How DEEPLY Do You Think?

 

46795283597746447_jzJHNdD7_f

What a strange question! What an unusual thought! What an uncommon approach to life! BUT WHAT AN ABSOLUTE NEEDED STATEMENT to consider!!!

 

STOP! THINK about it! Or is such a thought too deep for you to consider?  Do you truly want to know answers to the deepest truths of the Universe?

 

People today do not appear to QUESTION much, if anything. They just take what is dished out to them over main stream media, movies, music, sports channels…POP CULTURE! If they see it, hear it, or feel it…then, to most, it is factual and truthful, and it becomes their reality. Living by their five senses and “if it feels good” do it mentality, most do not check to verify or question what they have seen or heard…and even less look into the origin and source of LIFE itself! They do not look to TRUTH. They do not search for LIFE. They live in a shallow, surface mindset that is usually controlled by shallow, surface people who are immoral for the most part and actually amoral, if TRUTH be known. The majority of today’s society live in an amoral bubble. This means they do not usually even have a conception of what morality is…much less a conception of righteousness, justice, and true spirituality. And as for freedom…it has no boundaries…rather it is just what “feels” good or is left to immediate individual thoughts, words, urges, and desires.

 

Classic historic values are seldom considered…much less realized any longer. History is twisted to conform to what people seem to want it to be rather than factual, long accepted realities of days long ago, patiently recorded and left for us to learn from. And where do you THINK this originates? Have you ever THOUGHT about it? This comes from a world view that wants to wipe out our origins, beginnings, and the end that has biblically foretold for centuries. It comes from a “thief” whose mode of operation is to “steal, kill, and destroy.” John 10:10a. Who, you might ask, is that thief?

 

Have you ever thought about TRUTH…deeply? What is it…what does it mean to not know it?    To not know TRUTH….is deception defined!

 

Who wants to be deceived? Have you ever considered if you are deceived…or not? Who wants to live a lie? Who wants to live under the influence of the Father of Lies? Who is this Father of Lies?

 

Questions, questions, questions…many questions to think deeply about!   This thinking “deeply” thing is something that has always been with me. As a child, I remember asking more than the normal amount of questions. Of course, they were typical for my age, such as why is the sky blue, the grass green, the sun hot, the world flat or round, etc. But possibly, the answer to one question is why I asked so many. I remember standing in the corner of our kitchen and asking my mama, who was cooking across the room, “Mama, what am I going to be when I grow up?”

 

She never turned around, but kept stirring whatever was in that pan on the stove, “Of course, I know what you will be. You will be a teacher.” I never doubted that to be true for me, and so I continued on my way asking questions all through my growing up years. And they didn’t stop, even when I entered college and was trained to be….yes, a teacher.
Even today, after teaching elementary, middle, high school, college age, and adults…I still ask questions.

 

My deepest, most meaningful questions for the past 43 years, however, have been to the Source of all knowledge and creation, Almighty God Himself. 264305071851249314_eH4htvkO_fBecause I have known Him to be, not only the Source, the Origin, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End; I know He not only has the answers….He is the ANSWER. He is the height, the depth, the width and the breadth of all things. He is the Way, the Truth, the Life. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith, the First and the Last. He is the Great I AM. Scripture verifies all these facts. Who else should we ask questions and allow His answers to affect what we THINK? There is none other with wisdom and understanding, counsel and might that compares to His. The scripture says that “His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways higher than our ways.” He is HIGH…He is DEEP. So we have to ask ourselves…how HIGH and how DEEP are we willing to think and be taught how to live?

 

Origins…Purpose…Destiny. Truth concerning these things “connects the dots” to the kind of life God created each of us to live. This, in turn, “connects” us to the kind of nations and societies He planned for us to have and function within.

 

“Teach me, Lord, what I do not see. If I have done wrong, I will do it no more!” Job 34:32

RELEASED from a SPIRIT of TERROR

The four end time spirits: 1) a Spirit of Stupor, 2) a Spirit of Confusion, 3) a Spirit of Assault, 4) a Spirit of Terror – build upon one another…resulting in havoc and chaos…personally, nationally, and globally…inside and outside the boundaries of Christianity. They do this to those who do not submit themselves to God and RESIST the DEVIL….the source of all of them.
amazingxh1Think of it! Word of these 4 specific spirits came in the early 90s, and the last 25 years has been FULL of these evil and reckless spirits…running rampant over the earth…especially growing in strength in America, as well as, around the world. Today, we are living to see the evidence of their strike…and are living with the consequences of the fact that they were not bound and stopped by the church when the call FIRST went out for us to do so…before they established strongholds in the lives of people on the earth…and in America which was founded upon many Christian principles.

 
The news media is a “polluted well” which continually churns up these spirits listed above…and especially the spirit of ASSAULT. “Spin” has become acceptable fare in this wicked business…attack, verbal abuse, argument, violent debate, yelling matches, assassinations of character, blaming of everyone else, total lack of respect of righteousness, truth, and justice is given free rein and has even become a very “popular form of entertainment” 24 and 7 on cable TV and the internet…globally! The roar from this continual activity is the “intercession of hell!” Always tempting, biting at and seeking to devour the undiscriminating listener. Verbal pollution is one of the enemy’s main tools to spread his agenda in these end times.

 
Evil becomes established when good men and women sit calmly by and do nothing…especially in the unseen spiritual realm. Therefore: We MUST wake up! Become aware! Arise and get up! Be alert! Sound the Alarm about such things…FIRST to ourselves, in our own walk with the Lord…and then to all people everywhere! And we must RESIST any form of these behaviors attempting to work in and through our own lives.

 
4). A Spirit of TERROR: intense, sharp, overmastering fear; extreme fear; violence or threats of violence used as a means of intimidation or coercion. TERRORISM: the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes; the state of fear and submission so produced; political control by means of terror, or resistance to godly government by means of terror. TERRORIZE: to fill or overcome with terror; to dominate or coerce by intimidation. TERRORIST: a person through whom any of the above is manifest!

 
In keeping with the lingo of our “cell phone technological world….’CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!!?’”

 
THIS is what daily life in this world has come to. And it did not begin with Osama bin Laden or Al Qaida or ISIS…nor did it start on 9-11. TERROR is plainly a Biblical concept…for its influence is listed there many times, as is its foundation…FEAR…a distressing emotion aroused by EVIL, impending danger, pain, whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid, dread.

 
NOW! Of this kind of “fear”, the Word of God plainly states: “ For GOD has NOT given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind!” 2 Timothy 1:7
The spirit of FEAR…and the spirit of TERROR…comes to “steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10) everyone…especially Christians. It is Satan’s plan to carry this out and wipe us off the face of the earth. So to entertain this spirit is to partner with the Thief…Satan…whose purpose is DESTRUCTION. Destruction of God’s Kingdom, His people, their unity, of any attempt to lead people to God, and to block Christians – God’s people – from living like Jesus and establishing “His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven,” (Matthew 6:10 ) We are his TARGET! The enemy of our soul tempts us with evil continually…to think evil…that that we will speak evil…and follow through with evil plans and actions. We are NOT to cooperate in any manner with him or his schemes…especially with the spirit of FEAR and TERROR!

