6/04 - From God the Father - A Letter Given to Timothy, For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

Oh Timothy, listen as I speak. The time has now come for you to put away your fear, and trample out all things immoral in you, and become the man I want you to be, for the time draws hence. In seven years, I send My Son to pluck from the earth all those both dead and still living who belong to Me...the rest left to fall under My judgment. Many will perish...do not be sad. For in My judgments, they will know I am God, and in this be saved, including everyone for which you and your wife pray daily.

The voice you hear is both Mine and My Son's through the Holy Spirit. The conversations you have throughout the day, of comfort, encouragement and wisdom, are that of My Son. The voice you hear, and only you, as did Moses and the prophets hear and no one else, is My voice. I speak to you through the Holy Spirit. Without the Spirit, you would not be able to hear, lest your ears go deaf and your body break, for strong is your Lord God Almighty.

Your wife need not hear Me, for you must repeat all I give you, both in mind and that of your dreams. But rather, tell her to trust her insight, that innermost feeling of what is right, for it comes directly from Me and is given her by My Son. My Son is indeed in the earth and with you and yours.

Do not worry about your son, he is of the most gentle heart. I will keep him from evil as you have asked of Me.

Charts and Graphs of the Signs and Markers of the End of the Age

I created a flickr photostream to house and display charts and graphs of the markers and signs indicating the end of the age. Please send me other graphics if you find some to be added to my stream.

Thanks,
Trent

Still looking for the signs or haven't we seen enough?

Jesus is NOT the answer. I don't care how many bumper-stickers say otherwise.
Jesus IS the WAY. Let me explain the difference.

For the sake of discussion, I asked my sister-in-law (who is from Spain) to translate a sentence for me from English into Spanish. Here is her answer: "Spanish spanish spanish-spanish, spanish spanish spanish spanish spanish spanish."

She made spanish into the ANSWER of her translation, instead of the WAY of her translation.

(again for the sake of discussion) I asked a friend mathematician to handle these three problems. Here is his answer: "3X2 = mathematics ... 5 / 4 = mathematics ... 185 - 667 = mathematics."

He was about as helpful as my sister-in-law, don't you think? See the chaos that can happen when someone mistakes the WAY for the ANSWER?

In the first case Spanish was the WAY she was supposed to derive the answer, and in the second example mathematics is the WAY that he was going to handle the questions ... but they inserted the WAY AS the answer.

This is absurd, no? And it is just as absurd to say that Jesus is the ANSWER, when He is the WAY.

The ANSWER always is concerned with "what" ... but it is a far greater thing to know the WAY, because every WAY is concerned with "HOW." If you know HOW, or then you have hope no matter what unforeseen thing comes against you.

Jesus is the HOW to handle the unforeseen things.

Just think about knowing HOW to speak Spanish opens up infinite ways to communicate something. Just think about knowing HOW to use mathematics can make limitless questions (not just the ones that you have memorized) answerable. Jesus, likewise, is the WAY, and we thus know HOW to live.

Creation's ultimate purpose is to glorify God. Jesus is the WAY.for me, a part of the creation, to glorify God. Without the WAY, then I am doomed to fall short of the glory of God. I cannot glorify God on my own, apart from Him I can do absolutely NOTHING, but continue in slavery to sin.

The WAY is Jesus. He is HOW.

I may never know what I should have done in the past, but I know HOW I should have done it ... The Way, before, was Jesus. I should have exchanged my inabilities for His ability.

I may never know what I should do tomorrow, but when I get there ... the highest calling for me is that Jesus be the WAY, the actual HOW, it gets done ... not by my might, nor by my power, but by His Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord Jesus.

And as for right NOW, I won't know the answer for what I should do to glorify God, but if I find the WAY, Jesus, then He will supply the answer, even in this very moment.

To every thing that we are so strong as to come up with the answer, we consider that Jesus is irrelevant. We say that we can handle this one, and we call on Him later, if we need Him. Why? We skip the Way. Thus, the answer that we come up with on our own is a guess in the dark. Clearly we have lost our way, without Jesus. And without Jesus, we only think that we know the answer, but we don't.

So, I say that for as many things that I think that I know HOW to handle, it is exactly those things of which I have yet to repent. Why? Because Jesus is the WAY ... He deals with HOW. And by His Spirit, all things are possible.

9/30/05 - From Our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, Given to Timothy - A Letter For All Those Given and Received in Marriage and For Those Who Would Hear and Understand

Beloved, all My children given in marriage in My name, love one another and wash each other's feet. I gave up everything unto death, so you could all become My bride, My church. So come and partake of that which I offer you, and know Me...then will you come to love Me. And to love Me is to love the Father who sent Me, for I have asked for your hand in marriage, and the Father has given you to Me. I have paid the bride-price, built a great and beautiful house for you...come and be where I am, forever united as one in love for the Father's joy. Submit in all things I ask of you, and your joy will be fulfilled. The union you seek is already here and dwells within you. Let our love grow until I return...

The trumpet will sound....all will be gathered and given gowns of white.

Behold the glorious wedding party,
       all seated before the Father in the tabernacle of Heaven, for His glory.

Let us be joined together, no longer separated...
       all, as one in Christ, in His Kingdom...life without end.

                                                   Amen.

Desolations Are Determined and Great Want for My Beloved Children

8/18/06 - From God the Father - A Letter Given to Timothy, For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

To all My beloved little flocks, seated firmly at My Right Hand, soon gathered into His arms.

