End
How important is this salvation issue to God? He is always very serious about it. Even to the point of sacrificing limbs to assure it. "For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there are eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it".Matt.19:12 Jesus spoke these words out of compassion. All of this is very real and very serious.In a very short time eternity is upon us.
Perhaps the most disconcerting of all this has come with the realization of who Jesus really is and who the Father is. It says, "No man has seen the Son but the Father, and no man has seen the Father but the Son, and to whom He may reveal Him". so the question is, whom have we seen? The answer is the Father. And the realization of just how close this very Creator of the Universe wants to be with all of us. Each one of us, personally. Jesus's sacrifice can put each one of us back in the garden, like Adam, face to face with our Creator. Yes face to face with the Truth of Life, surrounded by His Creation, will you worship/obey creation and the Creator?
How Much Pain and Trouble have both the Father and the Son gone through, to get to this point in time.
The realization that this voice who either has spoken to us, or has wanted to speak to us so many times, audibly and in our consciences, is that same voice which spoke to Jesus in Galilee. And when we pray, when we talk to Him, He is this same Father who listened to His Son, who sacrificed His Son specifically to be able to hear us. Yes, this is all very serious to God. Don't listen to anybody who says anything different, period, ever never. John 14:26
Our lives here and now are so short. Before the great flood man lived for a thousand years, even in sin. But now it is only a maximum of probably years, how can this even be compared to an eternity? Everything is so desperate to distract us from the Truth, to turn our attention away from what we know in our hearts to be the smartest things. Look in a mirror it reflects our hearts. The Bible has been around for so long, desiring to help us.
In every movie I have ever seen about the Bible, they say the animals entered the Ark, two by two. Even this so simple a thing "they" get wrong,,, only the unclean animals were in two's, all of the clean animals were in sevens. Noah did not have to gather or herd them they came to the Ark. They did not have to feed the animals all that time, and work and toil emptying the manure, because the animals slept the whole trip obviously by the power of God.
We are responsible for our own lives, "run the race" be smart, seek out the Truth. Find a pastor who knows what race is being run, and what for!!! To conform themselves into the image of Christ, that is the answer. If you follow the blind you fail, you both fall into the pit. Behold a kitten and see God's heart and love for us. Don't blame God for the evil men allow to happen or do!
Look on any but the latest maps of bible times, Mt. Sinai is not in the desert of Egypt, but directly south of Jerusalem in Jordan. If a pastor says God does not move strongly in todays time, even so far as to heal our illnesses, ask him if he ever fasts to be closer to the Father, most likely he does not. Matt.9:15. Ask him if he has ever heard the voice of God talk to him,,, and yet you expect him to show you how? Read the Bible. We, as the Body of Christ and "members in particular" are to "run the race set before us" conformed to His image.
God is very real, yes He has some requirements to obey, as most loving parents do for our own good.
Do not give up, depend on Him to help you. Don't be silly in what you require of God. He is there and that is enough, obey love.
To love God first, and His Creation, and your brothers as yourself is what all of the law of God is about.
Is there a way out? To just absence ourselves from all of this?
A way to escape and avoid the terrible things
that are about to begin happening on the Earth?
(All of all mans false pride must die here)
Jesus Christ's blood, what was it worth to a corrupt world? Our sins are not more powerful than His Blood.
You and I both were Born doomed. All the way from a little baby, to the devils friend,
that blood covers everyone ever on the planet (except Judas Iscariot).
He knows all about the "Mystery of Lawlessness". Please listen, the only ones who cannot be saved & accept Him,
are the ones He created to be evil. Which, you, were, not. And He sure has been very, very patient.
(I don't know whether to cry for you or hit you with a chair).
Yes. But you have to attend a wedding as a,,,,, Virgin Bride.
His story is told in parables so it's symbolic of a supernatural event.
All of this starts the moment you set your heart to seek God.
The very moment you desire to stop lying to yourself, and to listen to your heart.
Then you can look in the mirror with a sincere desire to stop believing in lies.
The Joy and Hope you will feel, is something we should all never forget.
This is an open letter to my fellow Americans, and to the world. Swords are easy for everyone to understand, they are either offensive or defensive weapons, but these are pointed at us. We should know by now the difference between right and wrong. Each of us either embraces the simple truths in life, or not. We used to call it common sense.
Seeing but not seeing, blind or just confused, we are a nation unable to tell right from wrong and we have chosen to believe lies. Animals have instincts to guide them, but we have our consciences, reasoning and common sense to help us learn right from wrong, or we could learn by trial and error. We have failed in all three, or is that four.
Some of us have become blind, and our ears are dull. Many don’t care anymore about common sense or the Truth, and just want what they want regardless. When the Truth gives us light and hope for the future, because the Truth has Life within itself. Each of us are the kings of our own world, we can do that. Distinct in our own identities. Our opinions are what we are, we shape ourselves, and in America our hearts and minds are the image of America.
