The Five Crowns of Highest Rewards

The Five Crowns of Highest Reward for the True Believers

Proverbs 11:18

The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

Reward – To be bought and entertained at a feast upon completion

1 Corinthians 2:9

No eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived — the things God has prepared for those who love him. 

 

The Bible speaks specifically about five crowns handed out to those who diligently served the Lord while they were present here on Earth.  These Crowns will be for work that is done for God that is beyond the normal scope of what the average Christian may attempt to do. This is for work that goes far, above and beyond what the average Christian may actually strive for because they strive for One – Jesus of Nazareth.

Jeremiah 17:9-10

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?  I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Our Lord will be giving out certain types of crowns for the people who were willing to go that extra mile, even at times to the point of no strength, who were willing to give that extra special effort in whatever God had called them to do. As I said, these crowns will be a special reward that will be for rewarding excellence and maximum effort.

These crowns will also be incorruptible and will last for all of eternity. They will be a special mark and a special token given by our Lord to honor and reward all of those who have faithfully served Him in this life by the laying down of their own lives in service to the Kingdom of Heaven.

What exactly is this crown?

    1. a mark of royal or (in general) exalted rank which was given as a prize to victors in public games
    2. the eternal blessedness which will be given as a prize to the genuine servants of God and Christ: the crown (wreath) which is the reward of the righteousness
    3. that which is an ornament used to honor someone
    4. A badge worn during nuptials representing joy
    5. Symbolizes royalty

 

The Crown Incorruptible

  • Received for exercising self-control in all disciplined training
  • 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
  • Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.   And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.   I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:  But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

The Crown of Life

  • Received for standing approved before God by rightly dividing His Word in our lives and loving Him above all persons and things as His perfect love casts out all fear
  • James 1:12
  • Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
  • Revelation 2:10
  • Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

The Crown of Rejoicing

  • Received for the witnesses who suffered contention for speaking the Word of God, yet continued to preach, teach and instruct, winning souls for Jesus
  • 1 Thessalonians 2

For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain: But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.  For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:   But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.   For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:   Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.   But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:   So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.   For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.   Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:   As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,  That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.   For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.   For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:   Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:  Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.   But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.  Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.   For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?  For ye are our glory and joy.

The Crown of Glory

  • Received by leaders in the Body for feeding God’s people with His Word
  • 1 Peter 5:1-5

The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:   Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;  Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock.   And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.   Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.   Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.

The Crown of Righteousness

  • Received by all born again believers who love His appearing
  • 2 Timothy 4:1-8

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.   But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.   For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.   I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:   Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

 

One day… We shall fall down before our Lord Jesus and lay our crowns down in worship before Him.

Revelation 4:10-11

The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

What a beautiful blessing….  Do you see what I see?  In order to cast our Crowns before Him…  Look where we will be!  At THE THRONE worshiping our Beloved Jesus forever and ever. 

This just sends my Spirit soaring, as I am sure it does yours as well.

So keep looking up, hold fast to what is true, as we worship Him NOW in Spirit and in Truth, for a time is coming beyond our most glorious imaginations, where we will be ONE WITH HIM eternally!

What a Glorious Day that will be!

Golden Funnels Dream

Golden Funnels Dream ~ September 14, 2012

 

During my dream I was in several clusters of people I knew throughout my lifetime.  In each scenario we were outside viewing a spectacular display in the sky.  This is what we were looking at ~

There was a meteor shower, in the shape of a funnel cloud, sparkling like tiny golden stars dancing together and twirling.  It started with one funnel and increased as time passed by, doubling in number, until the whole sky was filled with them.  As the hour of the day got later you could see when they were about to form way in the distance, eventually becoming too numerous to count.  When they first began to appear it was still daylight, however, as time passed it eventually turned dark outside.  I knew, in my Spirit at the time, this was a sign that Jesus’s appearance was eminent.

When these golden meteors appeared, even the news agencies were reporting on them with amazement.  As time went on they started to interfere with all communication devices, including television signals.  During the event, people were turning to the Lord by the 1000’s each minute.  It was so easy to evangelize during this short window the Lord had given us, it became a little tiring but was not draining in any way.  The Lord showed me the following scripture for what I was seeing….  Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Mathew 9:37    God also told me, “Today is the day to get closure on all unresolved issues with others in your life.”

