The seperation of light and darkness will be a two way street.

Gideons300 · Aug 28, 2015

.... and this should excite us to no end. It will not just be the evil waxing worse and worse, but praise God, it will be His people, learning the secret of how to walk in victory, becoming transformed into joy filled, fully obedient, holy natured children. You see, we are destined to go out with a bang, not a whimper. We, the blessed generation that will see the return of Jesus Himself for us, are destined to be made Holy, where even the weak.....no, no.... especially the weak, will find the highway of holiness that He is planting us on, to be the most amazing walk imaginable.

There is no doubt the fact that evil men are growing in both boldness and their extremist love for darkness in any and all forms. We hear daily of acts by man that defy ,explanation. The darkness some exhibit is so intense, so satan like, that we could not even imagined it even possible back in the days of I love Lucy, My Three Sons and The Waltons. Evil was there, but in a muted, almost restrained form. Something has given way though, there can be no denying it.

And that brings us back to us. At present, we do not see. We, like all of Christianity, are asleep. Going through the motions, in a nice...even good.... passionless routine. Loving the Lord but still with our habits, our sins, our temperament ruling over us. We cannot even yet imagine what it is like to truly abide in Him, strong in faith, walking with our sins and old dead nature under OUR control rather than visa versa. To go to bed with NO guilt from our own hearts, no condemnation, ....ever, to walk in a peace that passes all understanding, joyful even in sorrow or trying times? It will be the possession of every believer. To truly walk as overcomers of the world, the flesh and the devil. Holiness. A bride without spot or wrinkle. If Jesus came and asked you if you believed He could do this, how would you answer? It is alright if your is no. We have been trained to believe that we can never walk without sins of disobedience. Not slips. Disobedient, knowing full well God is telling us no. And because of that, our shield of faith is down, It is beyond us at present, but not for long. We will know that there is not one door still locked in the mansion He owns. He has been crowned Lord of all. Savior AND Lord, and instead of us dreading it, we realize it is what we have wanted since the day we were saved.

We will soon see something amazing. The church is about to light its lamp, first individually, then collectively... which will then ignite a WHOLE lot more individuals. It will be the final harvest and the preparation to meet our husband. His eyes will be upon each of us, in love, seeing us return the affection, the devotion, the singleness of eye. He will have for each one of us a singular new name, totally unique. He will have eyes only for us, His beloved, and glory to God, in truth, not since the days of the first church, will we only have eyes for Him.

Rejoice! But listen. We will all awake, both wheat and tares. Those with a secret love of evil in one form or another, no matter how seemingly trivial, will soon begin to give way to deeper darkness. There will be no standing still. The separation is beginning and light will not abide with darkness. Those who truly love the light will come to it and as a result, BE it. Not by effort. Not by self denial. Not by extreme trying up our old man, where he still is in there always squirming to get out, and succeeding more often than not. How then?By God in us, causing us to walk as truly new men, exactly as He promised us in Ezekiel 36. The old garbage is gone, by a miracle of God.

We are about to see the work, that if our eyes did not see it, we would not believe it. Ready or not, God is about to sweep us up and love us into full un-conditional victory. We will finally see in our hearts, our souls, a full surrender, and we will abandon ourselves into the strong ever loving arms of our savior. And to our amazement, when we do, with our hearts soft again, just as the day we were first saved, that the desires that once drove us, ruled over us, rule over us no more.

More to come. Aren't you excited? LOL.

Be blessed, all of you.

Live, bones, live.

I believe you are wrong, and what is happening is that God is taking his anger for all the evil out on mankind.

So His bride will be full of worldliness, secret sins, a flesh that controls her and gross unbelief that limits the Holy One of Israel and this is God's definition of 'without spot or wrinkle'? Many are going to be blown away that God will make the latter dat church so pure and single eyed that even the early church leaders would smile in approval.

You need to look at what is going on in the world. It is about all over.

God is taking his retribution out on the world, and it is getting stronger by the day.

God told me not to feel sorry for those in the world who are suffering, because it is his doing, and I need to accept what he is doing as right.

Almost all the People have become totally blind to the truth.

(Matthew 20:16) “So the last shall be first and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.”

(Matthew 7:13-14) “Enter by the narrow gate since the road that leads to perdition is wide and spacious, and many take it; but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

Only a few are still living God’s Word.

