Crossing the Line: Poem

From The Heart, Hearing God's Voice, Love, Meaning of Life

Choose Your Companions Well

I’ve been married for more than 40 years and have grown through many echoes of life, especially as a married man.

Sometimes you just have to laugh through the pain because the joy of marriage is on the other side of the table from you.

Crossing the line

I was laughing through my tears,

From a distance I drew you near.

Though I hate and love you so;

Please just stay when you should go.

By Steven R. Harrel 6/6/2014

IN 1977 the Lord spoke to me when I was posted at Fort Hood, Texas and told me to return to Phoenix where I would find Pam.  The Lord told me to remove any and all obstacles and marry that sometimes annoying woman.

I can’t say I’ve always been glad she listened that day but I’m always glad I listened.

Marriage, like life is a journey.  Choose your companions well.

THE DECIMATION 6! This Side of the Whirlwind

Prophecy, Steven R. Harrel for This Side of the Whirlwind, The Great Consummation, The Great Tribulation, The Latter Days

The Decimation 6

Proponent Proposition:

The Great Tribulation pertains to Israel and not the Church

 Proponents: Preterists, Pre-Tribers, Mid-Tribers and any who support Post-Tribulation doctrines.  The A-Millennial viewpoint ignores the above proposition considering it moot.

 According to proponents the Body of Christ (the Church) will not be subject to the Tribulation Period because the “Church” is exempt from the Judgment rendered during the Great Tribulation and this Judgment because it is the Wrath of God (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

 Proponents consent to the idea the Body of Christ took over where Israel failed God in His plans for humanity; therefore, it is Israel and not the Body of Christ who is subject to the coming Wrath of God (which is taught to take place during the Great Tribulation).  The Saints are anticipated to be exempt because the Body of Christ has been set free from the Laws of Sin and Death and Israel has not accepted Christ’s sacrifice for sin.

The Decimation 5b

NOW! Don’t be thrown by this first subtitle, “No New Salvations.”  This subject is still related to “Tribulation Saints” and what the Great Consummation message brings to this subject.

So, let’s press on.

(Excerpts, Excerpts, Excerpts from This Side of the Whirlwind)

Where else?

No New Salvations?

“Despair, you farmers, Wail, you vine growers, grieve for the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field has perished” (Joel 1:11).

• The ministers of the gospel are the farmers and vine growers who will mourn and weep for the lost.
• The wheat denotes the children of God, those who have received the gospel message but for whatever reason gave up before or during the Great Consummation.
• Frankly, I’m not sure exactly what the barley represents so I’ll leave that for God to reveal in His perfect timing.
• At the time of this harvest, all crops will and have failed and none were or will be saved.

The Decimation 5A: Tribulation Saints?

The Decimation 5a

Tribulation Saints

One of the tragic misunderstandings in the Pre, Mid and Post-Tribulation teachings as well as the A-Millennial and Preteristic viewpoints is the idea of Tribulation Saints.  Tribulation Saints as presented by these false doctrines represent those individuals, Lukewarm Christians and or secular peoples, who come to the knowledge of Jesus as Lord AFTER the Resurrection and Rapture of the Body of Christ has taken place.  BAD doctrine!

Once again, these wrong minded teachings are the result of Christendom not having the entire message for the End Times.  Remember, the Prophets Daniel and John were told by God to, “…Shut up the words and seal the book until the “Time of the End,” (Daniel 8:11-26; 12:4-9 and Revelation 10:1-7).

WE ARE the Tribulation Saints!

Those Christians living in the Latter Days “right now” will be the Tribulation Saints.

Hey Whirlwind Fans!

In case you were wondering, we are away preparing a place for the coming Storm of the Great Consummation.

Yep, that’s what many mistakenly call the Great Tribulation.

At any rate, we are still writing but just not as much as before.

A Prophetic Life? True-Life 41

A Prophetic Life?

Thus says the Lord, “One year from now you will have a son and he will be a man of God.”

These words were spoken – by a stranger – to my mother – 12 months before I was born.  I don’t know if I was born on the exact same day 12 months later but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Though not by choice at first I have lived a life filled with prophecies and interactions with God. Today, I would not have it any other way!

Some prophecies over the course of my life were given to me (for me) by others with prophetic giftings – some of those prophecies came to pass and some not so much.

So what is a legitimate prophecy?

Who says You’re Lukewarm?

This Side of the Whirlwind’s: Who Can Learn?

Hearing God's Voice, Love, Meaning of Life, Prophecy

Who Can Learn?

Scripture supports itself!

Who can accurately learn and understand the message found in God’s Word?

Well, according to Isaiah 28:9–13 and Hebrews 5:12-14, God teaches and enlightens those who mature in the pursuit of His Word and His Will:

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed into the image of his Son… (Romans 8:29 NIV)

So who will HE teach?
