(Note: He is incorrect about the 7th trumpet (Rev 10:7, Rev 11:15) as the time of the gathering of the church. For several reasons including the fact that the 7th trumpet is not the same as the "last trump" from 1 Cor 15:52. Remember that John wrote the Revelation around 95 AD and Paul wrote to the Corinthians about 20 years earlier, in about 54-56 AD.)

My ASEA Testimony - More Energy & Stamina the Natural Way

This product is the answer to my prayers, literally! Lets not forget to maintain our health. It's easy to be hyper focused on the times we live in and seeking for the spiritual things of God, but He wants us not to forget about the health of our body.

3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

Eccl 11:10 So refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you, is meaningless.

Word of the Lord Jesus: I am Exasperated! The People Will Not Turn Their Heart to Me!

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1aVhVOUwic

Word of the Lord I received on May 3rd, 2013.

"I am Exasperated! The People Will Not Turn Their Heart to Me!"

I share this word because I told the Lord Jesus I would pray. This has been put on my heart to ask the praying Saints to please join me in praying for the hearts of the people to turn to Jesus, and for the Christians to WAKE up and turn back to their first Love.

The people are in such a deep sleep. A delusion is upon them and they are saying to themselves that everything continues as it has from the beginning, and they remain willfully ignorant of the signs. The signs are sent to wake the people up to the times and to warn them to repent and prepare for the coming of the Lord and the judgment of the world! They are not responding despite the intensity of the signs all around us. What a dire situation!


Jer 4:19 O my soul, my soul! I am pained in my very heart! My heart makes a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, Because you have heard, O my soul, The sound of the trumpet, The alarm of war.

Jer 4:20 Destruction upon destruction is cried, For the whole land is plundered. Suddenly my tents are plundered, And my curtains in a moment.

Jer 4:21 How long will I see the standard, And hear the sound of the trumpet?

Jer 4:22 "For My people are foolish, They have not known Me. They are silly children, And they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, But to do good they have no knowledge."


PRAY!!

Warning of Spiritual Attacks & Beware of the Angry Watchman

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEz8FB7QkTU


Spiritual attacks are increasing against the Bride of Christ. I believe it is the nephilim that are responsible. Keep all doors to the enemy CLOSED and put on the full armor of God. I recommend a deep study of each piece of the armor for a greater understanding of this vital aspect of our walk as a Christian.

Full Armor of God:
Ephesians 6:10-18


Beware of the angry watchman! Unsubscribe from these mean spirited and hateful people. They believe they are serving God and the body of Christ by calling out anyone they do not agree with and go so far as to say the person is going to hell.

They are not conducting themselves according to the word. There is a pattern set forth in scripture for dealing with error, deceivers, and heretics and anyone you may disagree with.


John 13:35 "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if you have love one to another"

1 Corinthians 13:1-13
James 4:11
Matthew 7:1-5
Matthew 18:15-17

Is the First Resurrection in Revelation 20:4-5 the same as 1 Thessalonians 4:16?

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZysgD9klRU


Expository Bible Study: Is the "First Resurrection" that is mentioned in Revelation 20:5 the same resurrection found in 1 Thessalonians 4:16?

1 Thessalonians 4:13-16
13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Revelation 20:4-5
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection

What does the term "first Resurrection really mean in Revelation 20:5?

The word "first" in verse 5 is the Greek word "protos" G4413

Some definitions in the Strong's Concordance:
Best, first, first of all, first importance, most important, first one, first things....

Using the Thayer's Greek Lexicon to break down the true meaning of the word for that passage we see that it is implying:
1. either in time or place, in any succession of things or of persons;...
b. "the first' of two"...
Source: http://biblesuite.com/greek/4413.htm

There are 2 "types" of bodily Resurrections:

First resurrection to eternal life in a glorified body:

Revelation 20:6  Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection [G4413- protos- first of two]: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

More scriptures about the TWO types of resurrections:

Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

Luke 14:14  (Jesus mentions the first type of resurrection, of the just)
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

John 5:29 (Jesus mentions the two types of resurrections)
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

The First Resurrection takes place in VARIOUS STAGES:
Jesus Christ is the "firstfruits of the dead."

(firstfruits G536) http://biblesuite.com/greek/536.htm

1 Corinthians 15: 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

There was also a resurrection of the Jerusalem saints when Jesus died on the cross which should be considered part of the first resurrection. Matthew 27:52-53.

Still to come are the resurrection of "the dead in Christ" at the Lord's return (1 Thessalonians 4:16) and the resurrection of the martyrs at the end of the Tribulation (Revelation 20:4). DIFFERENT PEOPLE!!

Revelation 20:12-13 identifies those comprising the second resurrection as the wicked judged by God at the great white throne judgment prior to being cast into the lake of fire. The second resurrection, then, is the raising of all unbelievers; the second resurrection is connected to the second death. It corresponds with Jesus' teaching of the "resurrection of damnation" (John 5:29).

The event which divides the first and second resurrections seems to be the millennial kingdom. The last of the righteous are raised to reign "with Christ a thousand years" (Revelation 20:4), but the "rest of the dead [that is, the wicked] lived not again until the thousand years were finished" (Revelation 20:5).

