MANY will be deceived!

 

Unfortunately, I fear that Spielberg is right. MANY Christians who don't know their God, who are lukewarm in their faith, will fall for this great deception. The only way to stand firm is to know the Word of God well and the Writer of the Word intimately. His name is Jesus. 
Remember Jesus said the way to salvation is narrow and FEW find it. But the way to destruction is wide and MANY are on it.  (Matthew 7:13-14)
 

 DO not be deceived!

Summer is Near!

 

Saints, I truly believe we are still within a very high watch period, even though many high watch days have passed. There are many verses in Scripture that allude to a rapture (harvest) at or near summer.  

Check out the Ancient Hebrew Harvest Chart below and you can see that June is still considered a part of the wheat harvest.  In several other posts, I have contended that the bride is either barley or wheat. Both of which are still currently being harvested.  

 Ancient Hebrew Agricultural Harvest Chart (Approximate Gregorian Months-Hebrew Months) 

September – October Tishrei Ingathering / Fruit Harvest: The major grape vintage concludes and olive harvesting begins. Pomegranates, dates, and figs are also harvested.

November – December Cheshvan/Kislev Sowing: With the early "former rains" (yoreh) softening the ground, the planting of winter wheat and barley begins.

January – February Tevet/Shevat Late Planting & Pruning: Almond trees begin to blossom. Sowing continues, and farmers begin pruning vineyards and fig trees.

March – April Adar/Nisan Flax Harvest & Early Spring: Flax is pulled, and early ripening barley begins to turn light yellow (aviv).

May – June Iyyar/Sivan Major Cereal Harvest: The barley harvest takes place first (presented as firstfruits at Passover), followed closely by the wheat harvest (Shavuot).

July – August Tammuz/Av Summer Fruit Picking: Summer crops—such as melons, cucumbers, and summer figs—are picked. Vineyards are pruned for a second time. 

Astronomical summer starts at the summer solstice, when the Sun
reaches its highest point in the sky (maximum northern declination) and
daylight is at its longest. In 2026, this occurs on June 21, 2026, at 4:24 a.m

Before we begin looking at Scriptures, here's an interesting analysis of the word "Summer" in Hebrew. 
 
Summer is kayitz (קַיִץ).
The end is ketz (קֵץ).
 
While they are spelled and pronounced differently, these two concepts share deep linguistic and traditional ties:
 
In Biblical Hebrew, kayitz (summer) and ketz (the end) sound very similar, leading to prophetic wordplays (like in the Book of Amos, where a basket of summer fruit symbolizes the "end" of Israel, see below).
 
The End of the Year: Historically, summer was seen as the end of the agricultural year and harvest cycle. In the Jewish calendar, the year also concludes at the end of the summer season, right before the High Holidays in the fall.
 
Etymology: Some linguists suggest kayitz may derive from an ancient root related to cutting or gathering (as crops and figs are harvested at the end of the growing season). 

Cool, eh?

Now, let's examine some Scriptures that deal with Summer tied to the rapture 

The Shulammite replied, I went down into the nut orchard one day to look at the green plants of the valley, to see whether the grapevine had budded and the pomegranates were in flower.  Before I was aware of what was happening, my desire had brought me into the area of the princes of my people, the king’s retinue. Song of Solomon 6:11-12

The Shulammite here or The Bride goes down into the garden to see if the grapevine has budded. When does the grapevine in Israel bud? Usually May June.. and then they are harvested in the Fall. The pomegranates also flower around June as well. Then all of a sudden, Her desire brings her into the king's retinue!  Who is her "desire"?  Jesus is referred to as the "desire" of all nations in Haggai 2, among other passages.

Let's look at the next verse because it's super interesting

 I began to flee, but they called to me Return, return, O Shulammite; return, return, that we may look upon you! I replied What is there for you to see in the poor little Shulammite? And they answered As upon a dance before two armies or a dance of Mahanaim.

