Chaotic Sovereignty: Brace for Impact

It seems that we need to buckle up for a very busy week of actions and changes in our nation.  I am so in awe of all Yahweh is doing now that His Judgement has enter this realm. 

This is a wonderful picture of Yahweh's Sovereignty over our Nation. He has said, "My judgement will not be postponed."  He has asked us to stand in the gap between His fury and the land, and we volunteered.  He has given us strategies and powerful proclamations as well as petitions for His intervention that He is answering and enforcing in "color-by-technicolor" as they used to say.

He has given downloads and revelation knowledge as to how He operates and precedents from Israel's history to confirm His ways of dealing with the nations.  

We are the blessed recipients of His wisdom and empowered to influence our culture for the Kingdom of Heaven and our King Jesus. With all the chaos in this season of our nation and life, I am reminded each day that Yahweh is still in control, and He has a plan and purpose for all we see unfolding.

I can see that we are in a time of "Collision of Kingdoms" and we need to "brace for impact".  The Kingdom of darkness has been invading our lives and nation to change our Biblically based culture and governing principles. When Yeshua came the first time, it was a declaration of war against the fallen Elohim, the rebels who brought satanic opposition against our Creator and against us as His immortal imagers.  

Fallen celestial beings fermented a rebellion and have taught some of humanity how to do the same.  These demonically inspired terrorists have gained entrance and even access to positions of power and control in order to destroy this nation and our way of life.

The return of Jesus will not be to die again, because that was His first act of love for His Beloved men and women.  When He returns, He will arrive in power and authority to take vengeance on His and our enemies here on earth.  

As much as we hate to see what is being exposed, without such exposure, nothing will change and the wicked will still continue to rob kill and destroy through waste, fraud, and abuse. 

As a principle of our Creator, never forget He is a Just Sovereign and operates according to the structure of law and order.  No one is able to "storm the gated of Heaven", demand entrance or require that the blessings of His Kingdom be given on demand.

Many will be turned away at the gates.  Sadly, for some because entitlement is not a thing to be demanded in God’s economy.  If not for the Sacrificial death of Jesus, we would all be turned away at the gate. 

Remember this and pray the shock of deportations serve as a symbolic reminder of the necessity of becoming a citizen in the forever Kingdom that awaits those who trust in the Blood of the Lamb.  Jesus who paid for our sin and grants us access to His eternal kingdom, waits for us to come rightfully, placing our trust in Him and being ever thankful for the price He paid to have us enabled to spend eternity with Him! 

Pray for divine encounters with Jesus for those who do not yet know Him! 

Today is the day of Salvation! We each have that opportunity today, so don’t let it pass and think that someday when death comes close, we can storm the gates of Heaven or sneak in unnoticed. That’s not how our Sovereign Creator works. He is patiently waiting for each one of us here on earth to seek Him. And desire to be part of His Kingdom.

With all of that said, choose this day whom you will serve.  The kingdom battle rages and a side must be chosen.  

The Holy Spirit is calling.  Can you hear Him?

The Never-Ending-Story

 I confess, I am a “serial journal-er”.  I have journaled my walk with the Lord for years and years. We, as followers of Jesus, are caught up in an epic "Never-ending-story" that is leading us to an eternal future of endless delight.  

Lately, I am pressed to share what I have come to call “Downloads” from My Heavenly Counselor: The Holy Spirit.  When our relationship with our Creator God is restored, we have unlimited access to His love, and all the goodness of our Heavenly Father that He brings via His indwelling Holy Spirit.    

These downloads from Heaven, come as I study His Word, and in the form of dreams, visions, a Word or words, the recalling of Biblical Precedents revealing how God has acted in the past and reliance on Sound Doctrine with current applications or just a random banner in the sky that needs more investigation.  Each is a unique way that the Lord captures my attention and compels me to go deeper to understand the Mystery of Who He is and How He works with His children.

What are the “end Times”? And how will these “end of days” flesh out here on earth?  This question is on most of our minds, and opinions are quite varied from person to person and even vary from Christian to Christian. Since life on this side of the veil, will influence what we will discover on the other side of the veil, it is important to spend time in thoughtful contemplation of what The Bible says about the end of days, and really really important to spend time in thoughtful contemplation in the Presence of the One who wrote it.