As a nation we are comprised of many distinct parts, individual identities, these images form a body. All together in the Book we also project a national image, yes, a very huge, graphically symbolic supernatural Image. Yes, there is a book, this image mirrors our national identity and this symbolic image of us in this book is not a good one, and that is what the swords are about.
This Book is our guide, the history and destiny of earth is in this Book. From nothing to now and beyond, it is an Eternal Book, you can bet your life on it. Can we count the ways God/Fate has saved our lives so often?
Who or what do we think we resist when we deny the Truth? Are we as self-focused as Adam was? We know about him, or Israel, they deny the works of Jesus to this day, but God is still working with them, and our time to decide is about up, because we have already made serious choices as a nation, and when we oppose God, we are in the way.
So to explain more about these swords, they are of course a supernatural thing, not metal blades floating in the sky, they are symbolic. Nevertheless they were, and are very real. They are as real as rain. We don’t see water going up into the sky and yet eventually it all falls from there. Water is heavy, very heavy so what’s with it floating up into the sky?
A brain would no doubt be able to explain away this miracle, and also the old “intelligent design” retort of, “What came first the chicken or the egg”? Nevertheless, the chicken, the rain and swords all come from the same place.
All mankind should believe in a Creator, because He is clearly seen in nature. We see nature, we praise nature and say we understand it, how wondrous it is. We see The Life and Light and Truth of Creation in nature, and yet we deny the Creator. There is no excuse for that; In the very last days the kingdom of darkness will war more openly against the Kingdom Of Heaven and His people.
I’m alive today because of the power of the Grace of God, and this common sense. To know right from wrong in the same way we know it might rain when dark clouds form overhead. By reasoning and the use of our senses. What am I saying? What am I begging you to understand?
These are the last days of America. Like a vivid full color scriptural comic book, rich & vibrant in unmistakable symbolism. The swords are a symbol of a supernatural fulfilling of scripture. For some it is a joyous event, and it still can be for all of us.
The gentiles,as the Jews before us have turned our backs on God. A nation is like a single body of it's people, if it violates a natural law, nature itself corrects herself, and it's the same for divine laws. The swords are symbols of divine laws scripturally set in order before our eyes, as a warning and not just to His followers.
Later, the Lord spoke to me and said,,
"Why do you think I showed that to you?"
“You have to tell people about it”.Everything is supernatural
and what matters most
are the words we speak
Rom.10:10, Mat.12:36

I will say this, everybody, the people, the church, the christians should have spoken louder when America PORNED with the whole world
Our Light to the world is now Dark and "how Great is that darkness".Matt.6:23
Our Freedom is now Rebellion to God, and (some of) our leaders have said we have never been a Christian Nation, despite the Declaration of Independence.
Judgment,,,,,, Stand in the Holy Place Matt.24:15
Where to begin?
Is it possible to believe that
America is the Mystery City?Jer.50:42
How else could a drunken whore
have sex with the whole world?
INTERENT PORN
I read somewhere a man wrote that any man who says that he had NOT fornicated on an online PORN site is a Liar. Well, he is a liar, Because I have Never fornicated on an Online PORN Site. When my fourth son told me that the internet was full, absolutely loaded with PORN I was VERY DISAPPOINTED with the United States Government, for allowing it, yes Allowing it.
EVERYONE IS INVOLVED!
Concerning the Vision of Swords
What can I say, it was there. At the time I had no idea of their meaning although I was understandably awestruck. The interpretation is the only one possible for me, of what we become possibly Before the Rapture. Beginning with the swords formation in two groups, Double, was the indelible term that stuck with me and my description of them. Scriptural reference is Rev.18.
Please do not think for one second that I enjoy this interpretation! Below is a personal plea for people to accept the earth as a creation of God, which is a Primary Requirement for mankind Rom.1:20.
Beyond that is my own scriptural walk as I strive to enter fully into His rest and the fullness of Jesus Christ. "The beginning of wisdom is the fear of God"; and "to whom much is given, much shall be required" luke12:45
And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, To Him be Glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Eph3:19
I saw this,,,
Some of Americas churches are asleep, apostate and don't even know it.
They don't even know what "race" is being run, like some Jews before us.
They are most likely the five virgins that are left behind at the Rapture.
If Bible Scripture is something new to you, such Vivid and Dramatic Characters
might seem unreal, but our sins and Our Eternal Destinies are not Fiction.
I was told to tell you "about it", and so I definitely will.
