I’m not sure what was going on in my head if, but I was always curious about who we would reign over, with Jesus, for the 1000 year reign, and why on earth if we were raptured? So, the devil will be locked away for that 1000 years, meaning the people will still be here on earth. The evil kingdoms will be shut down and destroyed; deceitfulness brought on by Satan will be over. The church will be in charge; I’m only speaking of the true church, not those sold out to the devil; their reign will be over too. The nations are still there, but the evil empires stealing from the people will be gone. The devil will not be wondering the earth, tempting people in a deceitful way: “and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer.” Revelation 20:3. We’re not going to be raptured, but we’ll be at peace because Jesus and his church (us) will reign. There is no pre-trib or post-trib rapture; that’s bologna! God’s getting rid of the evil so they don’t kill off all God’s people! They are the ones who have to worry, not us!

Matthew 24:30-31 say he will gather his elect; it doesn’t say we’re going anywhere. If you read on through the parable in Matthew 25, he’s removing the evil, not us.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, after the 1000 year reign. “The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.” Revelation 20:5. Then comes judgment.

Matthew 24:3 “End of the age” will be the end of the world as we know it. The evil empire will end!

Convince me otherwise, using only scripture in context.

I’ve seen more than enough to know that Hollywood is committed to god, but guess who they consider god? Satan! They know who Jesus is, and they cringe when his name is mentioned, but it’s Satan who gives them fame and fortune. They’ve made a deal with him, and they can’t help it, they have to tell everyone! Watch for the signs; they will cover one eye, which confirms their commitment to the “all-seeing eye,” they will show this, 👌🏼which stands for 666; try it, and you’ll see it. Sometimes you will see them make a triangle with their hands or hide one hand in their clothes; there’s more, but I don’t know all of them. It’s not just Hollywood; many, if not most, of congress, has made a deal with him. It’s a sick and perverted society that no one should follow after or even desire to be like them; we should feel sorry for them, but I don’t; they know what they’re doing. The people I feel sorry for are the ones who idolize them, not knowing of their despicable acts, which Satan also requires for them to keep them in their position. They know that they’ve chosen evil and are slaves to him; they love money and fame more than their very lives. Remember when Satan offered Jesus fame if he would worship him? It’s the same temptation, only these people are weak and don’t resist him. I’m writing about this because people need to wake up and see what’s going on right before their eyes. These are the people grieving the Holy Spirit; these are the people who've taken the mark!

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” Matthew 4:8-9

If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come! 1 Corinthians 16:22

April 29

We’ve been saying this all along, but we are at the end of the End Times. 

Matthew 24:29  “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

30  Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31  And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Think about how this scripture has been explained away. These are the words of Jesus, and he is telling us that he will have his angels gather us AFTER the tribulation! We are the elect! I always wondered why Jesus would leave instructions for the people who don’t believe in him. He didn’t; these instructions are for us. I don’t think we're going to be harmed during tribulation; the evil people are the ones that need to worry, not us. We’ve been led astray by the teachers who follow the instruction of instructors of old who were probably part of an evil agenda, and no one questioned it. Research for yourselves to seek the truth.

April 28

I was doing a word study on “beasts” this morning because, in my daily Bible reading, Paul mentions contending with the beasts at Ephesus. Beasts, in this circumstance, refers to angry men. I tend to think that maybe the beast mentioned in Revelation could be a category of people, the wealthy elite class like the Rockefeller’s, Rothschild’s, and others who control the money and banks around the world; they are the ones pushing for a New World Order to gain control of the world's people and make us a slave to them.

Then the people doing their bidding, like Hollywood, the media, and politicians, could they be the Great Prostitute? They do anything for money and seem to be bowing to something that makes them hostile toward their country. 

Whether it is or it isn’t, we all know there is something criminal going on, and if this is true, we can be thankful to be on the side of Jesus. Take a look at the White House in Washington, DC, and notice what it has become. It appears deserted, and things happen under cover of darkness. There is an earth camera pointed at it, and the light goes dark at 11 pm, then, on occasion, you see people in black carrying things out of there. What’s going on? Look at the following verse in Zephaniah. He also mentions beasts.

