PREPARATION

8/20/17

Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Matt.

"From out of the depths of my love for my people, I say that you prepare for the days ahead.

For it is not in stocking food or guns that you would be prepared. For it is not in stocking the world's goods nor in building underground shelters, that you would be safe from the world's problems. It is in trusting Me, and allowing Me, and allowing my Spirit to guide you and direct you.

For how would you know when trouble comes? How will you ever be able to know beforehand of the troubles that are coming? For my Spirit runs deeper than anything that you will ever find upon this earth.

The coming year will cause many to lose faith, but that is because many have not had their roots anchored deep into the soil of my word and Spirit. Many have followed the Spirit of this world. Many have trusted in the arm of man. Many have followed and listened to spiritual leaders rather than knowing Me.

The judgment that is coming will shake the very foundations. For it will crumble buildings. It will cause hurricanes to wipe out cities; and severe storms of all kinds of the most extreme, will destroy crops and devastate many.

But I AM not a Father who would not leave my own without a way out. I AM not One who would leave my own starving. But you must not be alarmed by some who say that this event in the heavens means that I AM soon to take my own into myself.

For tribulation must come first, and then the man of perdition will come promising many things. But he is not the one that many of you think. You have been deceived in your understanding."

"THOU ART WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES"

8/15/17

Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.Daniel 5:27

"I tell you oh land that once was the land of the brave and the free: I tell you that you have entered into a new time frame. There is no turning back now. For surely, my arm is being lifted from you. You are torn on all sides. You are sick to the core. You are like a ship tossed upon the ocean.

Your turmoil has reached a pinnacle in my sight. You worry about the imminent threat from North Korea, but I tell you that that is just a diversion. For the real threat will come when two nations will combine forces. You are not even aware of the next move.

Surely, a mad man would boast of his threats, but he is weak compared to the other two. On every street corner, there are the signs of imminent blood shed, and yet justice is far from you.

You say that you care for the widow and the fatherless, but your leaders are more concerned about their own wealth. You are being hurled into a time frame where there is no turning back. The gap that separates many of you, will widen more and more. And you will not even recognize some who you once thought were your brothers and sisters. You have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. "

"WORSHIP

7/17/17

Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me. Hosea 13:4

"What is the purpose of worship, would say the Lord? Why would one worship someone higher than themselves? Because man is not worthy of worship; his foibles and weaknesses cause him to be frail and without perfection. The world looks for something beyond themselves, and yet many make a god of themselves. They idolize and worship men and women of great achievements, and yet these men and women had weaknesses just like your own.

There is no one who has ever lived throughout history that has been worthy of worship other than my Son.

Nothing can reach the epitome of perfection; there is nothing throughout history that has represented the supremacy of worthiness and devotion, to worship other than my Son. Your ideals and your formulations of men and even ideas, fall short of perfection. For what could you conjure up in your own mind that would replace Me, says the Lord? "

"DON'T GO UNTO OTHER PASTURES"

6/28/17

11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. John 10

"For I AM the Great Shepherd. I laid my life down for the sheep. I came to give them eternal life; but many are feeding in other pastures. They have strayed, and have gone to feed upon the things of this world. But my pasture has all the needed things for you to feed upon.

Is not my word enough? Are not my words of life enough to feed upon for your soul? For in feeding upon these things you would come unto mature manhood. A child grows up and eats wholesome food that is offered to him from the table of his parents. And so likewise one's bones are renewed, one's spirits are given grace, from feeding at my table.

The world tells you to come and eat and drink and be merry, for tomorrow we would die. But this life is not a party. It is not just in eating and drinking and making merry, that one would live a life, but it is in honoring Me, in finding that place where you would worship Me in Spirit and in truth.

For the way is narrow that would lead unto eternal life. The way of this world is wide unto the way of destruction. It is a road that is paved with all the things that this world would seem to promise you. But they are glittering things that would fade. They fade in the light of my Son's grace that He has come to offer you.

In this life you will face many tribulations, and the trials will mount-up at times like a heavy load, but I have come to lift that load from you. My yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Feed upon the things of my kingdom. Don't go unto other pastures where the water is tainted and the grass is bitter. "

A WIND OF PREPARATION FOR THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING

6/19/17

John 3:8 - 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.


1 Kings 19:11 - And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake:

""These are the times of trouble; These are the times of wondering and waiting. For the land waits in anticipation. It waits in anticipation for the turmoil that would come.
I tell you that I am sweeping a great wind across the nation. The wind will rise and fall. The wind will fall upon the peoples. It is not a wind of destruction, but it is a wind of preparation for the things that are ahead.

As it blows, let it enlighten your hearts. It may whisper at first, but then it will speak more clearly. The grains of sand fall through the hour glass slowly, and then one by one, it all slips through. So it is with the events leading up to my second coming.

Many delve into their books, declaring this event or that one; but soon one event will tip the scales, and then all the dominoes will fall. Prepare your hearts, and let them be strengthened by faith in Me.

