My mother had a dream of a field of wheat. Then she's suddenly seeing this spike or ear of wheat and it was very emphasized if that makes sense how ripe and ready this wheat was. Then she sees this sickle. No one was holding it. Then suddenly she hears the sound of the sickle harvesting the wheat in a moment! She said it sounded like fff fff fff fff!!! Then she's looking over the wheat field and the wheat is gone! Except some left around the perimeter of the wheat field. Then my mom sees a body of water (I can't recall if it was a lake or what I'd have to ask her) and there are lots of fish in it! Then suddenly the fish were all gone!! The perimeter however she said were some dark colored fish left. My mom of course could tell the dream in more detail but we instantly knew this was a God given warning of the return of Jesus! I have had many dreams of the rapture and a dream of Revelation 6:14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. It happened just like that and in the dream EVERYONE knew! Every person on the earth KNEW. It was beautiful! I hope you all don't mind me sharing but I hope that it will be encouraging that we WILL see his the return of our King ❤️
Thank you for sharing your mother's dream. I have never had a dream about the rapture, but many times I hear in my mind and spirit, "I want to go home, I just want to go home". It is so strong. The funny thing is that many of the times I have heard that in my mind, I was in my house or apartment. By human standards, I was home.......but my spirit wasn't home, and I can't wait to go to home........my real home.........heaven to be with Jesus!
Thank you for sharing your mom’s dream and your dreams! I love hearing of other’s dreams since I have them as well. It’s very comforting and exciting to read them. Please continue sharing!
I am so glad for your share and try to visualize it the way you describe it. Considering the possible interpretations, it seems pretty obvious in my mind and the way you described it. He sent me a number of significant dreams starting in 2019, before the world was changed. 2 out of the original 4 were flood related. He was very direct with me about part of 1 dream. It clearly appears that we are almost to that time. So exciting of times. Being able to see Him face to face and everything will be changed. Thanks again so much for sharing.
Wow: so encouraging! I think God is very intentional in the Bible with Judgment pictures.
To me, Barley is a picture of the Rapture, as it only needs to be waved to separate the grain from the husk. For example, in Ruth 3:20, Boaz is winnowing barley: tossing grain into the air to finish separating the grain from the chaff. I think this is a picture of those will be Raptured (believers in Jesus).
Wheat needs to be threshed with a sledge to separate grain from chaff, and I think this is a picture of the Tribulation: God’s Wrath to bring people to Christ and Salvation. The Hebrew word for wheat is חִטָּה (pronounced “chittaw”), which has a Gematria (numerical) value of 22: how cool would it be of the Rapture and beginning of the Tribulation were in 2022?!
For those who reject Christ, He will trample on them like Grapes, and juice/blood pours out.
I had a dream a few years ago wherein I was at the corner of a street called “Wheatfield”, and I understood in my spirit this was indicating that we are about to turn the corner into the Tribulation. Of course, no one knows when, but the signs have continued since that dream!
Jeremy thank you for your reply! That is super cool!!! What you said about the numerical value of wheat! Gosh, I hope that he comes this year!!! I'm really really hoping this Rosh Hashanah! I'm ready to go home in the best way! It has been such an encouragement and hope to hear everyone's thoughts and dreams! Thank you for sharing this! Made my day!!!!! I will share this with my mom!
Happy Sunday Tipping Point! I’m so encouraged reading this amazing post, Pastor Laurie. I love the reminder to keep looking up, but also in our waiting….we’re looking for, welcoming with a deep & holy longing for his return. That’s our hearts desire. Period. We can’t lose our salvation when we mess up with sin, but like Greg shared anything that is not right with God—we should deal with those things now..💛 We had family movie night and watched The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe… I probably hadn’t watched that in 17 years! My kids & I read the books together, but saw it again with new eyes and understanding of the prophecy. The Lion of Judah WILL return for us!! I love this quote from CS Lewis— There have been times when I think we do not desire heaven but more often I find myself wondering whether, in our heart of hearts, we have ever desired anything else.💛
Such a good share thank you. Those books are a treasure and such a good parallel. You are 1000% correct about self evaluation. It says to pray that we are counted worthy to escape all these things coming upon the earth. He is very serious about right living. Thanks again for the share, have a nice Sunday.
Hi Kari last week I sent a copy of Jimmys new book ''Where have all the people gone" to All Pro Redskin John Riggins. He has been getting into the scary kind of yoga recently and we need to continue to pray for his conversion! Don't know if he cracked the Tipping Point copy I sent him?
Hi Jonathan and great last name ;) I think that's awesome you sent Jimmy's book. My MO pastor John Lindell did an incredible message on the dangers of Yoga https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gajVYD6dN7E He received massive backlash, but if you listen to the sermon it's powerful & truthful. I'd encourage you to watch the entire message, but specifically 35:20 starts the part on yoga. Very eyeopening.
Wow ..... thanks for that Kari. I just learned a ton from pastor John regarding yoga. Not too long ago, a guy who I sometimes golf and rollerblade with mentioned that he's been going to a yoga class and I decided to join him to see for myself what it was about. There were about 14 women (one of whom was my buddy's wife) and only the two of us guys. The instructor was also a fairly young lady and I was welcomed as she advised I should attend at least 3 classes before making up my mind. I found some of the chants a bit strange but I had no idea of yoga's roots. I didn't return for any more classes. A few days later I was talking with my older sister who is a Christian and she mentioned to me that she had heard a sermon at her church regarding the origins of yoga. Needless to say, I walked away from my one and only yoga session with a sore neck, but now, based on what I'm aware of, I'm sure I'm not going back....... pastor John is excellent!!!
