The Aftermath

 The Aftermath, After We did the Math

As you know, we who were believing for a Feast of Trumpets Rapture are  now left feeling dejected.  The number of believers around the globe all professing they got confirmation that the LORD was coming for His bride on that specific Holy Feast day for Israel was staggering.  I was among them, praying constantly over whether or not to share.   It breaks my heart to see those who just love Jesus with all their heart so broken and feeling let down.  God doesn't let us down.  We allow ourselves (unwittingly) to get swept up in the hype.  God is God.  He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.  He doesn't change.  In fact nothing has changed.  

    * We are still saved

    * God is still on the throne

    * He still loves us

    * Jesus is still coming

Jesus IS still coming - in HIS appointed time.  As humans, we try to understand God and in doing so, we apply our earthly understanding to the things of God.  1 Corinthians 2:16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ."  Speaking only for myself, so many times in error, I've put God in a "box" so to speak.  When really I only need to trust Him, take Him at His word and wait on Him for the answer.  The Rapture did not happen as we all anticipated, but it doesn't negate the fact that Jesus could come at any moment.  I want encourage the watching community to do what they have always been doing, watching.  We are told to do just that in Matthew 24:42 "Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming".  What was meant to be an exciting time in our time, turned out to be a lesson in humility.  My hope and prayer is twofold.  I'm praying that:

    * Those who didn't previously know Jesus, turned to Him and were           saved and are now part of the body of Christ.

    * Those who knew Jesus but perhaps were complacent in sin, woke           up, repented, and turned back to Him.

I pray that God uses this for His glory and many were added to the family of God.  We know the hour is drawing close, just how close is the great mystery.  Lets lift each other up and strengthen the body of Christ.  Now is not the time to let the enemy use this disappointment to cause division in the Church.  The King is still coming.  Let's finish this race well!  

WEDDING: SAVE THE DATE

WEDDING:  SAVE THE DATE

 I recently saw this VIDEO.  It worth a look.  This man Joshua Mhlakea speaks about the rapture at the Feast of Trumpets.  Every year people predict the rapture on the Feast of Trumpets and every year that date comes and goes, so I always shy away from any and all predictions about when the Lord is going to come back for His bride.  He has His appointed time and it will happen when it happens.  There was something different about this video.  Joshua was very compelling and I wanted to believe him.  After all the signs of the times we are living in are all around us.  Not one sign that Jesus told us to watch for is missing, and they all seem to be intensifying all at once.  It's as if a wave hits and then another and another.  I can barely catch my breath.

I was praying about Joshua's message because in Matthew 24:36, it says that no man knows the day or hour, not the Son, nor the angels, but the Father himself knows.  So I wanted to make sure I wasn't putting false hope where it didn't need to be. 

That's when God impressed upon my heart Deuteronomy 19:15 which says "One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established."  He said by two or more witnesses THE MATTER SHALL BE ESTABLISHED!  

Then I came across another "witness" who was saying the same thing as Joshua, only in a different way.  Dr. Barry Awe  applied scripture to confirm Joshua's testimony.

Then today I saw yet another confirmation VIDEO.  And there are many others.

I was reminded of how in Amos 3:7 which says "Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets."  

* God did not flood the earth without first declaring his plans to Noah (Genesis 6:13) 

* He did not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah without first announcing it to Abraham (Genesis 18)

* The sons of the prophets at Jerico anounced to Elisha that his master Elijah was going to be taken up to heaven (2 Kings 5:-6)

* He did not destroy Nineveh without sending Jonah (Jonah 3:4).  Thankfully at that time they believed the word of the Lord, repented of their sin, and were spared.  

*He announced the birth of the Messiah (Luke 2:8-10)

* Johan the Baptist went before Jesus baptizing people and preaching repentance for the Messiah was coming (John1:26-28)

God is showing us a pattern of how He operates.  He never does anything without first warning His people.  How much more then will He announce to us (the Bride of Christ) that our Bridegroom cometh?  We know that it is not God's desire that any should perish but come to repentance and salvation through Christ (2 Peter 3:9).  