The Jewish women who have been part of the story in the Song of Solomon are calling after the Bride, asking her to come back!  I believe this symbolizes some of the Jewish people who realized that they were wrong about Jesus and they missed the rapture. The Bible says that the Church will make the Jewish nation jealous when they realize what has occurred.  Notice the reference to Mahanaim. Mahanaim is a place in Israel. Let's look at what happened there in the verse below.

But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim; And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel. Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David. 2 Samuel 2:8-10

Mahanaim is a place in Israel where a rebellion occurred against the true King of Israel (David at the time) and a false king was put in place. Sounds a lot to me like the Antichrist taking his throne.

More Scriptures!

Most of you know the story of Ruth and Boaz, the perfect foreshadow of Jesus our Kinsman redeemer and the gentile bride. 
 
Ruth 2:23 So Ruth stayed close to the women of Boaz to glean until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law

Now, In Amos
 
Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.  And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more. And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence. Amos 8:1-3
 
And Micah
 
Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first ripe fruit. The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. Micah 7:1-3
 
The rest of the chapter above goes on to describe what cannot be argued is the Tribulation

Then, the entire chapter of Jeremiah 8 is about God's judgement on faithless Israel. Here are the final verses
 
“The harvest is past,
The summer is ended,
And we are not saved!” 
For the hurt of the daughter of my people I am hurt.
I am mourning; Astonishment has taken hold of me.
Jeremiah 8:20-21

And of course this last famous verse when Jesus spoke about  
 
Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!  Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.  Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. 
 Matthew 24:32-35
 
MaryLu, are you saying the rapture must happen before or during summer? No. I'm merely pointing to Scripture that seems to indicate that harvest time in summer has a direct connection to the Tribulation as well as in some cases, the removal of the bride.
 
I hope this encourages you as we head toward the beginning of summer. Keep your heads up, your oil lamps full, and be about your Father's business. What is His business? Fishing. Fishing for lost souls. In what ever way He can use you!  Just make yourself available to Him.

Why We Are the Last Generation!


 Dear Saints,

I copied the following from a site on Facebook (which I cannot remember the name now. I think it was called Maranatha!)  Anyway, I thought the owner did such a great job of listing all the signs that are currently happening that are off the charts pointing to the soon return of Jesus! 

Enjoy.

 THIS IS WHY WE ARE THE GENERATION! 

Every generation since John wrote Revelation has wondered how chapter 13 could ever be possible. Rome couldn’t do it. Nazi Germany couldn’t do it. The Soviet Union couldn’t do it—not because they lacked the will, but because the technology didn’t exist. But guess what? IT DOES NOW! THE BEAST SYSTEM TODAY IS FULLY POSSIBLE! WE’RE ABOUT TO GO HOME, AND AFTER WE LEAVE, THIS WORLD WILL ENTER THE MOST HORRIFIC TIME IN ALL HUMAN HISTORY! KEEP LOOKING UP!!!

6 technologies and 8 prophetic signs no other generation has ever had—but OURS DOES! Buckle up!! 👇🏼

Let’s start with technology!
1️⃣ Gates Quantum-Dot Microneedle Patch — "Your Body Is the Barcode" Bill Gates/ May 2026

This is the most direct fulfillment of Revelation 13:16–17 ever created. A painless, Band-Aid-style patch that dissolves under the skin, leaving invisible quantum-dot nanoparticles—basically a permanent QR code storing vaccination status, batch numbers, timestamps, and more. Developed by the Gates Foundation and already tested. Once this is paired with global scanning networks (6G—keep reading), it becomes the ultimate ID system: no lost records, no identity theft, faster travel—and easy public acceptance.

⚠️For 2,000 years after John described a mark on the right hand or forehead tied to buying and selling, people imagined a tattoo or a chip—but those can be removed. Quantum dots dissolved under the skin cannot.