Cornel that made me laugh but sorry you had a sore neck. What I love is when a pastor shares about things that seem so innocent but they can really be harmful like …dream catchers. You should check out his angels & demons series! It’s a wow! He also has a Living in the Last days series I’ve shared here before. We love Pastor Lindell💛💛💛
LOL ....... yeah, it was a pretty funny class because I must have been the only one on my back having to look up to see what the instructor's next contortion pose looked like ....... it's all good because it's in the past .... I'll have to check out your other suggestions of the series ..... always looking to learn so, thanks again :)
With bated breath I wait. The world around us is falling apart, but we have to remember that we are not of this world any longer, we belong to our saviour. Just knowing that he is coming for us soon is comforting. So as the world falls apart around us we wait for his return with bated breath. God bless all of you, my brothers and sisters.
I also have had one dream a couple years ago of the rapture. It was utterly amazing. It has given me so much peace, and I believe it was a gift from God so that my heart would be calm and have no fear of the coming days. I know our time here is short.
It's pretty hard to put into words, but I will try. It was more the pure white I saw and the speed in which I was traveling up to heaven. I am not a dreamer and so this was just so amazing that words just pale to what I saw and felt.
Something made me look up and when I did, in the clouds; I saw a white (beyond beautiful and so white) a cloud lamb and another one was there but I couldn't take my eyes off the first one because I had never seen anything so white. I just couldn't look away. I was then holding my husbands hand and I was trying to tell him (very excitedly) that Jesus was talking us to heaven, but we were going up sooooo fast that my words were all stretched out and sounded like Charlie browns teacher lol. It was so real that I was devastated when I woke up. It took me weeks to realize God gave me that dream to quiet my longing for heaven to where I could finish my life here and be useful 😊😉
I am new to the site. I have been asking the Father to send His Son for us. Constantly. Then I heard my 15 year old Godson say he doesn’t believe in God and that he was indoctrinated. I believed all my loved ones were saved, but now I’m at a loss. Please pray for him “Gavyn”. I want my Savior to come but I want my Godson with us.
Martha, I’m sorry about Gavyn. This world is an absolute mind field!!! I was raised in a Christian home, went to a Christian school and started drinking and doing dope at 14 and between the ages of 17 and 25, I was in jail probably.15-20 times in 12 different jails. Wrecked cars, was hospitalized for days unconscious and should be dead many times! “But God” and the prayers of my family and many others.At the age of 25 in Los Angeles County Jail on Tuesday November 16th, 1982, I was BROKEN!!! I got down on my knees and prayed the sinners prayer!!! Praise God!!!! I say all that not to scare you, but to encourage you. Never Give Up!!!! I also have 4 beautiful children and life hasn’t always been a cakewalk with them, but they’re Good and following The Lord. Keep praying and doing what you’re doing by asking others to pray for Gavyn! In fact ask Everyone to pray!!! We almost lost our oldest daughter to anorexia and Child Evangeism Fellowship one of the ministries that I work made hundreds of pens, (put pray for Natalie Eddy today) and sent them out to their country coordinators around the world and through that and many other challenges with her, she is A Solid young happily married Christian woman today!!! Our Heavenly Father Loves Gavyn more than you or I ever could! It’s Scary Scary with kids, we have to constantly lift them up in prayer and TRUST Jesus to minister to him. I pray today that The Lord would put His Mighty Angels around Gavyn and keep a hedge of protection around him! I pray today that someone, be it an Angel or no a person, I pray that they share in a clear and relevant way, “The Good News” and that his eyes would be Wide Opened (not good grammar, I know) and He Will see Jesus and become a follower of His!!! That may not happen today, but I pray it happens soon!!!
Blessings, Martha and I’m sorry for the ramble!!! Once I get started, it’s hard to stop talking about this Great God that we serve
Lord Jesus, we pray for Molly also. This precious daughter of Yours. Draw her heart with Your powerful Spirit. Protect her and watch over her in these dark times. In Jesus name.
I pray Lord Jesus that you would surround Molly with A Host of Your Mighty Angels and that You would keep A Hedge of Protection around her and that if she doesn’t know you that Your Holy Spirit will bring her to repentance and that she will accept Your FREE GIFT of Salvation. I pray this in Your Mighty Matchless Name Jesus. Amen
Kari, thank you so much. She made a profession of faith as a child and was so happy to be baptized. She came out of college a different person, as many have. God bless you and yours 💕
That is the story of my youngest Adam! He was a devout Christian, served the Lord and wanted to be a missionary but when he came out of university he was not the same. I have been praying for him to return t9 the Lord for 10 years now. Praying for Molly 🙏
Rose I’ll be praying for your son Adam! Just like I shared with Blondie your son will never be abandoned or rejected by the Lord due to sin or anything. I hope Luke 15 brings your heart comfort too. There will be a huge celebration when he re-dedicates his life to Yahweh.💛💛
Blondie, I believe your daughter has not lost her salvation. I have always believed when you are saved and baptized no matter how far off the track any of us might go— God is there with open arms. So I know He will never ever let her go or abandon his covenant with your daughter. Read Luke 15 in the NLT version— The Lost Son and other parables in this chapter will encourage your heart & soul. I’m praying💛💛
Kari, thanks so much for your faith and prayers for Molly,
Adam, and Gavyn. I read Luke 15 in NLT. What a perfect picture. The lost sheep represents one who belongs to the Lord but strayed, not one who never belonged. How encouraging. Thank you, dear Kari, for pointing us to this passage!