Herds shall lie down in her midst, all kinds of beasts; even the owl and the hedgehog shall lodge in her capitals; a voice shall hoot in the window; devastation will be on the threshold; for her cedar work will be laid bare. This is the exultant city that lived securely, that said in her heart, “I am, and there is no one else.” What a desolation she has become, a lair for wild beasts! Everyone who passes by her hisses and shakes his fist. Zephaniah 2:14-15

Zephaniah was a prophet and appeared to be talking about Nineveh and Assyria, but if you notice, prophecy can unfold in other ways. The White House seems empty, the fencing is surrounding the owl, and we are all hissing at what is going on. 

Were the things happening now prophesied? Are we living out Revelation? Could Zephaniah have been talking about the White House? Only time will tell, but it’s amazing how the pieces of the puzzle seem to fit.

Oh, the joy of nature! I was doing some spring cleaning on my patio, and low and behold; I found the remnants of a pesky critter who had made a nest behind my couch; it sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it. It had scattered its mess and feces all over the place. I got it all cleaned up, and it was getting close to dinner time; I’ve been using my charcoal grill instead of the gas grill lately but decided to make some steaks without all the fuss. I opened the grill to get it started, and there it was, a little field mouse all cozy, making itself a lovely home! What do I do now? When I saw it in the grill, I had a fleeting thought to turn it on and roast him, but then what? Rat for dinner? I couldn’t do it. That thing couldn’t help it; it had found a cozy new home. Needless to say, I ran it out of there and began the process of disinfecting the grill. 

Rats have infiltrated our world, and they have made themselves comfortable, but the time is coming, and very soon, we will be running them out and begin cleaning up their mess. Babylon has entered the nations! Wait for it, my friends; there is a process going on behind the scenes not reported by the national news; in fact, they are doing their best to cover it up. Prepare yourselves for some unusual things to begin happening. Remember, God is in control!

And he called out with a mighty voice, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast. Revelation 18:2

April 26

There are a lot of false teachers and false prophets in our world today. I don’t think they’ve intended to be, but they are repeaters of what they were taught. Now don’t get me wrong, there are others with evil intentions, but I would say, for the most part, these people think they are tending to the business of God. What if the enemy has infiltrated the seminaries? He disguises himself as a beacon of light and will make himself appear to be trustworthy and true. It’s hard to peel back the layers of lies we’ve been taught to believe when others keep adding onto those lies. Therefore, when the truth stands at attention, we are less likely to believe it. Isn’t that what the devil wants? His deception is so blatant that as people begin to open their eyes and see how deceived they’ve been, he comes on more robust and works twice as hard at his deception. He’s been here all along, so it makes sense that little by little, he would continue to add to his lies until he had the whole world convinced that it was the truth. We need to expand our thinking, step out of the invisible box, and come against him. Remember, we have the power to invoke the name of Jesus and tell him to stop. Do this when you become confused or feel you are running into a roadblock and lack understanding. It will give you a moment of clarity so the Holy Spirit can do his work.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

April 25

MARK OF THE BEAST

In general, what are some of the ways you are MARKED as a Christ-follower? The answer: the way you THINK and ACT! You are known by your fruit. You THINK with your head and your ACT with your hand. You have the mark of Jesus on your head and your hand! You worship him, not the beast!

Revelation is a vision that needs to be decoded. I do not believe the mark of the beast is a physical mark. Do you think satanic thoughts? Will your actions lead anyone to believe you worship Satan? The answer is NO! You do not have and will not get the mark of the beast! 

With what you know about God and his goodness and mercifulness, would he condemn you to hell for trying to feed yourself or your family if the world required you to receive a chip so you could buy groceries? Absolutely not! That is not a characteristic of my Father! 

Satan uses our misinterpretation of God’s Word to control us. Throw that one in the trash and stop thinking about it.

I came to this conclusion because I did a quick search of the word “mark” in my Bible app, and the only physical “mark” used was for the nail marks in Jesus’s hands and his side. The other “marks” mentioned were not physical marks. Rejoice! You are safe!

