Peace to all men of His good will and to all members of the household of our Father in the name of Jesus; the Christ of GOD. It is of no small significance that I am excited and overjoyed of the current rumbling beneath our feet here in Washington State. Some of you may recall just as the Parasailing season was beginning, I wrote a letter to Rita and a few others on my email list making some prophetic statements regarding a spectacular event about to take place within the next six months right here in our region. In fact, I was very adamant about it stating, "Mark my words, we are due for a humbling earth shaking event right here in the Northwest over the next six months." I specifically recall citing a volcanic eruption or earthquake. The Spirit in me in the past has not been wrong about certain changes taking place and seems to be right on the mark since I began writing exhortations back in 1998-99.

As though Mt. Saint Helens had an appointment and there was certain expectation within me to witness a spectacular event, I sat down to watch the Friday October 1st 12:00 Noon News hour to catch up on news of the increased rumbling. At 12:02pm during the news broadcast, a CBS reporter was giving new information on the increasing number of small earthquakes with a live view of the mountain set as a back-drop. During the report, the mountain began eschewing steam and within minutes it was blowing dark hot ash and small rocks. The eruption lasted about 25 minutes and then settled down. The Spirit in me indicated, "This is only a precursor to a larger event about to take place." Shortly after the steam eruption, a deeper rumbling began rocking the mountain and lasted about 50 minutes. "Earthquakes registering above 3 on the Richter scale are continuing to rumble 3 or 4 times a minute," said one CBS reporter. Now scientists are convinced that a larger eruption of greater magnitude is imminent. Needless to say I am very pleased and edified to see that the words of warning and exhortation coming from my lips are words that "do not fall to the ground." "God is good" indeed! Does the "Word" not promise that the very words of warning spoken by God's messengers shall come to pass if the people refuse to incline their ears and give heed? It seems, as though God does want to say something, don't you think?

Nearly a year ago, the Spirit in me was exhorting promise of increased humility upon the Nation citing storm activity, i.e. tornadoes and hurricanes and warning of increased earthquake and volcanic activity. Well, this year and last year was one to put on the record books for more tornadoes and hurricanes. Within a month hurricane Charley was followed by three more successive hurricanes causing wide spread damages State wide. Many tornadoes and excessive flooding affected the entire eastern seaboard of the USA as each of these hurricanes progressed northward declining to tropical storm force winds. Does anybody think this to be mere coincidence? Much of this activity was aimed at America's notorious "Bible belt" where apostasy runs rampant. Billions upon billions of dollars in property damage as well as nearly 2000 lives were lost this year throughout the Caribbean and Eastern United States. We have been witnesses to these events but who is listening to the signs of the times? Do the people still turn deaf ears and refuse to accept all these signs and warnings are but gentle reminders that we need God in our lives? He sends forth men and angels to cry aloud His message but so many are still in denial refusing to accept the pending outcome of our contemporary abominations. Mark my words, the same suffering and fulfilled promises are in store for the Gentile Nations as was the case for Israel and Judah in recorded history. The Gentiles have done no better with God's New Covenant and laws of liberty than the Jews did with the Old Covenant. Therefore, it stands to reason that Jesus' promise in Matthew 23:33-36 and elsewhere in scripture is coming to pass. As people reject God's messengers and the message they bring, so shall it come to pass that the warnings given will not fall to the ground but be fulfilled as in the days of old when the people refused to heed God's reproof and repent from their abominations and unbelief.

All people everywhere should be reminded and cautioned that rejecting the messenger is as dangerous as rejecting the message he exhorts. It does not bode well for those who turn a deaf ear and refuse to listen...

Matthew 10:11-15 "And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye come into a house, salute it (give it your greeting of peace). And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment, than for that city."

God has made it possible for us to test and measure the legitimacy of a messenger's commission. To determine when one who speaks is truly sent or not, we must first look at the Father's Words as spoken to past prophets like Jeremiah, Ezekiel and others. Of true and false prophets, God had this to say…

Jeremiah 23:16-24 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. They say still (peace) unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walks after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? Who hath marked his word, and heard it? Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has executed, and till he has performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. Am I a God at hand, says the LORD, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? Says the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? Declares the LORD."