The book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ is mysterious and coded to get past the scrutiny of Rome when John, the Beloved Disciple of Yeshua wrote it while on the penal Island of Patmos.  His audience was the early church and comprised mostly of who we have come to call “Messianic Jews”.  This describes the Jewish followers of their true Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth.  They were Torah observant Jews who departed from their traditions of men and followed the One they called Rabbi, and the Son of David, spoken of in their sacred scrolls.  

The Bible is the progressive (recorded) revelation of Yahweh Elohim to His chosen people:  The Children of Israel.  When we undertake the challenge to study the Word of God, we must never forget that God revealed Himself to a man, (Abraham) and then to a nation (Israel).  We must not fail to interpret the sacred Scripture with that culture and in context of Jewish life and traditions in mind, realizing the Son of God, Jesus the Christ, came to us wrapped in Jewish flesh.  

Today, after His crucifixion and resurrection, as followers of Jesus, we are blessed with the indwelling Presence of the Holy Spirit who provides understanding and application of these ancient principles in our modern world and culture.  

Back in the beginning, in the garden of Eden there was but one rule:  Do not eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  All other trees are permissible for eating to your fill.  However, follow your own will and pleasures and you will surely die. 

Obviously, Adam and Eve did not die instantly, so we must look beyond the definition of immediate physical "death".  As we unlock some of the Mysteries of Holiness, the reason has become clear:  the death humanity experienced is not only the death of our flesh, in and of itself, devastating for our immortality, but without a plan of atonement, (forgiveness, as in a pardon of our rebellious sin nature), it is also the relational death of our love bond with our Creator.  This love relationship is the key to our eternal life and immortality as we were created in His image and are to be His immortal image bearers. In other words, we are in original design, created to live forever with Him.   

Choosing to rebel, is to serve our own free will desires, even to our detriment.  When Adam sinned, all humanity suffered going forward.  Sadly, at the fall, all people born of Adam's seed inherited a "sin nature".  Nothing we can do changes the nature we were born with. 

When Yeshua went to the cross to die for the "sin" of humanity (which is nothing less nor nothing more than rebellion of God's ruling authority in our lives), the penalty was paid in full.  

So, what does that mean?  And how does that impact our lives?  In a very merciful Divine intervention, the penalty of death for sin, was paid by the Only One who carried in His flesh veins, God's Holy Blood, NOT the sinful blood of Adam's seed.  Jesus, the Son of God, became the sacrificial Lamb, as a substitute offered in our place.  In a supernatural way, we have the opportunity to exchange our sin nature for His Holy one.  

This fact represents the Simple Gospel truth:  For God so loved the world (of humanity) that He gave His one and only Son (unto death) that whosoever believes (trusts) in Him (His identity as Savior having died in our place) will not perish but have eternal life.         

To have any relationship with Holiness, we must be Holy.  This is why Jesus came and by shedding His Holy Blood once for all, provided the opportunity to exchange our sin nature for His Holy Nature and become a child of God. This is a supernatural offering that is a mystery to our finite minds.  Yahweh is HOLY and cannot abide with unholiness.  This is why we must exchange our unholy "sin nature" with the Holy Nature of our Savior Jesus.  To be in right relationship with our Creator God, this exchange is mandatory. 

God's plan from the very beginning was to live or "dwell" with His people.  He created a garden in which to live with Adam and Eve.  Having rebelled His authority, the pair was evicted from His Presence, and all humanity thereafter suffered the penalty.  All humanity from the seed of Adam, is born with the sin "gene" and unable to be in relational unity with our Holy Creator God.

That "nature" exchange is an offering for a free will decision that we make and one that God will honor.  We get to choose whether to align with God's offering of a pardon in the life and death of Jesus or take our chances at the Great White Throne Judgement at the end of our days on earth.   As we accept that our sinful nature separates us from the Love of God, and as we repent (turn away) from that sin nature and we personally, by free will decision, accept that Jesus, by His death in His flesh body, paid the price for our freedom, and offered for us to have His Holy nature, we are then considered by God to be saved from any penalty or judgment made enforceable due to our sin nature.    

For any who repent for the sin of independence and rebellion and surrender to Yahweh's ruling authority, and Jesus's Sacrifice in our place, the debt is forgiven and we return to our relationship that was broken and destroyed at the "fall".  