Next, the scene took a drastic turn towards darkness.  I saw many, many uprisings at landmarks in America.  These were being started by Islam supporters and spreading as fast as wildfires.  The Lord told me, “When you begin to see these clans of violence have crossed the seas, it is time to prepare.”

The Church of EPHESUS – Book of Revelation

Church of Ephesus

Revelation 2:1-7

  • 1 – Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus [Means “Permitted”, a city of Asia Minor] write; These things saith he [Chief power, Master, Ruler] that holdeth the seven stars [standing firm in the midst of others, star] in his right hand [a place of honor and authority], who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks [garments of angels, and of those exalted to the splendour of the heavenly state, brilliant, shining white].
  • Take notice who is speaking here, by the authority of our Master Ruler. An Angel
  • This Angel is in the “midst” of this Church – with, before and behind

 

  • 2- I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
  • This Church is working hard, with patience for the Kingdom
  • They do not tolerate evil
  • They do test the Spirits and are successful in knowing the sheep from the goats

 

  • 3 – And hast borne [carry another when they are weak, share another’s burdens], and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
  • They have great patience in their service to the Father, working diligently and not grown tired
  • They have compassion for one another, lifting and encouraging each other to the point of carrying their brother or sister when they are weak.

 

  • 4 – Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left [send away, disregard, neglect] thy first [honored chief, first in time or place] love [one of the bridegroom’s friends, one you know intimately, to be contented with, to love dearly].
  • Some in this Church were so wrapped up in doing, they forgot just Who they were called to be – Bride
  • They neglected to keep an intimate relationship with Jesus, their beloved and neglected to stay intimate with Him
  • Eventually they no longer burned with desire and their passion was lost so they fell away, compromising their salvation

 

  • 5 – Remember [be mindful, think on the memories] therefore from whence thou art fallen [to perish or to lose a thing], and repent [ask for forgiveness and not do again], and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick [Angel, light] out of his place, except thou repent.
  • He is calling us to think about what condition we were in before we were saved and or delivered
  • For us to reflect on how intimate, humble and grateful we were when we first walked with Jesus
  • We must turn from the temptation of doing for the Kingdom out of flesh – no matter the situation, prior to intimately seeking Jesus – these will often argue for the sake of being right or seek fame and attention from others – we should never seek glory or acknowledgment from man, only God our Father
  • Should we not? QUICKLY He will come and remove the Angel who is in our midst

 

 

  • 6 – But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans [those who became a stumbling block worshipping idols, did not walk in liberty], which I also hate.
  • These believers did not go along with idol worship
  • An idol can be a person, anyone you may seek approval from – taking the place of God in one’s life
  • They were walking in liberty

 

  • 7 – He that hath an ear [listen to the message prompted by the Holy Spirit], let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh [walk in victory with Jesus, hold fast to their faith even unto death] will I give to eat [consume, take in one’s self] of the tree [wooden cross] of life [to live, breathe, be among the living with Jesus, devoted to God], which is in the midst of the paradise [a pleasure ground, Heaven] of God.

 

  • These are those promised life real and genuine, a life active and vigorous, devoted to God, blessed, in the portion even in this world. Those who put their trust in Christ, but after the resurrection will be consummated by new accessions [among them a more perfect body], and to last forever.
  • Remaining in a state of constant pleasure in Heaven with the Father throughout eternity.

The Hut

“The Hut”
I am standing inside a grass hut.
There are small birds within a bird cage.
Someone opens the bird cage and and a window and lets all the birds out.
I wondered…
then I see the window is closed, and some of the birds were sitting on a tree limb outside looking in.
A little wind, a little rain, and i feel awwww, the little birds are looking weathered, tired, hungry.
I open the window and reach out and grab 1 bird and brought it in.
Many more small birds flew in. males and females. (I knew this because some were colourful and were not)
1 large red and blue colored bird  flew in also. .
It looked like this as it flew in.
I did not see where this large bird went to perch within the hut.
The large bird was healthy, and strong,
The small birds;
some were ok but needing love and attention, some were weathered, some malnourished needing food and water.
End of dream.
After transcribing this, I thought all the little birds were budgies, but when I found the large bird I saw a lot of the other ones too as well as the budgie birds,
Some of these small birds were rainforest birds. The large bird was a Mawcaw, a parrot.
Not completely understanding this, I took it to the Lord…
On the 7th day after this dream, a greater understanding was complete.
I have been and do pray for the lost,sick,broken,unsaved, and recently I was talking to Him about some strange people I didn’t understand.
The grass hut represents Repentance
Those that were bound were set free.
These rain birds and budgies are His people.
He was showing me that these are His people, some lost, some broken, some tired, some thirsty, some hungry, some unloved,
and they were all coming back to Him as He calls out to the world.
Each one different with different needs, each one precious, each one will be filled.
The large bird was a parrot and i thought it repeats what it hears; the Lord corrected me  “Speaking His Word” is the parrot.
Being blue and red, I knew it was covered by the blood and in spirit.
Our Father Loves us so much, He Is bringing them in under His covering of Jesus and all will be filled with Him. In one accord.

