God’s Message Versus Our Message!!!

07 Feb 2026
Off

Is our message “Christocentric”… if so, then what is happening in the next month, should cause us to go out into the hedges and highways and compel whoever, has an ear to hear, who still has any senses left, that has not been desensitized by “Helli-wood” to understand, that God is speaking, loud and clear in the heavens above, that Jesus is coming any day now for his bride. Folks this is not a coincidence. . . that there will be a “Ring of Fire-Eclipse Coming on Feb. 17, 2026. (February being the 2nd month) In Bible numerics, 2nd means witness, 17 means victory, 20 means redemption, and 26 means Gospel of Christ. Then in this month, 6 planets will be lining up on the 28th. Six means man, and 28 means eternal life. Then on 3-3-2026 there will be a total “Blood Moon Eclipse on the feast of Purim for the third year in a row.” We have 3 here twice, which is witness, on the three meaning works of God, and 20 meaning redemption and 26 meaning, gospel of Christ.

Now, what makes this so powerful is, according to my friend JD Collins, the look up sign was given to us in 1994, (Luke 21:25-28 of “the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars…”) when asteroids hit Jupiter 21 (means sin) times, in six (man) days, which had never happened before. Of which he said, God was saying “I see the exceeding wickedness of man on the earth. I find this interesting that all three are now happening within fifteen (which means rest) days of each other, and this is 32 years from the look up sign which means covenant. Wow!!!

My fellow ministers and believer’s, we may not preach this message of the second coming of Christ, (first to rapture his beloved bride out of harm’s way, and second to come back with his saints after the 7-year tribulation period) but be assured that the God of heaven is proclaiming this message from above LOUD & CLEAR.

Now you can scoff at this and write me off as 2 Pet.3:3-4 said some men would do “And saying, where is the promise of his coming?” But a God who loved us enough to send his “only begotten Son” to pay the debt of the sins for the whole world, for which we all deserved to die for, and have been lost forever, is saying … (Ez.18:23) “Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and that he should return from his ways, and live?”

I’m exhorting us all, not to be distracted from the main thing a “Christocentric” focus in proclaiming the gospel message, Jesus saves, and his coming is at the door. If you are not (Heb.9:28) looking for Him, and (Luke 21:36) not watching and praying, from my understanding of those who will be “counted worthy to escape” (means to deem entirely deserving, qualified) will not be ready at his coming,

Jesus has warned us all, in Luke 21:34-36 to “take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that that day (Rapture) come upon you unaware. For as a snare, shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 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 on man”. (Amp. at His coming).

Whether we choose to be focused like Paul (1Cor.2:2) “determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified.”) our Heavenly Father is still proclaiming this message. Almighty God is shouting from heaven, “this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” is coming any day now to get his bride, who is ready. My fellow ministers and believers, it is high time, to awake, and pray for eyes to be opened before the door is shut, and 75% (Matt.16:27-28, 17:1) of the church as a whole will be left to go into the tribulation period.

Salvation is free, but maintenance is up to us. (Heb.2:3)

A Cataclysmic War with Iran has been postponed

02 Feb 2026
Off

There is a bit of good news, Michael Synder wrote “That a Cataclysmic War with Iran has been postponed, (but Military preparations continue, in case talks fail). He also wrote, when a full blown war finally erupts the Iranians will throw everything that they have at Israeli cities and the U.S. bases in the region. And then things will get really, really crazy. So, enjoy the brief respite that we have been given, because once it is over, we will be facing a nightmare of historic proportions.”
My, what times we are living in, just like Jesus said, we are living what the prophets and his holy apostles wrote about. With all the signs the Lord has been giving us, he promised, when they were occurring, his coming was at hand (Luke 21:25-28) and to lift up your heads for your redemption draweth nigh.

Interestingly, there are two signs coming up a “Ring of fire-Eclipse coming on 2-17-2026 and a rare Annular Solar Eclipse will occur.” Interesting with 2 meaning witness and 17 meaning victory, 20 meaning redemption and 26 meaning Gospel of Christ.

Seeing God is moving the hearts of men to fulfill his will, there is nothing by chance with God. This is another message, (Ezekiel 18:23 who has “any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?”) calling out to all who have ears to hear, that his wrath will soon be poured out, (2Thess.1:8) “In flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
I believe he is exhorting his bride, to go quickly into the hedges and highways, to compel who will hear to come in, for his supper is ready. Oh, how I pray, you will not be like most of Israel, at Christ first coming that made excuses saying I cannot come.

Now this second sign is most interesting in that it will occur on 3-3-2026 the moon will turn blood red for 82 minutes, and nearly 6 (which means man) billion people will have a chance to witness it.”
Now it’s very interesting that it’s on the third month and the third day, and three means works of God, and according to JD Collins is “always shown in a raising from the dead.” Most of mankind will be able to see it. Also, interestingly there will be 15 days between the two, and 15 means rest. Which I believe those that are ready, will soon enter into.