For the first wind will blow, and it will come in preparation to warn you of the things that are to come. But then the great wind will come afterwards; and while there are winds that are seen and blow, this one will cause a greater and greater division in the land. For, you are already a greatly divided nation, but because of the political unrest and chaos, the land will eventually be seiged.

Woe to those who promise great things---Woe to those who speak from deceitful lips--- for a great fall is coming.

The tongue is a mighty member; it boasts of many things."

"THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD"

6/13/17

Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. Hebrews 9:22

8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1 John 1:8

"The shedding of my blood was an event that poured forth my love unto all humanity. But many have abused my blood; for they assume that they sin no more. The enemy has caused them to think that they have no need for forgiveness. It is a doctrine that some foolish teachers have taught. For I say that I will bring my people unto perfection but that will not happen until you meet Me face-to-face.

My blood is a sanctifying force. It is greater and more pure than anything upon this earth. It more valuable than any riches you could acquire. The blood of a thousand goats and lambs could never begin to equal this.

In times past many bulls and rams were given as a sacrifice for the sins of the people. But it never began to make man pure from his sins. And now, you have priests and other men, who say that your sins are forgiven. I tell you that is is blasphemy! It is even worse than the shedding of the blood of an animal.

For the blood that has flowed in ages past, has filled up the cups. It has ran down the altars. It has stained the robes of the priests. But the blood that was shed innocently, does not leave a stain on hearts. It wipes away every sin. It renews your life like the eagles; and it makes you pure unto eternal life.

Don't think that you will ever stop sinning. Don't think that you have already arrived at perfection. But I will make you whole and complete in Me. I will cause you to be renewed like the sparrow. And I will give you a feast like you have never imagined before. In my Father's kingdom I am waiting for you. Continue the race that is set before you. Walk as ones that would know the road ahead. And I will indeed pour out blessings upon you.

The darkness will not invade your tent. I Am He that calls you forth. "

"LOOK INTO THE TRUE MIRROR OF MY SON"

6/2/17

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; 24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. 25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does. James 1

"Out of the depths I cry out to a nation that does not know Me. All day long I watch as the innocent are killed. I see the deceit and the falsehood that comes out of the White House. I tell you that leaders come and go. If a man would look into the mirror of life he would see his true image. But if a man would look away, and forget who he is, then that image of himself would change.

The mirror image of Me is what a man should look for. For I came into this world to do the work of my Father. And I laid my life down as a blood sacrifice for your sins. The Father and I are one in Spirit. And when you look into my eyes you see the mirror image of my Father's eyes.

The mirror image reflects the physical image of the person looking into it. What type of image do you want to project to the world? Look into the true mirror of my Son; then your image will be unwavering in Me."

ALL MY WORDS ARE GATHERED UP LIKE A TREASURY

5/29/17

He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end. Ecc. 3:11
"All my words are gathered up like a treasury in the heavens, and I release them one at a time, to those servants of mine. For the wind blows freely back and forth. Time slowly removes all things upon this earth. Each and everyone of you ages ; the young become old, people go off to war, nations fall and rise again, and the seasons change.

The spring gives rise to summer. Summer changes to fall, and the fall months slowly change to winter.

Time passes through the hourglass. Each grain of sand has its moment. There are times in the lives of my people, when eternity stretches out and is seen.

For in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, the curtain is pulled back. For one would behold and see that place that is reserved for you. It is there waiting for you.

The trials of this life will fade away, and they will form droplets of gold. And you my people, will behold my face, and forever you will live with Me."

Stephen Hanson

"WHO WILL YOU RUN TO ON THOSE DAYS?"

5/27/17

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. Mark 13:8
"What will you do my people, when everything around you is being turned upside down? Who will you run to that will help you with these things? What will happen when the entire government system is shaken? What will be your focus on that day?

For nation will be at war with nation. The deceit in the government system will run deeper than ever before. There will be an uprising and the people will continue to march like never before. For there will be bloodshed on every corner.

And then a marshaling of the troops will occur. For martial law will ensue. But black and white will band together, and those in charge will flee to their caves and bunkers.

These things must come. And then a great leader will emerge. He will not bow down to Me or any other. But those of mine who remain true to Me will find safety in those days. "

THE WORDS FROM YOUR PULPITS HAVE NOT PREPARED YOU

4/23/17

Thus says the LORD, "Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind And makes flesh his strength, And whose heart turns away from the LORD. Jeremiah 17:5

10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: Isaiah 30

"Many will leave the cities on that day. Many will be lost in confusion. For some had hoped that the nation would have risen to new heights. But a handful, a remnant will have known all along, that these things will come.

For surely, many of you will be left wondering why all of this has happened. You think that surely a loving God would not allow these things to happen.

You think that the strength of your arm, or your artillery would save you. You are such a foolish people! But if you would have bought salve for your eyes, then you would have known what was coming.

The words from your pulpits have not prepared you for that day, nor have the pleasing words of some of your prophets. "
