Going today after church! Feel fortunate to be going, was pretty much sold out when I looked for availability on Tuesday. Good to see so much interest in this movie. Probably will be one of the first movies banned after the trumpet call.

Glad you enjoyed the movie, David! We’re about to leave for the theatre ourselves. Thankful to hear that Mossad (?) carried out a successful drone attack. To hear Iran tell it, Israel is out to damage their every roof :)

Good morning Tipping Point Family, and thank you Pastor Jimmy for this post particularly. I have been in the process of creating a new "timeline" of the end times and this helped me in a few areas that aren't specifically stated. It isn't possible to create a timeline that is exactly right because some things just aren't stated with specificity, but it is still helpful (and educational/fun) to be able to look at something and get a visual of how things might happen. Anyhow, this helped with a few of those.

Two prayer requests I know of that came about over the last few days:

*Kari and her family are battling a tough bug, including her Mama. Please pray over them for quick healing.

*Art Martin is facing uncertainty and is needing wrapped in our prayers as he is serving as caretaker for his uncle in the end-stages of COPD. His faith is as strong as humanly possible and he is still praising through fear and tears, but we all have a point where we will cry out "Give me faith when I have no more to give Lord." Praying over others is a blessing I am the most grateful for, but those prayers have to be followed with action as well. First and foremost, please be interceding for Art and his uncle right now, but please think of how we can come alongside him as well in addition to the prayer.

I know others have prayer requests too, so please give them. Repetitive asking is GOOD...God actually tells us to keep asking! Make us a list???👇👇

So true, my friend, and I certainly lift up Miss kari

and Mr. art, and all their family members surrounded by their needs especially little mama.

I know the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God,

so I lift them up to the throne of Jesus, and ask for Jesus to touch them, and heal them, so that God gets the glory, and so their testimony is about how God intervened.

Would love to see your timelines (if possible) when you're finished.😊 Thanks for the prayer updates. Always pray for those you list. And your right..repetitive asking is good. Thanks for the reminder as sometimes I feel like I'm bugging God and don't want to bring others down by requests. Hope your family are all doing well. Any new prayer request needed for you, my friend? 🤗

Of course! It is taking a little longer than I was hoping because of my case load, but I made some good progress on it this last week. Still a little ways to go but I am enjoying it. I have a couple of others that would like it as well, but I am also going to post it on that blog-thing under my profile here as a download for anyone who would like it, or to help critique it. Timelines for the end times are almost impossible to get 100% correct because some of it is a guess, but much of it is able to be graphed I think. I'm just basing it off of Pastor's Mark and PJimmy.

Excited to see the movie when it comes out later to purchase online. I wanted to share a remarkable couple of dreams that I had a couple nights ago. I had been praying intensely as I am trying to line up new work in my new area we moved. I am also navigating some natural fears-doubts about a number of relatively minor things, though they can pile up if not resolved. I had prayed some rather strong pleading with the Lord and went to bed. Got up and stoked the fire middle of the night, went back to bed. Had two different dreams early in the morning. The first, Jesus came and met me, face to face. I paused for a second and then rushed to embrace Him. It was an overwhelming outpouring of emotion that came rushing out of me as we embraced for several seconds and I was just embracing Him intensely. All this emotion was just pouring out of me. It was overwhelmingly intense. I couldn’t even talk about it the next day because it was so emotionally overwhelming. When you are holding onto Him like that, you realize total and complete fulfillment, love, acceptance, joy and fully knowing/fully being known. In my waking world, sometimes I have a hard time knowing what I am feeling. It seems there is some sort of mechanism in me that seems to cause me to detach from my emotions or certain ones at certain times. He also did something I would never have thought of. He showed me how much I love Him. It’s one of those things your mind kind of has an idea of, at least for me, but you have a hard time feeling it the way we will when we are always with Him. Probably a bad explanation. In any case, I couldn’t even talk about it for most of a day because I couldn’t keep my composure. Near the end of our time hugging, He showed me that His return is literally right at the door. In that setting, it seemed like a mere second or two that the door was going to open. In His perspective, I don’t know the earth equivalent except that it really is a very short time away. In the second dream, I went to heaven. It was definitely a lesser version of heaven than what I’m sure we will see. But it was a very nice time and pleasant there. I did seem to notice that there was less people there than I expected. I’m sure however by the time we do get there, there will be a large multitude brought in by the end of it all. So I have a lot more peace than I have lately after the face to face meeting with Him again. It just puts everything in perspective. I’ve met Him probably 3-4 times in dreams and neither of us has yet to say a single audible word. But it hasn’t been necessary either because there is a full understanding and knowing between us. It is not necessary to speak because you know the feelings and thoughts of each other completely. I’m sure there will be plenty of speaking later, it is just an incredible experience. And being directly with Him, He is really meeting me in these face to face dreams and it is all I want to do, is be with Him. Nothing on earth comes close to the experience. Anyways, I am hoping that the share is uplifting and encouraging. I would encourage you to ask Him to directly meet you or speak to you or show you things, whether in visions or dreams or in person. I did that night and He met that request immediately and I really was in need of it. He’s at the door friends and wishing you all a wonderful Maranantha today.

