MANY OF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR MY RETURN

7/15/2021
BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen. Rev. 1:7

Are you ready for my return when I come? For when I come you will see Me in the clouds, but there is still much that you must go through. There are still many things coming to prepare you for that day. Oh but say, ' I am ready now.' But I tell you that many of you are not ready now. For where there is bickering and back-biting, you are still mere children.

Oh but you say, 'I have grown in my understanding! I am mature in my walk with you.' You are as mere little children. You are not ready to drink the cup with Me. You wrangle about this issue or that one. You are as little children in a playpen.

But I can help you prepare for that day. I can bring circumstances into your lives, and they will make you stronger. But you must not try and side-step them. If you are to be ready for my return then you must allow Me to work through those trials and circumstances that I bring into your lives.

It is time to grow up my children."

BEHOLD, A DIFFERENT MELODY IS COMING TO THE PEOPLE OF YOUR LAND

7/19/2021
(At the inception of this word, I saw various scenes of men playing on a guitar or lute, with their heads bowed down in despair. There was a great sadness seen in their faces, as they began to play a mournful melody.)

6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. Rev. 6

"Behold, a different melody is coming to the people of your land. For there will be mourning, and there will be sadness, for the current epidemic that has been around now for over a year, will give rise to other manifestations.

You see, the horses of the Apocalypse have been released, and soon the next horse of war, will come upon the world's stage. Truly, man has always been plagued by wars, but now because of the great plagues that have been manifested, there will be shortages to help those in need. Men will bargain for their souls and money will be given to the highest bidder.

At a later point in time, diseases and various afflictions will be manifested throughout the world. Men and women will cry out because of their sorrow and great affliction; and yet I will be here as the great healer. Truly, I can heal all of your diseases, but many have decided to go against my will. I have said that these things would come in the last days.

Truly, you are walking in the very last of days."

BE WARY MY PEOPLE, FOR THE STAGE WILL BE SET AT ITS RIGHTFUL TIME

7/31/21
While I was contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth uttering great boasts. Daniel 7:8
"You are reaching a juncture, says the Lord. You have come to a time when the great division will spread to young and old. For now the tentacles of that division will have spread to every corner of society. For all of this is marching towards that day when the one doomed for perdition will take his throne on the world's stage.

Many of my own who once knew the truth will be blinded by this man. For he may clothe himself in the garb of Christianity but he uses it to deceive many. For does satan not come as an angel of light? Be wary, my people, for the stage will be set at its rightful time. "

WHAT IS COMING

8/12/21
There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven. Luke 21:11
The Holy Spirit has told me now more than once:

"Things are going to be getting much worse. For there will be more and more different kinds of diseases. There will be the spread of diseases and afflictions that will affect many across the globe. For this is a sign that you are moving into a new and different period of time. You have entered into many of those things that are mentioned in my word concerning the last of days.

Yes, I have said in my word that I AM the great healer, but because of the rise of sin and the disobedience of my word, my judgment is falling on mankind. There is so much confusion and chaos among you. For many have brought about a platform of disinformation that marks the recent development of this vaccine as the 'mark of the beast,' which it is not. In time that mark will come, but this in no way is associated with it.

You are a people that grab at this tidbit of information or that one, from your favorite video teachers. I have said so many times that you are a divided nation, and now it is so plainly seen. You now must take heed for the precautions for your own. For now many of your own children will become afflicted with this disease.

I will be with you unto the end, says the Lord."

Stephen Hanson

WOULD YOU WANT ME TO COME WITH A WHIP OR A GENTLE REMINDER?

8/22/21
20 For the kingdom of God is not in words, but in power. 21 What do you desire? That I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentleness? 1 Cor. 4

"Would you want me to come with a whip or a gentle reminder? When I come back to this earth I will not be coming back as the gentle shepherd. For I will come back as a rod of iron. For the world has gone astray. Many who once followed Me, now have followed their own agendas. Your allegiances are now to political systems and these have divided you right down the middle.

You shout and scream out your viewpoints, and yet you don't even know what mine are. My kingdom is not of this world. The Jewish people tried to make Me their king but they had their own ideas.

Many of you know not what is coming. For everything will be turned upside down. Your nation will be ravaged by outside forces. And then the one doomed for perdition will be set in his place."

Stephen Hanson

THE ROAD AHEAD WILL BECOME MORE NARROW

9/1/21
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matt. 7

"Where will you find yourself in the next few years? Where will you be when this world is turned upside down? What will your allegiance be given to? What will you do when you are asked to leave your home and property? Will you run to the hills or band together? Will you believe then that you are living in the last days?

