The Last Lap is Always the Hardest!

Dear Saints, 

I know many of us have been going through trials and struggles as we approach the finish line. I am no exception. Here are just a few trials I've been going through just in the past few months. One family member diagnosed with Stage 4 liver cancer, another with malignant melanoma, another family member has died, another went through major surgery, another now has potential colon cancer. Then there's the attacks by other family members against my beliefs. I'm not saying all this for pity. I'm actually hoping it makes you all realize that you are not alone in whatever you are going through. The devil probably knows which of us will be leaving soon, and he's doing his best to get us to drift from the Lord or turn from Him so we'll be left behind. 

There's one particular stubborn family member who claims to be an atheist. He actually brought up the topic of God the other day because he discovered an old friend of his was a Christian. However, this opened the door for me to simply say that I'm happy to answer any of his questions.  He's been very rude and angry in the past whenever the topic of God comes up, which also makes no sense. If God doesn't exist, why is he so mad about Him?  Anyway, I'm going to post a portion of his email to me below and add in the answers I would send to him if he was open to them. Why am I doing this? Just in case you are faced with similar complaints and questions about the Bible... then perhaps you can use the answers I gave. My answers are in BLUE

I was a huge believer in my early 20s ....I read most of the bible. I didn’t finish but I read almost all of it word for word. There is no way I will ever go back. You just saying you let the holy spirit in and now you “understand” the bible is brainwash. It really saddens me that society has bought into this nonsense. Scholars wrote this. Suppression, control, fear of death. Take your pick.

 I mean God is all knowing right? So, he knew Eve would eat the Apple…

Yes, He knows everything because He is outside of our time. He sees the beginning and the end. And yes, He knew Eve would eat the Apple. But God's plan is to have children. He wants people to become part of His family. He wants tons of kids. But He doesn't want kids who are robots and only choose Him because they have to. He wants kids who love Him and choose Him willingly. We are very much like Him. We don't want people to love us because they are forced to. We want people to love us for us.. by choice.  So, God allowed His enemy to tempt Eve and yes, He knew. And because He knew, He already had put a plan in place to rescue mankind from His enemy and give them a way to end up with God forever. 

We aren’t supposed to eat Pigs? Shrimp? This is in Leviticus if I remember. Guess I am going to hell lol

Yes. God put certain diet restrictions on the Jews because He needed them to remain healthy and strong.  In the Old Testament there were clean and unclean animals and God commanded the Jews not eat the unclean. However, in the New Testament, that restriction was removed after Jesus rose again. So, no, you aren't going to hell for eating Shrimp or pigs. Much of your comments here are from the Old Testament. Testament means covenant or look at it like a legal agreement. The New Testament changed many things. It became the new agreement. 

What was it, Samuel said God ordered the killing of all the Amalekites, and specifically mentioned women children and infants as divine justice. Right okay, totally. 

I know it sounds cruel. But you must understand that at that time, all the nations in the land of Israel had their DNA corrupted.  Back in the time before Noah, the Fallen Angels (those angels who rebelled with Satan in heaven and were cast down to the Earth) mated with human women and they produced offspring we call Nephilim. Part angel/part human.  They actually were huge.. giants who caused so much death and destruction and evil on the planet, that is why God sent the flood. Anyway, this corrupted DNA was rampant among these nations, and yes, even in the animals. God's ultimate plan was to send Jesus who would sacrifice Himself for the sins of ALL the people who will ever live.. so that we could all be saved. But God needed to send Jesus through a human line that was uncorrupted.  It had to be purely human DNA, because Jesus was only coming to save humans, not any hybrids. That was the entire reason God chose Abraham and the Jews to be His special people. He needed them to follow Him and be pure so He could then bring Jesus in through their lineage. SO, that's why He ordered all of certain tribes of people killed, even their animals, because if the Jews had kept them alive and intermarried with them, their DNA would have been corrupted.  God's whole purpose for Israel was to bring Jesus through them so the entire world would be saved. 