Now seeing it is God giving us these signs in the heavens, and that his saints are not in darkness, and that man’s days are not only numbered (Psa.90:12) for his days in living out on earth, but that (Hos.6:1-2, Luke 13:32) the two days, he has allotted to the church, and the total of 6 days or 6000 years, is coming to its end, and the glorious reign of Christ for a thousand years is at hand, as one sung “It’s almost over and we are going home.”

Our Redemption draweth nigh. And as another sobering song says, “I wish we’d all been ready, there’s no time to change your mind the Son has come and you’ve been left behind. As Brother JD Collins would say “It’s a time to live holy.”

Maranatha!!!

The Unadulterated, Inerrant, Infallible, Indisputable, Irrefutable Word of God Speaks For Itself

21 Jan 2026
Off

Just simply the unadulterated, inerrant, infallible, indisputable, irrefutable word of God, and very sobering indeed, speaks for itself 1Pet.4-17-18 “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely (with difficulty) be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear.”

Luke 21:34-36 “And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, (means to indulge in pleasure recklessly) and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day (speaking of rapture) come upon you unawares. For as a snare, shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be account worthy (to deem entirely deserving, qualified) to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”

Joel 2:1-3 “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it…” Matt.24:21 “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Like Jeremiah 9:1 “Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people.”

Oh Lord, we need intercessors crying out, Joel 2:17 “Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people…”

They’re saying a storm is coming, possible snow, ice… and encouraging people to prepare for it, but how few are prepared for the coming of Jesus. Scoff and mock if you will, but there was no rain in sight when Noah built the ark. Oh the mercy and grace of God, that he would give us undeniable signs, such as Luke 21:25-28 and there will only be comparably few, who will be rushing to the church, to make such, they have plenty of oil, when the bridegroom comes for his bride, to meet him (the first phase of his coming) in the air.

While I have gotten the ingredients for snow cream, whether it snows or not, I have prepared. Now Jesus may not come tonight, tomorrow, or a few months from now, but by all the converging of the signs, he could come as the song say’s “Just any day now.”

Micheal Synder say’s “All over America, thousands of Radicals are being recruited for ‘Rapid Response Teams’ that are designed to swarm ICE activists is currently being created.” He said “Widespread civil unrest is in our immediate future, and it isn’t going to be pretty.” He also wrote that there is a “Retail Apocalypse” the worst in history now, and there are signs it is getting worse. Core sight research is reporting that 8,234 stores were permanently closed in the United States in 2025, the highest number every recorded.”

As my dear friend JD Collins said, if I miss the rapture, I have no one to blame but myself. Now is the time to be 1 John 1:7 “walking in the light…” James 1:27 “keeping yourself unspotted from the world…” Eph.5:25-27 and keeping the spots and wrinkles, blemishes off your garment. If you’re not ready, we’re having revival with brother Jimmy Jones starting Sunday Lord willing. Now would be a good time to make sure, you have plenty of oil in your lampstand.

Oh, how thankful I am that I can go to the Lord, asking him to fill my cup with more oil, and he will. In Zec.4:11-14 it shows us there is a constant supply flowing of the oil.

Well, you may say, I have all I need, if you do, thank God, pray for me to have more, till my cup runs over. I need a daily supply, to stand against the evil tide of this world, and this lukewarm church age. Maranatha!!!!!

He’s Coming Very Soon!

14 Jan 2026
Off

Ready or not, the Lord is coming very, very soon. “Trump posted “Iranian Patriots, keep protesting. Take over your Institutions!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers, they will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meeting with Iranian officials until the senseless killing of protesters stops. Help is on the way.”

Folks “there is no turning back now!!!” Over the past few day’s things are leading up to a crescendo, and now according to Micheal Synder “World War III is officially here. More than half of the nations on the entire planet are either engaged in Military Conflict or are funding Military Conflict. And now the Middle East is about to explode!”

It looks like as well that “Our allies believe that something is going to happen…because they are telling their citizens to get out of Iran immediately.”

I pray you will take it to heart, and “search your heart” and (2Pet.1:10) make your calling and election sure.” There will be no more of the uncommitted after the rapture. I can’t speak for you, but I want to be found (Matt.24:45-48) as that wise servant doing when he Lord cometh.

The separation of the wheat and tares are being separated and the dead branches with no fruit will soon be cut off and be burned up. It is my prayer we’ll all have fruit, more fruit, and even much fruit to lay at Jesus feet.

There’s and old song I heard as a teenager “I want to walk as close as I possibly can. What an exciting time to be living in, that we’re the generation (Matt.25:10) who are the ready ones, in the clouds (1Thess.4:13-18) to meet the Lord in the air. Will you be ready!!! Only you and I can answer that question. Maranatha!!!