Hi Matt, WOW your testimony is powerful and hopeful! I’m amazed again & again hearing stories of redemption. You’re right… never give up!!!! Thank you for sharing and encouraging all of us.💛
Marsha thanks for sharing. I have 8 kids and two of them are definitely not right with God right now and it is such a hard thing. Probably the hardest thing to wrestle with because of the times we are in. I know that God has been asking me to trust them with Him. Consistent prayer and standing firm in our values will probably make the biggest difference. In fact, one time I had a dream we were all raptured. But while we were there, the people behind were all I could think about at first. So I totally understand how you feel. Lord Jesus, we pray now for Gavyn. We pray that His heart will be touched and softened to Your Word and Spirit. In Jesus Name.
I look for the return of Jesus with the anticipation of a child at Christmas. I know my gifts are waiting for me and I can't wait to open them. Just as Jesus will have the gift of being in his presence for eternity and being able to praise him for his sacrifice is a gift I look forward to each day I wait for him.
When I use to travel for work, I would get SO EXCITED the night before my travel day back home. I would clean up my mess & jam all my things in my suitcase. I was so looking forward to “going home!”
That’s how I feel now (w/o the pressure to pack!🤩)
We serve a Mighty God!! So thankful He is totally in control of the winds, the waves, and the end times we are living in now. Don’t be anxious for anything because He still has us in the palms of His hands. Because we have Jesus, then we have everything we need. God bless you brothers and sisters and I hope you have an amazing day. 🦋
I Iove that people are sharing their dreams and visions. Please everyone continue! I, myself, have an adult daughter that has taken her time in growing up and has made many, many bad decisions concerning relationships in her adult life. It took her going through a divorce ( after finding out that her 1 month husband had a girlfriend on the side) to finally shake her up enough to get right with God. I'd gone through something similar and explained that the toughest, most heart wrenching experiences are actually the ones that create the most growth and wisdom. Soon after this, she told me of a dream she had. She said that everyone was standing outside waiting for Jesus. She decided to go into the house for a moment to grab some chocolate. When she came back out, she couldn't find me and everyone was gone. That was the whole dream. I'm assuming it was a warning to her basically to focus on what's really important (God) and not distract herself with everything else. My beautiful, shallow daughter needed a kick in the rear. It's now been 5 years and she has matured by leaps and bounds. She's still single but she knows now to let God do the picking for a future spouse and she's rededicated herself to God. We are working on my husband now....
Church this morning, and our Pastor preached from Luke 17:20-37, the one will be taken and the other left…. He announced after he preached that the Church would be investing in a school so parents can get their kids out of the public school system as soon as possible. We live in an area where this probably makes sense…. But. This post this morning confirmed what my heart was feeling… as they were talking about big checks. It seemed rather, “I know Christ will return again.” I did not hear, “looking for and welcoming His return.” I felt the later. Interpreting the Scriptures rightly is so important, especially in Church, where even the Spirit can be grieved. I sensed a spin. But I am happy for them. These are the days of Noah, and people want a way out, especially for their kids. But there is no way out, only up. That is how it felt. But I was mostly alone. 🌻
It kind of reminds me of a certain TV pastor who claims that Jesus is coming back soon but at the same time keeps asking for people to send in large amounts of money in order to build an expensive new building to broadcast the words of the "prophets". Hmmmmm
A megachurch near me in Northern Cal is working at raising millions for a fancy park adjoined to the church supposedly for the kids. It feels to me like they are just trying to get more rich people to join the church. Im having a hard time finding a church that actually focuses on Jesus. That's why people like Jimmy Evans is so important to me!
Yes, thank-you green eyed girl and Justin. You got it. Perhaps there is a fine line between continuing on with our lives to plan for the future as best we can, and a growing excitement that we can hardly contain because we know that the time to be home with Jesus is near. I don’t really blame them as there is tons of parents with young kids in Church who want to go on looking ahead…. What else can they do? But I am looking at the signs of the times on a regular bases, which are everywhere, and I see a different future coming soon, in Heaven, attending a very special Wedding! Shouldn’t we be shouting it from the mountaintops? The seats in the Church will be empty, for the most part. No more Church! No more School! No more nothing. We are gone!! As a Pastor, what do they say, what do they do; keep living, keep planning, keep building? I suppose yes, but they might want to take 5 minutes here and there to reflect on the Scriptures and current events, about just how close we may actually be, to the end, the very end. We don’t want the thief in the night to catch us by surprise…. Do we? Do they? Just a thought, that I had, as I sat in my pretribulation Church this morning, listening…. 🌻
Great perspective 😊. There is that fine line. Kind of like being a kid with Christmas morning coming up ha ha. We know we have the monster of all presents waiting. Makes it hard to focus on other stuff sometime. Some of the things I try to do are for the people that will be saved afterwards. I tithe and offer a good bit toward Talking Bibles for instance. Many of the people in other countries don’t necessarily read or write but understand these Bibles that talk out loud in their own language. After the church is harpotzo’d out, a lot of people will be suddenly be a lot more open to the message. Some of these things hopefully will be out there as a message and testimony later on. There are many other great Christian causes and movements too. As long as we are chugging along here I’ll keep dreaming of that day and doing my little part of the puzzle as well as possible. Looking forward to no more pain, no more sin or evil and that wonderful, loving Fathers face smiling into mine 😊✝️😎
Yes! I love what you've said. We're all straddling a line of living in this world, preparing for next week, next year, etc but also feeling like our time on this earth is temporary. I keep hearing about the year 2025 or even sooner. Oh do I hope it's only a few years away!