"It also forced all people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark." Rev. 13:16–17

2️⃣6G Rollout Accelerated Explicitly for Implantable Technologies:
The Trump administration isn’t just pushing for faster internet. In late 2025, President Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing America to win the “6G race,” explicitly highlighting its critical role in implantable technologies and body-connected devices. This is a game-changer!!
6G is being designed for “ultra-low latency, massive device density”, which means that is a technology fast enough to respond almost instantly while supporting enormous numbers of connected devices at the same time. Seamless communication with technology inside the human body. It turns the quantum-dot patch from a local experiment into a global, automatic verification system — no human checkpoints, no cards, no phones required.
⚠️This is the first generation in history with the ability to combine widespread 6G infrastructure with sub-skin biometric IDs, creating the kind of omnipresent, automated control described in Revelation 13:17.

3️⃣Neuralink Brain Chips: “Jesus-level technology” — Elon Musk/ May 2026
Elon Musk has openly (irreverently) called Neuralink “Jesus-level technology.” It can restore sight to the blind, mobility to the paralyzed, and speech to the mute. To the watching world, these will look like genuine miracles. But this is exactly what makes it so dangerous! The False Prophet won’t need divine power — he’ll use advanced neurotechnology to fake signs and wonders at scale.

“He performs great signs… and deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs.” Rev 13:13-14

Beyond healing, Neuralink + advanced AI could give the Beast real-time superhuman intelligence and allow him to create a living “Image of the Beast” — an AI version of himself that speaks, enforces worship, and identifies everyone who resists him.
No previous generation had the technology to fake miracles or create a speaking, responsive global image. WE DO NOW!

4️⃣UN Global Digital ID + King Charles / WHO Framework
The infrastructure for a one-world identification system is being built in plain sight. The United Nations is actively pushing legal digital identity for all 8 billion people on earth by 2030. At the same time, King Charles has thrown the full weight of the British Crown behind a national digital ID rollout in the UK — with the Commonwealth nations (56) likely to follow. Canada and Australia are also developing their own digital identity systems.
The WHO Pandemic Agreement creates the perfect mechanism to activate and enforce these systems globally during any declared “health emergency.”
This will most likely be the hub that puts all the pieces together, as national programs, international frameworks, and emergency triggers quietly converge into one interoperable global system. This looks like what Revelation 13 describes: a worldwide credential that can be enforced across borders.
“...and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” Rev 13:7

5️⃣ Project Blue Beam-style Holographic Technology:
Powerful lasers, massive drone swarms, satellites, and directional audio beams can now project giant, ultra-realistic 3D figures in the sky — complete with movement, speech, and even personalized voices speaking directly into people’s heads in their own language.
This technology makes it possible to stage fake signs and wonders on a global scale — It could be easily used to create the “ascension”, being thrown recently along with the new alien chatter. Or the False Prophet calling down “fire from heaven” in full view of the world, or projecting a speaking “image of the beast” that appears simultaneously across nations.

“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” Matt 24:24

6️⃣ CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies)
Programmable money that governments can track, control, and switch off for individuals who don’t comply.  
Unlike cash or even current digital banking, CBDCs give authorities the power to decide what you can buy, where you can spend, and whether you can participate in the economy at all. This is the perfect financial backbone for the “buy or sell” system in Revelation 13:17 — total economic control enforced by algorithm, not by force. 
No previous generation had a realistic mechanism for this level of financial surveillance and exclusion. Now we do!

SIGNS AND NEWS: 

1️⃣The Fig Tree Generation — The Clock Is Almost Out: Israel is back in the land (since 1948) and once again at the center of global attention—exactly as end-times prophecy has long pointed in.
 
2️⃣A coalition looking just like Gog-Magog in Ezekiel 38 (Russia, Iran, Turkey, Libya, Sudan) is taking shape in ways never seen in modern history.
 
3️⃣ Iran’s nuclear push is taking place, ready for the bow of Elam to be broken (Jeremiah 49).
 
4️⃣Isaiah 17—Damascus becoming a ruinous heap—feels closer than ever, one major strike away from fulfillment.
 
5️⃣“Peace & Security” talks and covenant discussions in the Middle East are moving closer to what Daniel 9 and Paul in 1 Thessalonians 5:3 warned about, unfolding in real time.
 