IMPOSTORS – Come Out From Among Them

The greatest and most dangerous form of darkness cloaks itself as Light. Today’s message is for the brethren, those with an upright heart who seek to walk in wisdom, in servitude to our Lord Jesus.

Being chosen certainly does come with a heavy price, a laying down of oneself in exchange for eternal life.  We are the Temple (abiding place) of the Holy Spirit.  As we die to self, we gain more oil – which is actually guided wisdom and discernment imparted by the Holy Spirit and therefore we are made ready to become just as He is… Jesus, we shall be like Him and we do not even know fully yet what that looks like.  However, a day is closing in where we will fully behold Him and ourselves, in His likeness inside and out and be just as He is.  We are in a transformation process at the moment, so to speak.

If we look around at the World we gain some understanding of what or who, we do not belong to.  There is not one child of God who does not feel the tug within to be separate from the World right now.  It reminds me as if a FINAL CALL is going out… To come out of her My people.

Some just came out, others are in the process of coming out and even more are getting prepared to begin the coming out process, but no matter where you are on that path rest assured it is perfectly being orchestrated by the Most High.  We cannot rush it, we cannot force it on another, we cannot squirm our way out of it or manipulate it in anyway.  There is ONE WAY to the Father, which is ONLY IF JESUS LEADS US TO HIM.  I cannot lead you, you cannot lead me and we follow ONE VOICE TO HIM – THE VOICE OF THE LAMB, JESUS.  The word says another we will not follow and if we do we will stray off the path.  So don’t follow me and don’t think for one moment we are more pivotal in the Salvation of another than we truly are.  Let me tell you, I have been there and done that and it will cast upon you much anguish and lack of peace and rest in Jesus.  Do you know why the Father ordered our steps this way?  It is actually for our own protection and the protection of others – His flock.  If this was not His way, many false representatives of the enemy’s kingdom would come in as light and snatch us out of the Father’s hands, so He made this impossible by His Kingdom Order.  And this is what we are going to discuss today.  I pray we heed all the warnings given to us by the Holy Spirit.

Let me ask you a question…  If the Lord needed flesh on Earth to save the souls of men, then why did He not leave Jesus here for that very task?  Everything is our Creator God’s design and He designed for Jesus to come to the Earth to save the ones appointed to be saved, but that was His divine way – He could have done it any other way, but this is what HE CHOOSE.  Jesus came in the flesh, only to die to it and then be resurrected from death to life in a glorified body.

To be more accurate Biblically, we should say we are here to “Make disciples of all men by preaching the Gospel of Jesus.”  We are called to edify, encourage, exhort, rebuke, reprimand one another, as we pray for and lift each other up when one falls, by comforting one another with the same words by which we were comforted ourselves.  People hear His Gospel when we are sent and through His power we heal and open eyes.  But the real life saving power and force is Jesus, Himself.  Not us.  If I were not here, he would send another and same holds true for you.  For some reason, the enemy who is grounded in pride, has deceived many into thinking the World would end if they were not present and those they love would be eternally lost.  Actually, I have found in my own faltered state I have done more harm than good in my family at times and that it is much more productive to act like Jesus, rather than speak about Him.

Anyway, before we move on I want to point out that JESUS MOVED through the crowd that were ridiculing, mocking and scoffing Him.  He did not try to convert them.  He focused on one group, those who were searching for a Savior with an open heart and would listen – they had one common element – to be set free and changed from the inside out.  They did not always get things right, they slipped up occasionally and such, but one thing is for certain – they saw THE ONE Who was appointed to make them whole and He is Who they followed after and so should we.