One more thing to know. These nations surrounding Israel were pure evil. They performed horrendous satanic rituals of child sacrifice and torture and had giant orgies with all sorts of perversions. These were not nice people. God could not risk them influencing the Jews.

How about slavery, Slavery is OKAY!  Wasn’t it Abraham who purchases slaves too? Or oh yeah there is that one verse too that says you can beat your slaves as long as they don’t die after a couple of days. I mean come on!!

Slavery was a very common practice in those days. All the nations had slaves and in many cases, it was not like the slavery we think of today. They were more like employees or servants.. and many became a part of the family they served. The Bible contains complex and historically debated texts regarding slavery. While it never explicitly abolishes the practice, it heavily regulates it, sharply condemns the kidnapping of humans, and introduces theological principles that ultimately fueled the global abolitionist movement. In the case you're referring to, the master was to be punished if the slave died. That was unheard of across the world at that time. We see just a few verses later that if the master even knocks out a slave's tooth, the slave is to be set free. At this time, such instructions were unheard of. 

In the New Testament slavery is treated much differently, sharply condemning the practice of slave trading.

I think you'll find out that God cares much less about our lot in life here on Earth than He does our ultimate salvation so we can be with Him.

Stoning a woman for not being a virgin on her wedding night? But no mention of Men cheating LOL this is hilarious. Men clearly wrote this haha.

The men were punished as well. Read Deuteronomy 22:Verse 22 and onward. In the New Testament Jesus released a woman caught in adultery and prevented them from stoning her.   

 

I could sit here and remember all the stupid things I read and all you will do is find some sort of justification or “understanding” for them because you believe so much in God. Because that is what faith is. Believing in something even if it sounds like complete nonsense.

The Bible says that the things of God are foolishness to those who don't believe. 

 

If there is a God, and one day I die and end up at the gates and he says well you were a really good person, cared for others, lived your life with good morals, cared for thy neighbor… but you didn’t believe in me and didn’t repent your sins before death, and you ate some shrimp, go rot in hell! How does this make sense. Lol   

The fact you even say this says to me that you have no understanding of God or the Bible at all. None of us can ever be good enough to enter Heaven. Think of the most kind and good person you know... and realize that all those good things they did will matter if they don't know Jesus. Why? Because we all sin. From birth, we lie, cheat, cuss, betray, steal, sleep around, etc... We are all born with a sin nature. Why do you think Jesus had to come? He's the only one (because he was the only human without sin)  who could pay the price for each one of us. God is not a bully. He doesn't want to send anyone to hell. But He is so holy that He cannot be in the presence of sin. Or rather WE can't be in His presence in our human condition. We would be incinerated by His holiness. So God had to cleanse us. He had to get rid of our sin... and He did that by sacrificing His only Son. Jesus paid the price for you and for me to enter into heaven for all eternity. All we have to do is accept His Sacrifice, Repent of our sins, and submit our lives to Him. It is a free gift, but it will change everything. Once you do that and the Holy Spirit comes to live within you....then He (The Spirit) helps you become a new person. He teaches you, leads you, comforts you, even punishes sometimes. He helps you become more like Jesus. It's the most wonderful thing in the world. Do we still sin? Yes, but hopefully over the years, less and less and never on purpose over time. So, it doesn't matter how good you are, how moral or that you ate shrimp or not. It will only matter if you know Jesus, submit to Him and have a relationship with Him. That's what will open the doors to heaven. 

 

Now imagine for one second that God doesn’t exist. And that it was all written by scholars for any of the reasons I listed above. And then spending your 1 life you have in this tiny existence of an infinite universe believing in something that isn’t even real. That is me.

