COME OUT OF BABYLON

Come out of her My sons and daughters today! If you claim to follow Me and be one of My sheep, I say to you COME OUT OF Babylon TODAY!  Many of you are hearing the calling of My spirit, and know without a doubt that you can not continue to operate in the parameters you have been operating in anymore. There is a movement of My spirit across the lands, a tide so to speak, as I gently but authoritatively draw you out of enemy strongholds. Many are feeling that things are changing, and something is happening in the spiritual realm that is pulling you away and closer to Me. Your prayers are being heard and I am assembling My army as I have been speaking about for several months now. Those who are listening and are spending time with Me every day, who are placing Me first and foremost in all they do, you are being strategically placed in the areas I want you to minister in and with the people you are to join with during these momentous days spoken of by My prophets. Continue to listen for My instructions. All that is not of Me will indeed fall. One of the enemies greatest accomplishments has been from the beginning of My church, to create divisions through denominations. My church so quickly became consumed with traditions and doctrines and rites of passage, that they forgot why I was here and what I had taught you to do. When I walked on this earth with My disciples, I taught you ways that are Kingdom ways, and these ways are simple My friends. I walked and supped with you, talked with you, ministered to your needs, and prayed with you. This is all I have ever wanted Our body to be about. We had communion. We had relationship. I did not try to organize anything, I embodied LOVE and that encompassed all. This still holds true dear people. My ways are right and true and pure. I am calling up a people now that lays down separation, division, and vain attempts to feign church as you have known it to be for so long. You know who you are now, and all I require is that you ask My Holy Spirit to reveal to you the giftings and direction that I have created you for in this moment now. Do not fear to step out into this calling, for it is finally time to move! The paradigms of your societies are shifting quickly, and you must flow into your next purpose with authority, and with peace, knowing I direct all your moves. I will have a body of unity again, like days of old, a body that is effectual in leading and ministering and healing, for many multitudes will soon flock to you. They will come because it is My light, and My love permeating your spirit, and they will see that I am real, and that I come for all. Pray unceasingly for discernment, as I will be bringing you into places and with the people I will have you minister with. Forget the ways of the past, and church as you have known it. I will show you My true meaning of unity, and oneness in the spirit. How marvelous it will be for you to experience that for which you were created! Oh the joy that will supercede all you've ever known. Watch for Me in ways you've never expected before. I am ever-present! Do not fear that you will not be made aware of the direction you should take. If you have surrendered all to Me, there is nothing to worry about. You will hear My voice, and you will be comforted. I have never left you alone, why would I do so now? I will manifest in powerful ways amongst you and My glory will be known throughout the earth. The darkness must flee around you when I am present. Remember to whom you belong. Pray for the people I will place you together with to be put into their positions, pray for divine meetings, and My purpose to now manifest in your lives. Nothing is coincidence or happenstance. I am moving in every moment and each circumstance and situation in your lives is going to reflect My flow. Be ever so careful not to hinder this movement by allowing distractions and things of the world to creep back in. Remove yourself continually from this world, and unite your spirit with Me in the spirit realm. In doing this, you will know what Heaven is about at this time. You will have no problem understanding and walking step in step with My plans. My ways are so simple, and so pure. You have entered into a time that will indeed be very dark, and very painful for those who have rejected Me and My love for them. You will see much in these days, and much of it will not be easy to experience. There will be those that are unreachable, those whose hearts are too hardened to My message, those you will watch perish without knowing the hope I have offered them. Your hearts will break because of this, and you will also experience the sadness that I do when this occurs. Because We are one, We feel the same. There will be much work to be done however, so you must continue to move and minister and reach out to the lost as these earth changes occur.Feed My sheep. My will, My plan, will be accomplished. The fate of many has already been sealed. The things I have put in motion will now increase in intensity, do not be alarmed at how fiercely they come. Your world will shake mightily and violently.I have spoken it before many times, through many people, I will not be mocked.  I have given many visions and messages and pictures so that My chosen will know what to expect. It is not for you to know the details of what I am doing, only that much, much must occur in order to expose the darkness, the lies, the deception and the wickedness. I am separating the sheep from the goats, the wheat from the chaff, and if you are not grounded in Me, you will not stand. Do not become consumed with how things will play out. This is only another way the enemy keeps your focus off of Me. Stay in the Word, pray, pray, pray, and continue to love others as I love them. This is My command. Be obedient, be faithful. Pay close attention to what is happening in the spiritual realm.You will very soon see a large and destructive war, and this is no surprise as it has been prophesied in My Word. Many will perish. When you see this, you will know that I am so very close to My second coming. The man of perdition will be exposed. Pray My people that you will see him for who he is, and that you would not be deceived. Sadly, many of the elect will be, as they only know Me superficially, and have not the intimacy with Me that I desire. This is another reason it is so important to come out of babylon, walk away from anyone or anything that is not directly speaking from My holy Word. I am not religion, I want a relationship with every one of you. Speak repentance to all. Tell them of My mercy and My grace and My love for them. Do not bring them fear about what must happen on the earth, these changes that are coming. Simply speak love, love, love. I thank you all for answering this call, and for your obedience at this time. With all of My love,