What if your family and all your loved ones leave you behind? I tell you that a line is drawn in the sand, for this line will separate more and more, those who follow after Me, from those who follow the world's standards.

Those who choose to follow after Me will see that the road will get narrower and narrower. For it will lead you down difficult paths and roads, but I will be there beside you every step of the way.

War will come to your shores on that day, and the land will be changed forever. But a standard will be lifted up unto the people, and the fervor of my Holy Spirit will be poured out upon some. Those will be dark and difficult days, but I will sustain you even as I did for those of old."

Stephen Hanson

The Wind Blows

9/17/21
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 3:8

8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Rev. 6:8

"The wind blows across this land. The wind comes and brings with it many things. You shall see great torrents of the wind coming, and you shall see widespread differences in weather patterns. For in these last days you will see great eruptions in the weather. There will be extremes like never before. For a great wind will come at a certain time and it will destroy the crops of many of the farmers. You will experience famine and loss. For the horse of famine will come.

For the markets will rise and fall. The land will see much famine and loss. Gone will be the storehouse of plenty. Woe to those who put their trust in riches. Woe to those who look to the almighty dollar. No more shall there be a surplus. For you look to the things of this world instead of to Me. "

Stephen Hanson

YOU HAVE BEEN STRUCK DOWN, AND YET YOU ARE STILL STANDING

9/27/21
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 2 Cor. 4

"You my people, have been struck down, and yet you are still standing. You must not be in despair for I AM with you unto the end. Truly, there is trouble on every side and yet, I have given you power to overcome every trouble. For these troubles that you are now facing will in no way compare to the immeasurable promises that I have given to you.

Not every trouble or every care, comes from the enemy. There are things that come to you that are meant to prepare you for the great storms that are coming. Truly, if you weather the storms that you are now facing, then you will gain a strength that will see you through unto the end.

There are many around you that are facing the same struggles. There are many that have born my suffering within their frame. For thus it is necessary in order to be conformed into my image. No one enjoys the great ordeals or the suffering that comes, for at the time it is overwhelming and beyond what you may think that you can endure. But just as iron is forged in a furnace so you are being heated at extreme temperatures in my spiritual furnace.

Remember that there are many vessels that I have shaped and refined. All are of my making. Some are for noble and others for ignoble uses. There is a final completion that needs to be done. "

Stephen Hanson

WATCHMAN, FIND THE TIME TO REST

9/30/21
One keeps calling to me from Seir, “Watchman, how far gone is the night?
Watchman, how far gone is the night?” 12 The watchman says, “Morning comes but also night. If you would inquire, inquire; Come back again.” Isaiah 21

"You who have stood upon the walls---do you know that you are my much needed watchman? You have stood there throughout the days and nights. You have stood amidst suffering and pain, and you have stood there during the rain and the sunshine. But there are times when you need to rest. There are times when you need to go back to the cave. There are times when you need to rest. For even though the storm is approaching, you will still need to find time to rest.

For even though the ocean waves ebb and flow, so you also need to learn that practice. For how would someone who is constantly on guard and being watchful, be able to find the time to rest? Rest is necessary for everything in this world. For even nature knows of this importance. Life itself has a cycle; it has an ebb and flow.

Then you will be able to return back to your post. Then you will be able to stand as a sentinel. "

Stephen Hanson

LOOK TO YOUR ROOTS FOR STRENGTH

10/4/21
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Jeremiah 17:8

"This is a season of waiting. This is a season of digging down into the earth below. For when one finds their roots then they gain strength for the journey ahead. Consider how an old oak tree gathers sustenance throughout its long winters. It gathers strength from its root system to replenish its bark and limbs. So you too must deep into your reserves. For then you will find the strength and resolve to carry on.

And yet what is to be found within your roots, says the Lord? What have you gathered throughout the year? Have you carried grievances with you? Have you carried hurts and unforgiveness?

These things will only breed bitterness within the body. Shake off the old and renew yourself through my Spirit and word.

Then you will weather the winter storms and months. Then your frame will be able to stand when the great winds blow. "

Stephen Hanson

SHUT YOURSELVES UP IN YOUR ROOMS

10/13/2021
Come, my people, enter into your rooms And close your doors behind you; Hide for a little while Until indignation runs its course. Isaiah 26

8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. Daniel 7

"Shut yourselves up in your rooms. For the time will come when you will need to be alone from everyone else. For the terror will come. Darkness is spreading its heavy cloak across the nation. The darkness will invade the land and it will spread its tentacles from the east and unto the west. But you will be kept safe if you are under my wings.