Kris, I love how you explain things. You really make one see the true meaning of linking Bible prophecies. Sure, it is going to be scary and we see the things that are taking place, but then we soon forget that these events must all happen to fulfill what is written. Sometimes we forget how we are going to feel once we are outa here. We focus on the reality of what we know and experience instead of focusing on what is about to happen in the heavenly realms. That is why I love reading all of this group's conversations. So encouraging to each of us. We have so many things in common with each other on here, our wayward children, our natural fears of things that we see happening, the problems that we each have in our own lives. May God bless each one reading this today.
Great points Kris........ It's a sort of controlled enthusiasm when looking all around us..... Keep looking up as we're moving forward toward the finish line encouraging those in our circle of influence.
Thanks Cornel, and all, for the encouragement. That thing on Sunday threw me a bit. The enemy loves to get me going…. Lookin up! Encouraging those in our circle of influence…. Love it. This is the Day that the Lord has made!! Each day has enough trouble of its own. Best to not get too far ahead of ourselves. Keeping it simple, with Jesus by my side, and the Body of Christ close at hand. Love to all! 🌻
Thank you for sharing. We are certainly in the time of apostasy in regards to so much of the church falling away. This would be another example what you are taking about. It is very hard to find right teaching especially. Greg Laurie here has always been on with his Bible teaching. One of my all time favorites is Chuck Missler (passed away now) but has such great materials in Koininea House , though I usually pick through a lot of the different topics from YouTube. If you listen to radio much, I’ve found most everything on CSN radio to be solid (Christian Satellite Network). Lots of good teachers and materials. I really like Jimmy Evans and the practical advice he offers in his messages here. Just wanted to note a few of the solid teachers I enjoy in a time of apostasy. It is so prevalent through so much of the church and even down to the local level. Praying that God continues to give you that good discernment you mention above when looking at all these different things. And God bless you too.
Thank you for your suggestions about good pastor/teachers. I've listened to dozens and have narrowed it down to a handful that I actually trust. My experiences with " church" have never been very good . I have too much discernment and a highly evolved b.s meter which makes me
need truth and not just a feel good message.
Ive gone to a few because i loved the worship but then realized the pastor was completely off base. I love Jesus but have never loved the church. To be honest, I've given up searching and this is why books, online and tv teaching is so important to me.
I'm so glad to see that you and some of the other believers are willing to be discerning and not just accept the feel good or right sounding teachings (with fatal flaws). Jesus said not to be deceived with a big emphasis so being discerning and critical of the content is wise in these times. It is great that you have some good ones that are trustworthy and reliable. I'm sorry to hear that about your church experiences. It is somewhat similar to what we have experienced here, even in our small town Montana setting. Contrary teaching to things clearly in the Bible. We have finally found a small church that seems to have their ducks generally in a row and with some really good folks. Looking back, we have lovingly confronted pastors/people at certain times about things and sometimes that's all you can do when they won't correct. I would encourage you that perhaps some of these places/people lovingly need correction. It would appear that God has given you a gift there that might be helpful for some of these groups or churches. I very much admire it when people will kindly but firmly stand up against bad teaching/teachers, even when it is a bit uncomfortable. Proverbs talks about the wise being able to accept a rebuke and learning. I think there are still a few wise people out there that would find your insights helpful. It might even come down to just doing small home-church type things but I think God has some great things He can work through you to some of the other believers in your area. God's peace and blessings to you this Sunday.
Discernment, yes. It is a strange gift at times. God gave it to His Body, His Church. You know something is wrong, or off, or different, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. The words take time, but they won’t stop coming. To sort it out, put it before the Lord and wait on Him for the big picture… That’s how I see the Prophets of old. And then they blast it out!! They were so full of power from on High that we are still listening to them today!! Just imagine what must have been going through their minds, their Hearts, as they watched, and listened…. to the world around them, then. They were such a gift, those Prophets of old… and still are. On course for one eternal future, with Jesus, the King of glory….. 🌻
Hi Green eyed girl, add Pastor John Lindell to your list of trustful, amazing pastors. He was our pastor for 21 years in MO and now I enjoy his online sermons every Sunday - https://jamesriver.online/sermons/ He's currently teaching Acts - he's an expository pastor.💛
Thank you Kari for the suggestion. I will look up his sermons. I actually have one of his books on my shelf but never got around to reading it. I'll have to read that one. Thanks again!
Brother Jimmy great insight as always. I have been looking at the forest but, in these days, the
individual trees of Bible signs are overwhelming. I have notice that Prophetic history can been
seen in three stages like in gardening a seed then a young plant and finally the harvest. Gen 3:15
tells of the seed then Isa 53 tells of the young plant lastly Christ in His own parable said the
harvest is the end of the world. Interestingly there is roughly a 2000 year time span between
each Adam to Noah (flood), 2000 years from Abraham to Christ (the cross), lastly Christ to now the last 2000 years. This is the end of the end there is nothing beyond the harvest. Sin bottoms
My mother had a dream of a field of wheat. Then she's suddenly seeing this spike or ear of wheat and it was very emphasized if that makes sense how ripe and ready this wheat was. Then she sees this sickle. No one was holding it. Then suddenly she hears the sound of the sickle harvesting the wheat in a moment! She said it sounded like fff fff fff fff!!! Then she's looking over the wheat field and the wheat is gone! Except some left around the perimeter of the wheat field. Then my mom sees a body of water (I can't recall if it was a lake or what I'd have to ask her) and there are lots of fish in it! Then suddenly the fish were all gone!! The perimeter however she said were some dark colored fish left. My mom of course could tell the dream in more detail but we instantly knew this was a God given warning of the return of Jesus! I have had many dreams of the rapture and a dream of Revelation 6:14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. It happened just like that and in the dream EVERYONE knew! Every person on the earth KNEW. It was beautiful! I hope you all don't mind me sharing but I hope that it will be encouraging that we WILL see his the return of our King ❤️
Thank you for sharing your mother's dream. I have never had a dream about the rapture, but many times I hear in my mind and spirit, "I want to go home, I just want to go home". It is so strong. The funny thing is that many of the times I have heard that in my mind, I was in my house or apartment. By human standards, I was home.......but my spirit wasn't home, and I can't wait to go to home........my real home.........heaven to be with Jesus!