Messiah, King of the Universe

John 10:1-30

King James Version (KJV)

10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

² But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
³ To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
⁴ And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
⁵ And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
⁶ This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
⁷ Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
⁸ All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
⁹ I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
¹⁰ The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
¹¹ I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
¹² But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
¹³ The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
¹⁴ I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
¹⁵ As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
¹⁶ And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
¹⁷ Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
¹⁸ No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
¹⁹ There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
²⁰ And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
²¹ Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
²² And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
²³ And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
²⁴ Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
²⁵ Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
²⁶ But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
²⁸ And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
²⁹ My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
³⁰ I and my Father are one.

John 21:16-17

¹⁶ He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
¹⁷ He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

 THE DAYS OF TESHUVAH (Return or Repentance):

 On Elul 1(August or September - 6 months after Passover, which is the first month of Abib). This starts 30 days before the Feast of Trumpets. Feast of Trumpets is Tshri 1 (7th Month - September or October - in the 7th month. Remember Passover is in Abib, or Nissan, the first month) The days of Teshuvah, or days of Repentance, ends Tshri 10 - on Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement, (total of 40 days). The 40 days of Teshuvah, is a time of returning and repenting before The LORD. During those 40 days, and especially the last 10, and most particularly the LAST day of Yom Kippur, we prepare our heart by seeking forgiveness, through repentance. The last 10 days - the 10 days starting wth the Feast of Trumpets and ending with the Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, are known as the Days of Awe.


DAY OR FEAST OF TRUMPETS (Rosh HaShanah or Yom Teruach) Num 29:1; Lev 23:23-25: 

 On Tishri 1. Rosh HaShanah means "head of the year." According to Jewish tradition, on this day the gates of heaven are opened, (Rev 3:7-11). Tradition has it as the anniversary of the creation of the world and the beginning of the Kingdom of HaShem (God), Adam and Eve were created, the flood waters dried up, Enoch was taken by the LORD; Sarah, Rachel, and Samuel were conceived, Joseph was freed from prison by Pharaoh, forced labor of Hebrews in Egypt ended, Job contracted leprosy, the start of sacrifices on the altar built by Ezra. According to Jewish tradition all of those events happened on Tishri 1. The Feast of Trumpets is celebrated by blowing trumpets (shofar) 100 times to announce the setting up of The LORD's eternal court.
The sounding of the shofar reminds us of the binding of Isaac by his father Abraham, and we too must be willing to make such sacrifices. On this day we reaffirm our acceptance of The LORD as our King, and He judges all of His human creatures on this day and decides on their fate in the coming year. It is the first month of the new civil year. These 10 days are called the Days of Awe or High Holy Days. This was also the time to bring all of your tithe (10th) for the poor, widows, orphans, and the Levite priest who have no inheritance. Over these 10 days the wheat will be brought in on the threshing floor and separated from the chaff. This 2-day feast comes AT A DAY AND HOUR NO MAN KNOWS and you are not required to go up to the temple on this day. a. This is the day set up to remember the blowing of trumpets when the great sign appeared in the heavens of the announcement of Yeshua’s birth (Lion of Judah), which the Chaldean astronomers had been watching, and waiting for, for over four hundred years, (Rev.12:1-2). b. Will be the announcement of Yeshua’s second coming and the Resurrection of the Saints, (IThess 4:16,17). c. Will be the end of Jacob’s trouble, (Jer 30:7). d. Will be the end of first Gog Magog War at the start of the millennial reign of King Yeshua. 

