Christ walked every step of the way with us and carried us on those days when we could not take another step. His goodness, grace and mercy abounds. I miss her terribly, but I know where she is and I know I will be joining her one day soon. I chose not to question God‘s reasoning or timing for this and know that someday it will be made clear to me…BUT for God, I would never be able to endure this emotional pain. Come quickly Lord Jesus.

And they all know it and the elites who lives in darkness can escape. Jesus Christ the Hope of the World, the Prince of Peace. I have called upon His power many times and witnesses His miracles, all because I had the audacity to Believe like a child would. I have seen too much in my life to change. I watch the Lord literally being my dying wife back to life and started crying and begging and I will never forget, it sounded like a living father or unimaginable power beyond comprehension entered the room that night . I have never felt a presence with such peace and absolute power. I called on Jesus Himself, and he was there in 1 seconds behind me. "Joeseph, my son, call her name. Call Veronica and I shall allow her to hear your voice. Then it abruptly paused for a second and said "Don't be afraid. Stick two of your fingers in her mouth and tell her to bite down as hard as she can." I acted without hesitation, no debate, no discussion. When she came back, drenched in sweat and completely nauseated and with zero memory of what just happened, the hospital found out what happened. She has a geans maul seizure in her sleep. This is incredibly rare, is typically, And as saw both sides of her tongue bleeding. We later learned whatever was in her (this was spiritual warfare, completely) attempted to bite her tongue in half, so zhe would bleed to death. I will never forget the moment I heard the voices of Jesus say "All authority and power is mine, my son. Your faith didn't allow the Enemy to claim her. It is finished. Hear me, I come quickly. Remember this moment and tell my people I am coming." This was 2 years ago. It is a true testimony, it is freed to be shared. It happened. Jesus is real, the Enemy came to claim her soul for dabbling in the occult in her younger life. Jesus CANCELLED it by HIS BLOOD, and a desperate mind who has the child like faith to call out to the Lord, as I held her head and watched her contort, eyes rolled back solid white, and the muscles making inhuman smiling faces while doing this to her, all completely impossible, yat happened. He told me to tell you all "I AM coming."

Based on the unprecedented convergence of biblical prophetic signs, it is MUCH more likely for the harpazo to take place 10 days from now than "10 years". With the prophetic stage setting that is taking place all around us in this unprecedented convergence, it is extremely difficult to come up with a scenario that would extend the calendar 10 years before the church is caught up. Maranatha!!!

[@heavychevy4616]

[@ShaneZettelmier]

I never understood why so many Christians were so against this. I get that some people get over excited about it and they make movies and get it wrong, but it’s very common among a lot of organized church groups in the world to just tell people not to study this stuff or not to concentrate on it, why do we have so many profits, talking about it an entire book of revelation and John writing this, it’s all in our Bible so why are so many churches against people learning about it? It makes no sense to me. They like to call it eschatology and pretend like it something bad it’s just another part of the Bible and it’s the part that talks about what is to come. It’s in there for a reason Jesus sat at the amount of olives And told us all this stuff. Why so many churches think we should just ignore it? It’s weird to me. This is a big part of the Bible and like the rest of the Bible we should learn it. It just seems like common sense to me but many church organizations resisted for whatever reason.

My preacher neighbor said he could explain it away! I never asked him how that would work but we never talked about God’s Word ever again. I just didn’t want the pollution in my life.

