later that it was a lie?

Then you have been deceived. When you were a little child, did one of your parents tell you that chocolate milk comes from brown cows? Then, you have been deceived. 

Were you told that Adam and Eve ate an apple in the Garden? - that an apple was the "forbidden fruit"?

Then you have been deceived. It was probably Balaam's donkey or one of her distant cousins, a horse, that told you it was an apple. Then,  you have been deceived.

Nummy! Apples!

They wanted you to stop eating apples (IF, in fact, they are the forbidden fruit) because they love apples, and wanted them all to themselves.  Just saying...

By the by, a little trivia. 

Back to a more serious note, the Bible is silent about what kind of fruit the forbidden fruit was. However, a Jewish professor, Azzan Yadin-Israel, wrote a book called: Temptation Transformed (University of Chicago Press, 2022).

Azzan Yadin-Israel, professor
of Jewish Studies at
Ruegers University, New Brunswick, N.J.

He gave Andrea Alexander the answer from his studies that he wrote in his book. The information was given for a lecture that was held at Douglass Student Center in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in February 2023. She also submitted the information in an article that she wrote for Rutgers University.

It all started back when the Bible was translated into Latin. In that language, the word "malum" happens to be a homonym of the Latin word for both "evil or bad" and "apple". A homonym is when one word with the same spelling has two separate meanings. 

For example:

* lead -- "a metal", or to "guide someone"

One word, same spelling, two separate meanings. The pronunciation for both words is identical, and transliterated into English in the same way, creating what has been called a "well-known linguistic coincidence".

Azzan Yadin-Israel wrote: "Since, the argument goes, the forbidden fruit caused the fall of man and humanity's expulsion from paradise, it is certainly a terrible malum ("evil"). So what fruit is a more likely candidate than the malum, "apple". this view has become received wisdom and is found in scholarly works across fields and disciplines."

That is interesting, is it not? Even though it is proven that the misunderstanding is due to a language barrier, or where one word took on two separate meanings, it is still an accepted work amongst scholars.

That makes me shake my head. It is like opening one's arms to deception.

End of trivia.

Back to the false prophets...

Pride keeps some of the false prophets from mentioning Romans 3:23, where it is written that ALL have fallen short of His glory, not some, but all of us. A-L-L. --- ALL! 

Like Porky Pig always said: "That's all, folks!"

ALL
 have fallen short

God Does Not Reveal Everything to Any One Person

What a Creator we have! His eye for detail and beauty is unmatched! Why, oh my, just look at the false teachers and false prophets who strut around now like a beautiful peacock with its plumage in full colourful display.

What a marvellous Creator we have!

They would have us believe that God tells them everything. And no rudeness toward you intended, Mr. Troy Black, but you make it seem like El Shaddai gives you the goods on a great number of people. Firstly, God is NOT a gossip.

It seems God tells you more than He told His good friend, Abraham. Good gracious, He did not even tell His only begotten and much beloved Son everything [in whom He is well pleased -- [Mat 3:17] ... such as the day or the hour that Jesus would be returning. Well, maybe He has been waiting to tell you. 

My apologies, I am being facetious. But when you post these videos time and time again with the titles promoted by "seducing spirits" aka "clickbait", are you targeting the naive, or the prophet chasers, or silly women? (and the innocent, those searching for truth but are not yet saved)?

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various lusts [passions], always learning, and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. [2Tim 3:5-7]

The Great TPUSA Distraction

I added much more to this article than I had originally intended, but there were things I felt had to be said. May the Holy Spirit do what He does best, and lead people where they will best be fed spiritually, helping them to discern, and teaching them what to look for in order to discern properly.

And to all the false teachers that tell people, "Don't judge", you need to learn that discernment requires judgment. One has to 'judge' to discern 'good' from 'evil', 'right' from 'wrong', 'truth' from 'error'. 

When Jesus spoke about not judging, He meant that we can NOT judge whether a person will go to heaven or not because He is not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL (there's that word again), should come to repentance. 

However, will ALL come to repentance? Sadly, no. We know that not all will because it is written that there will be a falling away in the end times. That means walking away from the faith, not embracing it. 

We need to be able to discern (judge) the wolves in sheep's clothing, the goats, the hirelings, the charlatans, etc. We need to be able to judge, to discern, the familiar spirits, the seducing spirits, etc. It is Satan that does not want us to judge. We are to judge righteous judgment.

And when He comes, He will convince 
the world of sin, and of righteousness,
and of judgment
[Jn 16:8]

The first place we begin is with humility, and humbly praying for the help, wisdom, and guidance of the Holy Spirit, giving thanks to our King and Lord for teaching us; thanking Him for His Word. That is the next place where we go to learn about righteous judgment. 

We need to feed our spiritual man with the Bread of Life, and to nourish ourselves with living Water. Jesus is those things, and He is written about throughout the entire Bible, from the Old and New Testament alike. 

We need the Lord and we need to involve Jesus/Yeshua wholly in our surrendered life. You will not regret it. He will be our strength, our wisdom, our everything if we let Him.

Yes, I know, even the false prophets are saying that now. They have the advantage of AI (Did you wonder how we would do "greater works than Jesus"? We will never out-do the Lord...but AI, and other incredible technologies will surely be advantageous to this last generation.

Who is Charlie Kirk?

At first, when I stumbled across the news of Charlie Kirk's assassination, I was working on my War and Witchcraft series. I had never heard of Charlie Kirk before or a magazine called Jezebel.

However, I happened upon a news article that had been written and put in Jezebel, an extreme feminist magazine. According to Newsweek, the magazine wrote an article statingEsty witches paid to curse Charlie Kirk

That was the beginning of the piecing together of this more recent and one of the last big distractions that I have been mentioning. What I have come up with comes from the leading and direction of the Lord.