 DAY OF ATONEMENT (Yom Kippur) Lev 16:29; 23:26-32: 

 On Tishri 10. Will end the 70th week of Daniel 9, and the culmination of the prophecy of Daniel. It is the final day of the 10 Days of Awe. This is the most solemn and holy day in the Jewish year and is spent Fasting, Praying, and Confession of Sins. Yom Kippur is the only REQUIRED FAST day of the year, in the Holy Bible. Yom Kippur is the day the chaff was burned up on the threshing floor on the temple mount, and this is the day the gates of heaven are closed, (Rev 3:7-11), and those who are not atoned for, will be judged. According to ancient Jewish tradition, this is the day when the sealing angel of Ezekiel 9, Rev 7:2-3, and Rev 9:4, is sent forth to seal the people of God. a. Originally this was the only day of the year, that the high priest could enter the veil, into the Holy of Holies, to make atonement for the sins of the nation, by sacrificing an animal and placing 7 drops of blood on the east end of the top of the ark of the covenant, or mercy seat. b. This was the day the transfiguration took place with Moses and Elijah, representing the Torah and the Prophets, and the day Yeshua’s ministry was confirmed after the order of Melchizedek. c. This also may be the day of the abomination and desolation, when the ANTICHRIST will STOP the OBLATION Altar. God will judge every human heart, regarding if it is like the Holy Spirit filled apostles, who would risk their life, twice a day, every day, AFTER Pentecost, to show RESPECT for the OBLATION Altar - OR - like the antichrist, who wants the OBLATION altar Stopped. (Dan 11:31, 12:11; Mt 24:15, Mk 13:14). d. Will be Judgment Day, or the Day of the Lord, (2Pet 3:10-13; Matt 25:31-34; 2Cor 5:10). e. The day Satan will be locked away for one thousand years.

I DESIRE YOU

While praying and meditating the last few days, Yeshua has impressed upon me how very much He loves each and every one of us, and how very special and precious we are all to Him. As we continue to watch the deterioration of this country, the United States, because of the decisions made by our leaders, ( the recent Dem. Convention events), our Father's judgements will increase in severity and frequency. He understands however, that the government is not representative of many of His people. I feel we are being asked where our focus is at this time, and if we are continuing  to look to Him constantly, despite what is happening around us, or are we being caught up in the day to day events taking place all around us, and all around the world. It is very difficult to not want to know what is going to happen next, to not know if there is anything else we 'should do'. But the main point our King is stressing I believe is that we are to be Kingdom minded at all times. This means in everything we say, do, and everything we look to. We are going to witness events never before seen in our lives. We are going to go through some very, very difficult and trying times. We have a promise though, that we are not alone, and that we will be more than conquerors if we only keep our focus and perspective through it all. Following is the encouragement I heard this morning:

Go and tell my people how very much I love them. I desire nothing more than fellowship and communion with you all of the time. I long to spend time with you, talking with you, walking with you through this life and your daily responsibilities. Can you not feel My presence? When invited, I walk hand in hand with you, holding you, comforting you, speaking the things to you that you need to hear for each day ahead. I go before you in all situations, and prepare your way before you even take a step. You are My chosen, and there is nothing that will or could stop Me from being everything for you,  your Comforter, your Guide, your Protector, your Love. I am pouring out my anointing upon you, and it covers you completely, bathing you in My glory, and sealing you from the world. I have told you many times, you are not of this world, as you are Kingdom heirs, and this earth is not your home. Seek My Kingdom and all that it encompasses, and all else will be placed at your feet. You have at your disposal multitudes of angels, always eager to assist you in your requests. Simply ask, and they are positioned for you. I desire for you to look only to Me and the things that Heaven is about at this time, not the world events and the enemies plans being carried out on this earth. He would like nothing more than to take your focus off of the Kingdom, and have you anxious over what is occurring in the physical realm. Remember, these things must occur as I will continue to appeal to those whose hearts are hardened to me. You however are not reserved to My anger and wrath. I will bring you through all of these events, and you will witness Me in all of My glory on this earth. There is so much joy awaiting you! There is much preparation being done here, as the feast of our Wedding together is to take place shortly! I am eager to share your new name with each of you, and to fellowship with you at My Table. I have created all of the beauty of this world for each one of you. I love you this much! Enjoy this that I have given to you, My gift to My people. It is possible to have immense joy, in the middle of tribulation, because your desire is Me! And My desire is you! Grasp this My beloved, and you will know such peace! My grace is sufficient for EVERY circumstance, no matter how it appears. Get a Heavenly perspective! Not a worldly one. I will sharpen your senses, and you will know what is occurring in the spiritual realm, if you only spend time with Me and ask Me to enlighten you. I will not leave you confused or uncertain or in fear. You will know My plans and walk in them in authority. I am thinking of My pure and spotless Bride, and I am filled with joy and love over you! I am eager for our union for eternity! I have much to share with  you. Desire Me! Yearn for Me! Reach out for Me always! Hold fast to Me! Breathe Me! Set your eyes upon Me! Eternity awaits you! 