Jesus came to tell us of God's love and His desire to have our broken relationship with Him restored.  But more than simply tell of God's love and speak of the need for a restoration we cannot have, Jesus came to atone for what we can never earn or have restored in our own best effort. 

The price of this rebellion is death. Final and permanent.  Ultimate eternal separation from the Author of Life and all that is Good.  The blessing for humanity is in the fact that the complete wrath of God was poured out on Jesus on the cross of Calvary and those who trust in what Jesus died to provide through His death on the cross will never experience that Holy Wrath.  

Understanding the Never-Ending-Story from the beginning, enables us to grasp and even reverence the last chapter here on this earth, when Judgement will be poured out on all who refuse to be reconciled with God the Father through the sacrificial death of His Son, Jesus.   

Are you ready for the "end of days" as revealed in and though the last Book of the Bible:  The Revelation of Jesus the Christ? 

The Holy Spirit is calling.  Can you hear Him?   

Backward Teaching

From out of the archives of my life and memories comes this little gem of dayz gone by:

Backward Teaching 

The Holy One calls to me this morning.  My life is full of energy brought by a group of little people known as "grandchildren".  It is one thing to have them visit once in a while and another to wake up to their delightful presence each morning.  Circumstances have opened this great opportunity to share life with them.

Today the Holy One speaks about the importance of raising our children in the admonition of the Lord.  It is a huge undertaking and responsibility especially with the world and all its seduction calling us into the web of carnal fast living and spiritual apathy.

As I consider the religious teaching of my own life years ago, I hear Him say, "Focus on teaching about relationship first".  

I was raised up under the generation that taught "hell fire and damnation" and the "wrath of a Holy God".   I often marvel at the sweet relationship I now have with the Lord and wonder about all that "inspired" fear I was presented with as a child.

I know that respect is born out of fear but there is a distinction between good and bad fear, and wonder if we don't get the two confused in our rearing of our children.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son".  "But if you cross Him and disobey His rules He will send you to hell in a "heartbeat."  What a confusing message that comes out of our attempts to raise our children to "do what is right".

Many parents choose to throw away the threat and promote grace, and others use the threat and fail to teach forgiveness.  The Holy One today, stresses the importance of teaching relationship that the Lord longs for with His beloved people no matter what the age.  

As I look around at families in crisis within the Body of Christ, it is sad that the divorce rate is as high within the Church as outside in the world.  What that tells me is that many are missing the entire point that Christianity is about relationship and not rules.

If Jesus said, "They will know you are My disciples by your love for one another" (John 13:35), then many have never understood what it means to be a follower of Christ.  Jesus was not referring to just the 12 when He made that statement but rather to all who would come to know Him as Lord over the course of history and time. 

We set about to teach the rules of engagement He taught us when He came in the flesh, but when our lusts and desires drive us to "break" the rules we fall back on grace and the liberty to get what we want despite what the Word of Holiness has to say on the matter.

We break our vows, trash our covenants, then worship as if that covers a multitude of our sins and we even re-define our sins and call them weaknesses or failures or little pet names that make the obvious violations of Holiness somehow acceptable. 

The problem with our Christian lives boils down to a problem with our Christ relationship.  We promote the rules but forsake the rule Giver, and in that we miss the entire point of the rules all together. 

Our relationship with Christ through the indwelling Holy Spirit is the only power we have over our flesh, its drives, its demands, its depravity.  The extent to which we falter in our flesh is an expose of our real relationship with Jesus.

If we promote the rules without first learning about loving the rule Giver, we will fail in our obedience to the "rules". Jesus said, "If you love Me, you will obey My commands".  There is a Sacred Romance to be enjoyed with the Lord Himself.   At every age there is a precious and priceless lesson to be taught and learned about that Sacred Romance with the King. 

Our children learn through Disney stories all about the concept of living happily ever after.  They get a picture of "the beauty and the beast" and the sacrifice of love.  They understand the "damsel" in distress, the 'knight" in shining armor, the "dragon" and the "rescue".   But do they really grasp that these are a picture of God's love, the intrigue of His kingdom, His invasion into our struggles and His rescue of our hearts?

If these are just pictures of human love and relationship, life quickly despoils the dream.  The truth is that these are all elements of the Sacred Romance the Lord wants with each one of us.

I know the King is coming.

I know His kingdom awaits us.

I know He has prepared a place for me.

I know I will live with Him for all eternity.

