Thoughts of a Watchman
Updated 5/1/11
The Battle Belongs to the Lord.
Not by Might nor by Power but by my Spirit says the Lord.
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the Truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in Heaven.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
The weapons we fight with are not weapons of the world.
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all.
And you'll know we are Christians by our love.

In the coming conflict the Body of Christ will soon be under attack from all sides, and to the extent that the antichrist can turn us against each other, from within. How do you fight a war and love your enemies at the same time? Love always protects, but can you really say that you're protecting your enemy when you're shooting at them? In the days and years to come before the Son of Man's Revelation 19 return God wants us to truly love and pray for our enemies and leave their fate up to Him. During our coming discipline we should pray for our enemies like Jesus prayed for those who crucified Him, as He prayed, "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.". Then once we've turned back to the Lord and received the Holy Spirit of Power we could pray and ask the Lord to touch our enemy's hearts to want to defend and protect us instead of trying to hurt us. We could ask the Lord to convict them of their sins and to lead them to seek a relationship with Himself. If we are filled with the Holy Spirit of Power and directly threatened by our enemies there are many things that we could ask the Lord to do to protect us without killing them. We could ask the Lord to fill them with Holy Fear so that they will just run away, or we could ask God to blind them or to make them all sick so that they will surrender to us and then God could heal them all through us. We could ask the Lord to put them all to sleep, or to erase their short term memories, or to make their weapons feel like they are burning hot, or if we feel overwhelmed we could just ask God for help and let Him decide what to do with them. Although we should always pray and try to defend ourselves in non-lethal ways, once we've received the Holy Spirit of Power we must distinguish ourselves from the devil's forces by refusing to kill; while our enemies, for the most part, will be trying to kill as many people as they can. Love is the Christian trademark. It's who we are. John 13 : 35 - "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." 1John 4 : 7 - 8 - "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." John 15 : 17 - "This is my command: Love each other."

Once our discipline is complete, the Lord sends down His Holy Spirit of Power, and our persecutors are, for a short window of time, not as serious of a threat, it's harvest time and the repentant souls of our persecutors will be like precious gold to our Heavenly Father. Now our response to the Lord's Discipline must be to repent, to draw closer to Him, to trust Him, and to love and pray for those who the Lord is going to use to discipline us. Do not love the devil, do not love evil, but love and pray for those who are captive to the devil to do his will. Truly, it will be through those who love God that the Lord will then show His Love to the world. (Side Note: The Lord may deal with those who threaten us with supernatural lethal force like we see in Revelation 11 where God sends fire out of the mouths of the two witnesses to destroy anyone who wants to harm them, and this is God's Decision to make, but there must be no innocent blood on Christian hands. I pray that nowhere in the world will Christians find themselves fighting and killing their Brothers and Sisters in Christ, and that nowhere in the world will a true Christian murder anyone. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.)

(Note) - Satan is the merciless master of deception, misdirection, betrayal, lying, delusion, confusion, division, contention, mistrust, fear, pride, evil, and wickedness. Although we know from Scripture what forms the coming discipline will take from Revelation 6 -Attempted Conquest, War - (chaos), Famine, Plague, and Wild Beast, it's impossible to accurately predict the moves of the oppressor in real time because he can always change up and redirect his efforts. We know that the four horsemen attacks are coming, and we will soon figure out that much of the leadership "elite" in Europe, Iran, the rest of Middle East except for Israel, some of Central and South America, some of Asia, all of the World's Superpowers including the United States, the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control, etc. are mostly all being directed from the top down, either by the direct leadership or through intimidation, by the predicted emerging evil world leader with most of their efforts being coordinated from behind the scenes like a multinational multi-headed beast. This predicted evil world leader is known to Christians as the antichrist and to Muslims as the mahdi, and I believe that he will eventually try to champion Islam over all other religions with the help of his powerful and well developed worldwide support network. I also believe that many of the key current events, now and in the recent past, that seem to be driving world affairs and regional public opinion are being scripted and coordinated on both sides of the argument by the dark forces within countries of whom we are told are enemies to move the masses down the path to their own destruction. Through the incredible combined power of unlikely united world leaders, who only appear to be enemies, scripted coordinated world events, the TV dominated news media who interprets these events for their target audiences, nationalism, multinational corporations, and each nation's entertainment industry that conditions their people on how to think and reason; we and the citizens of the world are all being told the story that the elite bad guys want us to hear; each from our own country's prospective. Sadly, this story that some call the narrative is leading us all on a collision course down a path of thought that is designed, if God were to let it run to it's conclusion, to divide us into killing each other so that the ruling elite can then control what's left of mankind. Although it's really hard to know how many people are truly in on this Satanic plan and how many are just caught up in the deception, the twist is that there must be at least a few, if not more, who are knowingly leading us down this path of destruction who do not see themselves as monsters, but who believe that they are doing all of this evil for the greater good of saving the planet from the ill effects of human over population and over consumption. For them the word "sustainability" is a code word for reducing the world's population down to what they would consider to be more manageable levels.

