With 2022 coming to a close, I am re-posting a small compilation of messages. My prayer and hope for the New Year is that multitudes will receive the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray blessings to all who are struggling in so many ways. For restoration to all who have lost. For reconciliation to all who have strayed from Him. For healing to all who hurt and are ill. For hope to all who have given up. For strength to all who are weary. For joy and consolation to all who are sad (Spoken words). For GOD’S peace in war-torn countries. Most importantly, I pray that GOD’S Love and Light (truth) be instilled in a multitude of renewed hearts and minds as we enter 2023.
GOD has a plan and a purpose for all His children during these challenging latter days. Let not humanity sleep! Let not the sons and daughters slumber! Let us not overlook so great a divine design of reconciliation and restoration that is waiting to be sung and established in a multitude of hearts and minds through His Jesus Christ. Let the sun, moon and stars in unison praise the Lord! Let all who have breath, all creation even and everything that is made by Him, praise the good Lord! Let the heavens declare GOD’S Glory!

Keep the Faith in the Lord’s finished Works! With eternal praises and thanksgiving.
Following today’s message entitled: ‘There Shall Be Earthquakes’, it was brought to my remembrance that a warning had been posted six months ago relating to California. It is here re-posted.
A few days ago I was shown a protruding piece of land that was situated in a northwestern direction. It was oddly outlined with a pale reddish color on the outside and yellow on the inside.
I waited for a confirmation which came this morning through the below-noted Christian news source. It was reported that northern California experienced a 6.4 magnitude earthquake that caused extensive damage and knocked out power for tens of thousands of people. What stood prominent was the picture that resembled what had been shown.

First, I believe the vision is the work of the Holy Spirit Who shows us things that will happen. Secondly, these are latter-day signs which confirm and testify that earthquakes are intensifying in frequency. As noted repeatedly in previous posts, it is essential that the people of the lands repent and turn to GOD while time is still a commodity in order to be spiritually prepared for the next step. It is also important that Believers sense, hear and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and be prepared physically. It is also an important call to prayer as we see ‘the day’ approaching.
Affiliated Verses
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom (happening and will intensify): and there shall be famines (happening), and pestilences (happening), and earthquakes, in divers places (happening). ( Jesus in Mat. 24:7)
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. (Jn. 6:13)
I am hearing the Word: Disaster (this Word was also spoken a few days ago). The Words Hard Hit had also been spoken.
This morning after waking up, I fell back to sleep briefly. During this time, the following dream unfolded. A woman sitting at a table is meticulously cutting her food with an ‘Exacto’ knife. With fork raised in the air, I see that she is eating chicken which has been dipped in an appetizing, seasoned and flavorful sauce. End of dream.
For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid foodbelongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. (Heb. 5:13-14)
Weaned from Milk
The dream was immediately understood. The woman, whose Hebrew name means ‘GOD is merciful’ and “Gracious gift of GOD’, represents those in the Body of Christ who are ‘mercifully and graciously’ redeemed by the finished works of Jesus Christ. The meat represents the deep (I am hearing: Profound) meaning of the Word; whereas, the Exacto knife represents the ability to cut and divide the Word appropriately and with precision.
The dream furthermore means that some Believers have grown, have matured, have been weaned from the milk (basics) of the Word and have progressed to meat (profound substance) in order to discern good from evil. Interestingly and meaningfully, knowing good from evil was GOD’S command to Adam in the garden following Satan’s beguilement and deception. Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. (Discernment) And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life (Wisdom contained in the Word and through the Holy Spirit.) and eat, and live forever.(Complete plan of redemption; abundant life and eternal life through the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Tree of Life! Subsequent to the fall in the Garden,GOD had already established a plan to succor man from his earthly entrapment.)” (Gen. 3:22).
So much can be said about this topic but, once again, much too extensive to include in one message. The Church is called to take time out and study the Word. It is called to partake of the deeper substance of the Word in order to discern right from wrong during these critical days of immorality, deception, apostasy and lawlessness. And the matured Church is called to share this knowledge for the benefit of those who are still in the infancy stages of spiritual development and understanding.
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing (with precision) the word of truth. (2 Tim. 2:15)
I prayerfully asked the Lord if He had a message, a vision, for the Church. Sometime in the middle of the night I was awakened to see a well-fed calf forcefully jump out of its stall. Immediately afterwards the following verses came to mind:
For behold the day is coming burning like an oven; and all the proud, yes, and all who do wickedly shall be stubble and the day that comes shall burn them up, says the LORD of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you (the saints) who fear My Name shall the Sun of Righteousness *arise* with healing in His Wings, and you shall go forth and grow up as calvesof the stall. [Time of growth and spiritual maturation for those who are preparing; they will be healed/liberated from physical limitations and gloriously transformed to be with the Lord when He returns. (Mat. 11:11; 1 Thess. 4:15-17) Malachi further instructs that they will ultimately return with the Lord to discern between the righteous and the wicked at the Second Coming. (Mal. 3:16-18). ] (Mal. 4:1-2)
It has been taught that these verses refer to the coming of the Great Day of the Lord. It is furthermore taught that it has a twofold meaning: 1) the battle of Armageddon which paves the way for His second coming and 2) the great white throne judgement following the millennial reign. Are we that close? I cannot ascertain that to be the case. But certainly there is fire and judgement coming and it will burn all that can be burned – a dire and sobering message for those who do wickedly and are unprepared. By contrast, the vision confirms that those who are prepared and ready will leap for joy like calves who have been liberated from their stalls! And because scriptures teach it, I believe it. (smile) Praise the Lord and thank you Jesus.
Keep the Faith. Stay close to the Lord Jesus Christ.
And I (Jesus) say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Mat. 16:18)