Knowing it IS possible to escape this judgement, and dealing with the fact that most people I see are going to die soon, and horribly but they don't care, why? Have they heard it before? No, but they know it is the Truth. Acts 28:7 How can I possibly say that? If they have ears to hear the Truth, they know the Truth when they hear it, period. Rom. 1:20,
This situation causes very ugly memories of my youth in the service, the officers would not listen to a dirty grunts advice and people would die because of it, often, and sometimes immediately and horribly. It really did a job on me, after awhile and several occurrences, I temporarily lost my hearing, sense of touch. My mind also slipped somehow, since our lives were not important. I lost the ability or desire to reason and I wanted to die to escape the confusion. If that sounds too traumatic I apologize. It was all very intense as well with enemy soldiers, shooting, even laughing, all very dramatic, and God delivered me from that, somewhat intact.
Everyone already knows what the swords mean to some degree or another anyway. They are a symbol of multiple things; the whole Bible, weapons of slaughter,Ez. 9:2 a sharp weapon of discernment, the spirit of Christ, the power of judgement, a defensive weapon.
To me these swords are a symbol of impending judgement. To the world now, a twisted symbol of love, an intolerance of evil, and a terrible fulfilling of the destiny of the children of rebellion in their fathers rebellion against God, Mat.23:32, and most importantly the end of an age.
The end of the age of the Gentiles, Luk.21:2 when the Holy Spirit is lifted off the earth. A very dramatic destiny indeed. But today, now, the door is still open, Rev.3:20. Please accept Him and ask Him into your heart. And the heads of the Christian church in America decline to discern even the existence of America anywhere in the Bible. The swords are also a symbol to this sleeping church. How does this effect me? It terrifies me for the world. He does say "Will I find faith on the earth?"
Many many multiple millions will die all within one hour, and they don't absolutely have to. But before our entire continent is toast, the Holy Spirit is lifted off the Earth for Three and one/half years of almost unspeakable unrest, natural catastrophes, war, and the very visible supernatural battle between the powers of darkness against God, heaven, anyone confessing Jesus, and the nation of Israel,,,,, all without America.
Can any of us even imagine what this world will be like without America? ....But America, like ancient Israel, use to be a golden cup in God's hands. Our memories of how wonderful and honorable our country used to be. But now it is filled with blasphemy and cursing, as was ancient Israel before it was judged. Ez.20. God is gathering His people back from the four winds into which He'd scattered them. Zac.2:6,
Bringing them back to Israel.Rev.18:4 The scriptures speak plainly of all this, and it all is vital to know and understand, but I'm not sure knowing the wheres and why's is any consolation when compared to the destruction ahead for all those who resist the Truth, preferring lies. Why do this, when they all Repent in Hell? "So iniquity shall not be your ruin." Ez.18:30
Our country is violating the Bible, how could we justify blasting porno to the whole world or teaching sodomy to our children, and denying God? Practically every federal building in Washington D.C., their interior's are covered in Bible scripture carved deeply in marble, floors ceilings and walls, and yet now our government and many of our people have turned against Him.
I have been working on a compilation of scriptures in which God makes His intentions known. (it is now located a little further down this page)
If you have followed the link to Jer.50 you have an example of the reading I have been doing, reading that is when I wasn't overcome by mourning and crying and watching old, old movies.
Isaiah 13,14,18, Ez.20, 28, Is.65, 66, Jer.50,51, Rev.17,18 are the primary chapters, & Eventually Daniel.
I have had as much consolation in Psalms and other scriptures as can be afforded considering the circumstances. For me Jer.50-51 are as unsettling as any scripture can get, terribly upsetting. Old testament judgement in the 21st century.
Foremost and overall, the further understanding of these chapters and the degree of there dramatic and fervent intensity, is very noteworthy to say the least, so much so that even saying that is an understatement. So now what?
God really, really hates, I'll just say it, God really hates all sexual sin. This is a massive, epoch, supernatural war, but the real war has almost or nothing to do with sex. God's dominos, and He tells us, everything.
So what are we to do about it? What do we do now that we know that this is the fate of, "The New America!", very soon? I can say that because we know how fast time passes.
Understand and secure our salvation, and our assurance for the rapture! Think of your Kids & Friends.
Have Matt.25, with 1Cor.6:9, clearly understood for yourself and those you love.
To a sleeping church this news should be an urgent wake-up call. To all of us it should motivate us in other ways, to study scripture to be prepared, or be left, the heck, behind. Because if we have not crucified the flesh in the flesh, and possibly in thought, (Matt.5:28 you decide) we may be required to crucify our flesh, in fact. Rev.18...checking (those slain for the faith by the harlot).
All of these chapters tell us the same DRAMATIC thing. God is not sloppy.
He watches every single detail unfold in all of His Glory and Power from the comfort of His home, His man cave. Is.18:4.
I realize I have not yet posted the context of all of these chapters in a time line. The reason for that is because it just keeps expanding, not only in the breadth of our understanding, but also the sequence of events and details.
