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!
Greetings to you happy wonderer :)
ReplyDeleteI love the scripts, especially Pauls in Phil. I've often notice the properity guy's quote part of it "Being transformed into His likeness" but they always see to skip over the sufferings part !
I wrote a while back, it's not enough to just have a belief in God, we need to believe God !
I always pondered the script regarding the narrow and wide gates. Always went back and forth on that between God's unfailing love and His final judgment. But I'm starting to see more and more just how narrow the narrow gate really is ! Seems the whole world is being deceived these days.
Christ's peace Sister.
Greetings Brother Joe. Yes... I hear you. I know God is merciful and loving, but there's that other side to Him. He cannot allow sin to go unpunished. He wouldn't be just otherwise. When describing the narrow gate, He said FEW find it. FEW! That's a scary statement.
DeleteAnd it's only through suffering that we are transformed into His likeness! We all want to be like Him, but we don't want to suffer. Myself included. Only by His Grace and Strength!
Blessings!
Hello Sister in Christ,
ReplyDeleteWelcome back and glad to see you post again. Good thing I have still been checking your blog daily for I had a feeling you may come back and post again sooner than anticipated.
Interesting quotes from Scripture, I just finished reading Acts yesterday (Paul managed to escape a narrow death because the Roman king felt sorry for him) and plan to read the 2 Kings chapters. I have been feeling that whenever I read or go through something and then come across some associated Scriptures, it must be a form of communication from God. Could this be true?
The hantavirus is said to have been detected in some American travelers who I think are also among those quarantining in Nebraska, and lately there is another alarming report of an Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda, which prompted the WHO to declare a concerning global health emergency.
I think you may also believe this, but could it be very possible that this is a preceding step before the next “plandemic” begins? COVID was planned but fell far from meeting the goal of mass losses, and the demonic forces are ensuring it will not fail this time around. However, I still tend to believe the full force and impact may not be felt until the Fourth Seal is broken. Do you believe this could be true?
You may have heard that Putin is now meeting with Xi in China, just days after Trump’s visit there late last week. We should believe that the real goal is to prepare for an attack on Israel, possibly fulfilling the Gog-Magog War, under the pretense of seeking economic aid and boosting relations. If this is true, then we should be leaving very soon, for I think that war may not happen until the Second Seal is broken to allow for war or maybe not long after the Tribulation starts. Possible scenario perhaps?
Have a great day Sister and in advance, Happy Pentecost weekend. With less than two weeks before June, this may be the final High Watch time for this month? Either way, I still believe the Tribulation may start this Fall and therefore, we will leave at some point between then and now. Peace and Blessings from a Brother in Christ.
Greetings, Brother! Yes.. .every time you read the Bible, God is speaking to you. He will often highlight some particular passage or story and it will resonate with your heart as you read. That's Him teaching you and leading you.
DeleteYes, I agree regarding these new diseases they are talking about. One or all of them will most likely become the next pandemic that won't fully be unleashed until after we are gone.
Ah.. yes Putin and China... they will both attack the USA mainland at some point. Many many Godly people have had dreams and visions of this. Perhaps that is what they are discussing as they meet together.
I believe we must leave between now and mid-September (which is the start of the Jewish new year) But I tend to believe, based on the Harvest cycles, that we leave sooner rather than later. May 31st is Pentecost on the Essene calendar... and it is also a rare Blue moon, so I'm sort of looking at that date too.
See you soon, Brother!
Greetings Holy Messenger of God,
ReplyDeleteNice to hear that you are safely home and are back to serving the Lord faithfully through more posts. Even though you may not post as frequently as before, I pray the Lord will continue to spread the urgency through your posts.
Did you hear that Trump read 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 ahead of America’s 250th birthday, also emphasizing for America to observe the Sabbath as a recommended practice. Could this be why people are deluded into praising and looking up to Trump, for he cites Scripture and occasionally mentions God? We know that demons and the Devil also know Scripture and believe in God, so could this be some kind of deceptive influence?
I recall there was a prior post where you linked a video showing a calculation of the actual Pentecost in July based on Leviticus 23:15-16 about “counting seven full weeks and fifty days after the seventh Sabbath and then present a grain offering to the Lord.” I even looked at some articles that hinted this may be a credible speculation of when the Rapture may be. Say if we are still here in May and June, would this be worth considering?
Per your response to the commenter above, I did look at the Essenes calendar a while back but forgot about it, so it felt like a divine intervention that I got reminded about it. Speaking of such, would this be the calendar we should be referring to instead of the Gregorian calendar when knowing the actual important Feasts and dates in Israel?
If I remember reading, Enoch was raptured into Heaven on Sivan 6, which is tomorrow the 21st. Some believers wonder if this or the days after may be significant due to this.
Another is that as I kind of expected, the Feast of New Wine is on July 19, or Av 3, which is also the supposed actual date of Pentecost.
As you noted, I really hope we will leave sometime within the next few months, for I have this feeling that while everything seems quiet now, it is only a matter of time before all hell breaks loose. I trust the Lord will come to bring us home very soon. Blessings and Come Quickly Lord Jesus!
Greetings! Yes, Trump mentioning "God" and quoting Scripture doesn't make him a Christian, yet I agree, that it is all part of the deception. I believe this keeping of the Sabbath is just a start to what is called the Noahide laws, which I believe will be put into effect worldwide with the One World Religion. We shall see
DeleteNot sure about the extra Pentecost. I know some watchmen have calculated that in the past. And Scripture isn't entirely clear on it... but it is certainly a possibility. In fact, Jesus can come whenever He wants!
Yes, I believe that the Essene calendar is the one that follows God's original calendar the most, so I always reference it. And yes, Sivan 6 is Thursday/Friday. I believe any day left in this month is very high watch.
Either way, we should be looking up with great hope, excitement and expectation. Stay close to Jesus
Blessings!
Good Afternoon Blessed Watchwoman of God,
ReplyDeleteIn addition to the Scriptures you mentioned, I believe John 14:1-3 where Jesus promises to bring us to wherever He will be at a set time is also relevant in terms of endurance, so we can be assured that remaining loyal and faithful to Him will help us endure to the end.
I read your Blue Moon response above and I wanted to ask if it may be prophetically significant since it symbolizes divinity? One reason is that it will be 89/90 days since the Purim Blood Moon back on March 3, and another reason is that it will be 8 years, 8 months, and 8 days since the Revelation 12 sign was acknowledged back on 9/23/2017. Since 888 is representative of Jesus’s name, this shouldn’t be a coincidence perhaps?
Also, I read that the earthquake that struck the Pacific with tsunami warnings last year on 7/30/25 had a magnitude of 8.8. Since that was around the time of Pentecost per the recent calculation video, I wonder if a year later (this year of 2026) may foretell the Rapture. I read a comment referencing how Abraham waited 25 years before he had Isaac, and just a year before Isaac was born, angels told Abraham he will have a son exactly a year later. Could this be Parallelism in relation to the Rapture?
Take care and Blessings and Maranatha!
Greetings! I didn't know those dates and numbers you mentioned, but that's very interesting. Yes, 888 is very significant. I try to stay away from such calculations because up to this point, they've all been wrong.. .but they are definitely brow raising. Also, your reference to Abraham waiting 25 years for Isaac.... very interesting analogy. I hadn't connected that as well.
DeleteAnyway, Blessings to you and yours. Maranatha!