You can read about this in Luke 4 as well as some other places in the Bible.

Proverbs 9:6-12

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

  • We don’t reprove someone who scorns and is wicked, it does no good
  • Only a wise man will love when given instruction
  • Someone who scorns is alone, operating without even Jesus

Today I ask the Lord to expose my heart for His people.  That we all would gain wisdom to remain on the straight and narrow path which leads to eternal life.  Amen.

We are going to start out in 2 Timothy 3 and build from there.  I recently listened to a very timely message of confirmation to what the Lord has been showing me, so some of this will be confirming to you as well and other parts may be new revelations, just so you know in advance.

2 Timothy 3

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

                This is manifesting right now to those with eyes to see

 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

                They speak of God, but are not of Him

We are to not follow them and turn away from hearing what they say

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

                Seems women are more prone to being lead away by these vain talkers

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

                They can learn but do not know or love the truth

Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

                They resist truth, are corrupt and reprobate in their minds

But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their’s also was.

                They will be exposed

But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

                We are assured if we FULLY know the Gospel we shall be delivered and be aware of those who do evil

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

                Evil men will continue to seduce increasingly because they are deceived and deceive others

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

                Knowing the Scriptures and continuing in them will protect us

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

                Tells us what Scripture is actually for as a tool granted to us on this journey

                It is profitable, because it bears good fruit, because the source is God Himself

That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Knowing the Scriptures sets a foundation of perfection within us and we will live righteously walk uprightly.

 

It doesn’t take a Biblical scholar to recognize we are living in perilous times and a few of us may even notice how these perils are increasing in nature and frequency.  The Bible calls these, “Birth pains.”

Because so many have reprobate minds now (which the Father has given them over to) they are living in sheer outer darkness of torment through a sort of perpetual confusion, similar to hell in their minds.  They are wicked, fierce, wild, hostile, like savage beasts, as the Bible describes.  Basically, everything opposite of the Holy Spirit and the fruit He displays and us too, when we are walking in obedience.  Every single action we take produces fruit – good or bad.

I said all that to say this… Imposters are among us.  The Father is allowing this to purify His Body, in order to remove all that is not of Him.  The beauty in this is how He is using it as a testing tool, in order we see repentance is a requirement to enter into the Kingdom of God.  Since we are the apple of His eye, He is doing this mighty work in order He can lavish His love and acceptance upon us.  In this process we retain Godly wisdom of Him as Abba Father in truth, in love, in discipline and embrace – this is called “fullness.”  I guess you could almost call it… Full circle or rebirth into our first estate with Him, no longer separated from Him by misguided understandings perceived by self.

Some Simple Truths:

  • Rebellion never seeks repentance and God’s children embrace it.

Isaiah 30:9-10 

That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits.

  • Disobedience was birthed in the Garden, which opens our eyes to evil even today and is why we have been studying so much about “Stranger danger” and another voice we will not follow. Women are especially susceptible to the craftiness of serpents.
  • Opinions are not the Holy Spirit, as the Spirit speaks only truth. We should not mix the two and we definitely should not mislead others in mingling the two together.
  • Agents of evil/imposters, want everything done in secret, they desire to stay hidden and are cleaver at doing sneaky things. They operate in the shadows and are CLOAKED IN LIGHT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO LIGHT WITHIN THEM.  One of their main assignments is to trick us to call evil good and good evil, so beware.  When exposed they will target the one exposing them with force to silence the truth of them from being revealed.  When someone you care about departs from the Faith and you remain in the faith, don’t mingle and come into agreement with their actions of deceit, but rather pray and pray some more for them, they certainly need the Lord more than ever.
  • Just like Judas infiltrated the group of disciples, people with that same identity is within the Church today. They will be and are being exposed right now BY THEIR OWN ACTIONS – we do not have to do or say anything.  Similar to how Haman hang on his own gallows in the Book of Esther, it is a reaping upon them what was sown by them.  Their mission is to bring chaos, disorder, confusion and to wrap you in chains because they themselves are bound.  Although it may be in your heart they be set free – pray for them, only Jesus can lead them to the Father.  He is the chain breaker.
  • The Lord showed me an example of this very thing manifesting the other day in chat… So I wrote it down to share with you all.

