Cast Off Works Of Darkness; Put On The Armor Of Light


This is a historic time of opportunity to celebrate America’s 250th Birthday as we reach out with the Love and Gospel of Jesus Christ and win souls for God’s Kingdom...

"... for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the Armor of Light (Romans 13:11-12).”
We would like to begin with thankfullness for Jesus Christ teaching His disciples in God’s written Word, "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven (Matthew 5:14-16)."
How thankful we are for such incredible works and answered prayers we have witnessed of God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit in our lives, both here in America and in the world! Especially considering everything the Three-in-One Holy Trinity has done through President Trump over this first 18 months as our Commander-in-Chief, we are counting our blessings. What a privilege we have gotten to work together, with Them, to fulfill God's passion in the Earth. We cannot thank our Father enough for giving us Donald J. Trump, his wife and family, and each of his talented cabinet and team members.
In just the first year-and-a-half of Mr. Trump serving his second non-consecutive term, being our 47th President since January 20th, 2025, God has begun miraculously restoring U.S. Constitutional order and the rule of law in America unlike any other time in our nation’s 250-year history. We thank and praise God for providing His divine wisdom, guidance, knowledge, direction, and protection on President Trump and his team. We eagerly anticipate all of what He has in store for the rest of this 250-year Birthday Celebration year of 2026 and beyond, in Christ Jesus our Lord!
Americans must have God and His written and spoken Word in order to be healed, redeemed, and made whole. This is especially true given the assaults of the anti-America, anti-Christ, anti-Constitutional presidencies of 2008, 2012, and 2020. As a ministry team and family our priority is to boldly reach out to people whose hearts and lives have been broken, many who have suffered much, even losing their loved ones, during the last administration's lawless objective to maim and destroy America. We have got to bind together, united, and pray for President Trump and his team in Washington. We pray that God will continue to anoint them with the ability to restore what so many of our American brothers and sisters have tragically sacrificed as a result of greed in the wicked hearts of federal and state politicians in government leadership.
During this time of restoration, we, the people, will remain steadfast as Christians in a Christian nation that began in 1776, 250 years ago this July 2026. We have pledged, and we pledge afresh, and will continue to pledge our allegiance to Jesus Christ and "to the Republic (for which our American flag stands), one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for ALL"... by shining The Light of God's Love to all who we come in contact with!
As unruly as things may appear to be, stemming from the lawless chaos of the former administration especially, we must keep our focus on getting wisdom, truth, and understanding from God and His Word, and allow The Holy Spirit to cleanse and heal us of the heart-break, fatigue, and harmful effects of countless offenses and intentional damages inflicted on our citizens of America. This is a historic time! We must sieze upon the opportunities we have right now for reaching others with the Love and Gospel of Jesus Christ.
"And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the Armor of Light (Romans 13:11-12)."
LET THE MIRACULOUS TESTIMONIES OF GOD'S GREATNESS BE IN OUR LIVES AND ON OUR LIPS! No matter what our adversary brings on us along the way, we will rejoice and be glad because we have "put on" Jesus Christ, Who IS the "Armor of Light".
Our wonder-full Toward The Mark family is passionate to fulfill the part God has for us to fulfill in these last days before Christ Jesus returns. Only by the Love of God in us are we able to win the hearts of those swept away in the tide of God-less-ness, even choosing to live opposite to God’s Word, Will, and Ways. Let's make it our collective goal for the coming months to reach out to and befriend as many people as possible, especially those outside of our social circles.
Let's share with other people, everywhere, our testimonies of faith in Jesus Christ as The Holy Spirit brings them to light in us. Tell them about each time when God answered our prayers, always walking and talking with us, and working things out in mysterious ways as only He does in our life. The results to come will bless both us and them, as our hearts become filled with gratitude, compelling us to offer up thanksgiving to The LORD for His very presence, for His being, and for every thing that He IS and does. ”
Let’s Celebrate our 250-Year Birthday of America shining The Light of The LORD Jesus Christ...
"For God, Who commanded The Light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give The Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6)."

