As I awaken this morning, I am greeted with a flood of information which I am certain, God never intended for me to take on. It seems our world has gone crazy. Article after article with events that seem too bizarre to be true. Most of us can relate to the feeling of desiring to stand on a great vantage point and just shout to the world "STOP!" Then that small voice comforts us. That still small voice that whispers, "I am here, listen to me!" For years I spent running in circles only meant I choose not to listen to that voice. The voice that says, "This is my plan, this is what you were made for, just stay in your lane!" For the greatest enemy of God's glorious blessings and will for us is the constant "good" cause, or fighting the wrong battles! Just as the morning started quietly without me awake with the sun rising so beautifully, so it is rising today. Jesus is literally rising upon this world, yet you would have to set your alarm for it and wake up on time and go to the place where you could see this beauty. That place is the Word of God and it's shining brighter and brighter! Peter the Apostle admits that when the early church wrote the New Testament, they were in a "dark place" 2 Peter 1:19 compared to those who would come after. Declaring that at some point in the future a generation would experience, "until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts." v19 so we were to "pay close attention" v19 This fascinates me how these statements came from a generation that cared so much what God had in store for those who believe in Him, yet it wasn't for them. Jesus specifically saying, "not for You" Acts 1:7 Yet today we have taken that to mean us. So we, the church today, don't seem to care or be concerned with His fast approaching promise, our inheritance. Why? Because we have taken the bible out of context, we have put a mountain in front of the rising SON, so of course we can't see the beauty that is happening right now! As I get past breakfast, and realize how fast my day can get burned up with the cares of this world, which for me now is the stress of marketing the book I just published, Awakening Glory: The Morning Star Arises , so here I am writing to you with urgency. Why would God choose me with no degree to my name, divorced failure after 55 years to start a ministry in my older age. Why does God do anything? Doesn't He always fool with men who think they are so smart, using fishermen, concealing truth from the arrogant! For here's a book that will show you biblically speaking from the mouth of the prophets who heard God in the bible and even the greatest prophet Jesus, that we are in the final decade of this age. My case for a timely end is biblically sound, but is anyone listening? How are we to not be a bit concerned when Jesus is ONLY COMING for "those who are eagerly awaiting Him" Hebrews 9:28 Would not those that are excited about a return not be interested in what the bible has to say? Because we think this is the same old story of what has gone before us, many failed attempts to predict. The boy who cried wolf syndrome. Except I am not trying to predict a date. In fact I would admit at least the truth "no one knows the day or hour" Matthew 24:36 has meaning within its context "the day Noah entered the ark" v38 . Which sure isn't referring to a period of time but a specific 24 hour period a moment an "hour" in time when Christ arrives as previously mentioned [cf. v27] ! Yet we have expanded our definition to rule out any understanding of the timeframe God is working in. Consider how the Christian world has adopted believe systems that this very verse itself contradicts. For example, after telling us that at this point in time 30AD "no one knows" v36 Jesus then goes on to declare "Father alone" knows. If Father God knows, then Jesus cannot come at "ANYTIME" as preached. If the reference to this "day" is actually kept in context to the rest of Jesus worlds previously spoken then that day occurs after the Great Tribulation starts. [cf. see the placement of Matthew 24:22 and verse 27 with "then" used] In other words, your Pre Tribulation Theorist experts are using on you a passage that proves their theory wrong. If Jesus says "when these things begin to take place" did we not consider that this one verse proves Post & Pre positions incorrect scripturally. My point is why let others reinterpret the beauty of the Son's rise for you when the picture they have been giving you is false! My job here is to find a way to get you interested in reading my book. Why? Because it is packed full of scripture references proving what other references mean and allowing you to do your own search of scriptures. Why? I mean why is important to know the end from where we sit today? Just imagine how difficult our day will be to keep up with? Birth-pangs are like a Manic Depressive episode. Up one day down the next, with hope no hope. Yet our hope is in His timely return because He cared enough to tell the generation for which it applied when He is coming. Remember this as I need to run off to my numerous things that fill my day. "Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets ..." Amos 3:7 This means He didn't need to reveal His coming correctly to any other generation but the last! Tag You are it! As for me I must get this message out, "The Lord has spoken (in the scriptures of the Bible)! Who can but prophesy?" Amos 3:8

