* WATCHMAN WARNING: WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON - THE FINAL STEPS

  

There will be fearful events, Jesus said of our time.  People will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea, he said.
 
All that just happened.  No one on the west coast of Florida, the Gulf Coast side, ever expected the storm Helene to have serious impact on them.  It was over a hundred miles away and supposedly heading north to come ashore in the panhandle area of Florida.  Then suddenly there was the many feet of storm surge and terrible destruction of cities and houses on that west coast.
 
Far away, five hundred miles north, in the mountains of NC people were living in Asheville and Boone and smaller towns like Chimney Rock and many more.  Five hundred miles!  Hurricanes were for the coast surely.  But not so this time.  Helene arrived at an area already saturated with many inches of rain.  And it just poured more on.  Then a flood ensued unlike anything anyone living had ever seen.  Massive destruction and loss of life.  We still don’t know the full extent.  The rescuers haven’t gotten everywhere to check it all out yet.  Too many trees down, not like we are used to seeing – a tree here or there.  No, this is piles of trees all together that take long, long periods to remove.  Buildings and cars wrecked and piled up.  Hundreds of roads damaged and cut off.  Bridges out.   And hundreds of people still missing.
 
The flood is of Biblical proportions some say.
 
Some try to compare it to the great flood there in 1916 but of course no one was around then.
 
And at the same time this is happening Iran sends many missiles into Israel, and the Middle East is turbulent indeed.  And the Ukraine war just continues.  Nation against nation.  Wars and rumors of wars.
 
Final signs.  These are part of the final signs.  Jesus outlined events of the last days.  Those days are here.
 
We are at the time of the Lord’s return.  Most people just do not know.  Serious believers know if they are paying attention.  Not anyone else. 
 
So we wait to hear his command, the angel’s shout, and the trumpet.  And we will be off, leaving behind huge numbers of people who do not know Jesus, including no doubt a significant number who thought they were Christians but were not born again, not born of water and the spirit as Jesus said was a requirement.  They had been let down by their church or by their own thinking.  They did not do the will of Jesus’ father.  They did not have the same innocent faith as little children.  And evidently they just did not truly believe.  So many in their churches and in some places their pastors themselves will be left behind.
 
Time.  It’s time.  You can continue to try to wake people up, to tell people the truth.  Lots just don’t want to be bothered.  They don’t want to hear.  Lots already have been caught in the deception of the evil one and even have fallen into delusion.  Some have just never paid attention or apparently even been able to hear the truth of God.  Many others get angry and protest in cities and universities for anti-god causes although they can’t understand they are on the wrong side,  They line up in support of vicious and blind opponents of the Jews and they support the LGBTQ movement in all its ramifications.  They are spiritually lost and will live in the Tribulation.
 
We believers all have to keep in mind that only God the Father can draw anyone to Jesus.  We can’t.  We can speak to others about Jesus and the gospel and the return.  We can pray for God the Father to draw these people to Jesus.  But then we have to let God be God.
 
Soon.  Soon the Lord will be here.  And we believers will be gone.  Comfort yourselves also with realization that some come to know the Lord during the horrible Tribulation period.  In Revelation John the disciple sees countless Tribulation saints in Heaven.
 
I don’t know how many more storms like Helene will occur or how extensive the wars will become or how many other natural or human disasters will occur before Jesus arrives.  Hopefully none.  One thing is for certain.  He will be here soon.
 
Another thing is certain too:
 
Some things are now happening on earth we have little or no control over.  Not all, just some.  I think we still apply the power of prayer in all situations and use the authority Jesus has given us at all times.  But just realize there may be moments that possibly we can’t change.  Jesus is coming indeed at the appointed time.  That time is set.  And it is soon.

* WATCHMAN WARNING: EVIL - WHAT BELIEVERS KNOW AND UNBELIEVERS DO NOT

  

Evil is real.  Evil is a person.  It is the devil, Satan, Lucifer, the evil one, whatever you want to call him, and all his minions.  One third of the angels followed the devil.
 
God is real too, and Jesus Christ.
 
Right now in time, this devil is the ruler of the earth.  The whole world is under the control of the evil one.  John the disciple said that in 1 John 5:19.
 
The god of this age (the devil) has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.  Paul said that in 2 Corinthians 4:4.
 
He is the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.  Paul said that too, in Ephesians 2:2.
 
