Dear Reader

25 Apr 2025

Dear reader, I had a wow moment!!! With all the converging of endtime signs, that the master planner has laid out in his word, and foretold by the holy prophets and apostles, I can say with assurance the Lord Jesus is coming soon.

Just a few highlines first. “Assassination Culture: Half of the left-leaning Americans say assassinating, Trump, and Musk is justified.” “Trump has offered Russia and Ukraine “final offer” for peace requires Ukraine to accept Russian occupation.” At present Zelenskyy is unwilling to surrender Crimea. Now to the Wow moment …The Pope died on Monday the 4-21. Four means world and 21 means sin in bible numerics. Now what was a wow to me, was this is 42 days before the Arab Nations are to meet on June 2-4.
These Arab nations are to meet to iron out a peace deal 7, to 10 years, and Egypt now saying 5 years. We know with surety that it will be 7 years according to Dan.9:27. Now here’s the wow, Dr. Frank Abram who won over 1 1/2 million Christians to Jesus, preaching in 127 counties … Studied out for 1 1/2 years and told us around 19 years ago the Pope would be the false prophet, Rev.17:3 who would be riding in on the beast (antichrist) back.

Here’s the wow, the Pope died on Monday, making it 42 days before the Arab nations meet. 42 in Bible Numerics means “Going Home”. Now that may not mean nothing, to some and even laughed at, by those scoffers who are saying 2Pet.3:3-4 “Where is the promise of his coming.” Well, His promised signs are everywhere, and Jesus said, not me Luk.21:25-28 “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

Well, I can’t believe for you, but it sure does look like, the lovely Lord is sending a message to his remnant bride, that we are going home very soon. This glorious event is not, hid to the church, but to them that are lost. Play around if you choose and enjoy your pleasures in this world a little longer, they will soon be over, and the only thing that will have eternal valve, will be Matt.24:45-51 that one is found to be a faithful servant, Or will you be found to be and evil servant. I am blown away, with all these signs converging at one time, and so few see that the last call is being given before the door shuts to the church age. If you are complacent, and not committed, I sure would pray, pray, pray. It’s almost over and Matt.25;10 says those who are ready will go into the marriage and the door will be shut. Noah’s day sent us all a message, don’t be on the outside when the door is shut.
Maranatha!!!!!

Have You Counted The Cost?

12 Apr 2025

Have you counted the cost, to follow Jesus. Matt.10:37-38 says “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.”
Paul exhorts us in 2Cor.13:5 to “Examine yourselves (not everybody else) whether ye be in the faith: prove you own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus is in you, expect ye be reprobates.” (rejected) Oh, Lord don’t let me preach to others and like Paul said in 1Cor.9:27 and “…I myself should be a castaway.” (Be disqualified for the prize).

Seeing all the converging of the signs, (Luke 21:25-28) Jesus exhorted his obedient children to look up, for our redemption draweth nigh. I believe it is near, even at the door.”Marcon says France could recognize a Palestine State in June.” Interesting, this is the same month the Arab Nations are meeting, June 2-4 to work out a peace agreement.

This one is the most interesting of all “Saudi Arabia has banned all public displays of support for Palestine, Prince Mohammed bin Salmon. The Palestine cause is not my cause. I only care about my county and the people of my county. We will not waste time with radicalism. We will modernize rapidly.”

Something has changed from just a few months ago, from calling for a Palestine State. My prayer is if you’re lost, among the lukewarm, with one foot in the world and one in the church, that you’ll shake yourself before the door (Rev.4:1) is shut to the church age. For without a doubt, Jesus is coming any day now. Maranatha!!!!!

Brother Hamilton’s Vision May Soon Come To Pass

03 Apr 2025
Off

It’s sure looking like Brother Hamilton’s vision, he saw over 40 years ago after fasting twelve weeks, three days a week, may soon be coming to pass, by the latest headlines. “Russia warns of ‘Catastrophic’ consequences if US strikes Iran. Powder Keg Europe: In first Foreign Deployment since WWII Germany to station 5,000 troops in Lithuania as latest escalation against Russian Threat.”

In a vision Bro. JD Collins saw on the 12th week of fasting; the Lord showed him the Rapture of the church. That at the same time the bombs were coming the Rapture of the church took place.

I know that the most within the church world, will take little heed to the approaching of the four horsemen of Rev.6 and the opening of the seals, when God’s wrath will be poured out upon this godless society. 2 Peter 3:3-9 says “…scoffers walking after their own lusts. And saying, where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep? (Whom as Peter said in 1:20-21 “…spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” would say) all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. For this they willingly are (deliberately choose) ignorant of…the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, (of returning in the clouds to gather his beloved bride, who has been watching for his return, Heb.9:28, Luk.21:36) as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

God’s week of time of 6 days or 6000 years is almost over. This was understood by the early church fathers. Irenaeus, who well remembered the oral discourses of Polycarp, who was a disciple of the Apostle John the Revelator said “For in as many days as this world was made, in so many thousand years will it be concluded”

The early church fathers understood that God has allotted man 6000 years and the 7 day, the Lord’s Day will be a glorious 1000-year millennial reign with his beloved bride, making up this week of time. Oh, what a time to be living in, when those who are looking for Him will be caught up (1Thess.4:13-18) to meet their Lord in the air. All those who are lukewarm, (Rev.3:16) he will spue out of his mouth. All the foolish virgins (Matt.25:10) who failed to maintain the oil supply within their vessels, will run to the church in which they did not think they needed to be committed to, and then to return to find that the door was shut, left behind to face the horrible tribulation. As my friend JD Collins said according to Rev.17:6 that the river will run deep again, with the blood of the martyred saints.
After repenting of their lukewarmness and whatever other (Heb.12:1) weights and sins they had failed to lay aside, who had refused to deny themself and take up the cross daily, will now be willing to have their heads cut off. (Rev.20:4)

Oh, if only they had taken the Lord’s warning seriously, but like Israel their unbelief (Heb.3:19) that keep Israel out of the promise land, will keep them from going in the Rapture. You may say, I don’t believe that God is that kind of God, and he’ll take me just like I am. Yes, he will now, but those who have truly come, in godly sorrow and repentance and received Him as the Lord of their life, He has never left them the same way they came. If you profess to be a Christian and have not been changed, then I make no mince of words, you are in the gall of bitterness and iniquity.