2001 the whisper came, "write about this". I had discovered what seemed to me the greatest single evidence of when Jesus was returning because it came from His own mouth. This couldn't be this easy I said, "It's coming from the star witnesses mouth!". During this period, I had seen many start turning away from the word of God for understanding the "when" of His timetable. Either people got some crazy ideas or just stop caring anymore. Maybe we just all got tired of the false predictions based on misinterpreting the words of Jesus. However mind you the Apostles were wrong in their estimations as well and they walked with Jesus. This is more to do with God's ability to conceal until the final generation than anything else. Still I didn't want to be a date setter or alarmist so I put it off., For me I was enjoying once my faith in His return being solid based on His words, it felt good. I started living fully knowing when He wasn't random and cared to reveal it to those who seek. So I made a deal, "if no one writes about this in the next ten years I will". I figured someone better at writing would explain it better. That time came and went. Oh boy if I only knew what was required of me, as God reminded me it was time. Time had run out but God was gracious with me. The next three years I spent thinking I was going to get started writing soon only to have God drive me into history, greek, research and countless nights turning over disharmonious points. Search led to another search, as I learned how much I was wrong and others as well who had found short cuts to making a lot of money selling their books on the subject. As a master puzzle maker, I had to piece together every scriptures from all over the bible. As an analyst, context and logic needed to be respected. Next I knew God wanted my heart right which then was another year wrestling over how to approach the subject. I was determined that the bible was harmonious, reliable, accurate and the future glorious for His bride! In the process my eyes opened, I discovered an amazing event will occur unlike any ever before, so glorious it is hard to believe but it is very biblical. This has me so excited to see Jesus soon! Now it's like I can't get this stuff out fast enough. So much is happening right before my eyes. We have seen the world drastically change on so many fronts over these years since I started this project in 2011. I use to say how could the love of many grow cold. Now we wouldn't question that as already possible and occurring. DESTRUCTIVE LIES So I'll start in this article with the basics. We are being lied to! It's no wonder that Jesus has to tell us first and foremost, don't be deceived by those who say they are "Christ's"! From where, from Christian pulpits saying, Jesus can come anytime FALSE! Saying No one can know the time, FALSE! All this creates is confusion over the many passages warning to be looking for His return, alert. Instead we spend much more time preparing people for this life to enjoy it fully. If God doesn't want us to know or made it impossible to know, then why look for it? The word tells us why this line of thinking is promoted. Peter called these mockers as "following their lusts" 2 Peter 3:3 and in fact they are "Christians" saying, "Where is the promise of His coming." Ok, so how can I say these teaching are wrong you ask? Simple, the Apostles gave things that must take place first, precursors, there are seven of them only three are left. So Jesus cannot come at anytime until the last precursor occurs then He can come on a day no one would think. "at an hour when you do not think" Matthew 24:44 LET'S BE LOGICAL This alone should cause a pause. He cannot come at any predictable day, ruling out the mid or post tribulation positions based on the accurate counting of days from the Abomination in Daniel 12 and the false believe of a Seven Year Tribulation that has a marker for the start. I can rule out Pre-Tribulation easier and more often based on thoroughly messing with Jesus context, who said "when these things begin" Luke 21:28 For them to begin we must locate which things in the context. Well all the things are amassed above in the Great Tribulation in which Revelation says a "great multitude comes out of." Understand the Pre-Tribulationist is mainly concerned that we don't inherit the wrath of God which we don't. In fact, since there is no seven year tribulation and just 30 days between the Abomination by the government worldwide and the Beast boast of being God and having been given authority; the end occurs quickly with just a short period for us the Bride (ready saints) which God Sovereignly cuts short. Before all that everyone is "Peace and Safety", so we see a massive set-up by two thieves; God and Satan. Who has your heart, who will get you? Will you stay alert? UNPREDICTABLE START FIXED END You can yell all you want "no one knows the day" and I will agree. The context is 24 hour day, the literal start of His revealing or coming which is plural days. The end isn't Jesus shows up visibly, for even He warns against this. No He is a type of Noah that loads Has family into an ark above the earth during the judgement of the world. Pretty harmonious simple if followed correctly, Jesus emphasizes heavily the parallel. So good news, we have a honeymoon coming up above the clouds, we are gathered to the lower air (1 Thessalonians 4:17) and later gathered from there "from one end of the sky to the other" Matthew 24:31 Back to Jesus words and why I got started in this, I have discovered it is possible to know the year(s) possible for the end of the age. My next article.