Note: The Old Testament Saints will be resurrected when Jesus comes to the earth as per Matthew 24:31, Mark 13:27. Note they are gathered from the earth AND heaven. This is ALSO part of the first resurrection!

God bless you and MARANATHA!! Sarah B.

Repent and believe in Jesus Christ now before it is too late! He is coming soon!

Romans 10:9... if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Rom 10:10  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Rom 10:11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."

Get baptized, it is an outward expression of your faith, but this does not save you. Gentiles are baptized in the name of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit.

Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

It is very important to get a bible and read it!

How Is Your Walk?

How Is Your Walk?

Last Thursday I posted a sermon by a Pastor from Uganda named John Mulinde. His testimony profoundly spoke to me and I found myself weeping and repenting before the Lord after I watched it. I received several emails and phone calls from others who also had the same reaction.

In the video I posted Pastor Mulinde gave his testimony of a powerful visitation from Jesus. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is a message from Jesus Christ, the Living God because the scriptures He gave went through my heart like thunder. As I read all of the scriptures Jesus gave the Pastor, I saw them in a new light and revelation was opened to me. I want to do a recap of John's testimony so I and others can read it.

Would you be ready to meet Jesus if He came today?

Jesus told John Mulinde that if He came for His bride today, the Pastor would not be taken. Jesus told him that it is written, He will appear to those who wait upon Him. (Heb 9:28, 2 Tim 4:8, Titus 2:13).

Jesus told John that he would not be taken because he was not living his life as a person waiting upon Him. (1 John 3:1, 2, 3) His walk and his ways were not the Lords. Although John preached against ungodly things, he did some of those things himself and his heart was not truly for God and His ways. Jesus reminded John that it is written in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. Jesus told him that his life was filled with filth, although he walked with the outward appearance of a Christian man, he was covering things in his heart that the Lord sees. Jesus told John that he was not ready to meet Him.

Jesus gave these scriptures to John to illustrate that many in the church are like the ungodly world. Romans 1:18-20, 28-32. Read these closely, they are not just for those who reject God, as I always assumed:

Romans 1:28-32 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,  being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

Jesus also gave the scriptures Romans 2:1-11, 17-24 to illustrate that there are unrepentant hypocrites in the church who teach and preach what they do not practice. By doing this, God's name is blasphemed among the ungodly.

John knew that the reason he and others might not be taken when Jesus comes for His bride is written here:

Romans 2:9-11 There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.

What Jesus Said About His Church

John Mulinde said that Jesus told him His church has turned their backs on Him and everything He did for them. The church has gone back to living in the world of human desires, human effort and human wisdom. He described the things the church does in His name but with human effort and wisdom. Jesus said His preachers of the word have traded their souls for worldly things and speak from a worldly spirit. They tell the people it is OK to live in self-will and do what they want. “They comfort my people in their sins instead of calling my people back to me. My people live in utter woundedness, therefore lashing out at each other and never coming to true forgiveness. (Isaiah 1:1-6) They live in selfishness, hopelessness and bitterness because of the pain of their lives. Not accepting that I have paid the price and by my stripes they have healing. It is a finished work. They will not stand in the full inheritance of what was done on the cross. They have rejected my Spirit and created their own experiences that they call the Holy Spirit. This is the greatest grief to me.” (Jeremiah 2:13-14) “My heart is grieving because the Day of the Lord is near. It is a day of wailing, of agony and a day that no man can stand. Every hidden thing of men’s hearts will be revealed.” (Please read Zephaniah 1:10-18, Zephaniah 2:1-3.) Jesus told John Mulinde that he was to be a witness to the nations and to His people to warn them to repent and turn back to Him and surrender completely to Him.

Jesus Warned the Seven Churches There Is Overcoming to Do

In Revelation 2:18-29 Jesus tells the church in Thyatira that they will be thrown into “great tribulation” if they do not repent of their deeds. In Revelation 3:1, 2, 3 Jesus tells the church at Sardis that if they do not wake up He will come as a thief, and they will not know at what hour He will come to them. (Mat 24:43, Luke 12:39, 1 Thes 5:2, Rev 16:15.)

Jesus warns the Laodiceans they will be spit out of His mouth and advised them to go buy gold refined by fire and white garments to be clothed. All of these scriptures are speaking about believers who are not overcomers. Jesus is warning that many will be left behind and are headed for the fires of tribulation because they are asleep, not looking for Him, lukewarm and live like the ungodly, unrighteous world.

Saul Verses David

John Mulinde said that the Lord was confronting him about his ways and not just a specific sinful act. And this is despite the fact that in his ministry John was seeing people healed and delivered and he performed miracles in Jesus name. Jesus told him that these miracles and signs are not a sign of worthiness. Jesus said He does the miracles because He loves the people. (Mat 7:21-23)

John said that the Lord gave him the example of Saul and David, and how each was called as a king and prophet. Each of these men had sinned against God, but David had a heart that was for the Lord and His ways. Whereas Saul was only concerned about what the people thought of him. The Lord Jesus was calling John Mulinde out of his ways and into the ways of Jesus Christ. The Lord said to him, stop living in your human ways and start living in MY ways!

