Rest in The LORD! – June Sheltrown Reinke, 12/29/19

Posted: December 29, 2019 in JESUS is your LIFEBOAT! Run to Him for safety!

“Rest in Me,” says The LORD.

“You have labored and fought battles and are weary and battle fatigued from all the things you have fought for. Now I want you to lean on Me. Entrust your care to Me.

“Focus on Me and turn away from the endless questions and concerns that only confuse you, burden you, distract you and disable you.

“I will give you rest as you shift all your burdens and concerns and cares over into Me and allow me to be your all in all.

“I will take care of you and all your concerns. I have you. Do not let the daily concerns of life wear you down or keep you frustrated and fearful.

“Look at all I have done for you and all that I have brought you through. I will not ever forsake you but AM your shelter in the time of storm.

“I AM your place of safety. I AM your comforter. I AM your provider, your protector and you are My child,” says The LORD.

“Let your mind be at rest. Left your heart be untroubled. I have been with you. I AM with you and will always be faithfully by your side to help you and hold you up and keep you from falling.

“Be of good cheer, for you are safe in My arms and secure. I will give you rest if you will enter into it and let Me take care of all the big and small things.

“For as I numbered the hairs on your head and watch over you night and day, surely I will take care of the most insignificant details and give you everything you need as you entrust yourself and life totally to me, who is always faithful and true,” says The LORD.

(Don’t we all need to be reminded of this promise as we begin a new decade?) Read: “You are resilient and stronger than you know!” – Angie Stolba, 12/29/19

Posted: December 29, 2019 in Choosing righteousness over worldliness is a CHOICE!, Prophetic 2020

The Lord is saying today, “You are resilient and stronger than you know! Yes, the trials are intense right now as you pass through the narrow way, but know that you are coming through to the other side. You will exit this tight space and find that you’ve emerged into a completely new place: a broad, beautiful, spacious place! Truly, everywhere your foot treads, I am giving you the land (Joshua 1:3).

34CACEC5-78DD-4E52-95B6-2741AEC1905F

“The enemy has relentlessly placed pressure and opposition on both your promise and present circumstances as you’ve quickly approached the new year. Yet I say, ‘Who can stop the Lord Almighty?’ Nothing and no one can stop the tidal wave of my blessing and favor that is about ready to be lavished upon you.”

I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name (Revelation 3:8).

“Keep moving forward, My Beloved; you’ve come too far to quit now. I know that you feel weary and have little strength, but truly your reward is upon you. I am promoting you in this very hour! You will go into the new year celebrating, dancing, and declaring My praise as you tell of the wonders I’ve done. I am good and I am faithful, and I will not fail you,” says the Lord of Hosts!

On the glorious splendor of Your majesty
And on Your wonderful works, I will meditate.
Men shall speak of the power of Your awesome acts,
And I will tell of Your greatness.
They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness
And will shout joyfully of Your righteousness (Psalm 145:5-7).

“My Kingdom Is Not Of This World.” – Cryptic1, 12/26/19

Posted: December 27, 2019 in Behavior that shows holiness and consecration to Jesus, Hell and Heaven are both real places. Your earthly choices determine your eternal destination!, JESUS is your LIFEBOAT! Run to Him for safety!

It is Christmas morning. I’m sitting in my car reading and having a cup of coffee, relishing the blessings we still have remaining. In my spirit I hear ‘There are two Kingdoms’ then ‘My Kingdom is not of this world.’

The message begins.

My daughter the hour is here. The signs in the heavens and the earth are converging to reveal what time it is. Many are not prepared, even my own. I call to My children to rise up and to turn from sin and the flesh, meaning the natural. There are two Kingdoms – My Father’s and the world’s, which belongs to the evil one satan and his cohorts. They roam the earth looking to enter into the abode of those whose hearts are NOT turned towards Me. You must stay in the Kingdom that is OF ME and if you fall away you must return quickly. It is here that I offer you protection in My heavenly abode and it is here that you will find safety in My loving arms. No harm shall come to those who know Me and keep My commandments. My Word must remain in their hearts to be of any effect.

Many of My own do not realize they walk between two Kingdoms – the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of man. Satan has managed to infiltrate your lives and all that you hold dear – your government, your schools, your financial institutions, yes even my beloved Church. Rise up oh Saints of God! Now is the time, now is the hour to choose which Kingdom you shall inherit – My Father’s Kingdom which offers life eternal everlasting or the fallen one’s kingdom of darkness and everlasting torment.

The way seems clear but the flesh is weak and needs to be fortified, strengthened in Me. I am your rock, I am your fortress! I am the only Way through which all must pass in order to enter My Father’s Kingdom. The battle is spiritual children, and must be fought using My Word to advance, My armor to defend and the strength to persevere which comes from Me alone. I am the vine, you are the branches. You must abide in Me in order to hear My voice and My commands. For I command you to go forth and reach out to the lost and forsaken and bring them into My Father’s Kingdom!

