A Look Into the Future

What I am about to share with you scares me. I might not be 100% correct but there is nothing personal in what I am telling you that will profit me in any way. I do not look for credit, honor, or respect because of what I say. It comes out of obedience to the Father, and it is the Holy Spirit’s job to show you the truth in my words and what you should do. Please pray about this message and if the Holy Spirit convicts you of any truth in my words, then immediately do what God is asking of you…be faithful and passionate.

Almost seven years ago God spoke to me and said, “Eight years, no ten.” I was praying about what is to come and how much time we had to prepare before things got very bad. I wanted to know what to do and what to expect. This was the time before the election between Trump and Clinton. I tried to figure out what God meant by these words and exactly when all of this would take place.

It is a tricky business when God speaks to us about future events. I always wait and hope to hear from others in the Body of Christ. If God is speaking to me, He is usually speaking the same words to others. I like verification & agreement among the saints. I do not consider myself a prophet to any degree, but one does not need to be a prophet to hear from God and to be given words or visions. There is way too much ‘hype’ being given to so-called prophets and apostles in the Body of Christ. Ministers are trying to become ‘somebodies’ through their ministries instead of becoming more of a ‘nobody’. They are no good to the Body of Christ and should not be given much respect.

God has called us to humility and servanthood—this is the path to much faith—the path to fame is not the path God has called us to. Nevertheless, we need each other, and it is in the unity of the Spirit, not in giving each other honor or self-recognition that will make the Body of Christ strong. My calling in God is not for me but for others, and I cannot minister to others if I think I am greater or better than others. This is an anti-christ spirit and is what Satan would want us to do. What I am about to say needs others to judge and search the mind of God. Truth is found in unity, humility, and abiding in the leading of the Holy Spirit.

I believe this is what God was telling me.

1. America and maybe the whole world has ‘eight years’ before an economic depression (some sort of a recession) comes upon us all. This should happen and be completed within the next two-three years.

2. In ‘ten years’ comes a total collapse of our economies–at the end of the next 2 to 3 years. A depression like we have never experienced. What I believe causes this is not monetary or financial but natural disasters. These natural disasters will be ‘the straw that breaks the camel’s back’ and the negative forces already in our economy causing a recession to completely give way.

3. Therefore, we all need to get out of debt, become self-sufficient, and be able to grow some food and have good water to drink. Natural disasters will be life-threatening and many people will die.

4. California will be hardest hit, most of the state will become inhabitable and unable to sustain itself. This alone would break the US economy and force us into a depression.

5. Why does this happen? It is because of its sin. California not only has refused all the revivals God has given it over the past 100 years, but its sin has grown to such depths that it has promoted and glorified its sin throughout the whole world. Our problem is nothing more that our sin which we have not repented of no matter what God does to help us avoid His judgment.

6. It is God’s judgment upon our nation which will destroy what we now have. It is our sin that is the cause of all the trouble we will soon face within three years. (The details of what will happen to CA I will save for another time, but it will be great and frightening.)

7. As God judged Israel in 70 A.D. so God will be judging our nation shortly. Your only escape will be to escape into the arms of God. The Latter Rain/the Second Pentecost is your only hope. You need to prepare now! Not only will your life depend on it but the lives of your family as well.

So, you do not have much time and you will need to prepare. The antichrist (Satan, the beast) will appear after the whole world collapses—however much time it takes for all nations to give up and no one wants to be a leader of any country. Satan will now arise and do miracles to help people that are left but only if everyone receives the mark of the beast on their life. There are people that have the mark now, I have seen it often already, but the world has not completely collapsed. America’s fall will begin to come within 4-years. So, get in love with Jesus and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. (More about this later.)

A Personal Note

A personal note is needed before I give you a look into the future. God has been busy in my life during the past year. He has been pushing me ‘to see what He sees’ and believe in His truths with more passion and commitment on my part.

All of this can only take place with a spirit of brokenness, repentance, and humility on my part. It is never easy coming to grips with the truth; it requires taking an honest, detailed look at oneself—who we are and why we do things. The closer I come to God the more I dislike myself, but to be without His love is unimaginable to me. I will rather be in the presence of God than to be anywhere else.