I also believe that the plague attack of the 4th horseman is going to be delivered at some point by one of the vaccines that we're going to be ordered or strongly recommended to take, but by which one I don't know. Thus if the emerging government tries to force rush everyone to take a swine/bird flu or a weaponized plague or an anthrax or any other vaccine or preventive medicine, in a short period of time, because they say that there's a national emergency, then I would pray very seriously about whether to take this vaccine or not. Also now that they've passed the National Health Care Bill in America if they suddenly require that everyone take a vaccine or lose their health care coverage, I would then also recommend that you earnestly go to the Lord in prayer as to whether to be vaccinated or not. James 1 : 5 - "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." It seemed like there was something that was just not right about the National Health Care Bill that no one had the time to read or study before they rushed to force it on the American People, it's almost like they had to get it done for their plans to proceed.

(Note:) From what I've heard, the bird flu and the swine flu viruses have lived in our environment for a long long time, perhaps since the days of the Creation and that they're usually only a threat to us when our systems are extremely stressed or when we eat food that has been contaminated by the disease. With that understanding in mind it could be that swine flu vaccines are safe if a person is relaxed in normal times, and deadly if their physical and emotional systems are stressed. I heard that most of the people who died in 2009 from the swine flu were ones who's bodies were already stressed with other health problems. If the world is in turmoil like it clearly would be with the ride of the first three horsemen, then there's little doubt that our society and especially our youth will be severely stressed by those days. It's possible that even one shot of a normally safe vaccine may be a killer under these stressful conditions, and the government said in 2009 that the youth would need two. Although the disease attack could still be something else, if you, your family, or the world is under an undue amount of stress, then I recommend that you earnestly seek the Lord as to whether or not to take, or to give your children any vaccines or preventive medicines. There will most likely be stiff penalties for refusing the shot so it's important that you know God's Counsel and make your decision based on your faith in God. Normally God would protect us from these kinds of situations, and I believe that He will come to our rescue in the end, but until then we are going to have to repent, draw near to Him, and patiently endure under His Discipline. (Update: There's a chance that they are trying to start a deadly flu pandemic or at least make us believe that a flu pandemic has started in the southern United States. In 2010 we were in a situation where a corporation controlled the Gulf of Mexico as if they owned it, and they were putting any and all the toxins that they wanted into the air and water. If it's the bad guys plan to make this all look natural and spontaneous, then the seagulls, who scavenge in the region's now toxic with chemical sludge landfills, will most likely be considered the smoking gun bird to human link that warns the world that the pandemic has come. Is it possible that they are trying to recreate the world war one toxic gas warfare environment that sparked the flu (Spanish Flu) pandemic of 1918? However, once again even if a real pandemic is somehow sparked, I would still pray very seriously for God's Direction before you take a vaccine of any kind. If the Gulf oil rig drilling was allowed to proceed even though the higher ups knew that it was likely to explode then this whole crisis may have been designed to expose people in the Gulf region to these specific toxins that were being released into the environment. In 2010 I read an article that said that an outside organization was giving the gulf clean up workers breathing safety equipment, and that they were told that they couldn't use the safety equipment on the job. Why would anyone send workers out into hazardous situations and then demand that they not wear safety equipment? Does that make any sense? It's almost like they wanted their workers to be fully exposed. If the evil powers are exposing people to toxins on purpose, then there is every reason to believe that they will try to spread the flu with vaccines to people groups that they would want to eliminate.) (Note: Since wild pigs also likely scavenge in the same now toxic gulf region landfills, the bad guys may then claim a flu mutation where bird and swine flu have mutated together to make a deadly super virus.) (Note: I read an article years ago that said that many who died of the 1918 pandemic flu died because of dehydration, and that if the people who attended them had kept pushing liquids that many more may have survived. The article also said that once someone's skin began to turn blueish that all you could do for them was to make them as comfortable as possible and pray.) (Update: I read an article on 9/6/10 that said that some scientists believe that the bird flu will pass from birds to pigs and then to humans. If you remember it took months to produce vaccines for the swine flu, but if they say that this new flu has a swine flu mutated component they may then say that everyone should take the old swine flu vaccine that they have already produced. Once again we should pray before taking any vaccine because if they set the stage for the toxins to reach the birds and the pigs, then they have little interest in protecting the public from the flu scare that they would have engineered.) (Update: 9/23/10 I read an article today about how some company is working on a vaccine for weaponized plague. Now that they have put weaponized plague into the narrative, it could be the disease attack. There may even be multiple threats all calling for the public to take multiple vaccines. There is no way to accurately publicly predict the bad guys moves in real time when they have the ability to redirect their plans. Remember, the devil is a trickster. Determining which is a good vaccine and which is a bad vaccine will most likely be like a shell game. This is why everyone must pray for wisdom as to whether to vaccinate or not based on the wisdom that people can only receive directly from God the Father.) (Note: Now that the nuclear power plants in Japan are reported to be leaking radiation it is now possible that the bad guys could use this crisis as their reason for how a super flu pandemic was sparked. How many movies have we seen where something that is exposed to radiation mutates into a monster?) (Note: There are so many ways that the bad guys can script a contagious sickness threat, but whatever reason is given remember to pray and ask the Lord for wisdom to know what to do.)