My Own Walk

Since becoming a Christian, I have dealt with and repented of many sins and have been healed and delivered of much. But an issue remains where I want to leave my job and move on. I have even been shown by the Lord I will be leaving. I have tried to be patient but many times I am impatient with the situation and it has affected my attitude, which is sometimes so negative that some days I hate to go to work. I have become bitter and resentful. The Lord showed this has effected the fact that He can't bless me financially because of it. Therefore I have made about the same salary for the past 5 years. Never able to really get ahead. This is my own fault!

After I watched John Mulinde’s testimony I was so totally convicted. The Lord reminded me that this is the job HE GAVE ME. And I was put in the job for my own good, to learn how to be a servant and to love and pray for the unlovable. Talk about a humbling experience! As I was weeping and repenting before the Lord, He spoke to me in His still small voice; “Glorify ME, in you.”

I am learning that “overcoming” is something we do each day. A new day means I must decide to allow the Lord to lead me that day and to walk in His victory. This is why Paul said we must have patience to run the race before us. And many of you also need to overcome in many areas, job, spouse, family, heath, financial, etc. These things are set before us to help us grow and overcome.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. (Also refer to Hebrews 12:1.)

Brethren, our lives are no longer our own. We can no longer live for ourselves but for Him who died and rose again. ( 2 Cor 5:14-15) Then the Lord can help us overcome the things that beset us. Then we will be ready to meet the Lord.

Today I say, Lord, I will glorify YOU in me. Praise Jesus!

In Christ, Sarah

John Mulinde Message of Repentance and Preparation to Meet Jesus

This message is a must hear for every Christian. Especially today's Laodicean church and the foolish virgins.  This message brought me to repentance before the Lord. I challenge you brethren to examine your own walk through this man's testimony and the scriptures he gives. This message comes directly from Jesus Christ as a warning to the church prior to His coming for His bride. Would you be ready to meet Jesus when He comes to gather His bride? Are you really looking for His appearing?

Read these scriptures:
Matthew 25:1-13 (The wise and foolish virgins)
Revelation 1-3 (The 7 churches)
Romans 1:18-20, 28-32 (The church is like the ungodly world.)
Romans 2:1-11, 17-24 (There are unrepentant hypocrites among us. God's name is blasphemed among the ungodly because of US!)

Daniel 9:27 Prophecy Watch - The Unbreakable Alliance - Brit Amim

Prophecy watch!!

President Obama's trip to Israel on March 20 is officially called "The Unbreakable Alliance." In Hebrew this is "Brit Amin" or "an alliance between nations."

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

The Blindness of the Gentiles

Dear Saints,


This video is from Steven DeNoon who is a Jewish Christian. His website links are below. He addresses a continuing error that many so called Christians believe that the Jews in the land are not the "real Jews". That is just pure devilish nonsense. Some even go so far as to call them Zionist pigs. In my opinion all error and deception occurs because of not loving the truth, and then by not rightly dividing the word and twisting of scripture. Below is an excerpt from a post I did called "Israel is Torn."

Anti-semitism, Persecution and Lies

The vision the Lord gave me speaks of the torn condition of Israel and also of the great persecution that has gone on for centuries and is once again increasing. (Deuteronomy 31:16, 17)

Some of the persecution is coming from those who claim to be Christians. Some examples of the apostate beliefs in the church concerning Israel are, replacement theology and Christian Palestinianism. It does not help matters when people like Texe Marrs and those of his ilk who have a devilish hatred for the Jews, teach that the Jews in Israel are not the real Jews. That is ridiculous! Mr. Marrs and these pathetic apostates mis-handle the scriptures in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 where it says: "I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not,..."

In fact, the Holy Spirit gave me the proper interpretation of those scriptures.

Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.
Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

The corresponding scripture is: Rom 2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.

The reason Jesus said these "Jews were not Jews" is because they were not believers who have been circumcised in the heart. In addition, Jesus said they are "the synagogue of Satan" in the same way that we are the "temple of God." The hateful Jews who persecuted the early church were a temple (house) for Satan to operate through.

The Spectrum of Rewards - Chuck Missler

Dear Saints,

Great short video by Chuck Missler about the rewards of a Christian! He speaks about the bride of Christ. Do your own research as always!

After you watch this, read my commentary below about the bride of Christ.

In Christ, Sarah



Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4426EnZsQXA

My commentary on the Bride of Christ

I agree wholeheartedly with Chuck Missler that the bride is a set apart group with in the church/ body of Christ. I believe the scriptures support it. There is a group represented by five wise virgins who go into the wedding chamber and the door is closed. The wise virgins had been faithful and watched for the Lord just as Jesus instructed us in many, many passages of scripture. (Mat 24:42, Mat 25:13, Mark 13:33-37, Luke 21:36, 1 Thes 5:6, 1 Peter 4:7, Rev 3:3,10)

The foolish do not go into the wedding chamber because at that time Jesus is not their husband, and they have been unfaithful. (Rev 2:20-22, Rev 3:15-19)
When the Lord started to give me the revelation of who the “bride” really is, I was led to create a new blog to share that revelation. Here is the link if you want to check it out. Personally, I believe this is crucial information to know and understanding this has changed my walk with the Lord. My relationship with Christ has become one of great intimacy and devotion and sincere longing for His presence.

