Freedom from the Law: Embracing Grace

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 

When we are born again, we are made free from the Law of sin and death. Although we are free from the Law, we must still resist the temptation to live by it.

Hebrews 8:13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

By Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, He has made the Law of sin and death obsolete.

1 Corinthians 15:56-57 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The strength of sin is the Law. If we continue living legalistically (by the Law), instead of fully embracing the liberty we have under grace, we strengthen sin’s influence over our lives.

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

The implication here is that if we insist on living by the Law, sin will again gain dominion over us even though we are under the grace of the New Covenant.

Romans 7:7-12 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. 12 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.

Living by the Law allows sin to produce evil desires in us. Which, in turn, gives the enemy more entry points into our thought life. The Law is the primary way the enemy uses the word of God against us.  

Verse 11 states that sin uses the Law to take the opportunity to deceive me and eventually kill me.

It is impossible to be justified by keeping the Law. It is impossible to be sanctified by keeping the Law. In fact, the Law is a hindrance to our sanctification.

Galatians 3:19-25  What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one.

21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. 22 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

The purpose of the Law is not to make us righteous, but to magnify sin to expose our transgressions and see our need for a Savior. The Law was actually made to be broken so man could see the magnitude of his fallen condition. By following the Law, we were guarded against judgment every year by the sacrifices of animals. We are no longer being guarded by the law.

The law was our tutor until we came to Christ. The tutor is a teacher. So, what does the Law teach us? It teaches us that we can never meet the requirements of righteousness and holiness in our own strength and effort. Now that we are in Christ, we are no longer under the tutelage of the Law, and we are made righteous and holy in Christ’s strength and His efforts if we believe in Him and remain in Him.

Colossians 2:13-15 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

Jesus wiped out the Law with its stringent requirements, which were against us. The Law was not for us, it was contrary to us. Jesus nailed the Law to the cross.

If we continue to live by the Law, we empower sin and arm principalities and powers of the enemy with the very tools they need to shipwreck our faith. We must die to the Law as much as we have died to sin. The Law is not of Faith, and it is impossible to please God without Faith. So, God is not pleased when we live by the Law.

Galatians 2:16-21 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

17 “But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19 For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”

We destroyed the power of Law and sin over our lives by accepting Christ as our Lord and Savior. If we insist on living by Law, we “build again those things which we destroyed, we willfully make ourselves a transgressor” by setting aside God’s grace.”

Galatians 3:10-14 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

James 2:8-10 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. 

We can’t live and walk by faith while remaining under the Law. If we try to live by the Law in even one point, we are obligated to fulfill all the requirements of the Law (even animal sacrifice).

1 Timothy 1:9-11 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.

We are made righteous in the sight of God when we accept Jesus Christ’s substitutionary work. Keeping the Law can’t make us any more righteous than we already are. The Law is no longer made for us when we become righteous by faith in Christ. It doesn’t fit, it doesn’t make sense, and it sets aside, or “frustrates” the grace of God.

Galatians 4:21-31 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27 For it is written:

“Rejoice, O barren, You who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children than she who has a husband.”

28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. 29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.

This allegory tells us that we must cast out the Law if we are to receive our inheritance in Christ.

Romans 7:1-4 Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man. Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. 

We are dead to the Law through the body of Christ, just as much as we are dead to sin. What happens when we insist on living by the Law after we have been born again?

We are legally married. We had a ceremony. We said our vows. But we never have the honeymoon to consummate the marriage. We are legally married, but we don’t become one flesh; we don’t truly become one with Christ by faith.

Galatians 5:1-4 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. 

We must stand fast in the liberty of New Testament grace and not entangle ourselves in Old Testament Law in even one point. If we do, we become estranged from Christ and fall from grace.

This is a terrible scenario, yet much of the Church is in this condition by practicing Old Testament Laws like circumcision, keeping a weekly sabbath, and tithing, just to name a few. When will the Church open her eyes and live by faith?

A Vision of the End: JESUS IS COMING!

This is a vision I had of end-time events that I believe will soon come to pass.

This resulted from several visions and prophetic experiences I had around the end of July and the beginning of August 2021. This is a warning to the Body of Christ for this season. I have struggled with posting this. These visions and experiences came with strong personal correction as well as great encouragement from the Lord. When the correction and discipline felt overwhelming, He provided comfort and encouragement by revealing different aspects of His Love I was not familiar with and showing me how much He loves me.