(Note: The Bible says in Malachi 4 : 6 that the mission of the Elijah is "He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse." Then this is from Micah who is talking about the day of the watchmen, Micah 7 : 4b - 6 - "..... The day of your watchmen has come, the day God visits you. Now is the time of their confusion. Do not trust a neighbor; put no confidence in a friend. Even with her who lies in your embrace be careful of your words. ...... a man's enemies are the members of his own household." When viewed together a time is coming when men may have to turn their hearts to the protection and well being of their wives and specifically their children, and their enemies will be in their own households. Although this is not set in stone since the decisions on what they do are still in the enemy's camp, I think that in the days of confusion ahead as war rages, chaos reigns, the economy collapses, and food becomes extremely short that there may come an extremely strong fear inducing highly emotional appeal for women to have themselves and their children vaccinated and it will be so emotionally powerful, perhaps even demonically so, that it will almost be irresistible to women. If this happens and a man can see through the enemy's attack on his family, then he is going to have to become strong and step in and protect his wife; and their children from his own wife's fearful panicked response to the enemy's sudden emotional alarm. The yes or no decision to vaccinate the children is one that could get every family in an uproar if the family is divided on what is best for the children. Men, the antichrist is out to kill your family so it may well be up to you to stand your ground if you are convinced that that is how the Lord is leading you. In Matthew 24 : 6 - 7, Jesus tells His Disciples not to be alarmed during times of war, earthquakes, and famines, and although the 4th horseman's sickness attack is not mentioned in this specific Passage, I would think that God would not want us to fear or panic during this time of testing as well. May your hearts be turned to God and to your children.)

