5780--The Year of the Mouth and Birthing

Enoch 49:1-3

In those days the saints and the chosen shall undergo a change. The light of day shall rest upon them; and the splendor and glory of the saints shall be changed.  In the day of trouble evil shall be heaped up upon sinners; but the righteous shall triumph in the name of the Lord of spirits.  Others shall be made to see, that they must repent, and forsake the works of their hands; and that glory awaits them in the presence of the Lord of spirits; yet that by His name they may be saved. The Lord will have compassion on them; for great is His mercy; and righteousness is in His judgment, and in the presence of His glory; nor in His judgment shall iniquity stand. He who repents not before Him shall perish.

5780—The Year of the Mouth

Like many of my dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ I was expecting the Rapture to be the next big move of God. Recently, however, God has revealed to me by His Spirit that He will have a great triumph before the end of the Church Age—a Grand Finale where God will show Himself to be The Most High God! Therefore, I am looking forward into the Hebrew year 5780 which recently began with the blowing of trumpets at Rosh Hashanah.

The year 5780 is symbolized by the Hebrew character ‘pey’ which has the numerical value of 80.

Pey means “mouth” and by extension “word”, “expression”, “vocalization”, “speech” and “breath”. hebrew4christians.com

God’s voice is described sounding as a trumpet (Exodus 19:19; 20:18). Almighty God has something to say in this year of 5780 and He will say it through willing vessels who call Jesus Christ their Lord!

As we humble ourselves before Him and say, “Yes, I will,” I believe He will do a work in us. I’m not sure how that will look, but I believe He will either send people to where we are or send us to them. And by send us I mean He might choose to supernaturally translate us (similar to Philip in Acts 8:26-40) in order that we might pull the unsaved out of the fire and bring in the last harvest. 

Both my husband Tom and I (and others we have talked with) have recently been experiencing powerful dreams where we are witnessing to small or large groups of people. I have only had two such dreams, of which only one I remember distinctly. In my dream I was in what looked like a park for there were evergreen trees and picnic tables and I was witnessing to two young people—one was a young teen and the other older, maybe 19 or 20. It is difficult to describe the intensity of how I spoke. It was with conviction and urgency. My words went out like a trumpet call! But the young people walked away not wanting to receive what I had to say at that time. But the Word does not go out void!

Tom has been having this type of dream weekly! He believes that the Spirit of God might have actually transported him so that he could speak Life into specific groups of people!

From Transition to Facing the Dragon

At the beginning of this year I shared my Dance Card dream. The dream was simply of a pretty dance card hanging from a thin clothesline or string. I couldn’t read what it said but just “knew” it was for an event to be held on April 17.

After posting this article on January 28, a Brother in the Lord told me (by leaving a Comment) about Ty Green’s video The Holy Bible, The Rapture and the number 17, which shows the correlation of the number 17 with the Rapture. . . [Get Your Dance Card Ready! excerpt]

The letter Pey is the 17th letter of the Aleph-Bet, having the numeric value of 80. Could this be hinting that we are finally in the year of the Rapture?

Those who are aware that we are in the Season of the Messiah’s Return, know that the Rapture of the Overcoming Church is compared to the birth of a man child as prophesied in Revelation Chapter 12:

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne. - Revelation 12:5 KJV

(For more on who is the “man child” read A Study of the Man Child and Unsealed’s article Major Discovery Concerning Revelation 12.)

It is apparent to me that since the year 5779 represented "a woman who is pregnant with child" we may see the completion of that pregnancy in 5780!

I have shared that I believe the Man Child is in the “transition phase” of his birth. During transition the cervix dilates quickly and could be compared to a mouth opening to allow the baby’s head to be born first. 

In the vagina, the cervix looks like a smooth fleshy O, about an inch or 2.5cm in diameter, with a hole in the middle — similar to puckered lips. [excerpt from helloclue.com]

As the Overcoming Man Child, we are now enduring a time of transitional squeezing or pressure as we enter a time of great darkness. Next will come our journey towards the portal—

. . . and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. Revelation 12:4 KJV

Because Satan knows his time is short (Revelation 12:12), he will first attempt to take us out! As in birth the head is born first, this gives us the picture we will come face to face with the Dragon just before our loving Lord snatches us up to the Throne Room.