These encounters challenged my beliefs and changed my views on many things. I pray that only His truth will be revealed in this, not my ideas. Amen.

I take this seriously. I have no agenda other than trying my best to obey the Lord. My goal is to adequately steward what He has given me. There is plenty that I don’t yet understand. Please read this prayerfully. Trust the Spirit of God in you. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

The seventh trumpet (the LAST trumpet) marks the beginning of the “Day of the Lord.” That Great Day is not a single day as we would understand it. I don’t know how long it is. It seemed to be under a year after the seventh trumpet started to blow.

Here is a portion of what I saw play out at the trumpet blast. This came from several visions and prophetic experiences over nine days.

The Lord showed me that the “Elect” referred to in the book of Revelation are the ones chosen to be alive in the generation when Jesus returns. Christians look at this season of time and view it as a time of darkness and great despair. Heaven sees it as a magnificent time in human history. To be clear, the Elect refers to the Church and the 144000 combined. Both groups of people have the high honor of going through the greatest tribulation the world has ever seen and shining through it all, bringing God great glory. It is one of the greatest honors ever given to man. The entire Host of Heaven and the great cloud of witnesses are wide-eyed in anticipation of seeing this Revelation of Jesus Christ play out. I was shocked when He showed me this because I was taught for decades the doctrine of a pre-tribulation rapture. It’s not happening.

The Word of the Lord came to me and said:

“The greatest outpouring of my Spirit the world has ever seen will only come with great tribulation. If my people are not braced and prepared for what’s coming, they are far more likely to mishandle the anointing and be crushed by the trials.”

Much of the Church has been praying for revival and the outpouring of the Spirit as promised in scripture. Tribulation comes with it—the greater the tribulation, the more incredible the outpouring.

The Lord revealed to me that one of the purposes of saving the 144000 is for God’s righteous judgment on Israel and those who refused to repent before the last trumpet begins to blow.

Revelation 10:7 but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.

This 7th trumpet blast lasts for a long, long time. We see in Revelation 10 that the trumpet blast lasts for “days.” It lasted for months, from what I could tell from the visions and images I saw. Once the last trumpet starts to blow, the Lord hardens all unbelievers like He did Pharaoh. Immediately the demons on the Earth will attach themselves to the hardened people. Once the last trumpet starts to blow, there will be no more “salvations” for the Gentiles—only the saving of the 144000.

In a separate vision, the Lord showed me the mystery of “the restrainer,” which I will write about soon. The restrainer has to do with the number of the Gentiles being fulfilled. The restrainer is not the Holy Spirit, nor the Church, as I had been taught previously. It is a mighty angel.

Just before the trumpet blast, or possibly at the same time, (I couldn’t tell) God marks the 144000 on their foreheads. This is not seen in their physical bodies. They are marked in the spirit realm so that all demons are acutely aware of who they are. The mark brings great terror to the demons. God does this to protect His Remnant. The 144000 are His remnant.

The 144000 are marked but not yet saved. Demonized people will flee in terror when they get too close to one of them; at this time, almost all people are demonized to some degree, even a large portion of the Church.

I saw crowds of demonized people watching those marked on their foreheads in terror from a distance. They kept their distance because the demons in them would not let them get too close. They didn’t understand why they were so afraid of these people, and the 144000 were also perplexed at why this was happening. In the beginning, the 144000 are not even aware they are marked. They don’t yet understand who they are because none of them has been born again yet. This goes on for what seems to be about a month and a half to two months. There is great confusion and turmoil throughout the Earth. Great terror fills the people as Satan pours out his wrath on mankind, causing people to turn inward and act like brute beasts.

The 144000 will be devout Jewish believers who deny that Christ is the Messiah. They will sincerely love God, but not according to knowledge. God’s great love and mercy toward these individuals is seemingly tangible. He takes them and marks them to protect them. The Lord told me they represent the original natural branches that were cut off from the Vine so the Gentiles could be grafted in. They will be grafted back into the olive root. The Lord emphasized to me that this is His Remnant.

The 144000 will be spared from Satan’s full wrath and be tormented by only a few specific demons of confusion during the tribulation, but will never be threatened with death. I perceived that Satan somehow has a unique strategy for deceiving the 144000 and will vigorously attack their minds. Somehow, he can torment their thoughts without getting close to them. I did not understand this strategy, but their torment will continue until every last one of the 144000 confesses Jesus as Lord.