6️⃣Trump ordering full declassification of UFO files. A second batch has been released, with more expected. News outlets openly discussing “Nordic aliens who seeded humanity.” What generation had mainstream public conversations about aliens in this way? This is nothing but the strong delusion of 2 Thessalonian 2.
 
7️⃣June 1–4, the largest LGBTQ+ Pride event ever held in the Middle East
This is not just a cultural talking point. Jesus himself listed the "days of Lot" as a specific sign of the end in Luke 17:28–30. This geographic location is the same location where Sodom and Gomorrah took place. A Pride festival held in the valley that God destroyed with fire and sulfur, celebrating the very thing for which it was destroyed. This is major. The world is going full circle, celebrating sin in the very shadow of judgment.
 
8️⃣Pope Leo XIV unveiled his first AI-focused encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, last Sunday at the Vatican alongside Christopher Olah, co-founder of Anthropic. Religion, technology, and global influence are moving closer together—foreshadowing what’s to come: The Harlot riding the Beast!
 
MaryLu Here: Let me add a few articles that recently crossed my desk.
Saints! No prophecy teacher in any generation of history could have written this case with real news! Luther couldn't. Scofield couldn’t. Spurgeon couldn't. Not even Chuck Missler!!! But we can—because for the first time, the technology is real, the institutions are real, and the convergence of everything is happening right before our eyes in real time!!! THIS IS IT!! WE ARE THE GENERATION!!! KEEP PRAYING FOR THE LOST, KEEP PREACHING THE GOSPEL, AND KEEP LOOKING UP!!! WE HAVE NO TIME LEFT!!! JESUS IS AT THE DOOR!!!
Maranatha! 🤍Come, Lord Jesus, Come!!!

Insecure? Lacking Self-Worth?


 Dear Saints,

These passages from Ephesians have really helped me over the years. I copied them from the Amplified Classic and altered the pronouns to make them more personal. You see, I've always struggled with insecurity, believing I was unworthy, an odd duck who never fit in. Part of that came from me having an Earthly father who rejected me and wanted nothing to do with me, and a mother who, though she loved me, never really connected with me. Part of it then came from a multitude of rejections by kids, friends, boyfriends, and various people as I grew up.  Maybe some of you can relate. So, I make myself vulnerable here in order to share what has helped me. Read the following passage every day until it sinks into your soul and you begin to realize how precious and valuable you are to Father God. 

The enemy would love to keep all of us wallowing in our own insecurity and unworthiness. That way, we become ineffective for the Kingdom of God. Don't let him! Rise up and believe that you are a child of the Most High and have been adopted into His family as a precious son or daughter and hence, given all the privileges of royalty. 

I hope this helps you and blesses you as much as it has for me.  

Blessing be to You, my Father and my Lord Jesus Christ who have blessed me with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm!

 Even as in Your love You chose me in Christ before the foundation of the world, that I should be holy, consecrated, and set apart for You and blameless in Your sight, even above reproach, before You in love.

For You foreordained me to be adopted as Your own child through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of Your will because it pleased You and was Your kind intent. So that I might be to the praise and the commendation of Your glorious grace, which You so freely bestowed on me in the Beloved.

 In You, I have redemption through Your blood, the forgiveness of my offenses, shortcomings and trespasses, in accordance with the riches and the generosity of Your gracious favor, which You lavished upon me in every kind of wisdom and understanding, practical insight and prudence, making known to me the mystery of Your will, in accordance with Your good pleasure which You had previously purposed and set forth. 

You made me God’s heritage and gave me an inheritance; for You foreordained, chose, and appointed me beforehand in accordance with Your purpose, who works out everything in agreement with the counsel and design of Your own will, so that I, who first hoped in You, who first put my confidence in You, have been destined and appointed to live for the praise of Your glory!

 In You, I also have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings Gospel of my salvation, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on You, and was stamped with the seal of Your long-promised Holy Spirit.

Your Spirit is the guarantee of my inheritance, the firstfruits, the pledge and foretaste, the down payment on my heritage, in anticipation of its full redemption and my acquiring complete possession of it—to the praise of You glory.