And if I were talking abut those in the world, living in darkness and loving it more every day, perhaps you would be correct. But that is not the people I am talking about. I am referring to the wheat, not the tares.... wheat that is asleep at present... wheat that is unaware that God's promises are still yea and amen, and that He not only can keep us from falling but He will.... without fail! Many that now fight against talk of holiness as being 'sin conscious' will find to their amazement that God will indeed restore that which the cankerworm has eaten from the church and despite our lukewarm hearts and worldly compromise, He will indeed cause us to walk in obedience, just as He promised in Ezekiel 36.

And when it happens, and the latter rain indeed surpasses even the former rain in the book of Acts, those who have stubbornly resisted the call of God to walk as living sacrifices, holy and pure, will only then look back on their lives of religion and self rule and the tears will flow, but praise God, only to be replaced by tears of joy and amazement.

Yes, the wicked are growing in their wickedness, but the day approaches, and soon, that the bride of Christ will be prepared to meet her beloved and the 1900 years of going through the motions Christianity will give way to all His children made into overcomers as they learn to combine the blood of the lamb with the word of THEIR testimony.

I pray you do not confuse a church who has lost its way, led into barren pastures by its leaders that can make none healthy and free indeed, with a world that is embracing evil more and more every day. The valley of decision is approaching and the true sheep WILL awake, and find the narrow way, even if Jesus has to go out and pick them up and carry them back into the rest that remains for the people of God. That is the God we serve.

Our God is victorious. There is nothing happening in this world right now that He has not said would happen.

What you have said that God told you is against the premise to love your neighbor and that the Lord wishes that none should perish. We should be sharing the Gospel of Christ, as well as taking care and showing concern for the poor, widowed and the orphans.

What you say that God has told you does not jive with the Word which is the ultimate authority.

We are to do the work of God. Maybe it is not God who is talking with you? Maybe test the spirit who is speaking to you.

1 John 4:1-2
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;

Well, I am 66 and raising my grandson Jack who we were blessed to be able to adopt. He is a live wire, and so you may be right, I may not see it in my lifetime. God has given me no assurances my eyes will see it, but he has definitely assured me it is what He will do for His very confused and sleeping children.

If any choose to doubt it, it is their choice. But if it is all over but the blood letting, as you seem to believe, if truly called children of God do not sin, then what good news is there to share? That means 99.999% of Christians are lost, with no hope at all to ever find rest for their souls. Shall we just tell them they are hell bound and be done with it?

But brother, if God can awaken a sin hardened inappropriate content addict, an angry man who gave no mercy because he thought he was receiving none, a poster child for Romans 7 Christianity, and do such a metamorphosis in my heart that I cannot even recognize myself from what I once was as a Bible believing Christian, then there is hope for all, even the weakest and most severely bound.

He has simply asked me to share what He shared with me, and I can say unequivocally that not one reader here is so far away that God cannot restore him or her back to being a truly joy-filled, obedient child of the most High. Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness and yet know not how to walk it out in this world filled with manifold temptations, WILL be filled and when it happens, the world, who are at present ridiculing our hypocrisy, will look at the work God will do in us and exclaim "Look! That which bore only briars and thors has become again like the garden of Eden."

It is coming, whether I am alive to see it with my own eyes or not.

Live, bones, live.

Do you not see that art present, we cannot tell wheat from tares? Do you not realize that there will be many whose lives have been a total "NO! I will not serve you nor go work in your fields!" who will in the end prove themselves to be wheat after all, and do the will of the Father. We are not given knowledge of who will be saved and who will be lost. Evil men can repent, and likewise, lest we fall from our own steadfastness, men who once loved the Lord with pure hearts fervently can have that agape love wax so cold that the 'yes" they started out with becomes a rebellious "No, I want to live for me, not for you."

We all must be careful to not pronounce judgment, but simply to simply love and if needs be warn everyone. The day of judgment is indeed approaching, but it is not here, not yet. Now is the time for repentance, tears, hunger and hope. The final harvest! Love is the call on each one of our lives, and all the way till the end, we are to be reaching out to the lost to come back to the one who died for them.

It is God’s doing, and I will aid him in any way that is possible.

And therein is the fallacy of your argument. You are making an assumption that the evil increasing in the world is God's retribution but the word tells us evil men will wax worse and worse all by themselves. God is still calling to any and all who will listen. Many have left the church and gone back to fishing as Peter did, because they simply found no answers as to how to walk victoriously in a very evil world. Inwardly, they loved the light, but like the sheep that went astray, they have wandered away to the point one could even mistake them for a goat. But praise God, he can see through the matted wool, the worldly habits, the coldness of heart, and all it will take is one breath of God's Spirit, and it will be life from the dead.