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up [harpazo] unto God, and [to] his throne. Revelation 12:5 KJV

Facing the Great Red Dragon

Exactly what ‘facing the Dragon’ will look like, I am not certain. However, just today I was led to watch a Prophetic Word through Maurice Sklar wherein he shares many encouraging things he believes the Lord showed him while in intercession for America. He said that Our Exodus parallels Moses and the children of Israel’s Exodus. 

 
We have witnessed the replaying of most of the plagues that befell Egypt in Moses’ day, so I am wondering—could the 3 days of darkness that have been prophesied represent our coming face to face with the Dragon? It is speculated that Planet X/Nibiru will cause this great darkness that is coming to Earth. Nibiru, with its seven orbiting planets, could represent the “great red dragon” of Revelation 12:3-4 with its “seven heads” and “seven crowns”:

Historians have attributed the Flood of Noah’s day to the crossing of a dwarf star that today is mostly referred to as Planet X or Nibiru; and ancient texts confirm that indeed this Destroyer has come before to terrorize the inhabitants of Earth. . .

…The Greeks called it…”Nemesis”…To the ancient Chinese it was known as “Gung-gung”, “the Great Black” or “Red Dragon”. [Excerpt from The Ark of Escape]

We are in the Days of Noah now, so it is possible we will once again see this Great Red Dragon come close to Earth.

It is my belief that the Revelation Chapter 2 and 3 overcomers are represented by the man child that is caught up to God BEFORE the Dragon devours him. So if the Nibiru system with its fiery red dwarf star and seven planets orbiting it is the Great Red Dragon of Revelation 12, we need not fear:

Jesus Himself describes who the overcoming ones are in the seven letters to the churches in the Book of Revelation’s first three chapters. While studying this, I saw the direct correlation between the overcomers and the man child of Revelation 12:5. [Excerpt from The Ark of Escape]

With Nibiru’s arrival could also come a rise in demonic activity never before witnessed since Noah’s day.

Am I saying we should run and hide in our homes prepared with candles and canned food? NO! Greater is He who is in us than he that is in the world!

Zadok Preparation

We may be guided to do some type of physical preparation; however, what is key is Zadok preparation!

The Zadok company of Ezekiel 44 were given great understanding of ‘the holy and profane’. They received this understanding because they ministered to God. Because they were Old Testatment priests, they physically ministered in the secret place; but as New Testament kings and priests, our ministry comes through the Spirit of God within us! THAT is our preparation!

I believe that is what God meant when He moved on me to prophesy over and over again to each little congregation I have met with over the past 20 years—

“A time of great trouble is coming! Everything that can be shaken will be shaken! Come to Him in your prayer closets faithfully and do not be afraid.”

Epiphany re. Fall 2019

Just a few days ago I realized that this time of the Overcomers changing from glory to glory may be coming to pass very soon! This belief came from what some of the Brethren are sharing and from my re-reading the Great Wave dream the Lord gave me back in 2014:

June 20, 2014--Last night I had a second dream of a great wave. In this dream I was at home meeting with a couple of workmen who were hired to paint and prepare the new home (new to us) we had recently purchased. Although I was at home in the dream, the house did not look like the one we currently live in.

As we walked and talked, a huge wave came over us. We were a bit surprised but not panicked and simply held our breath as it passed over us. Another wave, slightly bigger, was right behind it, so I shouted, "Hold your breath! There's another..." and whoosh it came before I could finish what I was saying.

In 2014 my husband Tom and I had no plans on moving, but in 2019 that changed for we bought a home we are remodeling. The house is currently in the process of being painted both inside and out!

Of course, I do not know for certain if that dream means we are in the time of a catastrophe coming to the East Coast or not. But I want to put out an alert for the end of October or beginning of November that America could possibly begin to fall.