Your Loving Groom,
Yeshua

John 17:13-18

¹³ And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
¹⁴ I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
¹⁵ I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
¹⁶ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
¹⁷ Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
¹⁸ As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

DREAM OF BELIEVERS TAKEN TO HEAVEN

On the night of Aug. 27, 2012, my husband had a dream in which he was having a conversation with satan. In the dream, satan was dressed as an ordinary man would dress, and my husband was telling him to leave him alone, that his fight was not with my husband, but that he needed to turn his attention towards our Father, the one who created satan. My husband told him that Yeshua was the son of God, but satan was not created in the Father's image and he had no authority with men unless given to him by them.

He then turned away from satan to another scene, where he saw a man preaching in the streets to many. Immediately, he knew this man to be evil in nature, and to be leading the people astray, that his teachings were not biblical and were very deceptive. In the background, my husband heard the sound of clanging metal and welding and beams being molded and put together. As his sight gets clearer, he sees iron being shaped and formed into platforms, glowing red from the heat. Opposite these platforms and in another scene, he sees other platforms being built, these having pillars being welded to the side and different in color. The platforms being made for the man preaching were dull and unimpressive, with no beams on the side and about as big as a large room. The platforms being formed in the other scene came out beautifully brilliant, glowing with these pillars at each corner, these structures being as large as a house in length and width. Then he sees that the people working on the bright platforms are in dressed in white, glowing and illuminated, as are the structures and sides. These platforms are literally lit up from the inside, and around the pillars on the sides are gorgeously decorated arrangements, jewels and flowers and crystals.He said it looked exactly like someone had decorated for a wedding, and that is was extremely beautiful. The tops of these platforms are open, with direct access to the sky. The platforms for the man preaching are just that, dull metal platforms and nothing else.

Then my husband sees believers running from all directions, stepping up onto the platforms, and being hoisted into Heaven! Each platform he said holds many, many people. There are people stationed at the four corners of each one, helping to guide these platforms up. A couple asks my husband to help hold one of the corners which has a rope attached to the pillar, as do all the pillars at each corner, each one with a person guiding the rope. My husband, thinking he is going to have to use all his strength, pulls with all his might, even going so far as to try and tie the rope off to a nearby truck, to make sure he keeps his corner of the platform secure, only to find that he is not able to tie the rope, and when he attempts to 'pulley' this platform up to Heaven, it is as light as a feather, and he feels no weight whatsoever as it ascends into the clouds. He says our three daughters came running with their best friend and asked, "Daddy? Is it time to go?" To which he replied, "Yes! Of course, we're finally ready now, get on!"  They then get on one of the platforms, and my husband watches as they ascend into Heaven and disappear.

As believers are being taken to Heaven by the multitudes, my husband notices that there are people wandering around the scene, not illuminated or dressed in white, and they are very distraught and confused. They are turning around and around in circles, mumbling and asking for help, they do not know where to turn or what to do. They have a sense that they need to do something, but they don't know what. He also recognizes some of the people and wonders why they don't come to the platforms, or know what is occurring. My husband tries to help one man by telling him it's going to be okay, just to step onto one of the platforms, but the man acts as if he can't hear my husband, and continues mumbling and talking to himself and remaining agitated and lost. Then my husband realizes that these are the lost, the ones who have not accepted Yeshua and it is now too late for them to get on a platform. They will remain to be deceived by the false teacher, and given over to the beast system for a time. This brings sadness to my husband, but there is nothing he can do. They have made their choices. The believers however are protected and kept from the darkness that is closing in. My husband then wakes up, and for several minutes, continues to hear the sounds of metal, but now he is hearing swords hitting each other in the air. He also said he had the most incredible feeling of peace he had ever had in his life, as if the chains had fallen off of him, and he was no longer in bondage to this world. The peace, he said, was indescribable.