Lots of Christians and denominations miss these very important points.  Yes of course Jesus defeated the devil in going to and through the cross and yes believers in Jesus indeed are in the Kingdom of God already and have great protections against this evil one and his dark kingdom if they use what God has provided them.  And yes Jesus is coming soon to gather his sheep and shortly thereafter to win the battle against evil at Armageddon and lock this devil in a deep pit.
 
All these people on earth who do not know the Lord, who are not in the Kingdom of God, are ready prey for the devil and his many evil spirits, his demons.  His lies, his deception work readily in people who cannot discern the truth.  All these many people do not know about putting on the armor of God.  They do not know about the authority the believer has to cast out demons.  They do not have the protection that God has sent to his believers in the form of angels he sends to serve all those who will inherit salvation.  They don’t know any of that.
 
They are easily led astray.  Look every day at the terrible acts of evil you read about or hear about, depraved acts of individuals and groups, horrible crimes, terrible actions like those of the shooter in Uvalde Texas.  Look at the behavior of some people near you, maybe even family members who do not know Jesus.  Their behavior may not be as horribly violent as that of this shooter or the criminals committing all the atrocities on the streets of some big cities today, but they are still lost and have no protection against this evil one whenever he chooses to lead them astray.
 
All this talk about mental illness and guns and homes without fathers and drugs and so on…all serious subjects to be sure, but all side issues.  The real issue is that the devil and his minions are running amuck now in the world in these last of the last days.  And those without Jesus are lost and ready prey.  Leaders of the nation without Jesus have no idea of what is really happening.  Neither do media or entertainers or business executives or university presidents without Jesus. 
 
That is the world you live in now.  It is not a pleasant peaceful place.  But this is the truth.  To the extent possible this evil one surely will attempt to attack believers in the Lord, especially whenever they let their guard down or stray from the faith in any way.  And he will most assuredly attack through others close to the believers, through unbelieving friends and family.  Or maybe through other factors, like finances or business or whatever.
 
It all comes back to that basic truth of Keeping Your Eyes on Jesus, of staying in the faith, of using the tools God has provided.  Watch that you are not deceived, and use that wonderful gift of the Spirit, discernment.  And always remember, Jesus is not going to lose you.

* SIGN OF THE TIMES: ALL THESE TROUBLING PROPHECIES AND PRAYING FOR THE NATION - HOW DOES ALL THIS WORK?

What a wonderful sight, all those believers praying on the national mall at all those famous buildings and monuments.

What a thrill to see; as one young woman said, how wonderful to be surrounded by other serious believers. 

Yes, there really are a significant number of people who know Jesus and are known by him, people who are born again and filled with the Spirit. 

It was good for them to pray for our nation.  It was good to pray in line with 2 Chronicles 7:14 and other wonderful verses in the Bible.

And yes we know God hears and God answers prayer.  In his way.  At his time.  As it lines up with his will.  As Jesus says, prayed in his “name.”

Surely you and I know there is nothing the Lord cannot do.  No situation he cannot handle. 

But also you and I know these truths:

  • We are living in the very last days and hours before the return of the Lord himself to collect his believers, followed by the Tribulation and more.
  • The number of believers percentage wise is not great. Jesus himself taught it is a few.
  • In these last days and hours as we approach his return and all the events that follow, we know from scripture and many prophecies many things that are to come and are already happening.
  • We know that these things that happen in the last days are not pleasant, are frightening, are dangerous. All those prophecies from Jesus and others about deception, delusion, false prophets, falling away from God, rise in lawlessness, roaring and tossing of the seas, pestilence, and more.  So we are not surprised to see these things increasing

This is a true and honest puzzle for believers:  just how can the earlier comments of praying for God to heal the land and all the very real and now being fulfilled prophecies of troubling end times events all mesh together?   

These prophecies indeed are true.  They will and do happen.  They are happening right now.  That and the continual assault of the devil and his demonic forces is why the world is in such confusion.  Perhaps we can hope and believe that God will bring peace to the land such that we are not so terribly troubled by events when he arrives.  Or maybe somehow that we believers will increase in our ability to live in peace and joy even though the terrible prophesied events happen all around.  God alone knows how this will all come to pass in detail.  We don’t know the details, just the big points we’ve been told.

Most people today including many believers just have not yet come to grips with the fact that Jesus really is coming very soon, that we are privileged to be living in the very last days of this age.  But it is true. 