 
If one is alive upon the earth today…there is no escaping the “sights and sounds” of FEAR and TERROR. It is present in reality in its most deadly forms…as was greatly exhibited on 9-11. However, leading up to and aiding and abetting the entrance of such things is the entertainment industry (movies, TV, videos, video games, and main stream media) which not only provides a wide variety of exhibitions of TERROR…but people (including Christians) actually PAY MONEY to “feed upon it”! This literally invites the spirit of FEAR and TERROR to “enter in” their “eye and ear gates” and be planted in their hearts and souls. One does not have to even be an instrument OF terror…to be controlled and manipulated by it. They can just watch and listen and continually “feed” on it to be mesmerized by it! TERROR becomes a morbid fascination and people are held hostage by it!

 
As God’s people, we must NOT “feed” upon news reports, movies, TV dramas, videos, articles and stories that are laced with strong doses of TERROR, horror, rampant killing, violence, and death. We cannot escape normal knowledge of these things by living in this world, but we can chose NOT to fix our attention on it and be lulled into a STUPOR…a state of being held hostage emotionally by such things. What we “look at” and “listen to” on a continual basis, we draw unto ourselves…so we must be careful WHAT we “look at” and FIX our attention upon!

 
Our Lord told His people thousands of years ago…”See, I have set before you today, LIFE and GOOD, DEATH and EVIL, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in HIS WAYS, and to keep HIS commandments, HIS statutes and HIS judgments, that you may live and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. BUT if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them (including the spirit of Stupor, Confusion, Assault, and Terror), you shall SURELY perish! I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you LIFE and DEATH, BLESSING and CURSING, therefore…CHOOSE LIFE, that both you and your descendants may LIVE; that you may love the Lord your God that you may obey His Voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days!” Deuteronomy 30:15-20.

 
To CHOOSE LIFE is to CHOOSE JESUS! The Bible, of course, speaks about “Godly fear”…and the “fear of the Lord”, but this “spirit of Terror” is NOT that! Actually, if all the people of the word had the fear of the Lord, there would be no problem with the spirit of Terror. It would cease to exist, for “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding,” Proverbs 9:10. The fear of the Lord is sanctifying: “The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether,” Psalm 19:8-9

 
As we daily humble ourselves, pray, seek His Face, repent, and turn from our wicked ways…the spirits of Stupor, Confusion, Assault, and Terror will have no entrance in our hearts or minds…and thus in our lives. It is not only good for God, His Kingdom, and us…it is also good for our children. For the best way to love and protect our children and families is to “fear the Lord…and walk in His ways…looking unto Jesus day by day!” For He is our LIFE and the length of our days!!!

 
For each of us, it is a personal choice. If you are in great anxiety and are overwhelmed by the “sights and sounds” of TERROR you see and hear daily in this modern, dangerous, perilous global environment in which we live, if you are living in a home situation locally where there is violence, the terror and pain of betrayal, lies, broken relationships, personal failure or ruin…then DAILY cry out to the LIVING GOD! Look to JESUS rather than to the overwhelming situation which torments and terrorizes you personally. Jesus has already defeated any and all fear and terror that you can experience or imagine….and ONLY IN HIM can we overcome it and know the Truth which He sent to us to make us FREE!

 
CHOOSE LIFE! CHOOSE JESUS!

 
In writing about these four end time spirits, I have in no way exhausted insight on the consequences of these evil things nor are they the only things Satan, the enemy of our souls, has released over humanity. My prayer is that these thoughts will cause us all continue to seek the Lord about how these 4 things many have influenced us or people we know so that we can be RELEASED from them and their influence…in Jesus’ Name. Also, may we be enlightened to firmly resist them. I do NOT believe that we have to be held hostage by them! Evil spirits are liars, fueled by the “father of lies…Satan”. These evil spirits are terrorists themselves…but they are NOT and never shall be more powerful than our God and the TRUTH of the His Word! For “greater is He that is in us, than he (satan) that is in the world!” 1 John 4:4

 
Our God has PROMISED us the safety of ABIDING in the Presence of God and speaks specifically to His faithful ones of that in Psalm 91. In verses 3-10 He speaks saying: “SURELY, He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the TERROR by night, nor of the arrow (bullet) that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look and see the reward of the wicked! Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling!”

 
Our God is not a God of explanations…but He is a God of PROMISES. He calls us to “Trust in the Lord with all our hearts, and lean not to our own understanding. In all our ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct our path!” Proverbs 3:5-6 We will never understand all the reasons why some things happen on this earth and even in our own personal lives, but we must each learn to LIVE BY HIS PROMISES and complete FAITH in HIM! Even in the face of actual TERROR and spirits of such swirling all around us in these last perilous days! He says to the ones who set their love upon Him: “Call upon Me, and I WILL answer you and show you great and mighty things that you do not know!” Jeremiah 33:3

 
He is our God who has promised to be with us in trouble and deliver us and honor us and with long life. He will satisfy us and show us His salvation! What a MIGHTY GOD we know and love and serve!!!

 
Looking unto JESUS….the ONE MIGHTY to SAVE and DELIVER US from ALL evil spirits!

Released from a Spirit of ASSAULT

We see that these four end time spirits: 1). a Spirit of STUPOR; 2). a Spirit of CONFUSION; 3). a Spirit of ASSAULT; 4). a Spirit of TERRORISM – build upon one another…resulting in havoc and chaos, personally, nationally, and globally…inside and outside the boundaries of Christianity.

 
162833342748006852_TAXR9O4O_fThink of it! Word of this came in the early 90s, and the last 26 years have been FULL of these evil and reckless spirits…running rampant and unbridled over the earth. They have especially grown in strength in America; and today, we are living to see the evidence of their strike and are living with the consequences of the fact that they were not bound and stopped by the church when the call FIRST went out for us to do so. As a result, they established strongholds in the lives and hearts of people on the earth and even in America which was founded upon many Christian principles.

 
The mainstream news media is a polluted well which continually churns up these spirits listed above…and especially, the spirit of ASSAULT. “Spin” (which is a dressed up word for lying) has become acceptable fare in this wicked business. Attack, verbal abuse and assault, argument, violent debate, yelling matches, total lack of respect of righteousness and truth…all these are given free rein and have even become a very “popular form of entertainment” 24 and 7 on cable TV…globally. The roar from this continual din of lies is the “intercession of hell!” Always tempting, biting at and seeking to devour the undiscriminating listener. Verbal pollution is one of the enemy’s main tools to spread his agenda in these end times.

 
Evil becomes established when good men and women sit calmly by and do nothing…especially in the unseen spiritual realm.

 
We MUST wake up! Become aware! Arise and get up! Be alert! Sound the Alarm about such things…FIRST to ourselves, in our own walk with the Lord, then then to all people everywhere! And we must RESIST any form of these behaviors attempting to work through our own lives and families.