In addition the Holy Spirit opened my eyes and I saw very clearly that the bride is in heaven in Revelation 19 - BEFORE Jesus comes to the earth with all the saints. Revelation 19 is the wedding of the Lamb and then the second advent of Christ is depicted. Please read Rev 19, Zech 14: 5, Jude 1:14. (I would read the whole chapters in context.) It is clear to me that the "saints" who come with Christ are the bride, the resurrected/raptured faithful bride that had been in heaven during the “bridal week” - 7 years, in the place Jesus prepared in John 14, the wedding chamber. Also see Isaiah 19:26. (Read the whole chapter.)

The gathering/rapture and the second advent are two separate events. I never understood this before until I went into the meat of the word on the subject. In the same way that you cannot understand the nature of the Godhead without putting together all the scriptures to see the big picture, the rapture/gathering of the bride is also understood in like manner. It's in the meat of the word!


I want to show you something. Take a look at Matthew 22 where Jesus tells the parable of the King and the wedding of his son. It turns out that part of the parable came to pass literally. It tells the story of how Jesus came, was rejected by his own people, Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed in 70 AD  by the Romans, the gospel went to the gentiles, the bride (gentile church) will marry the King at the marriage of the lamb. This has been partly fulfilled and is also yet to be fulfilled. With that said, it is important to understand that in like manner the parable of the foolish and wise virgins in Matthew 25, where the bridegroom (Jesus) comes for the bride, and the foolish are left, will occur exactly as Jesus says in the parable. The bride are the wise virgins that will be raptured to the wedding of the lamb, the foolish will be left behind. It is important to understand that the parables have a literal meaning behind them. I hope you can see this!

Frankly I do not like the term Pre-tribulation rapture. Because I think it should be called "Pre 70th week rapture". (Re to Daniels 70th week.) People have "knee jerk" reactions to certain words because those words have had meanings attached to them. Unfortunately "Pre-trib rapture" is one of those words that has been demonized. Because it does not mean we do not go through trials and tribulation. Look at what the Christians in Egypt and Syria are going through! In the west we may have it coming our way soon.

It will get very dark spiritually. Jesus said in Matthew 25: 6 the call to go out to meet Him is at midnight. That is traditionally when the groom would come for His bride in the Jewish wedding. To me this means the time when He comes will be very dark, as in gross darkness.

Again, I want to reiterate not take my word for it, study to show yourselves approved!

In Christ, Sarah

The Coming Slaughter of Christians

Dear Saints,

This one is really going to ruffle some feathers. But oh well, if I am not willing to speak the truth then why bother at all?

Get out your Bibles and get ready to rightly divide the word along with Patrick Heron as he explains the wise and foolish virgins in this video teaching. Its good!

There is a very forceful movement that is coming against the doctrine of the pre-tribulation rapture of the bride of Christ, the wise virgins, and the promise God made that we are not subject to wrath. Whether Gods or Satan's, He said we are not subject to wrath, period. (1 Thes 5:9, Rom 5:9)

Many teach that the church will be doing mighty exploits during the tribulation, and that God will somehow protect all of His righteous people through it. Daniel 11:32 may be saying there are exploits done by those who know their God during the tribulation, but there are many more scriptures pointing to the slaughter of the Christians. The evil will be so great, that the only thing anyone will be able to do, who does not go along with the beast, is survive until they are caught and killed.

The tribulation period has been romanticized by some and made to sound like it will be some kind of miracle revival period and proving ground/purifying time for all Christians. Do they not believe that the blood of Christ and what He did on the cross is enough to cleanse them? Do they not believe it is the Holy Spirit that purifies us through sanctification and not by our flesh enduring tribulation? That is not biblical. Although many will come to Christ during that time, the scriptures declare that they will be slaughtered.

Don't take my word for it, of course I know you won't, study it for yourself like I did. I saw it because I wanted the truth and because the word teaches it, it is there! Not because it's popular, because the very opposite is true now. It is not popular because Satan wants people to believe they don't have to warn their family to be ready to go out and meet Jesus. Satan wants you to believe that you can convince them during the tribulation period, because you will be here to help them.

Tell them the truth.
In Christ, Sarah

Carter Conlon - Bear Fruit or Burn (Burn and Bear Fruit)

Saints,

This sermon by Carter Conlon of Times Square Church was a blessing to me. I hope it blesses you too!

Everything the serpent sowed in you will be destroyed; his power will be gone. The cleansing fire of God will come to us and reclaim us as His own. Burn with a passion for God, burn with a love for His Word, burn with thanksgiving for what He did on the cross! Burn with a desire to let Christ be Christ in you! We can only behold the Lamb of God when we come to the end of ourselves.

