"....the shift going on right now...."

"....love is taking over .. like all that was before was a precursor .. grace .. openness .. and now the rising of the morning stars in all our hearts .. the sun as noondday...."

"....God is speaking to the mountains of Israel..."

"...i always wanted to see the sky just disappear and such...."

Those are some fantastic metaphors, but I really do not understand a word you are saying......

I didn't read where you got this from but is The Living Word just fantastic metaphors?

The Truth is that The Truth wants to dwell in our life/heart/soul - effectively this means that...

.. you enter The Truth of The Bible as He enters you!

To walk in The Truth of The Bible Creates us Eternal beings - no one but The Living Word will do when it comes to living for real!:thumbsup:

Peace.:wave:

^^IS there a way to be certain to be part of the good here in light?? Because some of us sheep are alone and neglected by less christian friendships see ..
You can be certain that you are in the light when you have no convictions in your heart while praying. When you know your heart is true and your love is pure then you are in the light.
Even though you may feel alone and neglected by other christians; you are never alone, remember Christ promised you that He would never leave you nor forsake you.

Can I then assuredly avoid being in the darkness because we all have gone thru horrendous trials as I have and was praying often for God's mercy or help??
We all go through trails at some point or another, the trails of some are more horrendous than others. Remember what the Lord said to Paul; "My grace is sufficent for you". Those who suffer the most in this life and still hold fast to the hope of God will have greater rewards in the next life. Remember Job; he never departed from his faith in God, he never doubted God's love or God's righteousness.

Is it the best thing to ask for prayer that each true sheep make it? We all know there is a hell and do not want to get deceived to be there and need his promises too so much!..And assurances we can still be His sheep from then on yet.
Christ said He would leave the ninety-nine sheep to go after the one that is lost. It is God's will that all should be saved. Do not give up your hope in God's love; God will not give up His hope in you.


can there be any encouragements [I know I feel isolated from any way to view all that openly]. Many see are not real christians that ignore other's cries that are so obvious it seems to me.
It is true that many christians have a "holier-than-thou" attitude. We are not supposed to judge God's servants. God will deal with them.
I know that is not of very much consiliation when you are reaching out for help. God hears your cries and He sees your tears.
Let God be the friend that you call on and depend on. God knows your needs.
If God has not sent you a friend at this point in your life; it just may be that God wants some alone time with you. God Loves You!

Peace unto you :pray:
Steve

Here is a message I feel is relevant to this discussion~
One Stick...Etz Echad

The message is titled, The Restrainer.

Also wanted to share this~from a woman I know in Texas. (same author as the above message I linked to}
I pray this will speak to hearts here.


THINGS HAVE CHANGED




As I put out earlier, this month is the true first month of the year according to His word. And this first month has Passover, for by the Lamb and His blood, every thing is new, thus the beginning of the year.He always planned it thus, for before the foundation of the world, the Lamb was slain.

When this year blew in, there was a great wind… and as mentioned earlier, something CHANGED. Something has changed!

It is so clear by His Spirit that we have come into a season of more of the end things. And I believe Israel is acquiescing and compromising. He will deal with the nation of Israel also.

And this is why there has been such heaviness and weeping. But this has lifted and now there is pure warning.

For the first time in many years, I no longer have this ‘longing to go to Israel’… I tell you something has changed.There is a brother that lives overseas and has said the same thing to me.

Now we see some things happening in Israel. More news on this will come later. But I can only tell you that we are pressing into serious events.

For a time He had us standing strong against some things, but beloved, His hand is lifting!There is no longer this ‘stand’ in me. Do you hear this? We can only do what He calls us to do… empowers us to do.

If the ‘stand’ is lifting because He is lifting His hand, then we are coming into some deep birth pangs. If He is allowing the final decisions, then it is time to decide that all that we are belongs to Him and Him alone. For His word is clear that at the end of this age, He Himself will send a delusion, that those who did not love Him… those that did not receive love of the truth… will go into the final deception.