 
A SPIRIT of ASSAULT: a sudden violent attack; unlawful physical attack upon another; to assail; to attack verbally, as with arguments, criticism, or abuse; intent to hurt and harm; to beset and attack on all sides, to surround, hem in with words or conflictual actions; clamor – loud quarreling. An attitude of total disagreement; hostility.

 
In all these definitions, we find the word “attack”; to set upon in a forceful, violent, hostile or aggressive way with or without a weapon, to begin fighting, to accuse, blame, or criticize severely, abuse verbally, try to harm, undermine or destroy, especially with verbal abuse; to devour with words; to consume destructively. (Ephesians 4:29-32 contains God’s admonition against such evil speaking.)

 
Satan is a thief, and we know that his purpose is to do nothing BUT to “steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10). Destruction of God’s kingdom, His people, their unity, and any attempt of a Christian to live like Jesus is his target. He tempts us with evil continually…to think evil…so that we will speak evil…and follow through with evil actions. We are NOT to cooperate in any manner with him or his schemes. The Word of God admonishes us.

 
“If you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another,” Galatians 5:15

 
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary, the devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour! RESIST HIM!” 1 Peter 5:9-10

 
Our Omniscient (all knowing) God knew that in these end times, these spirits would be unleashed by the enemy of the Cross and the enemy of our souls. He knew that the enemy, himself, would attempt to cause this spirit of ASSAULT to influence God’s people to “bite and devour” one another through such actions as described above. He has made provision through the Blood of Jesus, the infilling of His Holy Spirit, the power of His Name, and the whole armor of God to not only protect us IN such attacks, but also to deliver us FROM being those through whom the enemy works to bring on such attacks against others.

 
May we NEVER be found yielding to such wickedness. Yet, the enemy “walking about as a roaring lion” still tempting God’s people today to “take his bait” and be pawns in his scheme to verbally “bite and devour” other people…other Christians…other people in our lives.

 
If it were not possible, the Lord would not have warned us in Ephesians 5 of the possibility. In verse 9, He plainly tells us to RESIST this one who is like a “roaring lion”! We must FIRST, submit ourselves to God to receive His power to RESIST this power of the enemy. Do NOT give in to his evil desires…do NOT be a tool in his plans of attack and assault on other people, verbally or otherwise. “SUBMIT yourselves, therefore, to God; RESIST the devil and he will flee!” James 4:7

 
Life is precious. People, though often misguided, may be used as “agents” of “assault” upon us; yet, we are to know that underneath such behavior is a person Jesus Christ died for. He loves them and wants us to love them, too, and turn the “other cheek”, so to speak, (Matthew 5:39). ONLY by the power of the Holy Spirit as we walk in continual forgiveness may we see past destructive behavior in others and not be tempted to respond in like manner…thus giving in to the spirit of ASSAULT. Though you may be verbally assaulted, you do not have to assault back in the same manner.

 
Most of us would never consider physically harming another person, (though there are people who have and who would.) But here, I am focusing mostly upon the verbal assault with which many Christians attack one another – to their face or behind their back. We must not consider these forms any more than we would lift up a physical weapon against others; for attacking “words” bring destruction. When anyone “bites and devours” with assaulting words, it not only hurts and divides, it brings destruction of relationships and the unity in the Body of Christ our Lord calls us to. It brings division in families, friendships, and among masses of people.

 
In the layering of these spirits, we clearly see that those who give in to spirits, of STUPOR and CONFUSION, continue on in the deception to freely ASSAULT and ATTACK others verbally and sometimes, physically. All demonstrations of such things are destructive and hinder and block the building of God’s Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven.

 
Many consequences come from this spirit of ASSAULT…including: betrayal, divorce, broken relationships, oppressive hardships, failure, sickness, death, poverty, and ruin. Nations, as well as individuals do this; they give in to these spirits and then unleash destruction on one another in every conceivable form. ASSAULT is the precursor to WAR and all its destruction!

 
JESUS CHRIST…the TRUTH, the LIFE, and the WAY has come for the explicit purpose to dispel ALL spirit of stupor, confusion, assault, and terrorism! He spoke and declared with great AUTHORITY saying, “If you abide (live, stay, remain, continue) in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. AND you shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE!” (John 8:31-32) There is no doubt about it…no confusion about the TRUTH of this statement found in John! It is ETERNAL!

 
May we each humble ourselves before Him and pray from Job 34:32: “ ‘Teach ME, Lord, what I do not see. If I have done wrong…I will do it NO MORE!’ I repent! Convict and release me, O God! Deliver me from ANY of the effects or practices of this spirit of ASSAULT! May my tongue be a wellspring of life and NOT bring forth destruction. Spirits of assault…BE GONE! In Jesus’ Name! May my environment be cleansed of ANY spiritual assault and may my speech be pure and holy!”

 
“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things!” Philippians 4:8

Sandy

RELEASED from a Spirit of CONFUSION

I am continuing to write again concerning the four end time spirits God showed me nearly 3 decades ago were released into the world. They are as follows: 1). A Spirit of Stupor; 2). A Spirit of Confusion; 3). A Spirit of Assault; 4). a Spirit of Terrorism. We shall see how they build upon one another…having resulted in havoc and chaos…personally, nationally, and globally…inside and outside the boundaries of Christianity. For as the Church goes…so goes the world.

 
75cd33a11b8b3bcc9ec45e00b11618ccThink of it! Word of this came in the early 90s, and these last 26 years have been FULL of these evil reckless spirits…running rampant and unbridled over the earth…especially growing in strength in America where the evil of “political correctness” has practically become a “religion” of its own; and today, we are living to see the evidence of their strike! We are living with the consequences of the fact that they were not bound and stopped by the church when the call FIRST went out for us to do so…before these evil spirits established strongholds in the heart, minds, and lives of people world-wide…including in America which was founded upon many Christian principles.

 
Evil becomes established when good men and women sit calmly by and do nothing…especially in the unseen spiritual realm. We MUST wake up spiritually! Become aware! Arise and get up! Be alert! Sound the Alarm about such things…FIRST to ourselves, in our own walk with the Lord, and then to all people everywhere!

 
A Spirit of CONFUSION: a strong force sent from the pits of hell to cause disorder, upheaval, tumult, and chaos among people individually, in relationships, as well as in groups. The presence of this spirit in people results in a lack of clarity or distinctness, especially as it concerns the Truth of God’s Word, His will and His ways in how we are to relate to Him and to one another.

 
Apart from a heart knowledge of Truth – the Spirit of Truth which Jesus sent to His people (John 16:13) – people give way continually to perplexity, bewilderment, embarrassment, failure. They live in a disturbed mental and emotional state…a disorientation which can result over time in their personal defeat overthrow or ruin…as well as those about them. Such a state of mind releases murder and killing, especially of the defenseless unborn, babies, children and the elderly. Additionally, much murder and killing of people of all ages is rampant over the earth presently.