As I was praying about this dreams, Yeshua revealed to me the simplicity of what my husband saw. This anti-christ system is very well in effect now, today, and many are not choosing the way of salvation, Yeshua our Messiah. This is beautiful example of how our fight is not against flesh, it's against satan and his deceptive agendas. We believers will watch as many of the people we know succumb to the enemy, and we will be helpless to do anything about it. When more and more things happen around the world and and there is chaos, many more will be drawn into a system that they believe will protect them and provide for them. I was also feeling that we indeed, are extremely close to seeing the fulfillment of this vision. The lines are being drawn, but we faithful servants are protected and sealed by the Holy Spirit and have absolutely nothing to fear. The sheep know their shepherd, and they will follow His voice. Hallelujah Yeshua!

John 14:27

King James Version (KJV)

²⁷ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Ezekiel 21:8-16

⁸ Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
⁹ Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
¹⁰ It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree.
¹¹ And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
¹² Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.
¹³ Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord God.
¹⁴ Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together. and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.
¹⁵ I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.
¹⁶ Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set.

Ezekiel 22:20-31

²⁰ As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.
²¹ Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst therof.
²² As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the Lord have poured out my fury upon you.
²³ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
²⁴ Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
²⁵ There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
²⁶ Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
²⁷ Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
²⁸ And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken.
²⁹ The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
³⁰ And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

MY PERSECUTED CHURCH

While praying today and this weekend, this is what I feel the Father is impressing on my heart to write about.


My dear ones, I am asking that My own would take an extra moment each day, to lift up your brothers and sisters around the world who are being persecuted for My names' sake. Yes, there has always been persecution because of Me, but the hatred of those who reject My Word and My offer of salvation increases each day. The enemy knows very well his time is increasingly shortened, and the root of bitterness towards those that love Me and obey My commands escalates to an extent many would find hard to fathom. Manifestations of evil will become more and more visible and frequent, as well as intense. Many of you are experiencing situations of these kinds at this moment and know of which I speak. Some of these manifestations of evil will be on a very personal level. The enemy will do all he can to derail you and shake you to your core. So I ask of you now, on what is your foundation built? Where do you stand in your relationship to Me? Are you forsaking all in order to walk hand in hand with Me, following My will for your life? Or are you like My disciples in the past, who walked with Me, talked with Me, ate and slept with Me for years, yet could not stand with Me in My final hour? How much are you willing to lose for My sake? Will you forsake all for Me? The persecution in your nation pales in comparison to that which those in other countries suffer because of the faith in Me. However, know that you are not immune to these attacks. Your freedoms will be increasingly jeopardized and annulled and many of you will suffer much because you have chosen the narrow path. Know this, I will never leave you or forsake you, and My eternal glory far outweighs any abuse, ridicule, or tribulation you could ever experience in this life. Do not fear him who can kill the body, but be more concerned of him who can kill your soul. I allow this suffering because I must know where My people stand. I must know who is in My army, and who I can count on to walk with Me through these coming dark days. Darkness must come first, but then, the glorious reign of My Kingdom forever! And if you have allowed Me to penetrate every part of your being, I will carry you on wings of eagles through these trying times, and you will experience My faithfulness, My shield of protection, and My divine guidance through it all. No weapon formed against you can or will prosper! I have given you the power to tread on serpents and scorpions and this you must do. In order to be able to recognize when and where and how you are to do this, you must pray for My discernment each day. You will not be harmed as long as your loyalty remains with Me. Read My word, know how to respond and react when the darkness closes in around you. Plead My blood and pray My name, for their is no other name under Heaven by which any of you can be saved. All evil must flee at the mention of My name. Unite today and each day with your spiritual family around the world and pray for encouragement and a steadfast faith for yourselves and for each other. The prayers of My faithful are always heard and I will respond to each of you individually according to your needs and My plan for your life. It is only for a time that this darkness will become very encompassing, but for you who know Me, My light will be your comfort, your peace, and your security. Nothing else will matter. It is then that you will display My immense love for all My creation without trembling, and without fear. Rise to the occasion church, for there is much work to be done! I love each of you so very much,