However, it has come over time (Kirk was assassinated on July 20, 2025) with the leading of the Lord, much researching, much prayer and many tears, and the help of many hands belonging to people I most likely will never meet on this side of heaven. Some of those hands are simply dirty, and we do not want to touch them.

The piecing together of the Charlie Kirk story all began with a verse on conspiracy.

For the Lord spoke to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, A conspiracy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A conspiracy; neither fear their fear, nor be afraid.

Sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself; and let HIM be  your fear, and let HIM be your dread. [Is 8:11-13]

At first I was almost convinced that the Lord was instructing me not to join people in their conspiratorial thoughts regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk, or the bizarre grieving of his wife, Erika. 

In fact, I confided that exact understanding to a close friend (who, unbeknownst to me, had already heard of the shooting of Kirk - but then again, she is American).But that was not what He was saying. Remember, Satan uses scripture too.

I returned to pray about it and felt the nudging in my spirit to go back to Isaiah 8 and read what the chapter was about, and glean any message the good Lord may be speaking to me through His Word.


Fear God
Wait for the Lord

When I returned to the book of Isaiah, chapter eight, my attention was immediately drawn to a subtitle that was posted directly above  verse 11, which was the scripture I was moved to begin with and write down.

It said: Fear God, Wait for the Lord, and near it was written: Fear God's power, not man's. That truly spoke to me because I was searching the Word, during prayer time with the Lord, regarding this man Kirk and his assassination.

A man certainly feels powerful when he has a weapon in his hand, but no matter what, God's power is greater. In re-reading the verses that I had read before, the words that seemed highlighted were in verse 12 which mentions a conspiracy, with the instructions: "neither fear their fear nor be afraid".

He speaks to us through His Word, and yes (though some disagree) in our hearts. His faithfulness of Adonai is immeasurable. In the upcoming articles, I will break down more the way the Lord reveals and is leading me.

Team work, not a competition against each other
Let us love one another - I love you...
We need to be working as one body,
with Christ Jesus as the Head.
Without the head, the body dies.
Selah...

And I love how He speaks through others, too. It is NOT a competition. We are to work as a team. Jesus meant for us to be one body working together, with Him as the HEAD. Without the head, the body dies. We need Jesus, admit it or not.

Israel was mentioned in scripture in Isaiah eight, and I sensed an alert in my spirit. It is the first mention, but more were to come (and all this is STILL a work in progress).

So much is happening in the world, is it not? Yet, we can and must rest and trust in Him. Be anxious for nothing, take all to Him in prayer, with thanksgiving. [Phil 4:6] Jesus comforts us.

Over the course of the next few weeks, step by step, He has led, is leading, and will lead. The Lord is not in a hurry, but He does have appointed times and things planned. He is the Providential God, Sovereign, majestic.

We are His children, His people, and we are at His command. Is it not glorious? What an honour, what a joy to be His...Thank You for all You did, are doing, and will do for us, Jesus. 

Next came the scriptures in Matthew 24, take heed no man deceive you – Jesus/Yeshua warning about being deceived, to guard against it four times in that chapter.  I am mentioning scriptures, words, verses, etc, but not in the order given or led. Then Egypt was highlighted, but so was the word “idolatry”, and Israel, and judgment. David, Bathsheba, Delilah, Jezebel, Solomon. 

If you try and guess, you likely will guess wrong. There is much to sort through, but I am cherry-picking from memory, and it is not in the order that I was led. It is not going to all be written here, not now. I am getting tired.

How I love Israel, but not as much as our Creator does. But if we are ungrateful children; if we become rebellious and disobedient, we will earn His wrath, His anger. Throughout history, God's people would go through stages, obey and worship, rebel and commit idolatry.

Look at the nations today. Are any a fine example of grateful, loving children? Whatever we want to do, we do it. Are we at the place yet where it is written that everyone does what is right in their own eyes?  Yet, He was pointing to Israel, time and again…and judgment. Why, Lord, I asked. At the beginning, I fasted and prayed. Hindrances, distractions…it was getting frustrating.

I do not believe in replacement theology, nor am I against Israel. But throughout its history, Israel, like the rest of us, kept getting into hot water and disobeying God. What are you showing  me, Lord?

Behind the Beautiful Mask

Erika Kirk, how I prayed…how badly I felt for being suspicious of her. She was part of the reason for the fast. How could I be so cold-hearted, suspecting; it would not shake free.

red warning flag waving

Deception, deception – red flags were waving.  The Lord reminded me of when He moved on me to write about the season of Judas’ (plural) back in June 2025.

He brought up Jezebel, a word I am slow to use, always have been because too many in the church seem to call everyone they do not like or they disagree with a “Jezebel”. It was after the word was highlighted in the Bible (I had hung onto it for awhile), that I stumbled across the story of Charlie Kirk. The Jezebel magazine had published a story.

There is much more I have been working on, but the distractions, the hindrances…have been unavoidable, and so frustrating. right now, our beautiful just turned two-year-old Bluetick hound dog mix is very sick. We are not sure what is wrong...pray the Lord keeps His hand upon Him and heal him, or at least, hold him steady until my pension comes in or we get resources, hopefully in a couple of days.

I might have chewed this branch too much

this will bring it back to life

It didn't grow back when
it was watered. How come?
Now what to do...thinking, thinking...

Noble is a big dog, but he just turned two a couple of weeks ago. It is my son's dog. He is a mutt lol - His parents were Bluetick Coonhound dog and Boxer, so those are the most dominant features. 

However, he is also Bulldog and Golden Retriever. Huh? Yeah, I know, I know - quite the combo.

For the longest time I kept calling him a Bluetooth Coonhound dog. Talk about "programmed", lol... 