... and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Revelation 20:4

April 24

The wind is blowing, but I can’t see it. I can hear it whistling, but my plants aren’t moving; they are bromeliads, so they don’t have a lot of movement. I began questioning whether or not it was the wind making that noise; then I noticed a palm tree near the ground floor with its fronds whipping around; hence I knew what I was hearing was the wind. 

How do you know if it’s God speaking to you? He doesn’t usually make a sound, but there will be tell-tell signs; when you begin to read those signs, you will realize his voice is quiet but distinctive. 

When I write this post in the mornings, I have no idea what I’m going to say ahead of time. Sometimes the Holy  Spirit directs me to scripture; other times, he prods me to look at current events, but there is always a message he wants me to relay. Though I know he has given me knowledge and wisdom, I must still listen for his voice to guide me. How do I know it’s him helping me? His voice doesn’t go against scripture.

It’s easier to hear him when there are minimal distractions. Find some time alone with God daily; go to your prayer closet, or meet with him in nature. Get away with him for a moment, and cultivate a loving relationship with him. It will restore peace to your soul; I guarantee you that it’s worth every minute.

But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Matthew 6:6

April 23

It’s not business as usual in the United States government. If Washington, DC becomes a state, it will officially close down the federal government's hold over the states as a foreign entity and its rule over us. At least that’s what I hope it means. Maybe then we will become a true constitutional republic. There will be no sovereign ground from which to rule. Yes, it may give them a couple more senators if the Senate approves it as a state; however, in my opinion, the states that initially annexed it should get it back. Will their sinister plan backfire? Absolutely! It seems like we are watching a movie! This movie has a happy ending, guaranteed! 

The television news is only a show, don’t believe it as truth. It’s all a part of the plan to program your mind. Turn it off, look around you; is it affecting your life right now? I’m pretty happy; my life is going pretty well. It’s business as usual in our household. Don’t be overcome by what you see on the screen of the “tel-lie-vision.” It’s called a “program” for a reason. Concentrate all your effort on worshipping God, praise him for his goodness, and thank him for his mercy; everything else is a nonissue.

Day 19 of counting the omer.

My tongue will sing of your word, for all your commandments are right. Let your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts. I long for your salvation, O LORD, and your law is my delight. Let my soul live and praise you, and let your rules help me. Psalms 119:172-175

April 22

Are we all slaves yet feel like we are free? The government has no money of its own but requires the people to work and pay taxes so they can spend it and do whatever they please. We know from seeing it that most people in office, but not all, are there to line their own pockets. Are we chattel? Are we owned like cattle? Are the “elected” officials put into power by the people, or is it all an illusion? 

For example, I live in a blue county that has a mask mandate. When it went into effect, I followed the chats on Facebook; very few people were for the government taking away our freedom to choose. Most were angry about them for even considering it. They did not follow the will of the people! However, because Florida’s Governor told them they couldn’t penalize the people for not wearing a mask, they put all the pressure on the corporations to do their dirty work. Hmm... it makes you wonder if they might only have power over the corporations; otherwise, the governor would have stopped it altogether. The corporations are scared to death about having to go to court over masks, so they pressured their customers to follow their rules.

If we only knew the truth about the history of our country, the idea that we might be slaves would not come as a shock. Stop following the crowd, stop listening to the news. You were given a brain for a reason; start using it.

I want to make you aware that things are not as they seem, and the only truth we can count on is God’s truth. The world is in a real mess, and if the people don’t get a clue, things will become much worse. Please ask God for wisdom.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. James 1:5

April 21

Today is another great day! We will bask in the glow of our amazing Savior. We are privileged to be living in this time. However, there are so many weird things happening that we can’t wrap our minds around it. Why did he choose us to be a part of one of the most significant of worldwide events? He knew we could handle what would come next! Even though it may look like the world is going down in flames, it isn’t! We may experience some discomfort, but it will be okay. What we are about to face is what all humanity has looked forward to throughout history. Those who’ve chosen correctly and love the LORD our God will share true freedom and live to see it come to fruition. Do not fear when you see things happening that you don’t understand; it was all written in the Word of God and will be understood at the proper time. When you hear repeated the words “this is biblical,” it’s not a joke; it is! God’s plan, as usual, is unfolding for all to see. The truth will come out, justice will be served, and evil will be thwarted. God is faithful, and we will all be grateful and relieved once his plan falls into place!

