Last Chapter of My Life?

Today as I spent time before the Lord, I found myself in a place of great thankfulness. His care of me and mine caused tears of gratefulness to well up in my eyes.  

 

My family jokingly tells people we live in a Hobbit Hole, but in truth the Lord Jesus Christ has spiritually positioned us in a hidden place likened to being in the safety of the palm of His hand.  Whether you live in a Hobbit Hole or apartment or wherever—if you belong to Him, He has you in the palm of His hand; and from that place of protection, He will launch you into the world wherever He needs you to go. I'm not sure exactly how that will play out in the days ahead; I just know it's the truth. This is His promise to all who trust in Him and have given their life over to His will.

 

I believe the day of a Great Awakening will come as the world trembles in transition like a woman in labor and He will empower us to be His Mighty Overcoming Army and that those who are now sick will no longer be ill as I posted in It is Time—A Word for the ‘Dawn Treaders’.

Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. - Isaiah 41:10 KJV

Years ago I began writing a novel based on true events where historical fiction meets visionary nonfiction. My husband affectionately has referred to it as my Lord of the Rings and is probably where my family got the idea to call our most recent home (which is built into a hill) the Hobbit Hole. After moving into our Hobbit house, my writing focused on what the Lord was revealing to me about the coming Great Shaking and my time was absorbed in self-sufficient living and helping raise my granddaughter. I felt as though I did not have time to concentrate on finishing the book and now feel some regret as a result. As I mulled on that thought this morning, I heard in my spirit, "You are living the last chapter of your book, Lyn."  

 

Along with many of you, dear friends, I have been expecting the Resurrection/ Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) for at least a decade now; so it may seem foolish to some to say I have such high hopes for it taking place in 2026. Yet, that is my perspective today. I don’t believe I am the only one living the last chapter—I believe it is possible all who are in Christ are now living that last chapter in the Book of Life.

I know there are others like me and my husband Tom who have lived for the Lord Jesus Christ all their adult life and have endured intense trials--not only in simply living life but especially within church life. Beloved ones, He has NOT forgotten you! He has prepared you! This is our hour! As our Sister in Christ at Appalachia's Homestead with Patara says--"WE ARE THE LAST FRONTIER"!

 

We are the Dawn Treaders—those carrying the Light being sent into the Darkness. In fact, I urge you to re-read It is Time—A Word for the ‘Dawn Treaders’ for it will encourage you! Here’s some quotes from it that blessed me today:

. . God wants a church that has been in hiding and prepared for power by severe testing, severe trial, severe tribulation in every single season and they feel like they are not going to be used and it is too late and it is all over. That is the company that is prepared for power. 

. . . They have had to learn to glean from the word when they were just getting little pious platitudes from preachers all around the country. They are being weaned away from everything that is contradictory to the powerful truth of the word of God. That company is coming out of hiding. They are going to cross Jordan. They are going to move into a manifestation of power where there will not just be power on one or two, but there is going to be power on multiplied thousands and thousands. [From Billy Graham’s death marks “beginning of the greatest revival” by James Bailey.]

 

“My Church Will Rise From the Ashes!”

The Lord is faithful to give us a Word in due season, and He showed me just what I needed to know. Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would lead us into all truth and show us things to come (John 16:13). This vision revealed to me that great shaking and destruction are coming, and the Church will still be here – at least for the beginning of it. To be totally honest, once the full impact of what I saw hit me, I felt I was about to have a panic attack as fear began to rise within. I knew things were coming to America that we’d never experienced before. I felt like I wanted to run, but there’s nowhere to hide from what’s coming. Then God began to remind me of His promises and His great mercy toward us. 

This great shaking will be what actually awakens the sleeping Church. The awakened Church will rise from the ashes, and it’s then that the works of Jesus will be done as never before seen on this planet. . .  [excerpt from Diana Pulliam’s “My Church Will Rise From the Ashes!” posted November 3, 2015]

 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. - John 14:12 KJV
