HEDZUP text (from videos)  2020

Does Jesus mean what He says?
Jesus Christ said that before His return to Earth there would be EARTHQUAKES!

These were to alert us of His soon coming return.

Jesus Christ will appear in the clouds to greatly shake and trouble the rebellious world.

He will  call up to Him all those who have believed in Him as their Lord and Saviour.

Dead or alive, all those who belong to Jesus, will rise to meet Him in the air, miraculously.

So, are EARTHQUAKES occurring?

Yes, and in fact they are increasing in frequency and intensity!

 In one hundred years there have been 1,000 times more!

About hundred years ago, for a 20 year period it was noted that 3 very large EARTHQUAKES took place worldwide.

The stats slowly went up over the years on how many very large quakes occurred.

The stats then suddenly jumped—perhaps for effect, to wake us up!

For a 20 year period recorded in recent years there were 3,000 VERY LARGE EARTHQUAKES that occurred worldwide during that time!

The soles of His feet, shake the souls in the street.

He IS coming!

The EARTH knows the King is coming. The rocks are crying it out!

Do you have your visa or ticket, so you can fly out and be welcomed into God’s land?

Or will you be left in the rubble when the really big quake comes? The biggest earthquake yet, when Jesus makes His grand appearance.

--Revelation 16:17,18--

 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

Stay alert!
Everything else Jesus said would happen, has happened, or is happening now, or is just about to.

In case you wondered...
Those who have died before Jesus' return, yet believed in Him as their Saviour, their body will be restored, become alive and transformed; changed into a new supernatural one—much like the one Jesus had when He rose from the grave.
Then, just like Elijah and Enoch were taken alive from the Earth, transformed and taken right to Heaven, so will the believers of Jesus who have survived on Earth, and are still living, be taken up to join Him and their fellow saints in the air and be whisked off to live with God eternally.

I hope your friends and family will be on the way up with you!

***
The "End of the world" sign posts we are to look out for.
God makes sure they happen.
We are to make sure we notice--with both eyes open!

The disciples really wanted Jesus Christ to set up His Kingdom on Earth and reign.

They knew from the Old Testament scriptures that this would happen. When? That was their question.

 The old kingdom of the world and Satan’s temporary running of things would have to come to an end.

 “The End of the World” or “The Latter/Last Days” or “The Time of the End (last ruling kingdom)”.

Jesus told them that just as a fig tree puts out leaves before summer comes, so will there be certain events in the world to alert us to the predicted end of Man’s and Satan's rule, and the soon return of the proper King, Jesus Christ—King of kings and Lord of lords.

Here are some of the main signs and events that Jesus listed, in the order He said them.

 As you can see, they have all happened, or are still in the process of happening.

Temple destroyed by the Romans (HAPPENED)
Many say they are Christ. (HAPPENED)
Wars and rumours of wars (HAPPENED)
Nations rising against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms (HAPPENED)
Famines (HAPPENED)
Pestilences (HAPPENED--STILL HAPPENING)
Earthquakes (HAPPENED--STILL HAPPENING)
Christian persecution (HAPPENED--STILL HAPPENING)
Offended, betrayal, hate of each other (HAPPENED--STILL HAPPENING)
False prophets (teachers) deceiving (HAPPENED--STILL HAPPENING--AND COULD YET HAPPEN MORE)
Iniquity abounds (HAPPENED--STILL HAPPENING--AND COULD YET HAPPEN MORE)
 The love of many waxes cold (HAPPENED--STILL HAPPENING--AND COULD YET HAPPEN MORE)
Gospel preached in all the world (HAPPENING--AND MUST YET HAPPEN MORE)

AND THAT IS WHERE WE ARE UP TO ON THE LIST THAT JESUS GAVE HIS DISCIPLES.

So you want Jesus to come?

To set things right and rule the world?

Get busy spreading the Good News!

 All the world will need to get a chance to hear about Him.

That is the part of the list that He wants us to actually do something about.

We can show our loyalty by our obedience.

And we must get busy with it, because before too long, the rest will play out, and it is only a several year period from start to finish. And during most of that time, telling others about Jesus will be next to impossible—even worse than it is now.

What are we waiting for?
If you are eager for Jesus to come, are you doing what He said must be done so that He can come? Maybe He is delaying, because we haven't been obeying!

He said the Gospel is to be preached in all the world, then He'll finish up the last part of the plans with the world, and then take us up to be with Him.

We think we are waiting?
HE's the one that has been waiting... for 2000 years!

If you do the math we could have it finished up in a shockingly short amount of time!
--if every believer on Earth now fervently spread the Gospel News to all who have not yet heard, and taught those to do the same as well.

This is what every believer is commissioned  by Jesus Christ to do.

Take Jesus--Give Jesus--Can you afford not to?
Jesus said if you surrender to Him as Lord and Saviour, and commit to being His disciple, things will be tough.

It would cost everything you have.

Jesus said to be sure you were willing to give all, before choosing to follow Him.

He dislikes the half-hearted cowardly deserters, and will demand your uttmost, undivided loyalty.

Once you have joined His team and pledged your allegence, He expects it to be a life-long committment.

Any two-sided traitors and disobedient members will be punished.

Hardship and joy are two things Jesus Christ's team can count on having in this life.

 He didn't coat over the truth in fables of having fame and fortune--yet.

But before you think it'd be easier to just say “No thank you”  to His earnest plea to be on His team,

 consider the second half of what He said. It was in essence:

"Can you afford NOT to? My team is the winning team".

Jesus said it's like one army going against another that's twice their size.

It would be smart for a small, losing army to surrender and make peace with the bigger and stronger winning team of Jesus Christ. (See Luke 14)

The only way to make peace is to receive Jesus as your Saviour and be allowed to be part of His Kingdom.

Otherwise you are in a no-win situation.

Between a rock and a hard place? Yeah.  

That's the predicament we are in.

So basically the two options are:

 --Live a lame life, holding your little two stick fort, trying to keep God's unbeatable army from taking over, and find yourself under foot.

--Or give all to Jesus, and suffer now for your wise choice, and later be rewarded ridiculously generously and marvellously for eternity.

Be brave.

You'll be glad you chose to surrender of your free will to Jesus Christ now, rather than be forced to later and learn some hard lessons.

Pain now, pleasure later--or visa versa. Either way He wins.

Choice #1: presperation, pain, and perseverance now (for a short while)--and pleasusre in paradise later (for a very long time).
Choise #2: visa versa --short persuit of pleasure now, and long time of painful pondering later.

THE WARRIOR’S CRY

In the dawn’s soft light,

Stillness reigns on the battlefield

Where today we’ll fight

And our Captain’s power

 will be revealed.

But I fear the fray

For my strength is small

and my foe is fierce.

Will I fall today?

Oh, Jesus,

hear this soldier’s prayer

And I’ll …

Hold to the crown 'til

the blood runs down my arm,

True to the creed

that is written on my heart.

For freedom’s cause

 I’m prepared to give my life,

This is my warrior’s cry.

Fight to the end,

there’s no discharge in this war.

Though others flee

and the battle rages sore,

I’ll lift the fallen standard to the sky

With the warrior’s cry.

This is my pledge

Through trembling lips:

May I yet remain

On the cutting edge

Of Your sword that rips

Through the dark domain.

I cannot turn back;

Too much depends

on me staying true.

Though my faith may lack,

By Your grace I commit to You.

I will …

Hold to the crown 'til the blood runs down my arm,

True to the creed that is written on my heart.

For freedom’s cause I’m prepared to give my life,

This is my warrior’s cry.

Fight to the end, there’s no discharge in this war.

Though others flee and the battle rages sore,

I’ll lift the fallen standard to the sky

With the warrior’s cry.

What is around the corner for the grand ending scenes of the History of the World as we know it now?
Jewish sacrifices allowed to resume, perhaps a temple is build on neutral territory.
A form of peace on Earth, with communist ideals; more Global unity and control. A seven- year contracted or peace pact made.
Evil ruler posing as God in person, forced worship (by the Antichrist).
Babies, pregnant and nursing mothers in danger and greatly troubled.
Great tribulation, worldwide; fleeing and escaping; and great miracles and exploits by God’s people.
Signs and wonders and so called miracles done by the evil side of satan, to deceive people.
Lying about the return of Christ, where He is and Who He is; or being deceived by false doctrines and teachings.
The seven year peace packed broken mid way, and forced worship of satan’s man in charge, rather than the true God, for the remaining 3 ½ years he is in power, and great persecution of believers.
After the 3 ½ years of great Tribulation Jesus comes back powerfully in the clouds, and everyone sees Him—and either rejoices and flies to join Him, or trembles and hides because wrath will be poured out.
Resurrection of those who believed in Jesus, rising from the dead with new bodies
The “Rapture” of all who believe, who are alive again, or are still on earth, taken from this world, also flying up to meet the Lord in the air.
Those on Earth who have warred against Jesus, will get serious hardship, punishment and pain for their blatant and persistent rebellion against God.
Those who suffered at the hand of the persecutors, because they loved Jesus, will get pleasure in paradise. In Heaven they will receive their awesome rewards, mansions to live in, and most things that are yet to be revealed. However, some who make it there, sadly, won’t have much to show as far as work they did for the Lord; not much they did that they suffered for, for Jesus. They don’t get as much of a reward, but rather embarrassment. If you suffer at the hands of evil for the testimony of Jesus, then you get to be highly rewarded.
Jesus leads the troupes to take over the world, and rule and reign with His saints for 1000 years. Satan, the Antichrist, the false prophet, and all those who served the Devil and fought viciously against the Lord, will be removed from the Earth and locked up and punished somewhere in the spirit world.
The 1000 years of Godly peace, ruled by Jesus and His team, will be time of learning and growth, giving a chance to those who were on neither team, to make the world a Godly and nice place.
The final test of loyalties comes at the end of the 1,000 year reign of Christ on Earth, when Satan is released to try one last time to deceive and get a following. Those who, after 1000 years of knowing loving leadership and getting to know the true God, still want evil, are removed once and for all.
Those who love Jesus and believe in Him and His gift of Salvation, are given a new world to live on: The new Heaven and New Earth is created. A fresh new start, better than the first, with the Garden of Eden. God lives and dwells with His people, His saints.

