WATCHMAN WARNING: STAY ALERT

 

 

Not an easy time or pleasant time to be alive.  Not at all.

 

For just a few paragraphs to set the stage, let’s look at this world around us.  I focus here on the US although much similarly could be said of course about other nations.  In the US so many in the national government as well as in other positions of leadership seem to be acting in such ungodly ways.  Lies pervade their daily public remarks as well as so often the remarks of many of the media that are supposed to inform the public and remain impartial.

 

This is a day of evil like none we living now have ever seen.  I know there have been pockets of untold evil in the past, and moments of evil horror such as under the Nazis in WWII and elsewhere.  But this is a general evil that permeates the lifestyles and behaviors of so many people.  Large numbers obviously do not know they are themselves not telling the truth, or they just don’t care. 

 

Lost, confused people listen to the media and the government, and being ungodly themselves they are led astray.  So we get all the wild, virulent people saying things you know are not true.  But they obviously think they are.

 

This recent assassination attempt on former President Trump has shocked many even in the mainstream community.  Let’s be honest.  Most people living have not lived as adults when there has been such a thing happen in America. 

 

People like me who have lived quite a long time remember the ultimate horror of such a happening when the leader of the country was indeed killed.  The murder of President Kennedy was a horror that still has impact.  And all those living then gradually realized – or at least most did – that we were actually not being told the truth about what had happened.  Turned out more than just the shooter were involved.  The full disclosure of the investigation has not even now been released to the public, 61 years after the fact.  And thus began in full view the time of the national government deciding what is best for the people to know and what is not.  And thus also the beginning of many not trusting the government, a lack of trust that has grown up to today when people do not trust the federal security agencies, do not believe we will be told the truth in situations, do not believe many of the leaders.

 

I write all this as background leading up to a big statement.  And this is it.

 

People, dear people, please pay attention.  The times will only get worse on earth.  We are in the very last days of this human period.  The Lord will come any moment, and I surely hope it is indeed any moment, like today for example.  The Father obviously is still drawing others to Jesus.   We know from scripture how hard it all gets as the days go by, but we believers do know that at some moment we will be taken from this confused, dark world society as the final period of true horror on earth ensues.

 

The antichrist has not yet been revealed, although surely he is waiting in the wings.  When the true believers in Jesus are taken away, he no longer has serious human opposition to his efforts to build the one-world government and the Tribulation will go forward.  Already the UN and the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organization are working towards that.

 

Remember always where the truth lies.  It lies in God, in Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, in the Bible.  Pray.  Seek to hear more always.  Live and operate in the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  Use the gifts of the Spirit, especially the gift of discernment, to survive on earth.  The Holy Spirit guides us in all truth.  He tells us of things to come.  He reminds us of things Jesus has said to us.  Remember?

 

There are large numbers of deceived, even deluded people out there, godless people whom the devil readily leads astray.  Living in the midst of all this requires wisdom on our parts and absolute attention to God’s guidance.  His words and his truths are absolute.  They are real and they work.  Remember again Jesus said his believers can do the same things he did, even greater.  Well, are you doing them?  Are you trying to do them?  Are you using God’s tools of protection?  Healing the sick?  Casting out demons?

 

I admit this is an unpleasant time.  I admit I have great difficulty looking ever at reports of what is happening on earth.  But we do need to know what is happening around us surely, so we should try to stay up to date – but just for short periods.  Don’t sit still and blindly listen and watch news programs for hours.  If you do be sure to in Jesus’ name order away from you all evil spirits.

 

You see so many of these people on television in press conferences uttering gobbledygook, lies, falsehoods, nonsense, vitriol, and you see at times they actually believe what they say.  Your heart hurts for them.  They are lost.  They don’t know the truth.  They have no foundation in truth.

 

Jesus has told me so many things about his coming, and I have shared many of them with you.  “Don’t let them go into the night” is one of his statements to me. “When I come things will be different,” is another.  Thank God for that, I say.  And here are just a few more:

 

“Tell them I am coming soon.  My people have their eyes on me.  My people tell the truth.”