Because of the unsurpassed patience of our God in waiting for the harvest of end time souls, this is why the Rapture has not yet occurred. I believe the Spirit of God will cause His people to rise above this Great Storm that is coming whether it comes this autumn or whenever it comes!

And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. - Revelation 18:23 KJV

America to begin to fall in the Fall?

Jaco Prinsloo of God’s Roadmap to the End Youtube Channel has shared his belief that the Illuminati are signaling for the destruction of Mecca on November 2 (see his video Brexit Predicted 25 Years in Advance - Down to the Day). Instead of the Middle Eastern Mecca; however, could they be signaling the demise of a city known as the marketplace mecca—New York City? 

Many, many Brethren have been shown NYC’s destruction by both fire AND water. It has been revealed to me and others that since the United States must be destroyed for the New World Order to arise, they will use fallen angel technology to bring down our beloved nation.

 

Perhaps the Overcomers will witness the beginning of this Marketplace Mecca’s end, but when things go nuclear—we’re outta here; for "when the missiles come down, we go up!"

We see that everything is aligned for the Ezekiel 38 war and many watchmen believe that the next prophecy to be fulfilled is Isaiah 17:1—the fall of Damascus. This may be true; however, in my spirit I believe the fall of America will be closely linked with Damascus’ demise.

Why? Because no one comes to Israel’s aid when she is attacked by Gog and Magog in the Ezekiel 38 war!

. . . We are not exactly sure when this attack/invasion will take place ... but, from current news headlines, it looks as though it is now getting very close. . .

It is notable that Syria (or its ancient name Aram) is not listed among the Russia-Iran allies. It may be the prophecy concerning the destruction of Damascus will be fulfilled just prior to this invasion.

In Ezekiel 39 the Bible goes on to warn the invading armies will be utterly destroyed ... by GOD! 

. . . The United States will be "neutralized" sometime before this attack and will be unwilling or unable to help defend Israel, for the Bible warns Israel must stand alone ... with God!

More importantly, many good Bible prophecy scholars believe the strange prophetic event called "The Rapture" must take place sometime before God intervenes in this coming battle ...

May God be glorified through Christ in us as we OCCUPY til we fly!

MORE ‘ASCENSION’ SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS AND EARTH!

While reading Comments related to this article (which was also posted at Rev12Daily Blogspot), ShelleyB shared some information from The Big Wobble that got me digging:

A mag 6.5, reduced by USGS to a mag 6.3 near the North Ascension Island, Atlantic Ocean is the 3rd major quake of a very quiet October, which brings the 2019 total to 112, see USGS map below. The earthquake did not generate a tsunami.

We can expect more major seismic activity in the coming days as a massive coronal hole is spewing huge amounts of solar wind toward the Earth's magnetosphere from our sun causing geomatic storms which are known to cause seismic and volcanic activity.

This hole (properly called a "coronal hole") is an old friend. It has been spinning around with the sun for more than 4 months, strobing Earth with solar wind at approximately 26-day intervals.

The first thing to pop up related to childbirth and intervals of 26 was information on prodomal labor:

Typically, the prodromal phase can last anywhere from 24-72 hours, although in some cases it can come and go. [From: internationaldoulainstitute.com]

Prodromal labor is labor that starts and stops before fully active labor begins. It's often called “false labor,” but this is a poor description. ... Prodromal labor is really common and can start days, weeks, or even a month or more before active labor begins. . .

Prodromal labor is often mistaken for Braxton-Hicks contractions, but they’re not the same thing. The majority of pregnant women will experience this type of contraction at some stage during their pregnancy. Braxton-Hicks are essentially practice contractions. They’re your body’s way of preparing for labor.

Braxton-Hicks contractions can cause a very tight, uncomfortable sensation, but they’re not typically regular or intense. They rarely last a long time or grow in intensity. Prodromal labor can follow a very regular pattern. The contractions can vary and grow in intensity.