I could not quite get used to Bluetick  (I think it is because I do not like ticks. Haha). I have it under control now - Bluetick coonhound dog.

We are not quite sure what is wrong. He limps he barely gets up. He finally ate today, but he will not drink water. He will eat ice cubes though. Praise God. He has an ear infection, and possibly stomach problems. Please pray if you are so led...until we can get him to a vet. 

His name is Noble because we wanted him to somehow honour the Creator - who gave him life, and gave him to us. People are frightened because of his deep, loud bark, and his size. But he is very gentle, not aggressive; does not go up to people and bark. They soon get over their initial fear when they see his demeanour is gentle and calm. Bless the Lord

Now, his getting sick is a major hindrance...a major distraction. He whimpers and cries out a lot, and needs much love and attention right now. It hurts to see him suffer;  one fights tears, but we serve an awesome God, and today there was a slight improvement, meaning - he ate, and took several ice cubes.

We will wait upon the Lord. Noble is such a good boy. God loves him even more than we do. I have peace in my heart. It is always good to get ourselves to the place of rest in Jesus. Amen


Wrapping It Up for Now

I will stop here for now just to post this much. I am so far behind…I have many file folders filled with topics, complete with links for work done by others. People put time and effort into their work. It is only proper to give credit where credit is due, and acknowledge the name of the contributor. 

The Lord is faithful. This so-called “revival” was/is not of God. Many believe it is, but no…not this one. Those of us who are the  more mature Christians long for the youth who are lost, or who are the prodigals, to come into the kingdom. 

With each generation, the middle-aged and elderly state that the youth are "the future", which is true. The cycle of life continues, from birth to the grave. Hope is always in the 'new', the 'youth'.

The elderly are supposed to possess patience and compassion, which come from long lessons of "learning to wait" teaches. With the ancient is wisdom, and with length of days comes understanding. [Job 12:12]

Those in the middle can glean from the youth because it was not so long ago for them, and they remember. Together, they can rejoice in their walk. They to find truth amidst all this deception, to find hope, understanding, encouragement, but mostly, loving acceptance . 

For the Lord to strengthen them, and ground them in truth.

And it is sad about this so-called revival, but God is not done. Satan is not the victor. Jesus  is…always! Emotionalism hit the globe - majorly. Let us continue to pray. There will be a  great falling away. Already we are witnessing it with the scandals that have been revealed in the past few years.

 I am believing the Lord to touch the hearts of those rejected, abused, misunderstood, abandoned, taken advantage of, given false hope, the prodigals, the searching...Your will be done, Father. Be glorified.

Familiar Spirits

Satan is a liar, a counterfeiter, a deceiver. He came to steal, to kill, and to destroy. Prayer is going up. The Lord may call for a fast. This is a heads up. I cannot say for sure, but it is a possible. 

He deals with us individually and corporately. Whether He leads me to fast and pray, and likely others (privately). He deals with us in wisdom, knowing the circumstances and individual situations. All is in His competent hands.

We are all going through a lot these days. It is a busy, chaotic time. We can wholly trust in Jesus, undoubtedly.

Delilah and Jezebel...these were two women who were likely very attractive seducing spirits. They were manipulative, and the men seemed to be quite smitten with them. 

Delilah betrayed Samson. He did not trust her at first, but she sweet-talked him into trusting her and for the love of money, she handed him over to his enemy...

Samson had wisdom, and was not easily manipulated. Yet, he loved her. It took Delilah several attempts before she successfully discovered his secrets. [Judges 16:18]

What is the Lord telling us by turning the spotlight on Delilah and Samson? Was it that Samson revealed his "secrets" [his "strong" points [strength]) to her? 

David and Bathsheba

King David and beautiful Bathsheba

David and Bathsheba, these are souls and their stories that were brought to my attention. King David was taken in by her beauty...he was a man in a position of leadership. 

Bathsheba's husband was taken out of the way. She was pregnant. It is a sad story...betrayal, deception, lust. So what is the Lord revealing?

I will likely have to fast further to find out why the Lord put this couple upon my heart. It is most troubling.

What is Israel doing that we may not know about, but God does? Why is the word judgment coming before my eyes with different scriptures. More on this in another article, but I am searching. I love Israel; it is because of their rebellion that I, as a Gentile, was able to come to Jesus.

Like I said, I have always stood by Israel because we are the wild branch grafted, but we cannot be caught up in the sins of Israel if they are once more rebelling or into idolatry.

We know that for the most part, they have not understood that Yeshua (our Jesus) is their Messiah. There are certainly Messianic Jews in Israel, but the majority of the nation has not accepted Jesus.

Also, and it grieves me to say this, but Israel has the largest PRIDE (gay parade) in the middle EAST, in Tel Aviv. 2024 was different, in that they had no parades due to the hostages still held by Hamas. June is Pride Month – Tel Aviv

What connection does Israel have with TPUSA because it was another reason that I did a seven-day fast - to pray. (I was very upset with myself for having doubts and suspicions regarding Erika. It still has not settled. I am learning more...

I posted it as hints a few weeks ago. It was well over a month ago that the Lord highlighted David and Bathsheba, and I broke down crying, not knowing why. Hindrances - distractions. Seducing spirits...warning, warnings!

Yahweh has raised His providential hand...be encouraged. Be strengthened.

Jesus/Yeshua has been training us, answering our prayers for increased discernment, for strengthening, for increased wisdom, and healing. We look eagerly for direction. Our arms open to welcome more into the kingdom of God. Think about it. All the angels rejoice over one soul, ONE soul who repents. Can you imagine what a party is going with many? 

Growing pains are never enjoyable, but the benefits are worth it. Critical thinking is something that needs to be combined with the Word of God and prayer. Let us keep trusting God.