Miss Donna, I'm ready to go home also!!! I think most of us long for this!!! Bless you for sharing <3
Thank you for sharing your mom’s dream and your dreams! I love hearing of other’s dreams since I have them as well. It’s very comforting and exciting to read them. Please continue sharing!
Thank you for your nice comment, I hope it will bring more hope and encouragement!!! I also love to hear other dreams that people have! God bless!
This gave me tears and chills, how I long to go home.
I am so glad for your share and try to visualize it the way you describe it. Considering the possible interpretations, it seems pretty obvious in my mind and the way you described it. He sent me a number of significant dreams starting in 2019, before the world was changed. 2 out of the original 4 were flood related. He was very direct with me about part of 1 dream. It clearly appears that we are almost to that time. So exciting of times. Being able to see Him face to face and everything will be changed. Thanks again so much for sharing.
Wow: so encouraging! I think God is very intentional in the Bible with Judgment pictures.
To me, Barley is a picture of the Rapture, as it only needs to be waved to separate the grain from the husk. For example, in Ruth 3:20, Boaz is winnowing barley: tossing grain into the air to finish separating the grain from the chaff. I think this is a picture of those will be Raptured (believers in Jesus).
Wheat needs to be threshed with a sledge to separate grain from chaff, and I think this is a picture of the Tribulation: God’s Wrath to bring people to Christ and Salvation. The Hebrew word for wheat is חִטָּה (pronounced “chittaw”), which has a Gematria (numerical) value of 22: how cool would it be of the Rapture and beginning of the Tribulation were in 2022?!
For those who reject Christ, He will trample on them like Grapes, and juice/blood pours out.
I had a dream a few years ago wherein I was at the corner of a street called “Wheatfield”, and I understood in my spirit this was indicating that we are about to turn the corner into the Tribulation. Of course, no one knows when, but the signs have continued since that dream!
Jeremy thank you for your reply! That is super cool!!! What you said about the numerical value of wheat! Gosh, I hope that he comes this year!!! I'm really really hoping this Rosh Hashanah! I'm ready to go home in the best way! It has been such an encouragement and hope to hear everyone's thoughts and dreams! Thank you for sharing this! Made my day!!!!! I will share this with my mom!
Happy Sunday Tipping Point! I’m so encouraged reading this amazing post, Pastor Laurie. I love the reminder to keep looking up, but also in our waiting….we’re looking for, welcoming with a deep & holy longing for his return. That’s our hearts desire. Period. We can’t lose our salvation when we mess up with sin, but like Greg shared anything that is not right with God—we should deal with those things now..💛 We had family movie night and watched The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe… I probably hadn’t watched that in 17 years! My kids & I read the books together, but saw it again with new eyes and understanding of the prophecy. The Lion of Judah WILL return for us!! I love this quote from CS Lewis— There have been times when I think we do not desire heaven but more often I find myself wondering whether, in our heart of hearts, we have ever desired anything else.💛
Such a good share thank you. Those books are a treasure and such a good parallel. You are 1000% correct about self evaluation. It says to pray that we are counted worthy to escape all these things coming upon the earth. He is very serious about right living. Thanks again for the share, have a nice Sunday.
Hi Kari last week I sent a copy of Jimmys new book ''Where have all the people gone" to All Pro Redskin John Riggins. He has been getting into the scary kind of yoga recently and we need to continue to pray for his conversion! Don't know if he cracked the Tipping Point copy I sent him?

You should check out his angels & demons series! It’s a wow! He also has a Living in the Last days series I’ve shared here before. We love Pastor Lindell💛💛💛
LOL ....... yeah, it was a pretty funny class because I must have been the only one on my back having to look up to see what the instructor's next contortion pose looked like ....... it's all good because it's in the past .... I'll have to check out your other suggestions of the series ..... always looking to learn so, thanks again :)
With bated breath I wait. The world around us is falling apart, but we have to remember that we are not of this world any longer, we belong to our saviour. Just knowing that he is coming for us soon is comforting. So as the world falls apart around us we wait for his return with bated breath. God bless all of you, my brothers and sisters.
The world isn't falling to pieces, its that the pieces are falling into place.
I like that Harriet💛
Have a super duper day sister, all the while Looking up and saying PTL if not out loud, then in our hearts. xox
the world started coming unglued almost right away. First Satan and his big lie, then Cain murdered his brother, Abel.
I also have had one dream a couple years ago of the rapture. It was utterly amazing. It has given me so much peace, and I believe it was a gift from God so that my heart would be calm and have no fear of the coming days. I know our time here is short.
Can you share your dream, Sherrie?
Oh hey Blondie, I never saw this.
