Have You herd from God?

With Brother Wilkerson’s revelations on W.N.D. about the looming judgment of the world by the Almighty God, I am interested if anyone else has gotten a Word from our Lord that would be a blessing or a warning to His body.

FWIW, the vivid dreams I had back in early 2000-2002 are beginning to shape in regards to seismic activity.

I had been raised in denominations adhering to the cessation of gifts and no private revelation. I have further studied those doctrines, but still must admit a quandary when faced with a spiritual event and discerning its source.

I’ve found veracity in remaining faithful through Christ, placing emphasis on Scripture, as the Word of God, to check all things.

The seismic events of which I was shown, included something significant with Mt Lassen in CA.; a future no-man’s land from the county of Walla Walla Wa down to Mexico, in a triangular shape, with one leg extending to about Yuma, and the other to the SE corner of Arizona.
I saw volcanic activity in the Coechella Valley (palm Springs to the Salton Sea, including a pyroclastic flow viewed from an area near Joshua Tree looking south emitting from south of the Joshua Tree National park, in the vicinity of the San Andreas Fault from Sky Valley towards the Coachella Valley.
I was told the bloodiest battle in American history would take place at the Battle of Seven Palms. California would face an invasion from the west by the Chinese, while from the south, a Mexican-American political movement would create a new capital in Ca. in Alta CA.
Tsunamis would hit the northwestern US coast, but would flow through valleys in the south approaching the northern coastal areas from the south rather than from the Pacific from my perspective.
A comet would precede the events, with the tail raining meteorites in the SW US. They would fall as though from west to east, but the shower would shift in a northeasterly direction, rather than to a apparent southeasterly direction as they began to hit.
I was shown words in Hebrew, which I did not read or know, but the words were immediately made known to me as His Berith or covenant. I also was shown some alphabet in what I latter think was Sanskrit or Aramaic (I don’t know).

More recently, I know I have been sealed, and preparations are underway for the Provisions for His people.

No matter what happens, he will provide. Some things have been predetermined from eternity past to occur. The agents of those events might alter, but some things are predestined.

The real issue is for us to remain in faith through Christ in all things, so that we might perform the works through faith in Him, which He has prepared to be performed in eternity past. It is far better to turn a cursing into a blessing, than a blessing into a cursing.

If we endure a trial or suffering, thank you, Lord, though faith in Him, all things may be used for good through faith in Him.

Deception will occur, this we know from Scripture.

By remaining in faith through Him, He guides us in all things.

It isn’t necessary for us to know all things. Rather, everything we need to know, He provides, through faith in Christ. Place faith in Him, He controls what is important to be controlled and for every suffering through faith in Him there is a blessing.

With the above things stated, I do not know if Divinely inspired or deception, although for whatever reason they are spiritually perceived. I say this so as not to diminish any work of God, nor to question His Sovereignty, but also not to give undue attention to spiritual deception which definitely does occur.

In regards to His speaking, I believe at times He does communicate with us, in fellowship with Him, by His methods. There is too much synchronicity in random Bible studies converging between different believers from time to time, not to give full glory and acknowledgment to Him, who always glorifies the Son.

I generally do not hold that the Quakers quaking or the Shakers shaking are the manifestation of His Word in all things, but I also see nothing prohibiting His Will and love for His believers for Him to manifest Himself and His Word in what ever fashion He has found to be most appropriate for a situation, fully consistent with His Word.

I also believe spiritual situations may be setup in our spiritual testing, which might not be a foretelling of future events, but for some reason are presented to us. The challenge and proper path is simply to remain obedient to Him, though faith in Christ in all things.

As you know, I have no trouble believing your dreams/visions/insights are from God Holy Spirit.

They are also quite congruent with Dimitru Duduman’s dreams and visions.

Blessed be the name of The Lord.

I think your spiritual insights are quite apt, as well.

Thanks tons for your many contributions on these threads.

Praise God you were able to tune in to God and Trust Scripture and Trust Him vs personal denominational !!!!TRADITIONS!!!!! of man.

Blessings,

This just in from Maurice Sklar,

The Closing of the Gates of Grace
Maurice Sklar
Mar 30, 2009

Tonight I watched as the Holy Spirit gave me a vision.

I saw two massive gate doors – both on the right and the left of the earth. They were made out of gold with precious gems embedded in them. They were positioned over the earth in the spirit realm. On the other side of the gates was heaven. On our side of the gates was the earth suspended in space. Then I saw a mighty angel on each side of the two gates. They were standing as sentries guarding the doorway or portal from the two realms. They each had a large sword in their hands that was on fire and it seemed to spin around perpetually in every direction and it shot these flames out all around them.

