Brothers and sisters in Christ…

The Spirit of God has interrupted my planned posting and given me this morning the following solemn warning to write to the children of God.  He who has an ear…let him hear what the Spirit is saying to His churches and to each individual member of their congregations:

Beloved…I still hold to these words of warning from the Holy Spirit: “Brace yourself, and tell others that I have warned them to brace themselves, for they are about to see even more shocking things.  Ready or not, Nation, here it comes!  Brace yourself on My Word and on My promises, and do not rely on your own strength.  Do not stop bracing yourselves, and don’t look back; the storm will not pass until I, the Lord, stop the storm!  Those who refuse to get ready will be wanting in the end.”

1]  Destruction of America: A house divided against itself SHALL NOT STAND.

There were 5 chilling prophetic dreams posted by Pastor Dana Cornerstone that portrayed the utter destruction of America.  I have been writing about this nearly every day for 26 months already, and so the dreams are not really prophesy, they are a confirmation of the Holy Spirit of what is already continually unfolding and taking place!  I urge you to watch this one and consider them in light of how events have unfolded even to this very hour.

2]  Destruction of America 

Brethren…you need to watch this Pastor Dana prophetic dream concerning ominous events that will take place during December, and January…whether it refers to 2022-2023 or 2023-2024 I don’t know.  We see all of these things being foreshadowed even now in our everyday news…
Baltic Dry Index dead…no movement of goods, no global trade;
ships anchored in ports, nothing moving at sea;
people standing for hours on long food lines;
Nationwide power outages;
people being housed in shelters;
market crashes and yields lost;
Great sadness throughout the land; people seemed very dazed and very confused;
Depression as a creature, choking people, pushing them down;
God’s holy remnant shining like little beacons of light and hope in neighborhoods throughout the Nation:

God’s Eternal Plans, Purpose, and will for Humankind

Abba Father…Your reason for creating me was Love.

Your purpose for creating me was relationship…a Sacred Covenant relationship.

Adam’s sin of disobedience…an exercise of his free will to choose his own will.

God the Son…Christ Jesus…came into this world to restore God’s original purpose.

The eternal Worth and Power of the Blood of Jesus…

My Sacred Covenant relationship is uniquely with each Person of the Triune Godhead:

Spirit of the Living God…I have freely given myself to You to be Your bond-slave… wholly surrendered unto You, wholly given to be Your bond-slave all the days of my life in the physical realm on Earth.  
Blessed Jesus…I have freely given myself to You in divine marriage to be Your bride, the bride of Christ…all the days of my life here on this Earth, until death of my body brings me to be together with You in Heaven for all eternity.
Abba Father…I have freely given myself to You to be Your eternal child, to trust in You with an unwavering child-like trust; to depend upon You with an unreserved child-like dependence; to obey Your will, and accept Your will, with an unquestioning child-like obedience…all the days of my life.  
And so Christ Jesus’ steadfast love for me…so amazing, so Divine…constrains  me…it demands my soul, my life, my all…because I am convinced that One died for all, and therefore all died.  And since He died for all, I who now live joined together with Him in a Sacred Covenant relationship can no longer live for myself…but for Him who died for me and was raised again. [2 Cor 5:14-15] 

Abba Father…Your Love…so amazing, so Divine…demands my soul, my life, my all.  It is not a response of gratitude, as if that were a payment…something I owe in return for all You have done.  It is a response of love; I freely and voluntarily give You my soul, my life, my all out of love…as a response to Your love for me.  A servant does not freely choose to become a bond-slave out of gratitude to his master…as if it were something he owed.  No …he does so out of love for his master, because his Master first loved him.  He desires to remain with his master for life out of love…not out of gratitude.

Abba Father…Your Love for me…so amazing, so Divine, whereby You voluntarily did not spare Your Own Son for me;
Blessed Jesus…Your Love for me…so amazing, so Divine, whereby You voluntarily lay down Your life for me, even unto death;
Abba Father, Blessed Jesus…Your Love for me…so amazing, so Divine, constrains me to respond to Your Love by voluntarily laying down my life for You, even unto death…death to self, death to my self-life and self-interests.

