We are in tremendously shakeable and even perilous times if we read the headlines, see the breadlines, and watch the real signs, spoken by Jesus in the last days.

So for this reason we will take a few moments to recognize some of the ingredients of love. In 1st Cor <mip://0434a088/default.html#>  13 there are words even the world hears spoken in weddings, which contain an incredible insight that often goes unnoticed because of the weight of the true meanings.

I have been pressing in to hear the "True" reasons for the enormous shifts in America's wealth transfer and "asking " for truth in the inward parts. It was then, that I heard the Lord whisper "Do you want to know why you're here?" and as I leaned closer to hear, I heard the Lord say to read " Ecclesiastes 7:18!"  It is so easy to ascribe a "Hard " word to others and not apply them first to ourselves.  So I began to lean forward in my own life of accountability and "seek"deeper truth!  I recently "asked" the Lord to Judge" me" knowing It could unravel my life, crush all hopes of advancing swiftly and wreck the places we build in the name of the Lord..but I also know "Him" and realized He is merciful and kind and is TRUTH when we can't see truth...so I asked!

Immediately I heard Him ask "Are you sure you want me to judge you?" This brought an immediate tremble to my heart and as I gasped, I replied "YES"! When asking for truth we cannot be selective in our hearing as we are called to lead others, we must be full of courage and follow closely if we are to emulate Jesus in a righteous manner. Ecclesiastes 7:18 says:It is good if you grasp this, and also not remove your hand from the other; For he who fears God will escape them all. Grasp what?

For this, we must read above in order to fully grasp the meaning " The Preacher" speaks. In vs. 15 Solomon says "I have seen everything in my days of vanity: There is a just man who perishes in his righteousness, and a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness." vs. 16 "Do not be overly righteous nor be overly wise: Why should you destroy yourself?" vs.17 "Do not be overly wicked,nor be foolish; why should you die before your time?" vs,18 "It is good if you grasp this, and also not remove your hand from the other; For he who fears God will escape them all. So, we are to protect ourselves from becoming overly wise overly wicked and foolish and to begin to fear God in all areas of our lives." vs.19 "Wisdom strengthens the wise more than ten rulers of the city."

 

There is a fanatical religion where we run in zeal judging everything in our path and there is a self righteousness that also brings upon us a judgment and even an early death if we proceed into physical fighting to "push"our beliefs upon another person or in this case another Nation. Perhaps we are being judged by God, as He stated He would dispatch His messenger Angels to separate the wheat from the tares, the obedient from the disobedient, the wise from the foolish, the sheep from the goats and so on.

I believe that allowing the Lord to judge us swiftly now, will in turn position us quickly for the swiftest wealth transfer the world has ever known, especially if we discern the "TRUE " reason for it is the Harvest of souls and the Nations we have cried out for in the spirit.  Matthew 25:31 says "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory; Vs 32 "All the nations will be gathered before Him and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides His sheep from the goats.  Vs 33 "And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left."  Vs 34 "Then the king will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;" Vs 35 "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in." This is undefiled religion to take care of the widow and the orphan.  It's not a self-righteousness, sinister, religious bigotry found throughout many places of the world. This is a time for self examination.  

Jesus calls the one who is afraid and hides their talents in the ground, both a "wicked and lazy servant," stating "You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gathered where I have not scattered seed, "So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own, with interest!"  Vs 28 "Therefore, take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents."  Vs 29 "For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but for him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away."  To have abundance literally means in the Greek "periseuo <mip://0434a088/default.html#> " #4052; to superabound <mip://0434a088/default.html#> , have in excess, greatly surpass, excel.  The word shows the generosity of God's grace, giving assurance that faithful use of one's talents and gifts sets the stage for one's own advancement.  God says in Vs 30 that he would cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness.  There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.  Outer darkness is a commonly used Jewish imagery for the place of eternal judgment for wicked ones.   That judgment is known in the Greek as "krisis <mip://0434a088/default.html#> " #2920; compare "crisis".  This carries the idea of a separating, the process of distinguishing and selecting, making a decision.  The New Testament uses the word primarily in a forensic sense, especially of the divine judgment.  Time is heading for the event when all sin will be confronted, dealt with, and judged accordingly.  But because of the atoning work of Jesus Christ, true believers will stand out as uncondemned <mip://0434a088/default.html#> .  In order for us to truly "stand out" to the world as true Christians, we must allow God to deal with the inner thoughts of our hearts in both motives and deeds.  While it may not be pleasant to go through this fire, it is absolutely glorious to come out of it.  

Once more, we increase in the fire, remembering that 3 Hebrew boys went into the fiery furnace which was turned up 7 times hotter only to see a 4th man revealed standing with them!  The number 4 is symbolic of a separation of both light from darkness.  In Gen 1:14 "Then God said, 'Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons and for days and years;" vs 15 "And let them be for lights in the firmament in the heavens to give light on the earth; and so it was."  Vs 16 "Then God made two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night.  He made the stars also."  Vs 17 "God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth; Vs 18 "And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness.  And God saw that it was good."  Vs 19 "So the evening and the morning were the fourth day." Vs 20 "Then God said, 'Let the waters abound with "an abundance" of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens."  Notice that when God separated darkness from light He brought forth "an abundance!"  In this case, living creatures as well as creatures flying across the face of the firmament of the heavens.  When God begins to bring forth a crisis, it is for the purpose of separating and distinguishing and selecting and making right decisions.  

This is what God is doing at the very core of the church in the hearts of its leaders and we should be welcoming this crisis in America as a true point of change.  Late in 2006, God spoke to me that there was a change coming upon the earth in 2009 that  "they" would take credit for yet had nothing to do with a political party or a new leader.  God reiterated that He was answering the prayers of our presidents, from George to George (from George Washington to George Bush)  It's interesting to note that George means "farmer" and that God is now coming to America to separate.  He is in the process of distinguishing and selecting and making a decision for the fate of America.  We know judgment begins in the house of God and we know that America is being shaken and we know that we are on the brink of revival such as the world has never known.  

In 1 Cor <mip://0434a088/default.html#>  13 vs 7 Paul tells us that 'love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.'   Vs 8 "Love never fails.  But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away."  So we see that love is eternal and gifts are temporal.  When Paul tells us that "Love endures all things" the word 'endures' (hupomeno <mip://0434a088/default.html#>  #5278) means to hold ones ground in conflict, bear up against adversity, hold out under stress, stand firm, persevere under pressure, wait calmly and courageously.  It is not passive resignation to fate and mere patience, but the active, energetic resistance to defeat that allows calm and brave endurance.  In Matthew 24:13 "But he who 'endures' to the end shall be saved."  Vs 14 "And "this" gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come.  In Rev 15:5 "After these things I looked and behold the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened."  Testimony = martyrology <mip://0434a088/default.html#>   It is the proof, evidence, witness, proclamation of personal experience.  The tabernacle which evidences God's presence and the testimony to the covenant between Him and His people.  Literally it means 'the tent of witness.'  In Ex 4
