Prophetic Poem for 2016

Back at the end of December 2015 as I worshiped the Father through His Son, I was given a poem:

The days ahead will be full of dread
But I tell you--have no fear

Mountains will shake and the earth will quake
But I tell you--have no fear

Many losses shall appear
But many gains to hold dear
Touch nothing that is impure
See nothing that is evil
Taste nothing that is poison
I will guide you and hold you near

Seek My face continually
Keep prayers upon your lips
And I assure you, My love,
From Heaven you will sip

Taste only good things
Hear only good things
And you will see Good

Be kind to others
With My Love be smothered
And reek to High Heaven with Love

No other name than Jesus
Proclaim Him for He is
The highest of all sons

Keep faithful to Him in all things
He is Lord and King
For the victory is ours--
WE HAVE WON!


Several scriptures came to mind as I re-read this poem after writing it in my journal that day: Philippians 4:8; Psalm 34:8-19; Ephesians 3:1-19 and Ephesians 5:1-2.

Not only are these words of exhortation to think on good things, but they are His words of promise to allow us to sip from Heaven in the midst of turmoil!

More Encouragement

During this Passover Week the Spirit reminded me of this poem He had given me and said, "You will walk through fires and be unharmed. You will climb mountains and have the strength. You shall run and not be weary." 

I knew this did not necessarily mean literal fires and mountains (although it very well could), but was more likely referring to fiery trials and circumstances appearing as impassable mountains before me. 

At this writing many of the brethren have received words, dreams, or visions of warning of impending dangers both natural and man-made and I know that no one will be untouched for these things to befall us will be worldwide. In my bowels surged a familiar dichotomous emotion. It was the agony of knowing I must endure to the end mixed with the joy of His very soon Glorious Appearing in the Clouds.

Truly we are living in the Best of Times &
the Worst of Times~

Will Homosexuals Enter Heaven?

My friend Sharon and I were discussing what 1 Corinthians 6 meant. We agreed that truly ANYONE--no matter how far they strayed off the straight and narrow--ANYONE may be saved, born again and headed for Heaven (John 3:3; 1 Peter 1:23; Romans 10:9).  So what did Paul mean when he wrote:


Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate [malakos], nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 

Paul himself was guilty of murder in the past before accepting Y'shua as the Messiah (see Acts Chapter 7 and 8 when he was called Saul)!

The key is to turn away from the sin of our past:


And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 1 Corinthians 6:11-13



So what if a person does not turn away from the sin? If a homosexual continues in that lifestyle is that person saved? I agree with commentators who believe that only God Himself can judge if a person has truly been 'washed' and baptized with the Holy Spirit.

"Washed" precedes both, and so must refer to the Christian's outward new birth of water, the sign of the inward setting apart to the Lord by the inspiration of the Spirit as the seed of new life ( Jhn 3:5 Eph 5:26 Tts 3:5 Hbr 10:22 ). Paul (compare the Church of England Baptismal Service), in charity, and faith in the ideal of the Church, presumes that baptism realizes its original design, and that those outwardly baptized inwardly enter into vital communion with Christ ( Gal 3:27 ). He presents the grand ideal which those alone realized in whom the inward and the outward baptism coalesced. At the same time he recognizes the fact that this in many cases does not hold good ( 1Cr 6:8-10 ), leaving it to God to decide who are the really "washed," while he only decides on broad general principles.

Next Paul exhorts those who believe on Christ to not forfeit their liberty by coming under the power of anyone or anything else!

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

The "power" ought to be in the hands of the believer, not in the things which he uses [BENGEL]; else his liberty is forfeited; he ceases to be his own master ( Jhn 8:34-36 Gal 5:13 1Pe 2:16 2Pe 2:19 ). Unlawful things ruin thousands; "lawful" things (unlawfully used), ten thousands. Blue Letter Bible 

The Spirit of Christ that dwells within those of us who have made Him their Lord empowers us to be overcomers (1 John 4:2-4)! There is much more, of course, that can be said of this. Life in this world is not easy. But life in the Holy Spirit causes us to supersede this world!


In this brief video Miriam Alexander shares her amazing story of how through her sincere relationship with God even during her time of lesbianism and using drugs she was powerfully delivered from it all!

The Bowl of Glory

Today as I meditated on my Lord and sought how to please Him, I believe He encouraged me to seek His face especially in the next three days as there were things He wished to tell me. As I thought on this, I believe He already began to reveal something to me.