May God bless and protect his believers, all he would have in his Kingdom – even those who still do not know the Lord.  May we do all in our power to help him in his leading those of his elect who do not yet know him to come to that knowledge.

* URGENT WATCHMAN WARNING! - MOVING TO THE ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT


No, the Antichrist has not been revealed yet, nor the False Prophet.  And the Tribulation most assuredly has not begun.

That said, we are clearly in the very last days before the Lord’s return.  Whether those last days are literally just days or a very few years we surely don’t know.

But the events of our recent weeks have brought the world much closer to being ready for the one-world government of the end times.  Throughout the planet governments have taken steps to cajole, encourage, and really force people to stay largely isolated in their homes or at least really separated from others.

In the USA we are all following those shelter in place rules, with so-called essential services still operating with ever more detailed rules (such as grocery stores having one-way isles, cashiers separated by Plexiglas, numbers in store at any time very limited, and so on.).  People either are trying to make delivery orders for groceries, or pickup orders, or go at the least crowded times.
In many other countries though this is all much more difficult and problematic.  Consider the third world nations, such as much of Africa.  Or consider more modern nations with a lot of developing/third-world characteristics, such as India or Pakistan.  Large numbers of people, huge numbers of children, no real social network to provide food for large numbers, and no real way for people told to shelter in place to get food!

It is a Franz Kafka or Orwellian novel in practice.  In Kenya people must stay at home.  We understand that the man of the family may go out for two hours a day to get food.  But if he is one of the average people or lower income people, how does he get it?  He can’t go out to work in some basic labor way, or to trade things he might have, maybe to sell a few crops he might have.  How are the children to eat?  I see that there was just a riot in Nairobi over food in the slum areas there.  Take this thought to the world’s second largest nation which has a huge young people population, India.  And just consider all the others like the highly populous Pakistan.

It is one thing to tell Americans to shelter in place.   It is another to tell people in many of the world’s nations to do that.  It is almost a sentence to starvation for some.

And in all this there is the obvious question of why this is indeed happening in the first place.  In most of Africa and many other nations of the world, there up to now is little coronavirus.  It might be better to come up with some in-between policies for now rather than force the people into starvation mode.  We are all still learning what this mysterious disease is.

It should be apparent to any observer that human rights are being willingly given up by the people in America and throughout the world.  The economy of the world has largely been shut way down.  The planet has stopped all the hubbub.  I saw that the actual normal wobble or vibration of the earth has slowed by this lack of activity.

In the USA the population has willingly given up jobs and work, has given up rights to assembly, apparently by recent actions of some local police even the right to petition.  People are told not to travel, not to visit others.  They are told what they can buy in stores and what they cannot.  They are allowed to walk around their local neighborhoods, at least for now, but in many places parks have been closed and even beaches of all things!  In other words, places are shut down that allow people to get together.

If you were planning a way to have far greater control over people, what better way than to isolate them and separate them from one another.  While some of these restrictions may be necessary, I hope you are well aware that what we are witnessing is a trashing of the Bill of Rights and of individual freedoms that our ancestors fought so hard to preserve.

So we move steadily on.  I don’t know exactly what the next weeks and months will bring regarding this coronavirus disease, but I expect it will be highly unlikely to see societies – including the USA – return back to the full “normal” we had before.  No doubt handshakes and hugs are a thing of the past.

There are out now all sorts of proposals, including a frightening one to develop some type of identification program so anyone who has survived the virus or maybe tested clean would have a card that permits them to move more freely than those who do not have the card.  Sound familiar?  Remember the mark in Revelation, a mark a person must have to buy or sell?

And there is talk of having a vaccine that everyone has to take.  Really?  Yes, really.

Timewise, the Tribulation will not begin until there is an agreement of some type signed or confirmed with the Jews, with Israel.  That agreement must be of a type that Israel believes brings real peace, for they then turn to living in unwalled villages (e.g., they don’t feel threatened).  This signing or confirming as described in Daniel 9:27 has not yet taken place.  When it does the seven year Tribulation begins immediately.  The Antichrist sometime after that eventually moves into Jerusalem and at the midpoint of the Tribulation takes up residence in the Temple there.  And thus begins the Great Tribulation, the worst time of wrath being poured out on earth.  There are several scriptures that make the point that believers are not appointed to suffer wrath, so I certainly expect us to be gone with Jesus before this Great Tribulation.  In fact, I expect us to be gone anytime from now up to the start of this Great Tribulation.