And You made me alive when I was dead in trespasses and sins, in which I once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,  among whom also I once conducted myself in the lusts of my flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and was by nature a child of wrath, just as the others.

 But You, Lord, who are so rich in mercy, because of Your great love with which You loved me,  even when I was dead in trespasses, made me alive together with You and raised me up and made me sit together in the heavenly places right beside You. So that in the ages to come You might show the exceeding riches of Your grace in Your kindness toward me in Christ Jesus.  For by grace I have been saved through faith, and that not of myself; it is Your gift, not of works, lest anyone should boast.  For I am Your masterpiece, created by You for good works, which You prepared beforehand that I should walk in them.

MaryLu Here:  Keep these powerful passages close to your heart and on your mind. You are exceedingly precious in the eyes of the Lord. You are a child of the Most High God. Satan doesn't want you to know your worth or your power.  Look up to your Father and believe how deeply loved you truly are.

Time is Short! Don't be deceived!


 Dear Saints, 

This is a watchwoman warning.  

 Satan and his human pawns are deliberately revealing the evils of our current satanic system. The government corruption, the pedophilia, the voting fraud, the police corruption, the deceptions and lies, injustice in the courts, immigration takeover, homosexuality, transgender, and even the satan worshipers, the child sacrifices, occult practices, Burning Man, etc. They are revealing all this on purpose. Why? So people would rise up and demand change. 

In comes the Luciferian system, which will be presented as light and goodness and the solution to all this corruption and evil.The White Hats! The Republicans! The good guys!  But, it is the false light (2 Cor 11:14). All the evil we see and the solution that will come are just two sides of the same devil, in which Lucifer will be presented as the victor.  Think about it. They couldn't come at you with a savior who has horns and a pitchfork.  They come at you with a savior who is good, kind, and just. The one who can solve all the world's problems.

And we are being perfectly set up for it right now. Even the so-called "truth" movement.. the white hats, the people "exposing" the darkness. Many of these truthers are leading people into adopting a mystical new age worldview in which gnosis (knowledge) is presented as the path to salvation.

David Spangler called this the “Luciferic initiation” and Occultist Alice Bailey called it the “externalization of the hierarchy.” It was also Bailey’s “mentor” Helena Blavatsky who said all things public are intended to be public. In other words, they are not exposing anything that they don't want exposed. It's all intentional

Occult forces believe that through the chaos and disillusionment of the ‘externalization’ phase, a new world religion paired with a new system of governance will arise from the ashes

Don't fall for it. 

Yet so many are doing just that, and many well-meaning Christians. 

Case in point, the recent Rededicate 250 freedom conference this last Sunday at the National Mall in D.C. I had Christian friends contact me about going and praying for the event and the rededication of America to the Lord. 

Yet look at the speakers. They are NAR pastors, Rabbis, Catholic bishops, even actors, all appearing under a Christian umbrella. If you've followed me here for long or if your eyes are wide open, you know that Catholicism is not Christianity and NAR believes in a false doctrine, and of course Rabbis hate Jesus, so what is going on here? This is the beginning of the One World Religion, which will have nothing to do with the real Jesus. 

Many of the individuals who spoke at this event have used the name of the Lord God in vain for political/monetary gain, oppressed the foreigner and the poor, and sown division and deception, all while claiming America is inherently “Christian”

More so, these individuals (whether they know it or not), are actually doing the bidding of the enemy, priming the world for the new age religion where all faiths are consolidated into one and made “equal” with one another. 

In case you aren't aware, are new here, or forgot, America (which comes from the word Amaruca, which means Plumed Serpent) is not a Christian nation. Yes, thank God, there has always been a strong Christian element here, but our nation was not founded on the God of the Bible, but on another god. 

Please please, click over to my blog if you aren't there already and watch this short video I'm posting below.  It's just 2.5 minutes long.


 

 


 Just thought I'd throw this in here below.. Just FYI

A chilling 2018 patent from Rockefeller University has resurfaced, revealing a system using engineered nanoparticles and radio waves to activate and control individual human cells on demand.