God told me recently that, and I quote, “I am waiting for you.” God loves me so much He has patience for me and waiting for me to complete the tasks He has placed before me. I am frightened by what is coming. The Book of Revelation is not a fairytale book of stories but what we will be facing –the fulfillment of every verse of the Bible.

The Bible has ‘opened up’ to me with a freshness and insight into the Scriptures—wisdom I have never realized before. God is pushing me to pray more, to use faith more (my response to the will of God), and to ‘pick-up my cross each day’ no matter the cost to me personally. He reminds me that if I have pride in what I do, even if it is a good and honorable deed, there is no reward for me in heaven. God wants me to have zero pride and consider myself ‘an unworthy servant’ and do all things with humility never prideful.

This is where I am finding myself. When I follow His direction and purposes then spiritual things begin to happen in my life. I understand that all things have a spiritual component and a connection to God’s purposes and the working of the Holy Spirit. We indeed have only one problem—that is being spiritual as Jesus was always doing God’s will and never taking credit for the will of the Father.

So, what I am about to write to you in a couple of days comes from seeing Jesus hanging upon the cross, seeing Him absent in the tomb, and taking to Him while walking along the paths of life after His death and resurrection.

The Lamb of God is about to return to earth, and it is the wrath of the Lamb that the whole world will be rejoicing in or deathly afraid of. We have this choice—believe in Jesus or be judged by Jesus, this is our only choice.

Guest article by Rick Joyner, on having patience

Rick Joyner states, “Patience is crucial to inheriting the promises and being in God’s will. Consequently, I have tried to turn “waiting” into special opportunities to “enter His gates with thanksgiving” (see Psalm 100:4) and get closer to Him. We are told “in everything give thanks” (see I Thessalonians 5:18), so I have especially tried to use unexpected delays to thank Him for the delays, so I can learn more patience. It works!

Since thanksgiving is how we enter His gates and presence, and since we are told in Psalm 16:11, in Hispresence is fullness of joy, if we are thankful for the delays, this can lead to unfathomable joy in His presence. In this increasingly dark and fearful world, the joy of God’s people is a great and desperately needed light. In Isaiah 40:31 we are given another remarkable benefit for learning patience:

Those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.

This “new strength” we gain by learning to wait on the Lord is His strength that comes from abiding in Him. With His strength, we can run and not get tired, and walk and not get weary. We can even soar like eagles and see the world from a much higher place. In fact, we “can do all things through Christ who strengthens” us (see Philippians 4:13).

As we have discussed over the last two weeks, our impatience can cost us far more than we realize. However, patience can also profit us far more than we realize.

As a pilot and flight instructor, I was in the business of time. People fly planes because they want to get somewhere fast. Still, if they do not take the necessary time for preflight inspections and preparations, they may not arrive at all. As a professional pilot who taught other pilots for years, I saw pilots who would gradually become more careless (care-less) in their preflight inspections, and some paid the ultimate price. Sometimes saving a few minutes can cost us everything.

I am sure few have considered that obeying speed limits can add years to their lives, and not just by avoiding accidents. I wear a device that measures my vital statistics. So, I decided to monitor my stress levels by traveling ten miles over the speed limit, versus five miles over the speed limit, versus going the speed limit. I monitored these many times over many trips. To my amazement, my stress level traveling ten miles over the speed limit was between 30 and 50 percent higher than traveling the speed limit.

Having more stress is just one of those things that can shorten your life by weakening your heart and immune systems. Depending on how much we drive, this added stress can not only significantly shorten our lives but also cause us to be much more tired and less productive. To add this much stress to our lives to save a few minutes here and there can cost us more than we realize.

Living faster does not equate to living a better or more productive life and can have an enormous impact on our longevity. Likewise, as we have addressed in Hebrews 6:12, it takes faith and patience to inherit the promises. Our inheritance in Christ can be affected by this. This verse implies that if we have faith without patience, we could miss our inheritance. Patience is a profound demonstration of faith. True faith is not in an outcome but in God. How can we have true faith in Him but not trust in His timing?

Again, impatience is not a fruit of the Spirit, and if we let impatience lead us, we are not being led by the Spirit. Being misled in this way can cost us far more than any amount of hurrying has ever saved us. Realizing this, Carl Jung, one of the greatest minds in psychiatry and the greatest thinkers of his time, said, “Hurry is not of the devil; hurry is the devil.”