Frankly it is an enormous task, a rotten and depressing task, and one I may not do. All of the chapters are easy to place and understand. I am considering a different approach, just a narrative accompanied by the chapters in parallel.
All of those gone before us (John Wayne, Lee Marvin etc.) have gone to their graves in relative peace in the world they created 2Kings 22:2. While we are left with the one we have created since 1948. This is extremely comforting to me.
My opinion is that the very dynamics of creation, God, His will, laws, everything that happens occurs according to Gods design. His enemies destroy themselves, they rebel in the way He chooses, fall into their own traps etc.
They also often look and sound like crazy idiots for a reason! What reason? Out of love. Even a child knows good from bad, to see the truth as adults we need only look in the mirror, without lying to ourselves or otherwise justifying improper conduct. We can see this even now, our Leaders seem stupid.
God instigates this beginning of the end with trickery, imagine that. He tricks the proud, spoiled fat rich and powerful ruler of the whole earth, into invading, they actually invade Israel !
How, how does He defeat us so easily? To begin with all the Christians are gone out of our armed forces and nation from the rapture. That is also why I believe "they would have healed her but she would not be healed". All the Truth, Life and Goodness has gone out of her. Also...
He will destroy out of her the "Great Voice" Jer.51:55, and though she should "fortify" up to the heavens she will be defeated. Difficult to do? One solar flare would do it, all of our technology gone, satellites, all weapons (bows) broken, with one wave of His mighty sword.
But my vote would be that a device we used, backfired. Something we designed against our opponents, when implemented permanently disabled all of our own rifles/weapons. That sounds like all of our weaponry including rifles are going to go very hi-tech in the near future, turned on & off at will, by others. Or, even a bug could cause it.
There is also the subject of the elderly, Is.47:6 which frankly I believe has yet to happen, whatever. Even if the gov. took all the very old out, they would just make it look cheery like a saturday cereal box instead of death. Have you ever visited a typical ward room for the very old? A very sobering experience. The walls are lined with gurneys occupied by the ancients, who upon seeing you just scream, the lesser ask constantly for water which causes them to have to pee, which means they must be changed, a nightmare, day in and day out, year after year after year after year.
The Swords, this is what I watched. I prayed,
I expected Him to say something profound, He replied simply
"My Sheep Hear My Voice"
I first learned of the internet filth from a young adult, and it really grieved me the thought
of all the little faces in the whole wide world looking up and seeing what America had become.
All of those sweet little faces looking at our filth, our nations desire, our shame.
I also remember when I first saw the remains of the twin towers,
it was looking down on two squares of the completely flattened skyscrapers and I thought, no goat herder did this,
only God could destroy buildings like this.
I think of the swords vision just like another event in the Bible because
it is nothing less than that to me. It is like the writing on the wall and it means
the obvious, Judgement, big time.
If you know nothing of the Bible it is a call to find out, by reading it.
If you do read the Bible it couldn't be easier than praying and reading it again with understanding.
God says that we can tell the approach of the weather, good or bad by looking at the sky and the wind; so also
we can see our nations future by seeing the direction it is going in,
If we see the earth and deny its Glory as a Creation of God as it clearly shows us,
then He will blind us, yes He will Blind us to the Truth, because we would rather take pleasure in unrighteousness...
And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring O ye hypocrites,
ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? Matt.16:3.
This is my Interpretation of the Vision
The judgement of America
Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city!
The great whore that sits on many waters. With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth
have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.
And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her;
for no man buys their merchandise any more. Rev.17-18
So what are we supposed to do about it or because of it?
REPENT!
Repent means to Turn Towards God
The Kingdom of God is at hand! Repent and be Baptized!
Everyone born, it does not matter who you are, rich or poor, abused, neglected, polluted as a child, or spoiled having everything. This is about everything we see with our eyes and our deepest thoughts; about the one who made everything, and is responsible for it. This is for those who want to be free, loosed from doubt, hate, and fear, and most of all, bitterness, lust, and pride.
The MOST Important thing to Remember,,, is that we are Saved by Grace, which is Unmerited Favor.
Then we add to our Faith, Virtue (pureness), and to Virtue Knowledge (of God), 2Peter 1:5
There are so many Chapters in Scripture
which clearly show that it is America. The Mystery City is judged
for causing the WHOLE WORLD to have sex with her
There are so many layers of scripture involved in this,
and some of it is so personal to God
What is the "trigger" for the Rapture? Is there such a thing? Yes!
What act, exactly, specifically causes the Rapture?
America is betrayed because of her pride, she's tricked into invading Israel, Jer.50:24
because of her might.
Many people say even today that if there were a God, how could He allow all of the horrible things which happen on earth.
