"...but as the days of Noah were, so
shall also the coming of the Son of Man be..." Matthew 24:37
Hear What The Spirit Saith Unto The Church
The
disciples of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, had come unto Him to ask what
the sign of His second coming would be. His answer was that it would be as it
was during the time of Sodom and Gomorrah just prior to the flood. As He says in
vs. 38, just as they were partying and drinking, getting married and divorced,
right up until the day Noah entered the ark, so would it be at the end. In vs.
39 it says they did not know until after the flood came and took them all away,
and it will be the same at His second coming.
In other words, as they were bobbing about in the water, knowing they were
going to drown at any moment and stand in judgment, it was only then they
remembered and gave thought to the Word of the Lord and to the words that the
righteous preacher Noah had been speaking unto them. It was, of course, too
late. For at that point in time their eternity in hell was sealed. Jesus
goes on to say in the 24th chapter of Matthew, vs. 39-41, "there shall be two
people in one place. One shall be taken and the other left." He ends this
point of reference with this most powerful scripture, as He speaks to each one
of us and gives this very firm, absolute word, "Watch, therefore, for you
know not at what hour your Lord doth come."
Now, let us take a moment to look back at the generation of Sodom and
Gomorrah to see what life was like. At this time people felt as though they had
a right to get a divorce anytime they felt like it. They could and did get
divorced simply because they decided their wife's personality was no longer
pleasing to them or because they had found a younger, prettier wife. They lived
in a time of no absolutes. It was a "do whatever you feel like doing" time, (or
as we say today, if it feels good, do it,) which included but was not limited to
sexual immorality, homosexuality, lesbianism and drunken orgies.
Open your eyes and look around. You will be forced to agree with me that we
are living in an age where everyone from the President on down believes they
have a right to an alternative lifestyle, private immoral affairs, and
homosexual and lesbian behavior which is rampant. Truth, honesty and commitment
are almost unheard of and decency has definitely fallen by the wayside. People
don't get married anymore, they just live together until they get tired of each
other and rather than work out their problems like mature, responsible adults,
they just split and find someone else to shack up with.
There is little or no thought of God, His judgments, and the absolute
consequences of disobeying Him.
All that needs to be fulfilled before the Lord comes back to get His people
has been fulfilled. I cannot think of anything worse than to realize that the
rapture has happened, people are gone, and you are still here. For the Word of
the Lord says that if you were to put together Adolph Hitler, Genghis Khan and
Attila the Hun, it would not be as bad of a time as that which is about to come
upon this earth in the next 7 years. It will be a time of torture, misery and
hell on earth which will culminate in the Great White Throne of Judgment. For
those who have not heard what the Spirit has said unto the church in these last
days will be cast into the horrors of Hell for all eternity.
After 25 years in the counseling room, lately, almost everyone who comes in
is on the verge of divorce, is involved in sexual immorality, or has been led
astray into homosexuality or lesbianism. A great many men and women of God who
stand behind our pulpits today are presently involved in fornication, adultery,
incest, and all manner of evil. We even ordain homosexuals to serve in God's
Holy ministry. The rate of divorce in the church now equals and, in fact, is
beginning to exceed the rate of divorce in the world.
I'm sure you have heard it said a thousand times that God made Adam and Eve,
not Adam and Steve. In the book of Genesis after each day of creation, God said,
"it is good," until the day when He created man and then He said, "it
is NOT good-for man to be alone." So out of the body of the man God created
a woman. The Bible says He created woman to be a helpmate, for out of all of
God's creations, she was the only one given the power of intelligent thought,
speech, beauty, femininity, grace, mercy, and the chance to become a child of
His. Notice, if you will, that God did not create another man to live with Adam
and be his helpmate, nor did He create two women, but only one. For Jesus said,
"know ye not that in the beginning God created them male and female."
One female for one male.
I am brokenhearted over all of the times, (and there have been so many,) that
I have heard from women in our counseling room, women who have taken the
endowments that God has given them for their husbands - their softness, beauty,
femininity, ability to comfort, and charms - and demonically and sinfully given
them to another who was not their husband, that they were now in deep trouble.
The reason is always the same, "I thought it would make me feel better about
myself." To be wanted and needed. To be the center of attention. Was this not
the same lie that Eve bought in the Garden of Eden? They have never
realized the price of "feeling better" about themselves would be their marriage,
their children, their walk with God, their peace and joy, and they would wind up
old and alone with no one to love or care for them. And they all discovered, all
of Satan's lies notwithstanding, that it made them feel worse, a million times
worse. It brought a hurt and a pain they could not comprehend to their husbands,
their children, their families, and so very few have ever been able to be
reconciled and built back up in the power of the Lord.