For the judgment is falling upon a land that has left Me. For you have lifted up the rich instead of the poor. Your halls of justice are overloaded as the ideals of some are pushed away into the dust.

What will you do when your land is invaded? Where will you run to and where will you flee? But you say that we are safe. But I tell you that you have fallen oh land. Many look to you and have thought that you would return to your former glory, but they are wrong, says the Lord.

When the cold winds blow and the financial markets are falling, then many of the destitute will die. What will happen when the almighty dollar has fallen? And yet the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. How can I get your attention?

The one doomed for perdition is soon to come. Many have already been deceived by his words. Who is he that boasted for many things? Who is he that has deceived many of the elect? Do you think that he will bring peace to the land? He will promise many things, but evil and corruption is all that is in his heart.

How could you be deceived by him, my people? How could he have flattered you? What was it that he has promised you? I say, don't eat of his morsels, nor partake of his delicacies. "

Stephen Hanson

I AM WITH YOU UNTO THE END

10 20/21
...and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matt. 28:20
I AM with you unto the end, says the Lord. I AM with you through all of the dangers ahead. I AM with you in your happiness and I AM with you in your sorrow. Through all and in everything that happens in your life, I will be with you. When the darkness falls and the world is falling apart, then I will be your guiding light.

For when the wind blows and the world around you is in turmoil, I will be your steady hand. The powers that be will be at the mercy at the man doomed for perdition on that day. But those who trust in Me will be kept safely under my wings.

The almighty dollar will fail and men and women will be begging for bread, but even as the prophet caused the grain to multiply so will I cause you to be overflowing. Your storehouse will not run empty. These are the days that have been prophesied; these are the days that have been spoken about.

For the wind blows and the dust settles, but then you will see my hand reaching out towards the poor and under-privileged. "

Stephen Hanson

YOU ARE DIVIDED RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE

10/25/21
“And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:” Matt 12:25

"You are divided right down the middle. You are divided from rich and poor--you are divided from black and white. You are divided from Republican and Democrat. You are divided from this and you are divided from that. And yet you wonder why you are such a divided nation. It's because you put your emphasis upon earthly things.

You dress yourselves up in the finest of clothes. You go to the most prestigious schools. You have the best of things; and you scowl at those who have little. You pretend to believe in Me but your words are bathed are pretension. But I say to you because you are rich, that you are poor and ragged. For beauty is not to be found in apparel or the finest things in this life; but rather it is to be found in those things that are everlasting.

To become a nation that is united can only be found in those things that you share in common. And to find what those things are requires you to look for those things that are good in each other. What are those things that you share in common? Are they in hating and throwing insults at each other? Are they in proclaiming that one group is better than another?

You see, you will remain divided. The cure is not found within the medicine that you take. The cure can only be found in looking for the good in each other. "

Stephen Hanson

"I WILL COME AT THE APPOINTED TIME"

11/1/21
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Rev. 1:7

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 2 Thess. 2

"I will come at the appointed time, my people. Don't try to figure out all of the details. There are a series of events that need to take place first. The man doomed for perdition is soon to take his stage. Then there will be widespread suppression and many of your freedoms will be gone. The economy will topple and then he will take over the helm. Woe to those who have followed after this man. Woe to those who have been deceived into thinking that he was a godly man. For you will see control over every aspect of your lives. For the earth will be rampaged and the coffers will be depleted from the national treasury.

But to those who trust and put their faith in Me, I will give the power to overcome all of the dangers that you will face in that day. There will be widespread dissension and the earth's appearance will have changed. The Great Lakes will have spilled over into the great river, and because of the rocks and the earth below, a great separation will occur.

Then you will be separated into two continents. For the old land mass will have changed. There will be a governance over each part. Those who know Me will have been hidden in those days. They will find shelter in the dry places of the desert. But many will be deceived thinking that the man of perdition will save and protect them. "

Stephen Hanson

HIS PEACE

11/13/21
The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4

I AM here as the Savior of this world, and yet many don't look to Me as the One that would save them. Many have looked elsewhere for truth. For the god of this world has blinded their eyes to what is truth. Even those who once knew the truth have now had their minds darkened. For the cares of this world have now occupied their minds instead.