Remember also, "we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the Excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us (2 Corinthians 4:7)."

Thank you for hearing our hearts and our hearts’ passion for God, His written and spoken Word, and His People. We pray that this message fanned the flame in your heart to "reach for God" in greater ways than ever before.
"The LORD gave the word: great was the company of those that published it." ~Psalm 68:11
Your friends in this final hours' harvest of souls, with eternal gratitude to our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ,

Crashing Satan's Party Night With The Gospel Of Jesus Christ

          God gives us everything for knowing and exposing what the enemy doesn't want us to know.

The overwhelming truth of the matter of what's known by most as "Halloween" is its foundation which is based on demons and darkness of Hell. This fact is not only set to begin on the Earth in the hearts of those who choose to accept it as "innocent fun" but is also to keep us participating in what actually goes against anything of our Father and Creator God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and our Comforter and Counselor Holy Spirit. Those who choose the dark, unclean spirits of this world are in danger of all-out death and destruction. As for us Shealys, we won't stand silently by while we see folks who are, knowingly or not, offering themselves to the spirits that come to advance Satan's vindictive agenda. Instead of allowing him to hide in the shadows or masks of darkness, we are, and will continue to be, standing and speaking up to shine Christ's Light and Life of salvation to all who we know and meet. The joy and privilege we have is to use our physical being and talents to the glory and Gospel of Christ Jesus, which is utterly... priceless.

        So, talking about the message we are here to share, is it correct to say we look forward to having fun on the events of October 31st? Yes! And, even more than the fun we get to have, we love sharing The Light of God in Christ Jesus, along with everything He brings in His wake, in every day and part of our lives! On events like Oct. 31st evenings, we choose to counter the darkness, specifically we are "unmasking Halloween", by offering The Gospel of Jesus Christ, endearingly naming this occasion "Jesus Christ is The Light" night at the Shealys.


          Having the opportunity to see and get to know hundreds of kids and parents who have come to count on us to be here sharing printed and spoken portions of The Living Word of The Living God, we are personally grateful. We always ask The Lord God to bless each life that we are able to touch, counting on His blessing to go to each individual who receives a pocket-sized Bible or Scripture-based book we have been able to provide, prayed over from our hands and hearts to theirs. That's hundreds of lives He is able to touch, change, and, prayerfully, save in the Truth of The Gospel of Jesus Christ! Then, in the interactions we so enjoy, and rejoice in having, we really never know when we have also delivered a revelation or prophetic word The Holy Spirit laid out just for the ones we have spoken to. We will only know, truly, when we get to stand before Christ Jesus one day... what a day, glorious day, that will be!

          As we pray, praise The Lord, and offer The Gospel of God's Love in Christ Jesus, these are some essential Truths Father God wants us to make sure our kids know:

1. God always wants you to be close to Him.
2. There’s nothing to fear in opening your heart to Him.
3. You are individually, uniquely hand-made by God.
4. He will always be there to hear you and help you.
5. His love for you is eternal and completely yours.
6. God’s Love is an unconditional gift from Him to you.
7. He loves you as-is, perfectly designed for His plan in Creation.
8. His strength active IN you enables you to do greater things.
9. His Voice guides you step-by-step to find real Life.
10. He wants to do in you what is priceless in this Life.
11. God is our Father bringing new Life through life’s trials.


          Jesus Christ IS The Light. And the world's darkness can't touch what He shines INto and through. In Him is Life where no devil or darkness can prevail! Being His kids is an eternal gift we are here to proclaim by sharing, reflecting, and presenting our personal testimonies of His presence and work in every day of our lives. Knowing the love, fulfillment, joy, and countless more qualities we get to gain in this Life with Father God, through our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus, we want to lead everyone we can to Him, sharing His enormous blessings and inheritance He offers to us all, everywhere, to the ends of the earth. If we all can be loved in His Family, filled full with His joy, and more, what a celebration to be jointly made free from whatever darkness once had us bound! We, the entire team of Toward The Mark INC, can speak to the worldly bondages because we're no different from any other person being born into our human nature in sin, far outside of our Loving Savior, searching for freedom, wholeness, and spiritual Life. As we have said time and time again, and will say countless times more, "All you really need to do is tell what Christ Jesus has done for you."