As A W Tozer said, “The Holy Spirit does not come into your life and let you continue to live like that world.” Don’t be fooled by those hireling’s who tell you that you can just receive the gift of pardon, without turning from your sins. If I were you, I’d read the absolute Word of God and see, that the soul that continues on in and practices sin (1Joh.3:8) is of the devil. You have a choice to believe what God has said, or to believe in what man has said. God the Father is not going to give a spotted up, wrinkled up, blemished bride to his beloved Son.

2 Tim2:19 says “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

We all have a choice, it is Jesus or the world my friend, which have you chosen. With these latest threats, the bombs could be falling soon, and I would want to be sure, I had enough oil in my vessel. If you have made a start for God, go on and be sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost. Don’t use the excuse as one hireling preacher told me one day, “Well everybody does it” No everybody don’t, keep on sinning. Yes, you are still in this flesh and if you give into the temptations, you can still sin. But if you will do like the Word of God says, you can (James 4:6) “Submit yourself to God, Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

You have a choice (Rom.6:16) “that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness.”

My prayer for you today is that you make the right choice today, whom you will serve. Maranatha!!!!!

This Song Comes To Mind With Recent News & Events

31 Mar 2025
Off

This Song comes to mind, with the news and events this week. “I wish we’d all been ready; there’s no time to change your mind the Son (Jesus Christ) has come, and you’ve been left behind.” “Trump says Iran faces ‘bad, bad things if it doesn’t reach nuclear deal. There will be bombing like they have never seen before.” He has given them two-month, deadline. Iran speaker responded warning Trump against attack saying, “Middle East will blow up like a spark.” I got a strong feeling this is more than just talk. Trump has sent at least five and one I read from 7, of our B-2 bombers to the island of Diego Garcia. According to Micheal Synder just five of them can “carry an astounding 125 Tonnes of bombs.” Now if nothing is about to happen then why has the EU “ordered All citizens to ready themselves with WW3 survival kits as Nato warns Putin, he’ll face devastating revenger if he attacks Europe. EU also calls for households to stockpile 72 hours of food amid war issues, in dealing with increased threats including Russian aggression.” Well, you can call me an alarmist, a broken record, or as one in my own family, told me, 10 years ago, who said “you’ve been saying the Lord was coming for 30 years, which was true, and it makes it 40t years now. You see I’d be untruthful if I said it didn’t hurt, but I also know what the word says in Ezekiel chapter 3, 18, and 33 that God had made him a watchman, and if he did not cry aloud and “warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.” On the other hand, if he warns the wicked and he turn not from his wicked way, and he die in his iniquity; thou hast delivered thy soul.
Jesus is coming, and only those who ready will go into the marriage and the door will be shut. Think what you will, but God the Father, is not giving to his beloved Son, a spotted, wrinkled up, blemish bride to rule and reign with Him. Don’t fool yourself, by comparing yourself, with a professing Christian, who has not denied themself and taken up the cross to follow Jesus. My friend to be a Christian is more than a profession, you become God’s property. 1Cor.6:19 says you are no longer your own. With these latest happenings, it’s time you quit playing church, being in and out, before you find yourself in the tribulation period. I may end up becoming someone’s enemy for telling you the truth here in closing, but your blood will not be on my hand. The grace of God, is not a free ticket for you to live your life, doing that which is right in your own eyes. For all those who have made the choice Heb.10:28 to become a deserter of the house of God, and can live without the rest of the body of Christ, that’s your choice, but I need the other parts of the body.
It’s time you quit blaming everybody else, and look in the mirror and like Isaiah and say “Wow is me…” Take responsibility for the lack of the fruit of the Spirit in your life and cry out to God to restore the fruit. This ain’t no time to compare ourselves among ourselves but instead to compare ourselves to Christ. I want to be more like Jesus.
The Holy Ghost prompted me to tell you, what Jesus will say to those who will ask him when he comes back at the end of the Tribulation period, Zec.13:6 “What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.” This is a Wow, after 2000 years, he is reminding them, of the wounds he received, that thou, they meant it for evil like Joseph’s brothers, God meant it for good. Isa.53:5 says, “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him: and with his stripes we are healed.” I’m telling you the true, it won’t matter after the rapture, who said what, and done what to you, all that will matter then, you’ll be crying out to Jesus; to replenish the oil you neglected to keep refilling. You’ll not be able to blame no one but yourself for getting “Comfortable, Critical, which leads to Controlling, then to Contamination, finally leading you to Catastrophe, my dear friend. Jeremy Pooler said.
The bombs could be falling any day now, and as I have been told by godly prophetical voices, years ago, at the same time the bombs were coming the rapture of the Church occurred. You have a choice to keep your lamps trimmed and burning, by replenishing the oil daily. If you miss the rapture, you can’t blame nobody but yourself.
Wake up, shake yourself, and get up from you slumber and sleep, and get your house in order, so that you’ll be ready to go up. You’ll be so glad you did. Maranatha!!!!!