The Lord showed me that through Christ’s name alone is the only way into Heaven, and God won’t violate His word, chosen Remnant or not. They ALL must confess Jesus as Lord, and Christ’s return is held back until they all confess Him as Lord.

The 144000 will have one of the highest places of honor in Heaven. As soon as one of them is born again, God imparts a supernatural revelation of their identity that far surpasses anything the Church has attained in history. They will understand who they are in Christ, far beyond what even the apostle Paul understood. They will understand mercy and grace like we never have. The Lord’s love for His Remnant is overwhelming to the 144000. They realize that they had absolutely nothing to do with their salvation. The humility this Revelation births in them is a beautiful thing to see, yet impossible to describe. They understand that the last shall be first, and they realize they are the last.

This incredible process of saving all of the 144000 Jews would take a few months. They will continue to suffer in the great tribulation, and the Church will suffer with them. The Elect will be the “gold tried in the fire.” The 144000 will watch the Church being tried, tested, tortured, abused, and killed while going through the process I will describe now. Some of the most remarkable testimonies and God’s greatest glory will come from these last-day Saints. Some of the most privileged positions in Heaven are reserved for the Elect.

The 144000 are born again

I was allowed to see the first man of the 144000 Jews come to believe in Jesus and give his heart to the Lord. I saw darkness leave him like a physical thing flee as the light of God exploded in his heart. I saw the incredible burden of suffering and deception lifted from him, the light in his eyes, the expression on his face. I could tell that he was completely free, freer than anyone I had ever known or seen. I knew that nothing would hurt or move him from his belief. He was born again, yet he did not have to walk out his salvation as we do. His sinful nature was utterly silenced, and the carnal man was crucified entirely. He was clothed in Christ completely and had an air of royalty about him. His presence alone demanded respect.

His Revelation of son-ship was complete from the start. Love seemed to be perfected in him at his conversion. It was the greatest eye-opening, ah-ha moment I have ever witnessed. It turned him into a pillar of faith and hope for all of the Church. My thought was, this is what Adam was like before his fall, or like Jesus was when He walked the Earth.

It was like God imparted an understanding and maturity into him from the start. Still, at the same time, he had an air of incredible child-likeness about him. It was apparent he had complete and absolute trust in the One who just saved him. This experience is similar for every one of the 144000.

Once converted, each one understands that the rest of the 144000 must be found and converted quickly. They begin to seek out others who have experienced demonized people running from them, and the salvation conversions increase rapidly.

Every one of the Remnant has this incredible, spectacular experience of awakening to new life. Each conversion is a unique and dramatic event for the individual and for all those who witness this born-again experience. The Church and the 144000 marvel at every conversion and watch the transformations with great anticipation. All of Heaven echoes the celebration with an energy and enthusiasm that is marvelous to witness. Heaven and Earth celebrate every conversion like it’s the most remarkable event in the history of man because, in God’s eyes, it is.

I sit here and weep at the beauty of all this and the conviction of my own heart for taking salvation for granted. I watched my three sons being born and was privileged to experience the crazy emotions, the anticipation, and the incredible joy of each birth. As great as those moments were, they pale in comparison to what I saw at the conversions of the 144000. Life is to be celebrated, and we haven’t begun to understand that.

It seemed to only take a few months from that first confession of Jesus to the final one of the 144000 to believe. The urgency of the 144000 is fueled by the Revelation of who they are in Bible prophecy and the anticipation of each conversion event. The Church will also catch the Revelation of who the 144000 are and help find the rest of the Remnant.

They begin to keep a rough head count on these incredible conversions as much as possible, which quickly becomes a hunt for the last man. They know that God will come for His Bride when the last of the 144000 is born again. The Revelation of son-ship for 144000 becomes a great encouragement to the Church and births great faith for those believers who are being persecuted for Christ.

I saw many prominent ministers with multiple private jets. They will be a big part of the network that tracks down and finds the last of the 144000 scattered throughout the Earth. They are a part of God’s end-time plan. God allows the deception of the so-called prosperity gospel as a part of His grand plan. Somehow, God has this complex infrastructure prepared that we are not even aware of yet. His strategies will become evident to all very soon. During the tribulation, there will be a progressive unveiling of who God is to the world. I am talking about how He thinks, how He sees us, and a revealing of His great love that will overwhelm all who believe. It will bring hope and strength to many who are weak.