In order for a man to prophesy and speak the utterances of God, he must be a humble God fearing man and must stand in the council of God. When such a man stands in the council of God and is commanded to "speak to the people declaring, thus declares the Spirit of God in me" or "declares the Lord our God," that man is commissioned to speak and has little choice in the matter of what to say or write. The words that come from his lips are not his own but are the very utterances of God! There are many today around the world who proclaim and are declaring themselves to be contemporary prophets without so much as delivering a single word in context! These are the ones who hear not the voice of God but lead the people into idolatry and vanities like the "wealth and prosperity doctrines." The recent wave of sodomite preachers and sexually abusing priests and pastors are the fruit of this apostate drama I have been revealing to the people since before 1999. The spirit by which a false prophet speaks and walks is not a spirit of conviction therefore revealing themselves as liars and heretics.

The Word clearly establishes that "But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings." Furthermore, God declares to Jeremiah 23:28-29 "The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? Says the LORD. Is not my word like as a fire? Declares the LORD; and like a hammer that shatters the rock in pieces?"

Only some of you have taken the opportunity to read the collection of exhortations published in my book, "Apostasy Revealed." I wish more of you would take me more seriously but the truth is that so many are just like the houses of Israel long ago, refusing to listen! How much more calamity must befall this Nation and its allied neighbors before people start listening to God's true messengers? Americans are a hard and obstinate people who are full of pride and arrogance! I have very clearly stated in my letters to President George Bush, Governor Gary Locke in Washington State and many clergy across this Nation that the time is now to humble thyself, confess and repent from this country's long list of transgression and abomination but who listens? It is very much for me, like it was for Ezekiel when he was commissioned to "speak to thy people." Pay close attention to Ezekiel's calling and compare that with my own witness and testimony published in the course of many exhortations since 1998.

Ezekiel 2:1-10 "And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day. For they are impudent (rebellious) children and stiff-hearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus says the Lord GOD. And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou does dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee. And when I looked, behold, a hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein; and he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there were written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe."

Jeremiah's calling and commission was similar as evidenced here; Jeremiah 1:5-10 "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou came forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, says the LORD. Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant."

Think not that the twelve prophets who spoke before Jesus' arrival was the end of God's commissioned messengers. Matthew 23:34 "Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:"

Nicholas declares, "As it was for the Jews of old, so shall it become for the Gentiles of today," declares the Spirit in me. "The time of the Gentiles is now nearly complete." "Apostasy Revealed"

I'm going to do now what I've wanted to do for a long time. The following is my earliest exposure to the divine presence and interaction of our Lord's Spirit. The Spirit has born witness and a few will recall…

It was the summer of 1966 and the place was Cheyenne, Wyoming. I was five years old at the time, soon to be six in October. It was a hot sunny day and I took my toy cars out to the shady side of the mobile home to play. The grass was cool on my skin and a fresh fragrance wafted past my nose as a small wind whirled around me. It was a refreshing breeze but passed on. I was lost in my little world of make believe, playing with my little cars when a voice spoke my name. Jolted by the voice, I looked up as I stood to my knees. "Who's there?" I asked. "I Am." The gentle voice uttered. There was no one standing or sitting around me. I was alone on the cool shady lawn. "Who's I Am?" I asked.
Then the voice, which was a mans voice said to me, "Look around you. What do you see?" I answered, "I see the milk man and he's delivering milk across the street and there goes another car down the street." The voice asked, "What else do you see?" Turning my head over my left shoulder I responded, "I see the neighbors getting into their car to go somewhere?" The voice then exhorts, "What you see is not real." "What do you mean?" I asked. "The people you see are dead. They're not alive. They are dead." The voice continued, "You are alive and you will live forever because you are real and they are not." You will live forever Nicholas."
Abruptly, my mom calls from out the living room window, "Lunchtime!" I got up and ran into the house to tell my mom what I had just heard. I was so excited but I did not understand anything. After telling my mom everything that just happened, she replies, "You got quite an imagination son." As I ate lunch, I wondered if this sandwich was real and if my mom dad & sister were real and…
Within two weeks of that event, I was struck hard and developed a severe throat infection, my tonsils were swollen, adenoids rotted and maybe two weeks later then was struck by Pneumonia and went into a two day coma. I woke up in an oxygen tent and had to live inside it for about five days while under observation. I recovered and pondered from time to time whom that voice was.