Jesus never fails.

for His glory

PS This has been so frustrating. Constantly today my daughter wants to talk to me (she's 41), and every time I am doing stuff she comes in. I love my daughter, absolutely, but I feel today the interruptions have been so many, I think there has been some help on the spiritual side to 'hinder' me.

Rest in Your Heart and Mind

 

In the past month in every spare moment that I could manage, I have written over 40 pages (perhaps a little less at the moment) on "mental health", both from a secular and spiritual perspective.

My 'busyness' is partially my fault. I need to say 'no' more (it really IS okay to say 'no' sometimes, instead of always catering, always trying to be kind and thoughtful; sometimes that can be taken advantage of -- enough said) ...but much has been necessary with the move to a new province, combined with health (physical) matters.

And yes, there are portions that are definitely distractions, hindrances and/or roadblocks from our very real adversary. I am praying that the Holy Spirit will help me to be more disciplined and organized, instead of getting lost in a shuffle. That is not my usual way.

That being said, I'll continue... 

About twenty pages are in the 'queue'. The other twenty are still [very] rough draft. In doing research, in order to present helpful information from reliable sources, I was amazed at the availability of articles on the subject. 

I wondered how it was that "mental health" material (from news sites to videos, and even in email newsletters) was suddenly cropping up everywhere...

Then I discovered that October 10th is "World Mental Health Day" (a global awareness day), meant to draw attention to and support for mental health. It was first celebrated in 1992 in over 150 countries

I had no idea, and have never heard of it before. Neither have I ever seen posters. At any rate, as I wrestled with mental health issues, it was placed heavily upon my heart that multitudes of others were suffering too. 

This was confirmed by a close friend...once I "finally" mustered up the courage to admit that I was having problems. Like so many others, I was hesitant to tell anyone.

Okay -- I was afraid to say anything to anyone. After all, I am a Christian and I was under the impression, or rather, was living out the "consequence of false doctrines", that 'real Christians' did not suffer mentally, and if they did, they lacked faith. This is a bold-faced lie.

I realize that the timing is the Lord's - I also realize that others (not medical professionals, but fellow believers) have written about this, or given their testimony, as my research has revealed this to me.

My heart delights in the way the Lord works to BEGIN healing. O yes, I do know that He only has to say the WORD and we would be healed, but His ways are not our ways, and His wisdom is beyond our reasoning.

He can heal instantly, progressively, or not at all. It is our heart condition He is most concerned with, as He desires none of us should perish, but rather all to repent, be forgiven and to be with Him in eternity. [2Pet3:9]

It is so easy to forget that this life is temporal because our survival instincts are strong, unless we are truly off-balance and unwell. 

Yet, God cares deeply for us. Miracles happen every day - we just rarely hear about them...but we keep believing in miracles - and so we should because they do happen, ARE happening, and shall happen!

God did not stop performing miracles after the Bible was written. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. [Heb 13:8] It is just that we who are living in the latter [end] times are forewarned that false prophets will arise, and 'they' shall do signs and wonders.

We are told to test and to pray about everything. It makes me feel sick in my spirit knowing that even the false prophets are speaking 'certain' truths (if it will make them more believable), such as 'try the spirit to see if it is of God', and 'pray', and 'seek god' (small 'g' intentional because false prophets do not speak of the ONE true, living God).

Truthfully, without the Holy Spirit these days, we can easily be deceived and according to scripture, IF possible, we will be. The Lord alone will be the one to help us when things get so deceptive that it will be hard to tell the true from the false.

Don't believe me? How much history were we taught in school that we believed? How many times did ordinary people trick or deceive us? Never?

Snakes are hiding in tall grass; poisonous spiders wait quietly. We must be cautious and tread carefully.

Satan has his people, his 'ministers' everywhere, and they can be most attractive, or charismatic, or both. The dark side will count on PRIDE in people to deceive them. 

What do I mean? Pride would tell us, "Hey, I have the Holy Spirit; I won't be deceived." That is true IF we involve Him, but how often do we leave the Lord out of our decision-making?

If we do not obey scriptures that say to TEST EVERY spirit, or to PRAY about everything, and just assume we will 'know', then we are setting ourselves up, and the enemy will laugh.

I do not think that we can expect to catch everything the enemy is doing these days, not WITHOUT Jesus, or without the Holy Spirit's leading. Things are just too chaotic; too bizarre, too irrational and sudden. 

I myself need to sharpen my ways. There were things that we never used to have to bring to the Lord, but it is getting to the point where nothing is 'petty' anymore.

New habits need to be formed; disciplining ourselves must become consistent and far-reaching. Something to consider...

I have chosen to title the upcoming small series: Fragrance of the Healer


There is a folder that I have named "Domino Effect usage". I labeled it that because of the articles in it where the Lord used the word 'dominoes'.
The first article I placed in the folder was titled, "We Overcome (published in 2008). The Lord spoke of things happening, and it was the first time He emphasized dominoes to me (regarding things coming).

Excerpt (of We Overcome):

For they prepared their hearts for the 'suddenlies' and the unexpected

For He who loves His children will teach them, then test them. 

He will lead them and guide them. 

He will forewarn and protect them.  

Things that are coming will be positioned like dominoes, with intent, strategically placed, with precision. For He, who loves His children will teach them, then test them. Things coming will have the 'domino effect', but God prepares His people.

[End excerpt]

There are numerous articles the Lord gave me with prophetic words, which are to God's glory alone, not mine. The prophet Joel and the apostle Peter both foretold that God would pour out His [Holy] Spirit in the last days, and sons and daughters, young and old, would prophesy.