 
A person who opens themselves – intentionally or unintentionally – to this spirit of confusion has parts of their lives combined without order or logic; mentally and emotionally, they are in a jumble and disorder…resulting in much pain and disarray in their personal lives and can cause a domino effect in the lives of those about them – family, friends, and those who stand by. Such confused people are internally unclear, uncertain, unsure, not established spiritually and not “knowing right from wrong, good from evil” (according to what God teaches in His Word that is right, wrong, good, and evil.) Falling to this spirit, these people’s families are deeply affected, splintered, and most fall apart to some degree if not completely.

 
People caught in the snare of this attitude cannot make Godly decisions and follow through with commitments to others, much less make righteous promises to them or to God. Such people are deceived and personify confusion as spoken of in Isaiah 5: 20. Look what God says about such people: “Woe (judgment), to those who call “evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and prudent in their own sight!” Such ones believe a LIE about themselves, about God, about His Word, about relationships, about law and order, about life as a whole. Confused people make pacts with other confused people…and CONFUSION MULTIPLIES!

 
Confusion is a deception and a delusion which results in a multiplication of deceit and lies. This, in turn, becomes intentional concealment or misrepresentation of the truth (as has been demonstrated by “political correctness”). We were not created to be “politically” correct…but rather “spiritually” correct. Simple discourse among people is deeply affected by such confusion; whereas, more than not, people cannot have honest debate on issues concerning life without verbal warfare between themselves. One way to know this is when an evil “spirit” is attached to someone, logic is “out the window”, so to speak. Honest discussion and debate is not allowed with an honest conclusion that can be agreed upon.

 
Confusion in any of its forms is not a pretty sight; it causes a breakdown in society. It is a strong distraction and leads people AWAY from God and His Truth. It hinders the establishment of His Kingdom in people’s lives. It retards and hinders spiritual growth and development within people and groups; and people go round and round in communication circles like a dog chasing its tail rather than making progress individually, corporately, and governmentally.

 
Apart from clear direction and anointed leadership and due to a misrepresentation of the Truth, people cannot unify to establish and build God’s Kingdom in their arenas of influence. People who are under the deception of confusion are easy prey for deluded power mongers and “hirelings” within the Body of Christ who look for others to control or manipulate. This is true, inside and outside church circles. Jesus speaks of this in John 10:11-18.  Personal relationships can be, and often are, hindered and destroyed by the spirit of confusion heightened by false leadership who rule for financial gain and personal power. Godly progress is impeded in all arenas and areas of life as a result.

 
There can be no “agreement” with Truth among those who are being held under the power of spirit of confusion, and the Word says in Amos 3:3 “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” The simple truth is…NO! We need godly “agreement” in the Body of Christ. Agreement on the Truth in all things, so we can walk as ONE BODY, in unity, as the Lord has called us to walk – pulling together and not against one another. The spirit of Confusion works strongly to keep “disagreement” especially among God’s people. The acceptance of division between “denominations” (not a word found in God’s Word, by the way) is, in itself a form of “confusion” which has been around for millennia. It has kept God’s people divided. God’s people are the very ones who should be bringing about clarity and clear action as to how to live in this world; yet, sadly even some church people are greatly influenced by confusion.

 
Adding the Spirit of Stupor to the Spirit of Confusion, we can clearly see that those who are ensnared by the first spirit will easily fall prey to the second. Such people do not continually wear the “whole armor of God” (Ephesians 6:10-18). Those who are “spiritually asleep and in a stupor” do not keep themselves clothed and protected by God’s provisions of armor including truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation and the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. Many of God’s people are lazy and do not live by God’s Word which alone can dispel confusion and lies. Only LIGHT and TRUTH, which is Jesus Christ (God’s Word,) can dispel spiritual darkness and confusion.

 
JESUS CHRIST…the TRUTH, the LIFE, and the WAY has come for the explicit purpose to dispel ALL spirits of stupor and confusion, assault, and terrorism! He spoke and declared with great AUTHORITY saying, “If you abide (live, stay, remain, continue) in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE!” (John 8:31-32)

 
Free from spirits of stupor, spirits of confusion, spirits of assault, spirits of terrorism! And whom the Son has set free is….FREE INDEED! This is a spiritual action, with spiritual results! To KNOW the Truth is to not be confused, uncertain, or unclear! It is to KNOW…to perceive or understand as fact and truth; to apprehend clearly and with certainty, to be established in the truth and to be able to distinguish between light and dark, truth and lie, good and evil. It is to recognize, to be cognizant or aware of God’s will and way – to have insight into the true nature of things and know things in their right relationship! This is wisdom and understanding which our God has commanded His people to get! (Proverbs 4:5)

 
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, CONFUSION and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first, pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace!” James 3:13-18

 
May we each humble ourselves before Him and pray…from Job 34:32 “Teach ME, Lord, what I do not see. If I have done wrong…I will do it NO MORE!” I repent! Convict and release me, O God! Deliver me from ANY of the effects of this spirit of CONFUSION that “hangs in the air…like a slow moving, thick, foul odor”! Spirits of confusion…BE GONE! In Jesus’ Name! May my environment be cleansed of ANY spiritual confusion and may my spiritual “eyesight” be focused on JESUS! May His Truth be made plain and clear…in and through my life!

Released from a Spirit of STUPOR

I am currently sharing some information on four end time spirit that were more fully released into the world some 26 years ago. They are as follows: 1) a Spirit of Stupor; 2) a Spirit of Confusion; 3) a Spirit of Assault; 4) a Spirit of Terrorism.

 

 

89368373825233262_YV4RaqJW_fThink of it! For a fact, such evil, destructive spirits have been running rampant over the earth for almost three decades! The World Wide Web was launched in 1992, which opened the door – not only to the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be flung across the earth, but also for these reckless spirits to go around the world and begin to take root in current generations. Any Christians who have been alive and AWAKE spiritually…listening to the Spirit of God over these many years, have to admit this to be so. And today, we are living to see the evidence of the strike of such evil in the hearts and minds of people. We are also living with the consequences the fact that they were not bound and stopped by the church – at large – over these many years. As a result, these evil spirits have established strongholds in the lives of the people on the earth. Masses of people are locked in a condition of Stupor; their minds are continuously in Confusion. People Assault one another physically and verbally as a way of life; and of course, Terrorism has taken root across the planet.

 
Evil becomes established when good men and women sit calmly by and do nothing…especially in the unseen spiritual realm. We MUST wake up! Become aware! Arise and get up! Be alert! Sound the Alarm about such things…FIRST to ourselves, in our own walk with the Lord, and then to all people…everywhere! We must arm ourselves spiritually with the Word of God and be trained to combat such things with God’s spiritual weapons.

 
In looking closer at these very real influences in the world today, we must know that though we are the “people of God, called by His Name, called from the dark and delivered from shame” by the Blood of Jesus, we still live in a “fallen world” where we experience the “effects” of these evil spirits. Either we, or our family members, friends, and people we know are all affected by these serious and dangerous attitudes and actions which these evil spirits have released over us.

