The Calm Before the Storm, June 30, 2015
Most precious Dear ones, the Lord has spoken to Ezekiel and I. This is the calm before the storm. Jesus is asking you all to bear with Him as He gathers our sacrifices together for the unsaved. There was a short interval of three days, over a week ago, where the Lord was correcting me and didn't speak to me. But that has long since passed. I have been with Him, seen Him, danced with Him and now He is calling for us hold on...steady as she goes.
I know you are all frustrated with Him not giving you a verbatim word, but shall we deny Him this sacrifice by grumbling and complaining? Please offer this to Him as a willing sacrifice. He is squeezing the last drop out of the grapes.
If you will remember, not so long ago He warned us that things would be intensifying before the Rapture and that we would only make things worse by surfing around on the Net looking for imminent signs of His coming. This restlessness only intensifies insecurities and causes you to question what you have known in your heart to be true. It takes your heart and focus off God and onto the world and people who receive their knowledge from the world. And they, in turn, can only serve it up again with their own unique twist, making it sound fresh.
He asked us NOT to do this because it would weaken us and we would not stand when everything begins to crumble around us. Rather, He wants us keeping our eye single, on Him and holding fast to His promises. I've got an excerpt here from the May 11, 2015 message, where He calls for focus on Him and away from the world. I think it's appropriate for me to read part of it to you.
There are plenty of excellent ministers out there, that have very solid histories, who don't agree with a pre - trib rapture. I can't defend my stance, because it came from Jesus after many years of discernment and I cannot deny what I know I have been shown over and over again. So, this is why I teach discernment. Many men have many varying things to say. But, if you know Jesus, you know what God says.
Another thing to consider is that not everyone is going in the Rapture. Some arecalled to stay behind, and it could be that the Lord has asked them to prepare because they are called to go through the Rapture. They may interpret that as being a post - trib rapture because they are staying - but in fact it may very well be that the Lord hasn't clarified for them that they are staying and the Bride is going. I don't have any other answers for those ministers. All I know is that when Miami falls, Jesus is coming for us.
May 11, 2015 excerpt:
In one day the world will change. Those who have invested their lives in communicating on the internet, the news, twitter, Facebook, Youtube, telephone calls and all forms of communication, will all of a sudden be left barren and empty as the world as they know it comes to a standstill, and they are isolated from one another.
In that moment, our only reality will be God, and if we have not cultivated that relationship with Him, we'll have no reality at all other than what authorities offer us, to lead us blindly into bondage to an ungodly government. If you have lived by the dollar you will fall by the dollar. I f you have lived by vain entertainments, worldly ways and communications and curiosities, you will be stripped of your reality...and then when you are offered those comforts back, you will do anything to establish a sense of security by having them returned to you. But at what a cost? What does it profit a man if He gains the whole world but loses his very own soul? So many will lose their souls in that hour, they will do anything to have their comforts returned to them, setting their Bibles right next to their check books.
Don't you see? Jesus is trying to prepare us for these moments so we will stand in Him and not be totally disoriented and freaked out. We have prepared our hearts for this moment. We have cultivated our strength - not in communications outside of ourselves, but communications interiorly with God. He alone is our strength, while the rest of the world is reeling in utter chaos not knowing up from down, we will have the peace that passes all understanding. He will be at the helm of our ship, directing and guiding us. The seas may toss violently, but with Christ at our helm we will sleep peacefully in the back of the ship just as Jesus was in the storm. nd of quote.
So, I guess what I am asking you, is to not begrudge the Lord this shift of focus in your life. He is 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 has collapsed in chaos. Be of good cheer, press in with God, place all value and emphasis in your life on Him and when the world falls apart, you will be standing secure in the promises of God.