Someone who has been harassing people for awhile now and has been the cause of many people leaving chat (but they still listen to our teachings for the most part) was in chat and I noticed one of the people they had scared came back into chat for a bit.  I was watching very closely… All of a sudden the wolf said to the lamb…  “I am sorry you did not want my help.”  Do you see the manipulation in that vain apology?

There was no true repentance.  This is how we can begin to test the spirits and become wise through the Holy Spirit.  Devils always twist things to operate out of their true nature as accuser of the brethren… Even in a masked apology.  Cloaked in light he was trying to save face and actually blamed her for rejecting his false outstretched hand.

  • I only used this as a demonstration so we can discern and be wise to the snares set before us. Quite often a little observance reveals a lot.
  • Once the imposters in our own lives are revealed, be aware that they do travel in mobs, just like they did in Jesus’s day (there certainly isn’t anything new under the sun) and will gather ranks around them to attack any prey on those that will not submit to them. The reason being, they want to remove that one who does see and has been shown the way they operate, because they cannot infiltrate as darkness in the presence of light.  However, if they can remove the light, they can prevail for a season.  Just as it is written for a short time the enemy wears out the Saints to overcome them.

Psalm 2:1-5

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

  • Rage and vengeance are two indicators you are in the midst of an imposter. In order we do not partake in their vengeance and sin we are to depart from them. If we partake in their sin by coming into agreement with it, we will also partake in their sufferings.
  • Like we have discussed before … Our calling is assured, when we have no guile within us and follow the Lamb wherever He goes. He is purging us now of all iniquity so we will be found worthy to stand before Him and escape all things coming upon the Earth.
  • I want to point out Judas was a man in the day Jesus was a man – both walking the Earth. And just like Jesus is alive and well Spiritually on the Earth, so is that spirit which overtook Judas and both use vessels to carry out the wills of their Fathers.  Jesus uses His brethren and Judas uses his.  Jesus never betrays us, which is why we follow no man.  Betrayal is very swift and I want to review some catche phrases the enemy is using to infiltrate the Church.  Remember, this is not a person, but a spirit that operates and influences someone to carry out the deeds of the flesh.  Recognize it, be wise and gentle and be cautious to cast something out, unless the person is willing to do the work to remain free.  We are told to RESIST the enemy and he will flee.  Resisting means do not engage, as some only come out with prayer and fasting.  Fasting here, besides the obvious, also means the person desires to REFRAIN from the sin that so easily entangles them.

These Judas vessels often display a few familiar characteristics:

Tolerance –Tolerant to sin, to others, to be free and do whatever you want…

Includes everybody – The false church is big on being inclusionary

Peace – They often come cloaked in peace before they tear your life apart – they will “Betray with a kiss,” or rather show affection while plotting your end.

Safety – They will say things to help you to lure you in to destroy you

Coexist – They are really into saying – let’s all just get along, it doesn’t matter what is truth and is not.  We are called to stand on the foundation of truth, Himself.

Judging – Since they are avoiding any sort of consequences and trust me they know God’s rules better than we do – they will accuse, anytime one judges before the time, because they are scared to death of where they are appointed to be.  Discernment is permitted, but condemnation is not.  Remember – they want you to call evil good and good evil, so they use this tactic against all that is good.

There is so much more to go into about this, we have barely scratched the surface.

Just understand this one thing for now:

The fruit of this deception is calling evil good and good evil and the root is deception

  • The Lord did not call us to be gullible. He called us to be WISE and GENTLE.  Like a hoot owl who sees much and speaks little… That should be us in these times.  Remember owls are awake at night, they have excellent night vision and see all the way around themselves.  And on a side note:  They consume serpents.
  • Quite often people around us, either understand dark sentences being confounded by the wise or speak and understand what is plainly given in the Word by the Holy Spirit. Imposters “Echo” what they have observed and heard because they do not have the Holy Spirit guiding them and satan can only imitate the One True God and Father.  We are all going to witness this false holy spirit more and more in the days to come.
  • They target the weak because it empowers them to be strong. There is a certain amount of respect and understanding they have with anyone they view equal to or above them, because they are fearful of being defeated.  It is why they “Prey” on the innocent little ones and do not tangle with those who they perceive have strength, which is why they also prey upon women.  Somewhat similar to a “Bully.”
  • They will accuse of that which is within them. They do not use the Bible as the mirror of truth to see their own souls in order to repent, so what they say of another is who they have become themselves.  Instead they will take the Bible and see who in their minds are “Measuring up.”  Paranoia rules them as a basis of truth.  They know Scriptures as a base point of only to condemn.