The Lord revealed this passage to me as I wrote some of this.

Jeremiah 50:4 “In those days and in that time, declares the Lord, the people of Israel and the people of Judah shall come together, weeping as they come, and they shall seek the Lord their God. 

The Seventh Trumpet blast is a physically audible sound and continues for months, driving the demonized people mad. Everyone on Earth will hear it. The Elect will recognize the trumpet for what it is. It will be a sound of hope to those who have the Spirit. The sound of that continual trumpet blast strengthens the Church to walk through the fire of tribulation. The long trumpet blast seems to be an expression of God’s great mercy to the Bride of Christ so that she can strengthen herself to “love not her own life unto death.”

The unity of the Faith will be accomplished during this time. We can only prepare for it on this side of the trumpet. It is the bride without spot or wrinkle that He is returning for. This unity empowers the Church with such strength and resolve that they become the greatest army the world has ever seen, fully clothed in God’s armor, unchangeable, unmovable. There will be many glorious deaths for the Church, and some of the most significant rewards in Heaven will be granted to them.

It is God’s great love and mercy that started this. It will be His great Love and compassion that finishes it. We are here for His good pleasure and were made for that purpose.

The world will witness the 144000 loving and serving God and hate them for it, but won’t be able to kill them because of the names on their foreheads.

They will walk the Earth virtually untouchable. They can’t be killed. Some will try to kill them from a distance, but God continually brings strong delusions on the attackers, and their weapons and plans will turn against them. The hardened, demonized masses will label them as aliens, and many unbelievers will begin to worship them.

For others, every negative thing happening on the planet will be blamed on the 144000. They will stand out as a people radically different and unique, and they will model the royalty that we were all created to be from the beginning. The 144000 can’t be killed, so Satan pours his wrath out on the Church instead. The spirit of accusation will pour forth on the Church as Satan’s bitterness, anger, and great rage will increase on the unbelievers.

I have seen some of the terrible things we must face, and I will not share them; however, the more He shows me, the more excited I become. We can bring Him such great glory in these times, shining bright for His great name in the middle of the tribulation. This is where faith shines the brightest. I now see how blessed we are to live in these times. It is such a high honor. I welcome it with anticipation and the fear of the Lord. I know that it is only by His grace that I can see it this way.

The Church is currently in a season of correction. We must all judge ourselves and allow the Holy Spirit to correct and adjust us so we can become the bride without spots or wrinkles. Somehow, I understood that He is responsible for our great faith. We honestly can do nothing but cooperate and yield to the great potter. It will take great faith just to remain pliable clay.

When Abraham sent his servant to find a bride for Isaac, the child of promise, he showered her with gifts to prepare her to meet the bridegroom. Our Father will do the same thing with the bride of Christ. This is the outpouring we’ve been praying for all these years. It is these incredible gifts that the Father will pour out on the Church so that she shines her brightest in the darkest time in human history. The Father will get great glory, and some of the most significant rewards in Heaven will be given to those who overcome during this time. WE ARE BLESSED!!

 There are three prevailing doctrines on the rapture and when it takes place. Before these experiences, I believed in a pre-tribulation rapture for over 30 years. Not anymore. He showed me how it was a doctrine of devils that we have been deceived with to keep us from being prepared for what is coming. The Lord has confirmed everything He has shown me in His word. It is actually very simple. We have to make things very complicated to believe in a pre-trib rapture.

The rapture won’t happen until the last of the Remnant confesses Jesus as Lord. I believe this will happen a little less than a year after the last trumpet starts to blow, about 4.5 years into the tribulation from what He has shown me. The instant the last of the Remnant believes in Jesus, we will be caught up together with Him in the twinkling of an eye. As we disappear, the trumpet stops. This is what the Lord meant when He said the days would be shortened for the Elect’s sake.  After the catching away the Earth is in great darkness, awaiting the wrath of God for 1000 years

People think the tribulation is the wrath of God. It is not. It is the wrath of man and the wrath of the enemy. God’s wrath only lasts for a brief moment, and we are not appointed to that.

Satan’s final act of vengeance, after his 1000-year imprisonment, is to use the people left on Earth to fight the final battle against the Lord, but that will be a quick fight. Faith has already won the victory. That is all I will say about that.