There are multitudes who claim prophetic messages today - some I discern are truly of God; others I do not. The Lord taught me (and often reminded me) not to believe every spirit (no matter how 'good' or 'Christian' one sounds), but to test every spirit to see if it was of God.

I have made my share of mistakes in discernment, but the Lord will teach us. We test the spirit by His written Word (Bible). It must align with what is written. [1Jn 4:1]

The spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus (meaning HE is the main focus - none other). [Rev 19:10]

He is exalted, not only for His sacrifice in willingly laying down His life for the salvation of mankind, but because He is God incarnate. He is our HOPE, our peace - our everything.

Below is a writing that I penned from the Lord nine and a half years ago. There is a part (over half way through) that speaks of - TRIBULATION - but I knew (at that time) that He did not mean the seven-year tribulation that the Bible speaks of.

But I wept as I re-read it yesterday because in this life we all go through tribulation. The word is defined as a time of: 'great trouble, anxiety, suffering, affliction, burden'. 

Yes, we all go through those times, especially in this darkened, sinful world. I have hundreds of articles. Therefore it is impossible to remember what each one is about simply by the title.

I wept because God is Sovereign, wise, not limited by time or space -- and always ahead of us like a Good Shepherd guiding us. I was in Georgia when I wrote this, having only been committed to the Lord about eight years. It was a time of tribulation for me - and discipline.

Fast-forward to now, almost 10 years later. It is another season of tribulation, but glory to God, I am not under His chastisement this time, but held by His great comfort and steadfastness.

If we are His, in 10 years we have grown, changed, become more like Him. If in 10 years there is no change in one who claims to be a believer, then it is merely lip service, and not heart dedication. That is what I believe. He works inwardly in us...renews our mind, creates a clean heart, renews a right spirit within us. [Ps 51:10]

The Lord has been so patient with me that it is truly humbling. He really does take the 'least likely'. In all things He is glorified. At this time, the physical pain I have known for a few years now has increased. It might be called a 'great tribulation'.

However, let it be known that it is NOT the great tribulation that the Bible speaks of. Many suffer [great] tribulation in matters such as the death of a loved one, through finances, careers, work, or through family troubles and struggles, whether mental, physical or spiritual... and more.

May the following message draw you closer to our loving Saviour (Messiah) Jesus/Yeshua. May comfort, peace and reassurance (hope) be your portion - and may the Lord be glorified.

What I would like people to understand is that all long messages are not typically done in one sitting. The message may come in portions over the course of hours, days (and occasionally) even weeks.

This one took from the early hours of the morning until early afternoon. The reason I remember is because the Lord was doing a work in me and it was not a comfortable season - it was a necessary one.

After six years in the United States, the Lord returned me home in 2014, being about seven months into the seventh year. Be as glad and grateful for times of discipline (chastisement), as well as times of comfort, hope and peace. 

Why? Because it means you are His child. [Prov 3:12; Heb 12:6]

Now to the message...shalom in Christ.

                      †

 May 15, 2013 - [o5.15.2013]


This is a long message. I have tried to divide it up with subtitles, so that those who prefer to take in a portion at a time can use the subtitles as a marker, so to speak. This came after prayer, early this morning. Even I had to read it more than once. I remember what it is about, and what the message is.

But it is the same as having a conversation with someone, say someone like you. After we part ways, I remember most of what is said, and the message or the 'gist' of our conversation, but it would be cool to go over it again, to see if I missed anything.

What the Lord says is meat to be chewed slowly. His wisdom is far beyond mine (my wisdom is foolishness to the Lord). One cannot compare the intellect of an ant to a human being. That is just a fraction of the ratio of our intellect compared to El Shaddai's (comparing an ant to a human).

I have no problem with people sharing this message...I am merely the envoy (messenger). It matters not to me if the website is given or not. It is not for my glory at all, it is to the glory of God (YHWH) alone. 

All I do ask is that you [please]:
[1] do not change anything (add or take away from it).
[2]  please do not be deceptive, pretending you got the message. Just humbly share that another of the brethren , who prefers anonymity at this time, received the message. They have granted permission for message to be shared by others to show the love and concern of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

My heart is that the Lord ALONE receives all glory, and secondarily that His people and all who take the time to read it will be strengthened and ministered to by the Creator, our King and Lord.  Bless the Lord; worthy of all praise, glory and honor.

   
 Trust Me with Your Life


Do not give up; neither be afraid. You know that your faith must increase so that you may endure to the end. Yea, you have prayed for increased strength and faith. You have pressed in, bringing all things to Me, keeping Me as your constant companion. You dig into My word, knowing that faith comes by hearing and hearing by My Word (the word of God)  I AM that I AM.


The circumstances around you are very real, impossible to ignore - raging waters, waves beating upon themselves in chaotic motion, blasting winds that show no mercy. 


Shall you be as Peter who began in faith, only to allow his eyes to acknowledge his circumstances, thereby defied and even nullifying his very faith? At first, Peter's faith was as that of a little child.  

He stepped out of the boat in faith.  Yet, his mind acknowledged the impossibility of walking upon the water and his mind declared the foolishness of his actions. 


Doubt stemmed into fear and the fruit of it blossomed into unbelief. A fiery dart of doubt pierced the mind of Peter. He took his eyes off of Me and looked around at the physical realm, heard the raging wind and saw it push violently against the waters; the reality of the circumstances were all around him.  "Lord, save me", Peter cried out.


In that moment of doubt, he began to sink - yes, the proverbial (and in Peter's case - the actual) "sinking feeling". As he cried out to Me in desperation (Lord, save me), swallowed up by fear and unbelief, I took a firm hold of him and placed him back into secure surroundings, out of the waters of the deep and the unknown.

Knowing that doubt mushrooms into fear and unbelief, I reproved Peter.  "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"  [Mat 14:31]  Do not doubt Me. 