The reason I am going through all this is that we have a firm foundation of truth because we are in a real spiritual battle here of good versus evil.  If we do not do this we may slip into thinking various thoughts and imaginations of our own mindsets.

  • All imposters are trained by the devil within them to carry out his bidding. They have an ability to BLEND IN, INFILTRATE, BETRAY and DESTROY FROM THE INSIDE-OUT of any gathering.
  • We are to continually walk uprightly through:

Studying the Bible as food for our souls

Trust in the Lord Jesus of Nazareth

Obey His commands

Seek Him continually with our whole hearts♥

THIS IS THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW ROAD WE JOURNEY ON

                                                      JESUS IS THE GATE… Which is why we follow HIM alone

                                                                                                        Thankfully, ALL who call upon His Name

Shall be saved.

Amen.

A Tribute of Love

I’ve written a thousand words before, inspired by your life
But never thought about the day, when I’d have to say goodbye
In all of my selfishness if I could be King, only for today
I’d turn back time & you’d be here, telling me everything will be ok
You’d hold me in your loving arms, then find a way to make me laugh
We’d sit on the porch drinking sweet tea, reminiscing of the past
We’d talk about the good old days, when I was young and so were you
You’d tell me how I used to pester Bryce, & he’d kick me out of his room
I’d tell you how beautiful you are, & how much your life means
Then you’d quickly change the subject & go back to talking about me
Even though my heart is broken, I’m glad I’m not the King
Instead I’ll hold onto every word unspoken, & rejoice as the angels now sing
For you are a light God gave to me, for only a season in this life
To show me who I want to be & to set my eyes on the Most High
You taught me how to store up treasure, in the world beyond this vapor
To give freely, to love wholly & to do the work of Our Savior
Right now I know you’re looking down with a big smile on your face
I can only imagine how many crowns, God’s gifted you in your new place
So I’ll smile through the pain & I’ll laugh through the tears
I’ll cherish ever memory and know, that we do not say Goodbye here
Today, I’ll celebrate your victory & be glad that made it home
Looking forward to the day we meet again, in Heaven where we belong

Brother Erik’s Testimony

My parents have been divorced since I was 2 years old, I have no vivid memory of them together. It wasn’t the best place to be for a kid because it was constant fighting between them and me and my 2 brothers were caught in the middle.
I have always been a very quiet and reserved person, never talking a lot but always listening.