I know the King and His name is Jesus.

The Sacred Romance comes first, then the rules make sense. It's a backward teaching that promotes the rules before sharing the delight of a relationship.  And where teaching our children is concerned, we cannot share what we do not have.

The Holy Spirit is calling.  Can you hear Him?

The Spirit is Calling. Can you hear Him?

As we enter this new year 2026, realizing it may be the year the Lord comes to rescue His Bride, I am filled with the need to be in the greatest intimacy with the Holy Spirit.  His Presence is what brings peace to anything we may encounter in this sacred time before Yeshua comes, and we are supernaturally uplifted to join Him in the air according to His Word in 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18.

1Th 4:17

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord

1Th 4:18

Therefore comfort one another with these words.  

For those who have a hard time believing in the "supernatural" and may doubt the validity of these words, Jesus, when He walked the earth, came to show us the Father and in His love brought the Kingdom of Heaven here complete with "supernatural" signs of His deity.  Why would we expect anything less from Him today?  If this scripture has been given, it will be fulfilled in HIS time. 

As we wait for that glorious event and experience, and as we have trusted Him: The One God sent to save us from the penalty we all would suffer (eternal death) to bring us into His eternal Kingdom of life as it was intended before the fall, we have been given the Gift of His Holy Spirit as a seal and promise of that life to come. 

I recently found a very special worship song from the 1970's that speaks to an intimacy that the Lord wants us to have with Him and what drew me into the Sacred Romance I have with Him today. The Link below will take you to that song and here are the lyrics that drew me.

The Spirit is calling.   Can you hear Him?

Come Away

Song by

Maranatha! Music

Don't you be in such a hurry

Cause it only leads to worry

There's a time to work

But there's a time to pray

Try to find a quiet place

To hear His voice and seek His face

Can you hear the Spirit calling, Come away.

Come away, come away

Come and spend some time with Me,

Come away

Let your heart and mind be stilled

Let your empty cup be filled

Come and spend some time with Me,

Come away.

Are you sinking in your sorrow?

Are you worried about tomorrow?

Are the pressures of this life too hard to bear

If you cast your cares on Him

He'll give a perfect peace within

Can you hear the Spirit calling, Come away.

Hear Him say, Come away

Come and spend some time with Me

And my love will set You free

Come and spend some time with Me,

Come away.

Happy New Year 2026

2026 is finally here and this New Year has come with celebration and hopes, of a new season of great possibilities.

Could it be that this promise in God's Word will come to pass in 2026?

1 Thessalonians 4:17, for on that day (of His coming), it is written:  "For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven with a rousing cry, with God's Shofar; those who have died united with Christ will be the first to rise, and those who are left still alive will be caught up in the clouds (Raptured) to meet the Lord in the air and thus we will always be with the Lord.  So, encourage each other with these words".

I happen to believe the Holy Spirit is calling us through these words written long ago for this generation.  But can we hear Him? If so, how must we live in a way pleasing to Him in light of so great a promise? 

2025 was marked by a shift and move away from the familiarity I was accustomed to, and it ended with a new duty station and a nudge by the Holy One to engage in a study of the Book of Revelation.  

In all the studies I have done in all the books of the Bible, I have never taken the time to study the last book of the New Testament, and the last one that completes the cannon of scripture; line upon line, chapter and verse, word by word with the foundation of culture and context and with regard to the audience to whom it was originally given. 

This was a book written by a Jew for the Jews of the day who were in effect "Born Again" believers in Jesus as Messiah.  We know them today as Messianic Jews. The symbols John saw and wrote down were not as unfamiliar to his audience as they are mysterious to us today.  We must not make the mistake of trying to understand these symbols according to our modern-day experience of things created by and through human imagination and modern technology.  

I have listened to different teachers, expound on the mystery, with opinions and suppositions, commenting on bits and pieces but never sought to have the overview from an expository teaching method, something that provides a deeper understanding of the symbols John was told to write down as things he "saw".   

Yahweh does not leave us in the total dark, without understanding of His word, but gives His students clues and cues as to His plan and purposes for Humanity.  

As it pertains to the Body of Christ also known as His Bride, the next event with no other prophetic mile markers to be met, will be when He comes to pick us up as He promised before He left planet earth.  We have understood this as described in Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians. 1 Thessalonians 4:17:  "For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven with a rousing cry, with God's Shofar; those who have died united with Christ will be the first to rise, and those who are left still alive will be caught up in the clouds (Raptured) to meet the Lord in the air and thus we will always be with the Lord.  So, encourage each other with these words".