 

“It will be like a beacon, like a dagger, a moment, suddenly, no light surprise.”

 

“Tell them I love them.

 

  Tell them to stay focused.

 

  Tell them I am coming soon.

 

  Tell them not to be misled.”

 

Live and operate in the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Pray often and in the Spirit.  Develop your spiritual senses that you will be more discerning in all situations.  And WATCH! as the Lord says.  Be ready for his return.  Stay in the right relationship with him.  Don’t get lost in this lost world in which we all are living now.

 

Remember, our physical bodies may be living in this lost world but we believers – our very selves, our spirits – have somehow been lifted up and even now are sitting with Jesus in Heaven.  Paul wrote about that in Ephesians.  Believers know Jesus.  Believers have Jesus as their Lord.  They are citizens of the Kingdom of God.  They will soon be getting a new glorious body and will be spending eternity in that Kingdom.

 

Hang in there.  He is coming soon.

SIGN OF THE TIMES: HOW DO I GET HOME?

 

Home.

 

Well, what is home?  The house where you grew up?  The apartment?  Lots of people have moved so often there is no real such home like that.

 

Besides, that is just a building.   A place.

 

What is home – It’s where you belong.  It’s a place of peace, of joy.  A place you know you were always supposed to be.  According to Robert Frost, it is a place that, when you go there, they have to take you in.

 

There is only one true home for all humans, one real home.  And that is with the Creator – with God the Father, with Jesus.  Home.

 

But the only people who get to go to that home are believers in Jesus.  Those who have been born anew and have Jesus as their Lord.

 

All the others?  There is a place they are heading, but it is not the home I just described.  Nope.  Unless they change what they are doing, repent, and ask Jesus to be their Lord, they are heading to their ultimate lasting place, the Lake of Fire.  More popularly known as Hell.  There they will be with like-minded people and with the devil, the antichrist, and the false prophet for eternity.

 

Right now the overwhelming majority of people on earth are headed for that terrible eternal place.  Things can always change of course.  The only reason Jesus has not yet come no doubt is because the Father is still working to draw people to Jesus, to salvation.  But I haven’t seen any great signs there will be a huge number of the population suddenly shifting their fundamental behavior and beliefs and becoming true born again believers in Jesus.  Still, I pray that would happen.  We certainly work to tell people who Jesus is and that he is coming soon.  And huge numbers around the world have come to our short videos on this subject.  We will continue to work for more and more to be in the Kingdom, to help God the Father in his drawing them, to be a battle ax for an end time revival as the Lord has called us.

 

Most people live in a stupor.  Most don’t realize to be honest that God is real, Jesus is real, the Holy Spirit is real, the Bible is true, the devil is real, angels are real, demons are real, divine healings and miracles are real too and happen now in our day.  That is how I often started healing services – walking out and saying something like that. 

 

It is all about faith and belief in Jesus.  He is the only way to God.  Most people don’t have that.  Or they have some kind of intellectual faith in the wrong thing, like these terrible false religions like Islam or other things.  Or they perhaps do go so far as to attend a church on Sunday and maybe they even know some Jesus stories, but they never have come to grips with the truth that Jesus is real and alive right now, that miracles happen right now, that they can live in the presence of God right now and be guided by God right now.  They have never been born anew and do not have Jesus truly as the Lord of their lives.  And so they are lost too.

 

When the Lord collects his true believers very soon, that will be an earth-shaking, gut-wrenching moment to all left on earth, a moment like nothing ever before.  No doubt the lost governments will try to cover this up with some type of explanation, such as UFO’s taking the people away.  But whatever the explanation offered and how ever many are taken away, it will be undeniable that many people – including the most moral in society – have been taken away.  The ensuing period will be terrible.  Those who are left behind but do know some of the Jesus stories and maybe have a Bible will be the best off, for they should be able to realize what has happened.  And they should be doing their best to repent, to receive Jesus as their Lord, to get into the Kingdom.  Those hundreds of millions on earth in the false religions will have to rely on information they can find on the Internet, in bookstores, in church buildings, in homes of departed believers...if they even know what to look for.  Maybe they can watch our videos for a while and read our writings as long as they are posted, and maybe they can do that for many other ministries.