We could take your analogy and look at Lot living among the Sodomites, and using your measure of judgment, assume all were to be burned up in judgment, Lot and His family included. Now is the day of mercy, and for any and all who seek it, they shall indeed find it. It is hardness of heart we must be on guard against. Yes, sin abounds yet more and more, and to the outward appearance, we might assume them hopelessly lost. But let us remember, the thief on the cross was a sinner until judgment was upon him, and yet he still found God to not be willing that ANY should perish, even an evil man such as himself.

Our calling here is to love Him with all our hearts, and love our neighbor as ourselves. Remember, it is easy to love those who love us, who agree with us, but it takes the Spirit of God in a man to cause Him to love the lost even as they are crucifying us. Can it be done? Oh, yes! Yes, it can, and yes, it will!

No I am telling you that Jesus has personally told me we are in the End Times.

It is God’s retribution coming down on the earth at this time.

I understand you believe that. And in truth, it is the end time. But nowhere in scripture, not one verse comes to mind to back up your view. On the contrary, what do you think Jesus meant when he said He would be angry with his own children for their contentedness with doing "their thing", assuming that since God's will was going to be done anyway, why sweat it? In the parable, they oblivious to the call He is making to us for our FULL attention and FULL surrender in this last day, lest the thief come in and steal. Watch! we are told. Are we? Will we? Some will wander so far that what was given them will be taken away. That ought to be a wake up call. Will it be? I pray so.

But praise God, God's house WILL be full, and the call for full heart surrender, full LIFE surrender, I believe, will soon bypass what we know as 'church" and go to the lost, the hurting, the addicts, the homeless, the prostitutes, the very ones Jesus found receptive to true ministry when He walked the earth, the ones who KNOW they are sick and in dire need of a great physician. Sadly, we do not.... yet. But big changes there are coming, and in fact they are here.

Brothers and sisters, what is soon to overtake us us is mind blowing. God wants to literally swallow us up.... no more us, but Christ in us. Like for real. Unity instantly achieved, for we all will have the mind of Christ. But the cost.... oh, the cost! What is this cost? Us. Our life must become His vessel. It should have happened at our new birth, but we were not told. In our salvation, we GIVE ourselves to God, for his use, His glory. And sadly, like all the rest of us, I was not taught that I cannot crucify myself. I offer myself up for crucifixion as a living sacrifice. Our salvation is an exchange, a giving up our life to get his on us.
We cringe. This is making me uncomfortable. It sounds legalistic, cultish. A trick of satan. So we try to avoid honestly considering the gravity of what I am sharing here for any who has ears to hear. It costs ALL. And the last thing to go? The one that we most treasure, our most valuable pearl.... our free will.

(Yeah, takes your breath away, doesn't it. LOL.)

But you know what, when we finally begin to HATE who we are, our 'face' we show people, our secret sin, our disobedience, our worldliness and compromise, our temper, our lust, our addiction, our pride, our emptiness.... when we HATE it and really become desperate like Paul was in Romans 7, crying out not for forgiveness but for a holy nature, full surrender is easy. A delight.

Brokenness is called for but who will have ears to hear? There is no escaping this, or going around it. No time payment plan. This is the sliver of light between legalism..... us doing.... and greasy grace... God doing... where we do nothing as we trust He will change us when gets around to it so why sweat it my sins? Why put our hearts into seeking is face, or pleasing Him. Both side have been wrong.... lifeless.

It is not on us to 'keep' ourselves saved by doing good works. It is not on Him with our works a non-issue in the matter. Glory to God, it is God IN us, and it is then we are filled with the joy we have always longed for, joy unspeakable and full of glory! It is then His bride will become without spot or wrinkle as we discover the secret to walking in total victory over the world, the flesh and the devil. We are to become the second book of Acts church... the last one.

This is our valley of decision, our choosing, us or him...who will rule over us? How will we answer?

Big changes are coming. WONDERFUL changes. Do not fear the cost, dear children of God, it is the bargain of the century and I am not referring to heaven. I am referring to walking with... no, no.... IN His conscious presence all day long. Joy in the worst of circumstances. A peace that passes all understanding. No fear of satan or the temptations He has slain us with up till now. Total victory over the world, the flesh and the devil. Abiding on the vine. Now, in this life. Is it possible? No. It is GUARANTEED.

Do I fully realize how radical this is? Oh, yes. Radically wonderful.

SP, we may have had our differences on certain subjects, but in this I am in complete agreement. I believe that until a person takes the mark, they have the opportunity to repent and turn back to God with their whole heart. Most may not, but praise God, there will be those who escape from the snare of the fowler, even if up till that time they were the poster child for how to live for self pleasure and evil.