Are you covering your failure with religion? Are you operating in your flesh and relying on your own righteousness? Are you trying to reconcile your failures in your own flesh and not through the power of God?

We cannot bear fruit in our own strength. We don't have the power in our flesh to change ourselves, only the lamb of God, Jesus Christ has the power to change us.

It is an awesome thing to come to the end of yourself. Because the end of ourselves is the beginning of God! Amen!

In Christ, Sarah

PS Be sure to watch until the very end, the prayer is awesome!!

Vision: The First Trumpet

Dear Saints,

I had a night vision in the early morning of January 1, 2013. I had awakened sometime around 1:30 am or so and when I closed my eyes I saw this vision play out. A night vision is not a dream. This vision was very interesting because the background was black and the images in the vision were gray. It kind of reminded me of a negative of a photograph but it was like a movie. I tried to focus and take note of everything that was flashing before me but I just could not see everything clearly. After much prayer about it I decided to go ahead and share what I feel I do know at this point.  The scriptures that I was led to and what I believe, at this point anyway, is the interpretation of the vision are below.

This is what I saw and wrote down the next morning when I got up. I should have gotten up at that time and wrote it all down. I convinced myself I would remember it all in the morning. I won't do that again. From now on I will always write it down immediately as I did forget something important that was in the vision.

Here is what I saw:
A giant hand came down in the center of the vision. (I believe this is the hand of God.)
On the left side of my view I saw an angel with his back to me, he had wings.
Off to my right I saw a large group of people gathered together, in distress. I felt like they were crying out to God. I felt that the Lord God was going to save them.
I saw meteorites and fire falling down like rain in the distance.
I saw a man trying to crawl out of a hole in the ground in the foreground.
I saw a trumpet. (This was revealed later in prayer, as I had forgotten that a trumpet was in the vision.)

I have prayed much about this vision. Here are the scriptures I was given that go with the vision:

Rev 8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

Exodus 9: 22-26

Exd 9:22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
Exd 9:23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
Exd 9:24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
Exd 9:25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that [was] in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
Exd 9:26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel [were], was there no hail.

Goshen means "drawing near." I felt that the people in the vision were "saved by fear." God will draw many near to Him by pulling them out of the fire. Many people will decide who they serve when the trumpet judgments begin. Everyone on the earth is going to have to choose.

Jude 1:23 And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

There is nothing new under the sun and that which has been will be again. (Eccl 1:9, 10) The plagues of Egypt will play out again as they seem to correspond with many judgments in the Revelation. But this time, instead of Moses stretching forth his hand, it will be the hand of God that stretches forth to judge the nations and the wicked on the earth.

It is interesting to note that there will be angels who preach to men on the earth. They will tell them to worship God and not to take the mark of the beast. See Rev 14:6-11. I am not sure that was what the angel I saw in the vision was doing. It is possible since I knew the people in the vision would be saved. The angel may have blown the trumpet. I just do not know as we only see and know in part. (1 Cor 13: 9, 12)

Based on the scriptures I was led to and the images in the vision, and the witness of my spirit, I believe this vision ties into the first trumpet judgment. The ultimate purpose of spiritual gifts from God is to use the gift to point people to Jesus Christ. If the Bible is true, which I know beyond a shadow of doubt that it is, then everything written in it will be fulfilled at the appointed time. Until then, our duty is to be ministers of reconciliation. We can proclaim that Jesus is Lord by using Bible prophecy to point people to the truth. The Apostles used prophecy to witness to people and we have an awesome opportunity to do it also. Clearly, many prophecies have already been fulfilled and are even now coming to fruition. At some point in the future, the first trumpet will sound and many will tremble at what is happening on the earth. But many will believe the Bible was telling the truth and will turn to the Lord to be saved.

Maranatha!

In Christ, Sarah Beveridge

Make Today a Day to Repent and Pray for the Harvest

The Laborers are Few!

Dear Saints,

Many Christian leaders are calling for Gods people to pray and repent in unison before the Lord today, Sunday January 20, 2013 to try and save our nation.

I also ask you to join me and take the time to be with the Lord today, and until Jesus comes, to pray for our families, our friends, coworkers and our government leaders that the Lord will bring in a harvest for the Kingdom of God.

Brethren we are in dire straights, and as bad as it is, this is only the beginning. But this is right where God wants us. Psalm 34:18 The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

I look at my own experience of coming to Jesus Christ and I know that this is an ongoing strategy of the end time harvest.


Let us build our house on the rock and not "sand."

Don't you find it strange that we had two back to back tragedies in our nation that had the name "Sandy" ? That is not a coincidence and frankly there are no coincidences with our Almighty God and He continues to try to get the attention of anyone who is listening. Jesus warned us that if we build our house on "sand" and not the rock that is Christ, then when the floods and winds come, our house will be washed away.


Mat 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Mat 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
Mat 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

And great is the fall of America happening right before our eyes.

Brethren, I know you feel like I do, helpless, vexed and frustrated by watching our nation and it's people be destroyed as if in a slow motion train wreck. If this truly is time for the end of America and this is Gods will in order that all things may be fulfilled, then of course our prayers cannot stop it. This could go on for many years as the Lord continues to let the birth pains and contractions separate those who are His and bring in the harvest. I believe that we must pray for the harvest, much more so than praying for our nation.