It’s sometimes possible to ease Braxton-Hicks contractions by drinking water, eating, or relaxing. These activities won’t help ease prodromal labor contractions. Your cervix can also slowly dilate or efface during prodromal labor. This doesn’t usually happen with Braxton-Hicks contractions. [Excerpt from: healthline.com]

To conclude, YES, SHELLEYB! Looks like we are seeing HEAVENLY SIGNS related to PRODOMAL LABOR where the cervix "can also slowly dilate or efface"; in other words, BEGIN OPENING!! A sign that we will soon ASCEND and meet Him in the air! (1 Thessalonians 4:17)

From my above blog article:
"I have shared that I believe the Man Child is in the “transition phase” of his birth. During transition the cervix dilates quickly and could be compared to a mouth opening to allow the baby’s head to be born first."

I have deleted this article because it contained links to sources I do not believe are trustworthy. My apologies if this has caused any confusion--this is why I have a "CAVEAT" in my right margin for "we see through a glass darkly".

Trouble for the Bride Before the Rapture?

Trouble—Pressure

In the movie The Music Man, a con artist is told that there isn’t any trouble in River City, so his reply is, “I’ll have to create some”. This is the plan of the global elite for the world. Their motto is, “Order out of chaos”; and we see the work of their hands in the world today. Their goal is to cause chaos and then introduce the Antichrist onto the world stage as the one to bring order.

Of course, the true God YHWH has all this in His more than capable hands. I believe that He is directing me to encourage the brethren as we see this happen for He will not forsake us in this season or ever! We see the pressure building in the world in all arenas—political and moral divide in our nation, geopolitical confrontations (wars and rumors of wars), and natural and manmade disasters.

What do I mean by manmade disasters? If you have never heard of it before, HAARP has technology said to be used to control the weather and the earth’s seismic activity.  

This is not to instill fear in the Bride, but to remind Her that she is also the Overcoming Church!

No one knows with certainty what kind of trouble the Bride will see before our Heavenly Bridegroom catches us away. We see dimly and only in part as it says in 1 Corinthians 13:12.

We are not appointed to the wrath of the Lamb or the winepress of God’s wrath, but we are not promised to escape the trouble caused by a group of elites who think they control the world.

The Bride Overcomes tribulation

The Bride will endure tribulation with a lower case “t” but is not subject to THE Tribulation with a capital “T”:

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. - John 16:33 KJV

Jesus reminds us that it is in the world that we shall have tribulation BUT that just as He overcame, so shall we! This is why the Bride is also referred to as “he who overcometh” in Revelation Chapters 2 and 3!

Tribulation is another word for “trouble” and “pressure”.

All wrath is Tribulation but not all tribulation is wrath.

(I give credit to the Holy Spirit for this phrase.)

This is why many students of the Bible refer to Daniel Chapter 9’s 70^th Week as THE Tribulation which is composed of the “wrath of the Lamb” (Revelation 6:16) in the first half of the 7 years and the second half (the “great winepress of the wrath of God”—Revelation 14:19) is referred to as The GREAT Tribulation. This is the period of time Jesus is referring to in Matthew 24:21.

Then Luke 21 repeats the events Jesus said would occur prior to His coming again to earth (including “the sea and the waves roaring”) but concludes with:

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. - Luke 21:28 KJV

AND

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. - Luke 21:36 KJV

Overcomers are accounted worthy (read Who are the Tribulation Saints?). Their day of redemption is the harpazo.

The Wave of Glory

People on Youtube have told their stories of being threatened for bringing to light information the globalists wish to remain hidden in darkness. K.J. of the YT Channel The Scariest Movie Ever posted a video on June 8, 2013 about one such person who was arrested for posting warnings on the YT Channel OutrDemnDarknes of a plot to use technology to cause tsunamis in order to destroy both America’s West AND East Coasts!

On November 5, 2017, Todd of IT IS FINISHED warned of a HUGE EARTHQUAKE that is to occur prior to the rapture. He is not the only one to post this, but he is a brother in Christ and a source I trust. Even dutchsinse recently reported on the continued slow slip of the San Andreas fault and how this is what was seen in Japan that resulted in the 9.2 earthquake and tsunami of 2011 which he forecasted two days before it occurred (begin watching his video at ~24:30 minutes)!