He does not, (be not deceived, Gal.6:7) when we consider His judgments are for eternity for the good or evil we do in this very short life. Rom8:18
I realize the following scriptures may seem somewhat hard to follow, but they are not really at all.
Have no fear to those who do not take pleasure in the things which God despises Rev2:15.
Yes it is true that God makes judgment and makes war Rev.19:11
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men. Rom1:18
He usually only destroys those who defile His throne, invade His land or kill His people, but He is by far the most severe on His own people.
He has His commandments which all of mankind are fully aware of,
whether having seen and learned of them, or by the law of God written in our hearts. Rom. 2:12, 1:20
The Rapture of the Body of Christ
Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes. Matt.24:44
Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come, except there be a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2Thes.2:3
Because you have kept the word of My patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Rev3:10
For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only He who now lets (restrains) will let, until He be taken out of the way. 2Th 2:7
And then shall that Wicked (one) be revealed 2Th 2:8
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with excess wine, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. Luke 21:34
Every man that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as He is pure. 1Jon.3:3
You can discern the face of the sky; but can you not discern the signs of the times? Matt.16:12
I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon His head, and His face was as it were the sun, and His feet as pillars of fire: Rev.10
And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men, Jer. 51:57 (…the wicked are said to be drunken, since they rush upon their own destruction. Is.29:9)
I believe this word "taken" actually is the Bride , the Rapture.
(The Holy Spirit (I am the Light of the world) is lifted off the earth in the rapture,
the one who restrains darkness)
-taken= These next two small paragraphs are the Blue Letter Bibles,
Strongs definition etc.of this simple little word,
that frankly seems to be a goldmine of depth and meaning,
and THANK GOD FOR IT!
We are all descendants of Adam and Eve. Scripture, the Word of God is a Treasure Book of Truth given to us, it is the book of Light and Life. It was not only written by our Father for us, it is so pure it also represents His Son.
This Father of ours is the one to impress, He is the One who Truly Loves Us the most. He is the One who desires our companionship. Through Jesus and at great sacrifice, they have made it possible for us to talk with Him once again. Because the Father sent us a mobile device, His Holy Spirit, through whom we may communicate with Him just as Jesus did. We are now engaged in an epic battle, the same war mankind has fought since the garden.
The Father desires to TALK with us, to DELIVER us, and He has endured Much to do so. We must be Sanctified to be as close to the Father as possible in Jesus. He tells us to not touch what is unclean, to mortified our members. As in the past there will be a widening separation of the two camps, between Gods camp and the enemy. The enemy is a deceiver and little by little he has been doing just that. So now we as a nation are committing the same atrocities as those in ancient days, whom the Lord destroyed; but this time it will be different. This time is the only time in the entire history of the world that He will deliver His people away in an instant,at the sound of the Trumpet,His supernatural Bride; though this happens After she has been purified, of the scum that clings to her, like Plaque! Daniel 11:35
INVITATION
The "Great" Invitation! Come unto me all of you that are heavy ladened and I shall give you rest. Matt.11:28 For My Yoke is easy, and My burden is light!
PRAY NOW!
"Father forgive me for everything I have done that is wrong and come into my heart.
Thank you Lord Jesus!
Now what? (Read the Bible)
Get baptized! Where? In water! In the name of "The Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Amen.
Now what? (Read the Bible)
Get EXCITED!
and,,,
Get ready for the Joy, and Fight of your LIFE people !!!
Follow the Trail, that Truth trail!
We are now going to talk in riddles for a while! Why do I say riddles? Because it may seem we are talking in circles, but we are not. Why? Because of many reasons. First and last is because we aren't really going any where, we are already there! Yes we are there right now! Feel the JOY?? Are you HAPPY RIGHT NOW? You should be! That Joy you feel or will feel is the proof you are ON THAT TRAIL ALREADY!
In Bible words, it is the fruit, the reward of your FAITH= your HOPE, your DESIRE to believe GOD, to believe in God. Your heart felt desire to believe the Truth.
Be Happy, just feel that Jesus loving Joy of the Truth!
and,,,
Read the Bible!
The First Four books of the New Testament
1 John,1 Peter, Ephesians, Colossians,,, all of it !
ABOVE ALL, understand what Baptism is, and how important it is to learn to walk in the new nature the "Divine Nature"
It is what all Christian churches should be teaching, walking in Love, in the Spirit of Gentleness.
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen" Heb.11
We are not alone.
"Jer 17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be."
We must be "born again"; with our mouth and heart to God, asking for Him to help us
enter into that "Heavenly Nature" NOW, one step at a time. 2Pet.1:4
We do this by obeying Him, and desiring to "enter in". By "washing in the Word".Eph.5:26 By control of what we say, think and hope for. We must desire to obey with more than our mouth only, if we run lawfully, we are rewarded, in the way that is "according to the fruit of" what we have done.