Great times of tribulation are coming and shall surely reach around the world, even into your own lives. Be strong, yea, be strong...I am with you to deliver you.

Great hurt is coming and great want, a dark and widening valley where the cliffs are sheer...and in the midst of it, the pit.

Parents, call out to your children...the vipers gather, the jackals have begun their attack. Little ones, I am with you...do not forsake Me. Call on Me in your time of need, which approaches very quickly. Do not be alarmed or overtaken, as an unarmed man in sudden travail by a band of thieves.

See, I have told you in advance. Rest easy, let not your hearts be troubled...I am with you to deliver you...rest easy, and know I AM THE LORD.

You shall behold the power of the Lord God Almighty.
My name shall resound in all the earth!

Behold, the heathen shall come to know God!
       He shall kneel...
       He shall bow his head...
       He shall humble himself before Me
              calling Me “Lord”.

And Gog and his army, and his evil covenant, shall be broken...
       yea, total destruction shall become of him and his princes!

God shall surely visit the earth. And I, even I, shall visit them in My wrath...a great recompense for the evil conceived of in the hearts of these men, who would destroy My own children and their land which I had given to their forefathers forever...The Lord has spoken!

The New Jerusalem = realm of God = Eternity / Eternal Life = The Mystery of God

The New Jerusalem descends intact (UNcreated,) having always been for it is God's dwelling, not man's ... and thus the sign or allegory is lost on materialistic minded interpreters.

The glory of the nations are brought into the City, but note that as that is revealed, there is no occupants of the City. There are streets of gold, but nobody walking upon them ... rather the City IS the people ... no man will walk upon these streets (if we follow the allegory) ... rather the men of the City ARE the street, themselves. ... even the individual bricks of the walls ... for John did see the names of the patriarchs on the actual bricks and structures.

Therefore we know that in the dwelling of God (New Jerusalem) it is us (His servants) that make up the place in which He dwells ... and it is right to say that He lives IN us on that day in complete fulfillment for we are that of which His dwelling is made ... the individual parts and places of the City, Itself.

Greater still is the mystery that is yet to be revealed than what was revealed to John in that allegory ... Yet to those that meditate and allow the Lord to teach them what the City means, a treasure of understanding can come ... for all of God's truths are simple and pure ... yet immeasurably deep and inexhaustible.

Why Witness?

_{by Trent - from Dec 2005}
What motivation do we have to witness? Should we set out to change anyone?

If you are ever compelled to say something, then say exactly that, by the Spirit, and with the words that He gave you to say.

If the Spirit tells you to instruct the dean of students of a seminary then march into their office and instruct them! If the Spirit tells you to hush while some ignoramus is begging you to tell them the gospel, then hush!

If the Spirit tells you to give everything that you own to somebody that is dripping with gold, then immediately give it away. If the Spirit tells you to withhold spare-change from someone who is dying of starvation then don't you give them a penny.

Start living according to the Spirit. Start walking by the Spirit, and abandon all of your thoughts and plans.

You think that everyone needs to know what you know? Well, that might be, but the need is not the call. Wait on the call, and when you do this you will be as a fisher of men. Stop deciding when to cast your net all day and hear one word from the Master ... and watch what happens, with such feeble effort applied to His specific call to action. Your boat will not be able to bring ashore all that will be accomplished in simple trusting obedience.

Right now all evangelical thrusts of mainstream Christianity have all lost their way. They are all about how man can be instructed by their carnal mind, hoping and planning to bring in a harvest through calculated resource management and supervision. That is mere training on how to walk according to the flesh, not according to the Spirit. Lets forever repent of any lonely un-holy ambitions and acts of devotion that have no origination from the Spirit. That stuff is just sinning and calling it good. It is wood, hay and stubble, and just exhausting ourself in the meantime with nothing to show for it.

I witness to reality on this blog, but only because it would be more exhausting to hold it within. God has placed this song in my heart, and I am revealing this true-condition as I speak. I don't care it if moves one person closer to God. I don't care if it makes some people go to war with God. What you do with it is your own business. There isn't anything "in it" for me one-way-or-the-other. My satisfaction comes just be getting it off my chest and the relief does not depend on your response.

By the Spirit, I know about and witness to a reality that is revealed to me. Do with it, however you want to. Whether you "amen" or scoff at it, I only want your true condition to be revealed. If nothing else, I only encourage that we be true and lay aside all pretense, even the pretense of ignorance with regard to what has been revealed to us.

It is written:
"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who went out at daybreak to hire workers for his vineyard.
After agreeing with the workers on a wage of one denarius, [the standard daily wage,] he sent them off to his vineyard.
Then, on going out at about nine in the morning, he saw more men standing around in the market-square doing nothing,
and said to them, `You go to the vineyard too -- I'll pay you a fair wage.' So they went.
At noon, and again around three in the afternoon, he did the same thing.
About an hour before sundown, he went out, found still others standing around, and asked them, `Why have you been standing here all day, doing nothing?"
They said to him, `Because no one hired us.' `You too,' he told them, `go to the vineyard.'
"When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, `Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last ones hired and ending with the first.'
The workers who came an hour before sunset each received a denarius,
so the workers who came first expected they would get more, but each of them also received just a denarius.
On receiving their wages, they began grumbling to the farmer,
`These latecomers have worked only one hour, while we have borne the brunt of the day's work in the hot sun, yet you have put them on an equal footing with us!'
~matt 20

In other words ... they complained that these where 'special' enough to be 'equal.'