By the way, the individual who is responsible for the signing of that agreement in Daniel 9:27 is the Antichrist.  So if you are here and are paying attention, you will know the Antichrist at that moment.

The Antichrist and his key assistant the False Prophet work steadily for more and more control on earth as they move to the one-world government.  It is pretty apparent we are seeing steps in that direction now, despite the good intentions of many.  While we all should recognize the health challenges people face today, we still must all do all we can to see that individual liberties are preserved and restored in the coming months.  Sadly we have now already seen just how easy it is for those to be quickly taken away.

The book is here and the time of the Lord’s imminent return is here.  This is one way you can help God lead people to Christ.  You should not in any way care what other people think of you at this time.  Who cares if they ridicule you when you give them a book, or ask if you believe it?  The only person’s opinion you should care about is that of the Lord.

* SIGN OF THE TIMES: REMEMBER


This is an extraordinary, unusual, and for most of us unprecedented time we are living in right now.  Keep your eyes on Jesus, the one who counts, and remember these great truths:

FEAR – Fear is not from God.  You know where that comes from, from the evil side of the spiritual realm, from that individual who has been a liar from the beginning.

PANIC – That is just an escalation of fear having its way.  Fear and panic in our society right now are evident not just in the general population but especially among some of these talking head leaders that are on television way too often and often just spread uncertainty and more confusion.  Some seem to almost relish giving out wildly out of line projections of how many will be sick when no evidence so far supports that.

HEALING AND HEALTH AND PROTECTION – All those scriptures in the Bible pertaining to divine healing and to God’s protection that I am always writing about and ministering in are just as true now as they always were.  And they apply to coronavirus just as they apply to anything else.

NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR GOD – Still true.  God made that point himself.

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD – A point made by Jesus and by Gabriel.

BELIEVERS CAN DO THE SAME THINGS JESUS DID – Jesus made that point.

SOME PERHAPS HELPFUL COMMENTS - I know it is troubling and confusing and perhaps angering to listen to all the politicians and all the media talk about this virus and plan all sorts of things.  We see even in this time of national concern the evidence still of individual political priorities coming in, people criticizing and hoping to make political points, and some media and some bureaucrats seemingly easily excitable and wanting to grandstand and project all sorts of things that are just not helpful.  All this is troubling and we must admit that in recent years these people have lost a lot of credibility with the public at large.  Still, we have to realize people are just people.  They are not God, although those who truly know the Lord can operate as he wishes and with the authority the Lord has given each believer.  Believers have the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  Many of those on television you see all the time today focusing on this issue may not know the Lord and they are operating in their humanness.  And people make mistakes.  We all do.

ONE ADDITIONAL PIECE OF ADVICE - We all need to be alert to the actions being taken by the government here and abroad.  Do these actions make sense?  Are they justified?  Only time will tell.  But as this plays out, we need to see that these temporary measures really are temporary and disappear as soon as the disease is basically over.  We don’t need all those big government types, the one-world types, to put in place more harmful controls at a time of real serious concern on the part of the populace when most people are not thinking beyond the disease and how to be safe.

LAST DAYS – And one last area of comment.  Yes, it is true that pestilence is one of the signs of these last days before the Lord returns.  Well, you already knew we were living at the time of his soon return, so no need to be surprised by that.  There are all sorts of strange happenings around the world now, as we have written about in newsletters and other publications for a long time.
In all things at all times keep your eyes on Jesus.  Use the great spiritual gift of discernment that comes with the Holy Spirit to discern the truth in all situations.  Be guided by the Spirit as you go forward.  And live in that great peace and joy that comes with knowing the Lord.  Remember, he overcame the world and in him we do too.  Remember, in him you cast out demons.   And remember above all, that if you are a believer, the Lord is never going to lose you.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. – John 14:27

