If I should be raptured
before you wake
cry not for me,
but instead please take
these words to heart,
because they are the truth
and under the sun
there is nothing new.
We were all warned,
we knew that it’d come
death for many,
salvation for some.
There’s only one way
to Eternity for all,
it’s through Christ Jesus,
so hear the call.
But it’s not just one thing,
there’s something more
please listen very carefully,
and do not ignore
that in addition to belief,
and to an acceptance
a good heart as well
is required for salvation.
A good heart is a humble heart,
not one filled with hate,
one that seeks Father and
walks paths that are straight.
One that is loyal and obedient,
has faith and is humble,
To our Father and Savior,
who are there when we stumble.
For years now I’ve done
my utmost to serve,
our Father and Christ
in spreading the word.
The Kingdom Message of Salvation
this was their message,
I’ve dreamt the dreams
and felt the presage.
So if I should be raptured
before you wake,
do not curse our Creator
but be humble instead,
for it was Her son who
and for your sins that he bled,
and it’s his message to you
that he’s asked us to spread.
I’ve served, I’ve cried,
I’ve been turned inside out,
from the rooftops at times
I’ve wanted to shout,
“You’re deceived! Deceived!
Your eternal lives are at stake!”
But how could you see,
if you’re not awake?
Awake, awake,
wake up sleepy head,
open your eyes to reality
and get out of bed.
Be ready and prepared
for our Lord is coming
and will gather his sheep,
Be awake, awake,
and not sound asleep.
For if I should be raptured
before you wake,
I’ll be praying for the LORD
your soul to take,
for your eyes to be opened,
your heart to be good
and that Her will be done,
just as it should.
Galatians 4:9 "But now, since you know God, or rather have become known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and bankrupt elemental forces? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?"
Definition of Bankrupt:
bankrupt >adjective 1 declared in law unable to pay one's debts. 2 completely lacking in a particular good quality or value: morally bankrupt. >noun a person legally declared as bankrupt. >verb reduce to a bankrupt state.
In 2005, the Cherubic Order of Holy Angels revealed to this ministry via a symbolic vision and accompanying message that global monetary collapse was on the horizon.
Ezekiel 7:19 “They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will seem like something filthy. Their silver and gold will be unable to save them in the day of the Lord’s wrath. They will not satisfy their appetites or fill their stomachs, for these were the stumbling blocks that brought about their iniquity.”
Zephaniah 1:18 “Their silver and their gold will not be able to rescue them on the day of the Lord’s wrath. The whole earth will be consumed by the fire of His jealousy. For He will make a complete, yes, a horrifying end of all the inhabitants of the earth.”
The following quote is from the book Chosen: End Times Truths Revealed and is part of the message that was revealed: “The Cherubs are planning to bring about this prophecy in the near future. The process has already begun… It is a bleak outlook to say the least. Everyone had better get stocked up on canned goods rations and plenty of water. If you have an underground shelter, you’ll need to fix the surface to where it’s not easily found. Harder times are ahead. By the time the first Rapture occurs, you’re going to be thinking that it wasn’t going to happen in time.” (2005)
We are now, in 2009, seeing this prophecy coming into full fruition. Splashed across every news source in this day and time are reports of the economy both locally in the U.S. and worldwide. For many, this truth has hit home as they struggle to provide shelter, food and clothing for themselves and their families. For others, it has yet to rear its ugly head in their own personal lives, but they are well aware of the seriousness of the situation.
In the Scriptures, what it means to be morally bankrupt is described to us at 2 Timothy 3:1-5 “But know this: difficult times will come in the last days. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, 4 traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to the form of religion but denying its power.”
Just as in the Word is both literal and symbolic in meanings; all things in Father Yahweh’s plan also have dual meanings. The duality of Father’s plan, between global monetary collapse and the morally bankrupt occurs here. What most of mankind is unaware of, is the greater debt owed to our Creator Yahweh; that was paid by Christ and how only those in Christ of true faith are declared legally solvent in Yahweh’s eyes. For as the world nears literal bankruptcy, most of the world remains morally bankrupt.
Between what is literally occurring and symbolically occurring and what has now been explained, it should become more obvious to you that Father’s plan is unfolding just as She said that it would. Nothing can be done to stop it, though Dawn Lucifer Satan the Devil continues to work around the clock in vain to halt it. These things must and will take place, as Christ’s Kingdom is on the Horizon and Father will prevail over Her enemies.
Isaiah 42:13 "The LORD advances like a warrior; He stirs up His zeal like a soldier. He shouts, He roars aloud, He prevails over His enemies."
Galatians 5:13 For you are called to freedom, brothers; only don't use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love.