Our God is not willing that any shall perish, and is pleading with all to bow the knee in all things, whether we be faithful church goers for 20 years, or a Crip guilty of murder.

Gideons300 · Aug 30, 2015

Many say that true holiness, walking without disobeying our Lord, is simply impossible, and that by raising that as the standard, we will discourage brothers and sisters when they invariably fall. But the truth is, we as a whole are already discouraged, for even after years.... even decades for some... of serving Him, the progress made to being transformed into the image of God is not only painfully slow, for most, we have entered 'marking time' mode. We sin and feel guilty, we even go to the alter for prayer when a message comes forth on repentance that hits close to home for us. But after twenty or thirty of these 'laps around Sinai', we finally conclude that holiness, and purity of heart are simply 'goals' we are incapable of achieving, and so we settle in for the long haul.

We love the Lord, but as for true desire to see every part of our life taken over by the Lord, walking as real living sacrifices? Not happening. Thus our intense desire to walk in purity when we first got saved ends up becoming attributed to the fanciful but immature desires of a new Christian. You know, when we are in our 'honeymoon period', before reality and the strength of the old nature truly makes its presence felt. Given time, we 'mature' into what we are told is our 'deeper' revelation of grace, where we admit we are but sinners till the day we die, and glorify God's grace that will save us even if we sin like there is no tomorrow.

How sad. Just as Paul predicted, after his death, grievous wolves did indeed enter the flock, and the truth that God's will is that we know how to possess our vessels in sanctification and honor was lost. The early rain had for all intents and purposes ended. Time for the long dry growing season, with just enough rain to keep the crop alive. Nineteen hundred years worth. But praise God, I pray you hear this. The book of Acts opened up the church age, and in one generation, the entire known world was turned on its ear. Abject unbelievers would exclaim "Behold how they love one another!". The early rain was our benchmark of what God could do with his people, one that has not been hit, or for that matter even approached in the many centuries since.

So here we now find ourselves, a splintered shadow of our former self. 500+ denominations, each thinking they have the truth.... yes, even we charismatics, but the truth we are being asked to consider and then agree with is that we are missing something...something HUGE. What is it?

Rain.

Do you remember the story in 1st Kings? Israel was suffering a severe drought. King Ahab and Elijah were atop Mt. Carmel, where in an amazing display of faith and audacity, Elijah challenged four hundred prophet of Baal to a duel. Each would build an alter, lay in the firewood, slay an offering, and place it on the alter and then pray to their God to burn up the offering, proving who was the true God.

The 400 went first and in the end resorted to self mutilation to try to get Baal to respond. No response. How I love the response Elijah gave.

He did this after thoroughly mocking his frustrated opponents. Talk about theatrics. He told the multitude to 'come closer' to not miss what the LORD was about to do. A trench was dug around his offering, and he said, go get me water. Lots of it. Four full barrels of it. Pour it on my offering. They were amazed. Do it again. They obliged. Do it again. Three times. How wonderfully significant.

He then simply prayed and asked God to show them the He is the one true God so they could know Him. And the fire came. It burnt up the wood. It burnt up the sacrifice. It burned up every stone in the alter. And it licked the last drop of water that had filled the trench. Glory! That is the God we serve. An ever present help in time of need, and guys, we need Him. When will he move? When we admit we need Him more than our next breath.

Elijah then told Ahab this, and to me, it is the most hope filled, inspiring, strengthening scripture to be found in all the Bible for a time such as this.

"There is the sound of abundance of rain."

-1Kings 18:41

And guys, this is what is my privilege to share with any who will have ears to hear.

Rain is coming, and it will be no spring shower. Our parched souls are about to be inundated with life giving rain.

We have talked about the cost, but we need to see, we are the seed just as Jesus was. Until the seed dies, it cannot bring forth new life. Dying to self is not the end goal of our lives that none of us seem to ever hit. Dying to self is what we were destined to do when we first asled Jesus in, but our gospel has been a half gospel. Jesus is savior. But until he is savior AND Lord, we abide alone. Jesus is still "with' us, but he is not 'Christ in us'. Until we are planted in death, yielding completely, whatever you want, Lord.... we abide alone. Abiding in the vine is impossible for one cannot sin and abide. Do we not see? It is our death that makes the new life possible! Do not fear what God is asking of each of us. And what is that?

"Lovest thou me more than.... you?"

Ours will eventually be a resounding YES! And what will spring forth? The latter rain. And it will have the same power shown by Elijah displayed to the entire world. There will be no people overseas who will never have seen the gospel in action. Not one. So will we approach the amazing vibrancy and power and love of the early church? No way.

