Rapture 28

The rest of us  who are alive and remain

The rapture is a word that does speak to us. It is a word that reminds me of scripture and mature and mature is the word that I seek for this story. We we are to be mature in Christ we have to read scripture. And we have to find answers and we have to seek for those things which are of God. I do not make excuses but I have a unique disability which makes it difficult for me to read. Now that sounds weird and probably is but something about my own words helps me spiritually.

Spiritual is the key to being of grace. Grace is the part of the story which is meant to relieve us of the law. The law is meant to submit to Grace and Grace is meant to be of love.

Now I capitalize Grace and I won't make an excuse for it. God specifically gave me a dream to help me understand the nature of Grace. Now grace of Christ is His grace and mercy. Grace of love is the part of this story which God gave to me to help me deal with the law.

In see Grace as a mother figure. In the dream she spoke to the law and asked them to permit me to enter into the place of the law. And there was the food and fruit that I needed to grow spiritually. The law was amazed that she who was Grace had spoken for me personally. The fact is she was Grace of life and as Grace of life she was the one God chose to represent Himself. He sent her as a measure to me to help me in this story.

I did not enter in but I wanted to. It was just that I did not understand the true nature of grace. I saw people who went in had money. They paid for their produce. I believed that if I went in I would be asked for money and I had none. I don't weep but I was bothered by that dream. I saw myself as poor. Yet I was rich with God.

The story of the dream is meant to be part of the heart of God. He sent me Grace of Life and I was meant to take liberally of the fruit. I wanted to enter in but I saw the law as the enemy and not the protector. That wasn't the reason I suffered but it was the reason I didn't enter into the fullness which God wanted for me. If I had I would have obtained even greater things for my soul then what I did.

Now if I had asked God instead of assuming I would have learned then what years of suffering have taught me. That the grace of Christ was of life. And the Grace of Life was of Hope. I did not see it and I did not understand because I was torn apart by a spirit. Not literally as in physically but spiritually torn from the top of my head to my neck.

Now this tearing is part of my history which I went through and I had to go through it in order to stand.

Now if I say that God does things in mystery then it is true. I had to stand in order that others in my family might have life. They were on the way to their death. And none of them knew it. All of them suffered but that was part of the story which God had in store for me. I suffered as well. I was filled with a spiritual emphasis on torment. And it was a spirit of evil who fought me personally. And it had power so strong it ripped me from my head to my neck and only the grace of God prevented me from dying then and there. I had to have faith but I also had presumption. And someday God will show men what I suffered. In Heaven I will have a scar for a long time and that scar will be there as a reminder of what I suffered.

Now the purpose of this story isn't to portray my suffering. I never had to bear what Jesus did. No one I know could. We live in an age that kills and murders and perhaps tortures but we try to hide it. And we do because only those tormented by evil go as far as they did with Jesus. He suffered horribly and he had to go to hell for us. We sometimes forget. We sometimes forget that the torment he suffered was first at the hands of those who loved him. Then at the hands of the Jew and then the Roman and then of death.

Death wanted to tear him apart because he thought Jesus was responsible for his suffering. Death was a spirit called Time and Time was part of the story of two men. One was Deth and one was Evil. Evil became Time and Deth became Death. They merged in a weird way and they had a child. That child was named Joy. Now she was a woman but she had been torn loose from the mooring of time and that meant she had been lost in time for so long no one knew where she was. No one knew what had happened to her. And no one really cared. No one except God.

God knows things we could not handle. He bears up under it in hopes that we will live. We do but we don't live with hope or joy or peace. We live with ...

And I'll leave that because most of us don't know why we live. Scripture tells us "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." I do not dispute that only I answer Paul "For me to live is Christ and to live is gain." For I do not wish to die but I wish to live. He wrote it because he knew he would die. I speak it because I know I shall live.

And I speak it to you that you are not meant to die but to live. Not just through Jesus Christ but through hope. Sin is the nemesis of hope and joy and peace and love. He creates in us long suffering and that is not a good thing. We may think it so because it is a gift but not of the spirit which is of God. But of Sin.

For Sin is the only spirit that creates in us pain of Long suffering and that is not the life I want. I have been told again and again by well meaning Christians that I suffer well. That my suffering is gain and that I should never complain or never stop suffering but learn to be content with it.

