Earthquake Coming

Lying in bed early this morning I heard words which spoke of a natural disaster coming to a particular country. The words spoken were very clear and purposeful for this country and  while I wasn’t given a specific reason as to why this event would take place, I was given particular Scriptures to help with further understanding.

The words spoken was a warning that a 9. magnitude earthquake would soon hit Venezuela. While debating if I should post this on the blog, I was reminded of the scripture;

What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

Matthew 10:27

This scripture refers to the Lord Jesus speaking to His disciples when He sent them out on their mission. He also encouraged His disciples by telling them not to be afraid because things that are hidden will be revealed. The Scripture reads;

So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.

Matthew 10:26

I believe there is a deeper meaning that will unfold in this situation. Since I clearly heard the words being spoken to me, I believe there will be a revealing in Venezuela. Because the next scriptures Jesus spoke states;

And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Matthew 10:28

Jesus was warning His disciples, His followers, not to fear these people regardless of the actions they take against them. But instead to fear Him who can destroy the soul and body in the lake of fire.

Unfortunately, many people are doing the exact opposite of what Jesus taught and are fearing what is transpiring all around them. While it is human nature to have fear, Jesus taught, those who follow Him must overcome fear. We don’t need man’s weapons, but only the weapons God provides.

We do this by clothing ourselves with the Lord Jesus, by putting on the Armor of God and by standing firm in Faith. We are being urged to be obedient to the Lord Christ Jesus, to follow Him and not to deny. The scripture reads;

Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in Heaven. But whoever denies Me before Men, I will also deny him before My Father in Heaven.

Matthew 10:32

As a believer of Christ, one who seeks to do His will, I will be obedient to Him, to His teachings and to the Father. I will continue to confess the Lord Jesus Christ even in difficult times regardless of the consequences. When we fail to do what He tells us, we’re being disobedient. When we know what the right thing to do is but refuse to stand up for it, it becomes sin. For me it’s not man I fear, but Him who will destroy both soul and body in the lake of fire, as the scriptures reads;

And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:15

While my purpose for writing this is not to scare people but to prepare them and to be obedient. Regardless of what diaster one faces, there is ALWAYS HOPE in the Lord Jesus Christ. And if you don’t know Him start here.

Collapsing City

Last night during prayer time I had a vision, and, as I tried to push it aside more images was given to me. Remember, all dreams and visions are given to edify the church and also as warnings so one can prepare themselves on a spiritual level. Regardless of how dark it may seem there is always hope in our Lord Christ Jesus. With that said, this is what I saw;

From a distance of roughly 50 feet in the air I was located above a city which seemed to have alot of trees surrounding and inside of it’s city limits. Located directly in front of me were small buildings and I could see what appeared to be plumes of smoke rising from them. I’m not sure if it was actual smoke because it seemed light in color instead of the darker color often associated with smoke. Which makes me wonder if these buildings were on fire OR if the plumes was left over dust rising caused from the buildings collapsing. But everywhere I looked, I saw these plumes throughout the city. In the distance to my right in the sky I saw what appeared to be a black flying object but the distance was so great it was hard to be certain what it was.

Then immediately to my right was a large building that had collapsed. This building was at least 5 stories high, lots of thick cement walls with all the floors appearing to be smashed together and the whole building seemed to buckle in the middle then land in a backward projection. I could even see what appeared to be cars around this building and it’s why I’m not sure if this is a multi-level parking garage or a large apartment building. But either way, the damage was catastrophic.

As I saw these images, I said to the Lord, “Lord people who read my blog will want to know where this is going to happen”, then a voice said to me, ___________ California.

Since I wasn’t actually expecting a response, the first word said was hidden from me, but, I was allowed to hear the name of the state and the name given was, California. While I wasn’t given the cause of this disaster, I will say, it did remind me alot of the buildings that collapsed during the Turkey earthquake. But with the object flying in the sky I just can’t say for certain if this disaster is caused by a natural disaster such as an earthquake or something more sinister.

I don’t know when this disaster will strike but it is coming, so, prepare your hearts by believing and trusting in the Lord Christ Jesus. That way when this disaster strikes your faith, hope and trust is in Him and He will be with you regardless of what happens.

There’s Always Been War

While I was reading in the Book of Matthew it occurred to me that many people, including some Christians, really don’t understand the whole “birth pangs” statement Yeshua (Jesus, Joshua, the Messiah, Son of God) made when giving these prophecies. The scriptures read;

And Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will mislead many people. And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. But all these things  are merely the beginning of birth pains. Matthew 24:4-8

Often when this subject is discussed, non-believers and even some Christians, will say, “there’s always been war” and we’ve always had earthquakes, so, this prophecy doesn’t make sense. But as I read I thought maybe if those who don’t understand this could see it from a different perspective it may make a little more sense.

You see, I noticed that Jesus listed all these things together, false christ misleading many, wars and rumors of wars, nation rising against nation and kingdom against kingdom, famines, earthquakes in various places. So if you look at this as ALL these things happening at the SAME TIME and happening more frequently with an increase in intensity, it means we’re experiencing the beginning of birth pains.

Just like a pregnant woman who goes into labor, at first, her pains or erratic, light, and slow, but as the baby’s time draws closer to being delivered, her labor pains increase in frequency and intensity.

Maybe this is what Jesus meant when He spoke of the beginning of birth pains, meaning, when you see all these things coming together, in frequency and intensity, know the stage is being set.