 
It is NEVER too late with God…and He does STILL calls us to pray, to intercede, to bind the enemy (Matthew 16:19), and “stand in the gap” in prayer for people and nations in this world who are affected by such serious and dangerous things. Our land is being ravaged by the enemy, yet 2 Chronicles 7:14 still holds: “If My People, who are called by My name will humble themselves, pray, seek My face, and turn from their wicked way, I will hear from Heaven and HEAL THEIR LAND!” Just knowing about this is not enough…we MUST be “doers of the Word” to combat it. If we do not, we have “deceived” ourselves! (James 1:22)

 
To be AWAKE and ALERT is to be AWARE…and be informed!

 
A Spirit of STUPOR: This spirit has found great influence today in people becoming very complacent and apathetic about Jesus, His Word, His Gospel, His Kingdom, and matters of living a holy, pure, and righteous life…and also, apathetic about other people’s suffering. As a result JUSTICE languishes!

 
COMPLACENT: self-centered; pleased with one’s self or one’s advantages or accomplishments, often without awareness of or concern for some defect, problem, or potential danger; self-satisfied, unconcerned, uninterested.

 
APATHETIC: having or showing little or no emotion or feeling; not interested or concerned; indifferent, calloused, unresponsive; insensitivity to suffering (can watch images of people being violated, including innocent babies and children and helpless people), humans and animals tormented, and killed in every conceivable way (beheaded, tortured), actions or scenes of torment to individuals, or in mass, and be unaffected, unmoved…even entertained by it!!!

 
People, as a whole, are very lethargic, numb emotionally, indifferent, callous, unfeeling, and sluggish about their deep need of living for God and walking in His ways. It is an environment, where people “do what is right in their own eyes” (Judges 21:25) with no regard to holiness, righteousness, Godly authority, or His Truth in how they live their lives. They are “self-satisfied” without Him. With their life centered around SELF…they have no desire for Him, nor a place for Him in their hearts, for it is FULL of itself; and thus they “buy into” the easily accessible spirit of STUPOR about the Truth and the things of God. They are easy prey for the enemy, and through the airways, (TV, movies, internet, mass media), they are seduced in a mass mindset to live for themselves and not walk with God. Thus, they forfeit his protection. NOTE: Read again the message I posted on Two Time Periods which speaks of America.

 
People (including Christians) have become mesmerized by attitudes picked up from TV, movies, mass media, and the entertainment industry. Most (especially in the Western world where all this is so readily available) are “couch potatoes” who sit mindlessly by and are “controlled and manipulated” by whatever comes to them via the mass media. Sex, perversion, violence, obsession with money and lifestyle are their daily fare. No purity. No justice. No peace.

 
It is as if they are hypnotized, spellbound, and fascinated with the unreality and fantasy of the images and sounds and effects they see and hear through a steady diet of such things and the industries that surround these images. Callous to true, real human need…they have “exchanged the truth…for a lie”…and love to have it so…in ever increasing doses. If you want to see that literally in the Bible…read Romans 1:18-32. It is very explicit! Also read 2 Timothy 3:1-9; Revelation 21:8

 
I won’t even go into details of such things, for God does in the above passages; but this wickedness of STUPOR captures the vast majority of people, especially the young generation (though many of the older generation live and act recklessly like they are teenagers and dishonor God with their bodies and in their lifestyles, too!) Captured by a spirit of Stupor! Their consciousness is seared (1 Timothy 4:2); they are damaged emotionally, and they come away bound by an end time spirit of stupor that causes them to be indifferent to the truth or its attending blessings. Their sensibilities are burned, scorched; and their hearts become hard and resistant to the liberating Truth about God, themselves, their purpose in life, and in eternity.

 
Let me give you a mind boggling statistic. Of the approximate 6.5 billion people who live on the earth today (1990s stats…now, today, 7 billion), over 3.5 or HALF of them are UNDER the age of 25!! All they know is what is on the earth today. Many are from Third World countries with no technology where they live a life of horror, war, and brutalization; and the rest are from modern countries whose “technological wonders” hold them hostage to watch such evil, brutal things, yet they do not know they are being “sucked into” this lie of Stupor, Confusion, Assault, and Terror. We must cry out for this half of the population to be SAVED!

 
Almost all of this young generation have never heard and do not know the TRUTH of the Gospel and the Lord JESUS CHRIST (apart from an intervention of God to pour out His Spirit in their generation…for which we must continually PRAY!) And because they do not know the TRUTH…they are easy prey for this “spirit of Stupor” and have little resistance to it when it seeks them out through images and sounds and violent behavior which they feel helpless against. It is just the “norm” in life for them; and they are addicted to, and swallowed up by it.

 
As stated, 2 Timothy 3:1-9 depicts some of this behavior as well as the other spirits we are studying. Read it and you will see He spells it out clearly! We are living in “perilous times”. God has said that they “will come”. That these times are a reality is not the issue…they HAVE come. But our God has called us, His people, to walk and live a different way…to model another behavior and attitude, one that is HIS and not conformed to this world. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we must RESIST such things ourselves if we are to be equipped to “stand in the gap”, to pray and intercede for others we know and love. We are appointed to help them find the “way OUT’ of such insensitive, indifferent mesmerizing bondage.

 
If you readers will bear with the “bad news” for a few days, as I write about these four evil spirits, we will work and pray together THROUGH to the GOOD NEWS and to how we may boldly RESIST THE DEVIL in his subtle, insidious schemes that he has sent out to capture the hearts and minds of people!

 
I am not a “doom and gloom” person, nor do I believe “what will be…will be”. My faith is IN GOD, in HIS PLAN, and in the POWER of HIS MIGHT! I am just a herald…a preacher and teacher of righteousness. One who cries out and who has been released to “blow His trumpet and SOUND AN ALARM in these same last days! JESUS CHRIST IS our HOPE OF GLORY…and of DELIVERANCE from such oppressive things. But we need not be “ignorant” of the devil’s devices. (2 Corinthians 2:11). We need to KNOW what we are up against and the truth of the reality of what God’s Plan is in the midst of it.

 
Pray always with me…from Job 34:32 (NIV) “Teach me, Lord, what I do not see. If I have done wrong…I will do it NO MORE!” Convict and release us, O, God! Deliver ALL of us from ANY of the effects of this spirit of STUPOR that “hangs in the air…like a slow moving, thick, foul odor!”

 
May the beautiful fragrance of JESUS CHRIST and his Truth…set us FREE! For “whom the Son has set free…is FREE INDEED”! John 8:36

More than ever…LOOKING unto JESUS!
Sandy

Four End Time Spirits Released

About 28 years ago, I heard a teacher of that day speak out about “end time spirits” that the Lord had revealed were THEN beginning to be released against the church…and thus, against all the people on the earth. This touched my heart deeply, as I became alert to this very real possibility which would drastically affect the lives of countless billions of people. I began to seek God to understand more of this revelation, so I could personally share with others what the Lord was stirring in my own heart concerning it. At the time, I only knew the names I heard mentioned of 4 of these spirits, but I began to seriously pray about it, and ask God to “teach me what I did not see” (Job 34:32 NIV) so I could be prepared to face such times that my generation and those following would live in.