The devil is the biggest thief, and one of his successful tactics to steal from us is to feed our impatience. We are also told in Romans 16:20, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.” How can we abide in the God of peace and still be driven by impatience? Perhaps this is one of those “gates of hell” through which the devil has access to our lives. How much more fruitful and enjoyable could our lives be if we abide in the God of peace, demonstrated by our patience?” by Rick Joyner, Nov 8, 2022, Choices, Part 25.

Guest article by Phillip Lee, on relationships Phillip writes, "…although healing many people of their physical ailments, Jesus often indicated that the forgiveness of their sins was the true gift." Even those with limited knowledge of the Bible will remember that Jesus was scorned and ridiculed for spending time with what was considered the “worst” sinners and the most “unclean” people of His day. However, Jesus was always determined to focus on those who had the deepest need for Him. As He said, “He was sent not for the healthy, but for the sick,” (Matthew 9:12) and He had little tolerance for those who failed to see their own brokenness. Clearly, Jesus hung out with sinners. He dined with prostitutes and tax collectors. He interacted with adulterers and harlots. He touched those who were ravaged by socially unacceptable diseases. Simply loving them, He listened as much or more than He talked, and His compassion for them and His understanding of their hurt was clear. If we are to reach the individuals struggling with same-gender attraction or the gay community, we must do the same. A very simple scanning of the gospels offers a good picture of several attitudes and actions that characterize Jesus’ way of relating to those who did not know Him and who were lost in their sin. Jesus routinely broke religious and cultural boundaries. Jesus healed people on the Sabbath, He entered the homes of undesirable people, and He spoke publicly to people the religious leaders ignored. Clearly, Jesus sacrificed tradition and reputation for the sake of the lives He sought to impact. Boy, now there’s a lesson: being more attentive and mindful about our character rather than our reputation. Jesus began His interaction with sinners by loving them first. In other words, he had a genuine love for them and wanted to get to know them. Remember? If we are going to be effective in speaking into an individual’s life, we must first establish relationship. Jesus was all about building relationships with sinners. Certainly, Jesus, being Jesus, had quicker relational success than we might have, but His example in getting to know people and letting them see Him is vital for our evangelism efforts. Jesus physically touched people. In other words, He wasn’t afraid to get a bit dirty. He touched lepers, blind people, and prostitutes. Frankly, I believe physical touch was Jesus’ physical manifestation of His love for people. In His day, it was considered unclean to even be in proximity with such people. His own disciples often tried to keep “those people” away from Him. But Jesus not only didn’t avoid those people, He sought them out. And it was His touch that healed them both physically and spiritually. Jesus offered people something better than their sin. He pulled their attention away from their sin and enabled them to consider and focus on what He could give. He told the woman at the well that He had living water, and then He offers her Himself. After He saved the adulterous woman from being stoned, He offered her freedom from condemnation. After the harlot anointed His feet, He forgave her sin and saved her for eternity. Now, catch this. While Jesus healed many people of their physical ailments, He often indicated that the forgiveness of their sins was the true gift, even more so than the physical healing they so desired. If we are going to reach the homosexual community, we must offer them something better than their sin. Jesus’ own examples provide us with several practical tools for reaching our gay and lesbian friends, neighbors, etc. First, please take this to heart – you have permission to love your gay friends or family members. And, frankly, you have more than permission, you have a mandate from the Lord.” Pastor Phillip Lee Executive Director His Way Out Ministries WWJWMTD What would Jesus want me to do?

Guest article by Otis Davis, on having preparation

Otis writes, “Hundreds of former military munitions bunkers ready to be turned into homes, are now for sale; Prepper ready, isolated, fenced, and completely off-grid.

Spiritual prepping meaning getting ready, preparing for the opportunities and challenges ahead do I need it? Are you building on the sand of this world or on the Rock of Jesus? How are you preparing to endure? How resilient are you? Spiritually speaking who are you listening to, trusting to guide you and your family? And when you listen does it make you feel anxious, fearful, upset, or angry? Are you entangled with this world? We are in the world, but we are not of the world. Do events in your life determine your attitude, being blown with every change like the wind? Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Ephesians 4:14 niv. Are you thirsty and heavily ladened? Find the well that never runs dry with the water that quenches your thirst. Cast off your heavy burdens with the forgiveness offered thru the loving sacrifice of Jesus, the way, the truth, and the life.