There is a spirit in the church which is gaining more power by the day. It is
called luring. It is for the person to stand out, to be noticed, to draw others
unto themselves in an unholy manner. In all honesty, almost 100% of it starts
out with no intention of any sexual immorality whatsoever, but I can guarantee
you brothers and sisters, that is where it will end up. I am so tired of seeing
broken marriages and children who are bitter and unforgiving, so much so they
never return to the church but instead go the way of the gangs with sex and
drugs and booze. Truly we are living in the Sodom and Gomorrah of today.
This spirit of luring is easily identifiable. My sisters, please look at the
way you dress and your mannerisms. Your necklines are so low that when you come
to kneel before God's Holy alter, any decent man of God has to look away. Your
clothing fits so tightly nothing could be left to imagination. Your skirts are
too short and your jewelry, make-up, and hairdos are all intended to attract
attention to yourself. From whom? Surely not your own husbands, and certainly
not God. Brothers, what about those tight designer jeans and the shirts
unbuttoned to the point where all three of your chest hairs are showing? Who are
you trying to impress? Your wives? I doubt it.
Everyone has a chance right now to hear what the Spirit is saying to the
church, to listen to the conviction of the Lord, and repent of your ungodly
ways, to renounce this work of darkness before it is too late. For we are not
unaware of the schemes and snares of the enemy of our souls. Allow this to be
your time for the visitation of the Holy Spirit and repent - for the Kingdom of
God is at hand.
Approximately 2 years ago I was ministering in Hawaii when the Lord gave me a
vision and a word concerning events to come in the three to five years
following. That vision was so horrifying I can still see the bodies of people
who were drowned in a great tidal wave on one of the Asian islands, so many
bodies they could not even pick them all up. Entire villages were
destroyed. There were wars and internal conflicts in many, many countries,
almost a new one every day. There were economic crisis that would destroy cities
and even whole countries, and there were devastating weather conditions and
earthquakes, one after another, in places where you would not expect to see
them. We wrote this all out in tract form and it is available to anyone who
should ask for one, free of charge. I can tell you that 90% of the things the
Lord showed me and told me have already come to pass.
I mention this only that you might fully realize the lateness of the hour,
for at that time the Lord also spoke and said that multitudes had not heard the
alarm call and knew not that the end was at hand. His admonition to the church
was, "PREPARE YOURSELVES, for know that I come quickly." Please do not be
the one left standing alone in the field because you bought the lie of the devil
in this hour. We are God's watchmen, called to sound the alarm, to warn the
people. But the people must hear and respond to the message lest they also seal
their fate and find out too late they will spend an eternity in hell with no
hope.
Remember, Jesus is the Word of God. The Greek is logos, which means "unspoken
thought." The Bible says that the Word was made manifest among us. This Word
came alive, (meaning in the Greek, knowledge,) but the world and darkness
received Him not. The word "darkness" in the Greek is ignorance. Paul, using the
same word says, "I would not have you ignorant my brothers..." Be not
ignorant or in darkness but rather stand in the light of the Father, which is
made manifest in the Word. Thus, be ye not hearers of the Word only, but doers
also. Know that He (the Word) cannot lie or be unfaithful to Himself.
God is faithful and His Word will always come to pass and do that which He
has sent it forth to do. Many of you are being convicted by the Holy Spirit
regarding the darkness, or ignorance in which you are living right now. This is
your time to repent, to turn from the wide, easy path that leads to Hell and to
find and walk that narrow highway that leads to life everlasting with our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ, and truly there be few that find it. I assure you, if
you cannot do it while it is yet day and the light shines, you will not be able
to do it when night comes and darkness covers the land.
My brothers and sisters, know this. The night is coming soon when no man can
work. Now is the hour to make your calling and election and your holiness sure,
for without holiness, no one shall see the Lord. This is your hour! I do not
know how to put it any plainer.
There are many in this hour that God desires to anoint that they might go
forth in the power of His Spirit and minister the gospel. And unto you I would
say, "Hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God and allow the Holy Spirit to
lead you into the arms of Jesus. Put away the things of this world; that which
is pleasing to the eye and comfortable to the flesh, and give God your
reasonable service, which is to lay your body on the alter as a living
sacrifice." For my strongest prayer is that you are not one that is left behind
to spend eternity in Hell with these very words of mine echoing in your ears;
crying out "why did I not listen? Why did I not turn while I yet had the
chance?"
I am and hope to remain, your brother in Christ.