At first this formation was moving much slower, the second half shows the more correct speed
Entering into His rest
This is an article declaring Gods will for those who follow Him, it is also in response to YT videos in which the speakers insist that God only speaks to us in the Bible and not by talking to us directly through the Holy Spirit; which it was specifically sent to do, John16:13. As it turns out, assembling the scriptures greatly helped me to complete the paper about Gods desire for our lives. It is also for all those people and churches who say that miracles were only a temporary thing used to firmly establish the new Christian writings and early churches. These scriptures of course are not all there are, if you have more please share with me.
Another important study should be a collection of verses which reveal the importance of those who are lame or have birth defects or very severe injuries; also those who may appear the “least valuable” or important to us or society, which includes those lost in sin or even perhaps in rebellion to the Truth.
I am posting this paper here because I was amazed at how strongly God desires, even demands that we His followers fully become a new creature through rebirth in His son, “so the world may believe the Father sent Him”.John17:21 How do we, or can we overcome sin? Only in Him, He cleanses us 1John1:9, if we strive to enter into His rest Luke13:24, and do not give up Heb.6:19, Jam1:4. Why does He want to do this, the seemingly impossible? For us, those who choose good, and do not want to destroy, steal or kill the innocent; and to glorify Himself, in His son.
I think it possible that Adam, a created man in the flesh could never have chosen to obey God. 1Cor.15:50. Did God cheat in putting Adam in such a fix of decision? No not really. Adam was a very intelligent man, not stupid. He was in the garden, he named all the animals, and if I may ad was probably standing right next to Eve as she listened to the snake. (What else did he have to do, work on his car?)
God judged him for obeying his wife and not his Creator, Gen.2:17 which is idolatry, the first commandment, he chose poorly. The flesh is capable of no good thing! Rom.7:18 “God created man in His own image” with free choice, and we all still have the same choice to make and we bear our own burden. Deut.30:19, Gal.6:5
God created angels, celestial beings (some fell), 1Cor.15:40 and man, a little below the angels Heb.2:7, ministering spirits, to serve man? It seems among other things possibly the devil did not like that. 2Thes.2:4, Ez.28:14.
Man was made as a Bride for His son; that and to destroy the works of the devil, who wars against Gods throne, the mystery of lawlessness. 2Thes.2:7 That is the war we are in and the battle we fight, for our lives and souls, and as parents we also choose for our children 1Cor.7:14.
To them thatareSanctified in Christ Jesus, I thank God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; That in every thing you are enriched by Him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; So that you come behind In No Gift;,, Waiting,, for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 1Cor.1:7
Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1Cor.3:16 For we are laborers together with God: you are God's husbandry, you are God's building! 1Cor.3:9, In whom all the building fitly framed together grows into a Holy Temple in the Lord: Eph. 2:21, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a Holy Priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 1Pet.2:5
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be

Eph.4:29 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Gal.5:22-23 ,,,let all your things (words & actions) be done in Love.1Cor.16:14
Endeavoring to keep the Unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.Eph.4:3 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, into a Perfect man, into the measure of the stature of the Fullness of Christ: Eph.4:13
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Act 2:21
If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.1Cor.3:15 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and Destitute of the Truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. But that doesn’t matter. Whether their motives are false or genuine, the message about Christ is being preached either way, so I rejoice. And I will continue to rejoice. Phil1:18
Be Kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another; Not slothful in business fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer.Rom.12:12
That in everything you are Enriched By Him, in All Utterance, and in All Knowledge; 1Cor.1:5

For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do Mortify (put to death) the deeds of the body, you shall live.Rom.8:13
Mortify=to subdue or deaden, dead in Christ, appointed to man once to die, is it possible that only those who have died to themselves in Jesus, and sanctified themselves are raptured?Matt.5:28,Rev.19:8
But you are to be Perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect. Mat.5:48 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is Perfect shall be as his Master. Luke 6:40
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in Him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has to us. God is love; and he that dwells in lovedwells in God, and God in him. Herein Is Our Love Made Perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: Because As He Is, So Are We In This World. 1jon.4:17
Do not touch what is unclean; and I WILL RECEIVE YOU . 2Cor.6:18
Verily I say to you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matt.18:3 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 1pet.4:17
Because you have kept the word of My patience (to persevere, or even, endure to the end), I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Rev3:10
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as He said, As I have sworn in My wrath, if they shall enter into My rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. Heb.4:3 And in this place again, If they shall enter into My rest.:5 For he that is entered into His rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from His. Heb.4:10
I in you, That they all may be one; as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that You have sent Me. John 17:21 And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as He is pure. 1jon.3:3
That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, Eph.5:26 That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.Eph.5:27
Sanctify them through Thy Truth: Thy Word is Truth. Jn.17:17 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be Preserved Blameless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Thes.5:23
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Heb.4:12 "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded."James4:8.