(Note:) After the events of the failed Christmas Day bomber I'm beginning to think that the leaders of the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security may not be driving the coming storm, but instead are caught under the authority of those who are. If we can go by what the media has reported, the FBI has been bullying the Secret Service with threats of prosecution for torture since the new Administration took office, and this has effectively frightened these organizations into protecting themselves. Now with our own Secret Service neutralized the Administration signed the order to bring in the antichrist's International Secret Service, Interpol, to spy on the American people and gave them full immunity in the process. Although it could all be a part of the scripted drama, the way that they treated the failed Christmas Day bomber may be telling. The FBI talked to the bomber for a little while and then shut him up by getting him a lawyer before the Secret Service or the Department of Homeland Security were notified. Those at the FBI cut the others, that they are suppose to be working with, completely out of the loop. Why would they do that? Wouldn't you think that it would be better to have more people question him then less? Can you see the coordination of effort between the dark forces that got him on the plane and the ones who now shield him from all questioning by people who may not be dark forces who could put two and two together? I apologize to the Director of Homeland Security for thinking that she might be a dark operative. I now believe that she's likely not a player, but sadly one who is being played. Where is the surveillance video that would show the mysterious wealthy looking fellow who got the bomber on the plane without the proper paperwork? There were eye witnesses who saw the exchange, and these eye witnesses are highly credible; one was even a lawyer who knew the tricks that someone may use to try to discredit a witness. I listened to an online recording of this lawyer describing how the FBI agents came to his house and tried to trick him into making a wrong identification and how it was the saddest day of his life because he realized that instead of trying to discover the truth they seemed instead to be looking for ways to distort it. One of the eye witnesses was a Christian woman who was bringing little orphan children from Africa to come to live in the United States, and it may have been for these that the Lord directly intervened and prevented this tragedy. The questions arose, everyone thought about them for a minute, and then the media moved on. As I pondered these events I was reminded of the Vince Foster investigation under the Clinton Administration, years ago, where Mr. Foster was found dead in a muddy field from what was ruled to be a suicide and yet it was reported that there was no mud on his shoes, oops. Those in power made the ruling, the media thought about it for a minute, and then everyone just moved on. It's these same dark forces who will try to divide the World into eating each other until what's left for them is a more manageable bite. If the dark forces bring a charge against your Christian Brother or Sister, go to God and ask Him if the charge is true before you believe it. If the charge seems damning ask yourself if it falls in line with someone who has the Spirit of God in their hearts. The dark forces can bring any charge against anyone, they can control the critical power of the accusation, they can control any investigation, they can produce any evidence that they please, and most all of the media will take their cues from them and trumpet their rulings, on whatever charge, as if it's the truth. Obviously, this is not a new approach for the dark forces. Although it was God's Will for it to happen, Jesus faced false accusations, false charges, a false friend, and false testimony and it was the leaders of His Own People and the Roman authorities and not an unruly mob who falsely accused Him, arrested Him, questioned Him, humiliated Him, spread the bad report about Him, tortured Him, condemned Him, sentenced Him, and then crucified Him. (Note: Since the Time Square bomber's attempted bombing there has been a move afoot to take away the citizenship rights of American's who are simply accused of wrong doing. Could this lead to innocent American citizens being held indefinitely in America without trial? Could this attempted bombing be part of a set up for a future witch hunt of persecution against Americans who speak out against the coming storm? Perhaps.) Psalm 37 : 7 - 9 - "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret - it leads only to evil. For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land." We must patiently endure the storm and refuse to get angry or fret.

(Note: Months ago someone asked what I thought about the arrest of the Christian militia in Michigan and I think that I replied off the cuff that they sounded crazy. As the media trumpeted a plot to murder police officers in the hopes of causing a popular uprising I couldn't help but think that that was the way of Barabbas not the way of Christ. The parallel was striking. But then after considering that the FBI is becoming more and more political, that they control the power of the accusation, the investigation, the questioning, all the evidence, and what's told to the media, I had to hold back judgment and still believe the best about those arrested; because in America I think that we're still innocent until proven guilty. Though if anyone is considering a violent uprising against the government all Christians must follow the teachings of Jesus and not the way of Barabbas. Until the Lord pours out His Holy Spirit of Power upon us and directs us into spiritual battle we have to patiently endure His Discipline. We can't physically fight against God's Allowed Will and to try to do so would be crazy. For now we must repent, watch, pray, and trust as our faith is tested until we are told by God, by receiving the Holy Spirit of Power, to actively resist the emerging evil world leaders. Clearly, there is no way that we can righteously stop the coming storm before the enemy makes his moves. God commands us to love. What is about to begin is a spiritual contest between God and the devil that is beyond all of our united abilities to effect by politics or force until we are included by God into the spiritual struggle by receiving the Holy Spirit of Power. There are many lost souls in the enemy's camp that the Lord wants to reach, save, and bring to Heaven during the end times harvest. May God keep Christians from fighting against other Christians, may God keep those who claim the name of Christ from murdering anyone, and may God bless our prayers for our enemies by turning them into our Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Remember it's the meek who inherit the earth.