How to survive both persecution and the Devil's army fighting you because you are on God's team?

Gotta get training.

And be quick about it, because this is only the beginning: the skirmishes before the whistle is blown, and full all-out war is waged between the forces of God and the forces of the evil, losing, opponent.

We have been warned for 2000 years of this final tough battle for the souls of men.

Jesus gave the “heads up”. But some people have forgotten that we are on enemy territory, and like sitting ducks in the middle of a battle field that troupes are about to descend on.

Revelation 13:7 
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them...

Is Jesus' army that He is depending on, weak and lily livered?

Are they rolling and revelling in the flower-strewn grass of the Grace of Jesus and the blessings of His Spirit that they can't even hear the sounds of the battle cry from their commander, Jesus Christ?

Ultimately Jesus' team wins. We know that.

But how badly you personally get wounded, or your family suffers, is up to you in many ways.

You can put yourself through rigorous training, so you know how to carry out Spiritual Warfare, and cause much damage to the evil opponent, instead of being a casualty.

The more casualties there are, due to laziness, distraction, greed, and just basically trying to make now be your Heaven--the less souls that will actually make it to Heaven.

Jesus is depending on each one who He has given a free ticket and pass to Heaven, to tell as many others as they can.

Show yourself worthy of the free gift by telling others, and sharing the Gospel with them.

Vigorous Training
When Hudson Taylor was preparing for his big job of “storming enemy territory” to win as many souls as He could for the Lord in China, he wasn't easy on himself.

He knew he would face tough times, so he prepared.

He made his physical situation as sparse and uncomfortable as he thought it might be like when he reached his mission field.

He wanted to be ready and hardy.

Are we willing to be vigorous in our training and preparing for the biggest battle that is yet coming, with God’s forces of light and Satan's dark forces fighting for all they are worth?

--A battle where we fight with Spiritual Weapons against the forces of Satan that are manifested in the physical?

What is the most uncomfortable change in your life that you can imagine, but what will really please the Lord and make you a strong warrior?

Is it getting so filled with God's Holy Spirit that you do some pretty wild things?

So filled that it scares the heck out of Satan's team, showing them that you are dead serious and mean business and will certainly not stop at his tricks of pride and putting on a veneer of good appearance?

Or perhaps giving up your regular income and giving your time fulltime to reaching others with the message God is crying out to be delivered, but has so few messengers that are willing to take it behind enemy lines, because of what it might cost them?

Do whatever it takes. Because being on the winning team will take all that you've got!

Hold back, or try other means of winning, like clinging pride and man-pleasing, and boom, you'll fall!

What are the correct weapons for Christ's Team to be using right now?

If they were for before, they would have been detailed, very clearly and specifically in the Bible. But perhaps they were just hinted at, so that now, Jesus Christ can tell His warriors about them clearly, and surprise the Enemy as we pull them out and use them.

The Devil has no suitable defence for the latest Spiritual Weaponry, as his croonies on Earth don't know about them and haven't tried to manifacture their counter part.

The hottest tools will bring the fastest victories and get God's People out of the tightest spots.

Learn what they are!

Ready, Set, Go! 
Search the scriptures and see if these things be so—the topics mentioned here now.

--Then have faith to take action and be an overcomer, winning victories daily for the Kingdom of God.

 Angels and ministering Spirits are a reality and are what God uses to help guide humans to know and do His will.

In the book of Revelation the teams of God’s angels that are fighting in the spirit to help us as we preach the Gospel and endure persecution refer to us as their ‘brethren’.

We are brothers and sisters in God’s family.

Find out from the Lord how you can be the best team player, as God calls both parts of His teams—visible and invisible—to work together to defeat the works of the enemy—in the spiritual and physical realms.
*
Praising and honouring and worshiping Jesus is the greatest protection against inroads of Satan.

Praise shows faith and  full allegiance to Christ, and this brings His full protection, and shuts the door to those who hate him.

Praise in and for all situations, no matter what.

God can and will get a victory out of each thing, and can do so for you more quickly as you praise Him and voice your faith in His supreme plan and power.
*
 The Word of God is the greatest source of power—the only way to succeed and please God.

Seek for God’s Word—old, newer, and hot off the griddle. You need it, treasures both new and old.

Don’t act without seeking guidance from God’s Spirit through the Word of God in some form.
*
 Prayer is your greatest tool belt, what you can use to build the Kingdom of God.

When you use prayer, which includes use of many of Heaven’s available sources of power, this shows your dependence on Jesus, it shows your faith and need for him.

In essence this is humility. The Lord draws nigh to the humble. So when you use prayer, you are living and working with Jesus.

Prayer keeps victories coming; without it, you stagnate, go backwards, fail and collapse.

Letting your requests be known to God is a requirement, if you want good to come of your days on Earth and time spent in service.

Otherwise you are just “beating the air” and your works will disintegrate into dust, nothing lasting to show for all your trouble.
*
Nurture a loving, passionate, all-for-Christ, relationship with Jesus.

This starts with the gift of Salvation, but doesn’t end there.

What are you saved for? Saved for Him, and Him alone.

He is like your mate, your God, your companion, closer than a brother, better than a father, more intimate than a spouse.

Finding out how far He wants to take you in this relationship, and take a step further and closer in His direction each day.

Whatever that might be; whatever helps you to grow in love.

“Loving Him with all your heart, mind and soul” being the first and greatest commandment.
*
Put out of your life the strife of tongues, the unforgiveness, bitterness, envy, hatred, evil thoughts, and all inroads of pride and doubt and rebellion against God.

Put out all things that hinder you from a close bond with Jesus. Put out of your life things that hinder love.

You have to seek repentance and forgiveness, and keep your heart getting cleansed, daily.
*
 Receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit, daily, in whatever way the Lord blesses—through praise and rejoicing, through speaking in tongues, through deep times feeding hungrily on the Word of God; and shooing away all the things that hinder the full empowerment of the Spirit of God.
*
Pray for and use the fruits and the gifts of the spirit, including the gift of prophecy and hearing from God fresh each day.

Review what each of these are, and learn about new ones.

Pray for them; learn to use them.
*
Pray for and use the gift of love, and keep active in living it out in practical ways; not withholding good from them to whom it is due.

Let the Spirit of God pray through you for others.

Forgive others; and ask to be forgiven.

Let your heart overflow with love and compassion.
*
Do the Will of God; work for Him; give your all to live in the way He asks.

Work hard for Jesus and forsake whatever it takes.

Choose to be actively involved in the work of His Kingdom.

Don’t leave yourself as an open target or vessel to be filled by the opponent.

Be too busy for the King of kings to be troubled with the cares of this life, the deceitfulness of riches, the time wasters of the world, taking in the contaminants and froth and fluff of Satan’s world.

Be too busy to think up and partake of time wasting “hobbies” that do little or nothing for the good of the souls that need winning, and people who need to be helped.
*
Get deliverance through prayer and confessing sins and faults.

Get needed prayer from others for health and spiritual attacks, and praying for others who ask you for it.

Have humility and honesty with one another, helping one another in the spiritual fight of faith.

Know you need each other, and be willing to pull one another up again when they fall—using prayer, or counsel, or Bible study, or correction, or by taking on a job for them so they can have more time in prayer and alone with the Lord.
*
Take the time to fast and pray when it’s beneficial for your spirit and for others, to bring cleansing and power--not giving place to the enemy in any way.

Make sure you and others are girded up and fighting.
*
Don’t give place to lethargy or any spiritual attacks and evil ones.

Hold up a standard together and individually against the devil.

Have the love of brotherhood; correcting and counselling one another, safe guarding; listening to and reading what the Lord has shown others—Godly counsel.

Together you are stronger.

“Greater things than these shall ye do” Jesus told us, because He gave us His Spirit to enable us to do them, and these “greater things” can be activated through using and accessing the Keys to the Kingdom.

Messengers give the message--every Christian is called to be one.
A message is given to a messenger, telling them they can walk free, that they are no longer a prisoner of war.

They get so happy, they sit down with their friends to have a picnic

--forgetting totally, that the meal isn't being served yet.

That comes after all the guest have been invited.

They were to let the others know that they too can be free and walk out of the prison camp.

But the messenger is afraid of those who are holding the prisoners captive.

The captors know the message is true and once the people in their shackles find out, they will have to let them go.

So the captors do all they can to stop the messengers from reaching the prisoners.

Will you go? Will you be a messenger? Or be secluded in the blessing of  your freedom?

How do you think the King who granted the freedom will feel towards you if you don't go, when He asked you, and asked us all, to let the others know and get them to take the step to walk out of the wrong camp?

You and I were worth His life and death, and resurrection.

Are you soldier enough to follow orders to let the other prisoners know they too can walk free?

Knocked out of the ring--Talked out of it!
Some unwise, hoodwinked souls, have been talked out of fighting for the faith, or fighting effectively, by some seemingly witty brains and proud souls--who make sure to use fragments of scriptures taken way out of context as part of their deterrents.

There are lots of things being said and used to stop others; and to stop you.

Without listing each false doctrine and tactic, let’s just make it easy for ourselves to detect if it’s something truly from the heart and mind of God:

--Basically, if some theory CUTS DOWN the numbers of WORKERS/witnessers for Jesus, or makes them LESS empowered to do the job, IT IS NOT HELPING the Kingdom of God!
Jesus said,
Luke 11:23
He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

Study the Bible thoroughly for yourself, cover to cover, repeatedly, yearly.

Get the full and correct picture.

But even that's not enough.
We need to be taught of God.

Jesus said we also needed a personal teacher to go along with the text book of instructions,
so we’d get it right,
and take appropriate action,

because things were going to get tricky and confusing in the battle for the Earth, of releasing souls and reclaiming them for Jesus.

 Get your personal instructions from God's Holy Spirit, how you personally are to get the most wins for God’s Kingdom.

**

Unlike what some other religions claim about their "book" that it was the last and final word from the Being that is in charge, the Bible is not the last and final word from the God who made the world.

If you read it through and through, with this in mind, you will notice a constant element:

God wants to talk to people about their life's plans and direct them, with fresh counsel.

They are to refer to what He has said before; God already said it, so He doesn't need to repeat too much.

