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.

Revelation Chapter 5 Revealed: This Side of the Whirlwind

Hearing God's Voice, Prophecy, Steven R. Harrel for This Side of the Whirlwind, The End Times, The Latter Days

Opening the Little Book

At the appropriate time, God will call for the opening of the little book locked with the seven seals, as mentioned in Revelation 5:1–14.

The seals unlock a series of events designed to put God’s agenda for the end of the Latter Days into action.

In verse 2 of chapter 5, an angel cries out, seeking anyone worthy to open the seven seals and set into action the agenda for the beginning of the end. When the search begins, no one worthy can be found to open the book or initiate God’s program.

Chapter 5 outlined a sequence of events that supports split-versing and corroborates its use in the covenant of Jesus Christ as taken from Daniel 9:24–27.

Here’s another one of my Prayers I stumbled across and thought you might enjoy.

Here’s to hoping Jesus enjoyed them each and every one!

Sweeter the Moments

Oh Lord, my God, sweeter are the moments I spend with You;

The Decimation 5B: This Side of the Whirlwind

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.

A February Prayer: This Side of the Whirlwind

A February Prayer

Hey Whirlwind Fans, this is simply a prayer I offered on February 26^th 2019 because I was feeling moved by the Holy Spirit as a sense of His love flowed through my spirit.

How much more blessed can a people be than to actually feel the loving presence of their God!

So here’s the prayer:

Stars fill the heavens and streak across the night’s sky.

Brilliant and glorious light bathes our world every day in life warming beauty.

Then there’s that first cry of a newborn child

The first tears from a beloved

Laughter at a distance – listening to such delight in those we love.

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.

Raising Storm Shutters!

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.

This Side of the Whirlwind: Making Ready!

Making Ready!

For three years now we have been shouting, “Make Ready!”

The Storm is nearly upon us.

If you’ve noticed “This Side of the Whirlwind” the Blog has not been as prolific… then you’ve noticed we’ve been about the Master’s (Jesus’) business.

We have been purchasing land,

storing up supplies.

Making connections with other like-minded Christians who are also preparing for the coming Storm of the Tribulation Period that is coming.

This Side of the Whirlwind: Prophetic Conundrum

Accepting the Challenge!, Hearing God's Voice, Prophecy, Steven R. Harrel for This Side of the Whirlwind

Prophecy’s Conundrum

One of the most frustrating aspects of serving the King (Jesus) is the waiting on prophetic fulfillment.

I have not witnessed much of this phenomenon in the lives of others, but for me, for my life, it has been a widespread singularity.  You know, going out on the end of that Rope-Bridge of faith.

AS a boy I felt called to lead groups of Christians into the wilderness, forests and deserts et’cetera.  I had no idea it would involve me writing a book.

After I was filled with the Holy Spirit at the age of nine I began hearing God’s voice.  Over and over I would receive Words of Knowledge which would come to pass in relatively short order. Unfortunately, as I got older the Lord’s voice which was previously so loud and certain… now began to grow quieter and less pronounced.

Yes, the Words of Knowledge still came to pass but I was more uncertain as the years mounted upon years. 

More Signs of the Times

Hey Whirlwind Fans, I read this article sent to me by a friend and thought you might benefit from the read.

Note: even though “This Side of the Whirlwind” explains many of the misinterpretations found in this article (Great Tribulation based misunderstandings) the article still points out some pertinent and interesting Signs of the Times.

Enjoy!