When I had friends I would usually just hang out around them following them around but always the quiet one of the group.
When I reached high school that’s when the trouble started. My oldest brother had just gone out of the house into the military and my mom moved away to Texas for the second time, I was given a choice of who to stay with my Dad or go with my Mom but I never could make the decision because I felt like if I picked one I would disappoint the other so they eventually made it for me, so I stayed with my Dad.
After my first year in high school which wasn’t the best because at the end I didn’t care anymore about the studies I didn’t do homework and I took the end of the year test and just bubbled random answers and put my head down to sleep.
During all this I was into video games a lot, the online ones like World of Warcraft. It was all I wanted to do, it was my place of peace during my troubles, and it eventually became my home.
So after my first year of high school into my 10th grade year, I would stay up late playing games all night and be tired for school and I eventually dropped out early in the year.
All I wanted to do is play video games, and so I got what I wanted. It was like a dream come true to a teenager. No school, got to stay home and play video games all day. Later down the road, not too long after I dropped out I went to go get my GED because I slowly started to feel like I shouldn’t have done what I did.
I got my GED but I didn’t even really care because it was so easy to me at the time I felt like I was just handed it, no feeling of accomplishment. So I kept on playing my video games.
Eventually a few weeks turned into a month, then a month turned into a year, then a year turned into 3 years. All this time I was getting up at random hours during the day because I would stay up all night and I was just all over the place.
After 6 years of this I really hit my crash and burn, all this time I was dealing with depression taking medication for it but the medication didn’t work for me, everyone else said they saw a difference but now I think they just saw what they wanted to see because it was what they relied on for their image of me.
So eventually what I loved and what I only wanted to do for the rest of my life was slowly fading away, constant game playing for 7 years all day every day. I felt empty inside what I loved was taken away from me and I had nothing, at 23 years old I was at the same place when I was 16.
I didn’t know what to do with my life, I had no interests it’s like I was dead inside. I would get on games and play one game for 10 minutes, then swap to another one for 10 minutes, then go back to the other one. I was desperate to keep my fake happiness going.
In the middle of all this I started studying the Bible because I was looking around Youtube one day and found some material that was talking about the end days and taking everything from the bible, it all strangely made sense to me. I was hearing something I never heard before but some how I knew it was true.
But even that didn’t last too long. But I know now that a small foundation was being made for the truth and looking into the bible for myself and not to take it out of context or listen to people that cherry pick passages to sound good.
Over time I kept trying to move on with my life, kept hitting wall after wall and going right back to the bottom, I was still neck deep into video games. Eventually I was getting so frustrated with everyone, I wanted to move on with my life, I was totally reliant on my parents for help to move on but I never got the help I wanted. So I would stew in anger a lot, eventually I started having dreams of harming everyone and just being consumed with my own self because I felt like I was being thrown under the bus.
I was turning into a monster and over time I started to bleed into my video games, I would toss people away to do what I wanted in the video games and didn’t care who I hurt as long as I was doing what I wanted.
Then in the summer of 2017 after years of stagnation and no hope in my mind, I felt like this was it, this is the peak of my life. sitting around all day playing video games with no friends outside of my house and video games, it got so bad that when I would go outside my eyes would hurt and strain from the sunlight. I found Michael in a youtube video, with the small foundation that was already laid.
But something was different with this guy I thought, he’s speaking from the heart, it’s not fake.
And I was a person who was so stubborn I wouldn’t listen to even my parents advice and I would tell them no person could help me, I even gave up on myself.
Over time I kept listening and kept learning each recording was a blessing, with tears down my eyes constantly agreeing with everything, knowing what I became and where I was going.
Most of all thinking on the Cross hurt me the most, because I knew in my heart over what I was doing I did not deserve to live.
The pain was so great during my depressions that I would cry out to just kill me now Lord. I didn’t see any escape from my mind that the only thing I could see as an escape would be to be completely removed from existence itself. In my mind it was better to be gone as if I never even lived.
Over time I kept getting into the word. I wanted to repent from my ways because in CoT I found a love I never even knew existed. I finally found the truth, knowing that I needed to change my ways because time was getting shorter and shorter in the world.
At first it was a bit difficult because over time I knew I needed to get away from the video games, but it was getting easier because I wasn’t enjoying them anymore anyway, I only played to be with my friends online. I was used to sitting around doing nothing, but this next step was bigger because now instead of playing games I was studying the Word, but also there’s a lot of sitting around doing nothing.
Even then through all this the Lord was working patience into me because I made up in my mind that even if my situation doesn’t change, I’ll still follow in the Word in my room.
Now I sit around content with where I am, no worries about getting out in the world to “live” because none of that gives me what I truly want anyway, it’s just a distraction from our loving Father. Slowly doors have been opening up to me, because I still want to be able to go out now but to walk and apply what the Lord as shown me through CoT. But the biggest key for me is patience and love, no longer blaming others for where I am, because I’m here where I am because I chose to do what I did.
Now I’m doing what I thought I couldn’t even stand to do anymore, waiting on the Lord patiently for his will to be done with my life, no longer wanting to do things for me but for the work I’ve been sent here to do. Loving my family even the greater, but most of all loving Jesus for getting me out of my death and renewing me unto life.
Even when all hope was lost I would cry out to him and wanting his will to be done, giving up the life I wanted to live, for the life he wants me to complete. To me you don’t have to be doing things in the world to walk, walking is applying love and becoming what we are supposed to be, lights full of life and love no matter the situation. By loving and not doing the ways of the old creature we plant seeds, it’s not up to us when they start sprouting. What we sew others might reap.