          The Lord's Will is for all of us, each one, to desire a life lived with Him, not to compromise where we fall into the trap of being bound by this world of darkness or death. We continue to press "Toward The Mark" for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:13-14)! Our gratitude is endless as He continues to answer our prayers, pouring Himself in so He comes pouring out from us, again and again. Thank you for coming by to fill your heart, mind, will, and emotions with the everlasting Love of God in Christ Jesus, because He loves you and so do we.

          Satan and his minions are frauds. Although Satan presents himself as having some great and powerful offerings, he can do nothing beyond what his Creator God allows him to do. This also applies to all of the fallen angelic host. They will eventually be imprisoned in Hell, along with those who have rejected Absolute Truth - The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ - to instead follow the ways of death, being yielded to the sin that stole from them the years for which God had so many wonder-full things planned. Such people will experience complete separation, eternally, from God in Christ Jesus. Despite the misconception that the multitudes will stick together until death and beyond in "partying in the things of sin and Satan on this earth", the hereafter for them will be NO party.

 “But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with The Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”  (2 Peter 3:7-9)

          Every single cell of our being can become consumed with the reality that God is so close to us here on earth - He is "at hand", literally a reach away. While we have a pulse, we have a will and the privilege to choose to accept God and reject Satan and all he has to offer to his agents - loss, torment, ultimate destruction, and death. In our experience Satan goes to devious extremes to blind us from that fact.

          Until our heart stops beating, we have a choice to make and a will to choose. God has gifted us with the privilege to accept the great sacrifice that His Son Jesus Christ paid, so we could have eternity to spend with our loving, joyful, peace-filled Father in Heaven. Only when we have glimpsed into Hell, or have had the unfathomable honor of standing in the Divine Presence of Almighty God, can we even begin to perceive the infinite enormity of what Jesus Christ has freely given of Himself, for each of us!

God has no desire that people should go to the eternal place of torment, but that every one of us be saved. So, He has provided The Way of escape, His Name is Jesus Christ..

“Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die....”  (Ezekiel 33:11a)

          So, how does one escape an eternity from that most terrifying of all places? You must receive the Gift of Faith to believe the Truth of the Gospel. You must repent by turning away from your sins, and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and to be your Lord and Savior.

          You might ask, How do I do that? It is simple to begin your salvation journey starting with this prayer from your heart:  "Father God, in the precious Name of Jesus Christ, The King of all kings and The Lord of all lords, I lay my life at Your feet.  I come before You confessing that I am a sinner, and I am asking You to please forgive me of all my sins -- those that I know I have committed as well as those that I am not even aware of.  I ask that You come into my heart and be my Lord and my Savior.  I lay my life and everything in it at Your feet, and ask that You please take me now to begin the process of changing me into Your likeness.  I ask that You redeem the time that has past and allow me the opportunity to become exactly what You have predestined me to be from the foundation of the earth.  I commit my life to You now, and thank You for receiving me as Your own.  In the wonderful Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of The Living God, Amen."

So that you have a better understanding of why it is necessary for you to pray that prayer of commitment to God from your heart, I would like to bring to your attention this story found in the book of John.

"There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  Nicodemus said unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit . Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.  The wind blows where it listeth, and thou hear the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?  Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and know not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.  If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?  And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.  And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:  That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."  (John 3:1-16)

          As you can see, only God can offer us eternal life, peace, and joy! All who end up like Satan will experience death and eternal suffering. So, the next time you hear someone say that Hell is going to be a party, like "Hallow's Eve" or Halloween, let them know that they have been given the wrong address. Then tell them that the  only eternal CELEBRATION will be held in God's house and that He is personally inviting them to prepare to come.

