Calling on the Church to Pray!!!!!

11 Jun 2025
Off

We’ve all seen the rioting going on in California, and we have a strong felling this is just the beginning. As a counter to disrupt President Trumps Birthday Parade “On Saturday, there will be 1550 “No King” protests all over the county.”

My dear friend and prophecy Preacher Fred Shmidt said over 15 years ago, there were 10,000 sleeper cells, here in America and when the signal is given, they will act. I don’t know if this is in the making, if not, this is serious.

To all the scoffers out there 2Pet.3:3-4 who has been crying “Where is the promise of his coming…” will soon witness the event, to be left outside (Matt.25:10) the door as in Noah’s Day, (Rev.3:16) and spued out into the 7-year horrible tribulation (Matt.24:21, Mark 13:19) that will be worse than all of human history.

After 45 years of hearing the prophetical voices that God raised up who were all “Pre-Trib. and studying God’s Word now for over 54 years, we are almost out of time. I can’t help but think about the dreams Dana Coverstone had, of chaos, people running everywhere.

If you have not counted the cost to follow Christ and denied yourself and taken up the cross to follow the Lord Jesus, today would be a good day for you to count the cost. If you think, that the Father is going to give his beloved Son a bride, that has set up all these idols of which you’re serving, may the Lord Jesus open your eyes, to this awful truth, that he will spit you out of his mouth.

I cannot judge your heart, but I can judge the tree by the fruit it is bearing. Whatever you are placing before Jesus, in “obedience to the faith” (Col.3:5) I’d be praying that the Lord would help me to put it to death. I’d be searching my heart and life (2Cor.13:5) to see “whether ye be in the faith…” (Jude 4) and “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.”

I am not out to make any enemies, but to awaken you to the blessed hope. There is no hope in, “The Kingdom Now”, “Pre-Wrath”, which is another form of “Mid-Trib, or “Post Trib. doctrine. I am not going to befriend you, even fuss with you, but if you don’t believe the “Pre-Trib” Rapture, you don’t mind if I translate while you tribulate. Brother Shmidt says if you believe either one of these unbiblical doctrines, get ready to die, in the tribulation period.

My prayer is that you will see the truth and the truth will set you free. (John 6:32) Maranatha!!!

What Will It Take For The Church to Wake Up?

07 Jun 2025
Off

What will it take for the church to be awakened out of her slumber and sleep? Oh Lord Psa.85:6 “Wilt thou not revive us again…” I find myself feeling the need to pray as Abraham in Gen.18:23 “Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?”

You might say, you’re losing your mind, a new day is before us, and it is, but it depends upon what new day you’re talking about. If you think a new golden age is before us before Jesus comes to set up his kingdom on earth, you are being influenced by another spirit, other than the Holy Spirit.

It is my prayer that according to Paul in Rom.9:28 that the Lord Jesus is about to do “a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.” In Jerm.5:24 this work is referred to “both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.”

I’m calling to all who according to Luke 21:36 obeying Jesus words to “Watch ((keeping the eye constantly alive to events) and have any understanding of the times, to pray with me, that the Lord Jesus will pour out James 5:7-9 “the early and latter rain.”

Oh, how I pray that the church, will be awakened to the necessity of being filled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Consider the urgency of just a few headlines. President Trump “under our potential agreement, we will not allow any enrichment of Uranium.” The Iranians “continuing enrichment on Iranian soil is our red line. This is a reality that all countries have accepted. Enrichment has now become a matter of National pride and honor for Iranians.”

The Ayatollah just delivered a defiant speech as well saying, “The U.S. cannot do a “D” thing to stop them from enriching Uranium.” On another front, the Ukrainians operation was “grounds for the Nuclear attack” declared Vladmir Solovyov a firebrand host on Russia state TV, calling for strikes on the Ukranian Presidential office in Kyiv, and beyond.”

Micheal Synder wrote “most people living in the Western World don’t realize this, but the Russian “Satan-2″ missiles are the most advanced nuclear missiles in the entire world. It is capable of carrying multiple Nuclear Warheads, up to 15-16, capable of wiping out entire Cities, roughly an area the size of the State of Texas. He says, we have no defense against such missiles. If the Russians or Chinese press the button, we will be toast. We don’t have anything that can shoot down the new missiles that the Russians or the Chinese have developed.” He also said if the Iranians don’t miraculously come to their senses and agree to the deal President Trump is offering, the world will soon be plunged into a nightmare that want be waking up from any time soon.”

Sadly, I know that most people could care less what these leaders say, or what happens to them because it is not affecting us, oh but it will. The rain of God’s wrath is nearer than the slumbering, sleeping church wants to see. Oh, but the Lord Jesus, is knocking and saying to all who have ears to hear, can you not see the clock that it’s seconds before midnight.