This brought tears and encouragement to me! What amazing dreams! I long for him to rescue us so! I guess there’s just more work for us to do!

Expand full comment

I am glad it was encouraging. It was really helpful for me as it makes Him seem so close all the time right now. For all the worldly things we have to deal with, just that He is already walking right with us all the time. For me, it made everything else fade away and it still seems like that when I look out there or am out there. It was more helpful than anything I could ever imagine..

Thank you, dear brother, for asking for Jesus to come to you. Thank you Jesus, for being faithful to show Justin your complete love and acceptance. Thankful that you shared Justin, and how it encourages us! You describe His love so beautifully. Wow!

The Lord woke me in the middle of the night last night with a burden to confess past specific sins that I am so ashamed of, which still seem to condemn me, as if God just can’t quite forgive something so bad. I believe that He woke me in order to finally put this to rest. They have been confessed before (many times), and it is lack of faith on my part that I can go on, knowing I’m forgiven. But, the consequences of my sin will bother me until I’m made whole in heaven.

Thank you so very much for loving us in this community enough to encourage (and rarely and graciously correct us), Justin! We love you 💙

I'm going to jump in here Blondie. I've held on to old sins too. Don't you think God is up there shaking his head at all of us saying " enough already!". 😄 Every single believer has a multitude of sins in their pasts. We are forgiven! Those old sins have been thrown in the fire and incinerated long, long ago. I know you know this and I'm glad God woke you up to tell you this once again. 🤗

Thank you my Jessie. You’re precious. Love you 💕

Expand full comment

Oh, precious Blondie sin shall not have any dominion over you anymore. You’re washed clean by the blood of Christ.

the battle ground of our walk in Christ is our mind, and that “accuser of the brethren” ( lucifer)

is constantly going before the throne, bringing up our past sins.

When he is standing there, God would have to look past Jesus to see him and God doesn’t move.

He doesn’t look around his precious son the perfect sacrifice to listen to the accuser of the brethren. I’m haunted by my past sins as well, but I begin to worship, I turn on Pandora, put on my praise and worship music, and I just praise God through the condemnation, which is exactly what we will do when we get to heaven.

we will be so overcome just like in Justin‘s dream of the love in the how much he cares for us, and we will fall on our faces with the 24 elders and we will worship the only one worthy of our worship.

be encouraged dear sister

Love you too my dear friend 😊. I know what you are talking about, from what you described. The enemy keeps coming against us with accusation and condemnation. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. He may convict our hearts, which is different than accusation and condemnation. Everybody, I think, has “those sins” they are so ashamed of from their past. That make them look something else than who they really are. We all hate to even look back at those times. I sure understand how it makes you feel. But not who you are, not who we are. So glad He sets us free. So glad for your long and faithful friendship here 😊. Sundays blessing my friend.

Oh Justin, that was soooo beautiful! Jesus truly loves you, that's so clear! I also think though that part of him showing himself to you in this way was meant for all our benefit also. WE all need to hear these stories to keep us lifted up and keeping our faith strong. I really needed your story this morning. Thank you dear Justin! My emotions were completely shut off this past week because I was struggling with how I was feeling. For me, I think its a coping mechanism until Im able to fully process things. It truly feels like the enemy is trying to kill my son and as though God is just going to allow this to happen. I thought that God had opened up a door toward saving him and then last minute it was slammed shut. Last minute the insurance company decided not to allow him to get treatment. The thought that keeps circling my brain this morning is that faith isn't real if we're just believers when things are easy and go our way and we're meant to keep our faith strong no matter the situation we're in. My initial reaction is to think " I knew God didn't really care about me or my family". But then I put my destructive thinking behind me and choose faith. I choose Jesus....no matter what happens next. Satan...get the hell away from me and my family. I'm going to trust God. May God bless all of you pouring your hearts out to our father today. 🌷

My sweet Jessie. I'm so sorry that this keeps happening to you. I am praying for y'all. I love you my sweet Sister in Christ. I have faith that God has a perfect plan for your son and that if we all just keep praying for y'all to recieve His wisdom, it will come. Hon, God is good, and He would never hurt you or your son. My heart says that that place is the wrong place. God's will be done.