But after reading and knowing what He said, we are then to get fresh messages from Him for the now, for the today, for our lives here and now.

Jesus wants to keep speaking.

He is “The Word of God” and keeps doing what He does.

We shouldn't presume we can interpret the counsel in the Bible on our own or just take another person’s interpretation of it, thinking we or other humans can automatically know from a single reading what each of us are meant to do today.

Get guidance from "the Spirit of Truth" who will "guide you into all truth." --God's Holy Spirit who speaks to us today. (John 15:26; John 16:13)

Revelation 2:7
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

In the last book of the Bible it keeps repeating that we are to listen to what Jesus wants to say--and He will reward the "Church" the believers for doing that.

You get rewards for doing tough things.

Why is it so hard to pass on a true message from God?

 Because Satan and the world and the carnal mind of man don't like it.

Prophecy and persecution go together.

And just like new revelations were revealed over the history of mankind, by God's Spirit, spoken to the prophets, or messengers who voiced it and wrote it down for people to hear, Jesus still has new revelations and mysteries to show us, and new counsel to follow.

Just like the Early Church in Paul's day shouldn't follow each of the things the Hebrews needed to do thousands of years earlier with Moses--as it would hinder them from reaching the people in their generation with the Gospel, so do we who live in the world in these days need to be willing to be flexible.

If there is something that the Early Church and first apostles thousands of years ago were told that they should or should not do, we need to be open if the Spirit of God tells us that something might not be for us to do exactly to the T, while fighting today’s battles for the souls of men.

Although it’s very commendable to follow the programme laid out in the book of Acts, for example, and many more should try to follow it. That alone would assist in the winning of many, many more for the Lord.

But we need to also say Yes to Jesus if He leads us to use even more radical and far-out methods and means of helping save others, if and when His Spirit leads.

Not doing less, not trying to be more comfortable and accepted by society, but willing to go even a few steps farther than they were able to go, when Jesus asks for it.

He knows His battle plans.

He just needs those willing to do it, at all costs.

--To cast aside their self image, and go all out for Him.

Is God the boss?
Is the Holy Spirit the Guide?

Did Jesus say that He had more to say, but they couldn't bear to hear it at the time?
Maybe now is the time.

Are you listening?
Is it wild, as in different than the world around you?
But is it right according to God?

Then please God and not man.

Paul the apostle wasn’t afraid of doing what the self-righteous ones called “naughty and sinful” .

He said, “I am become all things to all men... to win some.”

In fact he even said he’d rather be a castaway, he’d rather not go to heaven, if it meant somehow it would bring others to Jesus.

Are we that self-sacrificial?

Moses said something similar when interceding for the salvation of the people he was sent to bring out of Egypt so they could get to know the Lord.

To save them, in a desperate prayer, Moses said he would rather be the one to die, so they would be saved.

That prayer was honoured.

Are we that all out, that giving up of ourselves, that self-sacrificial, that desperate for the saving of souls that we offer ourselves so others can live?

Or at least offer our pride and self-image and the approval of even other Christians, so God can use us as a tool to reach the lost?

That’s the kind of disciple to whom He’ll say,

 “Great is your reward in Heaven.”

Goodly or Godly?
Being pious and perfect, and doing things
"to the letter" or according to what some people think is perfect, is not the goal.

Just about every person that God called for a brave job of being a messenger and prophet, God asked them to do things that were "no no's" in many people's books, and even "don't do's" in God's book for the general public,
as the general guidelines.

But God can make exceptions.

He can use anything as the winning plan,
the tactic to win souls.

Don't rule anything out.

You are not God and don't make the battle plans.

Do as instructed,
and change again when it's time.

There will be plenty of surprise attacks that Jesus makes on enemy territory with His trained, obedient team.

If the life and death of others is at stake,
especially the spiritual life or death of millions is touch-and-go, God can give extreme orders and take extreme measures to save them.

He does not like death.
He loves each one He created.

It's a very personal thing to Him
 to lose a soul, forever.

And if it was because I didn't do what He prompted me to do to reach out to that person,
I fear what Jesus will say and do.

I must obey Jesus,
not bend with the opinions of mankind.

Will you be happy forever--if you are saved by grace, and yet just do as you want?
Or rather, will shame and punishment be awaiting you after your resurrection?
DANIEL12:2
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

We speak of the joy of Heaven hereafter and of Life Eternal.
And that is true.

But we need to do "our Master's will."

 And what is that?

"To go into all the world and preach the Gospel" and to "make disciples of all nations" and to love the brethren, those who believe in Jesus.

"Ye have done it unto Me" He said if we give and share with and care for the other believers, His "brethren" even if we think they are "the least" and not very great in our eyes.

We need to strengthen each other, and "bear the infirmities of the weak."

And "These things I command you that you love one another" Jesus said to His disciples.

(Obedience to that would rule out the shameful harsh words and persecution of believers by others who also consider themselves to be believers.)

Jesus said those who didn't even know what they weren't meant to do, but still it was wrong, will get a light punishment, as training and strengthening.

But those who knew what Jesus commanded and didn't do it, will get tougher discipline and painful punishment.

Luke 12:47-48b
And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. ...For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required.

These are saved Christians, going to Heaven, but perhaps they sat around counting dollars and having tea parties, or something,

meanwhile the heart of Jesus was burning with pain for those who are lost.

And burning with anger for those He sent to rescue the lost but they did not listen to their pager beeping telling them there was a job to do.

"Their works do follow them"--what you do in this life is going to catch up with you.

Revelation 14:12-13
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus... Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Whether you are doing things for the Lord or just for yourself, or worse yet getting paid off by the enemy to fight against God's messengers, or just sitting idly and doing nothing (even though you have the ability to do something)--it's going to catch up with you, either way.

Life now is a testing ground, and you'll find out then, in the next life, if you passed the grade or flunked miserably.

And flunk we will, if we don't study the Text Book and listen to the Teacher--God's Holy Spirit.
We need both.

Or, rather we need all three:

We have to also then do the work that the Book and the Teacher said to do.

Will your works cause you to shine and burn brightly?
Or will your works just burn as kindling?

Luke 12:49
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

Daniel 12:3
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

God's-Inspired fellowship with believers truly resists the Devil and Glorifies the Lord

If you are going to take time fellowshipping with other believers,

if you still have the luxury of it and it hasn't been clamped down yet
--which it eventually will be, more and more--then do it Bible style; Holy Spirit style!

And let the Devil be heard to scream when he hears that you and others are going to get together,

because he knows it does some serious damage to his evil works and plans;

that it stops his plans and works in the lives of the individuals involved, and in the lives of many others.

Some powerful elements of fellowship might include:

--Being refilled with the Holy Spirit

--Joyfulness and praise in song, dance, instruments, laughter, sing in tongues and with known words

--Reading the scriptures and applying it to your life and your works for the Lord today

--Praying for each other for deliverance and healing

--Sharing and talking about the revelations the Lord gave each one, and scriptures the Holy Spirit is using to lead you

--Declare and tell testimonies of what victories have been won for God's Kingdom lately

--Hear from the Lord in prophecy, and with the interpretation of tongues

After a time of focused Christian fellowship,

I think you should left with feeling loved, set free, joyful,

have done something humbling,

and are ready to serve and sacrifice for the Lord that day.

My idea of a powerful meeting of believers is one that sends the enemy screaming,

and terrified that you are once again going to meet!

Scared because of all the havoc that is wreaked on his devilish domain, all his bad plans that get spoiled.

If your getting together with a group of believers doesn’t produces this

—and sometimes does the opposite, breading dissention, doubt, or just wasting time that you could be using to share the Word with others or time taking in the Word yourself

—then I question the value of that time spent with believers.

It should leave you strengthened, as an individual,

 and the Devil’s hold in each of your lives and mission work seriously weakened.

Or it’s not doing the job.

Question it and make the changes.

That’s what all those “two can put ten thousand to flight”

 verses are to remind you—that the purpose of meeting is to put flight to the enemy.

If you are doing it right, uniting can be a powerful and wonderful thing.

If not, then you are wasting precious time.

You are there to fight and be armed;

to fight and be healed;

to fight and to love one another;

not to bathe in pools of “all is well and we are happy, and that’s enough for us.”

And for God's kingdom's sake, be open to fellowshiping with believers all around, and having others fellowship with you.

Don't promote this ungodly way of thinking that members have to stay tied to a certain building and a certain  person.

Fellowship around with many, and have people coming and going as God's Holy Spirit leads.

If all are teaching whatever the Lord wants to be said then and there,
to whoever shows up for fellowship,
then it will be on target.

 You don't need disunified "denominations" but dedicated bodies of believers, all getting filled with God's Spirit and speaking as He leads.

Money shouldn't be part of it.

Even Paul the apostle said that he wasn't going to be taking an offering when he came.

 (If they wanted to, they could do it at another time, he said.)

People can and should give tithe to the Lord's work as a sign that the Lord is their Master; He rules them, not money.

But just who their tithe gift goes to can be whoever the Lord shows them it is to go to.

Some people save it for years and build it up and then give it to a missionary overseas others give monthly donations to people who are working fulltime for the Lord without any income.

Let the buildings, if you use one, be totally the property of God, and filled with the people He brings that day, and the message as He wants taught, and the fellowship be Holy-Spirit filled.

Maybe there needs to be a difference between the times for
the "fellowship of the saints" and
the times of Bible study and teaching.

If a teacher is in front of the class, then it is natural for all eyes to be on him.

But when it's time for spiritual fellowship, it's not a show.
Sit in a circle;  
or sit on the floor facing each other;
or on chairs in small groups;
or on couches with your arms around each other;
or on the grass outdoors;
or at a dinner table in different people's houses;
or don’t sit at all but stand or dance or hug while you speak personally to each other and pray for one another.

But if blending the two—trying to teach at the same time of spiritual fellowship—squelches the Spirit, then realise something needs to change.

Separate the two, so there is freedom when there needs to be, and focused time of listening and learning by someone sharing a Bible study or fresh message or key information that God gave them to pass on.

Moving Mountains
We need faith to do the impossible, and faith to tell others about Jesus.

Faith comes from God's Word--written, as well as His commands to us today.