 

          We are grateful for the wonderfully fruitful opportunities The Person of The Holy Spirit is blessing us with, to glorify the Great Name of our Father and Lord Jesus Christ, opportunities we simply could not take advantage of if not for the passion and support of our TTM partners to magnify Jesus Christ by sending us into this final hour's harvest! On behalf of the two of us, and those we are reaching, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking part in our work, friendship, and all our family of faith has been doing to encourage and reach this end time's generation with The Gospel of Jesus Christ... and with The Gospel Jesus Christ preached! Your friends and servants in Christ Jesus,

What Moves God's Mighty Wave of Truth ... Moving Over America

The Vision Keith Received from The Holy Spirit (8-15-2020)

"For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops (Luke 12:2-3)."


On August fifteenth we had positioned ourselves in prayer to hear The Holy Spirit's wonder-full voice. After a short time, we asked Him, "Precious Holy Spirit, would you please ask our King, Jesus The Christ, if He would share something with us that will fill our Father's children's hearts with hope, a message of comfort and encouragement that will result in their singing His praises upon hearing it? Precious Spirit would you ask our King, Jesus Christ, if He would entrust to us a glimpse into what 'The Three of You' are doing for our Lord and King's people here in the earth during all that is happening around us now?" As we relaxed and waited, our spirit's ear's listening intently, I (Keith) suddenly found myself, in a vision, submerged about twenty feet under the surface of the great ocean that is the spirit realm over the United States. I then saw, directly in front of us, and about fifty feet away, what appeared to be water beginning to swirl around and around in a circle toward the right. It looked to measure about twenty feet in diameter. As I watched the circle of water start and begin spinning faster and faster, it was then that The Holy Spirit informed me that what I was being shown was the forming of a wave, that at this point, was not yet visible on the surface of what I knew, without asking, was the great ocean of the spirit realm that is over our Father's America.
Suddenly, I was prompted by The Holy Spirit to look upward. As I did, I saw countless brightly glowing small meteor-like objects each about the diameter of a softball in the front with a meteor-like tail streaming behind each of them. As I watched, the meteor-like objects rapidly began descending toward the newly forming wave. They were all descending from what appeared to be about the height of the ozone layer above the United States. As we watched, increasing numbers of the beautiful and brightly glowing meteor-like objects all began heading straight toward the fledgling wave that we had been watching form under the surface of the great ocean of the spirit realm that is over The USA.
Suddenly, without slowing down, the bright meteor-like objects began diving into the forming wave that had been increasing in speed all along. As the meteor-like objects, one after another after another, dove into the spinning sphere it began growing in direct proportion to the number of meteor-like objects that had entered into it. As I was being totally taken in by all that was taking happening, without warning, the great spinning sphere exploded in all directions. If I had to give an example of what it looked like, I would say that it looked "kind-of like" seeing a massive atomic bomb being detonated under the surface of the ocean. It was at that moment that I was immediately infused with the knowledge that we had been just off of the Atlantic Coast of The United States, in the spirit, about twenty miles from the North Carolina shoreline.
Note: I was not affected in any way by the explosion. Neither did I feel wet, blinded, or deafened by the conditions of my surroundings. I was extremely comfortable and at peace the entire time.
Just as the massive explosion occurred, The Holy Spirit, took me up and over The United States high enough that we could look down and see the entire country. As soon as we arrived there, I was prompted by The Holy Spirit to focus on the continually growing and mighty wave that had just exploded up and out from the great spirit ocean that is over America. As I watched on, the wave became visible on the surface. While I was watching the great wave forming, thousands upon thousands of the meteor-like objects were steadily rushing down from the sky and entering into the increasing wave. As I watched all of it unfolding, I looked to my right and down over the entire Nation where I could see ever-increasing numbers of the individual meteor-like objects coming up from every state, and were all heading east toward the ever growing wave. As each of them reached the wave, they dove straight into it. The more meteor-like objects that dove into the already increasing wave, the larger the wave grew.
As we watched the great wave continually growing, suddenly, the wave began reconfiguring itself and started lining up along the east coast of the United States, in the spirit. By now, the great wave, end to end, had spread in length all the way from America's furthest point north along the coast, all the way down to its furthest point to the south.