Actually, Scientists now believe the universe is finite... which is just more proof of God. But God is real and the Bible is true, and Jesus is my life, my Lord, my King. How do I know this? Because I talk with Him and He talks back. He lives within me and He has changed my life and changed me from a selfish, immoral, angry, insecure woman to who I am today.  No one can ever tell me Jesus is not real because I know Him. I would die for Him. Unfortunately it is you who have been brainwashed and who is spending your life believing a lie. 

 

END OF EMAIL.  I never sent him my answers because the Lord told me he wasn't ready to receive any truth. So, I wait and pray... Been praying for this particular person for over 25 years!  But I'm confident he will one day be saved.

NEWS 

Below, I'm listing some articles I came across that I thought were important. They are in no particular order, but just things you may not have seen yet.  

First thing I want to mention is this Peace Agreement Trump announced yesterday. Look at the wording... "Peace and Security".  I don't think this is the 7 year covenant... but it is getting closer to it!

 Finally, as I've mentioned before and several commenters have also mentioned, here's a couple videos on the Noahide Laws. There is a huge meeting this coming November in Jerusalem.  Notice this is not just for Israel, this is GLOBAL.  Our own congress has already signed an agreement with these laws back in the 90s.  You may think this has nothing to do with you, but it has everything to do with everyone on the planet. Many Christians will hear these 7 laws and think they are GREAT and Godly, but hidden within them is the law they will use to behead followers of Jesus. This is very prophetic, and a huge step forward into the Tribulation.

I hope and pray you all are staying close to Jesus and keeping your lamps full of oil (the Holy Spirit) and weathering the storms. Keep praying for those God puts in your path! You never know when He might use you to drag someone out of the fire! 

Praying for you all...

 

 

 

Seek His Presence Not His Presents!

Dear Saints,

A quick post here about something I'm learning in my walk with Jesus that I think may help others as well. When I first got saved and for many years, I would spend hours in prayer. I'd pray for my lost loved ones, for my job, for the health of others.. for my marriage, etc. For many things. And yes, we are supposed to take our requests before the Lord. The Bible encourages us to cast our cares on Him and to spend time in prayer. The Bible says that the prayer of the righteous is powerful!!  

But what exactly is prayer? I know I've mentioned this before, but is prayer just us coming before God with a list of requests? Or is it a time of two-way communication? Believe me, it's not easy (especially for an ADHD person as myself) to sit still and listen for the voice of God. But the Lord wants to talk to us as much as we need to talk to Him. 

The thing I'm learning is that we don't need to come to the Lord daily with our lists of requests and needs. GOD already knows everything about us, every struggle, every trial, every heartache, every need, every health or money or marriage or kid issue. He already knows the deepest desires of our heart.

So, how about if we just come into His presence and just hang out with Him? How about we read the Bible while talking to Him about what we are reading? How about we just put on worship music and instead of listing our requests, just worship Him for 15 minutes, a half hour....whatever time we have. How about we seek His face as our greatest need, His tangible presence as our greatest desire? 

You know what I'm learning happens? The more time we spend just worshiping and listening to His voice, the closer we get to Him. And the closer we get to Him, the more His glory shines on us. And the more His glory shines on us, all our prayers get answered, our needs get fulfilled, our body gets healed, and we end up with more joy and hope than we ever had. 

In His Presence is the Fullness of Joy!  You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11 

God knows your needs. He promises to answer all your prayers for your good and His glory!  So just hang out with Him and get to Know Him and let His power and love flow over you. 

I'm not saying never to bring your requests before the Lord in prayer. It's good that we do. For me, it gives me great peace. All I'm saying is spend more of your time just hanging with Jesus. You'll soon find that in His presence, all your prayers will be answered.

 My presence and My manifestation are far more important than the answers you pray for. 

 I'll leave you with this verse from  2nd Esdras 4: 34  that leapt out at me concerning the soon coming rapture

Don't hurry faster than the Most High, for your haste is for your own self, but He who is above hurries on behalf of many

God has an appointed time when He will come for His Bride. You cannot hurry Him by impatience or complaining. His main concern is saving souls!! And it should be ours too! Always remember that!