When we know He has said something, then we have faith to do it--at least we are in fear of NOT doing it.  

Obedience and faith go together.
Fear stops obedience.

We can have faith if we are obeying what Jesus says to do.

When the mountain was ablaze with smoke and fire, and loud sounds were heard, the people were afraid and didn't want to talk with God.

But God told Moses to come up and talk with Him.

Perhaps Moses was afraid to go, but he was more afraid of NOT obeying a God that powerful.

He showed faith in the love and righteousness of God to go and be in His presence on the mountain.

Jesus said with faith we could not just go up a mountain, He said we could move the mountain, if needed.

Has that happened?

Have people put that to the test and God honoured it?

Yes.

The lives of many Christians were at stake one time as an army of unbelievers said that the Christians would be done away with unless this passage in their Bible came true and they asked God to literally move a certain mountain to another place.

So, they prayed with faith and asked God to move it.

 And He did!

They were saved; and the unbelievers were amazed.
(As reported in the historical footnotes of the book of the travels of “Marco Polo”.)

But just rotating geography isn't what it's all about.

Mountains of kingdoms of the world, governments, can be moved too.

Some missionaries were being persecuted by the new strong rulers of a country.

They prayed for the government to change for the better. It was overthrown in two years!

And what is more, the Christians were called upon to help bring civil order and peace in that place. They were the only ones that seemed to be able to do it.

God moved that kind of mountain, because they had faith in Jesus the King over all.
(As reported by C.T. Studd's son-in-law.)

If you lack faith, turn off the media and get your learning and information directly from God.

Don't keep pumping yourself with Satan’s propaganda and declarations of his pitiful attempts to capture the world.

Instead listen to the stories of those who are seeing great victories won around the world.

Hear about true stories that tell what faith can do, faith in a God who does the impossible.

And then see it first hand as you step out by faith to put God's Word to the test yourself.

Make it a practice to daily declare to others the victories of God's winning team.

Boost the morale of those on the winning side!

What is in
CHRIST'S CATALOGUE?

What can you ask for in your life of service, to get you out of tight spots and have the upper hand?

 –ANYTHING!

God specialises in things thought impossible.

He has done and will continue to do that which is out of the range of humans.

He loves being asked to do the most far out things, if it makes a win for His kingdom.

He loves to see that you take Him at His Word, and believe that He has total control on all elements of the world, knows every thought of every person on Earth simultaneously, and has a pulse on your personal situation.

When He said "greater things than these shall ye do" and we can ask "whatsoever" we need,
 He meant it!

Here are some ideas of things He has done for believers in the past several decades, and can do for you today if you need it and it's the winning tactic in the situation:

--walking on raging water

--instantly arriving at a place needed to go in a split second without travelling the distance or the passage of the time it should have taken

--visiting a place in spirit to help people in a different country or area then where you live, seen by those in visible form, and then you vanish as your spirit returns to your body

--water becoming wine in answer to prayer for a special communion service to honour Jesus, when none was available otherwise

--information needed and not known, typed on the computer screen when you go out of the room for a moment and have prayed for the Lord to give you that information (without being on the internet)

--sudden, painless, speedy and easy childbirth, without any medical helpers assisting, when unable to get a doctor's help

--pots of food miraculously not running out while serving many hungry people, and again as they came for seconds and thirds; then when all are well fed, there is still food left over to save for later

--needed items suddenly appearing there, and vanishing when finished using it them

--hearing voices aloud that warn of dangers and save lives from certain death

--animals acting out of character, even against their normal instincts, to help people in a variety of ways; or dangerous animals stopped from harming a person who claimed God’s protection

--fire that doesn't burn something important, or someone, when strong enough to melt metal, all else around is burnt

--walking through solid objects, and being unharmed or not even noticing the blockage

--miraculously staying warm in deadly cold conditions for long periods of time, without any protection but the Lord

--after getting bones broken and put to death and tossed in a heap with the others, then standing upright afterwards and walking away alive and well, to continue preaching the Gospel!

... Just to name a few.

Being a true believer and follower of Jesus has never been the popular or accepted thing. Never.
At its beginning, the Bible says: "...for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against. (Acts 28:22)

If the place where someone is living, things are completely comfortable, not getting even the slightest opposition in the physical or spiritual for them believing in Jesus, there is a good chance they and others have veered off in the wrong direction, or have been deceived.
The Bible says,
Luke 6:26
Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

For one, the Bible said not to be building-based, but to "go in to all the world" and to "go from house to house" and God does not dwell in temples made with hands.

And it's an eye opening piece of information to know that a certain ungodly, secret, keep their heads down religious order was promoting and constructing many of the buildings used by Chritians, for the past few hundred years.

Why did they want to box us in?

Maybe they were building a sepulchre for the Christian faith and hopped it would die off.

 It seems to have worked for some people, as they are no longer out making disciples of all nations.

Break out of the box.

Leave the modern day tower of Babble and society of the world and get travelling, or get trained, or get teaching the youth where you are, as God leads.

Use a building if it is as a lamp burning brightly, filled with those who are on fire with God's Holy Spirit, and is as a train-station.

A station to temporarily train disciples, and then send off those to go and tell others the Gospel, making room for a new batch to come in and be trained.

--Used merely as a a stop off for filling and feeding, and then moving on out to do as God's Spirit leads.

The Bible is the Basic Handbook—and can be trusted.

*When the health and eating guidelines spoken of in the Bible are not followed, ill health and much death occurs. When people take it seriously and turn to the Lord’s Word, they gain their health back. Dr. Day and many others were cured of cancer by taking the healthy living counsel in the Bible.

*When the Bible has been discarded as the moral code and foundation of society and education, then civil unrest, violence, crime and death follows, and ruins countries and families. In the late 60’s, in Australia when evolution was the new belief and Bible teaching was taken from schools, the count of youth suicide rose much higher from then on.

*When Christians don’t really know their book well, and do things that are contrary to God’s instructions, there is disunity and inner fighting, thus hindering the fast spreading of the Gospel. When Brother Yun, an often persecuted Chinese Christian went to encourage the faith of those in the West, trying to inspire greater dedication to reading the Bible and preaching the Gospel, he was slandered by other’s who called themselves Christians, and meetings were cancelled.

*There are fascinating science facts told of in the Bible that are only recently being discovered, or rediscovered, and some are yet to be found out by modern man. One recent one is about the springs in the sea, and “paths” of the water in the ocean. And when believing archaeologists dig with practically holding a Bible in their other hand for guidance, they make amazing, on target finds.

*The strongest nations and the most civil nations started out with basing their governing on the Bible. As they veer away from that, nations and the quality of life decay. Without listing names, those nations who had the biggest impacted on the world, originally had set things according to the Bible. Those places with much disease and poverty follow strange religions. However now that most places have tried to give God the boot, everyone is having something major troubling their land.

*Those who read and study the Word of God with faith and an open mind, eager to learn what God’s Spirit wants to tell them, and are just as quick to obey, seem to retain their mental health and wit as they age and get older. George Mueller read the Bible every morning, and committed his needs to the Lord in prayer, putting the weight of the problems into God’s hands. When he was in his 90’s he said he could think just as clearly, or better, than when he was in his 20’s.

*Just the presence of a Bible, the written document of God’s Word, can have a powerful effect and aid in fighting the Satan and his inroads into people’s lives and homes. “It’s burning me!” one evil man said, when looking at the Bible in a Christian’s hand. Then made the wise choice to switch over to the side of the greatest power—Jesus Christ—and accepted Him as Lord and Saviour.

*What the prophecies in the Bible said would happen did, and we know the rest will happen as well. Through it we know our past, can deal well with the present, and know what the future holds. No fear. Genesis told of a saviour coming, and it is spoken of in many books of the prophets. He came. He said he would come back again. And we know He will. All the signs He said to look out for prior to His appearance, have happened.

*No matter what your interest, your occupation, what you have suffered, what challenges you are facing, the Bible can point you in the right direction, bring healing, and lead you to the best use of your life. The Bible talks about everything from laundry men, to kings, bereaved mothers, to best buddy men friends that work as a team for God; carpenters, doctors, inventors, artistic weavers, founders, gardeners, farmers, leaders, families, children, and loner prophets dwelling in caves. The list would go on and on. Whatever you are, you’ll most likely find something or someone in a similar situations, spoken of in the Bible.

*There is no thought that crosses the minds of a human that is not dealt with in some way, in the Bible. The one who made us and can read our thoughts, wrote the Bible. Aiming for His thoughts makes us wiser. When Daniel asked for God to reveal to him the dream the King had the night before—and the interpretation. God did that seemingly impossible thing, and yet went a step further. He told Daniel what the king had been thinking about before he went to sleep that night. God knew, and the dream was the answer to the question on the king’s mind.

*Marriages that use the Bible as their handbook and guide for their family, and read it daily, can maintain stronger and are more beneficial to their children. A young man didn’t wish to live on, while going through the pain of a divorce, and thinking about losing his children. But he started reading the Bible. The light shone on his heart and mind. He chose to live, found a wonderful new wife that would share his faith with him, and was able to raise his children as well. His frequent reading of the Bible and talking with the Lord brought a blessing to him, and kept his new family together.

12 Tips for Taking care of your Temple

The Bible tells us the health tips; teaches us the morals to have; give us counsel on how to get along with each other; and instructs us in how to survive or endure all kinds of difficulties. All the main troubles in the world would be solved if we obeyed God’s Word better and sought the Holy Spirit on how to apply it to our situation. It’s all in the Bible.

Here are some happy and healthy living tips from the very first chapters of the Bible. If everyone took this advice, along with loving and following the Creator of the World who instructs us, the world would be a very different place. History would be different. And the health of people and land would spring and flourish--like it will one day, when Jesus comes to rule and He ensures that those on Earth follow His guidelines for a happy and healthy life.