* SIGN OF THE TIMES: QUICK POINTS YOU CAN USE


Quick bold points taken from the world around that make the case of where we are in time.  There are lots of things we have said and could say about the imminent return of Jesus, but you might use these points below taken right out of the daily news to get the attention of some who have so far been asleep or are not alert to what is happening.
Just from this list alone it is very apparent something very big is about to happen.
  • Reported from Israel: top rabbis are afraid to leave the country because they do not want to miss the coming of the Messiah (Israel Today).
  • One very top Israeli rabbi has pointedly just said the Messiah is coming soon and that he has been in communication with the Messiah (Breaking Israeli News; Israel Today).
  • In Brazil a gigantic Christian meeting referred to as the Send Conference was recently held in three stadiums – 140,000 attending in all. Note the name:     Tens of thousands there adopted various mission fields.  I’ve heard the number was 70,000.  Sending forth of believers to the world.  Think that might be part of the last days effort of God to get the people into his Kingdom that have not yet come to Jesus, those elect who haven’t yet realized who they are? (Fox News)
  • Billions of locusts have been ravaging East Africa. Now there are similar reports of locusts moving into Yemen, Pakistan, Iran, India, and even China.  (CBN)
  • Coronavirus – a potential pestilence and all that entails, and other disasters like multiple earthquakes are the stuff of our daily world news. You may not see the reports of the earthquakes, but they are always indeed happening.  There are daily many many small earthquakes in the world.  But in just the last month there have been several major ones, like the one Sunday in Turkey and Iran, the one earlier in the month in Japan, the one between Cuba and Jamaica that even provoked evacuations in Miami, one in the Solomon Islands, and another in Turkey.   All of this is in line with prophecies of the last days. 
  • The serious effort to get a real peace plan signed between Israel and the Palestinians continues. Obviously this has not yet happened, but the “deal of the century” recently put forward by the US government and surprisingly favorably received by some Arab nations is a clear indication we are getting close.  Looking at Daniel 9:27 and Ezekiel 38-39, the plan the Israelites sign must evidently give them a sense of true peace since they move to living in unwalled villages - e.g., no protection.  (The signing of an agreement which accomplishes this will be the final straw, and the Tribulation will begin.)
And then we have this very disturbing and sad point:  According to a study by Lifeway, 98% of the churches in America do not talk about the return.  We’ve written a great deal about that haven’t we.  Somehow, for whatever reason, the churches are asleep.  Unless things change dramatically, we are going to have a lot of shocked people on earth.

SIGN OF THE TIMES: PLAIN TALK


We are living now in the time of massive delusions on the parts of whole groups of people including some famous and prominent ones in positions of great responsibility.  And that is so dangerous to the world and humanity at large.  It is also reflective of the time in which we live.  Scripture tells us that eventually God will send those who refuse to accept the truth (e.g., the truth of the gospel, the truth about Jesus) a delusion.  Is that what is happening?  Certainly that may be the case, although I hope some of the young obviously lost souls we see on the TV and at times in person espousing ridiculous untruths may just be confused because they have never truly heard the truth.  I hope God will indeed reach some of these through us or other means.

But there is no doubt some are indeed deluded and have no excuse.  The Pope for example, who in his actions is working towards a one world government and a one world religion.  His actions are public and there for all to see.  Surely he has read the Bible, has read the book of Revelation.  Surely.   Delusion.  The move to bring in all these lost religions, the move to bring about one-world education, his lost comments such as Christians should not be seeking to convert others – goodness, do you think he ever read the Great Commission?

There are leaders in the Catholic Church who recognize this and speak out.  I just read some words from a Cardinal who basically said what I just wrote above.  Will they be heard by those who consider themselves Catholics?

One great problem of our day as far as belief and faith and being lost and deluded goes is that the majority of those who call themselves by one denomination or another for the most part have never read and studied and meditated on God’s word, let alone sought and received the guidance of the Holy Spirit on what his words mean.  They just don’t know the Word.  They have let and continue to let preachers and priests and others tell them what to think.  And for many denominations that is a prescription for being eternally lost.  In many denominations and thus many brick building churches the hired or appointed preacher or priest never gets into the true great depths of the faith, never gets into the fact that the Holy Spirit is active right now and miracles and healings happen right now today, never gets into the imminent return of the Lord, never gets into all Jesus accomplished, never gets into the true great reality of prayer.  Why? Because many of them don’t know themselves?  Possibly.  Also because the hierarchy of their denomination is just so lost itself and thus provides poor guidance.

Look at the National Council of Churches and the many protestant churches that are members.  They continually speak out against Israel and take action against Israel.  Are they insane?  Well, deluded to be sure.