(Note:) Once again, Please, Please, Please, I beg you, do not take matters into your own hands and try to shoot it out with the power of the antichrist alone or in groups, unless you are fighting against him in prayer. He will have the combined strength of all of the world's superpowers including what's left of the American Military at his disposal, and if you try to resist him before you've received the Holy Spirit of Power, then you will not only be throwing your own life away, but you will be in sin murdering soldiers and law enforcement officers who are only trying to honor their duty to their posts. Then once you've received the Spirit's Power remember to ask God to use only non-violent means if you need to resist foreign "peace keepers", national guard, and hometown civil authorities. I recommend asking God to fill them with Holy Terror so that they will just run away. However, don't forget that it's a priority to reach all believers with the Holy Spirit of Power, so once that localized situation is taken care of continue to spread the Spirit until we have reached the saturation point. Micah 5 : 7 - 9 - "The remnant of Jacob (Those who revere God's Name) will be in the midst of many peoples like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which do not wait for man or linger for mankind. The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, which mauls and mangles as it goes, and no one can rescue. Your hand will be lifted up in triumph over your enemies, and all your foes will be destroyed." God has promised us the victory in this first round, but we have to wait for Him to pour out His Spirit of Power on us before He will win the day for us.

(Note:) If you are presented with any form of audio or video were I'm recorded saying something different from what is written in this Journal, then go by what is written and not what is said. For example, if I'm heard saying that the Bible says that you have to take a vaccine, know that I misspoke to a friend and I quickly corrected what I said noting that it's the government who will say that you have to take it; however, if I was being recorded you probably won't hear the correction. God has given us verses to obey ruling authorities, but He has also given us verses to resist the devil. You will have to seek God on whether or not to vaccinate. Or if I said something like, "the bad guys are going to say that the Christians are aliens", and it was recorded they may cut the tape so that all you would hear of what I said is, "the Christians are aliens." Many things that may have been recorded have the potential to sound really bad when taken out of context or spliced together with other things that I have said. I know because sometimes after I say something innocently I think about how bad it would sound out of context. If I have been under the bad guy's surveillance for who knows how long they will control the accusations and the sound bites and it's probable that you won't be shown the fruit of the Spirit; just the worst I can be, what can be created digitally to make someone look really bad, and what can be taken out of context to paint the picture of a total hypocritical loser. In the very near future I believe that it's going to be really hard to know from the media's reporting who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. It will be hard to know the truth when you don't know who to believe. I pray that if God provides healing miracles as Second Watchman's Testimony to this Message that you will hear the Spirit Himself speaking to you through this Work as it stands alone, and that you will not close your ears to it just because of the involvement of someone who will likely be painted as a total hypocritical loser. Try to remember that if God testifies to His Participation then this Message is God's Message, and that sometimes He even uses losers to deliver His Messages.

(Note:) Please pray for the world's Christian leaders, military, law enforcement officers, secret service agents, and their families. I believe that since they pose the greatest earthly threat to the enemy's plans that they will be at the top of his list of those he will try to eliminate. I fear that many of our Military Brothers and Sisters, those of whom it's been discovered through testing that they would not fire on the American People, have been purposefully concentrated into units and sent into a land locked trap that has been touted as the "Right War". In the near future I believe that they, as well as the forces of the free world who do not yet bow their knee to the antichrist, will be betrayed by the coordinated efforts of the dark forces of the world's power "elites" to insure their destruction. It breaks my heart that the Lord is going to allow these painfully bad things to happen to us. God is going to take the strong and the sleek from among us, but then He is going to make the weak and the broken strong in Him. Although it will hurt deeply to be parted from our Christian loved ones, try to take heart and understand that God has a specific plan for everyone in these few short unusual end times years, and that before you know it we will all see our fallen Christian loved ones again. God is working everything out for the good; we have to hang on to that. (Note:) In the Bible, Paul, who took the Message of Christ to the Gentiles, said that he was the worst of all sinners. There is no one who is beyond the reach of the Lord to save and to use mightily in the coming days. Don't hold the sins of the past against each other. Behold, God is doing something new. As God has given to you freely, freely give.