As I was pondering all this today, the Spirit reminded me to focus on what He has shown me personally. The only disaster I have been shown is related to tsunamis:

When I first received my great wave dreams I thought it was related to other words being posted on the internet regarding a last days move of God. I now believe that my 'great wave' dreams might be related to the warnings other watchmen have been giving on Youtube of tsunamis to hit both the West and East Coasts of the United States. . .

If what was shown to me is both a spiritual and physical tsunami, it means the great waves will catapult our nation into a glorious revival. [Excerpt from The Sea Roaring]

And to confirm that the Spirit of the Lord is announcing both a spiritual and physical tsunami coming, I received the SEASON OF THE OVERCOMER rhema posted on the anniversary of Japan’s great tsunami.

A prophetic word through Kevin Mirasi came the closest to what I received from the Lord. In the video Tsunami in USA, California Earthquake, Russian Attack and Rapture, he says that he doesn't know whether the rapture is immediately during the tsunami or shortly after. This is very similar to what I reported:

Beloved, HEADS UP! The impression in my spirit is we might see Lk 21:25 (the sea roaring) b4 or at the same time we are raptured. IF it occurs I believe it will be a great wave caused by earthquake, asteroid, or nuclear detonation. I ask for forgiveness ahead of time if I am wrong. But would rather risk this than fail in my watch. I have been wrong b4 but at times I have been hearing right. Seek the Lord about this message, of course... [Excerpt from The Sea Roaring]

There have been numerous prophetic warnings about mega earthquakes and tsunamis to hit the United States. The Bride, however, will not be caught off guard and will continue to receive more and more details of what is coming. Seek the Lord regarding all prophecies and warnings—including mine. And ask for confirmation (Deuteronomy 19:15).

Anyone who has made Jesus Christ the Lord of their life has the Spirit of God dwelling within them (1 Corinthians 3:16) and can hear from God for themselves. He will guide you; and, if necessary, send angelic help your way when a disaster strikes!

You, the Bride, are much beloved by the Messiah! She is His reward (Revelation 22:12)!

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ. - 2 Corinthians 11:2 KJV

Our task, should any disaster strike, is to respond as the Spirit leads bringing Christ’s love and the light of the glorious truth of eternity through Him to those with whom we come in contact.

Caveat: This blog is an attempt to share my spiritual journey and my understanding of the Scriptures. In the past few years that learning curve has been mostly in eschatology or the study of the end times. I do not pretend to have this all figured out. Also, I do not necessarily agree with all the beliefs of anyone whose material I reference. I seek to be led of the Spirit of God as to the sources I use, however, even Spirit-filled Christians only 'see in part' as it says in 1 Corinthians 13:12.

SEASON OF THE OVERCOMER!

Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is] great, but the labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. - Luke 10:2 KJV

Beloved Brethren, today I received one of the most clear and exciting words from the Most High God! It came to me as I worshipped Him on the treadmill. I was listening to a song I had never heard before and was deeply focused on Him. It began with a phrase—"Season of The Overcomer”.

I quickly turned off the machine and jumped down to grab my journal. This is what I heard Him say:

On this day seven years ago a tsunami swept over Japan. Today the Spirit of the Lord is saying NOW is the time for the great tidal wave of My Spirit!

Look to see ME in the chaos!

Look to see ME in the mess!

Look to see ME in My people

As they arise as a great tidal wave of My glory over this land and over this world.

Spoils of Egypt!

Spoils of Egypt!

I will cause My people to take the spoil of souls in the world! This is their last battle before entering the Promised Land—to conquer evil by harvesting souls I have prepared to receive Me in this hour.

So fear not My Beloved!

Fear not the wars!

Fear not the natural disasters

For I am in the midst Dear Ones!

I AM in the midst of the judgment coming upon the world. It is My great mercy to grab a hold of the lost before My great wrath is poured upon the earth.

REJOICE!

REJOICE!

LOOK UP!

LOOK UP!

This is what you have been waiting for!

MY MOVE upon the earth!