Look at the Methodist church that is in the process of splitting into two groups because of the great demand of many churches in that denomination to have gay (LGBTQ) preachers and to perform gay marriages.  Yet the Bible is clear on the subject of homosexual behavior.  In Leviticus and Romans and the last page of Revelation.   Clear.  Clear.  Clear.   Not an acceptable behavior.  Will keep a person out of the Kingdom.  Those Methodist churches pushing to approve the things noted above are just lost.  They are not churches of the Lord Jesus are they? No, but neither are so many other churches out there.  And thus the great risk for all those so called Christian believers who attend church on Sundays and let the pastors tell them what to think and spend no time on their own searching out God’s truths and seeking him in prayer.

By the way, the African branch of the Methodist church has been horrified for some time by this impending support of homosexual behavior in the Methodist church.  They will surely be not accepting that position.  Wait….didn’t these African churches result from America and the Methodist church and other churches sending Africa missionaries so long ago?  The pupil has now become the true teacher!  Africa, as well as South America, is sending missionaries to America, in case you do not know.  Australia also is doing that.  Why?  Because so many of the traditional American churches and the Sunday churchgoers in America are lost, lost, lost.

So the Pope is clearly deluded.  Is that true for other famous leaders?  Appears so – in Congress, in Hollywood, certainly in the media.

Let’s take a moment to talk about delusion and illusion.  We all are familiar with the less serious term illusion – that word just relates to a physical condition, something which confuses the senses.  Like the old optical illusion games we all have seen or played.  Like maybe seeing two parallel lines that appear to intersect because of the background, like seeing two doors that appear to be of different sizes but are not because of the way they are drawn.  Illusions are like that.  Magician entertainers live in the world of illusions, doing things that trick us but we know they are not real.

The word delusion is deadly serious.  It refers to what goes on inside a person.  It is mental in nature.  And therein the danger.  People deep in their minds and hearts believe things that are not true and obviously are not true to those who have the gift of discernment and are not confused.  Without some shaking deep in the soul of those people, change will not be forthcoming.  They will not respond to simple logical discussions and arguments.

In the last days God gives those who will not accept the truth a delusion.

Frightening.  Do not think these deluded people out there in positions of authority or in those random and bizarre street demonstrations are not dangerous.  They are.

These are the last days.  Things happen.

In the words of our Lord, Stay alert!  Watch! So that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen.  Pray for protection for yourself and your family and others.  Cast out evil spirits in Jesus’ name.  Seek the continual guidance of the Holy Spirit and apply that great gift of discernment to confusing situations.

One writer on this subject of the last days refers to those believers who know the truth and who seek to educate others as crazy uncles.  In other words, those around do not accept them for what they say.  They are considered crazy, but they are at least still tolerated.   He suggests those crazy uncles, which would be most of us I think who are reading this, just prepare material to be used by all those to be left behind so then hopefully they will read and see the truth and be able to protect themselves in the terrible seven year tribulation.  He apparently may have given up on our influencing others to believe and see now.  I am not yet at that point, but I do see how hard headed and lost the mass of the people are.

May God have mercy on us all.

*AN IMPORTANT FOLLOWUP TO OUR LATEST NEWSLETTER - YOU MUST READ THIS!


This is a really important document.  I ask you to read it through and to think and pray about it.  Our September newsletter touched just a bit on what you are about to read, but by no means the whole account.  This is important for all of you and your families.

Some of you have known me a long time.  Some of you I think know pretty clearly how I have been called by God and given certain assignments.  Some of you have seen the healings and miracles and heard various revelations regarding all Jesus is and who we are in him and his imminent return.  Some of you, probably most, know how dramatically God stepped into my life years ago and called me to this new life we have led for so long.

Over the years the Lord has spoken many things to me in various ways – direct words, Holy Spirit guidance, words spoken to others, dreams, visions, circumstances.  And he has done so many healings and miracles.  Among the words he has shared are many concerning his return and specific prophecies sometimes that I have considered just for me and for Cathy.  Then there are those that clearly I was to share with all and I have done that.  And the third category is those that perhaps should be shared but when …?   I needed guidance on that.

In this writing I am sharing some startling things, one from years ago and the others from just the past few days.  After you read this, and as you consider all written here, please pray about it all.  Seek God’s guidance for yourself on the matters covered. 

With that background here we go:

Last fall Cathy and I, after 20 years of living down on the shore really close to the beach, had a real sense, and understanding, that we needed to move.   So we began to write down the reasons why we should move.  When we got to number 8 we said, wow, and we realized it was time.  There were several good reasons.