The definition of to serve means, to be in the service of; work for; to be useful or of service to; help; to render active service to; to render obedience or homage to; to perform the duties of; to contribute to; promote…and many other things, but I’ve mentioned these few definitions because they best apply to what serving through love means.
For some time now I’ve pondered service to Father and its importance and its need as well. Father truly doesn’t “need” servants. She is the Almighty God, the maker of Heaven and Earth. Truly, She needs none of us because She is complete all on Her own.
So why then, would She ask that we serve Her? Well if you actually stop and think about it, it’s really quite simple.
When you love someone, whether it be a husband or wife, parent, child or friend… would you not do anything for them (within reason of course) if they asked? And on special occasions, do we not look for all sorts of ways in which to tell them or show them that we love them? And when you really love someone, with all your heart, do we not let a day go by without telling them?
Of all of life's complexities that we routinely face, love is the most complex and at the same time it’s the one thing that is so deeply seeded within us that not one of us wishes to live without it. It is the subject of letters, novels, art, photography, clothing, poetry, songs, advertising, candy, perfume, game shows, board games, cards, movies, radio and TV shows and spoken of amongst ourselves on a daily basis. We are all at the beginning of our lives in need of it and for our entire lives in search of it, finding it, losing it and falling in and out of it. Love can be as abundant as it can be elusive.
I’m sure that it’s different for everyone, but this is how my love is for Father. It is such that in each passing day, I want to serve Her, by obeying Her commands and remaining faithful to Her.
Joshua 22:5 Only carefully obey the command and instruction that Moses the LORD's servant gave you: to love the LORD your God, walk in all His ways, keep His commands, remain faithful to Him, and serve Him with all your heart and all your soul."
If you take the above scripture you’ll see that Father does not ask to be served first; She asks to be loved first. We are not commanded to love Her, but more to recognize the love that is already there for Her in our hearts and to give the love She first showed us back to Her via our actions – by keeping Her commands and remaining faithful to Her. You see the love IS there already, because She created us and we are all a part of Her. The only way it wouldn’t be there is if you were to rid yourself of it intentionally via the cultivation of a bad heart. Love can be squelched, but it can also flourish and when you truly come to understand Father, or even to just begin to know Her and Her ways, that’s when the love begins to fully bloom.
Every time I think of this, it strikes me as to how we truly, truly are created in Her image. She wishes nothing from us that we don’t wish of one another. To love and be loved and for those we love to be faithful to us.
Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you showed for His name when you served the saints—and you continue to serve them.
So when we serve Her, we serve Her out of love in the same way that we serve anyone we love… because we want to and because in return for all that She’s given us, it’s the very least we can do. And because it brings us more in union with Her and because to be pleasing to Her makes Her happy and in turn makes us happy. And also because to see Her will come into fruition and to have been asked to have played a small part in it all, is an honor and an act of love in itself considering Father Yahweh needs none of us to begin with, but instead wishes that Her children have a part in seeing that Her will is done.
I readily admit that I’ve only touched the very tip of the iceberg here, in explaining all the ways and reasons, ins and outs about serving through love, but I’ve shared my thoughts and what I know right now. The thing about Father is that She reveals Herself slowly to those who seek to know Her, and while this is my take on things today, tomorrow or the next day or even next month it could be completely different depending on what new understanding or wisdom Her Holy Spirit has so generously revealed to me. And in all honesty, this is also one of those few and far between times in which the English language seems to lack the ability in helping me to relay to all of you what I feel so deeply in my heart.
All I know is that coming to know Father in my service to Her has been the most amazing journey of my life so far and I know that there is still Eternity ahead in which to grow to learn and understand and love Her even more. But right now as things stand, I think what I love best about Father is that what you see is what you get. She doesn’t play any games. She’s fair and truthful, patient, compassionate and extremely forgiving. She never goes back on Her word and She holds nothing back. She is orderly, creative, and She tells it how it is and how it’ll be done yet at the same time patiently allows you figure things out for yourself. But and over and above all that and so many other things that have gone unmentioned for the sake of time and space, She is love. And because She is love, You know that Her love is true and She would literally rope the moon for you (and She is the only being in creation that actually could!) if it wouldn’t upset the plan set in place for the heavens and cause the earth off its axel and possibly send all of creation into chaos. Did I also mention that She’s incredibly intelligent? How couldn’t you love Her? I mean truly… why wouldn’t you want to serve someone so absolutely wonderful in so many ways?
Now take a look at the scripture at the beginning, Galatians 5:13. Because Father IS Love, it paints an interesting picture. It says to serve one another through love. In other words, Father is love. Love Father, and serve one another through Her love and through loving Her; love one another and in loving one another, you serve Father and in serving Father you are loved.