 

 

 

Can a Christian fall away?

 

 Many Bible teachers and preachers teach that a Born again Christian cannot backslide or lose their faith despite how the Bible clearly tells us this. I found this list online and just couldn't help myself but post it. I have unsubbed from countless you tube, Instagram, FB, and other pages and channels (even though some give good reports) because the person preaches that you can not walk away from God once you are saved. I truly believe this is a very dangerous doctrine that will lead many to hell, among a host of others. Be careful with your faith. Your salvation is a precious gift that we must then work out with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12)  God does not remove your free will once you get saved!

16) Deliberately go on sinning and no longer have a sacrifice for sins (Heb. 10:26-27)
17) Shrink back (Heb. 10:38)
18) Fail to obtain the grace of God (Heb. 12:15)
19) Wander from the truth (James 5:19-20)
20) Forsake the right way (2 Peter 2:15)
21) Become entangled and overcome AFTER having escaped them (2 Peter 2:20-21)

Time is short! Warn others. Stay close to Jesus!  

 

 

The Chess Board is All Set!

Dear Precious Saints of the Most High,

I hope you all are doing well as we wait for our Lord's return. There is so much news happening and so many prophetic events occurring that my mind just spins. I imagine most of you have been keeping up with things so I have no need to report on them here.  

Technology is advancing at exponential levels. They are now staring to put full working robots in people's houses to do the cooking and cleaning. I even saw one news article that said that a robot is teaching in elementary school. AI centers are going up everywhere, including not far from my home. People in my neighborhood are protesting, but not for the reasons you might think. For the noise and the fact that our power bills will skyrocket while this center consumes most of the power and water in the area. 

 This is the Beast System, folks. It will power all the AI bots and Flock cameras and car cameras and digital readers necessary to keep track of every person on the planet. 

Along those lines, I wanted to point out this patent below for Smart Dust.  

US Patent 11354666B1, assigned to Wells Fargo, describes using "smart dust" to verify payments. Smart dust is a set of tiny, wireless sensors. The sensors float in the air to collect biometric data, audio, or temperature. This confirms your identity when you buy something. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

How it Works

1. Trigger: You start a payment at a store.
2. Release: A base station releases tiny micro-sensors into the air near you.
3. Data: These sensors scan your face, voice, or body patterns.
4. Match: The sensors send this data back to confirm it is you.
5. Approve: The payment goes through only if you match the data. [1, 2]

Patent Link

 

Who on Earth thinks this is a good idea? Do you want to walk up to your bank and get scanned by sensors so small you can't see them?  Anyway, here we are.

Add to that the flock cameras I just mentioned and how they Are Building a GPS Tracker for Every Car 

 

Then we have the war exploding in the Middle East. I believe the Psalm 83 War is about to commence. Yes, we are also expecting the Gog-Magog war of Ezekiel 38, but this Psalm 83 war might have to happen first. Then the Daniel Covenant and THEN Israel will be living in peace. They have to feel safe for the Gog-Magog war to happen. 

 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. Ezekiel 38:8 

Read Psalm 83. The nations who come against Israel are as follows (As best as I can tell)  Jordan, North Africa, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq and Iran.  Seems like all these nations are swinging their swords at Israel right now. 

Have you noticed all the Earthquakes? And big ones. Not just little shakings, but huge. Of course they are saying the REALLY BIG one is coming here to CA. And I have no doubt it will one day soon. I don't worry. For to me, to die only means I'm with the Lord sooner! 

We hear rumors of various deadly diseases as well. Then of course the great falling away of the Christians.. many who are now being led to the slaughter by various wolves in sheep's clothing. I've spoken many times here about all the false doctrines out there. 