Three years later we found ourselves in Washington State again as my parents worked on the Boeing Minute Man Missile program and we had been moving all over the country. We moved two to three times a year and I got to see a lot of the country. As I recall, every State west of the Mississippi River by the time I was 17. When I was nine years old, living in Puyallup, Washington, I started to have these really bad dreams that I now understand were visions. The visions lasted about two years and it was the same vision replayed over and over in my sleep.

I would dream that I would wake up from my sleep, get out of my bed and walk down the long hallway (I was little and it seemed longer than it was) and towards the living room. As I approached the living room, I notice that there is no furniture; the carpet was red as blood (we had a 70's harvest gold carpet) and in the middle of the living room was a large black square hole. It encompassed most of the living room. Curious, I walked forward and carefully peeked over the edge to look if I could see anything. Though I was not too far over the edge, I got sucked in anyway and began to fall in darkness. I kept falling and falling and it seemed like that abyss was bottomless. I screamed and screamed but no voice would come out. I was totally helpless. Finally, I hit the bottom hard and remember marveling at how I was able to do that and not break any bones or feel pain.

Somewhat relieved but shaken, I stood to my feet and noticed the room I was in was very dark and the only light there illumined myself and a very tall desk in front of me, looking like the old fashioned Superior Court Room desks. It was ornately carved and was a beautiful wooden masterpiece. As I struggled to see who was sitting up there, A large gavel came crashing down atop the desk and a voice exhorted, "Guilty!" I was ashamed and looked for a place to escape but could find none. I was scared, I pleaded that I was innocent and didn't know what this was all about. The dream always ended at that point.

After a couple of years, we found ourselves back in Puyallup, Washington living not far away from Grandma's mobile home. The lot our mobile home was situated on was pretty with allot of evergreen trees, Cedar and Hemlock. Another series of repeating dreams started again and though I remember well the last one that plagued me, it was not bothering me anymore except I kept asking God in my child like way, "Please don't let that happen to me God."

The new vision had me walking out the back door of our trailer and out onto the dirt/gravel driveway. In the dream, I recognized all the pretty trees and knew where I was. Standing in the middle of the driveway, I looked up and saw the tall cedar and hemlocks towering towards the passing clouds. I began to raise my hands towards the sky and started to lift off the ground. 'Wow, this is cool' I thought. I remember being able to see myself as though I were outside my body and as though I were in my body. I was able to watch myself rise higher and higher as well as experience it first hand. As my elevation cleared the tops of the trees and I could look down and see the ground get smaller, I started to get nervous and wonder what would happen if I stopped. Would I fall?
Just then, I started encountering obstacles; they were high-tension power lines
(We didn't live anywhere near such lines). As my altitude increased…so did the speed of my assent and I remember feeling like I wasn't going to make it. I kept ducking and dodging as fast as I could, getting scraped and wondering if I was going to survive this. It seemed like it lasted along time and was a very long assent. Then all of the sudden, I cleared the high tension lines and saw the land, trees and power lines fade smaller and smaller beneath me as I was still rising but slowing down. I eventually leveled out at altitude and brought my hands to my side parallel with my shoulders (like planes wings). This caused me to start traveling on a horizontal plane. Now I remember how much joy I started feeling because I could fly. This was the most exhilarating dream event I've ever experienced to this day. As I was learning how to spread my arms and adjust my hands to move about, I enjoyed the beautiful view of the earth below me.
Suddenly, An Eagle of Great beauty and majesty aligned its wings with my arms flying next to me. As we flew together my fears dissipated and I felt utterly FREE. Just before the vision ends a loud voice from the heavens yet above me said, "I have set you free and you shall soar among Eagles. Spread your wings and come fly with me" My memory fades regarding the other things that were spoke to me but there was a period of about two years that this vision revisited me in my sleep again and again.

Hope was restored in me and now I had two testimonies, which are as vivid to me as they were when they happened then. I didn't know it then but my Creator was doing a work on me and it would take a sum total of 32 years of His interaction before I would "wake up and see the light and acknowledge His presence."