It’s deep, I know…and yet so amazing. That’s Father for you. You’ve just got to love Her.
Exodus 32:11 “But Moses interceded with the LORD his God: "LORD, why does Your anger burn against Your people You brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and a strong hand?”
In part articles, my fellow ministers and I have focused a lot about End Times and the Tribulation, Rapture and Armageddon. Our ministry has really been a lot about sounding a warning to the masses. First, with the Kingdom Message of Salvation so that Christ’s extended flock may prepare their hearts and then with the message that the Tribulation had begun so that they might prepare their minds for what we would all soon face and experience firsthand.
For nearly four years the world has experienced an increase in both the number of natural disasters that have occurred as well as their severity increasing. Now that so many are beginning to experience hardships due to the economic collapses occurring in our country and around the world, which have caused the loss of jobs and homes and many to go hungry and without medical attention and has caused pain and suffering in many different ways for many different reasons, some are beginning to wonder why.
Recently I was asked, “I just don’t understand why, if God and His son love me SO much, why, why, why make me suffer? It doesn’t bring me closer to Him, but makes me question my faith! And believe me; I don’t want to do that! It doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t see it as love, but as punishment.”
This is not an easy question to answer, because in reality there are many reasons, explanations and possibilities depending on the person asking the question. And it’s also not easy as a minister, who, while having compassion and empathy for those who are suffering, must also say to them in all truthfulness that, “Yes, God is angry.”
Aside from being truthful, it is also our responsibility to help Christ’s extended flock to gain knowledge, understanding and wisdom. And in order to gain knowledge as to what we are all experiencing in these End Times, the first thing to do is to look into what the word Tribulation means because while many of us are aware of the word as spoken of in the scriptures, it helps to actually read the definition so that we might apply its meaning to what we’re currently experiencing and come to a better and more complete understanding.
So what does the word tribulation really mean? It’s defined as being a great affliction, trial, or distress; suffering. But what you may not know is that it’s also defined as an experience that tests one’s endurance, patience or faith.
In learning the definition of the word tribulation, we discover that Father forewarned us all of what we would experience; a period of great affliction, distress and suffering. And that these things would also test our endurance, patience and faith.
Many people feel they are good people of good character and that perhaps they don’t deserve the pain or suffering, but it is important to realize that it’s not by our own standards that we are judged but by Father's.
So what is character? Character is defined as the features and traits that form the individual nature of a person, their moral or ethical quality, reputation, etc.
The building character can mean many things for many people. One sure thing that experiencing any sort of tribulation does, is that it builds character and based on how the person approaches that tribulation or does in response to the tribulation will determine the type of character that is built up within them. It can be either good or bad depending on the choices that are made by the individual.
For instance, a person who is faced with a situation in which they do not have the money with which to pay their rent might choose to turn to Father in prayer or, they might choose to turn their back on Father out of anger and commit an illegal act in which to gain the money they need.
Because our sinfulness is innate, there is always room in all of us for the building of good character. We are, none of us, worthy of the undeserved kindness that has been bestowed upon us. Building character can mean endurance, patience, understanding, obedience, compassion or strength. And it can even mean learning to be surrender and be humble. There are many, many qualities that we are all lacking in and that different tests, trials or tribulations may teach us.
Romans 5:4 “endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. “
So the answer is, yes, Father is angry but Father and Christ DO love us as well, and if you’ve ever loved anyone and been angry with them at the same time, then you know that it is absolutely possible to feel both emotions at the same time.
However, we must not allow the pain or suffering to cause us to question our faith, but instead to build our faith. We must endure because we are all tested in different ways, but we must remain strong and steadfast and obedient to Father's will. This too has also been illustrated in the scriptures as examples for us of Father’s chosen one’s who while they served Father faithfully, also experienced pain and suffering. They too were tested and while some failed, others endured.
Luke 21:19 “By your endurance gain your lives.”
Currently we are witnessing Father making Herself known to mankind through the effects of the Tribulation that is upon us, and over time more and more will question their faith and others will even curse Father for the judgment that is upon us. This is all a part of the culling process and must occur and as it must occur, we must endure so that we may gain our lives.
If at any point it feels that it’s too much, stop and consider this: Christ was of perfect character and without sin, and yet he suffered… for us.
Father does not wish that any of Her children should suffer or die - but these things must come to pass. So please, hold on tightly to your faith and do not let go no matter what. Continue to endure and guard your heart too. I cannot stress enough how important this is in this day and age.
Proverbs 4:23 “Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life.”
Our prayers continue to be with you all, in the name of our loving savior Christ Jesus, Amen.