And as the love of many grown cold? Can you believe the violence in our cities? The gross and rampant immorality. I saw a video recently of a preacher in the UK arrested for preaching against homosexuality on the street. They put him in handcuffs and hauled him away. The Bible is considered hate speech in Canada. 

With the Strait of Hormuz closed again and the coming war, gas and food prices are sure to rise even higher. All this while many people are being laid off from jobs that are being taken over by AI. 

This is all setting up for the Tribulation. In fact, they have everything all ready. All they need is for us to leave. We are the Restrainer, our presence here with the Holy Spirit within us, we are keeping the full tsunami of evil from crashing ashore. 

All they need is a huge disaster.. a world war.. or an alien invasion to create terror and chaos across the globe, then they can bring in their "savior" who will appear in the sky and proclaim he is Jesus and so many Christians will fall for it. Why? They don't know their Bible. They don't know anything about end times, and their pastor will lie and tell them it is actually Jesus.  Of course, by then, we will be eating at our wedding banquet, which I, for one, am looking forward to immensely! 

I do not know when the rapture is. I do not listen to people who predict certain dates. I'm sure many are well-meaning, but for me, it only causes frustration when days pass. However, the Bible says we will know the season, and we are in it. 

The main question is NOT when the rapture is, but are you going? Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus? Do you speak with Him daily and listen for His replies? Are you led by His Spirit. Romans 8 tells us 

 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, verses 14-16  

This is how you know you are saved. 

The warnings have gone out! The Lord will soon call His Bride home. Stand fast and firm and keep looking up. 

I wanted to direct you all to a You Tube Channel, Mission For Christ, I came across recently. There you'll find several videos with interviews with Phillip Barnett, who is a pastor and prophet who has prophesied many things over the years that have come true. The Lord has told him a great deal about what is coming, and I've listened to several of his videos and find that he preaches the True Gospel.  He put out a prophecy back in 2007 about Russia attacking Ukraine when both those countries were allies. I forget the name of the prophecy. But he has also given many prophecies about America and also what is coming on the world. I'm pointing it out to you because you may find what he says very interesting. 

Last Word from the Lord: Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.  Wait, Watch and Worship.  That's what you should be doing now. 

Blessings to you all!  

 

 

 

Jesus is not Seeker-Friendly

  Now, before you click away, I am NOT saying that Jesus doesn't love mankind, that He doesn't want everyone to be saved. That He doesn't seek and save the lost because we know He does. What I'm saying is that Jesus makes zero compromises with both His character and His Word in order to save someone. Nor does He sugarcoat or water down His Gospel in order to lure people in. Let's look at a few of Jesus's own Words:

 

Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’and a man’s enemies will be those of his own household. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.  Matthew 10:34-37

 

And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake, but he who perseveres and endures to the end will be saved  Matthew 10:22

 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.John 15:19

And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 10:38-39

And He said to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself [disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also].  Luke 9:23 Amp

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matthew 7:13-14

Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matthew 7:22-23
 

You serpents! You spawn of vipers! How can you escape the penalty to be suffered in hell  Matthew 22:33

Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. John 15:20

 

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”  John 16:33

Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. Matthew 24:9

And let's not forget how Jesus MADE A WHIP and turned over the merchants in the temple and whipped them. 

 

When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. John 2:15 

 

These are not very seeker-friendly verses, are they? Jesus always sought out those who were truly seeking Him and truth, but He was quick to reject the hypocrites and those who weren't serious about knowing Him. He is the same today. 

 

I used to attend a church that was small and the pastor really had a gift for Bible teaching. But he was young and he gave up the church to a bigger organization who quickly absorbed our little church. They shoved this pastor into an office job and started a Seeker-Friendly church in our area. My husband and I quit going.

 

That young pastor said once in his sermon:  "Salvation is Free, but it will cost you everything!"  I love that. Yes, salvation is a free gift. We are saved by grace alone! But once we get saved, living the Christian life will cost us. As is EVIDENT in the verses above. Being a disciple of Jesus has a high cost, but you rarely hear about that cost in church these days. Especially not in seeker Friendly churches. You won't even hear about end times, for fear that it will frighten people away.