Though they are well meaning their meaning becomes the well to which Sin dwells. And we are the dwelling place of too many things. That means what it means. We are not what we seem and only freedom of Sin will ever teach us to see. We cannot see because we are blinded by evil. And it is the spirit that leads us day by day into darkness so that we will fall.

That is the purpose of Sin, the evil spirit. It has only one desire and that is to do evil. It is the only spirit that wants to crucify Jesus on the cross day by day. It is the spirit that was of penance. It wanted us to pay for the price of Christ but we could not. Jesus died and he rose up out of the grave. He died but he took back death and made it his power. Death was of Sin and that was his strength. He took it from God and made it his. We were subject to sin and to the spirit of sin and to the power of the sting of sin. We all were. Many of you still are. Only the power of the cross freed us and we were set free of sin and the power of that. If you want freedom then ask Jesus into your heart and don't hesitate to fight sin. With prayer.

Now I write these things because I pray fervently for the rest of us who are alive and remain. Jesus took part of Paradise up to the first Heaven. From there he came to earth and then to men and then to us. We all were sinners and none could be salvaged except through him. Life was in him and we needed it to free us of the wood which was of our heart. And of the flesh which was of sin. And to bring us back to life which was of the spirit.

Now I want to talk about the rapture. I have been fighting for it for months. I haven't known why I fought but I knew it was something that needed doing. And I fought because I loved God.

Last night while I was praying God instructed me to give him an idea on how to bless my family. I did. It sounded wonderful. I said "What if there was a train going from earth to glory. What if all my relatives were on the train. On the train would be angels in disguise and God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Only they would be like the angels. They would have names like King and Sir and whatever they wanted. The trip would take them to different stations including a stop in Paradise. Then a trip to the stars. And then a trip up to see the Father in all His Glory.

I was hit by a thought that it was dumb but I left it with the Lord. During the night I had the most horrific dream. I saw my family on a train. Only we were ambushed every step of the way. We were hit by sin and by demon and by drop off''' which either killed or hurt the family. And everyone blamed me for the trouble. I was the one who bore it and I came under the worst attack and all I had for defense was wood. Not something you want for a battle of this size. There were hills and deep valleys and it wasn't a trip to glory but a trip to hell.

Well, that dream was to show me two things. First that Sin was in charge of the train. The bridge hadn't been built across the great divide. It was subject to great drop offs. And the enemy was still there attacking me at whim.

Normally when I pray and get a dream showing me this I can pray and the next night the dream begins to straighten out the problems. Only this time the dreams have been of pure hell for two years. Now some were normal but most dreams show me under attack or sick or lying in a hospital. I have been sick and I have been under attack and I do hurt. Now from sitting and sitting is part of a sting if you rearrange the words.

The sting of sin is the evil of vim. Vim is like the vi of vibration and not the vim of vigor. But the m is for men and we men have to sit up and take notice. If we don't we will fail to find help. Its a matter of time but Sin wants us in his snare. God doesn't want us to suffer and he knows I beg him to help us. Even if evil men go into hell at least they might have a chance. If they go into the realm of sin they will have little to none.

That may sound hard to understand but I can't emphasize enough that Sin is the most vile instrument created. It is vile and an instrument of a spirit of Darkness. I'll leave that for now as capital Dark because this guy is evil. You might laugh and kids call evil good. Only they are children and so are adults who want evil.

Evil isn't just of murder or evil people but of a tyrant so vile no one who has ever lived on earth comes close to being like him. Hitler was a head of vile men but he was a pussycat compared to Sin. Sin is rotted to the core.

I want to scream and yell and tell you to run. But you won't listen to me. I'm just a voice that is quiet and shy and reserved. Mainly because I cannot speak. But my heart is serious. I hope so anyway. I do want joy and hope and laughter to return to my family. They are discouraged and my family is derailed. I try to pray day by day by day without ceasing. I wait for the release which has to come. Yet it hasn't and Sin still carries the story.

Now I know why but Sin doesn't. He ignores me because he knows that I am of God. So he goes after my family and strives to put them into evil. He has worked on that for months and tries to bring circumstances together. Sometimes it works but God isn't going to let it happen. It may have but that is part of his story. God. For He was there with me in this and will be with me in what is to come.

For there is coming a confrontation and it will be between me and the world. I know that this is coming but I don't really understand it. Except it is meant to be part of a story of scripture and of a man named Jesus who will return to fight. It will be his desire to be a friend but we may not want him. He has to rule with iron and iron is fer. Fer is like fear but it can also be restful as in Pine or Conifer which is of the redwood or Douglas Fir.