In 2017 the Lord corrected me about reading too many books about the Bible. He interrupted me while I was reading a book by a famous Christian author and specifically told me to “stop eating leavened bread.” (He was referring to reading books about the Bible) He clarified that I was only to read the Bible and call no man on Earth my teacher. (Matthew 23:8-10) This is my conviction, and I am not implying this is God’s will for everyone. I have been faithful to that instruction, and I believe that simple act of obedience opened the door for some of these things to be revealed. I don’t feel the need to be right about any of this; I am just trying my best to obey Him.

Many of the things He showed me were strategies of Satan to deceive God’s people. The primary way Satan is deceiving God’s people is by flooding the Earth with diverse teachings about the Bible. This has led people to seek and prefer the instructions of men. As a result, God’s people have abandoned a personal, intimate relationship with the Father and forsaken studying the Bible for themselves. This has led us to become the Church with itchy ears described in 2 Timothy.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

Consider this: A slow reader can read through the Bible in 100 hours or less. We can listen to the Bible being read to us in less than 80 hours. This alone tells us how little we value the Bible and how much we neglect His written word. That being said, I have a healthy and growing respect for the word of God, and I post this in fear of the Lord.

The 7th trumpet is the LAST one. There will not be another.

These are just some of the events that I saw transpire at the last trumpet, at least the ones that I am fairly clear on. I believe God is preparing us for what is coming.

All experiences and revelations should be judged. Please seek the Lord for yourself on these things. I would not share this unless I believed He wanted me to. I do this with a trembling heart. I am sure I don’t understand all of this completely, but I am just relaying what I saw.

I have shared this with leaders and ministers I respect. I have confirmation from some; others have rejected this word and me. Some wouldn’t even have a conversation with me when I reached out for help to process these encounters. I’m not crazy, and don’t feel the need to be right about this, but I know God is right, and I am not going to argue with Him.

If I am wrong, I sincerely want to know. If I am right, we need to strengthen ourselves for what is coming.

JESUS IS COMING!

End Time Vision: The Last Great Outpouring

This is a follow-up post to a Vision of The End: JESUS IS COMING! I do not wish to teach anything unbiblical, nor do I want to be a stumbling block to anyone. I did not understand these things before the Lord showed them to me in a series of visions. Truthfully, I still don’t understand much of it. That being said, please read this prayerfully. I am a man, and I can make mistakes. However, I have yet to disprove any of this from scripture, but I have found many things to confirm it. I would not be posting this if I weren’t sure the Lord wanted me to. Trust the Spirit in you.

The Lord has given me details about near-future events. The constant theme in all these encounters is the need for humility in the Body of Christ. There is also the urgency to prepare for the great tribulation. We need to be ready. Moreover, there is a call for a changed perspective on God Himself.

We are far too familiar with a God we barely know. The revelation of Jesus Christ to the world is at hand, and no one is ready for what is coming. Truthfully, no one will be. The mystery of the gospel is being revealed in all its manifold glory, and we are privileged to participate.

These things came to me over several days in August 2021. Here are a few things I am clear about.

I had seen glimpses in my Spirit of a huge being that was human-like but shaped a little differently. He held what appeared to be a smoking big bowling ball hanging from a thick, short chain. I realized later this being was an angel. He was very thick and muscular, very wide with a round muscular belly. He held the chain a few links from the end in his left hand at about waist level. With his right hand, he held up the other end of the chain about shoulder high, and about five links hung from his raised hand with the big ball swinging back and forth. Thick billowing smoke poured off the big ball as he continued to swing it back and forth. it seemed that his intention was to spread this smoke around.

This image kept coming back to me for days. Every time I would go to pray, I would see it for a few seconds. It was like looking through some filter. This filter made things blurry and nondescript. This blurry filter, combined with the thick smoke, prevented me from seeing many details. Then, the Lord told me to read over Revelation again. When I got to Chapter 8:3, my eyes were opened.

Revelation 8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne, and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the Earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

The Lord gave me an understanding as I read this. It was this angel I saw in my vision. I then had another vision and got a clearer glimpse of this angel. This time the blurry filter was off, and I could now see everything in color and clarity.

