Rapture or Not? (Part 1)
See also: “Rapture or Not? (Part 2)“
Good morning.
The Spirit of The LORD spoke this to me recently: “There is no rapture, secret or otherwise.
My Church is here and will be here through much tribulation. Did I not speak in the pages of My Word you must enter in through much tribulation?”
“Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the Faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.” Acts 14:22.
“Post it daughter once again. Just as I gave you in the pages of the book I had you write, it still holds true.”
This Word was written in Aug. 2012. Thus saith The LORD:
“Know ye not the mark is fast approaching My children? It is even here now, open your eyes.
What would it be? 666 is a number, the number of a man right? I explain further. Take My number, My children and you will never take the mark of the beast.
What would My number be? You should know this by now, but I will reveal. It is 777. Many of you have it stamped upon your foreheads already, some do not.
What am I talking about? Coming unto Me and getting in the fullness is whereof I speak. Know you not you can get so deep in Me you will never desire to turn back?
I speak unto ye My children, to quit worrying about the mark and make sure you have Mine embedded in your forehead and or hand.
The world has been deceived with the Rapture theory. The great tribulation is right now not out there somewhere, where you will be mysteriously air lifted up out of all trouble.
The Church world has it backwards, I speak unto you. Hear the sound of My Voice and live. You are entering a time of trouble like never before, but I will keep you through it.
I will not rapture My people out of trouble, but give you great joy in the midst. Quit fiddling around and wake up I say.
The wicked are going to get more wicked and the righteous are going to shine forth brighter in the gross darkness coming on the land.
You say later, I say now. There is a robe of righteousness I have My children wear. Am I talking about in heaven?
Wake up My people, I AM creating a New Heaven and a New Earth when you are ready.
Wake up I say again. Come alive in Me and take on the fullness or ye shall not be able to withstand My children. I AM visiting many with My chastening Hand yet with much love and tender mercies.
The mark cannot even be a temptation to the ones who have sold out to Me lock, stock and barrel as the world says. I have you, give it all.
Lay everything down at my feet. Children, you are trying to give Me part of you. Give your whole selves. Live, cry out and breathe only Me.
Then, when you are in that place, the transformation that takes place will amaze you. Are you wholly Mine or part Mine?
Wake up I say again. It is not too late yet, but I say get locked into your choice of the fullness or go backwards.
I don’t want your jewelry or a clothesline religion. I just want you My Children. Quit trying to figure it out.
I say again I want you. When you are consumed wholly on my altar of sacrifice, then you will gladly lay down anything that is hindering your growth. Fare ye well.
Look ye not at the storm clouds brewing across the land. What do I mean?
Yes, I have you to be aware of the times and to get your head out of the sand, but I want to visit you in a more perfect way. Lay it all down and the heights I take you to will be indescribable.
Let every beat of your heart feel My Embrace, My Touch and My Love.
Hear the sounds of the universe again I tell you. (In previous words in my book) I say again, hear the earth travailing and giving birth. I t is a new day dawning and all creation is crying out for the fullness. Be a part.
The rocks still cry out when men don’t praise me. Snuggle up to Me, My Children for I long to comfort you and give you joy everlasting. It is I that will see you through these great and terrible days. Fare ye well and love you I do.”
Back to the present Word, The Spirit of The LORD spoke to me:
“People, behold My Face and you will not look for another. The ‘Free Ride’ is what I AM speaking about to whisk you out of here on a flowery bed of ease and glory.
I AM coming back for a glorious Church, one without spot or wrinkle.”
Study Hebrews 11 — given at the very bottom.
“They, (the saints in the great cloud of witnesses) withstood many a test, many a trial.
There is a cost to being a Christian. There always has been, even unto today it still holds true.
The Millennium Age is before you already. It is soon and very soon!
Don’t you see My children, My beloved ones? I AM able to keep you in the storm. Right in the Midst of All Adversity you can Overcome!
The Great I AM that I AM writes this story. It is in the pages of My book, My Holy Word.”
To be continued…..
“Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Through Faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
By Faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
By Faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
But without Faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
By Faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by Faith.
By Faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
By Faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: for he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Through Faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him Faithful who had promised.
Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
These all died in Faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country, and truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
By Faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
By Faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
By Faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
By Faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
By Faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.
By Faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
By Faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Through Faith he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
By Faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
By Faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
By Faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: who through Faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: and others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
And these all, having obtained a good report through Faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.” Hebrews 11:1-40.