Get on the eternal power grid that never loses power. Build on the solid rock of Jesus and you will stand against the storms of this world. Be careful, stay calm, don’t be afraid, and don’t lose hope, if you don’t stand on your faith in Jesus you won’t stand at all. Isaiah 7:4&9. Are you grateful and thankful for what you have or unhappy and sad because of what you don’t have? Did you miss having your piece of the pie? The pie is bigger than you think, opportunities abound there is no limit if you believe, every day there are new opportunities, you have not missed out, think, and believe bigger. There are unlimited possibilities galore, and many times they contain challenges that we can overcome with God’s direction and help.

Are you a victim or a victor? Who do you believe Satan’s lies or God’s truth? Endure and wait for the Lord’s answer to your prayers. This determines your perspective, then colors your decisions and relationships, which then determines what you do. Protect your heart for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23 See the bigger picture, connect the dots. God does. God can help you raise your perspective. But we want it now. We want it easy and quick. Satan uses that to convince and show us the easy and quick way, but many times it is a false mirage. It is trouble and it is not the best way. Maybe it turns out easy and quick then we think I got this, I don’t need God and his ways. We stumble over our pride and overconfidence.

You are unique. Pray and ask God what his unique plan is for you. He created you and designed you to live and do something in his unfolding plan. Read and listen to God’s truth: Prov 16:3 niv Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Prov 16:9 niv In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. Jer 29:11-12 niv For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Phil 2:13-14 niv For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Do everything without complaining or arguing. Rom 8:28 niv And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Prov 16:4 niv The Lord works out everything for his own ends — even the wicked for a day of disaster. Prov 19:21 niv Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. Prov 21:5 niv The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

Yes, we may need to do some physical prepping, but spiritual prepping is essential to build a house of faith, hope, and love; and it should be priority #1. Matthew 6:33 kjv But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. The books “Walking with God” and “Resilient” by John Eldredge would be a great resource along with his apps”.

The Stage Is Set

Our future is set; a series of Godly events are at hand. There is no escape and only one hope. Be warned! It is upon us, and Jesus is the author; He holds all of us in ‘the balance’.

I will be giving you three articles written by guest authors next week—articles that have been sent to me. I believe these articles are prophetic and timely and a preface to what I will be saying in an article on the last day of this month, November 30th.

If you are going to make it in these last days, you will need these qualities in your life: preparation, patience, and relationships based on love and forgiveness.

I would encourage you to read these articles carefully, pray about what the authors are assaying, and begin to mend your lifestyle and purpose for living.

None of us will be able to escape what God has planned for planet earth—your salvation depends on what you believe, what you do, and what you must become.

Promises Fulfilled—an abundance of hope

Far too often we live our life without hope or at least with very little hope. This is no longer the case if you will reach out and ask God to prove Himself by granting you ‘hope that will not make you ashamed’. You will no longer be ashamed to be a Christian or a person who has so little hope in this world. You will no longer be discouraged, depressed, and without a healthy self-esteem. God spoke to me this morning to write this!

He said to me, “Those days are passed; you will experience hope through times of joy, answered prayers, sincere and healthy relationships, and most of all have purpose that finally gives you fulfillment.”

I challenge you to try again—to pray prayers you have not prayed for years. You wanted God to answer what was on your heart. This is the time; this is your moment! Make this thanksgiving, a time of new beginnings by praying those prayers again and allowing God to answer them. Pray without reservations but with feelings and passion. Allow God to surprise you and allow your soul to rejoice in God for keeping His promise and commitment to you. Yes, pray those unanswered prayers of the past and watch God’s promise begin to be given to you in the present. It is Jesus who will be once again your friend, Savior, peace, and your answer for His glory alone.

A friend of mine, called me this morning and spoke this Scripture to me after I wrote this article/word of the Lord: Ezekiel 12: 23-28 which says: “…but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.For I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God. Again, the word of the Lord came to me, saying. Thus, saith the Lord God; There shall none of my words be prolonged anymore, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord God.”