46795283597746447_jzJHNdD7_fHe began to teach and give me more understanding about these 4 spirits, and I so in the mid-90s, I started writing down the insights and revelations He was pouring into my spirit so I could share it with other Christians. From the mid-90s into 2014, I shared this information everywhere I could as I began to learn more about the internet and how to utilize it. I had a lot to learn in that arena; however, over time, I learned more about creating blogs and finding ways to get this information out. I also shared it in small Bible study groups I led, locally. These insights, though very real and true, were, at first, not as obvious to the people of the world; but especially in 2001, when the World Trade Center was destroyed, a page turned in reality that began to “stare us all in the face” as to the truth of the release of such evil. It had come to our very doorstep!

 
The Lord showed me that the purpose of these spirits was to “steal, kill, and destroy” God’s people, the furtherance of the Gospel, and the establishment of His Kingdom. Speaking in John 10:10, Jesus teaches us that the mode of operation of the “thief” is to do just that; and now, almost 3 decades later, we find ourselves actually living in the “end times” and can actually see real evidence of those three things. The agenda of Satan in these last days is to literally “steal” from God’s people by any means possible, to “kill” as many as he can, and to “destroy” God’s message and plan for mankind. His agenda is world-wide, but his primary target today, is especially in the battle for the “soul” of the American Republic.

 
Since we are not to be ignorant of the devil’s devices, we need to be spiritually “awake and alert” to that which is swirling about us in this life for the purpose of successfully “resisting the devil”. This is only possible for those who have literally “submitted” our hearts and lives to the Lord. (James 4:7-10) For if we attempt to resist the “enemy of our souls” without truly submitting our hearts and lives to the Lord, we will be overcome by the evil that is presently rampant upon this earth. God is our “Strong Tower”! He is our Shelter, our Protection; and we must absolutely be His, in spirit and in truth to be in a position to find the protection that is promised His own.

 
The reason awareness of this information is so vital, is that if we are not aware of and actively resisting and combatting these things, we are slowly, but surely, being overcome by these evil spirits. Often this presents itself to us by feeling overwhelmed, oppressed, worn out, depressed, and crushed by the scenarios that are going on globally, nationally, locally, as well as in our own interpersonal groups of family and friends. Rather than succumbing to a feeling of helplessness and giving up, these things MUST BE actively resisted in the strength and power of Almighty God; for apart from HIS strength and power, there is no defense against such things.

 
Now before I share the names of these 4 spirits, I want to establish what the Word of the Lord says in two places. The first is found in 2 Chronicles 15:2-7. There we find these words: “The Lord is WITH YOU while you are WITH HIM. If you SEEK HIM, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you…but when in their trouble they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them. And in those times, there was not peace to the one who went out, nor to the one who came in, but great turmoil was on all the inhabitants of the land. So nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every adversity. BUT YOU…Be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”

 
The other passage through which He spoke to His people is found in Isaiah 43:1-5. “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned. Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, the HOLY ONE of ISRAEL, your SAVIOR….You have been honored, and I have loved you, therefore, I will give men for you, and people for your life. Fear not, for I AM WITH YOU!” What comfort and strength is ours if we give heed to these promises of God!

 
I take great comfort from these promises of God as I walk closely with him, day by day, moment by moment; for in the face of these fierce End Time spirits, we need to all be covered with the “whole armor of God” spoken of in Ephesians 6:10-18. Please read that passage.

 
The enemy has declared “war” on the people of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the Law of Battle. Twenty six years ago, in 1992, it was said, even BEFORE we lived to see all that we have seen in these past tumultuous years, that these four evil spirits would be released against the church, God’s people. They are released by Satan for the purpose of stealing our witness, killing us, and effectively disabling us, whenever they can, and destroying us and our attempts to establish God’s Kingdom in our lives and the lives of those to which we are sent to witness.

 
These evil spirits are as follows: 1) a Spirit of Stupor; 2) a Spirit of Confusion; 3) a Spirit of Assault; 4) a Spirit of Terrorism. Think of it! The last 26 years has been FULL of these evil and reckless spirits, running rampant over the earth; and today, we are living to see the evidence of their strike, as well as, living with the consequences of the fact that they were not bound and stopped by the church when the call first went out for us to do so before they established strongholds in the lives of people all over the earth.

 
Evil becomes established when good men and women sit calmly by and do nothing, especially in the unseen spiritual realm. We MUST wake up! Become aware! Arise and get up! Be alert! Sound the alarm about such things…first to ourselves, in our own walk with the Lord, and then on behalf of all people everywhere!

 
In this blog, I will begin to look at each of these fierce end time spirits individually to gain an understanding as how to effectively resist them with the Word of God and in prayer! Watch for following information.

 
Looking unto Jesus,
Sandy~

If You REALLY want the World to be DIFFERENT

Recently reading God’s Word in Colossians 3:12-17….the thought came to me….IF ONLY we would all DO these words….how DIFFERENT our families, work places, culture, country and world would be!

“Since God chose you to be the holy people He loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.  Make allowances for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you.  116178865357195221_d6wnZJ0g_fRemember the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.  ABOVE ALL, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts.  For as members of one body, you are called to live in peace.  And always be thankful. 

“Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives, Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom He gives.  Sing psalms and hymns, and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.  And WHATEVER YOU DO OR SAY, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”

Can you JUST IMAGINE how DIFFERENT families would be?  Work place relationships would be…culture…our nation…and the world?  THINK ABOUT IT.  Read those words over and over and ASK GOD to give you a REVELATION of them and to empower you to put them into ACTION in your own life and in the lives of others!  How FAR we have fallen from these simple truths!!!

This all BEGINS with a belief in Almighty God…the ONE GOD: our Creator, our Savior, our Lord! Apart from that…it is impossible to do.  But He does and will empower anyone who humbly comes to Him and dares to believe He IS who He says He is!  Differing religions offer “their ways” to mankind (many of which include some good things), but there is only ONE who is “the Way”…. and with whom we may have a personal relationship…and not just some “religious viewpoint”.

 The One True God is….the God of the Bible.  Whosoever will…may come.  His Arms are open wide to those who will dare to humble themselves, ask for,  and receive this personal relationship with Him, by repenting of their sins (from their heart), and receiving the sacrifice of Jesus’ Blood on the Cross of Calvary.

The Bible…the true Word of God is filled with the words of LIFE that teach and explain all of this.   For Jesus spoke saying, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one can come to the Father except through me!”  John 14:6

Only THIS GOD…can infill mankind with His Holy Spirit…who alone…has the power to enable us to DO the words written above in Colossians 3:12-17.  Read them again…meditate on them. T1113208523015665423S500x500Q85his, alone, will put an END to all the hate, and anger, and violence that is currently raging about us…especially today…in America.

Imagine the main stream media reporting on tenderheartedness, kindness, mercy, humility, gentleness, and patience among people. Stories that tell of people making allowances for each other’s faults, and literal actions of forgiveness.  Realities of people clothing themselves with love, peace and thankfulness, for these things bind us together in perfect harmony.   Remember the old song…”Let there be PEACE on earth…and let it begin with ME!”