"You see the excitement surrounding the Super Bowl. This is a sign of what the world will behold of MY Super Bowl. Starting in the Bible Belt I will pour out My Spirit like never before and there will be great signs and wonders. Be ready for I have called all who have yearned for this day to be a part of what I am doing in these last days. Look up! Look up! For your salvation draws nigh! I am the Lord your God and I shall have no other before me."

Then I was shown the significance of the 50th Super Bowl this year involving the East (Carolina Panthers), the West (San Francisco Stadium), and the Central United States (Denver Broncos). How the Spirit of God will pour out from East to West--HALLELU-YAH!

The 50th anniversary is signified by gold just as God's glory is symbolized by gold. The Carolinas, as represented by the Panthers football team, are considered part of the Bible Belt. Although I have lived longer in the Southeastern United States than my birth region of the Northeast, I was not aware until recently how the Southeast obtained the name of 'The Bible Belt'. It has obscure origins, but basically resulted due to the Second Great Awakening. 

The Second Great Awakening was a religious revival that occurred in the United States beginning in the late eighteenth century and lasting until the middle of the nineteenth century. While it occurred in all parts of the United States, it was especially strong in the Northeast and the Midwest.^{[10] Wikipedia}

The part of the country frequently referred to as the Bible Belt is the area that was influenced most powerfully by evangelical campaigns in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Ask Historians

Just as the glorious winds of the Spirit blew through the Northeast and down the Appalachian Region into the South and blew across the entire United States to Azusa Street, California, so will these winds blow again!

And again I cry, HALLELU-YAH!
 
As I was getting ready to post this, I did an internet search on the Azusa Street Revival and stumbled upon what I believe are two significant 2016 events:

Remember God is in Control--Including the Devil!

Recently I watched on youtube.com a video of David Wilkerson speaking in 1973 of the end times vision he received of the Lord. Below is the video starting at about the 37 minute mark. I wanted to share it with you because of the comfort, encouragement, and exhortation it provides simply by us realizing that GOD IS IN CONTROL!

What this means is that the true God YHWH limits what evil men or even the devil are allowed to do. To watch this 52-minute video from the beginning, simply click here

David Wilkerson is a man of God who is no longer with us but one whom I respect as having been a true lover and disciple of Jesus our Y'shua.





Starting at about the 40 minute mark, here is an excerpt of this message:

God has everything under control! Even the devil is under His control!

As with Job, he may touch every physical thing around you, but you hear this--satan cannot possess you or rob you of your faith in God! The devil's power is limited and even a baby Christian can put him to flight!

Resist the devil and he will flee! [James 4:7]

And God's message is this, "I have not given you the spirit of fear but of love and power and a sound mind." [2 Timothy 1:7] No matter how things look, all things are still working together according to God's purpose.

Let the dollar fail, let there be unemployment and pollution and inflation and wars and rumors of war. Let the fabric of society disintegrate. For the true child of God EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL. IT DOESN'T MATTER. NOTHING CAN HARM YOU. LOOK UP AND REJOICE AND BE HAPPY!

The future is in His control. He knows exactly when Christ will return...The nations are but a drop in the bucket. Don't worry about worldly powers. I'VE GOT IT ALL PROGRAMMED!

God is still counting the hairs on your head. He still counts the sparrows that fall...He still answers before He is called. He has given abundantly above what we could ask or think, so saints of God wake up! He's still saving and healing... So you can go to bed tonight and say, "God has everything under control."

Either Way--We are Going Home!

Bride Dress Blowing Over Jerusalem at David's Tower

As I shared in my previous blog, I have been seeking to understand the times we are in and how it relates to the Word of the true God for I was taught that the Bride of Christ would be caught away prior to the Great Tribulation. 

I simply want to go on the record again that I do not claim to know the exact timing of the catching away or rapture. Perry Stone points out some compelling scriptural evidence for the pre-tribulation rapture, however, in this 28-minute video [778 Perry Stone]:






I appreciated Perry mentioning that this does not mean we will not endure trouble or persecution in our lifetime. After all, Y'shua, our Jesus, said, "In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. - John 16:33b KJV

Praise Yah, no matter which theory is correct--we are going home soon!

P.S. If you go to the original Youtube page for the above video at 778 Perry Stone, in the Comments section it reads: "Something else to point out, the groom (Jesus) comes for His bride Himself (rapture)...THEN (after the tribulation), He sends angels to gather His elect (those left behind who survived the trib). In Jewish culture, it's the GROOM who comes for the bride and the bride only, not the wedding party or guests.

About a week after watching the above video, I found an even better one by Perry Stone-- 3 PART HARVEST OF SOULS 15 min.  With the use of a chart in 15 minutes he very clearly outlines how there are 3 harvests or gathering of saints! This is the best information I have found to date.