 

Going home.  I am ready to go home.  The believers I talk to are ready to go home.  They want to see Jesus come now.  They know that only God can lead people to Jesus, that they can do all they can to help in that, but that in the end he is the one who leads.  And each person seriously must ask Jesus to be their Lord.

 

Although believers hope and prefer their lost friends and family come to have Jesus as their Lord now, they do know these lost people will have a second chance to come to Jesus during the Tribulation Period, even though that time will be horrible.  Remember, John the disciple saw huge numbers of “Tribulation saints” in heaven in Revelation.

 

Home.  Believers are just about there.  Make sure as Jesus advised that you watch!  And that you pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man (See Luke 21:36).  Stay in the right relationship with Jesus!  Don’t allow yourself to drift away, to get so caught up in all the angst and turmoil and evil of this rapidly falling world in which you currently live.

 

Home is not far away.

* SIGN OF THE TIMES: CAN THINGS GET WORSE?

 

I hear some prominent ministers say, “God is not finished with America.”

 

How do they know that?  How can they say that?

 

They can’t.  The don’t know that unless they have heard directly from God.  I certainly have not heard that.  America in its modern day culture and society and government and lifestyle is  a modern version of Sodom and Gomorrah.  Eventually God’s patience runs out.  Eventually time runs out.  But you say, there are still some godly people living in America.  Well, yes, there are, a few.  Lot lived in Sodom too, remember?  And God took Lot out of Sodom before its destruction just as he soon will take the Lord’s believers out of the world.

 

We are at the very end of this human age.  Nothing has to happen before Jesus returns to collect his believers and take them with him.  And the beginning of the seven year Tribulation awaits the signing of an agreement with the Jews, with Israel (Daniel 9:27), likely a supposed peace agreement, put together by the individual who is in fact the antichrist.  That agreement could happen very soon as there is great pressure from the world for Israel to enter such an agreement.

 

And what happens during the Tribulation?  The pouring out of God’s wrath on the world.  His judgement of the world, a terrible time, in addition to the horrible actions of the unbelievers left behind and the government of the antichrist.

 

We are right there, dear friends.  No, I can’t give you the hour and day.  The Lord has not told me that.  I do not think he has told anyone that.  But he has in many different ways in his own words at different times made the points to me that “it is soon,” “when he comes things will be different,” “it will be swift,” “no light surprise,” …and then a direct assignment to me, “don’t let people go into the night.”  And of course that is what we have worked on for years, trying not to let people go into the night.  But there still are so many lost in this world.  You see them every day in your normal life as well as on television in the news or elsewhere.  Overwhelmingly, the majority are lost, lost, lost. 

 

Please ask the Holy Spirit to arrange all divine encounters he would have you have and ask him to guide you in those encounters. 

 

And just please be alert and aware and expect things in this world to get steadily worse, right up to the moment you hear the Lord’s command and join him in the air.

* SIGN OF THE TIMES: WHO DID JESUS SAY HE IS?

  

 

 

[Recently I posted this on X (Twitter), and I wanted all of you to see it. Simple but direct and crystal clear.  These are Jesus’ comments to the high priest, to Pilate, and to the woman at the well.]

 

Have you heard people say Jesus never said he was the Son of God, or the Messiah? Well, I just want to clear that up right here:

 

 

“Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.” [said by the high priest]

 

“Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied. - Matthew 26:63-64

 

 

Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

 

 “I am,” said Jesus. - Mark 14:61-62

 

 

They all asked, “Are you then the Son of God?”