Let not mercy and Truth forsake you: bind them about your neck; write them on the table of your heart...prov.3:3 Neither yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin: but yield yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

FRUIT, You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My name, He May give it to you.

Zeph.3:17 Knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance. Rom.2:4
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil; Heb 6:19
You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you to Myself. Ex.19:4 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Is.40:31

Why do I post this? Because I, we need to honor the least, the weak, we desperately need the man who is crippled from birth. He is me, he is us, imprisoned in the body ravaged by the works of the devil, which Jesus came to destroy. Jesus died a horrible death, which He despised, hated, He was beaten extremely severely Is.52:14 and crucified naked, for what? For this man, for us, to be able to heal this man,,, through us; thereby glorifying His Son, His Word (the Bible) in us, in Him, All in Onein the Father!
Who is the greatest in the kingdom of God? The least here on earth, as spoken of John the Baptist, Matt.11:11. God is a riddle, He is love, and He hides Himself, but He manifests Himself to those who love Him, in all the fullness of the God-head. He now sits where, watching us, on the right hand of what, the Power of God Luke22:69. He has given this to us, so much is required Luke12:48. All of us are different, some of us just really hate it here, in a world where there is so much pain and suffering. Some of us have been forced to stay here, unwillingly, and to fight this ugly war against the powers of darkness who war against the kingdom of heaven.
War is ugly, this is the real war not fought with lousy guns against stupid people, but against a murderer and the father of lies who only steals, kills, and destroys,Matt.10:10 the innocent. Jesus is our armor and weapon given from God, for us He is Gods "battle axe", and He goes before us, and in Him we can never die, at least in the one that matters most, the second death of judgment.
P.S. Whether we like it or not, or want to do this or not, all this war is still happening, so for the sake of yourself and our wives and children, just look at creation and, desire to believe, and prepare now Ps.145:16. Yes He will change your desires, that is a good desire, so He will! ALSO, "I am with you always" Matt.28:20 ...for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon His name. “They will be My people,” says the LORD of hosts (Heaven’s Armies). “On the day when I act in judgment, they will be My own special treasure. I will spare them as a father spares an obedient child. Mal.3:17
Think about this, so what if you are willing to be punished for the sin or two you may have committed by not accepting the Truth, salvation in Christ, (which is far worse) you will still be punished right along with all enemies of the truth. Sure, perhaps not as severely as most or even some, But that name, that name is the only way.
Please tell me why you don't like it, because of this or that, I have heard a lot of excuses. Yet the only real reason other than lust, is pride, the name just makes your skin crawl, you'd rather die. You have answered the only logical answer there is, but not a smart one. We ALL DIE, in one way or the other.
Well
Scriptures are the means of obtaining the salvation of God to everyone that believes Rom.1:16; the word believe, means to rely on; faith means to place hope in Heb.11:1; looking at the wonders of all creation all mankind is convicted for not giving God the credit for it Rom.1:20; scriptures also say that the children of this world are wiser than the children of light Luke16:8, and God can not lie.Titus 1:2
Do you think it is a wise thing to fight God if you cannot win? Is it also wise to want to burn in hell, for eternity, and willingly choose to go there when you do not have to? That would be stupid.
Well
It also says that if we confess our sins He will forgive us, and HE will cleanse us from all unrighteousness, 1John1:9. He also says that He will give us the desire of our heart Ps.145:16 , put together that says that HE has to do most, if not all of the really hard stuff! If we ask to believe He must grant that petition 1John5:15. Also it's written that of ourselves we can do nothing John5:30, and that nobody can do good Ps.14:3, our very flesh is at war with God Gal.5:17 because of what Adam did, not you or me, the very first guy!
So where does all of that leave us? Definitely clear of being able to blame God for anything as Adam tried to do, Gen.3:12. but I don't mean that I totally understand the above wise verse either. Also, as difficult as it may be to understand our lives sometimes, we do know that God has been directly involved in them from the very beginning.
"And has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us:" Acts17:27
As we look around the world as it is these days Matt.16:3, and if we look closely with understanding Prov.4:7, we can see what is really happening, that same war between good and evil. For America it is justice VS corruption, and our extreme wealth has it's responsibilities and morally it is even worse, as the top of this pages reveals.
For those who want to have everything their own way, under the circumstances I'm sorry to say that you can, it is your choice to make. But here and now, in the extreme comfort our country currently affords us, I would highly recommend that we realize the Truth.
Jesus, yes that embarrassing guy who walked on water and raised the dead, who let them spit in His face, beat Him to a pulp and pull His beard off by the handfuls, and then allowed Himself to be crucified hanging by nails in His hands for six agonizing hours as they mocked Him, for your sins.