A Tall Mountain
A dream took place months ago that keeps surfacing. When that happens, it is recognized that it is meant to be shared for the benefit of all.
I am standing somewhere looking to my right side towards a tall rocky mountain. Around the entire mountain is a narrow road that spirals all the way to the top. The narrow road is vertically divided in two. Half is made of some kind of silver metal like a slide and the other half is composed of the same material as the mountain. Suddenly and surprisingly, I find myself standing at the top of this tall mountain. How did I get here so fast I thought? In front of me is a broken wired mesh gate; it was barely hanging on to one hinge. Someone had forcefully broken through this gate. At this point in the dream came the realization that there were others here and it was them that broke through the gate. End of dream.

The New Kingdom
The mountain is biblically symbolic of a kingdom – in this case, it is the New Kingdom. And although Jesus paved the way for us to freely enter in, it does not always come easy. In fact, it can be a veritable battle and an outright throw down! But those who know their Lord will still come out victoriously!
After they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith (Jesus’ Disciples are called to continuously keep the Faith!) and saying,“Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” (Acts. 14:21-22)
Paul wisely instructed that although Jesus secured our salvation, a Believer still has a participatory role to fulfill in order to enter the Kingdom. (Cf. Phil. 1:6) Jesus, furthermore, instructed that the road leading to life is narrow and few there be that find it and enter therein. (Mat. 7:14) Without doubt, keeping the faith in the Lord of Lords and King of Kings and His finished works is critical for Believers walking on the narrow pathway leading to the New Kingdom. Tragically, many have and many more will discouragingly backslide – some even merrily – all the way down the mountain on the spiral metal slide that runs parallel to the narrow road. Apostle Paul and Jesus’ instructions, in combination with the dream, ascertain that Overcomers cannot escalate and enter the New Kingdom without enduring Faith in the Lord and His finished works.
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (Phil. 2:12)
A Fight to the Death
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. (Mat. 11:12)
Presently, Satan is intensifying his attack on Believers because he knows the Lord’s return is imminent. A return that coincides with the greatest time of judgment ever to befall the wicked. And it is a threat to his (I am hearing: agenda) which includes tripping and garnering as many lost souls as he can to inhabit his global kingdoms. Yes, the enemy is intensifying his assaults because he knows his time is short.
Victorious Faith
But be encouraged today in knowing that many more faithful like you who are making their way up have endured many battles (I am hearing:hardships). Some might even have temporarily fallen and back slidden but they never gave up! They persevered in the faith, got up, walked wisely and cautiously on the narrow pathway and forcefully pressed through the obstructive gate of personal breakthroughs. They have finally arrived at the top and are actively resting in Christ. (A dichotomous way of explaining that in the Kingdom inertia does not exist.) In brief, it wasn’t easy for them. And in consideration of the prophetic timetable when Satan is attempting to implement his global kingdoms, neither will it be easy for Believers in coming days.
So for now and wherever on the spiritual mountain a Believer is positioned, it is time to pull up the bootstraps of Faith and climb with renewed vigour and determined strength. We will be so glad and blessed that we did.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him (1 Jn. 4)