 

He (Jesus) replied, “You are right in saying I am.” - Luke 22:70

 

 

So Pilate asked Jesus, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

 

“Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied. - Luke 23:3

 

 

“You are a king, then!” said Pilate.

 

Jesus answered, “You are right in saying I am a king.” - John 18:37

 

 

The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

 

Then Jesus declared, “I who speak to you am he.” - John 4:25-26

 

 

 

Jesus in his own words was the Son of God, the King of the Jews, and the Messiah, the Christ. He was the one and only perfect sacrifice that could pay the price for our sins, and he did. His going to and through the cross was the only way humanity could be reconciled to God. He was the only way for God to accomplish that reconciliation and he is the only way for you and me to God.

 

And I add to all this, he is coming soon to collect his believers.  So very soon.  America and the world are falling morally like a stone.  But you are a believer in the Lord and you know the truth.  Watch!  as he warned.  Be alert for his imminent return at a time and moment we do not know.  And do all you can to help the Father draw others to Jesus.  Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance and help in all this and to arrange divine encounters.

 

Always remember, the only thing that really matters is Jesus and your relationship with him.

* SIGN OF THE TIMES: THE FACTS AND TRUTH OF OUR EXISTENCE

 

When someone dies, and you are there with them – whether a dear family member or friend or someone else- at the moment of death that person’s life leaves the body.  It just goes somewhere else, and the body that is left is just an inanimate piece of material as is the chair you have been sitting in.   That person is no longer there.

 

Now, that person if they are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ will at some point in the near future, at the coming of the Lord to collect his believers, receive a glorious new body to live in.  And if the person is not a believer, that person will after the white throne judgement be sent off to eternity in the lake of fire, hell.

 

As the popular saying goes, “them’s the facts.”  Like them or not, those are true facts of this creation of God in which we live.  Life on earth exists under the commandments and rules and laws – spiritual and physical – of God.  Beyond that, the lives of people while on earth are of course under constant attack from the evil side, and those who do not truly know the Lord and all that is theirs through that relationship are easily led astray.  As John says in 1 John, the world is under the control of the evil one.  It will be so until Jesus wins the battle at the end of the Tribulation and sets up Kingdom government in Jerusalem, with that evil one having been thrown into a deep pit.

 

The only exception to the dominance of the evil one in the current world is the fact that believers in the Lord Jesus already have the Kingdom of God within them.  They are living in a totally different way than others all around.  And they have the power of that Kingdom, and all God’s promises, to use and apply while existing in this truly lost world.

 

Believers of course anxiously await the return of the Lord to collect them and take them with him.  They look forward to the new glorious bodies.  And they wonder what their lives will be like in the future.  That of course we will soon know.  This long period, this temporary pause in God’s calendar since Jesus left earth during which believers have been added to the Kingdom, will soon be over.  And God’s timing and plan will resume.  Seven years of Tribulation for those left behind, for the world.  Then a thousand year period under the government of the Kingdom of God based in Jerusalem, which believers will participate in.  And then finally the truly new Jerusalem described in chapter 21 in Revelation. 

 

Everyone, keep your eyes on Jesus.  Stay focused on all of God’s word.  Read again the promises, the truths, the commands, and more.  Read the gospel accounts over and over.  God’s word works.  We can do the same things Jesus did, even greater.  We can heal the sick, cast out demons, preach the gospel, and on and on.  But we must be persistent.  We must live in the right relationship with Jesus, we must operate in faith and in truth, we must rely on the truth and power of the Word, we must apply that Word to our lives and situations.  We can’t waiver.  If we slip up, if we stray away from the truths, we must ask for forgiveness which we will of course receive.  And we must be patient. 

 

God really does know what is going on in your life.  Every day ask the Lord Jesus to orchestrate your life, to bring glory to himself and the Father through you.  Ask the Holy Spirit to arrange divine encounters, conversations he would have you have with others, with nonbelievers.  Stand on the promises of health, and provision, and more.  Remind the Lord in prayer of things he has said to you and of promises in the Bible for believers.  He of course knows all this, but it is always good for you to talk about it in prayer.  Listen.  For guidance.  Don’t miss the Holy Spirit’s leading.  If you get a check in your spirit about something you are thinking of doing, don’t do it.  Stop and reconsider and pray.  Seek guidance.