It's pretty hard to put into words, but I will try. It was more the pure white I saw and the speed in which I was traveling up to heaven. I am not a dreamer and so this was just so amazing that words just pale to what I saw and felt.
Something made me look up and when I did, in the clouds; I saw a white (beyond beautiful and so white) a cloud lamb and another one was there but I couldn't take my eyes off the first one because I had never seen anything so white. I just couldn't look away. I was then holding my husbands hand and I was trying to tell him (very excitedly) that Jesus was talking us to heaven, but we were going up sooooo fast that my words were all stretched out and sounded like Charlie browns teacher lol. It was so real that I was devastated when I woke up. It took me weeks to realize God gave me that dream to quiet my longing for heaven to where I could finish my life here and be useful 😊😉
Well there it is, but it just falls short ☺️
I am new to the site. I have been asking the Father to send His Son for us. Constantly. Then I heard my 15 year old Godson say he doesn’t believe in God and that he was indoctrinated. I believed all my loved ones were saved, but now I’m at a loss. Please pray for him “Gavyn”. I want my Savior to come but I want my Godson with us.
Martha, I’m sorry about Gavyn. This world is an absolute mind field!!! I was raised in a Christian home, went to a Christian school and started drinking and doing dope at 14 and between the ages of 17 and 25, I was in jail probably.15-20 times in 12 different jails. Wrecked cars, was hospitalized for days unconscious and should be dead many times! “But God” and the prayers of my family and many others.At the age of 25 in Los Angeles County Jail on Tuesday November 16th, 1982, I was BROKEN!!! I got down on my knees and prayed the sinners prayer!!! Praise God!!!! I say all that not to scare you, but to encourage you. Never Give Up!!!! I also have 4 beautiful children and life hasn’t always been a cakewalk with them, but they’re Good and following The Lord. Keep praying and doing what you’re doing by asking others to pray for Gavyn! In fact ask Everyone to pray!!! We almost lost our oldest daughter to anorexia and Child Evangeism Fellowship one of the ministries that I work made hundreds of pens, (put pray for Natalie Eddy today) and sent them out to their country coordinators around the world and through that and many other challenges with her, she is A Solid young happily married Christian woman today!!! Our Heavenly Father Loves Gavyn more than you or I ever could! It’s Scary Scary with kids, we have to constantly lift them up in prayer and TRUST Jesus to minister to him. I pray today that The Lord would put His Mighty Angels around Gavyn and keep a hedge of protection around him! I pray today that someone, be it an Angel or no a person, I pray that they share in a clear and relevant way, “The Good News” and that his eyes would be Wide Opened (not good grammar, I know) and He Will see Jesus and become a follower of His!!! That may not happen today, but I pray it happens soon!!!
Blessings, Martha and I’m sorry for the ramble!!! Once I get started, it’s hard to stop talking about this Great God that we serve
Thank you for the encouragement. Please pray for my daughter Molly
Lord Jesus, we pray for Molly also. This precious daughter of Yours. Draw her heart with Your powerful Spirit. Protect her and watch over her in these dark times. In Jesus name.
Amen 🙏
Thank you so much for your prayers, Justin. May all our children return to the God of their youth.
Yes and Amen 🙏
I pray Lord Jesus that you would surround Molly with A Host of Your Mighty Angels and that You would keep A Hedge of Protection around her and that if she doesn’t know you that Your Holy Spirit will bring her to repentance and that she will accept Your FREE GIFT of Salvation. I pray this in Your Mighty Matchless Name Jesus. Amen
Thank you so much for your powerful prayer for my Molly!
Praying for Molly💛💛
Kari, thank you so much. She made a profession of faith as a child and was so happy to be baptized. She came out of college a different person, as many have. God bless you and yours 💕
That is the story of my youngest Adam! He was a devout Christian, served the Lord and wanted to be a missionary but when he came out of university he was not the same. I have been praying for him to return t9 the Lord for 10 years now. Praying for Molly 🙏
Rose, Adam will be in my prayers. A mother’s heart aches for her wayward child. Thank you for your prayers as well.
Rose I’ll be praying for your son Adam! Just like I shared with Blondie your son will never be abandoned or rejected by the Lord due to sin or anything. I hope Luke 15 brings your heart comfort too. There will be a huge celebration when he re-dedicates his life to Yahweh.💛💛
Blondie, I believe your daughter has not lost her salvation. I have always believed when you are saved and baptized no matter how far off the track any of us might go— God is there with open arms. So I know He will never ever let her go or abandon his covenant with your daughter. Read Luke 15 in the NLT version— The Lost Son and other parables in this chapter will encourage your heart & soul. I’m praying💛💛
Kari, thanks so much for your faith and prayers for Molly,
Adam, and Gavyn. I read Luke 15 in NLT. What a perfect picture. The lost sheep represents one who belongs to the Lord but strayed, not one who never belonged. How encouraging. Thank you, dear Kari, for pointing us to this passage!
Hi Matt, WOW your testimony is powerful and hopeful! I’m amazed again & again hearing stories of redemption. You’re right… never give up!!!! Thank you for sharing and encouraging all of us.💛
Thank you for sharing your story. It gives great hope to us Moms of prodigals.
Marsha thanks for sharing. I have 8 kids and two of them are definitely not right with God right now and it is such a hard thing. Probably the hardest thing to wrestle with because of the times we are in. I know that God has been asking me to trust them with Him. Consistent prayer and standing firm in our values will probably make the biggest difference. In fact, one time I had a dream we were all raptured. But while we were there, the people behind were all I could think about at first. So I totally understand how you feel. Lord Jesus, we pray now for Gavyn. We pray that His heart will be touched and softened to Your Word and Spirit. In Jesus Name.