Shall you be as Job who came to understand that all his good ways and good works availed nothing; that even his righteousness was as filthy rags? He came to realize that he too needed to be saved, so he repented and sought forgiveness from his holy and righteous God.

The Lord of the Battle

You must decide and choose wisely - to not be overwhelmed by the raging and the chaos all around you. Keep your eyes upon Me, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of Me.

[see 2Cor 10:5

Bring doubt into captivity, for doubt is the seed from which fear shoots forth and its fruit is unbelief.  I continue to remind you, for all My people have need of reminding.


Keep a repentant heart and stay humble before your Creator.  For by Me, you shall scale a wall and run through a troop.  My angels go forth at My command.  Have I not equipped you with armor?  Have I not taught your hands to war and your fingers to fight?



 Have I not taught you that the weapons of your warfare are not carnal, but mighty through Me to the pulling down of strongholds?  [2 Cor 10:4]


Have I not exhorted you saying that you wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness in high places. [Eph 6:12] 


Do you not believe or know that I AM the Lord of the battle?  Will you place your life in My hands and trust Me with the outcome?  No flesh desires to die, yet it is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment.  [Heb 9:27]


Death is appointed unto all, for the wages of sin is death. Yea, but I have overcome the world and hold the keys of hell and death.  Not even Satan himself can take you out before the time that I have appointed.  


Why fear death?  There are those who are Mine that are appointed to witness My return.  Those who are Mine that are not appointed to witness My return in the flesh shall be with Me. Fear not!  Set your mind on the things which are above and death shall have no dominion over you.


Great is My Love

Whether you live or whether you die, will you still praise Me?  All My thoughts are not known by man, nor is full understanding within his grasp, for My wisdom is beyond man's comprehension; My thoughts and ways are far higher than those of mankind.

Does an ant comprehend the thoughts and ways of a man?  Does an ant know the hour of its destruction?  Yet, an ant is part of My creation.  Lo, remember that man was formed in My image, unlike any other creation.


Come closer - deepen your intimacy with Me, for vast and deep I AM.  Trust Me as an infant trusts its parent, for I AM your Creator.  Great is My love for you.  Those who are Mine know that this world is not their home.  They are foreigners, aliens here upon the earth.


The spiritual realm is more real than the physical realm, yet even that is hard for many to grasp.  The physical realm is ever-changing, yet now the evil that has manifested in this world is ever-increasing.  Chaos and corruption, deception and hatred increase.


Deception and Strong Delusion  

 
Holographic light show-800 drones
- 2020 China -

Those who create the chaos plan to bring order, to rule as they so choose, to diminish the population and to destroy all that stands in their way.  They pretend to protect, but the intent is evil, the agenda very real. There are those who honor the leading rebellious fallen angel, who has convinced his worshippers that he is god.  He cares not whether you call him Satan or Lucifer, or the name of any other false god.

Satan's idea of creation - counterfeit man
AI - transhumanism

He cares only to carry out his own plan in which he rules as god. Great is his wrath; he knows no justice or mercy. As it is written, for a season, he shall have his way and death shall go forth at his command, but he cannot rule Me or stay My hand from protecting My own.

Apostasy increases daily, and the falling away from Me will astound and delight the masses. Deception and a strong delusion will overtake those who do not truly seek truth and one by one, multitudes will turn from Me, desiring and honoring their temporal lives more than desiring and honoring Me or the eternal.


The majority will not even realize that they are believing a strong delusion.  They will call evil good and good evil. They will believe the falsehoods that please them and reject truth, even hating the bringers of truth. 
Persecution escalates daily. Countries which have not known persecution are beginning to see and hear it - it shall increase steadily and powerfully. Many are and shall be martyred. Their blood shall cry out for justice. Thus it is written; thus it is true.

 Be at Peace  


Look not around you in fear.  Come to grips with the fact that this world is not your home. You shall overcome the evil one by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony; [you must] love not your life unto death.  My people are protected right up to and including their appointed hour.

Even he who penned My words for mankind, such as Psalm 91, eventually succumbed to death, yet with his life, he knew to trust Me.  He was protected as he continued in My will, right up to his appointed hour. He came to understand, accept and be at peace with the fact that this world was his temporal home.


Walk not in fear and unbelief - walk by faith and not by sight.  Walk boldly (strong) and confident (assured) that I hold you and your life in the palm of My hand.  My holy angels guard over you and all that concerns you.



 Trust your life to Me, fully confident that I care for My creation.  I care for you. Be at peace with not having all the answers, knowing that I AM Sovereign (fully in control). This world will not accept My people any more than it accepted Me. You will be hated, just as I was hated. The bringers of truth will be despised and called evil, possessed, a terrorist, one to be dealt harshly with. You need not fear.  I know the end from the beginning for I AM the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.

I order your steps. When the enemy comes against you like a flood My very Spirit shall lift up a standard against him.  So shall they fear My name from the west and My glory from the rising of the sun. [Is 59:19]

As I lead you and you obey My leading, you will walk unafraid.  You will have the peace that passes all understanding (a peace that the world does not give) and through Me shall your hearts and minds be kept by My peace. 

The Clash of the Kingdoms

 
vessels unto honour

I choose to work in and through My creation.  My chosen vessels of honor will complete the tasks they are given individually.  None shall take them out before their time.  Multitudes shall live to see My return. Be at peace.

Trust Me. Great blessings and miracles are coming, as surely as horror and great destruction are. It is truly the clash of the kingdoms. Fear not.  

 
My angels surround you, as surely as they did Elisha, even when his fearful servant could not see them.  They were revealed to the servant at Elisha's request. Keep in mind that even Elisha had an appointed hour to leave this world (earth).