Well,  it begins…with JESUS IN US!  In a personal relationship.  Won’t you let Him in your heart?  I have. It, alone, makes the difference we need…and this world needs.   And like me…won’t you ask Him for a FRESH REVELATION of what it means to live out Colossians 3:12-17 and pray that all men…everywhere will do the same?

If you haven’t…don’t be expecting there to be change in the current situations. So don’t complain or point fingers at others.  Satan started that old “blame game” in the Garden in the beginning, and it never has, nor it ever will change anything.

Just sayin……if you REALLY want the world to…BE DIFFERENT!

AWAKE! ARISE! ALERT! ALARM! Part 2

Once we enter the Kingdom of God, our spirits become alive unto Him.  All parts of 150943_430782643662290_288041493_nour being (our soul and our body) that were not His, now belong to God.  Our spirits have been “born again”.   We are “new creations” in Christ Jesus! We are to come to Him…in Spirit and in Truth!

“Jesus said, “I assure you, unless you are born again, you can never see the Kingdom of God.”

“What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus, “How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?”

“Jesus replied, “The truth is, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water (natural birth) and Spirit (spiritual birth).  Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives new life from heaven.  So don’t be surprised at my statement that you must be born again.  Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.”   John 3: 3-8

Being alive unto God by the spirit means being spiritually awake and continually aware of Him and the things of His Spirit.  However, many Christians experience lives led by their flesh.  This means that their soul (mind, will, and emotions) and body are in control and dominate their lives and behavior; and their spirits “slumber and sleep”. They are unaware of what is going on about them spiritually and how their lives “connect” to Heavenly activity in the realm of the spirit. Living out our lives under the control of our soul and body is not how God planned us to live.  We are to live guided and directed by His Spirit through our own redeemed spirit. Our soul (mind, emotions, and will) are to be renewed and submit to our spirit.  Our body is to also submit to our spirit.

To be spiritually AWAKE is to be spiritually AWARE!

AWARENESS is a consciousness of that which is about us, emotionally, physically….and spiritually!

There is no need to fear being spiritually AWAKE and AWARE!  Ask God for it!  If we have a teachable spirit, God will make us individually aware of that which we need to see about Himself…ourselves…others, AND the times we are living in!  This spiritual awareness can protect us, forewarn us, and also help us overcome some of that personal “blind side”  of our flesh that continually gets us into trouble.  Being spiritually aware is part of being alert to multitudes of conflicts in the cultural surroundings, relationships, and events we face daily.   To do that, we must be in touch with our redeemed spirit and then renew our mind and thinking by continually studying God’s Word and praying, asking God to reveal Himself and His truth to us personally.

“Teach me, O Lord, what I do not see. If I have done wrong, I will do it no more.”  Job 34:32

This becomes the attitude of our heart.  After all, His purpose is that we love Him completely…, love ourselves correctly…, and love others compassionately. We are truly unable to do that apart from His guidance, help, and grace.  So ASK for it!

AWARENESS  moves us toward positive spiritual change and growth,  toward solving life’s problems,  toward getting needs met,  toward our next lesson in life.  129478558006631345_u50twnRU_cThe Holy Spirit teaches us “line upon line, precept upon precept,  here a little, there a little,” Isaiah 28:10 as we continually make ourselves available to Him.

It is only as we are purposefully aware…conscious of­­­  God’s revealed Truth that He is able to get our attention in life and prepares us for real CHANGE and GROWTH­­­­­­ from the INSIDE – OUT!  The awakened Believer is AWARE and conscious of God and His Word because he “studies to show himself approved unto God, a workman who needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of Truth.”  2 Timothy 2:15

Such a one is conscious of their responsible privilege, seeking God continuously in prayer to  become increasingly aware of God’s full purpose for his or her life!   In doing so, we learn the TRUTH about God and His ways…how to “enter in His Presence”…how to be a “doer of the Word”…how to not be ashamed of Jesus but to run TO Him in times of  trouble.  As a result, our “spiritual awareness” will increase…significantly!  We will be spiritually AWAKE and ALERT!

It is so critical that the generation of young people who are 25 and under….over HALF of the world’s population… becomes spiritually aware in this manner so that they can reach their own peers in these crucial End Times!  No one can truly reach them except those who, themselves, are  filled with God’s Holy Spirit!  Spiritually AWAKE!  Spiritually AWARE!  Spiritually RISING UP!!  Spiritually ALERT…and going forth to sound the spiritual ALARM that Jesus is, indeed, coming SOON!

This is the generation who will welcome Him back as Lord; and those, in their teens and twenties are going to have a significant part in this awesome time table! God needs ALL to AWAKE, ARISE, ALERT, and ALARM…but this is especially the hour for the generation of teens and twenties to humble themselves and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth! They are the Church, and God is calling to them…NOW!

AWAKE! ARISE! ALERT! ALARM!

For twenty five years, the Lord has moved on me to periodically share this word He spoke to my heart.  He told me that for the rest of my life…I was to “sound an 302586_10151179291964634_1666792552_nalarm” with it in ways and in times in which He would lead.  As 2017 has dawned upon us…I see…especially in America,  dire situations that call for it to be spoken, once again, to the people who reside in the realms of influence to which the Lord has appointed me.  It is a NOW message…it is a Call to ACTION…a Call to RESPOND!

May it be PERSONAL to each of us, and may we each RECEIVE IT, and EXAMINE OURSELVES (2 Corinthians 13:5) to see if we are personally walking in FAITH and RIGHTEOUSNESS with God!

____________________________

In 1992, I was trying to get to sleep late one night. I tossed and turned, and finally realized that I needed to get up, go downstairs and pray. I spent quite some time just crying out to God in prayer, and as a result I began to specifically hear a significant message from the Lord.  In my spirit I could clearly hear these words:

AWAKE! ARISE! ALERT! ALARM!

It was as if the Spirit of the Lord emblazoned this thought in my heart and it has never left me all these years! I recorded those piercing words in a journal and have often spoken them to Christians in the arenas of influence which I have been given, for I know them to be words from the heart of God which are to be taken seriously.  (Especially TODAY in 2017!)

Each word is a call to action, and each word expects a response from the people of God!

When I first heard them in July of 1992, they came to my spirit very emphatically, as though the Spirit of God was speaking them in a steady staccato rhythm! Over and over I hear them ring out in my spirit!

AWAKE! ARISE! ALERT! ALARM!
AWAKE! ARISE! ALERT! ALARM!
AWAKE! ARISE! ALERT! ALARM!

These are timely words by which God is calling His people… to shake off a slumbering spirit, get up and awaken from the places of comfort, ease, or entitlement any may find themselves in, arise within their spirits, be alert to the seriousness of the hour in which we are all living! Sound the alarm, the message, that people from all nations need Jesus Christ living in their hearts! For apart from Him, people do not find true eternal salvation…and they are not able to truthfully see what is happening in our world (and America especially) at this current time.

People need a Savior! People need the Lord!