I was amazed and awed at their glory and size. They seemed as large as the earth below them. The gates were even larger in size than they were! Both the angels and the gates were glowing as bright as the sun, it seemed. On the heavenly side – light was streaming like a river flowing toward the earth. As I looked into the glorious light, I saw the Lord sitting on His throne in great majesty with many crowns on His head. He had an iron/bronze-looking scepter in his right hand and an old-fashioned-looking harvesting sickle in the other.

Suddenly, I heard His voice. It sounded like a roaring ocean of water and wind as He spoke. I have never heard such a sound before. He said,

“The time has come to close the gates of grace upon the earth. The nations have rejected Me and My Father long enough. Lift the coverings of protection off of those nations that have chosen Babylon over my Kingdom. I will no longer protect them from reaping what they have sown.”

Then the two angels on each side of the golden gate leaves began to move slowly to shut the giant doorway/portal. I noticed that this was a slow process, because I saw the seasons change on earth and some years pass before it was fully closed. As it was closing, I was able to look closer at the river of light that was pouring upon the earth. In it was every blessing and healing grace, forgiveness, unconditional agape love, and the constant flow of angels carrying all these wonderful blessings to the earth.

Right before the gates shut, I heard the Voice of the Lord say,

“Come up here, my Bride, and escape the wrath that is about to be poured out upon the earth.”

I heard a nearly deafeningly loud blast of heavenly trumpets from both those angels at the same time, and suddenly, I saw multitudes of souls – millions and millions of them – ascending out of the earth very fast in a flash of light. The river of light coming through the gates met them in the upper atmosphere of the earth and then reversed itself and all the souls and the river of light went back up out of the earth and into the closing gates back into heaven.

I saw the gates finish shutting completely – at a much faster rate now after the souls from earth had finished going into heaven. Then, it became so dark that I could no longer see the stars even. There was no more river of light flowing down upon the earth. The earth was covered in what looked like white neon hexagon shapes in a web above the earth (please see my teaching “Visions from the Dallas Revival 1985” on my websight) It rapidly became opaque where I could no longer see the earth underneath. I just saw a brownish looking color –like a stagnant pond - where the oceans and land could be seen only a few moments before.

Then, nearly just as fast, the whole earth seemed to be swallowed up in the thickest black darkness I had ever seen. It was like a black hole in the universe. It made the rest of the universe look light in comparison, if I could describe it that way.

I felt so sick and hopeless as I saw this. Then, just like I had heard back in the vision in 1985, I began hearing the screams of millions upon millions of souls that I knew were trapped in that darkness below in the earth. The Holy Spirit then spoke to me and said,

“This is now coming upon the whole earth as a snare and a trap. This is what the nations have chosen. As they have done, so shall it be done to them. As they have cursed, so shall they be cursed. As they have condemned, so shall they be condemned. The time of My wrath shall surely come. The nations shall drink of the wine of the wrath of My cup that I have mixed for them. Woe! Woe! Woe to the earth for the hour of her judgment has surely come! Babylon shall now fall and be consumed by the fire of my wrath.”

Then I realized that these were still events to come in the future. But I also somehow knew that it was imminent. Once again, I saw the doors of the gates of grace still remained partially open. I knew that this was our present time now. I was so relieved to see the river of light flowing into the earth again. But, the doors were closing fast! They weren’t fully opened as they were even a few years ago. I knew that we didn’t have much more time. The Lord spoke again so loudly and powerfully:

“Warn them! Time is very short! You must preach the gospel and work while it is still daylight. The night comes very soon, and no man can then harvest in the time of grace ever again. The doors of grace are beginning to close. REPENT! REPENT! REPENT O Earth before the river of light stops flowing! Then you will face Me, not as Merciful Savior, but as the Judge of all the earth. Who will hear and heed the final call of the silver trumpet’s clarion of Grace, Grace!

My Spirit will not strive with sinful man forever. Come to Me now while there is still a little time left. I am coming soon for My overcoming Bride. Keep your lamps burning … Watch and Pray … I AM AT THE DOORS OF GRACE! They are closing quickly … Come into My ark of safety … come into the Bridal chamber and the doors will SHUT … I AM COMING FOR YOU, MY BELOVED !!!”

I pray that we all take heed to God’s prophetic warning and be ready when he appears for His glorious, waiting Bride.