Amen
I said a prayer for Gavyn. God answers prayers, blessings to you.
I understand Marsha. I pray for family and friends. I will pray for Gavyn
Thank you
Praying for your godson Gavyn💛💛
Praying for Gavyn. That the Lord will draw him back to Himself. 🙏
I look for the return of Jesus with the anticipation of a child at Christmas. I know my gifts are waiting for me and I can't wait to open them. Just as Jesus will have the gift of being in his presence for eternity and being able to praise him for his sacrifice is a gift I look forward to each day I wait for him.
I can’t wait for Jesus to come get us, it’s definitely like the days of Noah! Crazy stuff out there!
Come Lord Jesus!
I’m homesick 😢
Me too!
When I use to travel for work, I would get SO EXCITED the night before my travel day back home. I would clean up my mess & jam all my things in my suitcase. I was so looking forward to “going home!”
That’s how I feel now (w/o the pressure to pack!🤩)
We serve a Mighty God!! So thankful He is totally in control of the winds, the waves, and the end times we are living in now. Don’t be anxious for anything because He still has us in the palms of His hands. Because we have Jesus, then we have everything we need. God bless you brothers and sisters and I hope you have an amazing day. 🦋
Amen 🙏🏻
I Iove that people are sharing their dreams and visions. Please everyone continue! I, myself, have an adult daughter that has taken her time in growing up and has made many, many bad decisions concerning relationships in her adult life. It took her going through a divorce ( after finding out that her 1 month husband had a girlfriend on the side) to finally shake her up enough to get right with God. I'd gone through something similar and explained that the toughest, most heart wrenching experiences are actually the ones that create the most growth and wisdom. Soon after this, she told me of a dream she had. She said that everyone was standing outside waiting for Jesus. She decided to go into the house for a moment to grab some chocolate. When she came back out, she couldn't find me and everyone was gone. That was the whole dream. I'm assuming it was a warning to her basically to focus on what's really important (God) and not distract herself with everything else. My beautiful, shallow daughter needed a kick in the rear. It's now been 5 years and she has matured by leaps and bounds. She's still single but she knows now to let God do the picking for a future spouse and she's rededicated herself to God. We are working on my husband now....
Beautiful! Enjoyed this!
Church this morning, and our Pastor preached from Luke 17:20-37, the one will be taken and the other left…. He announced after he preached that the Church would be investing in a school so parents can get their kids out of the public school system as soon as possible. We live in an area where this probably makes sense…. But. This post this morning confirmed what my heart was feeling… as they were talking about big checks. It seemed rather, “I know Christ will return again.” I did not hear, “looking for and welcoming His return.” I felt the later. Interpreting the Scriptures rightly is so important, especially in Church, where even the Spirit can be grieved. I sensed a spin. But I am happy for them. These are the days of Noah, and people want a way out, especially for their kids. But there is no way out, only up. That is how it felt. But I was mostly alone. 🌻
Kris
It kind of reminds me of a certain TV pastor who claims that Jesus is coming back soon but at the same time keeps asking for people to send in large amounts of money in order to build an expensive new building to broadcast the words of the "prophets". Hmmmmm
A megachurch near me in Northern Cal is working at raising millions for a fancy park adjoined to the church supposedly for the kids. It feels to me like they are just trying to get more rich people to join the church. Im having a hard time finding a church that actually focuses on Jesus. That's why people like Jimmy Evans is so important to me!
Yes, thank-you green eyed girl and Justin. You got it. Perhaps there is a fine line between continuing on with our lives to plan for the future as best we can, and a growing excitement that we can hardly contain because we know that the time to be home with Jesus is near. I don’t really blame them as there is tons of parents with young kids in Church who want to go on looking ahead…. What else can they do? But I am looking at the signs of the times on a regular bases, which are everywhere, and I see a different future coming soon, in Heaven, attending a very special Wedding! Shouldn’t we be shouting it from the mountaintops? The seats in the Church will be empty, for the most part. No more Church! No more School! No more nothing. We are gone!! As a Pastor, what do they say, what do they do; keep living, keep planning, keep building? I suppose yes, but they might want to take 5 minutes here and there to reflect on the Scriptures and current events, about just how close we may actually be, to the end, the very end. We don’t want the thief in the night to catch us by surprise…. Do we? Do they? Just a thought, that I had, as I sat in my pretribulation Church this morning, listening…. 🌻
Great perspective 😊. There is that fine line. Kind of like being a kid with Christmas morning coming up ha ha. We know we have the monster of all presents waiting. Makes it hard to focus on other stuff sometime. Some of the things I try to do are for the people that will be saved afterwards. I tithe and offer a good bit toward Talking Bibles for instance. Many of the people in other countries don’t necessarily read or write but understand these Bibles that talk out loud in their own language. After the church is harpotzo’d out, a lot of people will be suddenly be a lot more open to the message. Some of these things hopefully will be out there as a message and testimony later on. There are many other great Christian causes and movements too. As long as we are chugging along here I’ll keep dreaming of that day and doing my little part of the puzzle as well as possible. Looking forward to no more pain, no more sin or evil and that wonderful, loving Fathers face smiling into mine 😊✝️😎
Yes! I love what you've said. We're all straddling a line of living in this world, preparing for next week, next year, etc but also feeling like our time on this earth is temporary. I keep hearing about the year 2025 or even sooner. Oh do I hope it's only a few years away!
myself, I hope for just a few months wait.
That would be amazing!