We will surpass it, for we are told concerning the early and the latter rains, that the latter shall be greater than the former. Buckle your seatbelts, my wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ. We are about to see the church awaken and light their lamps. It is about to get glorious.

Be blessed,

Gids

I believe you are wrong, and what is happening is that God is taking his anger for all the evil out on mankind.

I was confused yesterday when I read this, and remain confused today. I am saying that just as evil men who love the darkness are increasing g in that evil, God will also make sure His bride who has not been taught that holiness is God's will for us in our salvation in this life, and even if they are, they are left hanging as to HOW it is to be accomplished.

We say 'by faith', but in truth that means we leave it up to God to do it when He is good and ready while we have no part in this transformation, so why worry about it or seek His face for it. It never bothers us that little if any true progress is made in our being changed from worldly sinner to holy saint, so when we live as worldly saints, no one even gives it a thought. This is how far we have slipped from the gospel that exhorts us to give all diligence, to seek a pure heart that loves fervently.

Is it a mess? You bet. Millions of Christians with the best of intentions when they first came to Christ, but now with no faith at all that true victory over the sins that so easily beset them is possible at all in this life. But brother, you are lumping sleeping wheat with sleeping tares, for outwardly they may look exactly alike. Yet, they are anything but.

Will God leave His children with no hope, no instruction, no correction, no ability to escape Romans 7, and then because they are still sinning, simply pour out his wrath on them just like the world? It makes me wonder about the state of your heart, for when you quote scripture, you may speak the truth, but from what I can see, it is not truth spoken in love.

If tears do not accompany our words that can indeed be hard to hear.... if the hearers feel they are already judged and there is nothing but a certain fearful looking for of judgement, why tell them at all? They will simply get defensive or remain in denial.

The message God is awakening us to is an awesome one, but let us not misunderstand. The cost is something our natural man does not like to hear. Oftentimes, hard and very direct words need to be spoken, but the key question is this....

Is the truth spoken in love and genuine concern for the individual we are addressing?

If it is not, it is time to stop ripping out what little hope remains in peoples lives and gently. lovingly, patiently, lead them back into the full truth that Jesus has set us free from the power of darkness, not just its penalty.

Your vision is not about to happen in your life time.

But the day of wrath is now? If that were true it would never happen, it happens before Jesus comes back.
It's not the day of wrath yet. That's after the acceptable year of the Lord.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our God

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

I was confused yesterday when I read this, and remain confused today. I am saying that just as evil men who love the darkness are increasing g in that evil, God will also make sure His bride who has not been taught that holiness is God's will for us in our salvation in this life, and even if they are, they are left hanging as to HOW it is to be accomplished.

We say 'by faith', but in truth that means we leave it up to God to do it when He is good and ready while we have no part in this transformation, so why worry about it or seek His face for it. It never bothers us that little if any true progress is made in our being changed from worldly sinner to holy saint, so when we live as worldly saints, no one even gives it a thought. This is how far we have slipped from the gospel that exhorts us to give all diligence, to seek a pure heart that loves fervently.

Is it a mess? You bet. Millions of Christians with the best of intentions when they first came to Christ, but now with no faith at all that true victory over the sins that so easily beset them is possible at all in this life. But brother, you are lumping sleeping wheat with sleeping tares, for outwardly they may look exactly alike. Yet, they are anything but.

Will God leave His children with no hope, no instruction, no correction, no ability to escape Romans 7, and then because they are still sinning, simply pour out his wrath on them just like the world? It makes me wonder about the state of your heart, for when you quote scripture, you may speak the truth, but from what I can see, it is not truth spoken in love.

If tears do not accompany our words that can indeed be hard to hear.... if the hearers feel they are already judged and there is nothing but a certain fearful looking for of judgement, why tell them at all? They will simply get defensive or remain in denial.

The message God is awakening us to is an awesome one, but let us not misunderstand. The cost is something our natural man does not like to hear. Oftentimes, hard and very direct words need to be spoken, but the key question is this....

Is the truth spoken in love and genuine concern for the individual we are addressing?

If it is not, it is time to stop ripping out what little hope remains in peoples lives and gently. lovingly, patiently, lead them back into the full truth that Jesus has set us free from the power of darkness, not just its penalty.

It is all over. The End Time Anti-Christ is here, and God is taking his wrath out on this world right now.

There are people who I described, as those sitting on the fence, some of these will choose to come with God, but there are not many of those.

Your vision is not for this world, or for this time.

The seperation of light and darkness will be a two way street.