After many years of living my own life, many sorrows began to fall upon me. In the struggle to understand, God made it clear to me that the voice I was hearing was His. Clearly, the message was not for me alone but for the whole of humanity. Hear these words again oh sons and daughters of men!
Thank you for keeping the door open a while longer that I may continue to witness the age old mystery of our Father's divine grace. In the correct context of grace, please understand that it is that which empowers one to overcome and not just merely a free gift. To cheapen His grace is to say, "I believe," and never be able to follow. Very plainly said, without Him it is impossible because it took His only begotten Son to show us a better way.

Jesus rebukes all manner and form of man's empty religion and thus demonstrates what is made possible by a living relationship with the Father's Spirit. Though He was a Son, He learned obedience through much pain and suffering, a lot of which was cast upon Him by those who were religious minded. There was a time when religious tradition and ritual was necessary to teach God's chosen how to walk and obey. Seeing that this task was largely fruitless for most, God so loved the world that He gave us His Son to demonstrate how this is done.

The faith that is spoke of in scripture is an "unwavering trust." This trust has no form of doubt or denial. For I tell you truly, doubt is of the devil and denial is in all manner of man. How many times did Jesus rebuke the unbelievers or any form of unbelief? They all thought they knew what the Messiah would be like yet He showed them something different. He listened to the prompting of God's Spirit which was upon Him and showed that what the Father desired most was relationship and not mere weak and divided belief. He also knew that this was how the state of man would remain. For, though many are called, few are actually chosen. The choice you confessed you've made was to make allegiance to another man's faith (Martin Luther, Wesley or the Pope). To divide yourself like this Jesus warned, was to incur an inevitable fall. For what house that is divided against itself can possibly stand?

The example we see today is very clearly, a clever disguise. Religion has always been a lie. You see so many are blinded causing an effect of utter rebellion and opposition to what Christ taught. This we are warned is what the Bible calls, "contrary teaching." And further, anything that is contrary to what Jesus Himself taught is an offensive lie and labeled to be factious. This is what we've been told by the Word of God, which many of you have also agreed is undeniable and pure. If we say we believe but are unable to attain, then what has really happened is that we have become the very hypocrites Jesus thus rebuked. There are problems with divided faith.

As much as Paul and all the rest had this insight, so too, do I. It is not by my own worldly understanding but by the wisdom and grace thus afforded me. Though I am just a man, I learn obedience to God thus the same way they demonstrated, thereby sharing in all the promised suffering. Scripture states that all that desire to live this way would suffer, there-by instructing all followers what was yet to come. This is a huge contrast to the goal and intent of all man's churches today. The Bible clearly states that it is better to suffer for doing what is right and just rather than suffering for wrongdoings.

The media is full of these kinds of indicators by what we read daily. But upon them I do not trust alone. It is just another way to stay in touch with what is really going on. My own experiences and many testimonies bear witness to this undeniable truth. My children have become additional witnesses thus validating my testimony. But upon my children's value, I trust not alone. There is a greater witness present within me and He is the very spirit of God. Many proclaim to have the same yet I continually prove them to be false.

According to Jesus' testimony, both Him and the Father would make their abode only with those who walk and abide in all like manner and respect to How Jesus thus performed. Peter said thus the same in Acts Chapter Five when he declared that men are witnesses to Christ's confession as is the Holy Spirit, given to those who obey. If what we profess to be true regarding the Holy Writ, then to that we must submit. Simply put, Jesus said that He did not come to judge the world but the Word, which He spoke and thus demonstrated, is what judges us indeed. Allowing to be transformed by His Word and submit to its judgment is how one is ultimately made clean and thus sanctified. This is actually the refining fire through which we all must walk if there be any hope of us seeing the Father and his Kingdom. Because this is impossible with men… Jesus authored another way.