(Note:) There are three main stories that are running through the media are like three of the horsemen of Revelation 6. War / Chaos - The nations who are already in a war or gearing up for a coming war include - Iran, Israel, the UK, France, Syria, the United States, Russia, Turkey, Georgia, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, North Korea, South Korea, China, Taiwan, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, India, Venezuela, Radical Islam, Libya, Egypt, and others. Hyper Inflation (Famine) - The third Horsemen is the coming famine spoken of in Revelation 6 who says that people will work all day and they will only make enough to buy a little bit of bread. This is hyper inflation. It was predicted in the Bible 2000 years ago and it looks like the American dollar is very close to beginning the hyper inflation process, especially in regards to food and energy prices. It's also likely that the bad guys will find ways to reduce the supply of food in the world by doing things like cutting off the water to the California farmer, polluting the food that could be harvested from the Gulf of Mexico, forcing farmers to plant with genetically modifying seeds, killing the bees that pollinate the crops, using the new food safety bill to over regulate the food industry, causing wild fires in Russia, influencing the world's weather, outlawing fishing and hunting, disrupting the distribution of food with energy shortages, and or disrupting the harvest with energy shortages. Hosea 8 : 7 - "They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head; it will produce no flour. Were it to yield grain, foreigners would swallow it up." Death - Plague - Although the swine flu could once again be hyped by the authorities to accomplish vaccinations, a new threat that is being talked about is what if the swine flu, that is supposedly easier to catch, combines with the bird flu, that is very hard to catch, but that kills around half of everyone who gets it. Since I believe that we are approaching the end times cycle I am very suspicious of anything that has to do with vaccines. A pandemic flu threat could be hoaxed since the beginning panic could be started by people unknowingly being fed flu tainted food, and vaccines could then be rolled out by the oppressor like a targeted bio weapon insuring that the people that he would want to get rid of, like Christians and gun owners, are dosed with the virus. Also, I've heard that it's possible for the evil emerging world leader to spray plague bacteria on cities to make it look like there's a deadly flu outbreak only to scare the people into taking a deadly vaccine. When the days of panic come from the first three horsemen it will probably be reported that something deadly is a threat to us and that everyone needs to get a vaccine right away. Remember the enemy is a trickster. Pray before you panic, and may God grant you wisdom and mercy for our coming days. Ultimately, God will decide who He is going to take home to Heaven in the days to come, and who He is going send out as a laborer into His End Times Harvest Fields. In the few short end times years the vast majority of Christians will go home to be with the Lord, at some point along the way, through physical death. I take comfort in knowing that the Lord is in control of the Universe, that He is Good, and that for the Christian, going home to be with God is not an end, but a wonderful new beginning.

(God can forgive everyone of their sins no matter how deeply we've ventured into evil. Those who turn to Christ for forgiveness and who turn away from their sins, with the exception of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit which Jesus said was a sin beyond forgiveness, will be forgiven.)

(Note on blasphemy of the Holy Spirit: This comes into play when the Spirit of God is obviously at work like when Jesus healed the sick and drove out demons, and the Pharisees said that Jesus was helping people by the power of the devil and not by the power of the Holy Spirit. Clearly it was the Holy Spirit who was healing people so the Pharisees, who proclaimed themselves to be the leaders of God's People and should have known better, blasphemed the Holy Spirit by calling His Work the devil's work. Jesus said that this sin is unforgivable either back then or now. When God begins to work powerfully again in our day this will most likely again become an issue. Children of God and those who claim to be Children of God will be held to a higher standard when it comes to acknowledging God's Hand behind the work of the Holy Spirit. While those who are still not yet Christians will be given a measure of grace in what they say as long as they are speaking in ignorance. (There are some practices today that many Christians say are works of the Holy Spirit which in fact are not. See the last Chapter of this Message - "Testing the spirits")) Mark 3 : 29 - 30 - "But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin. He (Jesus) said this because they were saying, "He has an evil spirit."