For my peace can encompass the entire sphere of your lives. Worry can be all pervasive. Worry is like a cancer; it can spread to all areas. And because of this, then it clouds your vision and darkens your field of perception. I have told you that I would be your peace. I have told you that you would be like a tree planted by the river. Your roots would go down into the soil and your leaves would flourish. And yet many have not found this peace in their lives. They are consumed by this things or that one. Troubles come to all men; all share in these things. The only way to find this peace is to relinquish all these things to Me."

Stephen Hanson

YOU HAVE ENTERED INTO A TIME PERIOD OF SHADOWS AND UNCERTAINTY

11/17/21
6 Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.7 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55

"Seek Me while I may be found. Come to Me while I may be near. The world marches into war, and the people watch as the darkness falls around them. For you have entered into a new time period. You have come into a time of shadows and uncertainty. For as the division grows deeper, the world watches as a nation that was once held in honor, now has grasped the straws of chaos.

But I AM with those who diligently seek Me. I AM near to the one with a humble and contrite heart. I give food to those who are in need. I reward the righteous man for his labors. But darkness is falling, and as you enter into this new season, keep watch over your soul.

For your financial market will crumble. People will not be able to afford the basic of things. The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. Don't listen to those who would try to distract you, for many would try to deceive you.

Learn to be steady in your walk with Me. The race is not to the swift, nor to the strong, but I AM a rewarder to those who diligently seek Me."

Stephen Hanson

YOU ARE HEADED FOR A SHOWDOWN

11/27/21
36 “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done. 37 He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. 38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. 39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain. Daniel 11

"You are headed for a showdown, says the Lord. You are headed for a change in the system. For the present administration will change at that time. And then the reign of the anti-christ will take over. It will not be at the time that many have supposed. For there is still some time left for this present administration to do its work.

For people will be running to and fro seeking answers. Many will be falling by the wayside. The world will be in turmoil; for all around there will be chaos. But woe to those who would follow after the man. Woe to those who would follow after the golden calf. His tongue would seemingly drip with honey, but deceit is in his heart. Are you not aware of his pull upon those who still follow after him?

Watch and wait. For his reign is not that far off."

Stephen Hanson

I DO NOT IMMEDIATELY TAKE THE TRIAL AWAY

12/12/21
Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. James 1:12

"IT is true...for I will come at your time of need. For it may not seem that I would come right at the time you expect Me to come, but it is upon my timeframe, says the Lord. For I do not immediately take the trials in this life away from you. They have a purpose, just as the sun and the rain do.

But I will not let you fall utterly down to the ground. I will allow you to be there; but then I will come to you. For you must taste the bitter root of the trial, so that then my hand of life can be seen and felt in your life. Then my life will be manifested in you. But it is not after the religious order of the day. Many in the body have framed their own life of their own idea of what I want for them.

But those difficult times that you endure, will enable you to be stronger. They will strengthen your resolve, and will give you a heart of endurance. For indeed, you will need this heart of endurance. For it will become a darker and darker season ahead. There will be a bitter struggle about the present crisis.

The division that has grown between the confusion of the virus will continue. Violent acts of brother against brother, will be manifested. The financial markets will experience a time of great upheavals. Many will look for bread and water on that day. But I also say that I will sustain you. I will see you through all the days ahead. And I will be with you unto the end."

Stephen Hanson

DEVELOP A HEART OF ENDURANCE

12/15/21
12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Hebrews 12:1-2
"The days are rushing towards my return. Blessed are those who endure unto the end. Blessed are you when you endure all types of hardships for you will receive the crown of life.

Blessed are you when you are reviled and accused of all types of wrong doing for my sake, so they did so to the prophets before you.

You must walk as the men of old walked. For they endured all types of hardships and set backs. For indeed, the days are evil. The days will become darker and darker, as you approach the final day of my return.

Learn to develop a heart of endurance. Learn to pace yourself. For you will have need of these things. "

Stephen Hanson

HIS OWN DID NOT RECEIVE HIM

12/25/21
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 1 Cor. 1:20

"I came into this world to give life unto those who would receive it. And yet my life is not the life of this world. I came to my own and my own did not receive Me. For many sought a king to deliver them from their earthly troubles. My kingdom is not of this world.

The end of this present age is rapidly coming to an end. Will you seek Me or will you seek the world? For this world's aim is the belly. There is nothing in this world that will ultimately satisfy you, and yet I will give you your heart's desire if you seek after Me.

Seek Me above the clamor of this present world and find Me in the silence of your own room. You don't need to read famous books from the past to find your answers. For the wisdom of man while it may at first glance will provide you with some answers, it is devoid of my wisdom."

Stephen Hanson
