Almighty Creator God & pre-incarnate Christ as the only begotten beloved Son Jesus Yeshua are living and alive, and because of Jesus' sacrifice opened the way, & as the way (of our lives), & to the father for so many to repent, get right with their very maker Creator God & make peace with Him, entering into holy spirit rebirth, water baptism, radical revolutionary transformation of a set apart sanctified loving obedient cross bearing sacrificial crucified daily life, of special holy intimacy of a continuing ever deepening maturing growing relationship, in doing the will of our father in heaven and in loving others.
Loving others means telling them the whole counsel of God...how I shrank not from declaring to you any-thing that was profitable, and teaching you publicly, and from house to house, testifying both to Jews and to Greeks the repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus. And now, lo, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing what shall befall me there: save that the Holy Spirit testifieth to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me. But I hold life of no account as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. And now, lo, I know that ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, shall see my face no more. Wherefore I testify to you this very day, that I am pure from the blood of all. For I shrank not from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
Acts 20:20-27
Jesus is returning & it's not a matter of if; it's a matter of when. This a guaranteed truth, Jesus himself declared it! And that He is coming quickly, not only that, but when He does, His reward will be with Him.
But before His return we have been warned to prepare for the end of all things in satan's system. By God's Holy spirit is still calling both believers & unbelievers alike to prepare as Jesus' coming will convict the world of sin because of those that believe not unto Him, of righteousness & of judgement because the prince of this world has been judged.
Heavenly father will allow nature to pound this earth with one crises after another & the fullness of sin to come to it's completion, to warn and help bring many to repentance & of His good news in Christ Jesus, His grace & mercy before the day of judgements & His approaching wrath.
This picture above gives an overview, as for wether I personally accept that there is a rapture before the seven vials, I can't see that, what I do know is that heavenly father will and can protect His sheep just as he did Noah. I do believe in the harpazo a snatching away as it is written that will be so, as to exactly when, that's up to heavenly father not me or you. I certainly do believe that all those Christ Jesus indwelt and infilled will have to be intensely severely tested and tried and go through the crucible of fires to be forged and strengthened in their faith and to have trusted in heavenly father implicitly. I certainly do not believe anyone is raptured just so that they do not go on to experience hardships or sufferings or tribulations.
That those who still love the world and the things in it, the adulterers and adulteresses whom are still friends with the world are then making themselves enemies and at war with God, those whom have chosen not to forsake it, be delivered and emancipated from it, or be crucified to it and trying to serve & slave for two masters, trying to feast off God's table and the table of demons, whom are lovers of pleasures, lovers of self, rather than lovers of God, love what satans system offers them, whom are selfish and are not living in denying self and picking up their cross daily, living in the true power of the resurrection of Jesus of newness of spirit life, in loving obedience in loving heavenly father with all of our mind, heart, soul and with all of our strength and loving our neighbours and enemies, walking according to the spirit and not fulfilling the carnal desires of the flesh will indeed be revealed to them, and the wickedness of such unrepentant selfish calloused uncircumcised hearts will be thoroughly exposed through the severity & necessity of testings & trials of our faith, and if they even have a genuine relationship with God or not, by & through heavenly father's judgements and His subsequent wrath to all those who do not obey the gospel and serve an antichrist Jesus, in place of and against the true Jesus as he truly is, says and defines. [2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; Matthew 7:21-23; James 4:4]
1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
None of the apostles and the one whom wrote these very words under heavenly father's inspiration got to behold this.
10 of Jesus' disciples all got martyred, John got imprisoned for his love and faithfulness for Jesus on the island of Patmos, and died there. Just important things to prayerfully consider and understand. Noah was preserved through God's wrath by being obedient to all heavenly father instructed of him to do, by building an ark, we are to enter into the door of Jesus as our ark of true salvation and preservation, we becoming the living arks of the blood covenant established only in & through Christ Jesus and all that encompasses.
Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel trumped, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and the key of the pit of the abyss was given him.
2 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and smoke went up out of the pit, as smoke of a great furnace; and the sun was darkened and the air by the smoke of the pit.
3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was said to them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither aught green, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads.
Those not sealed by God on their foreheads-(are those whose minds are not renewed and don't have the mind of Christ, nor been conformed into his image & likeness) nor been sealed by his blood, nor by God's holy spirit & don't walk according to the spirit but the flesh will indeed receive the torment of God's judgements and subsequent wrath.