 

Jesus had no problem with frightening people away!  He spoke the truth. If you follow Him, truly follow Him, it will be hard!  You will be hated, ostracized, belittled, and even persecuted. It will cause family problems. You will have to deny your fleshly desires and be obedient to Him and His Word. it is a life of submission, denial, and humility. And you will have trials and struggles!  But pastors either don't know this or they refuse to speak the truth because then they'd lose people... and people bring in the money.  Or maybe they are truly afraid that some people will walk out and never get saved. But should unbelievers even be in church in the first place? 

 

That same seeker-friendly church I mentioned above only preached a Teddy Bear loving Jesus and they gladly welcomed unrepentant homosexuals and immoral people into the congregation and even to serve in ministry. Why? They said it was on the hope they would eventually get saved.

 

But is that how real church should be? Real church, according to the New Testament, is where true believers come to fellowship, worship, and use their gifts to help each other grow in the faith... to be discipled. There should not be any unbelievers there, or especially any people living in willful sin. Paul in 1 Corinthians 5 told the church there to kick out a man who was part of their congregation because he was sleeping with his mother in law. Paul told them to "deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus."  

 

As I mentioned in my last post about the "sinner's prayer", church was never meant to be in auditoriums where people were spectators and all the responsibilities fell to the pastor. The church in Acts met in homes where everyone could participate and use their gifts for the edification of all the believers. Then these Christians went out in the world to preach the Gospel to their neighbors and friends and when they led someone to the Lord, they would bring them to the church gathering where they could be discipled.  That's how it is supposed to work. That's what I see in the book of Acts and throughout the New Testament.

 

Jesus was not seeker-friendly. He did not sugarcoat the cost of following Him. He did not tolerate apathy or lukewarmness or hypocrisy. He did, however, gladly welcome anyone who truly wanted to know and follow Him.   

 

 

 

 

Everyone, Bow Your Heads and Close your Eyes

  "With no one looking, those of you who want to receive Jesus, quietly raise your hand. Ah yes, I see you there... I see you there in the back. Now, silently repeat after me this prayer."

Does this sound familiar? Is this something you've seen a pastor do in a church? I have witnessed this multiple times. There are many problems with this.

1. Why do all the people have to bow their heads and close their eyes? Are the people who might get saved here ashamed of their decision? Are they afraid to publicly declare they want to follow Jesus? If so, then my guess is they won't get saved anyway. 

2. Where in the Bible does it say you have to repeat any prayer to get saved? Aren't we told in Scripture not to repeat prayers like the heathen do? If you are only "repeating" what the pastor says, are you being genuine in your declaration when they aren't even your own words? 

3. Where is the conviction? the real repentance?  The public declaration of one's new faith and the subsequent celebration? 

Yet after these people have secretly said "the prayer", the pastor declares them "saved" I believe this is how we get false converts in churches. 

Let's look at the Apostle Peter's famous sermon in Acts 2, the one where 3000 people got saved. After his sermon, this is what the Scripture says:

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” 

No quiet raising of hands in secret. No repeating a prayer. The very first instruction of Peter was to REPENT.

There are, in fact, 80 occurrences of the word Repent in the NKJV of the New Testament. 

Repentance does not just mean saying I'm sorry. It is a complete and utter 180 degree turn from what you were doing, how you were living, to a new way of life. People who truly get saved are completely undone by the Gospel. They hear it and it affects them so much, it cuts them to the quick, and they realize how wicked and depraved they are. They fall to their knees in repentance and give their lives to Jesus. And they aren't ashamed at all when they do this. They do it openly and publicly, confessing their belief that Jesus is the Son of God, that He rose again from the dead, and they make Him Lord of their lives.