The Quartet is playing loudly now, and shaking will come. Remember when the Titanic sunk, there was a quartet playing on her decks.

In 1999, He began to show me about Tony Blair, the current chief of the Quartet. He gave me a profound vision.

This vision came while thousands of pray-ers were gathered and praying. Suddenly He showed me a rickety world stage, and on this rickety wooden stage, almost like scaffolding, was a man on strings, like a marionette. I had to get really close to see who this man was… he looked familiar and yet I had to get really close. He had gray hair and the ears were recognizable… then I saw who it was… Tony Blair!

Now at that time I liked Tony Blair, but He unfolded that Tony Blair would become front and center on the world stage in dealing with Israel, and now we see him as the chief envoy of the Quartet.

But, again, the vision He gave me of Tony Blair, was of a puppet on strings… someone else is pulling his strings. And again, in the vision, I had to look really close at this ‘puppet’ because at the time Tony Blair was much younger looking, but in the vision he looked like he does now, gray hair and all.

Just after seeing Tony Blair… as he was going up and down on those strings… another man began to come on to the scene. He had grey creased slacks, with cuffs and was wearing oxford shoes. All I saw was his leg and he kicked over the stage, the world stage. His leg looked like that of a man who was tall and lean.

I believe this is the coming man of lawlessness. And He was showing that just prior to his arrival, Tony Blair would be a man front and center in dealing with Israel, who was merely a puppet.

When Tony Blair retired as Prime Minister of the UK, I thought, ‘Father, what happened?’ But little did I know that he would then become the head of the Quartet, but our Father knew. What He showed all those years ago was true and He knew!

So what He showed 12 years ago is coming to pass, just as He prophesied, exactly as the vision He gave. Soon the entrance is coming… and it will be housed in massive, penetrating deception and darkness.

Don’t be looking for the ‘boogie man’… no… this will be a man that many will adore unto idolatry. All those programs on television have primed the pump for the final adoration… even having the name ‘idol’ in them.

Get ready… stay steady… in Yehoshua, our true King! The Sar Shalom!

Get so very close to Him, our Shepherd, our King. He is our only hatikvah… our only true Hope… our only refuge and strength.

For the time of shaking and deception is rising… let us cleave to the unshakable One… let us cleave to the Truth in love!

In His shalom,
Constance

“For the secret of lawlessness is already at work – only until he who now restrains comes out of the midst.



And then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Master shall consume with the Spirit of His mouth and bring to naught with the manifestation of His coming.



The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, and with all deceit of unrighteousness in those perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, in order for them to be saved.



And for this reason Elohim sends them a working of delusion, for them to believe the falsehood, in order that all should be judged who did not believe the truth, but have delighted in the unrighteousness.”



2 Thessalonians 2:7-12

Yes i agree, its a spiritual change and it is underway as we talk, many will see things and hear things, as Jesus calls all to Him in unitity as one real body. I love it and wait for the Lord to do what he does best.
Many believers are shut in in places and obscure and unknown and not in the lime lights at all..They need much fellowship from others if that's possible . They do not own nice homes or even a car etc. But their soul's not measured by this .It would be nice that in heaven they are revealed to all. The idea they are poorer does not mean they are less saved or born again.Many likely will be richer in heaven some day.

I believe the church in the West may need go underground one day [not as a defeat but to even avoid the wolves out there too].. Many claiming to be saints maybe only hate the truth but in the noises in society you cannot see it .Kind of like the tares in Matthew 13.You will know some day or the second coming as well.

You know brother, attaining worldly riches are a deadly curse and not a blessings from God at all - unless true thankfulness rules our hearts.

Though it is true the Dragon demands recognition for his from God stolen goodies, it is best to resist him and not ever serve him - a true abomination to be!

Yet the sad The Truth is, that especially we Westerns are far to busy serving devil's lies with our own godforsaken ever burning egos, rather than loving God, all of ourselves, or our next door neighbour.

Indeed the Western World has raised both the Beast of the sea and the beast of the earth with the death toll in the hundreds of millions over the last 400 years! and we know from the Bible that its destruction lays at hand.