Abba Father; Blessed Jesus: in light of the eternal magnitude of all You have Personally done for me, there is nothing You could ask of me…to be for You or to do for You… that would be unreasonable, or too much to ask!
Blessed Jesus…Your Love…so amazing, so Divine…beckons my soul, my life, my all.  My heart is inflamed with yearning to pour out my life for You…all that I am, all that I  have, all that I ever hope to be..all belongs to You.  Your steadfast love for me…so amazing, so Divine…constrains me…it constrains me to freely surrender unto You my soul, my life, my all…it beckons my soul, my life, my all…because I am convinced that You died on behalf of every soul who was ever brought into existence, and therefore every soul was included in, and participated together with You in, Your sacrificial death on behalf of Mankind.  And since You died on behalf of every soul, I who now live joined together with You as Your eternal bride…the bride of Christ, sealed with my solemn marriage vows to You in our Sacred Covenant relationship…can no longer live for myself…but wholly surrendered unto You Who died for me…on my behalf and in my place…and Who was raised again to life for my sake, that I may now share together with You Your resurrection life out from the dead.
Abba Father…my new life is hidden now together with You in Christ Jesus Your Son!  When Christ Jesus, Who is my life, appears once again on this Earth, then I also shall appear together with Him in glory. [2 Cor 5:14-15; Col 3:4]
“Come…all you who believe in Me, come to Me and drink; ever coming, ever drinking, continually satisfied.  The Water I give will become a fountain within you, welling up, flooding your soul with torrents of Living Water…ever flowing, continually overflowing, spilling over, touching even the lives of everyone with whom you come into contact.  Come…whoever is thirsty, let him come and take the free gift of the Water of Life.  Come…all you who are thirsty, come to the Waters; come, buy and eat, without money and without cost.” 

Abba Father…You did not spare Your Own Son; You freely gave Him up to a sacrificial death for us all.  You purchased me, by Yourself and for Yourself, with the precious and priceless Blood of Your Divine Son Jesus.  The eternal salvation of my soul cost You Your only begotten Son.
Lord Jesus…the eternal salvation of my soul cost You Your Own life.  The Eternal Son of God came into this world as the sacrificial Lamb of God.
Yet we for our part…the children of the Most High God…are only willing to pay the cost of a few small coins placed in the slot of God’s gumball machine, turn the knob, and out comes our eternal salvation.  We take our prize home and tuck it safely away in a drawer to remind us every now and again that we have now secured our goal of eternal salvation, and proceed to get on with enjoying our life in this world and the pleasures it has to offer.  Willing to spare our self-interests and self-life and our Earthly treasures for this pearl of great price?  NOT AT ALL!  Willing to voluntarily lay our self-life and self-interests on the altar of sacrifice…we are free to lay it down and free to take it up again…even unto death?  NOT AT ALL!  We refuse to consider that Your steadfast Love for me…constrains me to freely surrender my soul, my life, my all.
Lord Jesus, my heart is inflamed with yearning to pour out my life for You…all that I am, all that I have, all that I ever hope to be.  O LORD, you persuaded me, and I allowed myself to be persuaded.  You are stronger than I am, and you overpowered me.  I am ridiculed all day long; everyone mocks me.  Whenever I speak, I cry out Your Word proclaiming violence and destruction.  So the Word of the LORD has brought me insult and reproach all day long.  But if I say, “I will not mention Him or speak any more in His Name,” His Word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones.  I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.  I hear many whispering,”Terror on every side!  Report him!  Let’s report him!”  All my friends are waiting for me to slip, saying, “Perhaps he will be deceived; then we will prevail over him and take our revenge on him.”
But the LORD is with me like a mighty warrior; so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.  They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced; their dishonor will never be forgotten.  O LORD Almighty, You Who examine the righteous and examine the deepest thoughts of hearts and minds, let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you I have committed my cause.
Now I will sing out my thanks to the LORD!  Give praise to the LORD!  For though I was poor and needy, He delivered me from the hands of the wicked. [Jer 20:7-13]  Hallelujah!  