Simple Truth #5 plus 1

You will not get a free pass during the rapture. Just like other examples in the Bible, people who were raptured had this testimony, “That they pleased God.” Too often we think that if we did good works or just because we are Christians or even if ‘you think that if you believed in Christ’ that when God’s rapture comes we will be translated. You better think again! We must please God, and it is God who gives us this testimony “That we please God” it is not something we can give ourselves.

So better get prepared, do righteous works as stated in the Book of Revelation, and forget about pleasing others or ourselves. Everything is about God, and it is only Jesus who can give us this testimony “That we please God.”

Plus 1, this is a reminder that you have only 2 years left. Remember when I wrote an article about God telling me, “You have eight, no ten years.” I am not sure what that all means but my spiritual insight tells me that we have 10 years of preparation before things get very bad. So, get out of debt, whatever you have make sure it will last for 10 plus years without wearing out, get self-sufficient, and hopefully, you have the means to grow some food and have a food supply if you cannot purchase food for a few months or years. You have 2 years left so get going.

Simple Truth #4 Try hating sin!

Sin is complicated and set everything in motion that is bad and wrong in this world. Adam blew it! He had everything perfect and a great relationship with God, but he was willing to accept his wife’s decision and thought ‘Maybe God is not telling me everything I could really have in this world. Maybe Satan is right.’ Oh, how wrong he was, and I am sure he regretted his decision up until his death.

You cannot beat sin. You are not stronger than your sin. Your sin is much too powerful than anything you can do or not do to erase sins’ effects in your life. Sin has spiritual components so powerful that it takes spiritual warfare to eliminate its effects within one’s life.

Sin is so powerful and complicated that it is man’s #1 enemy. It is sin that is destroying our way of life, all that America originally stood for, and every good relationship—turning even the best relationships sour.

God gave all that was dear to Him in order to help, allow, and strengthen man to overcome its hold on our lives. Sin creates lifestyles that are deadly; sin kills what is good and healthy; sin hides in so many ways so you will not reject its hold on your life. The Bible helps identify what sin is and how it controls your life.

You need to hate all that is sin, just as God hates sin. Romans 1:18-32 (KJV) has the best descriptions of sin. Read it, listen to it being read, memorize it, and begin to hate sin.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Let’s begin to hate sin and replace it with loving God. We do not hate the sinner but do all we can to help those who do not know the truth of God to see the error of their ways.

Simple Truth #3 There is a spiritual component in everything

Good or bad, there is a spiritual component in everything. What we do, what we say, what we think, what we write, what we decide, what we try to do, and what we fail to do. All of creation has a spiritual component that can guide us in what we make, our attitudes, every motive, our plans, and how we accomplish them. God has made everything to respond either favorably or rejecting Him through the spiritual aspects of what, how, when, and why we do what we do.

Furthermore, and without debate, we are made for relationships and that has a spiritual component as well, either for good or for bad. You and I cannot avoid this truth. There is nothing in all that is that does not include a choice and therefore a spiritual aspect. Spiritual components are like a two-edged sword. No matter how you swing it, it cuts and produces results.

There are choices (decisions) before us all the time. You have a choice and Satan cannot stand in your way of making that choice—you must exercise your choice in everything you do. Satan wanted Christ to choose him when He was tempted in the wilderness during His 40 days of fasting. No matter who you are or what you are doing there is always ‘a choice’ before you. How you handle your spiritual component/your spiritual dilemma/your choice never goes away. You are always destined to choose, and that choice reflects on your spiritual condition. It is important to “choose wisely”, we hear this time and time again, and it is even more critical in these last days.

As the Bible states, “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision” Joel 3:14.

There are consequences for all our decisions and choices and your choice always has a spiritual component that supports your outcome for either good or evil. This is why, God gave us Jesus so we could have positive results to what we decide and good can be on our side. Do not forget the man who came to Jesus having 2000 demons. People tried to restrain him, Satan was always tempting him, yet he chose to approach Jesus. He had a choice no matter what, and Satan along with the people could not restrain him. This is a story worth reading—a good choice with positive outcomes; it is always ‘good overcoming evil’ whenever you read the Bible. Mark 5:1-20