Hello my friend, thank you for the nice share, and your trials you have been struggling with. That is a great struggle you are talking about. Anything to do with our family is always hitting us in a sensitive spot. I believe you are right, that this was meant to encourage everybody here and that I share this with around my area. I am so sorry that the insurance company chose this perhaps pushing back against them may work. One of our challenges is the faith and perseverance can’t really be fully developed without adverse circumstances. I will be praying for you and your son as you wrestle with that situation God bless you and bring your favor as you seek care for him. I know for a fact that he is holding you close every step of the way.

"One of our challenges is the faith and perseverance can’t really be fully developed without adverse circumstances"

Yes...bullseye. 🎯

We are pushing back with the insurance. And we'll continue to fight this. I guess God's trying to mold me into a warrior woman instead of a doormat. 🙄 And yes, I know his presence is there even in those moments I can't feel him. I'll keep reminding myself. Love to your family Justin!

Amen 🙏 Jessie. In the authority of Jesus’s Name I agree in prayer with you that Satan be rebuked and his hands off of you and your son; y’all are property of the Lord Jesus Christ and no weapon against you will prosper. Satan is a liar .cheater and deceiver and his days and times are short. I get mad at him too and rebuke him out of my life. My body and my apartment. So stay the course and be strong; Satan can not have us or our children. You are the head and not the tail; above and not beneath. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Enjoy your week and keep the Armor of Christ ( our heavenly clothes) on. Love 💕 Sister. He is coming soon.

Love you too my friend. To answer your question, I would think I am one of the last people to be deserving of such an encounter. I have shortcomings in pretty much every department, don't feel like I've earned it or deserve it. I have so many doubts at times or feelings of unworthiness or other littany of things. It is so hard for me to understand His love most of the time, or even accept it because I feel so unworthy. But when He meets you, He peels all that stuff back because you instantly realize how incredible and completely loving and accepting of you He is. Not because of what we do, but because of who we are. We are His children. Like how I view my children - I never love them because of anything to do with their performance. I love them because they are my children. Right or wrong, always love them. It helps me understand and accept it better. I am sorry you are struggling with anger. I have been there many times and it is an island I am always trying to get off during various times of life. I can just tell you that He completely loves and accepts you for who you are and He will faithfully walk with you the whole time you are working on walking away from that burden. I have no question He would show Himself to you, in His time. The Bible says in Hebrews 1 that in the past, He spoke to us through the prophets, at many times, in various ways. But in these last days, He speaks to us through His Son. That was what this was and this promise is for you too. I am the last person you would think of as intimate or close with God on a daily basis. Many other people I know are much more disciplined/deserving. But I love Him deeply, I love His Laws, His righteousness, His goodness. He showed me this clearly, even though it is more of a head thing most of the time than a heart thing, in my everyday consciousness. You have been such an inspiration to me here and seeing your kindness and goodness and I have no question He would meet you or speak to you in His own way that would be tailored just to you. You are far more worthy, as His daughter, of Him seeing you and/or speaking to you directly. I can say this more easily now because of this. And we have that promise in Hebrews for our last days and how He speaks to us. Just wanted to encourage you to ask and keep asking until He meets you. It's helped me see how much more I want to pursue Him and being with Him. It is so worth it.

Thank you Justin. I'm trying to heal from a life time of hurt, and it is so hard. I will keep asking and listening, hoping and praying. I need Him. I love Him. I am working to be worthy. I can tell you one thing, satan doesn't like it. I feel like I'm living in a mine field. Thank you for you loving encouragement Brother. Maranatha!!

Expand full comment

Hey girlie! Verna...feelings are just that....just feelings. I never feel "worthy" either but if God says we're worthy, then we are. PERIOD! We are daughters and sons of the King! And yes, we ARE living on a minefield and the enemy will do everything he can to discourage us and tempt us to doubt our faith. I don't have alot of anger but I do have some unresolved scars from the past that like to rear their ugly heads up when I'm feeling most vulnerable. He knows my Achilles heel are my children. He knows all our weak spots and vulnerabilities. Think of it this way, V....If he weren't attacking you, then you would know he doesn't see you as a threat. Satan is intimidated by you and me and all those those see him for the fraud he is. Just remember God's amazing love for you and kick that creep to the curb. I wanted to use a bad word here but restrained myself! 😂 Big hug here!! ❤️