As The Holy Spirit and I watched on the great wave slowly begin moving westward on to the shore where it then began to rise upward in height, about one hundred and fifty feet to my best estimation. As the growing wave continued moving westward, it became perfectly formed, slow-moving and methodical. It actually reminded me of a long line of revolutionary war era soldiers who had been ordered by their commander to line up, shoulder to shoulder, along the entire length of the eastern shoreline of the United States. Once each of the soldiers were in position, all of them facing the eastern shoreline of America, the commander gave the order to begin marching in lock step westward to conduct a perfect sweep of The United States.
As we watched, the great wave began moving over the country, from east to west, The Holy Spirit very gently yet suddenly infused my spirit with what He had been privileging me to watch unfold. He then revealed to my spirit that the great and power-full wave that we had been watching form, grow and begin to move across The United States is "God's Mighty Wave of Truth." Having spent my entire life around tidal waters, I suddenly began thinking to myself, a wave needs massive amounts of water to form and to power itself along, what could it be "in the spirit" that had been building and increasing the size of and empowering this massive wave of God's Truth? Of course, knowing my every thought even before I thought them, The Holy Spirit relayed to me from Jesus Christ something that then overflowed my entire being with His own indescribable Joy, His Peace, and His Hope for His Bride in The USA.
Then Holy Spirit uploaded this to my spirit, "What has formed and is increasingly strengthening your Father's Mighty Wave Of Truth is and has been the rapidly-increasing numbers of those who, due to the oppression and torments of being uncertain about their futures and their feeling hopelessness as they watched satan's accomplices attempting to steal what is not theirs to touch, are repenting of everything that has been separating them from Him." He then, knowing that I had been wondering what the meteor-like objects are, infused my spirit with the information, "The meteor-like objects are the individual hearts of those who are repenting before and calling on Jesus Christ for His forgiveness of their sins, for His salvation and for His Justice, Protection and strength to fall over their lives, as well as over President Donald Trump, his family, and over the lives of all who are fighting to defeat the increasing numbers of tyrannical devils in America. As someone repents, coming to Jesus Christ for the first time or coming back to Jesus Christ after back-sliding away from Jesus Christ in their lives, then the sweet fruit of their repentance rises up before God and is directed into His Mighty Wave of Truth, each repentant heart increasing both the great wave's size and power. As your Father's Truth moves over America, He will illuminate the wicked content of the hearts of those who have committed, promoted, and in any way supported treason against those who love Me and who call on my Name."
It was then that I saw in the spirit this terrible warning to anyone who would harm God's children in Luke 17:1-2, "Then said He (Jesus Christ) unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offenses will come: but woe [unto him], through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones (Luke 17:1-2)."
The Holy Spirit then uploaded this to my spirit, "Jesus Christ has heard the cries of each member of His 'suffering' bride and is continually petitioning your Father for His Grace, His protection, and His provision on their behalf... each and every single member of His beloved Body. It has been and now is the bond of love between God's children, Himself and Jesus Christ that has prospered and held The United States of America together. Just as God had heard the cries of His people who were suffering under bondage to the wicked slave driver's of Egypt, our merciful Lord and Father has heard every cry of those who are struggling in any way at the hand of their demonically controlled lawless oppressors, both those who are within The United States and those who have made it their wicked mission to destroy God's people from without."
It was at this point that something immediately caused me to begin trembling. As I had been listing to The Holy Spirit, suddenly, God's anger filled my being as He then began relaying to my spirit something I had not experienced in all of my years of pursuing oneness In Jesus Christ. I heard God's own anger with all that He, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit have been seeing taking place, in His America, right now.