Can we really believe the predictions of Jesus? In an age of increased knowledge, of scientific AI technological & healthcare advances, do we really accept the idea of a world in chaos? Are the Prophecies found in Jesus' authoritative words and found in the scriptures to be taken literally as well as symbolically and not just by the letter but by the spirit? Will there be a world war involving nearly every nation? Even worse famines? Increase of terrorism? Of violence? Plagues? Earthquakes? Floods? Weather anomalies? And a time of unprecedented tribulation of great distress that the world has never before seen or experienced ever before? As clearly described? And that when men cry peace & safety, great destruction will come upon them?
The people of Noah's day didn't believe God's flood of judgement was coming upon the entire earth either, and Noah preached for 120 years the same message of God's coming judgement of His wrath, and for the people's repentance as the people mocked laughed ridiculed & scorned him as a crazy no doubt unloving cruel laughable prophet, preaching God's truths of vision in love for the desire of the possibility of salvation.
The bible and Jesus himself stated our days would be just as the days of Noah & Lot, as Sodom & Gomorrah were & many will scoff at the prophecies & predictions & of Jesus' coming & to execute His righteous justice. And the scoffing and ridicule comes from not only the intellectuals, the skeptics, but many church leaders & people's, and yet many non Christians are seeing with utter clarity, what now many choose to deny. Even some scientists, intellectuals, philosophers, technicians also warn that world history could come to a cataclysmic end in the not so distant future.
Today we see so many slaves to immorality that means & is inclusive of all sexual sins, varying addictions, inclusive of drugs, micro dosing LSD, marijuana, DMT, altered states of consciousness as expanding the mind, to find themselves, as now normal, people booking trips for ayahuasca retreats, consulting shamans-ultimately this is all sorcery, street gangs, alcoholism, thievery, abuse, rapes, child sexual abuse, child and adult sex trafficking, homosexuality, transsexuality, transgenderism acceptance of expressing sexuality through clothing, media, speech, & in children etc, bestiality, violence, poverty & rebellion as the norm, & if you refuse to be part of the world and all it's depravity, speaking & upholding God's truths in love, are vilified, attacked, bullied, viewed as hateful, unkind, unloving, abnormal, a pariah, castigated, cast out & even the governments helping enforcing such & it's many varying systems in place, or at your workplace. Lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. Yet love towards each other cooling off & becoming cold. Many are praising God with their lips but their hearts are actually far removed from Him, through hypocrisy. Supernatural events are happening the increase & of acceptance of sin and practising it especially amongst those who say they love Jesus, brings with It demonic spirits, their greater influence taking over many lost & ignorant souls, yes that also includes Christians who keep engaging in perpetual wilfull sins & take great pleasure in them, are actually opening doors to not only demonic oppression but eventual possession in their own lives too, & then there is no turning back, unless you are gathering with Jesus, you cannot survive.
Yet these truths and just pointing them out, bringing attention to them will be seen and are called unloving by many, or viewed as fanatical attempts to scare and instill fear especially to the unconverted & those who don't believe what Jesus says as true. Others will fault God's truths because of all the "wrath & judgement." Sadly many choose to see only one side of Creator God Yah's attributes, even Jesus has been reduced to some mere weakling, who is so understanding and a complete pushover, that now accepts evil and wickedness as all ok, when actually He as the Lion & the Lamb will bring his intended coming wrath to all the unrepentant and those who don't & refuse to obey the Gospel. Many only want to see God's love mercy and grace, that he is only always accepting of everyone and everything & tolerates evil & wickedness, that His love overlooks & covers over all perpetual evil & wickedness, that He loves you no matter what you do, or how you live, or who you hurt, and finds now evil as acceptable, these are making Jesus & God after their own image & likeness a god after their own hearts desires and refuse to accept & ignore purposefully ALL HE SAYS, WHO HE TRULY IS & ENCOMPASSES, & ALL WHAT HE PROMISES TO DO & TO THOSE WHO MAKE A MOCKERY OF JESUS' SACRIFICE AND TRAMPLE ALL OVER HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD.
Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whoso thou that judgest: for wherein thou judgest the other, thou condemest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things. And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those practising such And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest those practising the such and doest them, that THOU shalt escape the judgment of God? Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of God's righteous judgment, who will render to each according to his works: to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life: but to them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrigh-teousness-wrath and in-dignation, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh the evil, of Jew first, and also of Greek; 10 but glory and honor and peace to every one that worketh the good, to Jew first, and also to Greek: for there is no respect of persons with God.