Fear not.  Those who are Mine know and understand.  My word shall go forth and not return void.  It shall accomplish that which I please and prosper in the thing where I send it.  [Is 55:11]


Greater anointing (infilling of My Spirit - lamps filled with oilwill fall upon My people.  The people who know Me shall do the greater works; they shall be strong and do exploits, as it is written [Jn 14:12; Dan 11:32]


And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 
[Dan 11] That which has never been seen before shall take place.

As surely as multitudes will fall away, surely shall multitudes also come into the kingdom.  Be at peace.  Hold fast to your faith, no matter what you see around you, for all that you see is truly the clash of the kingdoms.


Abort pride and self-righteousness.  Embrace Me and cleave to Me.  Walk in trust and obedience.  Do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before me.  It is no mistake that you are here, for truly you were born for such a time as this.


Try Every Spirit 

 
There seems to be an 'epidemic' 
of false prophets and false shepherds

Do not be swayed by the words of man (no matter how eloquent).  Try every spirit to see if it is of Me. You do this by My Word, yea, but be wise, for Satan himself can appear as an angel of light.  His ministers likewise can appear as ministers of righteousness.

Satan and his ministers speak My word and counterfeit My works also, with mighty signs, wonders and miracles...so it is written.  Think upon Pharaoh in Egypt and the sorcerers (magicians) in the court of his palace.  Therefore, you must not only try the spirit by My word, but also bring it to Me in prayer.
read Zech 11:17 - remember the
'third eye' and the Illuminati symbology
wolves mingle with sheep - disguised
(see 2Cor 11:15)
 
You must seek Me in all things.  This is, in part, why the trials of your faith have been so severe.  Faint not in the furnace of affliction, no matter how intense the heat or the fiery flames. Know that I AM with you, purging the Body of Christ, readying My people to be united with Me.  I have been and am preparing My people for all the wickedness that is upon them and for the great tribulation that is here, ready to increase beyond imagination.

To have joy and peace in your heart does not mean that you walk around with a perpetual smile.  True joy is in knowing that you shall be with Me in eternity and that I AM with you even now.  


True peace is in being confident that your life is in My hands and that all the plans I have for you shall be carried out, as your life is surrendered into My competent hands, dying to self.  I ask only that My people be a willing vessel, empty of self and obedient in doing My will.


My will for you is perfect in every way.  I have created you for such a time as this, with plans for good and not for evil.  If I AM for you, who can be against? 


Faith versus Unbelief

we will NOT bow to your authority
We serve the one, true living God alone

I work all things out decently and in order.  My timing is not your timing, for I AM not bound by time or space; neither am I limited.  Those who believe I AM limited are not knowledgeable about their own doubt that has led to unbelief.  Many works are not performed due to unbelief.

And they were offended in Him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.  And He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.  

[Mat 13:57-58]

I will not work with unbelief, for it opposes faith and faith it is that pleases Me.  [Heb 11:6 Some say, 'I had faith, but still my prayer was unanswered.'  


To that I say, 'How do you know that it was not answered?  There are times that a prayer was not answered according to your will, but was answered according to Mine, which you disproved of.  There are times that you think it is unanswered, but just as Daniel, you must wait.
Selah

I have said that My ways are not your ways, nor My thoughts your thoughts.  When I was crucified, Satan laughed; evil men felt victorious and unbelievers mocked those who believed.


When I was resurrected, Satan hid for a season, evil men lied and brought forth deception, but many came to believe.  Those who believed already were strengthened in their faith.  Shortly after My ascension, the true believers were gathered together and were filled with My Holy Spirit.


Mankind will never know all things upon this earth; neither will mankind come to understand all things, despite their wisdom and their most valiant efforts.


A Bloody War with Many Battles - Prepare

  
spiritual battles are real
Satan has his 'feast' times also

Listen to those who I send your way. You will know those who speak on My behalf. Yet I caution you once again (and again, if necessary), try every spirit to see if it is of Me. Bring all things to Me. Stay closer to Me than ever before. Read My word; pray about all things. Watch and pray. Do not enter into denial, fear or unbelief. Keep on the full armor. Cast down imaginations, especially doubt. Walk by faith, not by sight.

You are in a bloody war. The intensity of this war has not yet manifested.  It is near at hand. The battles you have witnessed and the battles which you fought and are fighting are miniscule in comparison to that which is to come.
clone or impersonator?

Governments deceive their own people and many are those who believe them.  There is a plan that has been employed and has been at work since the days of Nimrod and the tower of Babel.  Yea, but the hatred towards mankind goes far back, even before the Garden of Eden. I have told you this before.

Fear not! This is what I have told My people from the very beginning - fear not! Freedoms are being taken; the people are becoming angry.  Soon they shall be enraged; rebellion rules the hearts of multitudes in every nation, within every tribe and clan and in every tongue. 
Sin is rampant across the world. Hatred, injustice and corruption are everywhere.  People point fingers at the innocent and the innocent are murdered.     

Justice and mercy have been forsaken.  Hunger and desperation shall sweep across the nations.  Fear shall rule and the hearts of men shall fail them.

 
Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego
We will NOT bow...we serve only YHWH
the one, true, living God

When facing Satan and his armies, or evil men, be as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in saying, 'whether our God delivers us or not, we will not bow to you'. Do not rise up in rebellion. Look to Me, for I shall direct your steps. Follow My leading. That is faith and trust in action - for the three Hebrew men understood that this life is temporal.  

They looked forward to spending eternity with Me (their God/Yhwh) and trusted their lives into My hands.  I delivered them after I walked with them in the fiery furnace. 


Their faith was tried severely.  They came through victorious, their earthly king came to see that no flesh was burned, not a hair was singed, nor did any of them smell of smoke. The king bore witness and acknowledged My power and through it all, I was glorified. This is where you also must be in your faith...faith as a small child.