In the parable of the ten virgins, they all fell sleep until they heart the midnight cry that the Bridegroom was coming.  (Matthew 25:6)  All of the virgins representing the church today fell asleep waiting for Jesus to return and went back to carrying on with their lives.  BUT...A cry rang out and woke them up.  This is THAT cry.  Our Savior is coming.  Time to wake up, check our hearts, forgive where we need to forgive, repent of our sins, and pray that we may be found worthy to escape HIS wrath (Luke 21:36).

God grant you His peace and wisdom in such a time as this.  We've got a wedding to go to Ya'll!

       Gone In the Blink of An Eye - A Memorial to those Who Walk in Eternity

I want to take this time and honor those who have fallen on 9-11 back in 2001.  We are told that time heals all wounds but it really doesn't.  It makes them less sharp and raw but they remain in our hearts forever.  God bless those firefighters and first responders who rushed in to save those in need.  God bless the families that were torn apart in an instant.  Husbands and wives, children and parents.  The world changed that day.  It changed again yesterday with the killing of Charlie Kirk.  I didn't know him but I knew of him.  He was spoken of very highly as a man of true conviction, always honoring the word of God.  In the blink of an eye he is now not among us but with the Lord.  We walk around with the false notion that we have more time than we do.  Charlie was 31.  My own children are older than he.  It is important for us to make good use of the time God has granted us and to check our hearts against His word, always making sure that we are walking with Jesus.  Not one of those souls thought to themselves when they woke up that morning.  "I think today is going to be my last day on Earth".  None of us knows the moment that we go home.  Not one of us knows if we will go in the Rapture or God will call us home early.  

Make the most of the time you have.  Love your family and friends, share the gospel with them.  It could your last day on earth, or it could be theirs.  

God be with you all.   Jesus come soon!  

WE FLY SOON!

               We Fly Soon!

There has been such a Rapture frenzy lately with believers in Christ looking at this Feast of Trumpets on which the UN is meeting at their 80th General Assembly, and is said to be discussing the issues in the middle east between Israel and Palestine as found HERE.  It looks like this will take place on Tuesday September 17, 2025 according to their schedule.  Many are speculating that this will be the Daniel 9:27 Prophecy spoken about in the Old Testament.  We will have to wait and see what the outcome is. We are told in 1 Thessalonians 5:3 that when they say "peace and safety" or "peace and security" , whichever you prefer, then sudden destruction comes upon them.  Note, that it says "they" and "them", not "we" and "us".  We are not appointed to God's wrath.  Yes, we experience very intense sorrow and pain on earth now, however, that is nothing compared to God's wrath, which is yet to come.  That happens AFTER we are taken up to be with Jesus.  So if we see signs now of the coming tribulation, how much nearer is our redemption.

With the knowledge that we are the final generation, the one's to see Israel (the fig tree) come to life as a nation again (1948), then we will also see the end of all things spoken of in God's word.  We should rejoice that God chose us to live in such amazing times, that we will witness the events that the disciple's longed to see. 

Some days I'm so overwhelmed and burdened that I feel like I've completely gone off a cliff and I'm clinging to life by my fingernails.  That just makes me long for Jesus's coming even more, so I've been asking God to confirm in my heart that He is coming back soon and to give me hope and encouragement for these last moments in history that I would make it to the rapture, cross that finish line, and hear "well done good and faithful servant".  This morning I woke at 7:20 am (my usual time) and before I could form a thought in my head, I felt God speak to my heart saying "Day of Redemption".  I instantly knew that was God answering my prayer as it gave me encouragement.  I'm not proclaiming any date, only that it is very near.  He is at the door.  We are on the verge of eternity.  We are about to be caught up to meet Jesus and our loved ones in Christ in the Air.  I can't wait.  We fly soon!

Maranatha, Lord Jesus Come!