This last church dispensation the Laodiceans Rev.3:16 that 75% of he will soon “spue out of (his) mouth…V.18 is “counseling you to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and the nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

Oh, the longsuffering of God, that he would still allow his Son, (who demonstrated his love when he paid for man’s sin debt on the cross) to continually knock in hopes that this lethargy, apathy, complacent, and for the most part uncommitted church would be awaken to its condition, and open the door for Jesus to come in.

Closing prayer: My Father, forgive us for having a form of worship, that has denied the power of the Holy Ghost that makes a new creation out of the saved. Oh Lord, have mercy upon us just one more time, and pour out your Spirit of conviction as you did at Pentecost that caused Acts 2:37 to cry out “what shall we do?” Repent, and be baptized every one of you…”

The Messager’s, Method, and Message is still the same, 1Cor.2:2 “Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” 1Cor.18 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”

Oh, that we had more deaths to self in the church, surely, we would see this Pentecostal outpouring just one more time. As we can see by the signs all around us, the door into the ark of safety the Lord Jesus Christ (Joh.10:9) will soon (Matt.25:10) shut and those who failed to maintain the oil will be left out into the dark night of the tribulation period.

This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday, it would be a good day, to be refilled. Oh, Lord here I am, fill my cup Lord, and blow the wind upon thy servant, until the flame of thy Holy Ghost fire is seen upon my head, that souls will cry out again as then “what shall we do.” Maranatha!!!!!

No Longer A Rumor

02 Jun 2025

Well, it’s no longer a rumor!!!!! Ukrainian has launched a large-scale drone “attack on the Russians strategic air force base, deep inside Russia. Unofficial Russian military channels call the operation, Russia’s Pearl Harbor.”

Amir said “They have hit at least four Russian airbases today. The four main bases, hosts two-thirds of Russia’s nuclear-powered subs, and 40 or more planes were destroyed. The Ukrainians had been preparing this for a year and a half according to Ukrainian media.” Also, “Russian media: The Kremlin announces emergency meeting following the drones attack.” I know I may sound like a broken record, but so was Noah, judgment is at the door, and the blessed hope of Christ 1Thess.4:13-18 and the catching away of his bride, to meet the Lord Jesus in the air, 5:9 from the wrath to come, upon all Luke 21:36 who were not “accounted worthy to escape all these things, that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” is now clearly at the door.

I have not talked to my dear friends, and colleagues that I esteem very highly and students of the Word. This will inevitably lead to a limited nuclear war, unless God puts the brakes upon it very soon. If you are not ready, 2Pet.1:10 and made your election sure, now’s the time to get your house in order.
My prayer is that you will be living Rom.1:4 in obedience to the faith” and found Eph.5:26-27 without spot, wrinkle or blemish. Wake up, stop hitting the snooze button, thinking that you have 15, 10, or even 5 minutes left to slumber and sleep. Rom.13:11 says “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep, (spiritually) for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness and let us put on the armor of light.”

Don’t be among the scoffers, 2Pet.3:3-4 who are saying where is the promise of his coming? But be among Heb.9:28 “them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Thank God he came the first time to deal with sin. Oh, but this next time he’s coming for those looking for him and maintaining the wedding garment. Oh, Lord I want to be ready, if you are not ready, thank God right now that the door is still open, and he’s still calling come, but for how long.
Maranatha!!!!!

It May Not Be Rumors Much Longer!

31 May 2025
Off

Well, it may not be Rumors much longer!!!!! “Germany is considering suppling cruise missiles to Ukraine, something they have requested for a long time. Russia has responded back saying (Moscow could simply directly strike Berlin if German-made missiles begin raining down on Russian Cities…”

Michael Snyder wrote “If Russian missiles strike Berlin, Nato will be at war with Russia that means we will be at war with Russia. And once we are at war with Russia, it is only a matter of time before nuclear weapons are used. So let us hope that a peace deal with Russia can be reached soon, because the clock is ticking.”

To all the scoffers, the lukewarm and the lost, I believe Jesus in his mercy and grace, (Ez.18:23 who has no “pleasure at all that the wicked should die”) is warning that impending wrath is at the door. Some Prophets, Evangelist, and Pastors have been faithful in calling on people to flee from the wrath to come.”

Don’t be fooled to think that God is going to give a bride to be married to his beloved Son, to rule and reign with him in the eternal ages, that is not walking in a life of, Rom.1:5 “obedience to the faith.”

If I weren’t faithful, committed, consecrated, and bearing my cross, I’d fall on bended knees at the foot of the cross, and ask this merciful and faithful High Priest, to restore my soul and the joy of my salvation. Sunday would be a good start to gather on the first day of the week as the early saints did, to worship the resurrected Lord Jesus. He truly is coming very, very soon. Maranatha!