Not man’s but MY MOVE!

Rejoice for I am coming for you My Loved Ones.

I am coming in the midst of the mess and pulling you out at My Father’s bidding.

The Great Harvest begins! REJOICE!

Oh no I am NOT finished with the world yet!

My latter rain is NOT finished yet!

I AM THE LATTER RAIN!

And I will flood the earth with My glory through My people before the end.

This movement will have NO NAME attached to it. It will sweep across the world swiftly. It is the SEASON OF THE OVERCOMER!

Does this rhema resonate with your spirit?

It gave me much encouragement for I had recently been seeking the Lord asking, “What’s next?” I wanted to know not just for myself but to edify others.

He’s in the Midst of the Chaos

Some years back I asked the Holy Spirit to shed light on whatever area of my life He wished. In a vision He took me to a day in my childhood that was very fearful and painful for me and my siblings. It was a summer day when we were forced to escape our home and seek safety by going to a familiar hill where we went sledding in the winter. I thought we were alone, but in the vision I saw Jesus was there leading us by the hand up the hill to safety.

He was in the midst of our terror holding our hands! Whatever is ahead in the days to come, we need not fear—only believe!

We are not only in the Season of Miracles, but the Season of The Overcomer! This is HIS time. Remember it was Jesus who was the First to Overcome—He is THE Overcomer!

Judgment

There is no need to fear this time of judgment upon the earth if you have made Jesus Christ your Lord. Judgment is not His wrath. It is a time of assessment that is the precursor to wrath. Judgment is a loving act of mercy intent on bringing people to repentance to avoid the punishment of wrath.

Judgment is like discipline—it’s not fun but it is GOOD and NECESSARY!

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: - For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth. - Proverbs 3:11-12 KJV

Spoils of Egypt--SOULS

Jonathan Cahn spoke recently on the fight that comes before entering the promised land. He reminded us that Moses fought against high powers to free the Israelites from Egypt and Joshua had to fight the giants to take the promised land.

I had been asking the Lord, “What is our last battle?” and in this prophetic word He answered me! It is to conquer evil by gathering in lost souls for Him. He will send them to us in the midst of the chaos and mess of these last days.

The Great Harvest Begins

Today begins Daylight Savings Time in the United States. It was determined that clocks would “spring forward” one hour this time of year to allow farmers to take advantage of the daylight. Let us take advantage while the daylight is still here!

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. - John 9:4 KJV

In the past I, and many others, were shown this great harvest of souls in the last days. I now believe this will occur before our Heavenly Bridegroom comes to sweep us Home.

At some point in the midst of the turbulent times we live in, after He has swiftly moved upon people to bring them into salvation, Jesus will snatch His Bride up. I believe we will see MORE AND GREATER WAR, MORE AND GREATER EARTHQUAKES, more and greater whatever because God is mercifully going to get people’s attention that HE IS GOD!

Hope has a Name!

The song I was listening to (for the first time) when I received the above rhema, was Love Has a Name by Jesus Culture.

I realized after writing down the prophetic word, that the lyrics of the song matched this message. Some of these lyrics are:

Love has a name—Jesus.

Joy has a name—Jesus.

Victory has a name—Jesus.

Hope has a name—Jesus.

Because of the Father’s great LOVE for the people in the world, He sent His only begotten son, Jesus. Whoever believes on Jesus—makes Him the Lord of their life—receives the JOY of eternity. We are in the season where The Overcomer will VICTORIOUSLY move to claim a great harvest of souls. He will then snatch away His prize for He is our Blessed HOPE—JESUS!

Who are the Tribulation Saints?

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John: Blessed [is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of

 of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time [is] at hand. - Revelation 1:1, 3 KJV

Church Members Left Behind?

In Jesus’ letter to the seven churches He explains that there are those in churches who are worthy to escape and those who are not! Those who are worthy are described as overcomers.

How can it be that there are individuals in a church that will not be raptured? It is my belief that there are many, many people that call themselves Christians but who have NOT made Jesus Christ the Lord of their life. I know because I was one of them. I had been raised in church and even loved the Lord Jesus. But here’s the crux of the matter—it wasn’t until I was 23 years old that I confessed with my mouth that I wanted to live my life for Jesus Christ.

