Jesus Christ speaks to the sleepy ones:

When a bright light shines upon you, you shut your eyes. When evil comes, you shut the door and lock it tight. When horrors are revealed, you turn away. Turn away to me now, my beloved, for all those things are at your door, and some of you are sleeping through my alarm. I have sounded many alarms, and some have not turned to see why I am warning you. The evil ways of many have been established against you for so long that you do not notice. Wake up! Wake up, and come unto me for refuge from the storms, and I will give you peace and understanding.

In a light rain you wear a jacket with a hood and in heavy rain you reach for an umbrella. But when the lightning strikes and the winds blow hard and the floods begin, all seek shelter. This is the kind of storm that is coming soon, and you must prepare. If a hurricane was forecast to hit your area, you would believe the news and get ready. Believe ME now and get ready for the storm. Do not say, “The skies are clear and there is nothing on the horizon.” for you cannot see the waves of destruction that I can see. It is coming nearer and nearer, and you will not be warned of its approach by natural man, but only by those who hear me, those who are shouting and sounding the alarm.

What happens after the storm? The skies will quiet and you will go outside to assess the damage. What will be needed to rebuild and repair? Will there be great oaks lying in the streets that must be removed? Will houses of the weak and elderly be fallen in upon them and they will need rescue? Will all roads to get supplies and food be blocked? How will you survive if roads are damaged and no deliveries can get to your town? Think about these realities, my brethren, and do all you can to prepare your hearts and homes for challenging times ahead. For the storms are coming and many will not prepare. Many will be lost, and much confusion will come. But mine will be in peace and safety, for they have prepared. Be awake now. My love for you is great and I am sounding these alarms because I love you. Be loved, be prepared, be safe in me your Lord.

Today’s Written Word

Colossians 1:28,29

Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Whereunto I also labor, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

Joel 3:9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:

Isaiah 25:4 CSB For you have been a stronghold for the poor person, a stronghold for the needy in his distress, a refuge from storms and a shade from heat. When the breath of the violent is like a storm against a wall,

Isaiah 25:8 CSB When he has swallowed up death once and for all, the Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face and remove his people’s disgrace from the whole earth, for the LORD has spoken.

Exodus 10:19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.

Prepare: I Samuel 7:3 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

Psalm 59:4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

A Word of Encouragement

Our Lord and Christ has been sounding many alarms about both physical storms approaching, and also political and financial ones. He is telling us that some are still sleeping. It is possible that we are awake in one area of life and still dozing in others. We can celebrate the cleansing that Jesus Christ has done in our spiritual lives, for we are white as snow in him. We also live in our soul and body and each of us need to prepare and follow the wise council we have received from above. Take a fresh look at the categories listed below, and ask him if there are any areas where we are still needing to make preparations. As always, those who are connected to God and walking by the spirit will have peace and plenty, for our Father is the God of all abundance, and He leads us in prosperity of love, joy and peace, by His Son Jesus Christ!

An Action Item

Last spring we began to receive prophecies about the coming storms in the areas listed below. We know that there is a spiritual war raging in the heavens and upon earth, for the souls of the lost. This spiritual warfare effects the natural realm, and it is reflected and expressed in the earth by wars, earthquakes, volcanoes erupting, and catastrophic weather. The violence in political demonstrations, floods and fires that have exploded in numbers and frequency over the past year are clear evidence. Let’s pray in peace and trust the Lord for guidance in the following areas: Hearing his voice for spiritual wisdom, Finances, Food and Water, Heat and Energy, and Safety.

Victories and Blessings

Did you know you can make pancakes out of red lentils and water?!!! Yes, you can and they are really yummy with a little maple syrup, or filled like a taco or wrap. Lentils will also store well in glass jars or Mylar bags for up to 10 years. Recipe: Cover 2 cups of Red lentils in water and let soak overnight in the fridge. Rinse them well in a strainer, and add back about two cups of water and puree them in a bullet or blender. The consistency should be like pancake batter. If you like them sweet you can add a bit of honey, stevia, or sugar, and cinnamon and nutmeg, I add vanilla and a dash of salt. It makes about 8 to 10 pancakes, at 150 calories each, 1 gm. fat, 14 gm. protein, 13 gm. fiber. Lentils are cheap, healthy and cook quickly!