The reference to those who have "died united with Christ" was Paul addressing the concern of the early church who themselves were expecting to be raptured at any moment, that their beloveds would surely be taken up to be with Yeshua as well.  

The importance of this promise cannot be underestimated even as we wait in anticipation of that glorious day.  How we choose to live is influence by our belief in the imminent evacuation of the Bride of Christ before the 7-year tribulation period and before the "return of Yeshua". By our lifestyle we will attest and witness to the world around us the truth about our God and His eternal plans for us.  

A "witness" to the truth is designed to produce a response: conviction or condemnation.  It is not up to us what the outcome of our witness will be in the lives of those around us, but to be sure we must be a faithful witness to the life and existence of our Holy God and Savior Yeshua.  If conviction occurs it will lead to repentance and to ultimate forgiveness in salvation.  If not convicted, rebellion continues and will lead to judgement and ultimate punishment. 

Elsewhere in Scripture we are told about the influence of the lifestyle of a remnant.

Ezekiel 14:22, as Yahweh planned a disaster for Israel, and as they suffered His rebuke, He tells Ezekiel, "There will still be left a remnant in it (Israel) to be brought out, including both sons and daughters.  When they come out to you and you see their "way of life" (Lifestyle), and how they act, you will be consoled over the calamity I have brought upon Jerusalem, over everything I have done to it.  vs 23 "You will Understand that it was not without good reason that I did what I did".

Let this be a constant reminder to us that our lifestyle is to bring glory and honor to Yahweh all our days here on earth until this chosen generation is raptured by His supernatural intervention and for such a time as this, or via the temporal death of our physical bodies.  

We are not to fear anything but being outside of His grace and alienated from our Savior, Jesus, THE ONE who died that we might live with Him, eternally in the New Heaven and New Earth that is to come.  

As the days unfold according to the prophecy in the book of the "Revelation of Jesus the Christ" given to His disciple, John the Beloved, let us learn to sit at His feet and hear His voice speaking His will for us, personally as given to us by the Holy Spirit of Truth.

 

It is my firm belief that Jesus will make good on His Promise to rescue us BEFORE the great and terrible "day of the Lord" when truly all hell will break loose; when evil will be unleashed because the One restraining it will leave the earth realm and bring all of us who are indwelt by Him with Him to the place where "we will always be with the Lord."

We are to choose this day "Whom we will serve" and that means modeling a lifestyle of love and loyalty to our Savior and Lord Jesus.  What needs to change in my life so others will have an accurate picture of our God?  What needs to change in yours for that same end?

The Holy Spirit is calling.  Can you hear Him? 

                

   

 

  

Choose This Day Whom You Will Serve

The Holy One calls to me this morning.  We are living in a time of great division within our ranks as believers.  Outside threats have created inside conflict.  How we handled what we see, and experience has made us feel like enemies to those who once were considered friends.  Legalistic judgement came knocking at my door a while ago and I was quite surprised at who was standing there.

When judgement from the world comes, we understand it as the persecution we have been promised we will suffer.   Jesus said, "A student is not above his teacher nor a servant above his master......If the head of the house has been called "Beelzebub" how much more the members of his household.    Matt 10:25 

Somehow we expect that the world will persecute us for a righteous stand but when judgement hits from our legalistic home team the shock is stunning.  My mind reels from the shock of the judgement from those, who by every standard of the Word have betrayed the very righteousness they claim to defend.

Jesus warned His disciples in Matt 10:21. While they found themselves in hot water with the ruling authorities the final blow to their unit came from within.  Judas was one of them.

The Holy One speaks to the recent attack and shares a comforting word and a warning:

"Within My Body grow tares along with the wheat.  The enemy has infiltrated your ranks and sewn deception and error under the religious precept called "legalism".  My sheep are confused and defeated by the ever-shifting standards of legalistic expectations.  Beware the yeast of the Pharisees".

I see the truth of His message.  As I look at the bigger Body of Christ and having been steeped in legalistic bondage for many years, I understand personally that the judgements I held over others was to enable me to accept myself.  I excused my own violations while pointing out those of others.  Exalted self became a whitewashed fence.