This angel is a big fellow! I was struck by the awesomeness of his presence and the shape and obvious power of this creature. I could not estimate his height reasonably because there was nothing familiar to compare it to. Still, a conservative guess would be 8 to 10 ft. tall, possibly much taller. He was huge, looked extremely powerful, and he was barefoot. He was also bald and had an enormous, round belly corded with muscle, but not shaped exactly like a man. His skin was glowing white and reflected the fire from the altar before God’s throne. For some reason, I noticed he didn’t have a belly button. As soon as I thought that, I understood that a belly button is the mark of a son of man. DUH! This guy wasn’t born; he was created just for this purpose.

He was dressed only with something around his waist. It looked like a bronze-colored kilt with wide gold trim around the waist and bottom. It was pleated and fell just below mid-thigh. The ball and chain I was seeing was the golden censer. At first, I couldn’t see that it was gold. There was a hole at the top, obscured by all the smoke pouring off it.

The angel stood before a golden altar filled with burning coals. The angel would keep leaving and returning. He would approach the altar and then turn and walk toward the Earth. It seemed as if he was standing in Heaven, and the Earth was being viewed through some type of portal. When he returned, he walked behind the altar. He held up the smoking censer. The Father smelled the smoke. I couldn’t see the Father’s face; it was somehow obscured, but I could clearly tell what He was doing.

Somehow, I knew that the censer contained specific prayers for the last great outpouring, as we call it. Heaven calls it something else, but I have yet to discern what that is. The censer had to be filled until it gave off a specific aroma. I am not sure what smell God is looking for; however, I understood that the scent also has a particular name. He kept smelling it each time the angel brought it back. He was testing it like a chef tastes a dish to see if it is right. I knew by the Spirit that this is what is happening right now, in Heaven, as I write this. December 2021. Then I saw the future.

God smelled the censer, and it was finally pleasing to Him. He gave the big angel a command which I did not understand. The angel then stepped up to the altar. He dragged the golden censer through the burning altar. He scooped up hot coals. The censer was now on fire and was no longer smoking. It looked like it was dripping with lava.

The angel then turned and squared himself off, looking at the Earth through this strange portal. The view was similar to what the Earth looks like from the moon, only closer. With one big swing, the angel threw that censer at the Earth. When it hit, it exploded into many little balls of fire covering the planet. As I watched these little fireballs be distributed around the Earth, He showed me what this means.

The little fireballs from the exploded censer are specific mantles of anointing. This is not an outpouring of the Spirit as we would understand it. It is not like any “move of God” previously known. These mantles are specifically for the empowerment of the Elect. The Elect are all those alive during the great tribulation. These mantles are the lavish gifts He pours out on the bride just before she meets the Bridegroom.

God showed me that this is the same thing Abraham’s servant, Eliezer, did for Rebekah. He assisted her and blessed her abundantly before she was presented to Isaac for marriage. God is pouring out these lavish gifts on the bride of Christ before she is presented to His Son, Jesus.

There will be so many of these mantles on the Earth that not even half of them will be used or even needed during the great tribulation. It is just more of God’s extravagant love poured out for us. Many will pick up a mantle, use it for the purpose God intended, and then pick up another. Some will carry many mantles. Each time a person carries a mantle, the mystery of the gospel becomes clearer to them. It also becomes clearer to all they minister to. The fire from these mantles helps to reveal the mysteries of who God is. His character, His great love, His divine purpose.

God is beginning to do this with apostles and prophets worldwide right now in a measure. Still, using these mantles brings a much clearer and more precise revelation of who He is. Words can’t describe some of the things that will be revealed.

The Lord showed me that all these prayers in the golden censer are being prayed the best we know how. The Church is currently shrouded in the smoke. The smoke represents deception, but also represents divine mystery. The smoke keeps getting thicker and deeper. Overall, prayer gets less and less effective throughout the Earth. Yet, with God’s help, we somehow successfully invite Him to His own Son’s wedding. He keeps smelling the invitation (smoke from the censer). He continues until it has the aroma He likes. Then He “RSVP’s” with the mantles. I laughed out loud and cried for joy when He showed me this.

You may have heard the expression, “Where there is smoke, there is fire.” The Lord showed me that much smoke means the fire is going out (much mystery). He reminded me of Isaiah 42

“A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth. He will not fail nor be discouraged, Till He has established justice in the Earth; And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”

Just like I couldn’t tell what the great ball and chain was because of the smoke, the Church doesn’t know who she is. The fire is going out, and she is shrouded in smoke. The gospel has been shrouded in mystery by God’s own design. However, it is also shrouded in deception. This is because of the false doctrines of men, the doctrines of devils, and preaching a self-serving gospel. We have all been guilty to some degree. We have become an itchy-eared, divided people. Every denomination is foolishly prideful of its doctrines and practices while thinking less of those with other beliefs. We are working against the very Peace of God that brings the unity of faith and strengthens the body of Christ.