Romans 2:1-11
Like His holiness is especially seen even sadly amongst many Christians as something dirty, or to be guilty embarrassed or very ashamed about, that you are somehow evil arrogant or prideful, even perverse for being drawn attracted and love such a gorgeous beautiful attribute and facet of abba heavenly father, that even praying asking for God's power by His spirit & Jesus' indwelling to live out being set apart in His holiness, to be hallowed in you, to live a hallowed clean life, to want to be conformed ever more into the same character, nature image & likeness of Christ in you the hope of glory, to walk as He walked. When actually those negative attitudes is how we are to view sin & to hate & abhor it, to see sinning as disgusting, abnormal, an abomination & an aberration, as breaking God's heart and only stabbing ourselves perpetually all over with many pains & sorrows.
Or many don't think or truly believe God's truths can be or are absolute, or the fact we are to actually carry out all Jesus commands of us, but instead that they are somehow optional? And that we are free to interpret as one sees fit, and then manipulate such truths to fit their own agenda, or ignore them altogether & to then accommodate the carnal flesh, and be in open opposition to all His truths & commands. And will view such, as merely forms of legalism. Like take for instance sorcery & witchcraft and all the forms it takes, do you know what they are? Do you know what God himself says to those who practise such things? And do you think we should even care?
Satan's evangelists whom disguise themselves as Christians appearing as ministers of light will zealously proclaim the occult & it's practices through harry potter, magic, wizardry, witchcraft, new age, crystals, ascended masters, aliens, ouija boards, tarot cards, oracle, 'Christian' cards, horoscopes, seeking mediums, psychics, divining, evolution, combining eastern religious teachings & practices of Hinduism & Buddhism yoga, etc into Christianity, phrenology with it's similarity through enneagrams, mystical practices, alongside many spiritualistic practices through spiritual formation, wrongful spiritual warfare, soul influence and through affecting the emotional self, psychological & psychiatric practices developed by fallible men, Carl Gustav Jung regularly consulted with his ascended master Philemon and other demonic spirits, which obviously is passed off as merely his unconscious and overactive imagination, yet has hugely influenced and impacted today's psychotherapeutic methodologies, & all these will then only help those practising such things become very close to the devil, and his entire hordes of his kingdom of darkness, and attempts to spread their messages within the ranks of especially those in church buildings, that satan is no longer an enemy but a friend, harmless and his practises will be passed off as good even shockingly as helpful. Many churches obviously (hopefully) would not accept such practises outright, but certainly when disguised in other ways & forms are now being widely respected and accepted. Heavenly father hates it! Many downplay it and honestly believe such abominations are acceptable even to Jesus Yeshua & Yhwh.
Only Jesus can truly transform and profoundly deeply heal from the inside out. No therapist or psychiatrist ever can, has or ever will be able to. And guess what? They are paid, it's a job, and they can't love you, or treat you like family,& like only Jesus & heavenly father can, they are limited, are restricted, some even push pharmaceutical dangerous drugs that affect and will disturb & harm not only your mind but will do harm to your physical body & is offered as a solution, and will also offer ungodly counsel, are not your friend, have office hours and are fallible. Heavenly father is not! And He is available to you 24/7.
We also are to indeed be gracious, compassionate and caring to the lost hurting dirty and dying with informed educated experienced understanding, with the living Christ Jesus affecting and moving in us and with much listening with wise God given boundaries and holy spirit led. Loving them enough to give them far more than what they are are asking from us in immediacy, or just through throwing money at them & then walking away from them.
To those who DO want to repent & receive God's love and forgiveness, be transformed changed in & by Christ, we then want to be a part of their life sharing Jesus in us & through us, His compassion, love & truths, and to walk with them as we get to the root cause of their present situation, & circumstances together and by the power of God's spirit, and understanding that it takes far more dependancy, prayer & reliance upon heavenly father to help them know how to deal with difficult heightened extreme emotional states & the intensity of pain, distress, chronic stress, anxiety, complex post traumatic experiences, mental health illnesses etc, and in Christ He will teach and help and train to go against the ingrained imprinting of coping through gaining instantaneous hits & fixes, through past addictive behavioural patterns through drugs, alcohol, smoking, sexual addictions, benzo’s, psychiatric drugs, pornography, rages, gambling, uncontrolled anger or through abusing & hurting self or others, acting out, self harm, or seeking out pleasures through unhelpful coping mechanisms and in feeding the carnal desires of the flesh, but instead through the power of God's spirit will help bring them in to being a new creation & understanding one’s absolute identity in Christ Jesus, not being overwhelmed with self hatred, shame, guilt, beating oneself up, or allowing the devil to wrongfully accuse and torment, and Jesus is willing to stay the long haul to those truly wanting to be abiding in Him, will bring forth the fruits of Himself, & of the fruits of the holy spirit, of self control of self discipline of self denial, accepting God’s forgiveness, & Jesus will also lovingly challenge and discipline and chastise you because He loves you so much, & enough to set you free from continuously hurting yourself and others, to deliver you from your prisons & the kingdom of darkness & in dying to the carnal flesh as a living daily reality, in how to overcome temptation and not give in to it, or your carnal wrongful desires in your flesh. He will help all those whom are willing to call upon His help to become a new creation in Him. This is also a miraculous supernatural overhaul & process in dying to the old self and being resurrected into the very transforming life of Christ Jesus, & of ongoing sanctification.