We prayed about the move and about putting the house on the market to sell.  And the Holy Spirit guidance was clear.
 
Now pay special attention:

As we went through the process, our minds turned back to a prophecy, a word, the Lord gave me several years ago.  In fact it was in December of 2005.  I have only shared this with a few of those closest to us, but now I am sharing it with all.  These are the Lord’s words:

“This whole island will be covered with water.  The coastlands will be covered with water.  But I will move you and your family before then.  Put it all in my hands.”

We had thought about this over the years but the Lord had not moved us.  Now it was happening.  And it did.

We lived along the shore, very close to the ocean, and as we thought of moving off the island on which we lived, we thought we would move to the nearby large city which was a few miles from the shore.  But then those words from the Lord came back to mind and it was obvious we needed to move more inland.  So we did, to a wonderful place more than a hundred miles from the coast.

Now we are away – from a place we loved living but also from a place the Lord himself said would be covered by water, along with the coastlands.
 
While you are recovering from all this, I want to go quickly to another subject that relates directly.  A few days ago I had a dramatic dream/vision, clearly a message from God.  Maybe you have had such a thing, or maybe not.  In such a dream/vision, you feel you are really there, and the words and actions are real.

I will not summarize all, for it is a long account.  But you need to hear the main part.  Cathy and I were walking along the shore in a town just north of our beach town.  Another couple was with us.  As we walked and talked we looked at the water close beside us.  It was full of ships – of all sizes.  Full, like none of us have ever seen before.  They were sitting pointed this way and that.

As we walked I suddenly said: Look at the tugboats!

There were three tugboats sitting together.  Suddenly as we looked, one sank – instantly, quickly. 

And we continued walking.  As we went, from time to time, a ship would sink.  As we neared our town a large ship sank!  The largest so far. 

We rounded a building and the man walking with me said, “You boat is still out there.  It’s riding the waves.”

I turned and faced him.  And in one of those stark moments in such a dream/vision, I (my character in this dream/vision) said:

“You know what this means! 
It’s hours!
We’ve only got hours!”

And at that I woke up startled and highly upset and agitated.  It was perhaps 4:30 AM.  I went downstairs and thought about sending out a warning to all our ministry partners and friends.  I knew that was a message from God.  But as I thought and prayed, I realized I still have not finished one of the assignments God has given me.  So that “hours” must be more than a handful. 

I didn’t send out the immediate warning.  I thought and prayed more, and spoke to Cathy who came downstairs right away.  Later I shared with a few close ministry friends.  

But the message of this dream/vision to me was unescapable:  My instant sense upon awakening was that the time to the Lord’s return is very very short and that the ships sinking was a sign of things falling apart as they indeed are now in our secular world.  I was comforted by the remark by the man that my boat is still out there and is riding the waves.

I need to add that as I sat and prayed I suddenly fell asleep and was again in the same dream.  This time Cathy and I were continuing to walk to where we live, although in this dream/vision it wasn’t a house but rather a second floor apartment in a two floor apartment building along the shore.  We went up to the apartment.  I went in and suddenly I saw through the window facing the ocean a wave as high as the window.  I grabbed Cathy and left quickly.  And I woke up.

I think that coda was just to add emphasis to the primary dream.

Several comments need to be made:

·            We don’t know how many hours we have until the Lord returns.  None of us ever have.  It could be thousands.  But whatever it is, obviously it is a short period.
·         Ever since the Lord called me to begin focusing on his return, all his words – received directly, through dreams or visions, through perhaps others he has spoken to about me – have used terms like days to refer to this time before he returns.   The last days.  Now the term is hours.  I think the message is clear.
·         A few close to us have offered insights they have received regarding the ships, but I think the interpretation I have shared here is the one that most fits.  If you have some guidance from the Lord on this, please forward to us.