The message of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ has been continuously preached for over 2000 years. Millions of people have heard and answered the call throughout all generations but the call continues to come….the invitation still stands to the billions of people that are alive on the face of the earth today. Whosoever will….may come unto Him and receive His Holy Spirit into their hearts, thus receive cancellation of the debt of their personal sin and be transformed in their spirit into a new creation in Christ Jesus.

It takes humility to acknowledge that there is an authority higher than our own, and an even greater humility to keep one’s self under that Authority daily.

God is our Creator, and He who made us has creation “rights” to His creation. Yet, in His love, He created us with a free will, giving us the right to make the choice as to whether we will allow Him to be Lord, the One with Authority in our lives, or not.

He designed us to live under the sheltering provision of His Authority, His will and His way. As we bring our personal wills into line with His Sovereign will, we receive the eternal benefits of His provision; but those who do not choose to “agree” with the One who created them, forfeit the Kingdom benefits of eternal provision and protection.

Awake!  Arise!  Alert!  Alarm!

We serve a merciful and gracious God who suffers long in waiting upon His Creation, man, to make this pivotal choice and surrender his life to Him. But in His written Word, He has stated that He will “not strive forever with man,” (Genesis 6:3)

God’s word tells His people that they are to “walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh. In the New Living Translation,He says it this way:  “So I advise you to live according to your new life in the Holy Spirit.  Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.  The old sinful nature loves to do evil, which is just opposite from what the Holy Spirit wants.  And the Spirit gives us desires that are opposite from what the sinful nature desires.  These two forces are constantly fighting each other, and your choices are never free from this conflict.” (16-17)

Verses 19-21 spell out that the works and desires of the flesh are evident in these things: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin.  Let me tell you AGAIN, as I have before, that ANYONE living that sort of life will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God.” (Galatians 5:16, 19-21)

Walking under the sheltering provision of His Kingdom is to take such warnings seriously and heed them in our daily lives. AWAKE to righteousness! ARISE, step away from the works of the flesh. Be ALERT to the words of God! Heed the ALARM that is being sounded, calling men and women across the world out of bondage and the gross darkness of sin and into the marvelous light of God’s grace and truth!

Be one who leads the way!  Others will follow as you look to Jesus and sound the ALARM for the cause of the Kingdom of God!   This is a Call to ACTION…a Call to RESPOND in your own personal life!!!

“For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet, who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”         Esther 4:14

…..to be continued.

DETERMINATION: Working intently to accomplish goals regardless of the opposition.

The ARK of SAFETY

NOTE:  Words such as this and others on this blog do not come from “head” knowledge…but are “revealed” knowledge to the heart to those who “humble themselves, pray, and seek His Face” continually. They are not for controversy nor debate.  Only those who truly seek God will be able to understand and receive them…for the “wisdom of God (insight into the true nature of things) is foolishness to the world!” When God speaks, He uses many metaphors…as He did in the Parables…but the says what He means…and He means what He says…unlike mankind.  We do well to take heed to what God speaks!

_______________________________________

In the days and months and years that are rushing at you, it is not going to be “church as usual”, for My people; for life is not going to be “as usual”.  The peril, the danger, the darkness, the very turmoil of the world is going to strike such fear in the heart of man, and many…MANY are going to RUN to the House of the Lord!  They are going to stream into the Kingdom of God – the Mountain of the Lord – for refuge – for safety!

And you who have been prepared and already abide there are going to stand as watchmen and gatekeepers welcoming them as they stream – hungry and thirsty – to My altar.  noahs-ark.jpgYou shall open your arms to them and receive and welcome them with joy and with an urgency into the “ark of safety“, for it will be the ONLY true place of safety – the ONLY place of refuge  – the ONLY place of rest that remains. God’s Presence IS the Ark of Safety!

It won’t be “business as usual”.  You won’t be begging and urging and warning others to WAKE UP.  The shear magnitude of the peril will have shaken My people into awareness, and many who presently slumber and sleep spiritually will awake and arise to their feet!  My Glory will fill My Temple. My Light will be a Beacon in the dark hour,and from far and near…they will come…they will come!

Many image bearers have been readied – prepared – equipped – clothed to welcome many and to lead many who are about to awaken within.  It will be supernatural!  It will be Ephesians 3:20 (“abundantly above and beyond all you could ask or think“)!  It will be GLORY in the CHURCH!

You are to keep your eyes on Jesus…and not on the people nor on the dangerous activity or insanity outside in the world.  Let Me take you up higher in preparation to “see as I see”.  For many will come with fear and terror on their heels, and you must welcome them with peace and love – with calm and say to their storm…”Peace, Be still!”

Be about My business.  Focus upon Me.  I will provide.  I will take care of My own in the days to come…just as I did for my own in Egypt in the days of Moses…where, in the darkness that swallowed up Egypt…there was always a LIGHT in Goshen, the land of My people (Exodus 10:21-23)!  This will be so for those of Mine who continually “look unto Me” (Hebrews 12:2) and away from all that would distract (and there will be MUCH to distract).  You will need to focus upon My person to walk in My Light and endure til the end.  Events will hit with such a magnitude, and things will happen so fast that no many can grasp nor remedy it anyway.

Fret not yourself.  Do not fear.  Be anxious for nothing.

The world “system of domination”, as you know it will one day pass away.  Hold not to any of it, for to hold on to it is to be cast away with it.  Let it go, and take My hand.  I am drawing you to Myself…to my “ark of safety“…the place of My Presence.  Rest in My embrace.  My provision, for I am the Prince of Peace…your place of safety!

Do not be “caught up” in what is going on around you.  Prepare to receive those that shall be coming unto Me.  Always reach out with an extended hand to help, but as you help them…point them to ME.  Encourage them in the Spirit.  Be committed to helping them prepare to meet Me.  Show them the way.  Don’t just give people your “experience”…give them JESUS; for He, alone, can save.

During this time, life on earth will not be “as usual”.  Already…it isn’t as it was…not as how you have known it.  Do not fear.  Do not panic.  Do not spend time in over-due grief of unresolved emotions.  Pass through the grief and receive My resolve and My perspective concerning the changes that have come and are to come.  Avoid confusion and double mindedness when the new comes.  Step out in faith…looking only unto Jesus.  Do only what you “see” Me do, and speak only what you “hear” Me say.  Be watching.  Be listening.  I will show you specifics, and I will speak specifics to you. It is crucial in these critical times.  It is necessary.

People must worship Me and turn from idolatry of things, of people, of culture, of money, of power. Idolatry comes when people look to anyone or anything OTHER THAN ME, for they draw something else unto themselves that has no power to help nor change them.   Anything other than Me, or My Word, is death.

The FIRE of GOD must NOT go out on the altar of your heart!  This FIRE of which I speak is one of intensity!  My people must be intentional about a white hot love for Me. striking-a-matchKeep the firewood of sacrifice stacked high upon it. Keep the FIRE fueled with obedience so that it will protect you.  My FIRE will protect you when the fire of the world and hell rages about you.  You shall abide in the center of the flame in this critical hour.  My people MUST come into that place – the white heated hottest part – for ONLY THERE will they be protected from the fire of peril that will rage in the world!

Be not afraid…for lo, I am with you…even til the end of the age!