As best I could, this is what I was able to record. Voicing His anger, like a terrible storm, toward those who have lied, cheater, stolen, killed, or harmed in any way those He loves and those who love Him, this is what I heard. "What you call 'America' is the place I have set apart and provided for My beloved, the place that has afforded my beloved the freedom to sing My praise, to glorify My Name and to preach My love for them to all parts of the earth. But now, the perverse, greedy, and pride-full have crossed the line. They have harmed what is Mine, and in doing so, they have called many curses down onto their heads. They have used their wicked schemes to take the things that I have intended for My people, those who love Me. They have, without conscience, placed their sin-soiled hands on My anointed servants and, by doing so, they have insulted Me! They have oppressed My children, My family, and, because they have done it, they will soon learn that those people to whom they have killed, stolen from, and destroyed in their quests to pack their own bellies are My people, My children, Royalty--the children of The Most High God, the children of The King that stands far above every king that ever was and ever will be! Because you have snatched from the hands of My children what I have provided for them, I will soon unleash the full power of My judgments upon you. The spoils of your ill-gotten gains will soon be pulled from your wicked hands. For every heart you have inflicted with grief, for every cent you have stolen that had been marked by My Son's blood, for each of My people you murdered both within the wombs and without, now has stained you for My judgment. Because you have not repented, because you have scoffed at all that is Mine, because you have not given your life to Me in full, and because you have not repaid those to whom you have offended nor asked forgiveness of those whom you have slain with your tongue or deeds, by the same measure that you have committed evil against those I love you will your reward be measured and returned back to you. You will reap of the poisonous crop that you have sown. And the devils in hell will curse your names, time and time and time again, for the times that you have mocked Me and withheld those good things that were in your power to pass forward to others. Just like the serpent tempted Eve in My perfect garden, when the devils of greed came to offer their promises of power and riches, you listened to their lies and took to yourselves those things that I had marked for My sons, My daughters, My faithful. For this I am angry with you! But even in My anger I will extend to you this opportunity, the only path of escape for you. Repent now before My Son's Throne, Call on His Name, ask for His mercies, ask His forgiveness of your every wicked deeds, and commit to Him that you will seek Him and My Holy Spirit continually, and learn My ways and walk in them from this time forward. Then, you MUST go to those that you have smote with your words, and to those that you have stolen from, and return to them all that you have taken. My Son, Jesus The Christ, is the only Way that leads to Me, the only Way/Door that can make you free from the bonds of your wickedness. Repent now and call on My Son, your Savior!"
After I had heard that, there came a pause. I waited, then The Holy Spirit uploaded to my spirit, "Now, encourage My people! Tell those who love Me that their redemption grows nearer with each passing day. Remind them to rest In Me as I am working on their behalves. As the wicked, in their fleshy lust, make themselves drunk on the things I have meant for My children, tell My children to be strong, and do not faint! For those who will call on Me, who will search Me out, who will listen to My Spirit and will follow the orders that I give to Him to give to them, I will pour out on them ten-fold, twenty-fold, thirty-fold all that My enemies and their enemies have stolen from them. Tell My beloved to encourage, encourage, and then encourage again My beloved. Warn all: the door of opportunity for repentance is closing!"
It was then that I saw the words from Jesus Christ illuminated in my spirit, "Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops (Luke 12:1-3)." And Jesus Christ warns, "And whoso shall receive one such little child in My Name receives Me. But whosoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. WOE unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offenses come; but WOE to that man by whom the offense come (Matthew 18:5-7)!"
It is for the freeing of His beloved bride, and for the judgment of those who have offended and oppressed Her, each and every-one... that God's Mighty Wave of Truth, His Holy Spirit, is providing this - His door of repentance and salvation for all who will come. Paul The Apostle teaches us, "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on Jesus Christ will not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. For whosoever shall call upon the Name of The Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:9-13)."
Pray this prayer with us, RELAX, and watch what God will do: "Father God, in the precious Name of Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord over all lords, I give my entire life over to You. I confess to You that I am a sinner, and I ask that You forgive me of all my sins, those I know that I have committed as well as those that I am not aware of. I ask that You come into my heart and be my Lord. I lay my life and everything in it at Your Feet and I ask that you would take me, right now, and begin the process of changing me into Your likeness. I ask that You redeem the time that I have wasted and allow me the opportunity to become exactly what You had predestined me to be from the foundation of the earth. I commit my life and everything I have to You and thank You for receiving me as Your own. In the wonderful Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, Amen."