The time is near when all hell will break loose. The signs I have given in the heavens are increasing and are there for you to see. Seek Me in My Word. Pray for those who do not know Me and are on their way to the fires of Gehenna. Prepare yourselves as a living sacrifice that I may use you during these last days. I call out to My sheep to rise up for your redemption draws nigh!

See Me in the clouds of glory upon My white horse of victory! For I have overcome the world and all that is in it!

The message ended but shortly after I heard in my spirit ‘My Kingdom is not of this world. READ IT.’ I believe the Lord really wants us to receive this message of the two opposing Kingdoms into our hearts.

Scripture Reference:

John 18:36-37. 36 Jesus answered, ‘My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now My kingdom is not from here.” 37 Pilate therefore said to Him, ‘Are you a king then?’ Jesus answered, ‘You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.”

Walking in Newness of Life! ~ by Deborah Waldron Fry, 12/26/19

Posted: December 26, 2019 in Prophetic 2020, Wonder & Awe at "Suddenlies"/Transformations to Glory

I awoke in the middle of the night with a gift bow literally IN my right hand.

Yes, I had been wrapping presents earlier in the day on the bed, but I am sure everything had been put away and there was no bow there when we went to bed.

I knew Father God had a message for us.

It was dark so I set it on the table, anxious to see the color of it in the morning light. The bow was just a small simple one, green in color, the color of new beginnings.

“Beloved. I have a gift for you, My Bride. To you is given the Gift of the Son. To you I give the Perfect Gift of New Beginnings.

You are a new creation, WALKING in the newness of LIFE. Death cannot reign in you. Yesterdays and the old man cannot determine your tomorrow.

Remember not the former things which hurt your heart, nor dwell upon them, My Child. Behold, I AM doing a new thing, even now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it?

You shall know by the Spirit. My compassions fail not, they are new every morning. Every day is a new day, Dear One.

A new day where suddenly, your God will move! Yes, My Child! Great is My faithfulness! Believe in the New Beginning that is yours through the Son.

Watch for this New Beginning! Be expectant! Suddenly, marvelously, I shall come! For your sake, I will not keep silent, I will not remain quiet until your Vindications shines out like the Dawn; your Salvation like a blazing torch!

The nations shall see your vindication and all the kings your Glory; and you shall be called by a NEW name that the mouth of Yahweh shall bestow upon you.

Be excited, My Bride! You are a WALKING with NEW SHOES into a NEW DAY with NEW VISION, for the darkness has passed and the True Light is shining.

For who has despised the day of small beginnings? For I tell you, Beloved, that My Work is finished.

The Eyes of The LORD, the Seven Spirits of God are rejoicing to SEE this NEW DAY. And I AM working in you, both to will and to do My GOOD Pleasure.

It is the Day of MY NEW BEGINNING for you!”

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!” 2 Corinthians 5:17.

“We therefore were buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may WALK in NEWNESS of life,” Romans 6:4.

“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a NEW thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert,” Isaiah 43:18-19.

“Light is sweet; how pleasant to see a NEW DAY dawning,” Ecclesiastes 11:7.

“For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure,” Philippians 2:13.

“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the Day Star arise in your hearts,” 2 Peter 1:19.

“For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.
The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will name.
You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of The LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God,” Isaiah 62:1-3.

“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not,” Lamentations 3:22.

“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.” (The seven lamps, the Seven Spirits of God, the eyes of the LORD that search all throughout the earth.) Zechariah 4:10.

Shine Bright for ME! ~ by Pastor Debra Lowe, 12/24/19

Posted: December 25, 2019 in Fire-Torch Humans being prepared/refined by God!, Precious jewels serving HIS MAJESTY... GOD

The LORD says, “I AM constantly speaking, but of all the words that I speak to you daily, you hear 3%.

It is moments like this where you ascend, and keep climbing the holy hill to come closer, where you can hear Me in a whisper.

You no longer have to strain to hear My Voice over the shouts of the world or the shouts of your own heart, over the shouts of troubles and trials, you can hear Me.

This is why I said, ‘Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together,’ because there is so much more power when you ascend together to bring you to that secret place to the holy hill where you hear My Voice clearer.

So I desire for you to take this example and live it daily in your day life. Every day living like this, ascending to the high place, because then you can hear more clearly what I AM saying to you.

I AM trying to get you to know where we are in the moments of history so that you will not miss out on what I have planned for My very own.

This is the season where My Children will begin to truly shine, those who have not had their lights put out by the pressures, those who have not allowed the salt to become worthless.

For all who have come to the place that no matter what they have seen or gone through, that they are consistently walking with Me.

They will hear Me, and they will begin to shine bright. Their brightness will bring some of the others that have lost their luster and their shine to come back, for they will recognize the beacon and hear Me calling them back to Me again,” says The LORD.

“There will be some in the deep recesses of hell, yes, even on this earth that the enemy has desired to kill, and I will be calling them back by the very light that shines from you.