This will cost us far more than giving the homeless and addicts money that they are asking for. It does mean meeting others needs, who are in absolute need. Feeding them when they are hungry, putting them up in your home if they are homeless and allowing you to, with house rules & until they get back on their own feet, and being holy spirit led instructed and taught with each individual on how Jesus needs you to reach them and their spirit needs too.
That we are willing to take the much more costly path with them & with much humility & patience because they are worth it in our & God's eyes.
This is NOT turning away from them! Because if they refuse such help & all the good news found in Jesus christ, they are turning away from Jesus & you! And when they do of course, we must pray for them & to remain open & to their return and make the offer to truly help them in the way of all the truths of Christ Jesus again in the future. But giving material assistance to those whom don't need it, or buying them drugs or alcohol etc, is truly not the loving thing to do at all, & we have indeed been called to truly love our neighbours, not enabling their sins of addictions because it could actually even kill them, and it takes only one shot, one drink, one drug, one time!
Heavenly father as Almighty Creator God as Yhwh has another side & many facets of His attributes & to His personality than just love. That love has been so distorted and misunderstood in today's climate. People today see love as being unaccountable to God in any way. God's love is not ever permissive but constrains. Even a surface check of reading the scriptures and those truly knowing God as abba father, Christ indwelt & infilled will easily prove it; knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men..2 Corinthians 5:11
Christ Jesus is coming to set up His kingdom & rule as Supreme King and He laughs at those who set themselves up against Him & His set apart holy people, He will hold them in derision & distress them in His deep displeasure. (Psalm 2)
Jesus is coming to do away with all wars, disease, disaster, wickedness, & all the evilness of sins & satan's kingdom & all those who are take part of it, executing His perfect justice and as Judge. You can laugh at it, ignore it, & put it aside as a fantastical hoax. Not even one prophecy of the past that has been recorded in the Bible has failed to come to pass and happened in his-story, and so too, not one of all the future prophecies, especially those in the unveiling in revelation will fail either. It is Guaranteed.
Yes, it is a sordid, sad frightening almost unbelievable story of wrath & judgement, but it is only to those who keep rejecting the truths & love of their very creator & maker Almighty God Yhwh. But there is absolutely no way to sugarcoat it or ignore it. If you have been rejecting God, Jesus, & His holy spirit and refusing His call, & to repent and this is especially to those who say they walk and abide in Christ Jesus, then the day will come when you will literally shake & be terrified, and with many hearts even failing them as they see the things coming to pass one by one. Survive an earthquake, a volcano, or a war, or a severe hurricane, a tsunami, continuing inflation, job losses, or out of control fires, the complete destruction & decimation of your home, everything you own, losing all your family members, all your friends, starvation, hunger, being cold without warmth in the winter, homeless-then see if you can laugh. Watch the latest developments unfold upon this earth then tell me it's all a lie. There is nothing but fear & despair for those who live selfishly & refuse to obey the Gospel & whom are without heavenly father.
Persecution in other lands will be coming upon our shores too & will sift those who truly are filled with Christ Jesus & those who are not. The body of Jesus will become far more invisible, especially in separating themselves completely from the political arena, yet be radical in sharing the good news about Jesus and have supernatural holy Ghost power impacting by continuing in doing the work of the kingdom no matter what.
The world can change & suddenly without warning. Only those whom are wise with continual oil in their lamps & vessels, whom deny self, pick up their cross & walk humbly daily with God will be joyful & at peace. There is only one place we can hide ourselves in; the living Christ Jesus & in us. So don't squander the time we have been given, squabbling amongst ourselves with no resolution in sight. But being busy about our father's business doing the work of God's heavenly kingdom, to have our lamps burning and shining so brightly, as night & darkness descends will not be easy to traverse, not feeling and groping about as a blind man hoping to find it, then light it & be comforted by it's illumination. But a wise man sees danger & prepares himself. A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished.