Today is the seventeenth day of counting the Omer, but Pentecost is coming!

Consider how I love your precepts! Give me life according to your steadfast love. The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures forever. Psalms 119:159-160

April 20

Most of my posts are for people who already know Jesus, and many do, but I’m particularly concerned for those who think they know him yet live as though they don’t. You know who I’m talking about! Those people that fill the pews on Sunday and give a “holier than thou” air, but treat others as if they are dirt. How do you get them to realize that they are lost? The trouble with them is that they think they already have salvation, but their fruit is rotting into the ground, and everyone knows it except for them. That’s a hard nut to crack! It may be that they will only realize that they need Jesus when something tragic happens, and that’s sad. No one wants to go through trials, but sometimes that’s the only way to show them that they can’t do it on their own and that they need to humble themselves at the hand of Jesus. It’s not that hard to do, and it creates a change of heart that is visible to others. We can only hope that something we say or do will prompt them to seek Jesus with their whole heart. Beyond that, all we can do is pray and hope the Holy Spirit touches their heart.

Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. Romans 10:1-3

April 19

It’s nice to wake up to rain, but not so nice to think your home is going to get blown away! A storm came through last night, and the wind was so mighty that I was concerned that everything would be a mess this morning, but it’s intact and no damage done. I shouldn’t be surprised though, I began praying for our neighbors and us immediately, and I believe God answered me. The wind didn’t even move my umbrella! I haven’t seen my other properties yet, but I’m confident that they are also acceptable. Before we went to bed, the Emergency Broadcast System warned of possible tornado activity. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen an EBS warning; it was cause for alarm! We changed the channel, and it was on every station! It’s great to know it’s up and running and that we can count on being informed of other emergencies if necessary. If you hear a warning and do not take precautions, it becomes your fault if life doesn’t turn out as planned. Pay attention! Act! Heed the warnings on the pages of scripture; it’s for your benefit and is the Emergency Broadcast System of God. When judgment day comes, and it could be soon, you want to be ready!

Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come. Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. 1 Corinthians 10:11-12

April 18

Are you awake yet? There is much going on we should all be concerned about, yet many are still asleep. Someone keeps hitting the snooze button and then dozing off again. The world is not normal! The United States is not normal! The New World Order, as spoken of in Daniel and Revelation, is well underway, and we are all doomed to become slaves to the few elites controlling the world; they have themselves taken the mark and are followers of Satan. These people are the worst of the worst and are evil beyond our comprehension. There is no need for you to worry about taking the mark; Jesus has already placed his seal upon you! There are some good people out there working to head off the beast at the pass, but they need us to keep fighting with them! Please stay in the battle, my fellow troops! The Almighty hears your prayers. It’s our cries for help that are bringing down the forces of evil and keeping the heavenly beings slaying the beast! You cannot sleep right now. We need all warriors for this war.

And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22

April 17

One of my new favorite things to do is to sit in a shady spot on the pass between Sand Key Park and Clearwater Beach and watch the boats go past. Richard found this special place while exploring the park on his bike. There is a lot of activity in the area since it’s a tourist destination, but the beauty of the aqua-colored water, the rocks, and the sea life make it something to behold. Even though we're close to everything, there something peaceful about encountering nature and seeing God’s creativity in a private location among the madness. Seeking a moment with God during chaotic times gives us a respite and should be prescribed daily, so we keep our sanity and renew our connection with the Almighty. I recommend that you take a few minutes today and rest your mind; seek God in nature, and give him a bit of praise and thanksgiving for the things he has given you. You’ll be amazed at how good you will feel after giving him what he deserves.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations. Psalms 100:4-5

Part 2. But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 1 Corinthians 6:17

How beautiful is it that the LORD consents to become one spirit with us? Yesterday, I wrote about how troubling it was to be of one spirit with God because of His holiness and our sinfulness, but today I want to show how magnificent it is regardless of how sinful we are in our flesh. 