In separate visions recently I was shown someone in the shape of a man lifting up in the air people who were downcast; men and women alike. In one particular instant, a woman who had been lifted up had the word “Blessed” written on her head – she looked so joyful.
The One lifting these weary people is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. But without going into a protracted explanation, this vision serves to also remind us that intercessory prayers are effective. Prayers are fragrant petitions requesting the Lord to lift sinners and even discouraged Believers up into newness of life. It is also prayerfully requesting the Lord to raise those in need above all earthly challenges, illnesses, depressions, discouragements and wickedness of this world. The Lord hears prayers! Praise His holy name and thank you Jesus.
Blessed is the Church (woman whose head is covered with blessings) when She earnestly seeks Christ the Lord and takes refuge in Him. Blessed are the praying Intercessors and blessed are the people whom the Lord lifts. In GOD’S spiritual economy, it is a win/win situation that yields results and profits with heavenly interest.
Beautiful visions.
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap. (Ps. 113:7)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. (Prov. 3:5-6)

Today’s message is primarily directed at faithful Leaders who form part of the five fold ministry. On another level, it is also directed at Believers who have been entrusted with various responsibilities in the Body of Christ.
King David and the Census
After having defeated the Ammonites and the Syrians; even after having slain giants, King David did one thing that was very displeasing to GOD. He took a census – he numbered the people of Israel – which had not been ordered by HIM. Regardless of the many explanations and biblical commentaries that have been brought forth, the main reason GOD was displeased was because David had been disobedient. It caused a critical fracture in GOD’S plans for him. David’s disobedience (and I am hearing his Pride) opened cracks through which the enemy entered. It incited him to rely on his own efforts, his own human strength, his own strategies. And it cost him and the Israelites dearly. (1 Chr. 21:1-17)
King Jesus and the Census
During these latter days a great number, a great harvest, of souls will be coming in and with it tremendous responsibilities for those in leadership positions. I am moved to remind the faithful ones that whatever battle you might be confronting during this great time of harvest, GOD is on your side, is in front of you, behind you, in you and above you. HE sees and knows all the tactics of the enemy, all the details of the battle, what you can endure and where you can or cannot go. One day while battling something that was clearly out of my strength and control, the Lord spoke these relieving Words of Wisdom: “Trust Me”. The Lord had released me from the pressure and responsibility that was causing this Believer to become weary. It was a burden that was never mine to carry, regardless of apparent circumstances and the outcome.
In the natural, a census is something that is required by law. And because Jesus Christ came to fulfill the law, we are no longer under legalism. In light of this, the Church – regardless of what roles and offices members occupy – is called to not legalistically nor pridefully lean on its own self merits and efforts during these final days of the great harvest. Yes, it is certainly encouraged to be alert and do its part in battling the enemy who wants to steal, kill and destroy the final harvest. A harvest fit to be numbered only by King Jesus to populate the New Kingdom. But it is, first and foremost, called to acknowledge and trust the Lord in all its ways lest it consequentially steps outside its boundary of responsibilities. If we do our part, Christ the Lord will do His part. Trust Him. Biblical history bears witness to that fact, to that truth.
This is the bread that comes down out of heaven, so that anyone may eat from it and not die. I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats from this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I will give for the life of the world also is My flesh. (Jn. 6:50-51)

Breakfast for Believers
Today in an early morning vision, a sparkling silver bread knife was shown. On the edge of the knife and the top part of its surface appeared bright-colored fruit compote. It was immediately understood that someone had been eating bread with fruit spread. After the vision, the following Word of Knowledge was spoken: ‘Disclose’.
Disclosing the Vision– Our Daily Bread
Bread symbolizes the life-giving Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ. The silver bread knife symbolizes truth revealed in the unadulterated Word concerning Him. (Ps. 12:6) As a food utensil, it is used to spread topping on bread. In this case, it is fruit which is symbolic of the works of the Holy Spirit made available to Believers because of Jesus’ Crucifixion. (Gal. 5:22-26) Briefly noted, when we obediently partake of the Word of Truth and come to the Lord with faith and Belief in His finished works, we become recipients of GOD’S Holy Spirit in so many ways. (Jn. Chapters 14, 15, 16). Not only that! Jesus declared that when we partake of Him, we will also be raised to eternal life at the last day – be it at the time of The Rapture or on our last day on this earth.

Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood (the Lord’s Crucifixion is indispensable to salvation) you have no life in yourselves. (The Holy Spirit made available to us because of Jesus’ finished works on the Cross.) The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father (depicts the inseparable unity of the Father and Son)the one who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. (Will be raised to newness of life on earth and in heaven.) This is the bread that came down out of heaven, not as the fathers ate and died; the one who eats this bread will live forever.” (Jn. 6:52-58)
O Come! See and taste how sweet the Lord is! (Ps. 119:103) 🙂
Taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! (Ps. 34:8)
Keep the Faith. Keep partaking of the Word and keep abiding in the Lord. You will never regret having done so! Faithful Believers, He Will Raise You Up! (Spoken Words of Knowledge) Praise the Lord and thank you Jesus.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom. 6:23)

Paul instructed that Jesus, the great I Am, who was the exact imprint of the FATHER, was also “the image of the invisible GOD” and that “In Him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily. (Col. 1:15, Col. 2:9) Jesus, furthermore, instructed that there is no way to the FATHER but through Him. To know the Son, He said, was to know the FATHER. And that by seeing and knowing Him, the FATHER can also be seen and known. (Jn. 14:6-7) Clearly, there is no denying the Oneness between the Son and the FATHER. (Jn. 10:30) And to deny One is to deny the Other.
The Greatest Love of All
The Love between FATHER and Son is so unfathomable that we cannot, with human faculties, wrap our minds around this truth except through faith. Love is what moved the FATHER to send the Son to earth to overcome the works of the beguiling Serpent on our behalf. Jesus’ Love for His FATHER and for a fallen humanity is what moved Him to obediently go to the Cross of Redemption. And when considering this greatest Love of all, the mystery of what took place on the Cross on that predestined day is understood in greater light.
Temporary Separation
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us who knew no sin (!) that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. (2 Cor. 5:20-21)
Scriptures detail the unthinkable agony Jesus endured during His Crucifixion. And yet something took place that surpasses, if possible, even the deepest imaginations of Jesus’ physical suffering. It is a truth that has yet to be fully understood and is not well taught, if at all, in churches around the world. It can be said that for a temporary moment in time only, the perfect and most holy Lamb who knew no sin, experienced something unprecedented on the Cross.
When the darkness of sin and evil is understood in juxtaposition to GOD’S Light and holiness, a greater revelation of what happened on the Cross dawns on the human mind. And it is this. Darkness cannot coexist with Light as much as sin cannot co-exist with holiness. Scriptures teach that sin is death which is also separation from GOD who is LIFE. And despite Jesus being the exact imprint (I am hearing: Replica) of the FATHER, a temporary veil of separation between FATHER and Son had to have taken place in order to allow redemption to work in the human form. It’s not that the FATHER left HIS Beloved Son alone on the Cross; far from it, their unity and Love are inseparable. It’s that the visible Person of Jesus could no longer behold the invisible PERSON of the FATHER through the darkness of mankind’s sin that was in the process of being redeemed through Him. And with physical human pain, coupled with what could only have been agonizing and blinding separation from His FATHER, our precious Lord cried out: “Father, Father, Why Hath Thou Forsaken Me?”
Permanent Reconciliation
In whose case the god of this world has *blinded* the minds of the unbelieving so that they *might not see* the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, **who is the image of God.** (2 Cor. 4:4)

Praise and rejoice in the Lord! On that fateful day, Jesus dethroned Satan and overturned sin on our behalf through the greatest transference of all by the shedding of His holy and LIFE-giving blood. (Lev. 17:11) Because mankind’s sin caused Jesus to endure temporary separation from His FATHER, His redeeming blood now reconciles exiled, outcast and repentant sinners into a state of unity with HIM. And because mankind’s sin caused the Lord to temporarily lose sight of His FATHER’S presence, His redeeming blood can now bring repentant and sightless sinners into GOD’S presence permanently – eternally. Sin and death had touched the life, the holiness of the Son’s blood and it was destroyed! And that is what Love did for us. Volumes could be written about the sanctifying, healing and redeeming benefits that can flow to mankind because of Jesus’ Crucifixion but is much too extensive to capture in one message.
Seeing the Invisible
The greatest Love of all shows us that sin blinds and separates us from GOD’S invisible presence and truth. But it also importantly brings to our most profound remembrance that during one epic moment in time Amazing Grace stepped up to the plate, to the Cross, through the visible Person of our Beloved Lord Jesus Christ. Indeed, once we were blind but now we see because Of Him (Spoken Word). Glory, praise, honor be to the Lord our Holiness. And thanksgiving be to the FATHER, Son and Holy Spirit; together, they are One gift that makes the complete plan of salvation possible. Faithful Believers are infinitely and eternally blessed!
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves;it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Eph. 2:8-9)
