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?

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

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?

This Side of the Whirlwind: How Close is Close?

How Close is Close?

The Great Consummation is nearly upon us. We are deep into the Latter Days time line, and the end is oh so near! As of 2015, sixty-seven years out of an eighty years or less time line have elapsed. The time line began in 1948 when Israel became a nation and now leaves very little time remaining before the end. With this in mind, how many people do you know and care about who are not yet saved? Every believer needs to get busy!

This Side of the Whirlwind provides readers with the information needed to effectively refute every mistaken End Times doctrine currently available. It may require a little work, but it is very possible. God’s Word interprets itself when every scripture has been considered. Previous generations could live their entire lives without genuinely fearing the coming of the end. This cannot be said for this generation. As faulty End Times doctrines provide false hope, millions of Christians are in danger of losing their salvation. Pre-, Mid-, and Post-tribulation rapture theories, as well as A-Millennialism and Preterism, cannot continue without an effective challenge. Bear in mind, false End Times doctrines are not the only issues that may lead the sinners or saved to hell. After all, not everyone recognizes or accepts Jesus as God or Savior or acknowledges His coming in our lifetimes.

This Side of the Whirlwind: Climb High!

The Adventure and The Climb!

Don’t doubt God has a plan for your life. (Romans 8:29 “Them He did foreknow…)

More significantly, God has a plan for the entire Body of Christ and world as a whole (Revelation 17:17).

Sometimes unpleasant circumstances take place before God’s purposes reach fruition (Genesis 15:13-16).

During such campaigns the saints can sometimes endure great struggles and persecution and even death for God knows the greater good and sometimes we are His tools.

Time A Wasted

Oh folly of man, oh arrogance of my kindred, whilst thou would not humblest thyself in the knowledge of thy God and recognize His greatness amidst the bottomless quality of thy immeasurable comparative insignificance, others accomplish His will whilst thy bosom remains empty.

The Second Half of Christ’s Covenant Part 3

The Second Half of Christ’s Covenant

Part 3

We left off with this contract between God and Humanity:

Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse;

• the blessing, if you obey the commandment of the LORD your God which I command you today;
• And the Curse (Judgment) if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today. (Deuteronomy 11:26-28 NKJV)

Now, let’s look at the Split Versing of the Covenant of Jesus Christ.”  The two divisions of the contract or covenant can be seen in Isaiah 61:1 and 2.

First Half of the Covenant”

At the beginning of His ministry Jesus announced Himself the fulfillment of the Blessing’s Half of the Contract when He said Isaiah 61:1-2a was fulfilled by Him (Jesus).  He did this on the day He entered into His hometown Synagogue in Nazareth (Luke 4:14-21) and proclaimed Himself Israel’s Messiah.  Here is what He read, Isaiah 61:1-2a:

 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach glad tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted; to proclaim liberty to the captives; and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

This Side of the Whirlwind: Wrath Vs Tribulation

Hearing God's Voice, Steven R. Harrel for This Side of the Whirlwind, The Great Consummation

Is the Great Tribulation God’s Wrath?

Determining whether or not the Tribulation Period and the Wrath of God are different events does not necessarily confirm both events will take place at different times. The two events could reasonably take place over the same or nearly the same periods and still serve completely separate purposes.

Both events could also span parallel time frames if it were not for their divergent attributes and purposes.

We know from the Bible and new revelation found in “This Side of the Whirlwind, the Coming Apocalypse,” that the Tribulation Period will take place during the first two and a half years of the Great Consummation.  We know the Rapture of the Saints will follow the Great Tribulation based on Matthew 24:29.

Jesus said:

Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the heavens…

This Side of the Whirlwind: An Unpopular Truth!

An Unpopular Truth

But though he (Jesus) had done so many miracles before them, yet they (Israel) believed not on him: that the saying of Esaias (Isaiah) the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted and I should heal them. These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him (Jesus) (John 12:37–41 KJV emphasis added).

Of course, the report in question speaks of Jesus the Christ.[1] While the gospel has been offered to every gentile nation with varied levels of acceptance, some of the earth’s populations have been created as brute beasts predestined for their own destruction (2 Peter 2:12, Jude 1:10). Conspicuously, if the gateway to destruction is broad[2] and the gateway to salvation narrow,[3] there will always and unavoidably be more destined toward their own destruction than toward the glories of salvation. This is a sad but accurate biblical truth. Pray for those who cannot internalize (see or hear) the gospel message. Pray for God’s boundless mercy on every person you know. Petition our Savior through your prayers for mercy on the lost, but more important, pray for those brothers and sisters in Christ who are currently saved and love the Lord but have not obeyed in learning God’s Word effectively. Remember, any Christian who receives the Mark of the Beast will suffer the full measure of God’s Wrath (Revelation 14:9–12).

The horrors I have witnessed in the visions of God’s Wrath bring tears to my eyes EVERY time I think on these issues.

Protect our Little Children

How can everyone so miss the actual point in this picture?

God loves bigots, liars, homosexuals, adulterers and gossips et’ cetera.

To know where this is going open the following link in another window:

https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/09/23/protesters-swarm-long-island-drag-queen-story-hour/

To be a homosexual or Trans-sexual or Transvestite is no different than being an adulterer; rather, the issue is not their chosen lifestyle but their attempts to influence children to sexually inappropriate lifestyle choices long before these children have a sense of their own sexuality.

There is an active movement taking place which is designed to intentionally confuse children of their own sexual identities.   To deny this is absurd.

Consider:

Do we want Adulterers actively promoting adultery to little children?

Do we want Liars vigorously encouraging our babies to be liars?

How about Pedophiles, do we want exuberant (as in playing dress-up) efforts made to promote child rape and abuse by Pedophiles as they openly presence pedophilia to babes?

At what age is it reasonable for non-parent personalities to promote any level of sexuality to other people’s children?

The LGBT and like-minded elements of our society are actively promoting and even enlisting by default 3 and 4 and 5 year olds in their deviant lifestyle choices.

Undeniably, the historic and global perspective for aberrant behavior in all societies for thousands of years has recognized homosexuality, adultery, lying, thievery, murder and pedophilia as aberrant and immoral behavior and lifestyle choices.

Just because the current societal perspective on what is right or wrong does not seem to recognize the destructive nature of these foolish life choices does NOT negate what is and has been considered wicked by humanity for a thousand generations.

So somehow this singular generation is wiser than thousands of past generations.

Should make you think! Unk.

Open our eyes Lord so that we might see your ways!