Now the cone is the spirit and the spirit is of God. But sometimes it doesn't help to go into knowledge. It helps to go into spiritual help. So here is a message from God to the nation of America.

America. Get on your knees. Don't stop for go and don't stop for yes. Stop only to pray. Stop only to pray with fervency. For God has set a course towards America and if she will repent He will turn her on His knee. He will give her a valley where she will be protected. If she does not turn she will be chastened. Chastening of the Lord is swift but remember David. He wanted to test God by numbering Israel. He chose the swift and that was the hard course. It took place in a day and so it will be for the people of liberty.

Those who go by liberty need to know that it is not capitalized. She who is America has lost her reason and her understanding. She has failed to follow the course and she is fighting with the Spirit of the Lord. She is fighting to proclaim freedom to all men while submitting herself to vile.

If she wishes to remain free remember that God has set a course and He wishes her to follow. He wants us to survey her and to search her and to find among her a way. For the way of the Lord is to find those who wish to serve. And to serve is the first step to liberty of God. True liberty is of God but even then America needs to decide if she will chose freedom of expression over Liberty.

In Philadelphia there is a bell of Liberty. It is the only bell that remains as symbol of cracked nation. Cracked nation was how the people felt when their soul was cracked by the divide between South and North. Names were made and people still follow those old beliefs even after more then a century. That is part of the divide which will ripen. The other is of men. Men desire to be free to follow the longing of their heart. That longing is bent and twisted by time. It is bent in a pretzel and it is bent on vile.

Vile is the spirit which proceeds out of the unclean. The unclean are not of the cast off of society but of the men who rise to power. They are of the lunatic fringe and they are of the vile and they are of the spirit of industry. It has to cease and men of vile must give in to God. If men do not submit then God will tear apart this country searching for a man who will submit. And that means even if he has to tear apart the entire world he will find one man he can trust.

To trust means that God desires to bring forth justice. And we know if He cannot find one man He can trust He will be forced to rule with iron. It will not be of the conifer but it will be of the pipe. The pipe is not of music but of lead. And lead is of weight and men do not know the nature by which they are held. If they did they would be terrified.

For men are held up by the power of God. They are held by the power of love. And they do vile because God is long suffering.

Now if you understand long suffering you think it a blessing. It is not. It is a curse. And not a curse on God but of Sin. And Sin is the most vile spirit to exist. And he is the vilest spirit to coexist with men.

And those men who submit to him are legion. And they are the spirit which gives evil its power. And if they cannot submit then God will be forced to rule the lead on their head. And that means he will literally knock them loose of sin. And they will be broken and shattered. It isn't going to be easy for them. It will be the hardest thing they have ever gone through. Each of them will be tested and each of them will go through vile.

The search for a righteous man will begin soon. It will be part of the test of men to see who is stronger. Those who pray or those who don't. Men who pray will be tested according to their true faith. All men will suffer and all men will have to go through trials to see if they are willing to make it to the top. If they make it they will rise up to be with the Lord. The rest of us will have to wait until God decides who is strongest. And that will take awhile.

In the meantime we who are alive and remain will be taught what it is like to trust. We will be carried up to God in a way that will test each of us. None of us will know who He is. We will each have to face him in a way that will weaken us physically but comfort us spiritually.

And in the reason for this it is because of sin. Sin is the spirit of evil and none of us fight it. We resist but we don't fight it. We don't know how. We have forgotten that God is real and able to deliver us.

Finally remember that there is coming a day when we will be delivered and set free. It may not be the exact way we want to be set free but it will be there as a help.

Now I haven't spoken to you as a friend. I've spoken to you as a source of trial. I say that not by decree but because if we carry up our division to Heaven it will carry up Sin. Sin is the spirit which desires to be carried up by us as a whole. We would carry him to Heaven and he would carry us to hell. Heaven would become a vile place.

If you try to put together those who claim to be of faith they would revile those who claim to be of hope. And hope would be those who have true faith. Only no one would understand it.

So think on these things as God begins to test us. For the time of our trial is.... how shall I say it but at hand. And it will come to us one by one until all on earth are tested by God. And if we can say we are truly ready for the rapture then maybe we are of God.

In the meantime remember it isn't Gods desire to choke us into submitting. We submit because we are of God. We give in because we are of time. And we stop because we know our time is up.