That same little harmless Lamb is going to come back, first to get His friends, and then as the Lion of Judah, the Battle Axe of God, Jer.51:20. Nothing is going to be worth being on His wrong side then, not money, a car, a great house or all the sex, booze or drugs in the world, will mean a thing.
So you decide whether seventy piddly little years is worth sacrificing an eternity for because His name embarrasses us. Your choice, at your ease, equal with Him and the Kingdom of God He will give you for eternity, on a platter with onions? What is foolishness?
That is why I am a fool, for Christ. 1Cor.1:21
These are Links to the Prophetic Scriptures dealing with
The Rapture -AND- The Day of The Lord
I will be uploading Daniel soon,,, and I Am very close..
...to losing my mind,, (Just kidding)
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, and be Renewed in the Spirit of your mind;
That you put on the New man, which after God is Created in Righteousness and True Holiness. Eph.4
Always in my heart I knew that if I were to see Jesus I would instantly look down, my continence fallen, why? 1Jon.2:28
I realized that what I was receiving from smoking was,,, comfort, yes but we know the Holy Ghost is our True Comforter. 2Cor.1:3
I realized I was receiving a temporary physical and therefore fake comfort, a drug to the flesh to help it relax. The Truth (which is the Lord God Jesus Christ Almighty) set me free immediately. Rom.6:7
Do I hate smoking? No. But I hate HAVING to smoke. People are going to get some kind of comfort from something, it a least gives people something to do.
I now can hold up hands that are not spotted or blemished,Eph.5:27 sin which Jesus gave His life to free me from THE POWER OF! Hallelujah!
Pure Holiness in Christ Jesus, and we will do it TOGETHER, which IS Gods' will Eph.4:16
How do I know the Lord wants all of US to become a perfectly joined and fit together Body of Christ so fervently now, and that it is Him and not just me talking?
Because of His Word, the past and all of the things He has done in my life and all He has given me. John 3:27
I believe that the Holy Spirit will be manifesting itself even more strongly still in every individual member of the Body of Christ.
To bring in more of the fullness of His Bride, in a quickening of their spirit abiding in Him therefore glorifying His Son in us. By the joining of His Bride together in one mind, each piece will become more confident established in good works in the knowledge of Him.
We have all seen and felt the changes in the very air around us. This is evidence of God working His will in these the very few last remaining moments of our time. Col.1. The world (meaning all those who do not desire to obey God) believes they are just modernizing society, improving it, getting rid of the old superstitious past. But the Day of the Lord is coming, and the mystery of Jesus Christ will be revealed, because:
All the devil wants is to sit on the throne of God in Jerusalem. America will link up with ten nations to invade, though we know it is a failed attempt, who is it that fights for Israel? Revelation 14. How about that!
Pretty scary stuff isn't it! Are you excited! Who is God talking about, is it us? "here is the patience of the saints" 14:12. Yes. This sounds like during the 7-year tribulation.
The 144,000 with Christ are the first fruits in the Rapture, and Babylon has already been destroyed by them! (For His judgments are True and Just; for He has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on her the Blood of His Servants.”). Rev.19:2
But is all of that what we will be talking about? No!
All we care about is,,, Getting ready for JESUS !
Yes entering into the fullness of the power of His resurrection (+). Walking in the Divine nature. 2Pet.1:4
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Gal.5:22-25 (and if anyone says we are saved by grace, yes of course I agree, never the less please see Heb.6:1)
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers. Eph.4:29
Somehow, I don't really know how to fully do this. Live in, abide in Him 1Jo 2:28, a divine state "his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness", "be partakers of the divine nature" 2Pet.1, of love and gentleness. Even though I have been a witnessing Jesus sheep a very long time it has been more of confessing His name and being instant (to witness) even when inconvenient (to me) and not being a violent man, extremely slow to anger and controlling every word out of my mouth, and bringing every thought into captivity 2Cor.10:5; which we do by putting on Jesus mind "let this mind be in you" Phil.2 and keeping our minds eye "on the goal set before us" Heb.12:1, our thoughts on Him and not on worldly things "double minded" James1, scripture, striving to be in constant prayer by praying for those who God brings into our thoughts, etc.
Perhaps it is this,,, "That He might present it to Himself a Glorious Church (Bride), not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be Holy and without Blemish."
WRINKLE= "a slight line or fold"
WARNING
THIS IS A FUTURE PROPHECY, NOT TODAY!
NOT EVEN TOMORROW, BUT IN THE FUTURE
AND IT WILL COME AS A SURPISE TO MOST EVERYONE!!
As God has said,
“YOUR MOTHER SHALL BE SORE CONFOUNDED;
THE HINDERMOST OF THE NATIONS
SHALL BE A DRY LAND, AND A DESERT”
,,,SHE HAS GIVEN HER HAND” Jer.50:12
