And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
1 John 1:5
This is a message to the church, that I love, to those of us who can see that the beast system of Revelation 13 is rising in the earth.
I am just a person seeking God, humbly sharing and asking anyone reading to seek God for their own personal leading in how this applies to them. Some personal background; I have been largely isolated due to severe chronic illness for some years now.

This is a message to the church, that I love, to those of us who can see that the beast system of Revelation 13 is rising in the earth.
I am just a person seeking God, humbly sharing and asking anyone reading to seek God for their own personal leading in how this applies to them. Some personal background; I have been largely isolated due to severe chronic illness for some years now. Amidst the removal of nearly every outside enjoyment, I have needed to seek God for my own survival, and to see Him fulfil what He has promised in my life and in the world. I am sharing what I have heard from Him in this place of separation and seeking.
I hear Him saying the church largely cannot see how close this system is to being completely established, and have not made themselves ready to leave this world. He longs for us to see, and to be ready. This is a last-minute call. Make some time, block out all distractions, and seek God. Hear what He has to say for yourself.
There are two main things that God has put on my heart to share; He desires for us to open our hearts and unburden them as He fills us with His presence. And once our hearts are renewed and strengthened by His love and power, He desires us to repent from any ways that He reveals to us that we have lived outside of His plan.
HEART HEALING
A large part of the reason the church hasn’t been able to see the forming of this system clearly is because we are filled with pain and fear, stopping us from being able to look steadily at the world around for long enough for these things to become clear. Like never before, these hurts and fears need to be addressed and healed in His love.
I believe God wants us to know He truly loves us, more than we can comprehend. It’s believing that God loves us personally and intimately, that opens the door of our hearts to allow His presence in. His Spirit can and will relieve all of the pain and fearful things that we carry there, as we yield to Him.
Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Mtt 11:28
All of us have partnered with God to bring about His purposes in the earth, and the spiritual warfare against His kingdom within us has taken it’s toll. God wants us to come to Him and pour out our hearts to Him to offload these burdens, and heal these hurts.
Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is our refuge. Selah. Ps 62:8
This will enable us to hear His voice, through only love, instead of fear.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love. 1 Jn 4:18
REPENTANCE
It's only as far as we are rooted and grounded in the love of God, that we can truly repent from pursuits outside of His will for us.
Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness leads you to repentance? Rom 2:4
When we are filled with His love and life, everything outside His will becomes less appealing, and we are empowered to truly turn away from sin. There are many admonitions in scripture about being ready for His appearing.
You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect. Luke 12:40
Only one church of seven, the church of Philadelphia, is promised to be spared from the hour of trial.
Because you have kept My word of perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of the testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who live on the earth. And if we do not watch that he will come like a thief. Rev 3:10
Before He appears, we have the opportunity to ask Him to search our hearts for any compromises we have made, to expose anything that we have put before Him, anything we have cherished in our hearts more than Him.
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns. See if there is any offensive way in me; lead me in the way everlasting. Ps 139:23-24
When these things are revealed, He doesn’t want us to feel condemnation or to hide from Him. But instead to come boldly before His throne to receive mercy and grace through the blood of Christ to cleanse us, and His body to heal us.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 Jn 1:9
We must resolve to face these things now if we want to see Him face to face when he appears. Everything that is hidden will be revealed, and He has made every provision for us to be cleansed and caught up with Him when He appears.
I hope we can hear the Father’s call out of His love for us, and His warning about what the enemy’s kingdom is preparing to unleash on the earth. There is no condemnation in Christ; there is no fear in love. But the truth is we are not all positioned in either, fully. In Christ; in love. May we all meet Him at the place of first love, and ask Him to search our hearts, heal and cleanse us, and take us home.
All of the promises of this world cannot compare to real life in the kingdom of God, in right relationship with God and all of creation. Eternity is really what we are all longing for in the deepest place within us. Ecc 3:11.
I hope we’ll all be ready.
Keen to know why we can expect Jesus’ return any day now? Listen to this episode and meet Faisal, the founder of Harpazo Club. Hear why he started it, and his current thoughts about it. Consider his perspective on why the current state of the church and the condition of the world encourage us to anticipate the appearing of Jesus Christ.
Hey Faisal!
I understand your perspective. We are all tried and weary and wanting to go home. Yes?
And yes. I completely agree, and it is obvious at this point that we need Jesus to come! Let's go Jesus!!!!! Let's go Jesus!!!!!
The Cross
The Cross stands alone at the top of the hill
And in my dream, it is not made of wood
But it is white, alabaster or perhaps marble
It stands tall, high as a skyscraper...

The ancient warrior quietly sheaths his sword, and turns to face the tomb at last. Eons beyond count he has defended creation and served its Creator, but the last few days have seemed an eternity by comparison. He has guarded Jesus from the moment he was in Mary's womb. Every angel has grieved the separation from the Son, but none have felt it like him. But that doesn't matter anymore. Every sorrow is about to be shattered. He wonders if the Roman guards with whom he has shared this plot of earth will ever understand the honor they've been given.
The bronze, powerful hands tremble slightly as he reverently places them against the stone. He turns his head to the East. As the first rays of the morning star pierce the thick darkness, he feels a warmth enveloping him. But it is not from the sun. He feels . . . him.
With all the hope in his being, he tilts his face heavenward. His voice, silent since the first hammer fall, almost uncontrollably booms out: "Now, Father?"
The answer rolls over him like a wave, filling him with a strength greater than anything he's known: "NOW!"
All his love and grief and joy pour through his hands as he throws the massive stone aside, and a light greater than the dawn bursts from the tomb like an exploding star. The human guards recover just enough to see the source of the light, then faint into the arms of his warriors, who lay them carefully on the ground. They remain kneeling, joining him and the others already prostrate in awe.
He senses the roaring praise about to burst across the heavens. But this moment of worship without words is the most powerful he’s ever felt. Lifting his face to the radiant presence, there is a primal memory, and an unexpected revelation. As Jesus steps from the tomb, the angel smiles, and whispers, "Let there be light."