Nowhere in Scripture is there a salvation experience done in secret by repeating a prayer. Even if the pastor calls the people up to the altar, he still puts words in their mouths. I'm not saying that all people who raised their hand and repeated a prayer in church did not get saved. I'm sure some did.

The Lord led me to point this out to you, although many of you know this. But our current way of doing church (and the way its been done for nearly 2000 years) is not Biblical. The congregational church was never described in the Bible where there is one man in charge and everyone comes and sits in an auditorium to be entertained. Christianity is not a spectator sport!   The only church the Scriptures define is a group of believers who meet together to worship, pray, and grow in discipleship. Everyone has a gift from God that he or she can use to edify other believers. The pastor is NOT the head and responsible for the entire group. There are teachers, administrators, worship leaders, prophets, helpers, healers, and a ton of other giftings you can find listed in the Bible.  

Unfortunately with the current way "church" is done and the way people "get saved", I believe that sitting in the pews across America (and the world) are many people who profess to be a Christian but who truly never repented and don't know Jesus at all. 

Please don't take offense if you attend a church you like where the pastor preaches the real Gospel. This is not a bad thing. But it would be much better to meet together in groups where everyone can use the gifts God gave them to help disciple all the believers. 

We are so close to going home. It breaks my heart that there are so many tares among the wheat. They've been told they are saved when they really aren't. They've been told they got their ticket punched to get into heaven but in reality the Lord will tell them He never knew them. Ultimately it's up to them to seek out the Scriptures and form a relationship with Jesus. But they feel secure in their OSAS doctrine, and all their sins past, present, and future have been forgiven, right? So, it doesn't matter how they live. Breaks my heart.. 

 

 

 

Beast System Rising - The Genesis Mission

Saints,

Time is short. Please watch the following two Instagram posts, Part 1 and Part 2 of something called The Genesis Mission.  I did look up this woman and the lady from whom she gathered the information. You can find Carol Mack on Facebook.   I have scrolled through her information and it is mind-boggling. But if you want just the cliff notes, watch these two Instagram posts. . 

Part One

Part Two 

In a nutshell, this "Genesis Mission" is the Beast System and it is nearly completed all around us. When you agree to it, it is not just a chip in the hand or an implant in the brain, but your entire body become wired to the internet or the AI hive. There will be no where to hide. And if you aren't wired into the system, you don't exist and therefore cannot buy or sell.  They expect to have this completed by this December. If you are brave enough to scroll through Carol Mack's page,.. you will see all the proof, as well as hear her testimony. I prayed about it and I believe Carol and this lady below are true Christians just trying to warn people. There is so much deception now!  We cannot trust anything we hear or even see. Please stay close to Jesus and ask for discernment.  Oh, and one thing this lady said which blessed me immensely is that what they are trying to do with the sprays and the nanobots and infiltrating our bodies, they CANNOT do to those of us covered with the blood of Jesus!!  And you should know then, that they know who we are and they can't wait for us to leave! 

Another lady I highly recommend on You Tube who I just found is Ashley Hays.  I've only listened to a few of her videos but she is spot on with Biblical truth and with what is happening.  I encourage you to sub to her and work your way through her videos if you really want to know what's going on. Not to fear, but just to be informed so you won't be deceived! 

I say all of this also because I sense the Lord telling me my job as a watchwoman is nearly at an end, so I will only be posting things as he leads. When I asked him today (Sunday), he led me to create this post. 

I'm NOT watching dates or listening to feast day calculations or the blood moons or number of days since (you fill in the blank) equaling to the prophetic numbers in Daniel.. or any of that anymore. I'm only looking at signs and staying as close to Jesus as possible. I encourage you all to do that and not get caught up in rapture dates and "words" from the Lord about dates, etc. Keep your focus on Jesus!  

It's more important that you are going in the rapture than when it will happen!

Make sure the rapture is not your idol, but rather your full focus and love is on Jesus! 

Maranatha and see you all soon!