The Truth God looks for are the treasures He send down in our hearts in the first place. Riches that counts is Life in the Spirit of humbleness, gentleness, caring, sharing, love, peace, rest, patience, togetherness, self-control, honesty, openness, grace, forgiveness, tolerance, endurance and the likes as Life in such is from Eternal and not selfishness, competing for status or recognition, cars, houses, land or any life in temporarily created stuff.

So yes let us seek Life in His Life alone - for as you say Heaven is reserved for those who carry a noble truthfully loving heart!:thumbsup:

Dear Michael Collum. Yes, something is changing. Love is taking over, and Jesus told us in no uncertain terms: " The first and great Commandment is: Love thy God with all thy hearts, with all thy souls, and with all thy minds. The second is like it: Love thy neighbour as thyselves." Then Jesus points out: " On these two Commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Love is what God wants from us, selfless and no conditions asked. St. Paul describes Love very well in 1) Corinthians, chapter 13, and especially verses 4-8. Straightforward and short enough to remember easily. God is Love, Jesus died out of Love for us, He paid the prize we could not, and became our Saviour, and now we are again reconciled to God. The Bible keeps telling us: Repent, change our selfish and unloving character INTO: Loving God with all our Beings, and loving our neighbour, ( all others, friends or not friends) as we love ourselves. We start by treating all we know and all we meet, as we would love to be treated. God will notice our sincere efforts and He will approve and bless us. Jesus will give us His Love and Joy to share with all around us, and the Holy Spirit will empower us with His Love. Jesus told us to " ask and receive," and then become as God wants us to be: His loving children/sons and daughters. The people around us will notice and try to be same. Love is very catching, Michael, and love is a mighty sword, in fact a Christian`s sword to overcome all Adversity and Malice. We might stumble often, but we shall get up and ask God`s forgiveness, and God will forgive our trespasses, as we will forgive those who trespass against us. Our love will lead us on, and with God on our side, Who, or What can be against us? I say this with love. Greetings from Emmy, your sister in Christ.

Maybe some of them are true brothers and sisters but they are still in the early stages of maturity, maybe they're still learning.

Heaven will be [by even intuition] so perfectly great in how people in glorified bodies will be open and honest and for eachother with no games played there and can be very comforting to know this ( OUR world is so very fallen thru sin that it gets blindsided from that real 'fellowship' that is very honorably intimate and is just so real to others to help others to want to desire what's good ) ..but we cannot work to earn a ticket to heaven as were so unholy and sinful is why Jesus does that for us. We need His Salvation he accomplished .We cannot by our man-made created 'religions' bring that about .Not done by religious performances. The broadway in Matthew 7 is trying to get to heaven by all those religious traditions of the earth like the New Age or any thing such and anything of world. Not trying to start an argument so do not misunderstand this. Read your bibles to discern it. Trying to say heaven will be like an eternal family or even closer.

I have for the past 6 months. I believe it will be the ending of times sooner than we think.

Hab 2:3

For the revelation awaits an appointed time;
it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come
and will not delay. :amen:

Love is taking over and you are so observant Michael.I agree that the "Body" of so called (self called?) believeers ahs failed to practice Love, and people like ourselves are trying to change that.
Long ago, when I was a kid, they used to air commercials from the Unity movement (to which I would later become a member, although that later is now in the past)
There would be a celebrity who would introduce himself such as "Hi I am Earnest Borgnine and the Word is Forgiveness"
I cannot remember who the celebreity was that introduced "LOVE" as the word of the day BUT I can say that it was so groundbreaking to me then as a kid, you can only imagine how I still revere it. Something about looking at someone with Love, through the eyes of love shows the most beautiful, indescribable thing beyond what we as humans have imagined. I am trying to find that quote (or a copy of the book I used to have)
We as Humans think we know Love, jsut as we "think" we know God let us move now beyond that Love we think we know into that true unending Love from Which is God.