SO WHAT DO YOU DO WITH ALL THIS?
·        Pray about it.  Seek God’s guidance for yourself.  Seek God’s confirmation for yourself.
·      If you are living at the coast or on an island, I think it’s time for you to think again about that, to consider where you live and continue to live and to seek God’s guidance.  And looking a bit more broadly, maybe also those of you who live in some other area frequently subject to really violent weather like tornados or earthquakes should do the same.
·     Certainly I don’t know each of your situations and what you need to do or not, but it is time now for you to seek God’s guidance on this.  Pray.  There are just too many signs and too much guidance of how close we are.  And again, the environment both natural and human gets tougher and tougher as we approach that hour of the Lord’s return. 
·        And once again as I say so often, tell others about the Lord and his imminent return.  Give them whatever you think they will listen to on this.  Give them our book WAKE UP AMERICA! or give them some of our CDs or newsletters.  Some people send our newsletter and other writings to others, by email or in paper form.  Pray for all you know do not know Jesus.  Pray for God to lead them to Jesus.  Remember in the end you cannot force anyone to believe.  God must lead them to that point.

SIGN OF THE TIMES: LIVING AND SURVIVING IN THE MIDST OF ABSOLUTE EVIL



Absolute evil.  That is what we are seeing so blatantly in America today.  Of course, most believers in Jesus have recognized evil all about in this world on an on-going basis.  And probably most nonbelievers surely see some aspects of evil.  But overall the secular world just doesn’t comprehend it or understand it.

Attempting to explain the horrible violence such as happened in El Paso and Dayton, various politicians and media reporters focus on gun control again and again or look into individual problems like mental illness.  Or drugs.  Or just turn to such catchall phrases as racism.  The fact remains, what we are seeing is a very visible, undeniable display of out and out plain absolute evil in all its perverted glory.

The mayor of El Paso got it right in an interview when he described what had happened as absolute evil.  That’s it.

The devil is running amok these days.  His time is limited.  We are nearing the end. 

So many who do not know Jesus are easy prey for his talents.  Remember, he is the father of lies        (John 8.44).  People who do not know about the spiritual realm and about how to use God’s tools for protecting themselves have no defense against the wiles of the evil one.  No unbeliever can stand against demons and evil spirits and most certainly against the devil.  No believer can either, except by standing in Jesus, by exercising faith and using the tools God has provided.

Look at how empty unbelievers are:
·         They don’t know God has sent his ministering spirits – his angels – to serve those who will inherit salvation.  That service certainly includes protection. (See Hebrews 1:14). 
·         And they don’t know about all the protective armor God has given us as described by Paul in Ephesians 6.
·         They don’t know that a true believer in Jesus can, in Jesus’ name, cast out evil spirits, as Jesus said in Mark 16:17. 
·         And they don’t know that a born again, spirit filled believer can discern spirits, can discern when there is danger about, can discern which way to go.  The gifts of the Spirit, the extraordinary guidance of the Spirit, are of indescribable value to the born again, Spirit filled believer (see John 14-16; 1 Corinthians 12, 14).
So many things God has done to equip the believer.  So much he has for us. 

And you as a believer, a born-again, Spirit-filled believer, have those skills and can take advantage of all this in this world.
For more on all this get our CDs The Holy Spirit, Fighting Evil, Your Authority in Christ, and more.  Watch our videos on these subjects on our website or on YOUTUBE.  Read the past newsletters that focused on this, such as the March 2018 one.

And get out there and do all you can to help others find the Lord.  Give them our book WAKE UP AMERICA! – JESUS IS COMING SOON.  Tell them about good and evil, about Jesus and what he has done for them.  Tell them about all the authority a believer has. 

These are the last of the last days.  As the angel said to Daniel in the last chapter of the book of Daniel in the Bible, the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.(Daniel 12:10).

True believers operating in the gifts know what is happening.  They can take action.  And they keep their eyes on Jesus. 

KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS.

HE IS YOUR ONLY HOPE.

ONE MORE TIME.  HE IS YOUR ONLY HOPE.

Those killers in El Paso and Dayton did not know Jesus.  They did not know his limitless love, his forgiveness, his caring.  They did not know his and the Holy Spirit’s and God the Father’s guidance for life.  They did not know the words of the Bible are true and real and full of life.  They did not know there is more to life than what they were experiencing, more than the great darkness and loneliness and emptiness. But they did know this – they knew the devil, whether they recognized him or not.  They knew darkness, they knew evil, they knew the direction of the evil forces.  And they acted on that. 

The devil is real.  So too demons and evil spirits.  But God is far more powerful.  Everything ever made is under Jesus’ feet.  In him, we can prevail.  Do that.  Prevail.

Remember again what I am always saying – be alert, be ready for the Lord to come.  In his words to me years ago, be alert, pray for the lost, seek him with all your heart.

Peace.

Maranatha.