The evil is getting so great that it will get harder and harder to function in society. And that is exactly what the Bible says! (Mat 24:4-8, Mark 13:28-29, Luke 17:26-27, Luke 18:7-8, 1 Tim 4:1, 2 Tim 3:12-13, 1 Thes 5:2, 7, 8, 2 Thes 2:9-12, 2 Tim 4:2-5, etc.) And some people will wake up and are waking up and asking, what is going on?

In closing I just want to encourage you to put on the full Armour of God and stand in this evil day! (Eph 6:10-18)

In Christ, Sarah Beveridge

Vision: Israel Is Torn

Hos 6:1...for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

On May 27, 2012 I had the following vision:

I was in bed about to go to sleep and as I closed my eyes I saw a vision of a torn piece of blue and white fabric. I knew in my spirit that this represented the people Israel. The torn fabric I saw did not appear as a flag. The Lord then confirmed what He was saying in the vision by the scriptures I was led to: Hosea 6:1-3 and Isaiah 30:26.

Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
Hosea 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. 
Hosea 6:3 Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain unto the earth.

Isaiah 30:26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

(As I always like to remind you, please read all the scripture chapters in context.)

Why this Vision?

Dear Saints the reason I share this vision is to impress upon you the importance to keep Israel and the Jewish people in your prayers. If it was important enough for the Lord to show me this vision so that I would pray for them, then I believe it is important for all Spirit filled Christians to do the same.

 If we rightly divide the word, we know that God has not forgotten Israel (Rom 11:1) and He will finish their transgression (Dan 9:24) very soon. Although the prophecy in Daniel 9 is complex and spans thousands of years and much is spoken of there, the final "week" (7 years) that Daniel mentions in Dan 9:27 concerning a covenant with many, is when God will finally deal with His people Israel and Judah. That is why this time is called the time of Jacobs trouble. (Jer 30:7).

Zechariah 13:8, 9 says that two thirds of the Jews will perish and only one third will survive.


The Third Day is Soon Upon Us

Although there can be more than one meaning and fulfillment to scripture, my understanding of Hosea 6:1-3 is this: God set the Jewish people aside during the roughly 2000 year church age to provoke them to jealousy. The meaning of "two days" in Hosea 6:2 means one day is as a thousand years. (2 Peter 3:8.)

After the church age is completed and the fullness of the Gentiles has come in, (Rom 11:25) then Israel will go through the fire and then God will revive and save them on the third day. (Hos 6:2, Zech 13:8-9, Rom 11:26.)

God has torn Israel because they rejected their Messiah. But God will revive them and heal them on the third day, which I believe is soon upon us. In that day, the Jews will LITERALLY LOOK UPON and recognize the one whom they pierced, Jesus Christ, and morn bitterly. (Zech 12:10.)

Addendum: (I forgot this part prior to publishing.)

After that, Hosea 6:2 goes on to say "and we shall live in his sight." This is speaking of the millennial kingdom where Jesus will reign from Jerusalem. This will be where the heavenly and the earthly are brought together. We see a picture throughout the Old Testament where the scriptures speak of a Messianic king as a man reigning in the natural conditions of the earth. (Zech 13:9, Isa 2:2, 3, 4, Eze 36:28, 29, 30, 35, Eze 43:6, 7, Micah 4:2, 3, 4 etc.) We also read in the New Testament about a kingdom where the resurrected Saints are ruling and reigning with Christ in this kingdom, where heaven and earth will meet. (Daniel 7:18, 27, Luke 1:32, 33, Mat 25:31, 32, Rev 20:5, 6, Luke 19:17, 18, 19, Mat 19:28, Luke 22:29, 30 etc.)


Do Not be Ignorant of This Mystery

Paul says in Romans 11:28 that the Jews were made enemies of the Gospel for our (the Gentiles) sake. They were torn away from God because they rejected Jesus Christ. In Romans 9, Paul is in anguish for what was happening to his people.Clarke's commentary on Romans 9 describes it in a heart wrenching way:

"As the apostle Paul had still remaining a very awful part of his commission to execute, namely, to declare to the Jews not only that God had chosen the Gentiles, but had rejected them because they had rejected Christ and his Gospel, it was necessary that he should assure them that however he had been persecuted by them because he had embraced the Gospel, yet it was so far from being a gratification to him that they had now fallen under the displeasure of God, that it was a subject of continual distress to his mind, and that it produced in him great heaviness and continual sorrow."


Anti-semitism, Persecution and Lies

The vision the Lord gave me speaks of the torn condition of Israel and also of the great persecution that has gone on for centuries and is once again increasing. (Deuteronomy 31:16, 17)

Some of the persecution is coming from those who claim to be Christians. Some examples of the apostate beliefs in the church concerning Israel are, replacement theology and Christian Palestinianism. It does not help matters when people like Texe Marrs and those of his ilk who have a devilish hatred for the Jews, teach that the Jews in Israel are not the real Jews. That is ridiculous! Mr. Marrs and these pathetic apostates mis-handle the scriptures in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 where it says: "I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not,..."