Jesus, our beloved Savior came to set us free from the law of sin and death and while we embrace that in theory, we set about imposing rules taught by men as the conditions for membership in the "club of the saved", otherwise known as the Church.

Isaiah was given a message from God, for the Nation of Israel that we might want to consider as a message for the Church today:

The Lord says, "these people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.  Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men." 

Even in the context of that day and ritualistic observation of the law, God was dialing them up to understand the point that He sees and judges the heart.  

Christianity for some is like a pop culture today.  Join up, go to Church on Sunday, do some good things, put on a clean front and live like a child of hell during the week. 

Hypocrisy abounds in the Church of the living God.  Lifestyles of the rich and famous are the ones we covet while rejecting the humble, simple life that Jesus modeled in obedience to the Father's will even unto death.

We claim Jesus as Savior but reject him as Lord.  We have been saved out of Sodom and Gomorrah but as Lot's wife, we look back mesmerized at the world and its offerings unto our utter destruction. 

We live in the land of religious and faith freedom today with no expectation of martyrdom.  Yet what am I doing with my freedom to impact the world for my Kingdom and my King?

Every human has been given “free will” to choose, whether it be to do evil or good, whether to seek the Lord while He may be found or reject the One who died that we might live.   But our loving God will always provide a reason to choose Him even in the most dire of circumstances.

I have to say and then judge myself: Hypocrisy abounds if my Christianity is only skin deep.  Hypocrisy flourishes if I commit the same sin as the world I judge.  Hypocrisy thrives if I lower the standard of Holiness rather than live up to its challenge.

The Word of God says that without holiness no one will see God.  Do I care that the world sees God through me?  If I compromise the life of Holiness within in favor of my own definition of righteousness, the world will not be able to see God through my life, no matter how I whitewash the outside. 

True to His role in our Sacred Romance, the Holy One helps me process the confusion and pain of unexpected things even in the form of legalistic judgements from others who are claiming to share the name Christian.   His warnings cause me to look deep within my own heart for similar things.  He invites me into His Presence and encourages me with His Word.

Lines are being drawn even in the Body of Christ.  Matt 10 gives a prophetic expose of what we are to expect in these final days before the return of our King.  Jesus said, "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth.  I did not come to bring peace but a sword". 

The sword of Christ will divide, and it is a great divide.   The line between those who pay lip service and those whose hearts are true to the Lord will become more and more clear as life here ratchets up.  Here is where the "choosing" truly matters.

Knowing the line is being drawn helps me to choose on which side I will make my stand.  I am thankful that the Holy One calls to me each morning, for in His Presence there is peace.   Once again, I surrender my heart to the only one who can comfort it.

The Holy Spirit is calling.  Can you hear him?

 

Brace for Impact!

The battle is raging.  A clear line has been drawn in the shifting sands of our world.  It seems that on the prophetic timeline of our Creator's calendar, the return of our King Jesus (Yeshua) is very near.  That said, nobody knows that date, yet we are wise if we do not ignore nor reject that there is such a date when we will see Him coming in the clouds and place His feet on the exact place where He ascended into Heaven before the eyes of the disciples who bore witness to His resurrection.

Acts1:10-11, "As they were staring into the sky after Him, suddenly they saw two men dressed in white (Angels by definition), standing next to them.  The men said, "You Galileans! Why are you standing staring into space?  This Yeshua, Who has been taken away from you into Heaven, will come back to you in the very same way as you saw Him go into Heaven". 

Much time has passed since that epic day.  A battle of kingdoms began when Jesus came into the world and brought the knowledge of God and His plan for our rescue from the penalty of Sin and eternal death.   He declared war on the fallen little "g" gods who rebelled their divine state and rejected their Holy calling to instruct humans in the worship of Yahweh Elohim, God of all Creation, instead taking such worship unto themselves.   Their end is ultimate fatality and loss of their immortality. Psalm 82 

As the days unfold and the nations (people groups) rage against our Kingdom and King, the battle is heating up.  For those of us who trust and believe in the message brought by Jesus; that His shed Blood on the Cross of His crucifixion is our atonement for humanity's sin failure and has been accepted by our Creator God as "payment-in-full", tribulation defined as a pressure to appease evil is mounting.  BUT GOD.  His Word reveals that HIS rage will soon be released and seen poured out against the wicked.  (Revelation 11:18, Isaiah 27:20-21)

