The Lord is advising us to stay out of shopping, surfing, watching movies and other forms of entertainment, to make your reality Him and what is coming soon, the marriage of the bride and the rapture.
Those who will be caught unaware are those who consistently place their time and value, on this things of this world: money, store shopping, curiosities, advanced communications, but those who consistently place their time and value on their relationship with God are well informed in advance and they are the ones you're gonna stand firm as all we have known as free men crumbles into dust around us and at the feet of this emerging powers. - Clare

Clare: We in America and all over the world are about to see the fulfilment of Daniel 2, Daniel statue with legs of iron and feet of iron mixed with clay. It's going to arise in the earth and it's going to devour the whole earth. It's going to catch many unaware just as Hitler terminated. Those who will be caught unaware are those who consistently place their time and value, on these things of this world: money, store shopping, curiosities, advanced communications, but those who consistently place their time and value on their relationship with God are well informed in advance and they are the ones you're gonna stand firm as all we have known as free men crumbles into dust around us and at the feet of this emerging power. In one day, the world is gonna change. Maybe perhaps in just one hour, the world is going to change. And those who have invested their lives in the fabric of their lives is in the world: the Internet, the news, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, telephone calls, shopping, everything. All of that is gonna come into a halt. And when it does, we're gonna feel bare and empty because everything we've known as a fabric of our life all of a sudden has changed gears. Some of these things will be taken from us. We'll even lose money that we have in the bank. whatever.
The point is we're gonna be standing near in utter chaos and ourselves in utter confusion because we haven't established strong relationship with the Lord and we cannot stand without the help of the world. So when the world is taken away, we're not able to stand but those who established the Lord as the fabric of their life and the relationship with Him, they're gonna be able to stand and the Lord is going to keep them standing.
So if you live by the dollar, you'll fall by the dollar, if you live by vain entertainment and worldly ways, communications, curiosities, you'll be stripped of that reality. And when you're offered those comforts back, you'll do anything to establish a sense of security by having them returned to you but at what cost. What does it profit a man if he gains a whole world but loses his very own soul. Many will lose their soul in an hour to do anything to have their comforts returned to them, setting their Bibles right next to their chequebooks. And what I'm saying is, this may not be for people who'll rapture, this may be for people left behind. The point is there's going to be a very traumatic interruption in the fabric of living before the rapture. And the Lord wants you to stand firm during that time. He doesn't want you to crumble like the rest of the world, He doesn't want you to collapse in the chaos, He wants you to have such a strong grounding in reality in Him with your house built upon a rock, that you're not washed away and swept away by the tides of event that will surround you. So He's trying to prepare you for this. That became really clear to me in prayer. And He's really trying to get you on your feet with Him so that when the whole world is torn away in a riptide, you're still standing, you haven't been washed out to sea with the rest of them. He is our strength when the rest of the world are reeling in utter chaos, not knowing up from down and we will have peace that passes all understanding that He promises to those who put their complete trust in Him. Could be at the helm of a ship, directing and guiding us no matter how violently the seas toss, with Christ around helm, sleeping peacefully at the back of the ship. So I guess is what I'm asking you is not to begrudge the Lord to shift the focus in your life. He's asking this for a very real and necessary purpose not only for our wedding day, but to keep you standing when the rest of the world is reeling in chaos. So be of good cheer and press in with the Lord. Place all value and emphasis in your life on Him. You won't be disappointed. When the world falls apart, you'll be standing secure and the promises He has made to you. He shows you what's going to happen next and we're waiting for it, we're expecting it. When that hour comes, we have really no way of knowing exactly how stronger, how weak we're going to be, but one thing we know for sure that if a house is built upon a rock in reality is the Lord in His Word to us and a relationship with Him, then when everything else crumbles, we're going to stand. We're going to be able to stand, because that's where reality is. So the Lord bless you and give you courage and pray for us as we pray for you as well. God bless you.