Abba Father…How do I really know if I am a true disciple of Your Divine Son  Jesus?  How do I really know if I am part of Your remnant…the 1% of Your children who are wholly surrendered unto You, wholly given for the blessings and salvation of souls…willing to follow the Lamb whithersoever He goes…who will not bow down, will not shrink back, will not compromise…who worships You, Father, in Spirit and in Truth?
My child…you will know where your heart is by where you spend the allotment of time I have given you, which I had determined in eternity past.  Stand face to face before Me, and give Me an account of how you spent your time during the past week.  Are you able to tell Me…without any embarrassment and without any shame?  Were there things you spent your time on to satisfy your self-interests and self life?  Whatever and everything you spent your time on…what was the reason why you did so?  Tell Me everything you spent your time on, and why you did so.  Bare your heart before Me…then you will know whether you are a true disciple of Christ My Son.  Do you have the same mind-set, the same heart-set?  Your priority in life is to wait upon God…as My Divine Son Jesus Himself did, clearly stating, I am able to do nothing independently, of My Own accord, but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders.  Here I am, I have come…it is written about Me in the scroll.  I desire to do Your will, O My God; Your law is within My heart.  I have come down from Heaven, not to do My will but to do the will of Him Who sent Me. [Ps 40:8; John 6:37-38]
Show me the way I should go, Father, for to You I lift up my soul.  For You have brought me into existence not to do my own will and purpose, but to do the will and purpose of my God Who created me.  

God’s holy remnant is called to a life of obedience and suffering, self-sacrifice and self-denial…to walk along the path that Christ Jesus dedicated for me, and to follow in His footsteps as our Forerunner.  You cannot become part of My holy remnant without being willing to sacrifice your desire for anyone & all others, and for anything & all else this world has to offer.  Obedience is what characterizes the life of My child…obedience continually and unceasingly day and night.  You are called to a life of obedience.  Obedience is better than sacrifice; rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness as evil as worshiping idols. [1 Sam 15:22,23]
Are you prepared to go into the Garden that Jesus went to that night of His betrayal, and to walk along the path He was called to walk in demonstration of His love for the Father?  Our Lord Jesus asks of me…of each one of us…“Do you love Me with an agape love?”  Have you set your heart to walk along the path of obedience and suffering, self-sacrifice and self-denial, death to sin and death to self?  It is the path Jesus walked and the way which He Personally dedicated for us…a new and living way to God, through the veil, that is to say, through the veil of the flesh…my sin-enslaved human nature.  It is not humanly possible to walk that path; only the Holy Spirit can set you free to walk that path, in His Power and in reliance upon His strength.  You can’t do it apart from Him.  It is the ONLY path that leads up to the Gate that opens into the Heavenly Sanctuary and into the Holy of Holies…into the inaccessible Light of the Glory of our Father’s unclouded Presence.  The Gate bears on its header the inscription “THY WILL BE DONE.” No one can walk through that Gate without first checking his/her own will there with the gatekeeper in absolute and unconditional surrender.

Blessed Holy Spirit…I freely lay my life on the altar of sacrifice, giving You free reign over the course and direction of my life on Earth.  As such, I no longer have any possessions of my own; all that I have belongs to You.
I have no plans of my own; I am here solely and only, wholly and always, to do Your will. 
I have no privileges, no expectations, no rights, no honor; I am Your bond-servant. 
My time belongs entirely to You;
I have no desires of my own heart, no purposes of my own for my life.  You are Lord of my life, and I live wholly surrendered to Your plans, Your purposes, Your will. 
All of my motives, my attitudes, my dispositions are subservient to You.  Blessed Jesus…I have no attractions to the people of this world, nor the things this world has to offer, that compete with my attraction to You.  You are the choicest, most precious treasure of my heart.
I have no affections for the people of this world, nor the things this world has to offer, that compete with my affections for You.  I have reserved for You alone my sweetest, most tender affections.
I am wholly Yours, and You are wholly mine…wholly surrendered unto God, wholly given for the blessing and salvation of souls.  My heart longs to be inflamed with yearning for God alone…to pour out my soul, my life, my all for You!

God is calling you, and desires to anoint you, to be part of His holy remnant.  Whether you are a pastor, a Christian leader, or a member of the congregation…this is what the Lord says: To the pastors I have placed in charge of My churches concerning your congregation and each individual member, write: This is the last call.  I have wooed you so many times.  This time, I say to you, in great love…there is a cost to an anointing; this is not a light, frivolous matter.  The anointing is not cheap.  If you say in your heart, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it,” if you pay the cost of the anointing, I’ll open doors for you, I’ll speak through you, and I’ll use you again like you have never conceived.  The church and any members of the congregation embracing My call will move in the Power of My Holy Spirit, and bring great glory to God!  The time of being pumped up is over.  I am tired of your solemn assembly’s, I’m tired of your sacrifices…they’re not from the heart.  Don’t miss what God is about to do.  The time has come; I need you, and I love you…but if you ignore this trumpet call…if you say in your heart, “We will not listen,” I am going to take your anointing.  You’re not going to have anything to say to anybody; you’re going to be dry.  You are going into the desert…I will love you there, and I will keep you in My care, but you can’t go with Me, and I won’t go with you. 
Beloved child of God…let My Holy Spirit open your heart, and say from the depths of your being, “God, once again, use Your church; use Your child.  Now…not another time…tonight, let something in my heart respond to Your call.”