Your Glorious King
Yeshua

⁹ Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed

Hebrews 13:5

⁵ Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

¹⁹ Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

¹⁶ Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

James 4:7

⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

We here in America really have not experienced true persecution as of yet, compared to what is going on around the world. It has begun however, as people have been arrested and/or fined for having bible studies in their homes, or for praying in public venues. It is becoming increasingly difficult to be considered a "Christian" in this country, and it has definitely become very unpopular as of late. We are expected to be ever more tolerant of Islam and the suppression of our religious freedoms here continues constantly as more and more laws are being passed to exclude God from our lives and our nation. God help us. Below is a short list of some of the ways the church is suffering here in America, and then I ask you to please take the time to watch the short video after that, which tells of a small body of believers in Egypt, a group of Coptic Christians, that recently had one of their homes burned to the ground because they believe in Yeshua Ha Mashiach, and were quietly having 'church' at a home amongst many Muslims and mosques.  I won't take the time to explain what Coptic Christians are, you can look it up and get a very good summary of them online. Basically, they are the first Egyptian Christians who started the church following the apostle Mark during his evangelism after Yeshua's resurrection and they remain today a very strong body of believers around the world. Please join me in praying as our Messiah has asked for our faith to be increased and for the endurance to finish the race, no matter what the cost. Amen.
 

Report Highlights Consistent Pattern of Hostility Toward Christians in US

http://www.christianpost.com

---

A new 140-page report released by the Family Research Council and Liberty Institute reveals a pattern of hostility toward Christians and Christianity in the U.S. The report was released earlier this week and includes over 600 incidents over a 10-year period.

The attacks range from rulings from the judiciary branch to an elementary school student who was physically lifted from his seat and reprimanded for praying before eating his lunch.

Yet another example shows a Christian couple was fired as apartment complex managers and forced to move because a painting with a Christian reference was displayed in their office.

Other examples cited in the report include:

• A federal judge threatened "incarceration" to a high school valedictorian unless she removed references to Jesus from her graduation speech.

• City officials prohibited senior citizens from praying over their meals, listening to religious messages or singing gospel songs at a senior activities center.

• Following U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' policies, a federal government official sought to censor a pastor's prayer, eliminating references to Jesus, during a Memorial Day ceremony honoring veterans at a national cemetery.

• A public university's law school banned a Christian organization because it required its officers to adhere to a statement of faith that the university disagreed with.

• The U.S. Department of Justice argued before the Supreme Court that the federal government can tell churches and synagogues which pastors and rabbis it can hire and fire.

• Through the Affordable Care Act ("ObamaCare"), the federal government is forcing religious organizations to provide insurance for birth control and abortion inducing drugs in direct violation of their religious beliefs.

• The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs banned the mention of God from veterans' funerals, overriding the wishes of the deceased's families.

• A federal judge held that prayers before a state House of Representatives could be to Allah but not to Jesus.

"America today would be unrecognizable to our Founders. Our First Liberty is facing a relentless onslaught from well-funded and aggressive groups and individuals who are using the courts, Congress, and the vast federal bureaucracy to suppress and limit religious freedom," said Kelly Shackelford, president of Liberty Institute.

"This radicalized minority is driven by an anti-religious ideology that is turning the First Amendment upside down."

Both organizations presented the findings of the report during a joint press conference in Tampa, Fla., on Monday prior to the Republican Party Convention platform committee to raise that awareness.

The Liberty Institute further pointed out that religious liberty is "facing a relentless onslaught from well-funded and aggressive groups" that are using whatever means available to suppress or attack religious freedom.

FRC's Tony Perkins added, "As dark as this survey is, there is much light. The secularists' agenda only advances when those who love liberty are apathetic. Let this be a call to stand for religious liberty in the United States."

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PEACE PROCESS

This is a very brief but very informative video about what is going on in the Middle East concerning Israel, and why we are about to have a very large world war over the situation.