The Church is almost entirely unaware of her blindness, but the lights are getting ready to come on!

One of the constant themes that keeps getting emphasized to me in these encounters is that none of us understands but a little piece of this great mystery. I was so broken when God began revealing to me the errors in my beliefs and the doctrines that I had taught and defended for decades. I felt like I had been deceived, and I had, by my own heart. I saw the error and arrogance in myself and the Church. At first, I despised those who taught me and held them responsible for my twisted beliefs. It turned my world upside down for a while. Then the weight of what He was showing me humbled me to tears and repentance.

I now see that the one issue God was putting His finger on was my pride. It was also the pride of the Church. It has led Many professing Christians to commit the unpardonable sin spoken of in Mathew 12, which we have all misunderstood. He has had his finger on that passage for years, trying to get me to see. I couldn’t see it for the smoke. In these encounters with the Lord, He has given me an understanding of the unpardonable sin. I will write and teach about it in detail very soon. It is simple, yet shocking!

It hit me when the Lord showed me the mystery of the seventh trumpet. I realized how prideful I was. I defended a pre-tribulation position. This position was a plan of Satan to render much of the Church ineffective in the great tribulation. I saw that man’s need to be “right” can make him miss righteousness altogether. I noticed that when I am conscious of the failings and sins of others, there are things in my own heart that are not right.

Without humility, the smoke gets really thick! So thick that we can look into the mirror of God’s word and not be able to see ourselves clearly. Pride puts a smoke screen on the mystery of who we are in Christ.

We can no longer allow ourselves to stumble over what people are “not.” We must celebrate who God created them to be and teach them to embrace that reality. We must honor their journey and help them along the way. We can’t do it with finger-pointing and blame-shifting. Only loving God and people in our lives and sharing the truth of who He is will set people free, and we can’t even do that unless He helps us with it.

JESUS IS COMING! Please take it seriously!

Love, Hospitality, and Stewardship. Understanding 1 Peter 4:7-11

1 Peter 4:7-11 (NKJV) But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. 10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

I love this passage of scripture!

vs. 7-The end of ALL THINGS is at hand;” Do you see that? Do you believe it?

I think we all know how to be serious when we pray but do you know how to be watchful while praying? Are you rattling off a laundry list of needs, talking to someone you can’t see so you never actually expect God to talk back? Are you entering into prayer with an expectation of conversation and interaction and watching for how God responds to you?

Vs. 8- “And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” 

We know how love behaves and how love responds according to 1 Cor 13.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails….

To be fervent in love we must intentionally control how we behave and respond to others, denying our fleshly responses and allowing the Holy Spirit to minister the life of God through us. We must realize we are representing our Lord Jesus Christ. As we practice this we are transformed into the living Word that saves us.  

To love fervently and consistently we must pursue intimacy with the Father through prayer and the written word of God. We are only capable of loving others to the degree we can receive and understand the Father’s love. As we wash ourselves with His holy Word His love is revealed and understood, increasing our capacity to love others. The fruit of who God is begins to pour forth from your life.

vs. 9- “Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

Being hospitable is easy, but can you do it without complaining about how hard it is? Or why don’t more people help you? Can you work with others who challenge your patience or have abrasive personalities and do it without speaking negatively about the experience?

vs. 10- As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”

What are your graces? Did you know that grace is a way God equips you? It gives you the supernatural ability to find and fulfill your purpose on Earth. When we minister our grace to others it helps equip them to do the same.

What are you naturally good at? What are the first things you think about when trying to help people? What do you love to do that involves other people? What is the first thing you think about when praying for others? These are all questions that can help find your primary grace or graces.

We are to steward God’s grace, sharing our strengths and abilities by ministering to others. As we engage in this community exchange, we become a living expression of God. This expression is far more than just the sum of its parts. What seemed a natural ability transforms when joined with others of like faith. It becomes a supernatural expression of God’s love and goodness.

vs. 11- If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Verse 11 reminds us that it is not about us, but Christ and others. We should never be prideful or arrogant about our God-given gifts and abilities. What we have that is good came from Him. What we do, we do for Him and others.