Do you see the difference?

You are not to be the lord and master over your own life—you must make Jesus the Lord over your life so that the Holy Spirit may enter and seal you!

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. - Romans 10:9-10 KJV

You may be part of a church/ekklesia/assembly but not necessarily bound for Heaven! Those who wait to confess Jesus as their Lord after the Rapture will be the saints who will endure the Tribulation as recorded in the Book of Revelation:

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. - Revelation 13:7 KJV

Who are the Overcomers?

So who are these overcomers? They are individuals who have confessed from their heart Romans 10:9 and have incorruptible seed within them:

For whatsoever is born [gennaō]  of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith. - 1 John 5:4 KJV

Being born again [anagennaō], not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. - 1 Peter 1:23 KJV

Who is Worthy?

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. - Luke 21:36 KJV

In a recent video by RAPTURE WATCHERS it is explained how true believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. - Ephesians 4:30 KJV

The incorruptible seed of 1 Peter 1:23 is the Spirit of God within the believer—it is Christ in you the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).

It is because of the gift of the Holy Spirit within us that we are worthy to escape. Only the Holy Spirit makes us overcomers!

Seven times Christ warns the seven churches. But He also makes seven promises to those who overcome:

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh…

~ will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. - Revelation 2:7 KJV

~ shall not be hurt of the second death. - Revelation 2:11 KJV

~ will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it]. - Revelation 2:17 KJV

~ and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: - Revelation 2:26 KJV

~ the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. - Revelation 3:5 KJV

~ will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name. - Revelation 3:12 KJV

~ will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. - Revelation 3:21 KJV

Redemption Day=Escape!

Either Jesus is lying in Luke 21:36 or there is an escape from what is referred to as the Tribulation.

There are strong scriptural inferences that the Rapture will occur before the Tribulation begins. A couple of those are found in Jesus’ Olivet Discourse as recorded in Luke 21. Jesus stated that when the end time signs “begin to take place,” we are to look up, for our redemption will be drawing near (Luke 21:28). Note that the redemption will come not at the end of the signs, but as they begin to take place. Jesus then added that believers should pray earnestly that they might “escape” the great tribulation that is coming upon “all those who dwell on the face of the earth” (Luke 21:36).christinprophecy.org

Thy dead [men] shall live, [together with] my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew [is as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. - Isaiah 26:19 KJV

This, of course, speaks of resurrection. Notice the phrase “together with my dead body shall they arise”—this reminded me of how Christ as the Head of the Body has already arisen but one day the “dead in Christ” (His Body) will arise! Remember Lot's Wife

The day of our redemption is our escape day via the harpazo.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up [harpazō] together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. - 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 KJV

Those who wait to confess Jesus as their Lord after the Rapture will have missed the greatest escape of all times, but Jesus in the Book of Revelation promises that “he that overcometh” does escape! 

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. - Revelation 3:10 KJV

The words "keep" and "from" are translated from the Greek words tēreō ek. According to The Master's Seminary Journal, page 222 of the PDF:

Thayer says that when this verb [tēreō] is used with en it means “to cause one to persevere or stand firm in a thing”; while when it is used with ek it means “by guarding to cause one to escape in safety out of.” Since ek is used here it would indicate that John is promising a removal from the sphere of testing, not a preservation through it. This is further substantiated by the use of the words “the hour.” God is not only guarding from the trials but from the very hour itself when these trials will come on those earth dwellers. (To understand verses that promise an escape read Saved From Wrath.)

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. - 1 Thessalonians 5:3 KJV

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. - 1 Thessalonians 5:4 KJV

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,  

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. - 1 Thessalonians 5:9,11 KJV

Caveat: I do not necessarily agree with all the beliefs of anyone whose material I reference. I seek to be led of the Spirit of God as to the sources I use, however, even Spirit-filled Christians only 'see in part' as it says in 1 Corinthians 13:12.