In fact, the Holy Spirit gave me the proper interpretation of those scriptures.

Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.
Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

The corresponding scripture is: Rom 2:29 But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.

The reason Jesus said these "Jews were not Jews" is because they were not believers who have been circumcised in the heart. In addition, Jesus said they are "the synagogue of Satan" in the same way that we are the "temple of God." The hateful Jews who persecuted the early church were a temple (house) for Satan to operate through.

In Christ, Sarah Beveridge

School Massacres And Abortion Part 2

This is a promo film made by Blackstone Films for the March for Life walk in Washington DC on January 25, 2012.

It is brilliant that they used Obama's tear streaked speech about the massacre of the 20 children at Sandy Hook elementary school to make the point about the absolute hypocrisy of the culture of death in this nation. I hope Obama sees it and gets the point. Lets pray that he does!

Planned Parenthood performed 333,964 abortions in 2011. That is one abortion every 94 seconds. This does not even include all of the other clinics around the nation that perform abortions.

I do find hope in an article published by Time Magazine and written by Kate Pickert. She explains in this video why the Abortion rights movement is loosing steam.

Word For 2013 From Jonathan Cahn - Go to the Place of Power

Dear Saints,

This is a word from the Lord given to Jonathan Cahn for 2013. "Go to the place of power." We know that the place of power is at the throne of the Almighty! Amen!

Jonathan Cahn is a guest at the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast on January 21st. I heard him speak recently on a Christian TV show and he said that he had been contacted by a "famous" member of Congress (he would not say his name) who had read his book "The Harbinger." Mr. Cahn was invited to come to the capitol and pray with them. There is a group in Congress that prays, hallelujah there is a remnant there!  He also said the group went to ground zero and prayed there as well. "The Harbinger" remains on the New York Times best seller list now for over a year! Interestingly, there are three editions of  "Fifty Shades of Grey" pornography paperbacks on the same list.

As I mentioned in another post, the Lord revealed to me that the book The Harbinger was an answer to my (and others) intercessory prayers to get the word out to Americans, including the secular world, that judgment is falling on America.

Another evangelical Christian Pastor, Louis Giglio of Passion City Church in Atlanta was scheduled to pray at the Presidents inauguration. He has now withdrawn or was ousted (it's unclear which is the case) from the ceremony because of a sermon he preached in the 1990's that said homosexuality is a sin. Hello! Here we go again! The thing I find amazing about humans is that we seem to think that the truth is predicated on our belief or approval of a thing. The truth offends!

All I can say about all this, and all of the unparalleled evil we see manifesting, is that I am going to the place of power and keeping my eyes on Jesus Christ. Hold on Saints, we are in for a bumpy ride! DO NOT SHRINK BACK!!

In Christ, Sarah

What Are YOU Waiting For?

What are YOU Waiting For?

1 This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder,

2 that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.

3 Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts,  

4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.”

5 For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,

6 through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.

7 But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

8 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.

9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:1-8 (NASB)

What is the Commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by the Apostles?

As I have progressed on my Believers Journey, I have been corrected on many things by the Holy Spirit through diligent study of the word of God. Many views I once held have fallen away as I have gone into the meat of the word and allowed the Holy Spirit to illuminate my understanding of the big picture in scripture.

One of the things I have noticed in scripture is that Jesus and the Apostles taught that Christ would come back at any time. This is called the doctrine of imminence. It was a commandment of Jesus to watch and wait and expect Him at any time. And there is a very good reason for this, and I will get more into that later on in this post and in upcoming posts.

Honestly I have always had a hard time with this doctrine because there are so many that teach and preach against it that I figured they must be right. But are they right? Let God be true and every man a liar. (Rom 3:4)

Some of the words of Jesus instructing us to be ready and watching for His coming because He will come without warning, at any time:

Matthew 25:1-13....So keep on watching, because you don't know the day or the hour.

Matthew 24:37-51....keep on watching, because you don't know on what day your Lord is coming.

Luke 12:35-40....So be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at a time when you don't expect him.

Revelation 3:3 So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Therefore if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.

Revelation 3:11; 22:7, 12 "'I am coming quickly!'"

Revelation 22:17-20 "And the Spirit and the bride say, 'Come.' And let the one who hears say, 'Come.'"

"He who testifies to these things says, 'Yes, I am coming quickly.' Amen. Come, Lord Jesus."

Some of the words of the Apostles instructing the church to watch for the signs and to expect the appearance of Jesus at any time:

Philippians 3:20 "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;"

Philippians 4:5 "The Lord is near."

Titus 2:13 "looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus;"

Hebrews 9:28 "so Christ . . . shall appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him."

James 5:7-9 "Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. . . . for the coming of the Lord is at hand. . . . behold, the Judge is standing right at the door."

1 Peter 1:13 "fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ."

Jude 21 "waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life."

Jude 24 "Now to the one who is able to keep you from falling and to make you stand joyful and faultless in his glorious presence,..."