My dear brethren, friends and neighbors, it is not enough to merely say, "I believe in Jesus." We must all get a grip and realize the salvation of God is this; a duty and responsibility to handle His Word faithfully. In order for any to do this, we must all heed and obey and because this requires great discipline; we must depend on his grace today. Therein lies the secret, without God's help, none of this is possible. But to become more like Jesus is what is truly expected. From all the sons of men, do the sons of God come. We will learn obedience the same way Jesus did if we ever expect to see the promised inheritance. Anything contrary to this fundamental truth is a lie and another attempt to deceive. In the end, many will there be, the ones who claim "See, I am, I did," but will be terribly disappointed when they realize that their deeds were all in vain. They lived out a life of works instead of unwavering trust and faith. Their deeds became a denial of all that Jesus taught and they become the ones whom are ultimately left out. See how necessary it is for me to be bold and unwavering? It is not a man that people reject when I exhort, but God Himself whom they know not. What I speak is not by my own devise for the Spirit gives me Word and thus commands, to speak to the people who will listen and help deliver them from their ecumenical delusion. So many are they whom are deceived today, so many are they for whom I grieve.

It is for the cause of love that I do this and not a mere judgment but a confession of utter conviction. This is what the Word means where it says that God is opposed to the proud but gives grace to the humble. Aren't you glad now that I am not motivated from an evil intent but a true hatred and dislike for all man's contempt? My pain and despair is rooted in the same, God's love is this, to fully embrace His hatreds and kill the enmity from within. Only then can we be truly useful. We are called to be bondservants first then through much refining we will be called sons, but not until sanctification is thus accomplished. Sanctification is simply put the "making straight of one's pathway." These are the words and dictates of the Spirit in me and I exhort you please, receive His loving reproof.

The main point of this letter is that if you call yourself saved and trust in God's Word, show yourself to be His example rather than your own. Some rightly declare that God is a respecter of no one and this is why. No matter what man tries to build apart from His Son's example, it is likely to all come crashing down. Because hypocrisy and divided belief is what ruins the true witness, in the end it is all proven to be lies. When you see trouble then you are "commanded" to separate from that which was once dark and now exposed in the true light. If you are truly called then unto God's Word, I beg you submit. Trust only in His Son and make no other pattern before Him neither make any other god's after Him for He is the only One, worthy to be obeyed.

You are called from out of darkness and asked to step into the light. The choices you now make are what reveal the faith you thus have. We are all known by our word and deed. We should never be found following after men. The only true example is to follow Christ. To understand Christ is to know He was commissioned and thus anointed. We are the inheritors of the same if we choose to truly follow. But anything less than that will be an utter shame because we chose to live out our lives in vain.

This rebuke was not necessarily directed towards you but the churches in which many of you still fellowship. I have clearly identified and exposed the lies so that you now have a choice; to live out your life in contempt of God's Word or to truly suffer with me as I do with my Lord and all His true brethren. It really is that simple. But don't take my word for it, please accept the exhortation if you can, subscribe to God's whole Word or deny Him and His servants. The choice is still yours but it is one that becomes necessary when you truly desire to follow.

1 Corinthians 5:9-13 "I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? Do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judges. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person."

2 Corinthians 6:16-18 "And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."

Ezekiel 33:27-33 "Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence. For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through. Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations, which they have committed. Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD. And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not. And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them."

Isaiah 10:1-4 "Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation, which shall come from far? To whom will ye flee for help and where will ye leave your glory? Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still."

Really folks... need anything more be said about the messengers whom Jesus promised to send?
Listen up! Listen all that have turned their backs on God and denied His grace! "We are in the last hours, even moments of the second day and soon, the morning of the third day will dawn. What happens on the third day oh sons of men?" Asks the Spirit in me.

Matthew 23:33-36 "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation."

Matthew 24:7-14 "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilence's, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

Revelation 18:3-5 "For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities."

Are you ready for what is coming down the pike? What kind of foundation have you built upon, was it sand, clay or rock? What measure of faith and grace has been poured out on you? How much mercy do you practice with others? Who in your life still needs to know that they are forgiven? How are you ministering to the needs of widows, children, orphans and others? How are you able to refrain from stain and reproach and show others good example? Where does your money go and whom do you support. Are you selfish or selfless? Does your word many anything to others? When wisdom comes knocking, do you open the door and invite her in? Do you know true humility? Is your love yet perfected? Whom do you fear and what is your definition of love and selfless sacrifice? Seek God and offer your answers to Him. I am just a humble servant with little in the way of worldly value but rich in FAITH.

With all God fearing sincerity and love for my brothers and sisters,