Genesis 1 topics for good Health:

*Be born again, baptised with water and the Spirit of God; become a new creation of God. Wash and stay clean.
*Daylight, sunlight, proper lighting aids health—physically and mentally. See and read the right things that fill your heart and mind with “light” things that give you inspiration and help you to see things in the right way. Realise there is darkness—that is things that bring you down, spiritually and physically. Choose to embrace the ideas, thoughts, objects, products, practices and so forth that are filled with “light”—Godliness. Shun and close your eyes to the darkness.
*Breathe in fresh air. Get enough oxygen in your lungs (clean, unpolluted air; oxygen in your skin (wear cloth your skin can breathe well through, and scrub off old skin, non chemical-filled cloth), oxygen in your blood (drinking clean water, getting out in nature, getting good daily exercise). Let the “Breath of God” the Holy Spirit of God fill you, daily. Breathe in Heaven.
*Time in nature. Walk. Explore. Farm and grow food. Learn about different seeds, how to grow them and use them for health. Climb the hills and mountains. Hike. Swim in the water. Picnic under trees while enjoying the fellowship of God the Creator. Walk barefoot sometimes. Smell the flowers. Live in a good place, and living in a home made with healthy, natural materials. Use the natural resources to provide what you need, rather than manufacturing things that pollute the land and give you ill health, and keep people indoors too much just “making” things.
*Get good sleep at night. Know that just as the lights in the sky overlook the world, so is the Lord keeping watch over you. Rest, stress free, at night. Keep on the time schedule that is right for you and your work for the Lord.
*Just like the sun, the moon, stars and planets are seen to move through different places in the sky, with different schedules and orbits, so does each of us need to do what we are mean to do, what God has ordained us to do. We too have different seasons of life, and need to do what we are meant to do. God is the one we need to take our orders from. Let Him direct our life, not the world. Just like the Earth doesn’t tell the lights in the sky what to do, but the lights dictate to us when it’s time to rest, when to rise, etc. If we are God prompted, following His cues, we will stay safer, be less stressed, and accomplish what we are meant to in life. We will have greater fulfilment and joy because we followed the light of His counsel.

*When we think of sea and sky (like the fish and birds live in and explore) we too think of exploration, and mysteries yet to be solved. Reaching beyond the comforts of what you know, and trying to learn about new things, new places, is good for the mind. It brings a needed sense of wonder, and of humility that the mind of the Creator, God, knows so much more than you. Learn true and good things, daily. And to get to know more, you need to spend time with Him and with what He made. As just like there are mysteries to discover in the natural world, in the deep waters and high in the sky and in the universe, so are there mysteries of the Spirit that God can reveal to those who seek it out. –Like those who explore space, or dive deep in the ocean. God’s Word, written and freshly revealed, can show us things that teach us, inspire us, challenge us, and make us want to know yet more. Time in God’s Word daily, for inspiration and education, is a very important part of maintaining health—of body, mind and Spirit, as well as having happy and healthy families.
*Take time to learn from animals, play with pets, care for creatures of nature. Observe what you can learn from them, as living and fascinating object lessons in the amazing classroom of earth. Learn to care for them, and be benefited from what they can provide for us. People need responsibility—knowing that others (and animals) depend on them to be diligent and hard working. People need humility—knowing that they aren’t to be unkind and forceful, trying to get their own way. People need challenge—something that makes them stretch to learn and do more than they did before. Caring for animals, training them, or observing them in nature, and seeing and how they work hard and or care for each other and do amazing feats, teaches these things; provides these things. A healthy and happy person needs things in life that teach them and requires them to be both responsible, yet carry it about with humility; and things that challenges them to be the best they can, and do the best they can. People need others who behave responsibly and act with humility towards them in order to both survive and thrive, and who will trust them to take on new challenges and encourage them in their efforts. In short, we need to respect each other and care for one another, and appreciate each other’s qualities.

*Eat mostly fresh foods, raw foods; veggies, fruits, and seeds, in their natural state; or fermented healthily. Use natural healthy oils from things that have grown. Stay away from processed foods as much as possible, and only cook what needs to be heated. Be moderate—no unhealthy addictions. Take in the Seed of God’s Word daily for spiritual feeding, and emulate the fruits of God’s Spirit for good health and happiness for you and others—love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.
*Have fellowship and loving communication with, and getting to know someone. Have a good friend or partner that supports you in doing what you were created to do and be. Have time fellowshipping, communicating with and getting to know Jesus. Let Him be the spiritual partner who you know will help and support you in doing what you were created to do and be, and will guide you and answer your questions, and teach you what you need to know and learn. He will heal your body and heartaches too. Time with Him daily is vital to a long, healthy, and victorious life.
*Have a day of rest, regularly; and makes sure you give rest to others. It’s not enough for you to rest if you are making other’s work too hard. For a happy society everyone needs a break, at least one day a week, for time with God, and each other, and time to enjoy being out in God’s creation.

*Listen to what God tells you to do in your situation; rules for happy and healthy living. Listen and obey. He has personal counsel for you. The fact that you obey, pleases Him and He likes to bless you for it. You’ll be surrounded daily with choices. Don’t listen to the wrong. Let God’s voice and counsel be what you follow. Let His Word be the final Word.

Three years of training, for all—then get fully active, and “Go preach the Gospel”, making disciples of all nations.

Be the salt God sprinkles throughout the world;

not salt sitting in a stationary salt shaker that has lost its savour.

The world is going to be shaken, alright, and you’d be glad you were out preserving the faith and bringing a Godly flavour in the place He most wanted you to be.

Be trained, and get training others to promote and preserve faith in God.

Jesus prepared His disciples for 3 years, and then said, “Go” and sent them.

Leviticus 19:23-25 –3 years to prepare the trees to bear good fruit, the fourth give to the Lord, the 5th start to see benefits from the fruit, personally.

Leviticus 25:21—The sixth year was blessed enough to have what was needed for 3 more years, so the seventh could be a rest.

Luke 13:6-9—Fig tree to bear fruit after 3 years, on the fourth year.

Deut. 14:28; Amos 4:4 –Bring your tithes after 3 years of nurturing.

Acts 20:31—Paul warning with tears, 3 years.

Daniel 1:5—Nourishing 3 years, then did what they were trained for, all the wiser for it.

Galatians 1:18—“After 3 years I went up.”

2 Chr. 9:21—Solomon’s goods brought to him after 3 years (bring to the King what we get for Him in foreign places).

2 Chr. 11:17—Strengthen the Kingdom for three years.

2 Chr. 31:16—The 3 year olds started to get portions of the food for the servants of the Lord, trained to serve Him.

1 King 22:1—There were 3 years without war—we can pray for peace for this time of training to feed the sheep to become shepherds and soul harvest reapers.

Isa. 20:3 For 3 years the prophet Isaiah worked in the nude, to tell others what God wanted them to realise.  A desperate attempt.

And the “years of a hireling” is “three years”—a workman.

So those of us who are working to tell people God’s Words and prepare them for what is to come, might need to have a three year plan to do the job in a certain field.

There is about 3 years until a new child is ready to fully stop nursing, on his own—ideally—and to have all the needed strong teeth and digestion to eat most things.

They can handle some meat, and don’t have to depend on the milk primarily.

After 3 years of the final 7 years of the old world’s history, there is to be the strongest persecution ever, but still the greatest signs and wonders done for and through God’s people.

So after preparing, there will be opposition as we do the job of recruiting souls for God’s family.

***
After nurturing new members of God's Family for at most three years, they should be strong enough to stand on their own in some respects.

There should be a plan for training, just like any other learning course you take is for a certain amount of time, and for a purpose of going and doing something with what you learned.

You can be busy and active while getting training and put into effect as much as you can.

But after a few years, launch out, and have your trainees launch out in doing what God is callling and has been preparing them to do.

We're not to be in endless nursery lessons, but warriors in trainging, as the battles are coming, and we and our flock need to be ready.

We are not to be in "daycare" for years on end, but graduate to the higher levels of learning and engage in active training in God's school of the prophets. --Learning what He wants each of His messengers to know and be skilled in.

Are you saved?
Are you a believer?
Good.

What did He save you for?
To train you and use you to be a rescue worker for Him.

The flood is coming.
A flood of lies and confussion, more than ever.

Be as a strong one that knows how to opperate a boat--that is, know how to live for Him, primarily by faith, not dependant entirely on the world system, and knows how to work with others in the faith.

Then when your world gets totally run over by the AntiChrist system, and all the things you and others may be depending on are upset, you can still be afloat. Not merely saved, but able to help others through this time of major upheaval.

When we are not obeying God’s Word,
we may instead endure 3 years of troubles:

•	3 years in time of no rain,
•	with Elijah (Luke 4:25)
•	
•	3 years besieged (2 Kings 17:5)
•	
•	3 Options of punishment,
•	all with 3 in them, one of them to last for 3 years
•	(1 Chr. 21:12)
•	
•	3 years of famine (2 Sam. 21:1)

Considering these examples from the Bible,
if we focus on getting
strengthened personally,
and strengthening the faith of others
for 3 years at most,
then we can be ready to
bear much fruit by the fourth year,
and beyond.

No more sitting around.

Active and at your post.

We don't know what is around the corner, but the stronger we are to face it the more the Lord can depend on us to be the overcomers that He desperately wants us to be!

If there were merely 12 New Disciples of Jesus getting trained Spiritually to be part of Christ's strong team...

And each of those found 12 others ...

And each of those also trained 12 others...

And so on...

After the first year,
the numbers get so high so fast,
that there aren't even close to
that many people on the planet!

It could take a very short time,
for a large and most importantly
strong-in-the-Spirit team
 to be getting prepared.

And for the Gospel to be preached in all the world!

Revelation 14:6-7a
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,  
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him...

You pray, “Even so Lord, come quickly?”

You are waiting for His return?

Would it surprise you to think that perhaps Jesus is waiting for you, for us, to get the job done that He asked us to do so that He could return?

He’s waiting. He’s delaying.

–Not so we can have time to be slothful and enjoy a bit of Heaven on Earth, struggling to make life as nice as we can, for ourselves or others.

He’s waiting so that more people have a chance to be invited to the Marriage supper of the Lamb, to be part of God’s family, to become sons of God that will inherit the Kingdom and help him rule.

Revelation 14:6-7a
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,  
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him...

Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

A challenge:
What if just one person--perhaps you--chose to teach and train "Jesus Style".
That is they found 12 people they wanted to get strengthed with and help prepare spiritually for the coming "war with the saints". The spiritual battle waged against all believers.

If there was merely 12 New Disciples of Jesus getting trained Spiritually to be part of Christ's strong team...

And each of those found 12 others ...
And each of those also trained 12 others...
And so on...

If each one that was getting training and spiritually strengthened reached out to 12 New Disciples each month, to get them "jumpstarted" in being trained with Jesus...

After the first year, the numbers get so high so fast, that there isn't even close to that many people on the planet!

It could take a very short time, for a large and most importantly strong in the Spirit team to be getting prepared.

All it takes is one person starting this going, and keeping at the training program for a few years, teaching others to teach others, and the job will be done. We will be ready.

And Jesus can come back, pleased His team is strong and ready, and all who should be reached with the Gospel, will have been.

Say the "disciple calling", of 12 people a month, by each one, goes on for half a year--each one just needing in total about 70 people they were training (Like Jesus team of 70), if you do the math, it's shocking to see how fast it is to reach the goal of reaching everyone on Earth, and most imporantly training a team for the showdown, before the coming of Jesus.

All it takes is one person starting this going, and keeping at the training program for a few years, teaching others to teach others, and the job will be done. We will be ready.
And Jesus can come back, pleased His team is strong and ready, and all who should be reached with the Gospel, will have been.
Then truly “The Gospel would be preached in all the world” and then “the end could come”.
You want it to at last end—all the troubles and evils? You pray, “Even so Lord, come quickly?” You are waiting for His return? Would it surprise you to think that perhaps He is waiting for you, for us, to get the job done that He asked us to do so that He could return?
He’s waiting. He’s delaying. –Not so we can have time to be slothful and enjoy a bit of Heaven on Earth, struggling to make life as nice as we can, for ourselves or others. But He’s waiting so that more people have a chance to be invited to the Marriage supper of the Lamb, to be part of God’s family, to become sons of God that will inherit the Kingdom and help him rule.
There are angels ready to help this come about, as it says in Revelation:

Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Revelation 14:6-7
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,  Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Jesus said we’d think things were being delayed, but not to misuse the time and muck around with evil and foolishness, as it says in Matthew 24:48-51.

A challenge to present:
If, just if—we all focused and did the job of “preaching the Gospel in all the world”, and did it “Jesus style” by training 12 others–if even only one person in this room today took up the challenge to start it off, and everyone he trained did so as well—by the end of 7 years, well before the eighth year started, there would be the whole world’s unbelieving population reached. Not only reached with the message of salvation, but trained as disciples to carry on in their walk with the Lord, and endure persecution and the coming tribulation. And we’d all be ready for the King of Kings to rule over all.
All that would be needed is one willing whole hearted follower and student of Jesus, teaching 12 others each year to know and love and receive the Lord into every part of their lives—and teach them to reach and teach others; also 12 a year, per person. They could keep teaching those they reach for 3 or so years, if needed.
Then truly “The Gospel would be preached in all the world” and then “the end could come”.
You want it to at last end—all the troubles and evils? You pray, “Even so Lord, come quickly?” You are waiting for His return? Would it surprise you to think that perhaps He is waiting for you, for us, to get the job done that He asked us to do so that He could return?
He’s waiting. He’s delaying. –Not so we can have time to be slothful and enjoy a bit of Heaven on Earth, struggling to make life as nice as we can, for ourselves or others. But He’s waiting so that more people have a chance to be invited to the Marriage supper of the Lamb, to be part of God’s family, to become sons of God that will inherit the Kingdom and help him rule.
There are angels ready to help this come about, as it says in Revelation:
REV.14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
REV.14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Jesus said we’d think things were being delayed, but not to misuse the time and muck around with evil and foolishness, as it says in Matthew 24:48-51.

We might be praying, along with John,
REV.22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

We may feel as if we are saying, “Lord come and put out the fires! Return and douse these flames of trouble in the world! Rescue us!”
But the Lord might be responding:
“I will come—but first you must sound the fire alarm, show people the exit sign and where to make their emergency exit. I’ll come and drive them away to safety. The fire will purge the old, filthy place. Then I’ll douse it with the water of refreshing. Then you can go back and rebuild with Me a better place.
“Whoever you don’t want to be left in that burning place, you better let them know the way out. Personally, I don’t want a single person left there. I want all to be saved; but that’s up to you and them, in many ways. I’m on my way. If you don’t sound the fire alarm and show them the way out, I’ll hold you accountable for them not being saved.
“If they choose to disbelieve you, and think the room they are in is safe and fine, or they think they can plan some better way out, and miss the rescue ride out due to their pride, even though warned and invited, then it’s their problem. But don’t let it be you that didn’t show the way, or were too timid or sleepy and comfortable in bed to get up and sound the noisy and disturbing alarm, to warn of the danger.
“You’ll all be happier then, when I take you redeemed ones from the flames to my station—especially if all or most of all are safe and sound. I’ll suit you up and give you a feast, the like you have never seen or tasted before. Then with the strength you’ll feel, you and I are going to fix up the building. We have a great future together. But our team won’t be complete without the rest who are there in the burning building, that are lost and wandering and don’t know the way out. Find them. Sound the alarm. Lead them to the emergency exit place and through the door. I’m coming.
“Are you ready? Are they ready? That’s when I will come. I do want as many as possible to come. I keep spraying a bit of water here and there, to give more of a chance so more can get out before the fire burns it all up. But I won’t linger forever, for it’s time, soon time, for it all to be renewed and the plan to be completed. It will ‘end’ the way it began—with a beautiful garden, and a loving God what walks in the garden with those He created—and this time without the deceiving  serpent. But I’ve let the fire breathing serpent go on for awhile, as it’s making people want to fly into my arms, even though it’s looking like he’s just messing up the structure that I made. But when you see the great finale, the happy ending, it will be worth all the trouble you’ve been through. And the serpent will get his own medicine—the fire he deserves. Those who chose Me, Jesus, and forsook the decaying world and all its luring lies, will have great joy. Seeing and enjoying the renewal of My creation will make it all worth it.”
JOE.2:1 Blow ye the trumpet ... sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand.

(Here is a passage from John Bunyan’s book  saying “sound the allarum” if there is a fire. --From Life and Death of Mr. Badman)
O! that I could mourn for England, and for the sins that are committed therein, even while I see that without repentance, the men of Gods wrath are about to deal with us, each having his slaughtering weapon in his hand: (Ezek. 9. 1, 2.)  Well, I have written, and by Gods assistance shall pray, that this flood may abate in England: and could I but see the tops of the Mountains above it, I should think that these waters were abating.
 It is the duty of those that can, to cry out against this deadly plague, yea, to lift up their voice as with a Trumpet against it; that men may he awakened about it, flye from it, as from that which is the greatest of evils.  Sin pull’d Angels out of Heaven, pulls men down to Hell, and overthroweth Kingdoms.  

John Bunyan writes:

Who, that sees an house on fire,
will not give the Allarum
to them that dwell therein?
Who that sees the Land invaded,
will not set the Beacons on a fame?  

Who, that sees the Devils,
as roaring Lyons,
continually devouring souls,
will not make an Out-cry?  

But above all, when we see sin, sinful sin, a swallowing up a Nation, sinking of a Nation, and bringing its Inhabitants to temporal, spiritual, and eternal ruine, shall we not cry out, and cry, They are drunk, but not with Wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink; they are intoxicated with the deadly poyson of sin, which will, if its malignity be not by wholsom means allayed, bring Soul and Body, and Estate and Countrey, and all, to ruin and destruction?

In and by this my Out-cry,
I shall deliver my self from the ruins
of them that perish: for a man
 can do no more in this matter,

I mean a man in my capacity,
than to detect and condemn
 the wickedness,
warn the evil doer of the Judgment,
and fly therefrom my self.  

But Oh! that I might not only deliver my self!  
Oh that many would hear,
and turn at this my cry, from sin!
that they may be secured from
the death and Judgment that attend it.

Are the Warriors of God Getting Ready?
A message and a dream, from February 2019

REV.13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
REV.13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
REV.13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
REV.13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

[Book excerpt: ] Daniel the Prophet, By Scott MacGregor
We are also told of this war and persecution in Revelation. "[The Antichrist] was given authority to continue for forty-two months. … It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation" (Revelation 13:5,7). Forty-two months is equal to three and a half years, and so "a time and times and half a time" can be understood as three and a half years.
	The length of this period is repeated a number of times throughout the Scriptures, and it covers the time known to us as the Great Tribulation, the second half of the Antichrist's reign that immediately precedes Jesus' second coming. It is not a pleasant time on Earth. In a later message given by an angel to Daniel it is described as "a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time" (Daniel 12:1).
***
I woke, heavily impressed, stirred and moved with this message:
It was granted to the Beast to make war with the Saints. (Revelation 13:4-7)
In and out of sleep I wove with a moving dream further making the point.

Christ gives the unpleasant, yet predicted signal that now, at a time appointed, the “Beast” could go for it. He lets the Beast (and the Dragon that all he does is powered by) loose on His Bride—His Earthly Army.
Because He has (or wants to have) prepared them for this battle, to fight against the evil.
Are we getting ready for this show down?
Are we being trained?
What do we need to do to be ready?
Is God’s Army of Believers that fight in the realm of Spiritual warfare well trained, instep, and in sharp obedience—the one army that “The Captain of the Lord’s Host” will lead? (Joshua 5:14-15)
Or are Satan’s followers more obedient, trained and loyal?
“The Wars of the Lord” (Numbers 21:14) term is used; scuffles have gone on between the teams (God’s angels and followers and Satan’s) all throughout world History—in the spirit, and sometimes in the flesh.
But the Big one is coming—the “Great Tribulation”.
Are we a weak team—that are meant to be strong warriors?