So much is going in our day it would be easy to pick an angle and run with it, Like Alice In Wonderland we would soon find ourselves far from where we started. Never has so much come to light in such little time. On top of that, we have the complexity and diversity of opinions being spoken over so much of what we are even unsure is accurate news. This is the price of technology I'm sure. Yet what is important? What is worth our time, energy and devotion? What battle are we to wage that brings about the best return? Many would be right to say the issue of LIFE! They fight for the rights of the unborn child, against human trafficking and a myriad of the other LIFE altering injustices and needs out there. I applaud those committed to bring awareness to our hearts. Personally I struggle at times to balance life. I have such a hunger to compete athletically, to perfect my artistry in music and then do ministry that I am constantly reminded of the more excellent things in life. Not my projects, not my accomplishments, but my relationships starting with God. Nothing has shown me the importance of sowing into people then having daughters. True, as much as I love writing, playing piano, putting together messages and doing meetings for my Lord Jesus; all this pails in comparison to the meaningfulness of relationships. Maybe we forget that the word "righteous" comes from the idea of standing right before another. If I am not the father I was called to be to my daughter then those relationships are not righteous. The same would go for my boss, co-workers or especially my brothers and sisters in Christ. The word says "to submit one to another" Ephesians. So it always amazes me how independent we are to each other in the body of Christ, a true sign of unrighteousness happening at the top. Yes our right standing with God isn't a given because of Christ! We must apply Him to our lives for that to be true. In fact so many do not even have a relationship with God to begin with because they have never entered through the narrow door of repentance and gratitude. What is truly sad is many haven't a clue what a right relationship looks like or feels like. Most marriages are being built on co-dependance and usury, most children want to live off their parents as a right, most parents have lost track of a desire to really raise their children. Satan hates relationships built on trust, love and honor. If you think about it revival is all about awakening the reality of who God is! The more I get it, the more I realize I am not right with Him. He deserves better. He deserves more of me. The more I see Him the more a love is born for others and I must make restitution, restore, and be broken for others. On and on until nothing unholy can enter our encounter with Him. This level of purity of relating to Him commands His favor and unleashes His power all around us. So I presented us with a question. What battle should we be fighting for? What will make the most difference in our lives? The answer our pursuit of Him. For in Him we are truly who we are suppose to be. Our greatest self is in abandonment to Him. I can never fail by giving to God what He deserves. This will always make me an awesome person who can love himself and others. My marriage depends on it, my calling depends on it, my daughters depend on it. This brings life! For what do you say to the child with horrible parents, to the teenager raped repeatedly, to those through which hope seems lost with no ground to stand on. What do you say if you never knew Him righteously? For until you can make your life at peace with Him, you will not see a place that no weapon can touch. Friends there is a place that though we are tormented, harassed in the flesh we can have peace concerning ourselves from Him. A place where His word is final and our hearts assured. Cry out! If there is any doubt about where you are with Him.

"In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in darkness, and darkness has not overcome it." John 1:4-5 I was watching an episode of "Alone" recently and one of the contestants who was on the island, was out of range of sunlight.... he was desperate for just one ray of sunlight. He was cold, hungry, completely isolated, and depressed. He knew if he could just feel the warmth of the sun it would bring him vitality and joy which could help him finish strong. As believers we face the greatest challenge....Life. This man's example is a great picture of what happens when we walk without His Light. We feel alone, cold, and hungry spiritually.....we long for one moment just to bask in the light of His presence were we could experience His warmth and rejuvenate our souls. So why is it that we choose darkness over light. Like this man, he had to climb up a steep hill with thik brush in order to reach the sunlight. This man had already made His camp, felt safe, and didn't recognize his need for the Light until he realized he was cold, isolated, and depressed. The word says that in Jesus is the light of all mankind and that darkness cannot overcome His light. Many are attracted to this display of light at various times and even invited it in our life only to retreat to the caverns that feel familiar and safe to us. As believers we can get caught up in darkness when we start to look for comfort in the wrong places. We forget the power of His light to bring comfort.....life giving, life restoring, life freeing LIGHT! His promise is that darkness will not overcome us if we live in the light of His presence. We can choose in the midst of darkness to focus on His goodness, His perfect love (warmth), His peace, and His word which brings life and guides us through the darkness. He calls out to us "come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest." As we come to him vulnerable with our concerns, fears, and failures, His presence sheds warm light over our soul and restores us again and again. I love that there is no limit to this invitation to come before Him. The hurdle we all must cross is self. We believe the lie that to protect ourselves we must live in the shadows where no one can see us plainly. Jesus taking our sins on Himself is saying "Come out of the shadows I love you, I will be your light and awesomeness in you and you will not need to be ashamed of you no longer!" The choice is ours everyday to be powerful or a victim. Many say "I am not a victim" but they are living a lie of denial as they cover themselves with all kinds of protection devices and blame circumstances for their actions and situations. For some this is a reality, life has been unfair if there was such a thing, until you realize we all have sinned and deserve judgement if not for Jesus Christ taking our place. Our fear of not being good enough draws us away from people and to rove our worth to people in the wrong ways. We find ourselves surrounded by a chaotic world of pleasing others or hiding from others with fronts. All because the brokenness of our soul is our identity, when God sees the heart or our inner man instead as our true identity. Who we are is deeper than the brokenness and this place of communion and partnership with Him is gold when the lights are turned on! Paul says we were "dead in sin" but made alive in Christ! This golden God breathed Spirit person is our true identity. That person that can speak peace back to ourselves and crucify it's disfunction with God's partnership. We were made to commune there in our inner man. The word says it is being renewed day by day! Everything else is passing away. The brokenness we experience all of a sudden are not allowed to be our identity but our stewardship. We no longer need to hide from others or pull on them because God is our source in our inner man. Our hiding is now in Him. As the word says we are seated with Him in heavenly places. Our comfort safety is derived from communion with Him. My sense of worth and well being are restored and I can be powerful again and not a victim.

"For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6 "the we love one another ... this is the commandment ...heard from the beginning that you should walk in it." 2 John 1:5-6 It's always hard to start something new. The picture I get is that writer who keeps pulling the paper out of the typewriter or the hopeful athletes first painful day in the gym or road running out of breath. Most of us go into our experience with God not like this writer or athlete though. The truth is most of us stumble upon our experience with God, are touched in some way and haphazardly try to figure out what to do next. For me, the affect of change was so sudden and powerful that it thrusted me into my faith. Later when all the emotions of being touched simmered down, I needed to find discipline to forge forward. My point is everyone comes into relationship with God differently according to there personalities and past but all come by faith. So let me clarify what I mean by Awakening Begins . Most have heard of the four stages of growing toward being an expert at something. We begin as a "conscious conscious" completely swallowed up in an ocean of information, terms and experiences that are new to us, very conscious of our fears and limitations. We end up hopefully by persistence and patience "unconscious unconscious" where we don't have to stop to question ourselves and the world around us. There is peace in who we are and our mission and purpose in life, and we are fully aware of the world we live in both physical and spiritual. For me this took decades to break my apprehensions that held me back from entering realms of "unconscious living". I grew up abandoned for the most part and terrified of surviving in this world. In fact God was gracious enough to take me through my worst fears to break the stronghold it had over me. So I could find peace and triumph in Christ. So what I am driving at is, most of us are stuck in the eternal baby stage of faith. We have failed to enter the awakening of another world beyond what we see. We are fixated on the Way of faith avoiding the Truth and Life of faith. Yet Jesus objective in saving us is not to one worshipped in tongue while we live in the old life. He says I am the way AND the truth and life to the Father. For example, Evangelicals have great hearts to share Christ, but typically they are held up in the experience of God's outer court where Christ died and rose and the word of God is introduced. Evangelical/Fundamentalist likewise are held up in the inner court of church life and the teachings of the word without ever entering the Holies of Holies, an awakening of "unconscious". Let me be quick to clarify what I mean by "unconscious" here. I am speaking of the whole objective of our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit to help you transition from an old way of life to a "new and living way" Hebrews 10 . This new way of life is REST, to thrive not survive. When we succeed at putting our trust fully in God we live an such a way as to REST from our works and enjoy seeing Him take care of us as we partner with Him. In this new way, we resolve the egg on our face problem. No longer are we prone to identify ourselves by the brokenness of our soul, but we see ourselves by the Spirit as a spirit man or women partnering with Him. In this new consciousness we BEGIN to live and find that that part of ourselves is separate from our natural mind will and emotions. In fact we find God went out of His way to purchase that YOU, because it is GOLD! Never do we see in scripture that spirit man spoken of being "good or evil" "right or wrong" because it is only possible for it to be "dead or alive"! Why is that? Your spirit was made in the image of God to unite with His Spirit and partner together on earth. Because sin reigned in your mortal bodies that part died. The problem is most of us walk into "faith" without regeneration. This is a false conversion in that the seed did not germinate with a heart but a mind. A further problem is even if we are regenerated and the spirit part of us is activated we face a battle of "wills". Our flesh is strong. It has had years to corrupt our soul. This can pose a real problem for those who come from worse off childhoods like myself. Decisions are made in real time here, do you go back to no battle and the bondage you experienced. The happy slave affect. Or do you accept the momentary sufferings? The bible says you will if you have experienced the genuine "down payment" of the Holy Spirit. Many give up on the battle for many reasons. The sad thing looking back for me was I had given up at times right before the breakthrough. Motivation is key and hard for those who haven't experience a genuine relationship and touch from God. I usually tell people "you get to be awesome". Or "don't you want to find out what the real YOU is anyway"!? Motivation is a hidden thing, much like our attitude it plays such a supreme role in our destiny. Without a vision a people perish (motivation & perspective) and there is nothing more powerful than seeing distinctions (holy & unholy) and responding to them in how we approach God and life (attitude). How life-changing can one afternoon be if sat down to evaluate what is really important and planned our lives around those