As I ponder all that is part of the end times scenario as we have been given in His word, I realize things are not as random as events may appear.  There are clues we have been given in the form of Divine precedents throughout the history of Man's days, reflecting God's ways of dealing with the nations and His guiding principles we are able to apply, in each generation for our own peace and to advance the Kingdom of Heaven.  Truly Adonai is the same yesterday today and tomorrow.  Rev 4:11

That said, Evil is also the same since from the beginning of time.  Embodied as Satan the accuser we read about in the book of Job, the devil is the author of death and pain, sadness and sorrow.  He is a liar and the accuser of Yahweh's beloved.  His lies about the goodness of God and humanity's intrinsic value, creates rejection of both the Creator and the created.  This causes wars designed to conquer and destroy rather than to spread the truth and knowledge of our benevolent Creator and bring a love for our own "kind".

The Children of Israel and now Christians who have trusted in Jesus as the One sent by God to save us from the penalty He established for the sin of human rebellion, are the targets of the devil's crusade to rob, kill and destroy all that God created and said "It is good"! 

Over the course of history, enemies of Adonai's authority over His created world and what might be described as His Kingdom, have launched (by human rebels) depraved assaults against His Sovereignty and Good Will in and for our lives in this earth realm.  As absurd as that is, there is now a battle raging between a kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of Heaven and our Sovereign Creator.   We are part of the army He will use to bring defeat to His enemies.  

I believe we are in a very strategic time and battle where His judgement of evil (acts and people) will not be postponed.  I hear Him say, "Brace for impact.  A collusion of kingdoms is about to occur."  What this means and how it will look is yet to be understood.             

Having said that, I recently dreamed about an Israeli woman, not just being murdered by terrorists but having her body mutilated and then asking Adonai the "why" question?

He spoke to me how these terrorists are in reality, demons that we are dealing with and for them murder of our kind (Yahweh's imagers) is not enough. They must desecrate our image. From murder they go to dismemberment and treating human bodies like an animal butchered for meat.

I hear those who do such things are demons in flesh and must be taken out.

Then He speaks to how these demoniacs are behind abortion and all that it involves. They are the same demons who mutilated Yeshua's human body beyond "human" recognition.

Point being, the virile hatred of Yahweh's imagers is manifesting out of possessed “people”. The devil and his hordes are making this last stand for ultimate power.

I’m convinced that Satan doesn’t care how many Christians die saved or how many non-believers die lost, his goal is to obliterate or neutralize those who might enter the kingdom battle and exercise our Divinely delegated dominion over him. 

Since Yeshua (Jesus) came and defeated Satan’s power on the cross, reclaiming for humanity what was surrendered in the garden of our origins, the battle has been to keep us deceived and ignorant of our Divine identity and delegated authority to destroy the devil’s works.  We are commissioned to advance the Kingdom of Heaven.

This goes beyond having a different world view from someone else. This goes to the heart of utter evil. This is a kingdom battle and we cannot minimize or excuse the opposition as just a territorial dispute of a land mass.

Dropping bombs from the air in nations at war, is different than mutilating the bodies of your enemy after torturing them through humiliating inhumane acts.

We need to get it straight: these demonic forces come to rob, kill and destroy US. Evil hates humanity: those who serve his purposes as much as those who oppose him.

Time for a check on who/what is being served by our mindset, perspective and stand on the situations we are called to judge. Good or evil is the choice and always remember the fence between the two belongs to Satan.

Regardless of what political side of the aisle you sit, as humans we must stand together against the demons who make war on our own kind. Pick your battles and fight. 

Whether human trafficking, abortion, satanic child sacrifice, and all that goes with it, sexual abuse of the innocent, organ harvesting, trans gendering of our birth identity and destruction of our true identity, (God’s immortal image bearers) take your stand and don’t back down. Appeasement equals defeat! 

Evil can and must be defeated, so my beloved friends: “burn the ships” there’s just no turning back in this battle.  Stand firm, Trust Yahweh, follow Yeshua, share the Gospel and help save the "Rahabs" caught behind enemy lines!

Have a blessed day in the realm.  I hope to see you on the battlefield. ☝️✝️⚔️🛡️🔥❤️‍🔥

The Holy Spirit is calling.  Can you hear Him?