In my dream that followed this call, warning, impression, several thing occurred, that I clearly remember.
There were church attendees going to a church, but rather than a serious time with the Lord, they were all getting nicely dressed up in attractive clothing. They’d meet each week in this church building. It was empty inside, and the activity they attended was frivolous; just fooling around, dancing in silly ways, instead of having time to get serious with the Lord, and get strong in spirit.
I was walking away from the social church gathering of prettily dressed ladies, with this burden in my heart. I was pondering what to say to wake them up to the situation coming soon upon them. We had to tell them! They had to prepare to be the strong, well-trained, Heavenly skilled warriors of the Lord, for the battle coming up. We were all He had to work with. What kind of an army did Jesus have?
It was soon before God gave the grant order, the permission for the official battle to be put in array. It was not a fight over a country, nor for wealth, but for the sole purpose of seeing if Satan, could finish off the Bride of Christ, the Believers; Satan “Making war with the saints”.
Jesus, the Captain was ready, but was His weak team up to the task? It was coming. Ready or not. It’s a part of History, still yet to happen; but recorded in God’s Word as a happened, set in stone, definitely occurring event.
In the dream, the Body of Christ was not up to it. The world and fun, image-keeping, and gift-giving took the place of preparing for the battle that was up ahead. No one could say they didn’t know—that is if they read the Bible well. But were they taking it all seriously? Or had the opponent got them to think it was all in fantasy world—and living in the worldly ways of today was all that mattered?

(Continued from "Awaken")
In the second part of my dream I was talking with a man, a single father.

He was wishing for a good and godly partner to help him out.

He had taken some different ladies out one by one, to go eat at restaurants, to try to get to know them and see if they would be a good partner for him, and a good mother for his children.

But it seemed all the places he went to had ‘all you can drink’ alcoholic beverages dispensers.

In the dream it was like it was a new thing—very cheap and all you wanted for the price of what used to be one drink.

Each of the ladies couldn’t resist.
They drank and drank and got drunk.

He could never find out what they were really like.
Beer and wine had taken their senses.

Matthew 7:23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

They weren’t able to help to team up and work together to do good, or help care for children.

It was as if it was a new tactic or focus of the enemy to incapacitate people by the availability of abundant drink. He was knocking them out of the loop.

Not only were they not getting stronger and trained to battle with the enemy, but they couldn’t even operate normally.

There were so many wins on the wrong side.

The enemy was winning by giving seeming pleasure and fun, and thus weakening the troops that he was destined to fight against later on.

By making them not be alert, not getting skilled in Spiritual warfare, not even doing the basics of what they were meant to, the battle was going to be very easy later on for the enemy of God, when the time came for it.

The Devil would knock them down like sticks!

John Bunyan wrote:

But above all, when we see sin, sinful sin,
a swallowing up a Nation, sinking of a Nation,
and bringing its Inhabitants to temporal,
spiritual, and eternal ruine,
shall we not cry out, and cry,

They are drunk, but not with Wine;
 they stagger, but not with strong drink;
they are intoxicated with the deadly poyson of sin,
which will, if its malignity be not by wholsom means allayed,
bring Soul and Body, and Estate and Countrey,
and all, to ruin and destruction?"

--John Bunyan (in the 1600's)

In the third part of the dream I was talking with a young teen girl.

There was some game or otherwise, that linked people up to buy gifts for one another.

I was supposed to get one for this girl.

She was emotionally pressuring me to get her better gifts; something more expensive.
1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.

It would have been easy for me to think that was indeed the right thing to do.

I felt pressure that that is where I was to put my focus, to join in with the game and expend more to get better and bigger gifts—for people who didn’t even need it.

It could seem like I was doing the wrong thing not pleasing the youth in this way.

But I didn’t want to get so involved in internal gift giving.

The call would come soon for the battle.

I needed to focus on warning and helping to train people.

(We should be focusing on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, not of worldly possessions.)

Colossians 3:2
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the Earth.

In a forth part of the dream there was a woman holding a baby.
She actually had two to care for,
 and needed help.

She asked a man to help babysit,
but the baby soon very much needed feeding from mama’s milk,
and was crying.

Only she could give that.

Men and women are to both help to care for new believers.

This part of the dream showed that a woman’s gift of feeding the milk of the Word and raising and training new believers was essential—can’t do without it.

Proverbs 1:8
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.

God is calling ALL believers,
men and women, old and young,
to teach and preach the Gospel,
to feed God's sheep and lambs.

No one is exempt from the great commission.

All must obey or give an account before the Lord why they didn't.
--Or why they hindered others from doing so.

We need more harvesters!

Pray for them!

And encourage your family members to take up their  sickle and reap.

“The People who know their God shall be strong and do exploits.” We need to learn and teach how to use God’s Power to fight and win in the Spirit of God.

Matthew 22:29
Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

Are there many striving to strengthen the warriors of the Lord in using the Power of God?
Those surviving in heavily persecuted areas may be the most trained people around for the Great Tribulation—those who are getting beaten and imprisoned.

But they too are desperate for training, for they fall in doubt and are heavily attacked in spirit, not just body.
“Find the need and fill it” is one way to find God’s will.

We need to learn, and we need to teach both the Scriptures and the Power of God.

***
JC:

Who is Christ's Team?

Jesus says:

Come out and be separate.

I will mark you as My own.

You don’t belong to this or that group of people, but are on My team of representatives there on Earth.

You wear the emblem and are there on commission.

Fall not into the trap of 'groupitess' but cleave to Me, Your maker and Provider, and I shall sustain you.

The fall of mankind is to link up to others in order to pursue their own set of goals that are contrary to Mine—as in the fall of Babel.

Link up to Me, get your orders from Me. I will direct your path.

You are not to call yourself by another’s name, ... associated with [only] a certain religious body of believers ... but a member of all who are true to the faith.

***
JC: I’m desperate for leaders, I’m searching for those who will lead. So few are willing to pay the cost of showing others the way. For those that try, are picked on, despised, misunderstood, and persecuted. The Devil aims stronger attacks on those that are threatening to do more for the Lord and lead others in the way of the righteous King. It takes utter yieldedness to God as King to be a true and great leader of light in these troublesome and confusing days.
But the children of light no longer sit in the shadows, but rise up to shed light on to others’ path, and to let it glow in their eyes.
No longer is it to be this or that group of followers, but the Children of the Kingdom as one body of believers seeking to do their Master’s will.
I’m calling from all around the World, seeking those who will rise up to fight against the Enemy and His forces. You can’t do this on your own, and you will indeed need others to work with you—both in the flesh and with fighters in the spirit. I’m calling a new army now, from all around the World who will do My bidding. Don’t delay. Don’t miss the call. Come and follow Me, and I will make you fighters for men, who would perish otherwise.
Now is the time to sign up to work with the troupes of Heaven, with Me, Jesus Christ, as commander and chief Captain. Will you join? Greater empowerment means greater success. Those who would rather play and let the world all get worse without them doing much to lift a finger, are going to find the flood breaking in on them. Those who choose to be on My team at all cost and give up their easy life now, will be on the life boats, the rescue vessels, zooming through the icy and dark waters, trying to find those who thought they had all the time in the world to eventually do this or that.
I’m calling a new army, the old is passed away, and behold the new is forming. Wholehearted folks from all walks of life are marching on. Not everyone has the full and only truth. But all need to seek Me for My Words of life to lead the way, to lead those who need to get to know Me.
Find out the truth and let it empower you.
You don’t know all there is to know. They don’t know all that I wanted to say. He or she doesn’t know all truth from A to Z. But if you all follow Me wholeheartedly, I’ll teach you a thing or two that will make you truly have an edge over the rest of the masses that are being now washed away in the flood of untruths across the world.
If you don’t want to be a casualty, then hop on board when I bring the boat around to your port. Wanna ride? Want to survive? Come on then. Yes, you’ll have to leave the ways of the world, but that’s okay because it’s all going to go under soon anyway. And when the water at last abates you can help to set things up the right way. If you only learn the ways of the world, then before you can even be of any help in the ruling time of My reign on Earth, you’ll have to go through a “detoxing” learning course to “unlearn” all the folly and begin to learn to do things My Way, in the ways of God. Those who “come out from among them and be separate” will be strengthened.
Learn all you can from the Holy Word of God, reading it daily with concentration, and committing large parts to memory.
Learn all you can from the great men and woman Who I showed much truth to and who suffered for My name. If they were true prophets and messengers, they suffered persecution, or would have if they lived long enough, or their followers did. But they chose Me above getting the world’s opinions.
Learn all you can from modern day, whole hearted believers. I am revealing new things all the time, and if you are keen and listening, you’ll learn what will give you strength.
And always match everything up with the Bible, and My true voice of My Word in your own heart telling you what I want you personally to know and see and do.
You have to have a connection with Me now too, as I want to be your personal life-coach. Don’t neglect your relationship with Me, for that is your life line, what will give you strength.  Be brave and strong and give Me your time and attention.
If I could have had every single member of every church on Earth to accept Me into their heart and to learn to use every bit of power from Heaven to fight against the enemy, I would have been over the moon with joy. If I could have every believer on Earth rise up to fight for the faith, rather than living moderate lives that require little spiritual empowerment, I would have been deeply grateful.
But as My Word says, many are called, but few are chosen. I call and keep calling, but only those ready and willing to do things My way, will be capable of what I need them to do. I call people to get ready, and when they choose My way above all, then I can select them for the special troupe that I need now to fight and to survive in these darker days.
I’ve called you, but will you be able to be chosen, one of the select, that fight on and on, unhindered and unfettered, unchained and unbogged down? That choice is yours. If you choose to be on the winning team—not just the team taking the ride to Heaven, but the winners of the battles of the Endtime—then it will take all you have got and more: it will take you enjoying the use of all that Heaven has got.
Look to Me as your Captain, do as I instruct—by first reading all you can that teaches you of My ways and helps you get to know Me.
I need you too, whoever you are, whatever you think you are. I have called you too, by My name. You are invited to the special forces of God on Earth—a team that has many other types of Christian believers on it. All those who wish to do their Lord’s will, and love not their lives unto the death, whatever it costs. And learning the ways to keep from dying off prematurely, but driving back and away the evil from hindering your own life and the lives of others; taking the upper hand in the situation, because you tap into the power from Heaven to empower you to work supernatural wonders, in the name of Jesus, your Lord and Captain, the one you serve.
Take your daily lessons and training drills, for you can be sure that sometime during the day you will need to put it into real effect, for never a day goes by when you won’t need to use the power of Heaven you are learning to use. There is never a completely ‘calm’ day, for the battles rage daily for the lives and souls of men.
Seek out the book of the Lord, and learn it well.