So I say to you My Children, it is time to arise and shine. Arise and shine and let My Glory begin to pour out and emanate from you so that many may fall under the power, the presence and the glory of your God that will begin to exude from you, because you will be the lighthouse in this world of darkness.

This is the season that we are in, so I AM polishing and shining up My diamonds and My gold, so that they will sparkle in these last days that men will come to see the glory, the shine, and wonder that is going on in you. They will begin to understand that there is a God and I AM He and they will look for Me and I will be found of them.

This is our season, this is your season, so I say shine bright My holy diamonds. Shine bright My precious gold. Shine bright for Me,” says The LORD.

This is our season!

“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste (purpose), how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people [when the walkways are wet and slippery],” Matthew 5:13.

“You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven,” Matthew 5:14-16.

“And let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds, not forsaking our meeting together [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching,” Hebrews 10:24-25.

“Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the Lord]; for your light has come, and the glory and brilliance of The LORD has risen upon you,” Isaiah 60:1.

Vision 200 – A Strong Warning To Japan, Sharlene @ Thepropheticbride..wordpress.com, 12/22/19

I went to pray in the Throne Room which began as always with praise and worship. My spirit travel was a bit different as when I came to proclaim Psalm 91, I had an urgency to go to Japan. I told the eagle to go there. Usually I just end up wherever the Spirit leads. I found myself in a factory of some kind. There were people on either side of a type of conveyor belt with product that they were working with their hands. I couldn’t tell what the product was. Most likely it was food as the employees were covered in white protection; masks, head, body and gloves for their hands. I spoke to them from my heart of Jesus and gave them the reason for my hope and theirs. The conveyor belt stopped. I sang to them. They stood silent. They must have heard me. One woman was silently crying. I prayed a blessing over them and left.

I went to the white bench area to talk to Jesus. My heart was heavy with a spiritual burden for the Japanese people. I asked if there was something for me to see. I looked from there and saw the destruction that was coming to Japan. I saw people hiding under tables to protect themselves from falling debris. I heard screams and chaos. The lights went out. Then my perspective changed as I was outside street level and I saw a tall narrow building swaying hard and then lean to my right and crash into the building next to it. There was debris falling everywhere. I asked Jesus to confirm what I already thought- is this Tokyo? And He replied: “Yes.” Just to confirm- an earthquake will hit the area? Jesus said: “Yes.” I commented that it would have to be a very strong earthquake in order for a skyscraper to crash into another skyscraper as those buildings are designed to withstand fairly powerful earthquakes. Will the earthquake be greater than a 9? Jesus replied: “Yes.” Oh my. Why such a destructive earthquake? It is a judgment or a warning? Jesus said: “A warning, daughter.”

“They have become arrogant and rely on their own wisdom and power. They are steeped in idolatry which enables them to believe lies from the evil one. Honor means too much to them. I Am the only One that can free them of their bondage. The difficulty to come will bring them to their knees and they will call on the name of the Lord!” I asked Jesus if the people repented, would You relent from the destructive earthquake? Jesus replied: “Yes, daughter, I would.”

I understood that we are to pray! Believers, pray that every Japanese person living there will have a personal encounter with Lord Jesus and repent! For God doesn’t want any to perish but come to repentance! Prayer changes outcomes!

They have gone through much already with the tsunami that hit the northern coast of Japan over 8 years ago. (March 2011) I discovered that over 22 000 people died from that tsunami with many still missing. And just for your info, Tokyo is in the southern part of Japan. I have had a previous vision regarding a weather-related calamity coming to them.#115

I AM YOUR ONLY OPTION – MsSophie, 12/21/19

Posted: December 24, 2019 in Be humble! Repent & change your stubborn unrepentant hardened heart. Pure in heart will see God!, Hell and Heaven are both real places. Your earthly choices determine your eternal destination!, Prophetic 2020

(I was asking the Holy Spirit to confirm that it was Him directing me to post those few posts on the blog I did for Him and He said Yes child, now write these words down for Me so here is what He has to say):

My children, there are many abrupt changes that are coming in 2020. It will confound many but it will also open the eyes and ears of many. It is time to come out of this complacent attitude and realize the days you live in—even in the midst of drastic unwelcome change good can come from it. It is during these times of unwelcome changes that hearts awaken to the harsh reality of the age you all live in. It is also when people start to pray again; prayers avail much if the heart motivation is right.

It is time to let go of all selfish desires and to think of your fellowman. It is time to earnestly pray for your lost ones. I must draw hearts to Me and I will listen to your prayers for others.

I, Yahushua, left My heavenly home to come, demonstrate, live, die and rose again for the salvation of souls. My greatest desire is that one is saved. Heaven rejoices over each one that repents and returns. All of heaven sings over these. I would do it all over again even to save just one soul. This is how much it means to Me. I AM pure agape love and yes, this love runs that deep.

Mankind has lost its way and been led astray. In order that you may know the Father and I correction must occur. This correction is for your good so that you may be saved but it will be fraught with much hardship. What does it take to wake up a slumbering nation? It takes a Mighty Move of God and yes, it will shake you to the core!