This "Nanoparticle Induced Circuit Excitation" (NICE) technology heats tiny magnetic particles inside the body via external radiofrequency fields, triggering gene activation, hormone release, neuron firing, and more—potentially turning biology into a remote-controlled network.

What was presented as medical breakthroughs for diabetes, Parkinson’s, and chronic pain now raises urgent alarms about the terrifying potential for manipulation and loss of bodily autonomy

Whoops! Looks like they created a MRNA vaccine for Hantavires LAST YEAR!  


 Wonder how they knew?

Video below from our old friend Elon. Click to see on Blog


  Elon Musk gave a special interview to Forbes on Tuesday and said VERY profound things. 

Elon Musk says that in the VERY NEAR future, humans will have chips implanted directly into their brains, creating a brain-machine interface capable of giving people “CYBERNETIC SUPERPOWERS.”

Musk says the technology will restore eyesight, allow paralyzed people to walk again, and even help the mute to speak.

He described the coming breakthroughs this way…“These are kind of JESUS-LEVEL things.”

“When TECHNOLOGIES are getting (to be) JESUS-LEVEL MIRACLES, you’re like, yeah,  THAT’S PRETTY GOOD.”

For false Christs and false prophets WILL ARISE and WILL SHOW great signs (divine authority) and wonders, so as to mislead/DECEIVE, if possible, even the elect.
— Matthew 24:24

DECEPTION. 
IT’S HERE.

Another video from Elon about what's going to happen with your money and your jobs 


 And then this happened,


 Enough for today.

I just felt pressed to post these things. Time is so very short. My job is to wake up the church and prepare the Bride.  Please share with whomever you can, for the days are evil. And we are almost out of here!

Christianity in a Nut Shell


 Saints,

I'm back from my travels... and I intended not to post anymore this month, but in my Bible reading this week, the Lord impressed on me to share the following 2 passages. One is from a prayer of King Solomon as he dedicated the Temple, and the other is the Apostle Paul. In each passage spoken by men thousands of years apart, the entire purpose of a follower of God is spelled out so clearly.  Solomon, the wisest man ever to live didn't mention sacrificing bulls and goats and sheep and keeping the entirety of the law. No. He spoke the same words as the Apostle Paul 1000s of years later. 

 Know the God of your father, have personal knowledge of Him, be acquainted with, and understand Him; appreciate, heed, and cherish Him. Serve Him with a blameless heart and a willing mind. For the Lord searches all hearts and minds and understands all the wanderings of the thoughts. If you seek Him, inquiring for and of Him and requiring Him as your first and vital necessity, you will find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever! 1 Chronicles 28:9

For my determined purpose is that I may know Him, that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly, and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection which it exerts over believers, and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed in spirit into His likeness even]to His death, in the hope That if possible I may attain to the  resurrection out from among the dead even while in the body. Philippians 3:9-10

The Entire purpose of mankind is to know Jesus personally and intimately. It's not just a "belief" in Him. It's a knowing of Him, as in you know His personality, His sense of humor, His mercy and love. You sense His presence, hear His voice. 

Then, out of that relationship, your desires change. You no longer want to live for yourself. You live to please Him. That's Christianity in a nut shell. 

And yet so many "Christians" miss it entirely.

I heard it said recently that prayer is 25% lifting up your requests to the Lord, 25% Worship and praise, and 50% being quiet and listening for His voice. 

As we approach the Rapture and Tribulation, be sure you know Jesus as an intimate friend and Lord of your life. In the end, that's all that matters!

 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.
Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name?
And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands]. 

Matthew 7:21-23

These people believed in Jesus. They believed in the power of His name and did good works in His name. Jesus didn't say that they tried to drive out demons. No. They did drive out demons and they did prophesy and they did "mighty" works in His name. Obviously, they believed in Him. 

Belief isn't enough. The word KNEW in the passage is a Greek word that means an intimacy... even as far as sexual intimacy. It is a knowing, an understanding, a personal relationship.  

I'm stressing this because I believe time is so very short. Get alone with Jesus and come to know Him personally. Sit at His feet and adore Him! He's worth it!