(Note to the People of God: God calls us to love people and to lead them to a right relationship with Himself. It must be our hope that everyone will have as much time as God allows them to repent and come to a right relationship with Jesus so please do not hate anyone, but tell them the Truth in love in the hopes of bringing them to repentance and leave the judgment of their souls up to the Lord. Jesus commanded us to love everyone, friend and enemy alike, but we can defend ourselves if evil shows aggression towards us, however don't physically resist the civil authorities until after the Holy Spirit of Power is poured out and you can resist aggression in a non-lethal way.)

Note on hate speech: The end times are coming and for those who are committed to their wickedness this is God's Last Call. Telling someone the painful Truth about what happens to the unrepentant is not hate speech, but love speech. I understand how some people can confuse what hate speech is, because God's Truth goes against what they love and they just hate to hear God's Truth. Although those who love wickedness demanded and received tolerance from Christians they now in turn tend to demonize Christians at every turn. The Truth is the Truth and if it's now a crime to say that God says that specific behaviors are sinful and must be avoided by those who claim to love the Lord, then being a Christian has become a crime and our inability to pass on the morals of our fathers to this generation has brought us right back to the days of first century Rome.

No matter what the cost, we must live out the Truth resolutely in our lives and speak the Truth boldly to one another in love. However, it's equally as important that when we speak the Truth to the lost that we do it with compassion in our hearts for the people to whom we are speaking. To do things like protest at the funeral of a fallen soldier, whether we believe that we are speaking the Truth or not, is unbelievably unkind to the loved ones of the fallen hero, and totally disrespectful to the memory of someone who sacrificed his life for our safety. God does not hate America, God hates sin, all of our sins, even the sins of the ones who are holding the protest signs, but God loves humble repentant souls. Clearly, we are not going to be very effective peacemakers between God and unrepentant man if we hold up signs that tell people that God hates them. Besides God doesn't hate them. God loves them, but the sin in their lives puts up a wall between them and God that they need to ask God for help to remove, and God will not cleanse people of their sins unless they are willing to submit to His Authority. This may sound harsh, but from an earthly perspective who would hire any employee who they already knew would willfully defy their authority as boss? Furthermore, most employees are not free to dress any way that they would want to dress at work so why is it so hard to understand that we would need to be dressed by Jesus in righteousness to be with our God in Heaven? Romans 13 : 14 - "Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature." In the end, sin and rebellion will not be allowed in Heaven so man must decide now, while he is still limited in his earthly pre-resurrection body, whether he is going to submit to God or not. God has created us in His Image, but He will not bring us to be with Him if we are just going to act like the devil; proud, rebellious, destructive, selfish, hurtful, and evil. The time we spend limited by our earthly pre-resurrection bodies is like our internship to test our heart's commitment to God under different circumstances to see whether we will choose to love God or choose to stand against Him, and I believe that God loves us all and wants every soul that He has made to choose to stand with Him and to love Him back. We see a glimpse of this in how God tested the hearts of the children of Israel in the days of Moses. Deuteronomy 8 : 2 - "Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart whether or not you would keep his commands."

In sharing the Truth we should try to figure out how to do unto others as we would want others to do unto us. Yes we would want someone to warn us about the dangers of rebelling against our Lord and to tell us of what Jesus did so that we can have a friendship with God, but how would we want that Message delivered to us? Would we want someone protesting at our son's funeral? How open would we be to protesters of any kind in our deepest moment of grief? Come on you guys, the Truth and the love go together hand in hand, and we have to take into consideration how to present our words of Truth so that they have the best hope of being received; though present them we must, and apologize to those who we've wronged, we should. 1Corinthians 13 : 1 - "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal." We should be thanking the families of our fallen soldiers and law enforcement officers and even give them gifts to show our true appreciation. They are our heroes who hold the line between what's good and the unrestrained aggression of evil. When the times of testing come we should submit to their authority over our lives until we receive the Holy Spirit of Power and then we must not harm them. However, if we are ordered to take a vaccine or to give one to our children, we should pray to see whether the Lord wants us to take the vaccine or to passively resist this order.