The Soul Catchers – Do Not Take Sides

The Soul Catchers ~ Do Not Take Sides

November 26, 2014

In my dream I was among diverse people of all lands, tribes and tongues – all were the same, yet different.  A line had already been drawn in the sand and strict instruction had been given to me to not warn anyone any longer of what was to come – the sands of time, like in an hourglass had run out.  I knew, instinctively the Judgment had been set and the “Gavel of justice” was about ready to fall.  When that gavel fell – THE SOUL CATCHERS arrived in whirlwinds…  It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God [Hebrews 10:31]

I kept seeing people’s brains…. Like a high tech ticker tape running upon their foreheads, yet I could see deeper into their brains, as if I could almost read their minds.  I knew instantly which side they were on and if they had “Crossed the line” and were compromised, which was the state of the majority of the people I saw.  A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards [Proverbs 29:11]

The others who were not compromised all I could see running across their brains was scripture – these were those who “Knew” the word of God in Heart, Mind, Spirit and Soul.  It was the only way to be protected when the reapers came.  I knew this, yet I was not allowed to warn any… for the judgment was set….  The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels [Mathew 13:39]

Within myself I knew those who had “Taken sides” which caused division and strife were in waiting to be consumed by these Soul Catchers.  The Father was bringing His judgment down upon those who judged before the time.  All those who felt compelled to voice their opinion perished in my dream because they were causing others to rebel against one another.  Rebellion against the Father’s Word was an abomination in my dream.  In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.  [Isaiah 59:13]

The saddest part in my dream was how the Soul Catchers would feed upon those who rebelled against one another – saved and unsaved were lumped together at this point.  I saw them  – smug, walking around in pride thinking they have it all figured out.  The worst feeding and consuming were those people who thought they were saved and were not.  They not only were prideful in my dream, but they were walking around high and mighty as if they could judge their brethren.  At the throne they had taken on the image of satan, accusing the brethren and it was dreadful for them… My heart ached be do to their high mindedness there was no point in me attempting to warn them and it was forbidden for me to do so anyway.  These were those who had “Judged before the time”  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [2 Thessalonians 2:3]

The last thing I saw in my dream was that day…  His gavel fell and when it did the Soul Catchers were released and consumed the majority of the people in my view then the angels came and reaped the souls of the righteous ones.  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. [2 Thessalonians 2:7]

I heard: Don’t take sides… then I woke up *I have never gotten a dream with scripture like this before*

Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. Deuteronomy 11:18

And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the Lord thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel. Deuteronomy 17:12

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.  We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.  For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

2 Corinthians 4:6-11

Blessed Union of Souls… A Glimpse Into the Beauty of You

Blessed Union of Souls…

                                                     A Glimpse into the Beauty of You

 

One day I was granted a glimpse into that place of you.  You know, the familiar trenches of your heart you keep so tightly closed.  Oh how beautiful are the rugged edges you so proudly wear, how majestic are His ways.  I saw His fingerprints of comfort and a shadow of His footprints, on days He choose to carry you; when you proudly desired to walk.  I saw the scars you so boldly conceal as the numbing of your heart, in which I scarcely rejoiced.  As I peered further in I understood the dawning of pain by the Light and the why’s in ribbons you tied up so well.  I must confess, it pained me so to see such treasure locked up on one place.

To give love is easy, to receive love is divine.  You are a King at giving, yet receiving you decline.

Carrying on in a determination of love, I kept seeking to see the treasure you hide.  The chambers are becoming of a sacrifice always true, however, the one thing lacking was a piece of you.  On this quest I am purposed to discover what you thought was hidden.  Right there before me, there all the time, was the shattered to pieces remnant of a soul, who deep down desired what he once had in a time of old.

Elated for joy, I knew it was there, seeking, I found what he is not willing to unveil.

I took a glimpse into the beauty of you and found much more than Earthly words can describe.  There were no walls in this secret place, but rather a child in brokenness, where He resides.  You see, it is not your strength I searched so deeply to find, but rather a place of need I could call home.  There is no greater love than to lay down your life for another, however, consider this…  Quite possibly there is one who is made to lay their life down beside the beauty of you.

Embraced by the glimpse into the beauty of you…  Do you know what I saw?  I saw me, as I looked deeper into your soul, sealed upon the etches of pain, seared as a Blessed Union of Souls.

I calmly walked away, drifting into the night and I wondered…  This time, will he seek to find mine?