Love in our Messiah,
Maurice Sklar

He did a sermon from Dec. 2008 in which a lot of this was covered. It was also the subject of a devotional from earlier this month, and his son, Gary, preached on it in his 3/14 sermon that is available as a podcast.

I have had several unusual dreams. I really think G-D is trying to get the attention. One of my dreams was me at a very large party. There were thousands of people happy and eating. They started to serve dessert on large trays. Suddenly I was removed from the group finding myself in a room watching the party, as if watching a movie. I suddenly realized the people were be feed lies. They were going to be destroyed by those lies but the were very happy and didn't seem to care. It panned back as the people surged forward to be first to enter this large white house. I was yelling at them to stop they were going to be devoured. I new their fate and was very sad..than I was awake.

There is more MSS evidence to support the NT than ANY OTHER writing of antiquity.

Currently there are OVER 30,000 cataloged manuscripts for the NT alone. And these are only the ones that are cataloged, meaning they have been studied noted, cross-referenced, assigned dates and reasonable source information and are filed away for reference purposes.

There are more than 25,000 MORE manuscripts that have yet to be cataloged, because there are so many more found each year that archeology cannot keep up with the finds.

And each time a new MSS is cataloged it in no way detracts from the understanding or meaning of the Bible that we read today. When the copper scroll was found in 1948 it contained the entire book of Isaiah and upon close examination it reflected EXACTLY what our current copies of Isaiah read.

To understand how the Bible was copied by scribes is a fascinating thing. It just one jot, or tittle was written in error the ENTIRE document was burned and began anew. Every time the name of God was written it required ceremonial bathing before proceeding again. A scribe's life was one based completely upon perfect copying of documents. nothing less was accepted.

Logically speaking, if you accept the MMS evidence for Plato and Socrates then you MUST accept the Bible as accurate, for the evidence for the NT alone is over 20 TIMES more in volume.

here is a very brief example of what I am saying

The closest MMS evidence for Plato is dated over 1300 years AFTER he died!
The closet bulk MMS evidence for the teachings of Christ is estimated to be less than 100 years and some, speculate that some MSS evidence is ~40 years from the date of the original author's writings.

Those are the facts.
not opinion.

be blessed

The extant manuscript sources for the New Testament differ substantially from each other, and more importantly, the earlier manuscripts are no longer available for comparison. Much of the New Testament, in particular the gospels, were written using a variety of earlier source materials, from which the authors picked and chose as they saw fit from whatever assortment of sources they happened to have access to. All we know about the current collection of writings known as the New Testament is that they are substantially identical to some writings dating to a century or more after the events described. We know nothing about how much difference there is between contemporary accounts and these earliest extant manuscripts, nor do we know anything about what information was simply ommitted from the earliest extant manuscripts because the authors or their sponsors didn’t like the religious or political implications of some of the material. The process of canonization of the current standard collection of books, and the attendant omission of many others, was clearly a political process.

Read a book about the British colonization of India that was written by eyewitness participants in the process, and then a read a book written 150 years later by someone else about the same events, or a similar pair of books re the European colonization of land occupied by American Indians, and you’ll get a realistic picture of the likely degree of similarity between the eyewitness accounts of the life of Jesus, and the “New Testament”.

No rational person has ever claimed that the current versions we have of the works of Plato and Socrates are substantially identical to anything written by either of those men themselves or by any of their contemporaries who heard them speaking. They are what we have, and nothing more. We have no idea how much or little resemblance they may bear to actual words written or spoken by Plato and Socrates. We find value in these writings based on what we see in the currently available versions, not based on a belief that they are substantially unchanged from the writings or speakings of these particular men.

Re Isaiah, nothing is known about who he was or his purposes in writing the precursors of what are now known as chapters 1-39 of the Book of Isaiah, or whether parts of these writings are based on earlier sources. Chapters 40-66 are known to have been written 150-200 years later, by at least two different unknown authors at two or more different times. How or why they got tacked on to the earlier writings of Isaiah is unknown, but presumably because somebody wanted to lend an air of authority to the newer writings, and didn’t feel that honest attribution of their authorship would be accepted as authoritative. That later recopyings of the entire collection are nearly identical to each other is hardly surprising, but the origins are what really matter if one is trying to claim some sort of divine authority to these writings.

Devoted Scientologists may well continue to accurately recopy/republish the works of L. Ron Hubbard for the next 2000 years, but that hardly tells us anything about whether the contents reflect anything that should be regarded as “truth”. Erroneous information that is carefully preserved from generation to generation is still erroneous.