Proverbs 22:3
Jesus wasn't exaggerating for effect. But lovingly warning all those who would have the ears to hear and eyes to see, to understand grasping that the night of darkness will be no easy walk in the park to traverse. And yet many will be ignorant of the days of the presence of the Son of man, going about their daily business, buying, selling, marrying, starting businesses, drinking, eating, making merry, enjoying life, going on holidays, planting, building, yet knowing not until that very day arrives suddenly.
Do not ever put off necessary spiritual preparation, are you right with God? Ask Him, and to reveal all that He wants and needs for you to know about your personal walk with Him. Prepare now with Him, view this day as your last, how will you live it? That today will be the day you will honour love & worship Heavenly father in spirit and in truth and as God himself decrees, desires and all He has given to enable you to do so, and in how you treat others. Stop putting off what God needs you to do today. Stop putting loving pleasures before doing the will of Heavenly father, to live a sanctified set apart living obedient life. You see those in continual engagement of sins that Jesus can set you free from today and every day after that & yet if you continue, and you die in those chosen perpetual sins, if you died today will lead to your eternal separation from God and everlasting cutting off and to hell and then transference into the lake of fire, unless you repent & ask God to help you overcome and Jesus to set you free from being held a prisoner and captive to those sins that God Himself states those practising them will not enter into His kingdom. There are no more excuses, because if you are truly born of God & Jesus' seed then you have been given everything in Christ the power & the ability His very indwelling to live in a way that is pleasing and acceptable to heavenly father.
During this season may our gaze not wander, nor be given in to the multitude of distractions threatening to shift our focus to the things of this earth. Though our redemption draws near, and we must keep our eyes always precision laser focused upon Jesus as the prize and our father in heaven, looking to Him, we continue to mature and to grow, abiding in Jesus to bring forth fruits of the spirit, of repentance, of His righteousness & through Him, we are to endure to the end.
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written you. For yourselves know perfectly that the Lord's day cometh as a thief at night. But when they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as the travail upon the one with child; and they shall in no wise escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as thieves, for ye are all sons of light, and sons of day: we are not of night, nor of darkness; so then let us not sleep, as the rest, but let us watch and be sober. For who sleep sleep at night; and who are drunken are drunken at night. But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, salvation hope. For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.
But we ask you, brethren, to know them that labor among you and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work. Be at peace among yourselves. And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be long-suffering toward all. See that none render unto anyone evil for evil; but always follow after what is good, one toward another, and toward all. Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks: for this is God's will in Christ Jesus toward you. Quench not the Spirit; despise not prophesyings; but prove all things; hold fast what is good; abstain from every form of evil. And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, with-out blame at the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful he that calleth you, who will also do it.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-24
It's your move now...
"Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." Luke 12:27 ESV
Lilies: purity, hope, new life, Love, innocence of heart, beauty, and more.
A few encouraging words.
"Such mighty words of true wisdom from above. Well done, dear Hephzibah." Yes, you did not shrink back but spoke boldly with love, wisdom, grace, and mercy. Every word was precisely what needed to be heard at this moment. Oh GOD, thank You for Hephzibah, she is such a blessing. Truly, she is Your tender gift to us, Your people.
"Praise the LORD!"
Hephzibah, I read your letter yesterday before going to Church. I planned to comment this morning. After we went down the street for ice cream, the sun was out, and it was another awesome day living in the LORD's Loving care. As I sat eating my quickly melting ice cream, the LORD said I have a special word for Hephzibah. Will You deliver it to her, for sure I said. I'm excited to know what it was,
"Are You Ready?"
Hephzibah, a tender lily underneath.
"I planted a field of tender lilies. It covers the whole earth below, each wonderfully made. To a passerby, many of them go unnoticed because the others cover them, making their beauty unappreciated, not seen, but not to Me. I see them right where I've placed them. They are the ones underneath, holding the others up. Yes, everyone can see the ones above, but the ones underneath are the ones I have allowed to suffer the most. They are the ones who bear the burdens of the others, they are those who carry with them My scars, My tears, My Love for the others. Yes, they share in My deepest sentiments. They are the ones who heard Me say, feed My sheep. Yes, their beauty doesn't go unnoticed by Me, for it shines brighter than the stars, it sings with the angels, so precious is its adoration and praise, so pleasing to My ears and eyes, sing My Lilies sing because you are My joy."
"These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full." John 15:11 ESV
O the Deep Deep Love of Jesus // Sounds Like Reign

I was speaking to my mother concerning the blessed hope that purifies and the importance of it being preached.
I think about what happened when the people thought Moses delayed coming down from the mountain.
We are closer than we were when we first believed🙏🏾