(Note: Soon, as we enter into the end times harvest we should focus most all of our efforts on helping and reaching the lost souls, around us and throughout the world, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ; because we will just have a small window of time to reach the lost. Although we should help to restore and maintain justice, law and order, and to protect people from evil's aggression, we can't save our culture, economy, society, or democracy from the rule of the coming antichrist, who will be given the power and a window of time to rule the world: He will rule after the bulk of the end times harvesting is completed, and before the Revelation 19 return of Christ.) Daniel 7 : 21 - 22 - "As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and defeating them, until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom."

(Note on Baptism: Although it's good for everyone to be baptized after they have made a commitment to follow Jesus, the act of baptism is not what saves a person's soul. A soul is saved by true faith in Jesus that is proven by turning away from sin and obeying His Word. Usually one of the first things people do to obey His Word is to be baptized. Any Christian can baptize any other Christian and it should be done by full emersion in water and in the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All Christians who survive the Lord's Discipline are meant to be the laborers of the end times harvest field being directed by the Spirit into the specific fields and the specific tasks that we are to perform in bringing home the lost.) Matthew 9 : 38 - "Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."

(Note on the Authority of Scripture: This Journal cannot be trusted unless the Lord testifies to His Authorship and confirms the inspired prophetic voice of His Servant, by performing the multiple supernatural healing miracles that I have personally prayed for and mentioned to others. 2Peter 1 : 20 - 21 - "Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." 2Timothy 3 : 16 - "All Scripture is God - breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." Isaiah 51 : 16a - "I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand - ........")

(Note: I believe that Jesus physically arose from the grave, and that God's Children will also physically rise as directed by God. Luke 20 : 35 - 36 - "But those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God's children, since they are children of the resurrection.")

Note on idol worship: God hates this practice and He will be very strict in punishing anyone who chooses to worship an idol even if they also try to worship God at the same time. Everyone can only serve one Master, and that Master must be the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, through His Son Jesus Christ.

(Note: Though some may argue that the resurrection of Christ never happened, the fact that His Followers went from frightened men hiding from the authorities to bold witnesses for Christ, willing to die for their testimony that Jesus really did rise from the dead, is extremely strong eye witness evidence that they really did interact with Jesus after He arose. Something must have happened to change them. Further, if they were lying about what they said they actually saw and experienced then not only would they then have been tortured and killed for nothing, but if they were lying, as Jews, they would also be condemning their very souls to Hell. No one in their right mind would risk so much for something that they knew for a fact was a lie, and this was not just one man, but a group of men. Since the Bible records that these were just simple ordinary men chosen at first glance almost at random, who then went out to reach the world with the Gospel; from their eye witness testimony and the lengths that they went to affirm their testimony we have to conclude that Jesus really did rise from the dead proving Himself to be God.)

(Note: I believe that this is the Message that the Lord has given to tell the people. If you are presented with things that I've posted to this blog that were edited out please do not hold them to the standard as having been received from God. I have written about many things and I've made many edits, but this is the Message that I believe that the Lord wants to communicate at this time. The other thoughts, writings, stories, and edits that I have written in the past, if not placed in context will likely prove to be pretty confusing.) (If you are presented with e-mails that I've written to various people in the past understand that this has all been like an unfolding story. When the story began I had one set of thoughts and conclusions as far as what was going on, but then as the story unfolded I adjusted this thinking and these conclusions as more and more insights from the Bible became available and God began to explain the bigger picture. For example chapters in the Bible that I've read several times along the journey suddenly began speaking in ways that were previously unseen. I believe that what is in this Journal is from God, but I'm sure that some of the e-mails that I sent, especially early on, will sound very strange. If they do please understand that at the time I was just figuring things out, that what I was experiencing brought with it a measure of fear, and it was all coming most unexpectedly.) In the midst of it all I have been greatly comforted by this passage. Isaiah 51 : 12 -16 - "I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you that you fear mortal men, the sons of men, who are but grass, that you forget the Lord your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth, that you live in constant terror every day because of the wrath of the oppressor, who is bent on destruction? For where is the wrath of the oppressor? The cowering prisoners will soon be set free; they will not die in their dungeon, nor will they lack bread. For I am the Lord your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar - the Lord Almighty is his name. I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand - I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who say to Zion, 'You are my people'"