 

All these many things on earth in our lives are all secondary to Jesus and our relationship with him.  The only thing that really matters is Jesus and your relationship with him.

 

I have greatly enjoyed the ministry God has led Cathy and me in.  I have wondered and marveled at things that have happened, that we have seen…healings, miracles, the fulfillment of God’s call and promises to us,  and so much more.  And I like you eagerly await the Lord’s imminent return.  But in the meantime we just can’t stop what we are doing.  Not you and not us.  It all continues, right up to the Lord’s return.  And then we will see what comes next for us, won’t we.  I can’t wait. 

 

 

 

Always remember, the only thing that really matters is Jesus and your relationship with him.

* SIGN OF THE TIMES: THE EXTRAORDINARY ACT

 

From the time that Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the forbidden fruit, humankind was separated from God.  For thousands of years.  From time to time God spoke into the world through some very special people called prophets, like Elijah and Elisha, but people were still separated from God.  They did not have a good future. 

All this changed when about two thousand years ago (actually sometime around 4 BC or a little before) the son of God came into the world in the form of a person called Jesus.  God was his father, and a human woman, Mary, was his mother.  He lived here about thirty three years, the last three of which he went about preaching, teaching, and healing.  And then at the end of that time he went to the cross to be crucified.

The religious leaders of his day in Jerusalem just could not abide what he was doing.  So they pressured the Roman government to crucify him, and in the end that is what happened.  Pilate, the Roman governor in charge, actually said he found no reason to crucify Jesus.  Pilate’s wife told him to have nothing to do with Jesus because she had suffered greatly because of Jesus in a dream.  Pilate and Jesus even had some meaningful conversation during which Jesus does affirm he is King of the Jews and that Pilate would have no power over him if it were not given to him from above.

But politics finally wins out – the local religious leaders pressured Pilate, even threatened him with how the emperor Ceasar might react. And Jesus is sent to the cross.  Even on the cross Pilate had a sign put above Jesus’ head that said the king of the Jews.

You know the rest of the event.  In not a very long time, Jesus died on the cross, was buried by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, and on the third day he rose from the dead.  He came back to life not just as a spirit but as a living, breathing body.  And over the course of several weeks he met with his disciples and appeared to others.  Then eventually as described in the first chapter of Acts he ascended to Heaven and left his believers here to spread the truth of the gospel.

What is the most important truth of that?  Jesus, the son of God, the son of man, took upon himself all our sins and served as the perfect sacrifice for humanity on that cross.  Nothing else could have done that.  His death there and his resurrection restored the way for people to God.  Anyone who realizes truly what Jesus did and asks for  and accepts his forgiveness and him as Lord of their life will be with him in Heaven and in the Kingdom of God.  In his own words, Jesus said he is the way, the truth, and the life.  He is.  He still is.

Currently Jesus sits at the right hand of God.  Soon, very very soon, he will be returning to collect his believers and the final seven year Tribulation will be underway.  At the end of that Jesus returns with his holy ones, wins the battle at Armageddon, and establishes his government in Jerusalem.  The physical Kingdom of God will be on earth and we believers will participate in that.

One of our short videos being watched around the word currently deals specifically with who Jesus is.  On X (Twitter) more than half a million have been to this specific post.  It is also on YOUTUBE.  To watch just click here for a direct connection to this JESUS video on our YOUTUBE site:

Episode 8 - JUST WHO IS THIS JESUS WHO IS COMING SO SOON? (youtube.com)

 

The only reason we have hope for the future is Jesus.

The only reason we have real joy is Jesus.

The only reason we have a good future is Jesus.

 

Always remember, the only thing that really matters is Jesus and your relationship with him.