In 1976, when I was 13 years old, I had a wide awake, real, in full color VISION of the Lord's Return... We lived out in the country in the middle of dusty plowed fields, dirt roads and woods in south Georgia. Everything looked kind of brown and crispy, like it needed rain bad. The corn field across the road in front of the house was starting to turn brown and die. I went to my bedroom, which faced out the front side of the house and looked out onto our front yard, which had a semi-circular dirt driveway and beside the left entrance was an old dogwood tree which had to be at least a hundred years old. Highway 341 ran from east to west in front of our house, which faced north, and the cornfield I spoke of earlier was on the other side of the highway. There was a slight rise in the middle of this field and you could not see the trees on the other side, so it looked like an ocean of corn that went off into the horizon. As I lay across my bed looking out the window, contemplating what I saw before me, I began to hear music in the distance. I specifically heard it in my right ear and the direction from which it came made me think of the high school band which practiced several miles southeast from where I lived. When conditions were right we could hear the band playing, but usually only heard the faint beat of drums. This sounded like trumpets and as I was thinking this to myself, I began to notice the music getting louder and louder, coming closer and closer, very quickly. Within a few seconds the sound wasn't just something that was exterior, but it was inside my head as well, reverberating throughout my entire body. It was so loud and it sounded like lightning crashed directly over my head and, in that split second, the trumpet sound thundered throughout my body and throughout the entire world...everything went dark and my bed and the earth shook violently. In a flash, I was no longer lying on my bed, but I was standing outside my bedroom window in the front yard and I beheld the scene in front of me with tremendous awe. It was still my front yard, only now everything was different. It seemed as if my entire range of vision was a huge 3D movie screen and I was in the middle of it. The trumpets continued to sound and I saw that the blue, sunny sky had turned black and the clouds churned and the wind blew with a violence that I had never experienced. The corn field was now a sea of wheat that was golden brown and ripe for harvest and I could see every stalk of wheat individually, billions of them. And I watched as the wind thrashed the wheat until it was beaten down by the storm. I now know that the Bible speaks several times about, in the end time, when the wheat is ripe for harvest, how the wheat will be separated from the tares. The tares are gathered and bundled together for burning and the wheat is gathered into the barn. Then I noticed the dogwood tree. It was mid-July, so of course I know there should not have been any blossoms on it, they usually bloom around Easter...but the tree was in full bloom. I had never seen anything like this. You couldn't see any leaves on the tree because of the millions of dogwood blossoms. It looked as if it were lit from within, by a glowing whitest of white, neon light and it glowed gloriously against the darkened sky. Now, I know the Bible says no man knows the day nor hour that Jesus will return, but if we watch for the signs, we can know the season. I have always felt that He might come back in the spring when the dogwood tree is in bloom. Of all the things that could have been highlighted in a vision; why the dogwood tree? I believe there is a specific message here. (Update: recently, I prayed about this and I feel the Lord placed into my spirit that this represents the fullness of the gentiles coming in). Just as I was taking all of this in, lightning filled the sky and the trumpets thundered over head again and in an instant there appeared two angels. They were dressed in white robes, facing each other up in the air and blowing golden trumpets. They were huge and filled the sky in front of me and I knew that the entire world must be seeing this as well. When I say huge, I mean like the size of the highest mountains, literally. I didn't think the trumpets could get any louder, but they grew louder still, building to a great crescendo and I heard a great shout that was louder than anything that you could imagine. And with that shout, it's as if the earth fell silent, the black, violent clouds began to roll back onto themselves from the center of the northeastern sky and I saw light in the distance. It was more a combination of light and clearing of the clouds in the distance that got my attention. As I looked up at this shaft of light and clearing sky, I saw what seemed to be fluttering and movement in the distance. As it came into view, I saw Jesus on a white horse and behind him were millions of angels and saints on white horses. It was at this moment, when I realized what I was seeing, that it disappeared and I was back in my room lying on my bed. Everything was back to normal and I was again looking out at a bright, sunny day.

Films are a good way to reach the people.. it is through films / TV that the woke agenda is being spread. So, why not fight fire with fire and spread the good news with the media. Amen.

Anytime it can happen ? This will put people in relaxation. Please watch CJ Lovik and see what Jesus said about when you will know your redemption is nigh.

Stating, “I pray”, and then no actively praying, is not praying

@ kathrynbraun2073 That is true!

In truth life is difficult and putting all my hope in the rapture is a no no as i have to deal with today and my walk with a God who seems to be deaf at times,we have date after date and all pass so on i go trying to walk closer to God and trying not to fall short but those who focus on getting out of here are going to get a wee bit disappointed and frustrated with God and his timing as it could be tomorrow or it could be 100years from now

As a preacher you need to make people looking forward to the rapture with eager expectation