As the three Hebrew men, as Daniel in the lion's den, as David when he faced Goliath, so must you also come to the place of complete trust, overcoming fear and unbelief.  

 

I shall purge you (and have been), just as I did Job, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, Daniel, David - and even as I did Peter. All of My people are purified and tried. Stand - Your life is in My hands. It is your choice to repent if there is need of repentance; your choice to surrender your life or not; your choice to believe and know Me; your choice to trust and obey.

Emptied Vessels Filled with My Spirit  

Jesus (Yeshua) the ONLY way
back to God

Those who have repented, surrendered their lives, who trust and obey are about to rise up mightily. They shall be vessels unto honor, indeed, doing the greater works, strong in doing exploits.

The clash of the kingdoms has begun. These are the latter days. The hour is late. Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth. Indeed, the devil has come down, having great wrath (anger, rebellion, hatred, power), for he does know that he has but a short time (an appointed season). 
The signs are all around you.

Prophecy is being fulfilled. Do not be deceived by signs in the sky or by creatures (aliens) unknown, for Satan and his armies are masters of illusion.  
Jesus the Messiah returns with a sword
coming out of His mouth (Word) -
Rev 19:15
not an arrowless 'bow' in His hand

Beware of  the counterfeit

Many will succumb to strong delusion, for they do not seek truth. (The truth is in the Bible.)

I AM (Jesus/Yeshua) the way, the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father but through Me. [Jn 14:6]
Indeed, try every spirit, every spirit, every spirit to see if it is of Me. Many false christs and false prophets have gone out into the world. Many are teaching doctrines of devils and the traditions of man.

Rejoice, knowing that My Spirit shall fill My people afresh to such a degree that even the demons will tremble. Yes, I in you and you in Me.  Emptied, clean vessels filled with My Spirit shall war against evil, and shall do mighty things. These are those who seek to glorify Me. Victory is in My hand.


I AM the Lord of the battle. You have come into the kingdom for such a time as this. I repeat this for you must come to understand the truth in it. Obey all that I ask of you (even in the small things). Endure the trials.  Praise Me in tribulation. I AM with you.


Stand back! Watch how I use you as a vessel unto honor, as a mighty instrument in My competent hands. Offer up thanksgiving and praise, for truly you are in the days that were foretold by Me and by the ancient prophets.


They would marvel to see these days unfolding, watching the prophecies that they spoke come to pass. All of creation groans. Rejoice; I AM with you.  Close your ears to all naysayers; close your ears to doubt, fear and unbelief; close your ears to those who condemn you for speaking truth, to those who say 'peace and safety' and 'love, love, love'.


Woe to those who are as vessels unto dishonor.  For when they say 'peace and safety', sudden destruction shall come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape.  [1 Thess 5:3]  


Yes, you must walk in love, but do not embrace sin along with the sinner. Even as I angrily turned over the money changers' tables, My love for mankind also rejected sin, injustice and unrighteousness.


Be a Holy People 


be holy = set apart (from the world
and its ways)
[1Pet 1:16]

Be holy (set apart) as I AM holy. Again I say, walk by faith, not by sight.  Believe and know Me, trust and obey Me and watch what I shall accomplish through My people, yes, even through you. Touch not My glory. Humble yourself and I shall lift you up.

Get it down into your heart; believe the words that I speak. Let My Word be written on the tablets of your heart; speak My Word
. Come to Me, yes, bring all things to Me. It is not doubt or unbelief when you bring all things to Me, to try the spirit to see if it is of Me; that is obedience to My Word. I honor obedience.

Allow no room for pride, self-righteousness (holier-than-thou), nor any religious spirit to be found in you. Crucify the flesh, daily picking up your cross to follow Me. Keep a repentant heart and continually forgive as necessary.


Know that you know that you know - believe My Word for this hour - that truly you were born for such a time as this. Do not concern yourself with death, nor fear it. 
Trust Me with the appointed time of your departure from this earth. Do not walk in fear and unbelief because of the chaos and evil around you. It is true that all My people have feared at some point in their lives, which is why I continually say 'fear not'.

The difference between those who fear and those who live in fear is that My people overcome fear.  Yes, flesh trembles at My presence but your heart must be at peace with Me.   

You should not be afraid of Me, but you should fear Me.  This sounds as a paradox, yet it is written that 'the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom'What did Moses speak to the people when they were afraid of Me?

And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove (test) you, and that His fear may be before your faces, that you sin not
[Ex 20:20]  

Sin is an abomination and all the unrepentant shall be judged.  Hate the sin, repent and be forgiven, for this reason, the blood of My Son was poured out.  Yet shall you continue in sin that grace may abound? [Rom 6:1 Exhort one another daily, while it is called today; lest any of you are hardened through the deceitfulness of sin[Heb 3:13]


 Trust Me for I AM with You
cleave to God through the cross 
through Yeshua (our Jesus)


Who knows if I have not chosen that you should witness My return, in all My glory, as it is written?  Just as Peter asked about John's demise, after Peter was forewarned of how he would die, My answer remains the same.  

If I will that he should tarry (remain) until I come, what is that to you?  Follow you Me.  [Jn 21:22]

Be at peace. Do all that I require of you. Rest in your heart and mind, knowing that all is in My hands; knowing that I love you. Be not impatient (My people can be so impatient). Wait upon Me. Wait, I say, upon Me. 
Be strong and of good courage. I will never leave or forsake you. Those who fall away leave and forsake Me. I do not leave or forsake them. They love their lives more than they love truth or Me.


Stand strong in Me, holding fast to your faith. 


Teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo, I AM with you always, even unto the end of the world.  Amen  [Mat 28:20]