Just as God raised up a remnant of just 1% of all the men Gideon had marshaled to fight against the Midianites, even so there is a holy remnant whom God is raising up for Himself in these Last Days…a Godly remnant of the 1% of His children who will not bow down, who will not shrink back, who will not compromise, who will remain steadfast and immovable in their commitment to follow the Lamb whithersoever He goes.  God’s holy remnant is called to a life of self-sacrifice and self-denial.  You cannot become My holy remnant without being willing to sacrifice your desire for anything and everything you own.  Obedience is what characterizes the life of My child…obedience continually and unceasingly day and night.  You are called to a life of obedience.   Obedience is better than sacrifice; rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubbornness as evil as worshiping idols. [1 Sam 15:22,23]  

Friends, brothers and sisters…

There is one absolutely necessary preparation for every living soul on the face of this Earth, for the soon coming and imminent return of Jesus Christ…the one preparation that will irrevocably determine in which neighborhood you will spend all eternity, whether in Heaven or in Hell.  You must be a born-again child of God.  I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot be in God’s Kingdom.  I tell you the truth, no one can ever enter the Kingdom of God unless you are born of water and the Spirit.  Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.  You should not be surprised at My saying you must be born again. [Jesus…John 3:3-7]

If you have never been born again,
or you are not sure whether you have been born again,
or you have been living your life as a lukewarm Christian and would now like to recommit your life and enter into a deep and intimate relationship with Christ Jesus in preparation for the soon coming marriage supper of the Lamb…
then I counsel you to get alone with God, read the solemn marriage vows you must make to become the bride of Christ and thereby be born-again, https://preservechristianfamily.org/2019/01/21/bride-of-christ/ and with sincerity of heart from within the depths of your being, acknowledge before God, “I DO.”

Arise My bride, and prepare to see My Face

Behold, I am coming soon!  My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.
Then the angel said to me, “Write this down: Blessed are those summoned to the marriage banquet of the Lamb…all true believers who are members of His Universal Church.  They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with Power and great Glory.  And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect…God’s holy people…from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.”  And he said to me further, “These are the True Words of God.” [Rev 19:9]
Blessed Jesus…I rejoice and shout triumphantly for joy!  I celebrate and ascribe to You glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb draws near, and Your bride, the Universal Church and each of her members, has been preparing herself and has made herself ready! [Rev 19:7]  Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!  For our Lord God, Sovereign All-Ruler, reigns!  Let us rejoice and be glad and give Him Glory!  For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready.  The finest linen, dazzling and white, was given her to wear.  Then the angel said to me, “Write: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage banquet of the Lamb!” [John…Rev 19:6-9; Luke 14:15-23]

The washing of one’s robes and the keeping of one’s garments relates to this very attitude and habit of looking for the return of Christ as an imminent event.    Brethren, as you hope to walk those golden streets, and eat of those immortal fruits, see to it that you have your garments clean and your loins girded about like unto men waiting for their Lord. [Seiss…Rev 21:9-22:5]

Then the king said to his servants, “The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come.  Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.”  So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.  But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing a wedding garment.  “Friend,” he asked, “How did you come in here without putting on the appropriate wedding garment?”  The man was speechless.  Then the king told the attendants, “Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.  For many are invited and summoned, but few are chosen.” [Matt 22:8-14]

ENDURE TO THE END

Behold, I am coming quickly.  Hold on to what you have, so that no one will deprive you of your crown.  Everyone who overcomes by means of their faith…I will make a pillar in the Sanctuary of My God.  Never again will you leave it.  I will write on you the name of My God and you will be a citizen in the city of My God…the new Jerusalem…which will come down out of Heaven from My God; I will also write on you My Own new name.

Holy:
