You too.. thanks
Yet, Scripture exhorts us to
REDEEM THE TIME.
LUB
Here is something for all to think about today.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Oh what remorse we shall feel at the end of our lives, when we look
back upon the great number of instructions and examples afforded
by God and the Saints for our perfection, and so carelessly received
by us! If this end were to come to you today, how would you be
pleased with the life you have led this year? -St. Francis de Sales
Mercifully, He has enabled me to do a lot better than I might have even a year ago.
Sadly, not as well as I'd preferred to have done.
But long desert experiences somewhat seem to minimize one's tendencies to sin with the usual abandon one might otherwise be tempted toward.
Thankfully, have made more progress on being Loving regardless; graciously forgiving regardless; hoping regardless etc.--all BY HIS GRACE and enablement.

Still like that quote.

A Generation Ends
01/01/05
On March 28, 1964, the largest quake ever recorded in US history occurred in Prince William Sound, Alaska. This 9.2 quake started a 40-year countdown to the next great 9.0 quake which would occur in Sumatra on December 26, 2004. Had the epicenter of the 1964 quake been in the open ocean instead of being shielded within the sound, tsunami would have devastated not only America, but Asia and the entire Pacific Rim. Tidal waves in Alaska were recorded as high as 67 meters (over 200 feet), in comparison to South Asias recent 33 foot tsunami. If this Alaskan quake had occurred just a few miles to the west, outside the sound, most of the coastline of the United States would have suffered catastrophic flooding as massive tidal waves beat against the shores; but instead of hundreds of thousands of casualties, only 125 people lost their lives in 1964.
It was only through Gods grace that America was shielded during the beginning of this generation of seismic restraint and intervention from major judgments. The timing of the Prince William Sound quake was a prophetic parable, not meant to be understood until the closing of Christmas, 2004, when the second 9.0 quake in 40 years would shake the globe.
Now lets look ahead to 1999, and hear the sound of accelerated warnings, echoes of storm clouds gathering on the horizon. In September, 1999, we published a vision of a great seismic judgment in California, an earthquake so large that new bodies of water were created inland from tsunami, causing freeways to end abruptly into newborn lakes.
After publishing the vision in September, and publicly announcing that I would be arriving in Los Angeles from the Philippines on October 16, 1999 to intercede with other Christians in the area for California, a large 7.2 quake shook Southern California only seven hours after my plane arrived at the LAX, the strongest quake I have ever personally experienced. I could literally see waves rippling across the earth in the middle of the desert, as if I was standing in the sea. Little damage was done by the 7.2 quake; there were no new lakes, no collapsed buildings, and only limited structural damage near the epicenter in Joshua Tree, California. As in 1964, God intervened in the magnitude and epicenter of this quake.
Now lets take a look at 2002, as waves of warning ripple to Alaska. At the beginning of 2002, we began to receive a series of visions and prophetic words concerning an approaching great quake in Alaska, a quake exceeding 9.0 which would cause massive damage along the US West Coast. We issued a warning that a great Alaskan quake would occur prior to the end of 2002. As the end of 2002 approached, on November 2 a large 7.4 quake shook Northern Sumatra, followed within less than 24 hours by a great 7.9 Alaskan quake along the Denali Fault Line on November 3. The epicenter was an isolated national park north of Prince Edward Sound, thus, the quake did very little damage. As in 1964 and 1999, God intervened and angelically shielded the nation.
Now lets move forward to 2004, and look at the great Sumatran quake, also known as the Christmas quake. Just as Christmas symbolizes Christs first coming, so this 9.0 quake symbolizes his second coming.
On 11/11/04, shortly after Arafat was pronounced dead in France, I received a vision of a great earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia (full account published in our 11/11/04 report, prior to the Sumatra quake).
Summary of vision: I was taken in the Spirit to a high mountain in Indonesia, and began to prophecy to a predominately Christian village that Gods judgment was about to fall on their nation. But instead of heeding the prophetic word and preparing, they began to mock the word of the Lord, just as many US Christians mocked the word in 1999 and 2002.
But as they were mocking, the ground began to shake and a small ripple in the ocean appeared, creating a small wave. They jeeringly said, Is this all?! But because they mocked Gods grace in lessening the magnitude of the first quake, a larger quake shook the island, and a tidal wave appeared so big that as it struck the hills a thunderous splash rose into the air, perhaps a thousand feet high (this would take approximately a 200 foot wave, whereas during storms in the Philippines I have witnessed 10 foot waves striking concrete breakers, resulting in 50 foot splashes, or roughly 5-times the height of the wave).
Within less than 24-hours after the tsunami vision, a 7.5 quake shook Indonesia, and tsunami warnings began to laxly circulate like rumors along the Sumatran coast. Then, within less than an hour a 6-inch tsunami gently lapped against the shore. It is reported that among the handful of people who actually heard the tsunami warning, many of them were angry with officials for releasing the advisory because they had to 'inconveniently' leave their homes and shops.
But on December 26, no tsunami alerts were issued after a 9.0 quake sent a three-story wall of water rippling across the Indian Ocean. Although God in his mercy decreased the size of the tsunami from 200 feet (such as Alaska 1964) to 33 feet, we were warned that greater waves are still coming unless there is repentance. We have been prophetically warned that some of the future quakes could reach as high as 9.7 in Indonesia, Polynesia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. A great area of concern is the Pacific between New Zealand, Polynesia and the Antarctic, where I recently had a vision of a great tsunami which dwarfed anything mankind has ever seen, outside of the great flood.
It is not a coincidence that an 8.1 quake shook Macquarie Island three days prior to the 9.0 Sumatra quake. Mark this area, for it needs much prayer. As a matter of fact, I feel strongly directed to take an intercessory team from New Zealand in the Spring to pray for this part of the world, it is really that urgent.
If you are an intercessor and feel like you are supposed to be a part of this prayer team, or would to support this intercessory mission to the South Pacific, please contact me as soon as possible. Do not underestimate the power of prayer, which can calm the seas and turn 500 foot tsunami into gentle 5 inch waves.
From 1999 to 2004, if you closely examine the progression and pattern of the above earthquakes, you will notice a sobering warning to the United States. Note that in 2002, the large 7.4 Northern Sumatra quake was almost immediately followed by a great Alaska quake. These quakes during 1964, 1999 and 2002 were only types and shadows of greater events yet to come. Although everything prophesied shall come to pass, nations can still be shielded, magnitudes and epicenters can be altered, and lives can be saved if we examine the fabric of what is actually being said by heaven, and act upon the directives of the Holy Spirit in humility, repentance and lightning obedience.
Across the globe on New Years Eve, it is reported that most celebrations were replaced with prayer vigils following the great Asian quake, and even the secular media reported the quake as being an event of biblical proportions. On the first day of 2005, President Bush ordered flags to be lowered at half mass across the United States. As eyes around the world are lifted up towards heaven in search of assistance and answers, we pray that this will be the beginning of repentance and revival in many nations.
There are many types of generations, and within this report we have dealt chiefly with one of them: a generation of seismic warnings and restraint from 1964 to 2004. But there is another type of generation; a generation which will end 40 years after Jerusalem and the Temple Mount were restored to Israel in 1967. Between now and 2007, many changes are going to take place across the earth; internationally, politically, geologically; entire maps are going to change in some parts of the world, unless there is repentance and orchestrated prayer for some of these geological hot spots which are simmering and ready to erupt.
Just as the great Alaskan quake in 2002 was preceded by a large Sumatran quake, we have been forewarned that another great Alaska quake is approaching. The 2002 quake along the Denali Fault was only a foreshadow of a larger one to come, and the 1999 Joshua Tree quake was just a fire-drill of something greater ahead. Yet, within all of these warnings is hope; faith can move mountains, turn the floods into dry land and turn rivers of lava into fountains of life. The hand of God can turn back the tide of approaching judgment, calm the waves, and shield entire nations if we honor him, humble ourselves, repent, seek his face, and turn from our wicked ways while there is yet still time (II Chronicles 7:14).

SHIITE MUSLIM SEES JESUS!!!
AND IS SHOWN THE PRETRIBULATION RAPTURE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Out of His great love, God is mercifully dealing with the Muslim people in supernatural and irresistible ways, no doubt because they are in such religious and cultural bondage. There have been many documented cases of Jesus personally appearing to Muslims, identifying Himself, and telling them they must believe. For example, He appeared to an entire classroom of Muslim students on the Arabian peninsula, and I have personally met two Iranian girls, now Christian missionaries in their own country, whose mother had this happen to her.
Because of these verified instances, I give special credence to and take especially seriously the story below.
Last night I spoke with a former Shiite Muslim from Iran who had this experience. For security purposes, I will call him Mohammed. He was living on the West coast of the United States. One day in 1988, he had a night vision, or dream, and Jesus appeared to him. Evidence of this reality is that the man was miraculously converted to Christ and has been a Spirit-filled Christian ever since.
Just a few months later, Mohammed had another vivid night vision, this time about the pre-tribulation rapture. The Lord actually allowed him to experience the rapture and showed him in what city he would be living in when it happened and who he would be with at the time. (The dramatic reality of the first vision gives credence to the reality of the second.)
In the vision the rapture happened in a certain Midwestern city that I will not name. He was with his Muslim uncle, who was left behind in tears, because the uncle suddenly realized that everything Mohammed had told him was true, and the tribulation was about to start.
Mohammed waited, not understanding how this would all happen. But two years later he surprisingly got a telephone call from this uncle who asked him to move to that same Midwestern city and manage his store! He did, and he is there now in that city where it was shown that he will be raptured.
Mohammed told me last night that in the rapture vision he and his uncle appeared to be the same age as they are right now. Mohammed is very knowledgeable of the Bible and is, in fact, a teacher. For the above and mostly biblical reasons, he believes the rapture is absolutely imminent, although he will not speculate exactly when. He is also saddened that so few pastors are talking and teaching about it, leaving most flocks in the dark.
This is just one more evidence among many that Jesus is coming very, very soon!

A friend reported to me this astonishing testimony she heard on television by Bible teacher Billye Brim, on December 28, 2000. Billye Brim is an outstanding woman of God and teacher. She is a friend of Barbara Richmond, and the two have ministered together.
The following happened in the lives of people whom Billye knows personally - Steve and Rhonda Warren.
Rhonda's cousin, in his 20s, developed a brain tumor. His family and friends prayed earnestly for his healing. At first his condition improved a little, then his condition grew worse and finally, on artificial life support, he died. The doctor confirmed that he was dead.
The doctors approached the young man's parents and asked if they would donate his organs for transplants, to save other people's lives. The parents said, "We can't answer that. That is totally opposite to what we were praying for."
The doctor reiterated the great need for organs for transplants. The parents said, "Let us go home and pray about it."
The parents went home and prayed. Meanwhile, the hospital put the young man's body in cold storage to keep his temperature very, very low to preserve the organs.
After three days of praying, the parents returned to the hospital and said to the doctor, "We have prayed about it, and we are finally willing to let you have your request, BUT " the mother said, "I just have to kiss him one more time, before you take the organs. And I can't kiss him when he is so cold. Can you warm him up?"
The hospital staff warmed up the young man's body. When his mother kissed him, his eyes suddenly fluttered open, and he grabbed his father's hand and squeezed it!
The parents learned that while the young man was clinically dead, his spirit went to heaven. He saw his sister there. She had been young when she died, and she was now grown up. He then was introduced to his older sister, now in heaven, a sister he did not even know he had. He did not know that his mother had previously had a miscarriage. The baby is now in heaven, fully grown!
The young man saw the Lord Jesus, and Jesus said to him, "You go back and tell people that I am coming very, very soon."
The young man said to the Master, "They know that."
Jesus quickly replied, "No, they don't know that. You go and tell them I am coming VERY, very soon."
(Not sure of some spellings, nor exactly when this happened. If anyone has more information, please let me know.)
THANKS TONS AND TONS.
Much appreciate your kind words.
I have, sadly, heard those words used by so many arrogant preacher and evangelist and other flesh driven RELIGIOUS leaders, they have tended to end up a bit tarnished in my . . . feelings about them.
But I do recognize a very valid Biblical truth and principle involved in them.
God's best to you and yours in the New Year.
LUB, LUB, LUB, LUB,
Qx
I don't know if you have loved ones or Believer who would be interested in and/or likely to profit from the handful of posts I've just put up--but please feel free to ping to them those you feel led to ping!
Am continuing to feel a somewhat slow, somewhat subtle yet quietly intense sense that all this IS BEING RACHETTED UP--probably faster than we suspect.
What's your sense? Do you sense anything about the Sumatra area or other areas of the Pacific? I do not believe that the 8.X quakes are done. I believe we will have more of them--at least in the Pacific within 60 days. Perhaps in the same area even or Japan, Alaska and/or the South Seas as one of the posts seems to indicate.
I'd love to have a spiritual sensing check of all those hereon who have such giftings, sensitivities.
LUB,
Blessings,
I've been protected from anguish about the results of the thing - it was retribution by the Lord God. Sometimes people forget that the worst sins - the sins most offensive to God - are spiritual sins - and there is tremendous spiritual evil in that area. Re the "touch not" verse - in an intercessory prayer group I used to go to, I was once moved to pray "Purge us with hyssop!" Not long after that, a person in the group, who used to like to obnoxiously get "in my face" about stuff, had a family mishap, and tried to pray a curse on me! The Lord used that verse to comfort and assure me.
Quix I have been having dreams that replay in my waking life since I was nine.
I cannot predict what dreams will happen I just know when they re live themselves out in my waking life that oh I had this happen (exactly) in such and such dream and I get a feeling that comes over me that I do not know how to explain.
The Last two weeks I have been daily having these deja vues making the feeling I can't put into words to describe flowing over me quite often.
It is not scary and I feel at peace but never have had so much actiity going on. It is simple things such as picking up dog doo and turning to have someone come out to say something ect. exactly as in the dream that when the feeling comes over me I know exactly what will transpire in the next few frames of life at that moment....
Something is up I don't know what but something is up....I will trust my faith in Jesus that he will handle whatever it is and I will pay attention.
My religion has a slightly different view of the rapture, I believe, but the good people end up in the same place.
For what it's worth (probably nothing), I had a dream last night with three "panels". The first two I can't remember now, but had something to do with a disaster. The third was the word "Monday" like on a billboard. Probably just a dream, not a vision, and I'm not even sure to which monday it was referring.
Thanks for the ping!
Certainly,
Do you have any spiritual sense on the next 60 days vis a vis the quakes?
If one attempts to take a strict literal/chronological view to Genesis, many inconsistencies seem appear. For instance, in 1:2 it says the Spirit of God
hovered over the waters, yet these waters are not created yet. In chapter 1, Adam and Eve are created at the same time, whereas in chapter 2, Eve is
created subsequent to Adam. Genesis 1:12 shows vegetation on the earth, but 2:5 says there was not yet vegetation.
uh-oh