It’s not about denomination, but about devotion.
--Get free from whatever holds Satan has you chained with, so when the whistle is blown and the evil one has full rights to get at every last one of us, you won’t be disadvantaged and an easy target, too weak to fight, as you haven’t been trained.
--World offers lots of 7-days plans, or detox, get in shape. Give yourself a jumpstart to get you quickly on the offensive and getting ready for the showdown, the final battle against God’s children on earth, during the great tribulation.
--You affect your children. Maybe it is they who will be the one present when the Beast is unleashed (as was played out in the arenas of Rome, with the early believers, but in the end of the world will be more spiritual in nature, and we need to be ready to fight in spirit.)
--You know, not everyone that died as a martyr in those days for their firm faith in Jesus, had everything doctrinally correct. In Paul’s letters he was always having to try to set things straight.
But when the lions, bears, leopards, and bulls, etc. (Revelation 13:2) were set on them, none of that mattered. They were all, actually, on the same side.
If they had helped each other to read and really study the scriptures and hear fresh from God each day, they might have been more on the same pages, theory-wise.
But their love and unity, and the fact that they all had chosen to serve and follow Jesus and accept Him as their way to salvation, made them all on the same notable team that stood out from the idol-, violence- and riches-worshiping crowds.
The love for each other helped set them apart and showed the people of their day that what they had found was something no one in the world could produce
—unless they knew “that way” and were willing to die for love. Just like Jesus Christ Himself had, that started it all off in the first place.

--We’re in this together and we’ve got to help inspire each other—knowing each one’s value to the team—to get armed and well prepared. The “Beast is to be released, and we are in the arena. However, this time, we aren’t all to be casualties, and won’t be if we have been trained and armed in Spirit, and prepared!
-- We are to put on the armour of God. Have we done it? Are we learning and practicing with it each day? Do we really know what is available from Heaven for our use?
Are only some believers allowed to be well-trained and armed in spirit, while others are left to remain easy targets? –Or are many called, but few act like they want to be the chosen, the elect, God’s elite? How far you go for God is up to you. He offers you everything that the Bible says is available for a believer and spiritual fighter for the faith. He loves all His children—and He especially loves it when they chose to behave like men and women surrendered to His orders, and go in the heat of battle and use all the “Latest tools” to get in there and get the tough job done.

I’m reminded of the example in history of Queen Esther, and the battles.

They were doomed to die, all of them, every last one that had chosen the true God as their one true God.

But the people were given equal rights to fight for their life and the lives of their children.

This was not a battle for land or riches or power—but against them,
and a to-the-death battle.

That didn’t change. That was still unchangeably going to happen, on schedule.

 The only thing that happened that changed things was they were alerted to fight for God’s sake, and with all their might.

They rallied and flung themselves into winning.

They had faith.

It was fierce; it was intense.

Then they did it all over again the next day.

Their lives were saved, not because the enemy was forbidden to get at them, but because they chose to unitedly fight, and were set free to do so with the approval of the King, Queen, and their right hand man.

God was on their side.

God is issuing the call!

The enemy is training his team and is going to be given a chance by God to get at us Believers.

God allows it because in the end God’s enemy will be defeated.

We need to get spiritually prepared, get trained. Get ready and give it our all.

You don’t have to succumb to spiritual defeat.

And like Esther exposed the evil one, so are God’s Bride to let the truth be known and give His followers a “heads up” to get ready.

She fasted and prayed.

She took risks to go into forbidden zones to give the warning.

So must we do so as well.

Fight on our face in prayer, then take the steps of faith that will get God’s army alerted.

Then get on with the job God has for us, with all our might with His Spirit, and God will fight on our side.

REV.13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

JOS.5:14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?
JOS.5:15 And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

To Jesus:
Hold me right next to You, my Lord and Sovereign, that the touch of our souls can ignite the warmth of a fire that will burn brightly and call others that are lost in the darkness to also come to Your side.
Just to believe in You is no longer enough--not enough if we want the rest of those who are also a part of Your heart to be called and to come to You. The world is too dark for that. It's going to take fire. It took fire in times of old when the believers met You in the flames. It's going to take the fire of Your Spirit burning in me and on me and through Me.
That can only happen when I touch You, when I am near You. To get close to You I must often go through the suffering that You felt, the threshold of dying so that others might live. That is what You did. That is what You called us to do, if that is what it takes.
Here I am, naked, stripped of worldly glory, bleeding along with You, Master teacher in the art of missions to the World. I see Your hands and arms are stretched out. I follow Your example. I'm learning day by day how to do as You did. Then they will come, then they will come to Your side when they see the flame of not only Your love that sent You to the cross, but the flame of my love for You, that drew me to Your side. I am the fuel, You are the light and flame. Let me burn bright together with you. I offer myself to You to use me as You will, to create the light that You need in the world.
The greater the darkness, the brighter the light that is needed, so it can be seen in the farthest places.
"Let your light so shine" You said.
I thought that meant turning on a little flashlight, or a blub in a nice building to attract people to come. But no, not now, not ever again will that be enough. It's too dark; it's too late; it's too urgent. Your need for them to come is too overwhelming and passionate. You need and want the hearts of all to come now. Only intense heat and the flame of God burning in the hearts of those who know You will even begin to be enough.
I am not to merely hold the light, but to be the fuel that burns. You are no longer to be as a torch in my hand, to be held by me, or used, or set down, or covered as I see fit, as I attempt to bring people to know You. But I am to be as the rod of the torch in Your hands, and You can use me as You wish to draw all men to You. Your Spirit is the fire and You are the hand that holds the torch. I place myself in Your hand so that Your light can be seen.
I need to be near You. I want to have Your light on me. I want to be held in Your hand. I want to be that close, and never let go of. This way I will truly be useful.
A flower on the wayside is nice in the day time, and might cheer the heart of the children that are allowed to walk merrily along. But it's no longer the daytime, but the night. No one will see Your beauty shining in me if I only want to be a flower in the sunshine. You need new tools. You need burning hot ones, freshly lit from the coals under the throne of Heaven.
Yes, I want to be transformed into a rod in Your hands, dipped in oil and lit with fire. No one will see me. It's too dark. But if they can only see Your fire burning on me and be drawn to You, that is enough. It will be hot. I will get burned. And I know that without the light on me I look very common or worthless. An old charred bit of wood. There is only one place that I am worth something, and that is in Your hands and lit aflame.
Burn in me, Holy Spirit of God, burn so that others can see the true light and be called to the throne and can enter into the Kingdom of God.
I want to be one with You, be like You, shine with Your light, be used of You, and be very near You, always, dear Jesus.

-add from my note to Maria and not a dance but battle, and from not books.

Living for Jesus...
..is not a choreographed dance
But a Battle.

We're not taking well-rehearced steps,
But taking step-by-step orders from God.

We are not here to entertain,
But to drive out the Enemy.

We are not just to have fun,
But to fight for faith and freedom.

We may not know what to do or say next,
But we are to daily get to know Jesus.

Those who are taking their orders directly from God, are rare and make Satan's team tremble!

Give men back their balls! (Poster of man holding some sports balls.
(If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything!
Stand straight--stand tall! Don't drop your balls!

 A few hints on new tools and gifts for winning in God's Army today:

(Ask the Lord; search the scriptures; find those disciples who have them and can train you or help you to learn more.)

*Discover deeper ways to love Jesus with your entirety, in full-soul, intimate ways.

The closer you are, the more power He can impart, cause He knows you are utterly loyal and committed.

*Be open to more and new ways to "love one another" so the enemy doesn't exact on them. Shield the believers with God's pure love.

"We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren". (1 John 3:16)

*Let the Keys of the Kingdom be revealed more fully to you, and to many, and used heartily in prayer daily, in any situation.

*The gift of prophecy can be asked for by anyone, as they submit their life to the Lord and commit to doing anything He wants them to do.

The Living Word of God, Jesus Christ, wants to guide you through life now.

*Explore and engage in new ways to praise and worship that bring joy to the Lord and humility to us--thus drawing us close to Jesus in wonderful ways--and repelling anything that is not of the Lord.

*Nothing is impossible with God, and the gift of faith can be given to those who love and imbibe His Word--Old and New. With faith, all things are possible.

Read and watch and listen to true testimonies that show how God is working, and wants to work through you as well. --And stop drinking in the false.

*Get your eyes opened to the realm of God's Spirit, the unseen beauty and power. This can be a refreshing break from the troubled world.

New things can be shown in vision or through messengers of God sent to you. He may show and tell you things He's told no one else, or very few.

Take time to take in God's Realm. Keep your eyes on Heaven!

*Learn to listen to and work with the Angelic Host God has sent to guide and teach and correct you, helping you to reach your God-given life's goal, and to learn all you need to while you are here.

*Be aware that there is a dark unseen resistance to anything you wish to do for God's Kingdom, and give no place to the Enemy.

Give up whatever is weakening you and hindering you; anything that is being used as a weight in your life. Purge yourself and get clean--physically, mentally, Spiritually. Fight with light!

*Learn to pray effectively in God-pleasing ways. Fight with prayer. Love with prayer. Work with prayer. Play with prayer. Talk with prayer. Listen in prayer.

Make it your first way of attacking problems and challenges. Human strength and cleverness is no match for the troubles you'll be facing. Call on God's help for doing what He has called you to do.

*Be desperate to make time daily to read God's Word--all you can get your eyes on. The Bible is the main foundation, but Jesus keeps speaking.

He is the Word of God, and "the same yesterday, today and forever." He has not nor will ever retire. Know the Bible well, and find out what He wants to tell you about it today.

Find out also what Jesus is still passing on to His messengers today.

*Ask for as many gifts of the Holy Spirit as is needed for your life and ministry--those mentioned in scripture, and many more that are ready to be given for service and Spiritual Warfare today.

*Get daily infilling of the Holy Spirit by doing whatever it takes to get it--usually something that is humbling that connects you with Jesus, something that God asks of you.

For each person, and at different times, it might be something different.

*And don't be afraid to discover and believe what the Bible REALLY says--even if it shakes your world and most of what you have been taught.

But don't let truth be a casualty while you conform to the world for comfort, or you'll be seriously uncomfortable when God shakes the planet!

Truth--the Truth of God, is your greatest tool for helping to build the Kingdom of God. It will keep you afloat through the flood of lies.
