The Lord impressed in my spirit to revisit a post I wrote on my sister (and original) blog, She’s Restored- with the same title. It brought tears to my eyes as I was taken back in time to a moment that forever changed me. I will not recount it, perhaps only to reference the human frailty. Instead, I will invite you to search for it and read if for yourself if you feel led. Today, however, I’m to speak about this, as a universal circumstance and lifestyle in these days known as post-normal.
Many years ago, The Lord through The Holy Spirit imparted these words both directly and through a series of messages He asked me to pen in my worn-out and ripped-at-the-seam composition notebook- also known as my most prized possession. For it is in actuality, Life. Words that I did not know in the Summer of 2014 would set the course of my present life and calling- as a watchman, as a ready remnant bride. This book carries countless messages, many personal, many universal- all eternal and words that have or will come to pass. Many of these messages I have shared on this blog, as He has led, and quite plainly was the inspiration for starting this blog- to prepare His bride, the church, for His return. The words He gave me and has promoted me to share, again are these:
“In an instant”
In an instant...everything will be different. I received this message on July 31, 2015 at 10:24pm. I invite you to read it.
Undoubtedly, we can say that over the past year we have seen and experienced everything being different and many would argue if it happened in an instant. I would say that it did. One day life was one way and the next something entirely different...first in one country the next in another the next in ours. Things continue to change, and be different than the “normal” life we once remember. I shared by His revelation that when we went into our country’s quarantine that “normal” was in fact obsolete. Although, I presently have not been keeping up with current events, I gather from those around me that things have not improved- not to mention The Spirit confirming this by His promptings and much He has already revealed to me personally over the years.
Was ‘2020’ the “Instant” He was referring to when He asked me to pen these words? I believe so. And still, there is a part of me that also knows- not entirely.
We are in the time of sorrows. The time when many will grieve and be beside themselves as the life they once knew is no longer. We could say that this has been going on certainly much longer than The Spirit of The Lord allowed me to see it. How many have been martyred for their faith globally? How many were enjoying a nice day when a 9.1 magnitude earthquake struck Japan in March of 2011, followed by the most devastating tsunami of all time that destroyed nearly 14 countries and took hundreds of thousands of lives? How many lives have been taken at the hands of violence? All these have been happening for some time...
But we are in a specific time frame now...the time when the age of grace will end. The time when the gentiles shall be fulfilled. The time before Christ returns for His spotless Bride. The time when The Tribulation will begin and The Antichrist will take his seat, deceiving many to ‘follow’ him. This is why He has called many of us out of the world and it’s systems to be refined for this hour, to assist in the preparation of the final harvest. Many are not ready, many are continuing to be deceived- tantalized by the spirit of fear that is running rampant on the earth right now. The perfect storm arrived in 2020, to bring humanity to its knees for a savior-a counterfeit savior...is getting ready to be revealed.
These sorrows and judgements unfolding are a merciful plea to soften hearts to turn to the True Messiah, Yeshua Hamashiac. He has been calling us to Himself. Be certain, not one of us is exempt from hearing His voice, should we humble ourselves in reverence to His majesty. This is it bride. This is it friend. The “final hour of repentance”. Those words The Holy Spirit gave me on November 26, 2016...nearly 5 years ago...how many days has He been pursuing us to turn our hearts to Him...how many more shall we have left before He returns.
This message is for all of us: those who are ready and yielding, those who have gone astray and those who want nothing to do with God. Why? Because at the exact moment all of us will be somewhere and we will look up and see our redemption drawing near. What a Great Day for many. What a Terrible Day for others. What a glorious day for all. In His mercy, He wishes that all reach repentance and none should perish.
In an instant, glory of His Spirit will fall upon His chosen. In an instant terror will grip the wayward and rebellious hearts.
“I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me; I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me. I said “ Here I am , here I am” to a nation that was not called by my name.” - Isaiah 65:1
He has been calling us...because He loves us. He knows what is befalling us and in His mercy He has pleaded for us to return to Him while there is still time.
Things continue to unfold. What is happening in the spirit realm is beyond our human comprehension. But in His mercy He allows us to perceive and know as He leads through His Holy Spirit.
Are you where He has called you to be? Would you go wherever He told you? Do you trust Him with your future, with your life? Are you fulfilling your purpose on this earth? Will you leave this physical realm with the gifts He gave you to bestow on His creation...or will you have fulfilled your calling? Do you know The Lord Adonai?
In an instant...life will be different...again...and again...until it’s forever changed.
Are we a ready bride?