Me too! 🙏
Kris, I love how you explain things. You really make one see the true meaning of linking Bible prophecies. Sure, it is going to be scary and we see the things that are taking place, but then we soon forget that these events must all happen to fulfill what is written. Sometimes we forget how we are going to feel once we are outa here. We focus on the reality of what we know and experience instead of focusing on what is about to happen in the heavenly realms. That is why I love reading all of this group's conversations. So encouraging to each of us. We have so many things in common with each other on here, our wayward children, our natural fears of things that we see happening, the problems that we each have in our own lives. May God bless each one reading this today.
So true, thanks Hala! Love your quiet Heart. You sing a song to Jesus with every word you write…. I love to listen, and the Lord does too!! 🌻
Great points Kris........ It's a sort of controlled enthusiasm when looking all around us..... Keep looking up as we're moving forward toward the finish line encouraging those in our circle of influence.
Thanks Cornel, and all, for the encouragement. That thing on Sunday threw me a bit. The enemy loves to get me going…. Lookin up! Encouraging those in our circle of influence…. Love it. This is the Day that the Lord has made!! Each day has enough trouble of its own. Best to not get too far ahead of ourselves. Keeping it simple, with Jesus by my side, and the Body of Christ close at hand. Love to all! 🌻
❤️
Thank you for sharing. We are certainly in the time of apostasy in regards to so much of the church falling away. This would be another example what you are taking about. It is very hard to find right teaching especially. Greg Laurie here has always been on with his Bible teaching. One of my all time favorites is Chuck Missler (passed away now) but has such great materials in Koininea House , though I usually pick through a lot of the different topics from YouTube. If you listen to radio much, I’ve found most everything on CSN radio to be solid (Christian Satellite Network). Lots of good teachers and materials. I really like Jimmy Evans and the practical advice he offers in his messages here. Just wanted to note a few of the solid teachers I enjoy in a time of apostasy. It is so prevalent through so much of the church and even down to the local level. Praying that God continues to give you that good discernment you mention above when looking at all these different things. And God bless you too.
Justin
Thank you for your suggestions about good pastor/teachers. I've listened to dozens and have narrowed it down to a handful that I actually trust. My experiences with " church" have never been very good . I have too much discernment and a highly evolved b.s meter which makes me
need truth and not just a feel good message.
Ive gone to a few because i loved the worship but then realized the pastor was completely off base. I love Jesus but have never loved the church. To be honest, I've given up searching and this is why books, online and tv teaching is so important to me.
I know exactly how you feel because I feel the same way! I don't go to church, I am 100% on line.
I'm so glad to see that you and some of the other believers are willing to be discerning and not just accept the feel good or right sounding teachings (with fatal flaws). Jesus said not to be deceived with a big emphasis so being discerning and critical of the content is wise in these times. It is great that you have some good ones that are trustworthy and reliable. I'm sorry to hear that about your church experiences. It is somewhat similar to what we have experienced here, even in our small town Montana setting. Contrary teaching to things clearly in the Bible. We have finally found a small church that seems to have their ducks generally in a row and with some really good folks. Looking back, we have lovingly confronted pastors/people at certain times about things and sometimes that's all you can do when they won't correct. I would encourage you that perhaps some of these places/people lovingly need correction. It would appear that God has given you a gift there that might be helpful for some of these groups or churches. I very much admire it when people will kindly but firmly stand up against bad teaching/teachers, even when it is a bit uncomfortable. Proverbs talks about the wise being able to accept a rebuke and learning. I think there are still a few wise people out there that would find your insights helpful. It might even come down to just doing small home-church type things but I think God has some great things He can work through you to some of the other believers in your area. God's peace and blessings to you this Sunday.
Such insight, Justin. Thank you for your nice words!
Montana......can I ask where? I am asking because I grew up in Montana :)
We are up in Kalispell, NE corner in the mountains. My wife and I have both lived here our whole lives so far.
A very encouraging word. Thanks. 🌻
Discernment, yes. It is a strange gift at times. God gave it to His Body, His Church. You know something is wrong, or off, or different, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. The words take time, but they won’t stop coming. To sort it out, put it before the Lord and wait on Him for the big picture… That’s how I see the Prophets of old. And then they blast it out!! They were so full of power from on High that we are still listening to them today!! Just imagine what must have been going through their minds, their Hearts, as they watched, and listened…. to the world around them, then. They were such a gift, those Prophets of old… and still are. On course for one eternal future, with Jesus, the King of glory….. 🌻
Hi Green eyed girl, add Pastor John Lindell to your list of trustful, amazing pastors. He was our pastor for 21 years in MO and now I enjoy his online sermons every Sunday - https://jamesriver.online/sermons/ He's currently teaching Acts - he's an expository pastor.💛
Thank you Kari for the suggestion. I will look up his sermons. I actually have one of his books on my shelf but never got around to reading it. I'll have to read that one. Thanks again!
Brother Jimmy great insight as always. I have been looking at the forest but, in these days, the
individual trees of Bible signs are overwhelming. I have notice that Prophetic history can been
seen in three stages like in gardening a seed then a young plant and finally the harvest. Gen 3:15
tells of the seed then Isa 53 tells of the young plant lastly Christ in His own parable said the
harvest is the end of the world. Interestingly there is roughly a 2000 year time span between
each Adam to Noah (flood), 2000 years from Abraham to Christ (the cross), lastly Christ to now the last 2000 years. This is the end of the end there is nothing beyond the harvest. Sin bottoms
out about every 2000 years.
Amen, Amen and Amen again!