1 Thessalonians 4: 1-18

1 Thessalonians 5:1-28

Many Have Strayed From the Ancient Paths

Jeremiah 6:16 This is what the LORD says: "Stand beside the roads and watch. Ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is. Walk in it and find rest for yourselves. But they said, 'We won't walk in it!'

There is an ongoing and pervasive move away from the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles for the church to look for Christ’s appearing and to live accordingly.

It seems that many churches are not teaching about the doctrine of the translation (resurrection/rapture) of the church and /or the second coming of Christ. This "ancient path" paved by Jesus and the Apostles is now mocked at, scoffed at and out right rejected by many Christians. Even though the literal plain meaning of scripture supports these doctrines 100%!

Many Christians are following (in some cases unknowingly) the false teachings of Preterism, Dominionism and Replacement Theology. These doctrines of demons have made inroads in the church and I can tell you that these beliefs are robbing many of their rewards and crowns in heaven. (2 Tim 4:8) Because many Christians are too busy building their own little empires in this world and trying to create their own legacy and make some kind of a mark on this earth. Even though the word of God says NOT to do this and that we have a better home in heaven. (Mat 6:20, Heb 11:16, 2 Cor 5:8, Rev 3:12). A quote I read recently is playing out in the lives of many Christians; “Satan tries to settle us where God has made us strangers.”

I would venture to say that most Christians today are completely unaware that Jesus Christ is going to come as a thief and they will be caught utterly off guard and not ready to meet Him at His appearing where we will see Him face to face. (1 John 3:2-3)

My Personal Testimony and Conviction about the Imminent Appearing of Jesus

In 2008 when the Father so graciously revealed His Son to me and I was awakened and then born again by His Spirit; I received a very clear message from Jesus. He spoke to my spirit very clearly: “I am coming so much sooner than any can know.”

Then in 2011 I had asked the Lord if it was His will for me to have a godly relationship with a man for once in my life. And this is what He said to me very clearly, “Would you rather be involved with the things of this life or would you rather prepare for my coming?” My answer was of course that I would rather prepare. So that is what I am doing. (Note: I am not suggesting that every single person should remain single. This is what the Lords will is for me.)

The Lord has been giving me revelation about the Bride of Christ since 2011. Up until that time I had no idea about these things. I was shown in the word, and it was confirmed in a dream that there are THREE women in the church system.

1     1- The Bride, or wise virgins (Mat 25: 10) [In my dream she wore a white garment.]

        2- The true church, or foolish virgins (Mat 25: 7, 11, 13) [In my dream this woman was plain and wore a beige garment.]

3    3- The Harlot (Jezebel) (Rev 2:20) [In my dream this woman was represented by Madonna. Interestingly, I had this dream one week before she played the harlot in the Superbowl half time show.] 

(There are many more scriptures that pertain to this subject and you can read more about the Bride of Christ on my other blog- http://jesus-bride.blogspot.com/)

In Closing

My brother in Christ Randy posted something on his blog that I am reminded of as I write this:

"What you KNOW is what you UNDERSTAND and this is what you FOLLOW." You can read his post by clicking here.

Basically what this is saying is that we follow and we do what we know and understand. If we know and we understand in our spirit that Jesus taught us to watch and wait for His appearing at any time, then we will follow this belief and our actions will reflect this knowledge. We will live for Christ and watch for Him diligently!

Paul says in Philippians 3:14 "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." I believe those who do this are the Bride!

At one time I was not preparing to meet Jesus, but instead I was focused on judgment and preparing for tribulation. Brethren that is not biblical! No where in the New Testament instructions to the church are we told this. To the contrary, we are instructed by Jesus to pray that we would be accounted worthy to escape all these things, (Luke 21:36) and that we would be kept from the trails that were to test the whole world, (Rev 3:10) because we kept the command to persevere. (Refer back to Paul in Phil 3:14.)

My whole outlook has completely shifted away from the prophets of doom and their false message of hope in the arm of flesh and into looking for the glorious appearing of Jesus Christ! Did you know that we will receive a crown if we eagerly wait for His appearing?

2 Timothy 4:8 The victor's crown of righteousness is now waiting for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on the day that he comes, and not only to me but also to all who eagerly wait for his appearing.

I am also much more diligent about sharing the Gospel with others now because the message is not one of judgment and doom, but one of hope!

My heart cry is this; my utmost desire more than anything in this world is to go home and be with My Father in Heaven and my Lord Jesus Christ. My longing is sometimes so intense that I just cry and weep and painfully wait to be with my beloved Lord. I completely understand why Paul said we must endure until the end. If I can make it another day, another week, another month, it is by the Lords grace. Because I hate this world and everything about it and every evil thing in it that is destroying mankind and the planet and the animal kingdom. It is a cursed and wretched hell, and heaven is my real home. I have known that I did not belong on this earth since I was a child.

My prayer for the Bride and the church is to come up higher in your walk and to draw so close to Jesus Christ and that you would long for Him like you would for a spouse.

In Christ, Sarah Beveridge

Ps: Lord willing, soon I will be posting some dreams, visions and revelations that the Lord has given me.