When we think of blessings, we think of our possessions, but that is not our blessing; being one with the LORD is, and no amount of material possessions can compare. When we walk by faith and not by sight, Jesus walks with us every step of the way. You may not think you hear God’s voice, but because you have turned and accepted him, he becomes the guiding force behind your actions. He shows us love when we feel nothing; he sings over us because He delights in our existence; he gives us the desires of our hearts and makes us feel worthy. We are worthy because he is worthy. Feel blessed today and every day, knowing we are one with God; he says it’s true, so I believe him, and so should you.

Here is a verse that slapped me in the face this morning: 

But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 1 Corinthians 6:17

I’ve probably read this verse a hundred times, but for some reason, it never impacted me like today. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, and he gave us his wisdom and discernment as a gift. We are one spirit with him! Some of y’all need to tune in; just saying. Being one spirit with God should stop us in our tracks from doing stuff that is counter to his righteousness, yet we struggle daily to keep our minds and bodies free from sin. It should also stop us from putting ourselves down; it seems that would be a sin against him, too. We know our sin is an offense to ourselves and others affected by it, but knowing that we are subjecting God to our sin takes it to a whole different level. Keeping this in context, if you are involved in adultery or fornication, what are you doing?! That’s very troubling. If ever there was a verse that needed to be bound on your fingers and written on the tablet of your heart, this would be it! Consider your actions, and remember that you are one spirit with Jesus!

April 14

There are choices you must make during your lifetime. Some of them will be good for your health, but others will degrade it. There are many more items that we consume that will lead to disease than healthy things. As Christ-followers, we should make good choices. 

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

I know it’s hard, especially when it comes to food! I love cake, pie, and donuts, and sometimes I succumb to those delicacies, but I know that I should limit my intake because they are not suitable for my health. Not only that, but I notice a difference in hearing God’s voice. Who would have thought that food could make a difference? Imagine what drugs can do to you, legal or illegal. We have become very accustomed to popping a pill for whatever ails us, but what if all you needed to do was change your diet? Most people would rather take medication. You’ve cut sin out of your life, now consider cleaning up the rest of it.

April 13

The fencing in DC is coming down. You won’t hear that on television. Up until a little after 1 a.m. this morning, there was no one on the streets. I know this because I follow a guy on the Telegram app that drives around DC and gives video documentation of what’s going on; most of the time, his version of events doesn’t fit the media's narrative because he brings the truth to light. You can hear Christian music playing in the background of his videos; pay attention to the clues. If you sincerely want to know the truth, it’s out there for you to find; you need to follow God’s cues. There are a few crazies on Telegram because it’s uncensored, so you have to filter the good from the bad; that’s why it’s essential to tune into the Holy Spirit for discernment. God is in the midst of what’s going on around the world. He has a plan to disarm the evil wiles of the devil, so it’s crucial for the patriots of God to join him and to jump in and help fight this battle. You must put on your armor, or you will get torn to shreds! Armor up! In the end, we win; but don’t become a casualty of the battle.

Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything. 2 Timothy 2:7

April 12

Real conspiracies are going on in the world today, but you won’t listen because you don’t want to hear lies or believe the “crazy” people who are spewing conspiracy theories. The biggest lie that you believe is that there are no conspiracies. If you fall for that particular lie, the media and the conspirators have you exactly where they want you; they are leading you around like a dog on a leash. Then, when you finally decide to research the information to disprove the theorist, you use Google for your search, and there is nothing there because Google is filtering your data. If you want to do fundamental research, you need to change your search engine to Duck Duck Go. Why am I telling you this? Because the enemy is teaching us to conform to the standard he has set, and we are falling into his traps. If the people of God don’t wake up and stop going along with this madness, the enemy will win this battle. The truth is out there; it cannot hide under the bed any longer; it’s time to expose it!

“No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.” Luke 8:16-18