values. However, in this new way of living, our daily being renewed by living outside our souls realm is so important. If i had to live in that soup kitchen called my souls mind will and emotion, I could never make heads or tails of what was really going on. That is why the bible tells us to obtain the "key of David" Isaiah 22 because David's key to life was when it says "He encouraged Himself in the Lord" ! This is the best example of how we can step away from ourselves (soul) and peer back into our lives with God at our side (spirit to Spirit) and examine what is going on. Thus the invaluable need for regeneration or a born again experience to quicken our spirit back to activity, so we can partner with Him to have an advantage point to see what is going on in inside ourselves and life around us. This is why we pray, not to speak a bunch of soul talk... "Oh please help me ... I want this... If only you would.... " but to examine ourselves, speak to ourselves the truth. and command our mind will and emotions to get with the new program of the Spirit. This is how we move from being a victim to never having to feel powerless again. If God is inside me I should never have to be the victim! This is what I mean by AWAKENING! It is when we start to be the core center of what God is doing around us. We stop blaming stuff, people and events. We stop trying to please people. And we begin to love ourselves first the way God intended for us to. We make ourselves the first project of love. If I am this golden and valuable to Him because of a spirit man/women that cannot sin, but made like Him. Than it is my sworn duty to protect it from sin and my souls folly. If I am this valuable so is everyone else that He created. Whether their spirit is dead or alive, I can now see the value in the potential in every person. This shift toward a life of trust in God is really just an awakening of the partnership we are to have with Him in our spirit man. Again notice there is no way to succeed without separating the soul and the spirit. This best done under constant influence of the word of God which makes "division of soul and spirit" Hebrews 4:12 The Word of course gives us a great example of how this works in the Epistle of James when he likened our walk as central to looking in a mirror and remembering who we really are. Paul speaking in his letter speaks of the Spirit bringing liberty by "beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord" 2 Corinthians 3:18 thus we see ourselves "transformed into the same image" from one experience to the next. Honestly, I don't know how anyone can live victoriously otherwise. Truth is a lot of people pretend to live above the surface of their fears but are sinking daily in them if you saw what God sees. Most of us are satisfied with pretending to be a "Christian" whatever that means to us or we think it means to others. But I am wanting to call you out of that mess to true victorious living! We aren't talking cars and money and fame. Just a love & peace for the powerful spirit self inside you partnering with God through the finished work of Christ. I am not talking about spiritualism here, there is no way to this life without the work of Jesus Christ being daily applied to your life, through an active relationship with your heavenly Father. Otherwise when you fall back to having the egg on your face again, accompanied with the feeling of discouragement, failure and the need to go back to the old life of dead works. Only Jesus blood cleaned sin once and for all, only His blood gives you the reminder to stay humble which really is POWER. For when I make room for God alongside me, He can empower and guide me to victory. Today make that decision to begin your awakening with Him! Stop seeing yourself after the flesh, after what you see. Peoples reactions to you need to be evaluated for a response but should never be something to penetrate your identity. You may have been rude. Their is obvious reasons for actions and their is spirit self talk needed, however the ability for others actions to affect your identity must be ceased once and for all. You are what God thinks of you, the true you. Your manifestations and dysfunctions will eventually come under this rule of identity and power of God but until then grace is needed and understanding that God understands the battle. For example, even your memories, one of the most powerful aspects of your being that you can draw pain from or pleasure cannot be seen as the core of YOU. Many think of our minds as not our flesh just our soul. But your brain is a physical phenomena created by God with neuropaths and learned behavior. Maybe one of the hardest parts of your body to train, however YOUR CHAMPION, your spirit man can! Take every thought captive the Word tells us. How? By bringing God into our consciousness! Which one? Our spirit man's consciousness not your memories! This is very difficult if we haven't separated that part of us from the rest of us, that super id as phycologist like to term it. If you cannot bear witness to that part of YOU, then consider today giving your life to Him. Not just your mind but your life! Let God quicken your spirit man to life. So that His spirit can bear witness yours that you are HIS! God never asked you to accept Him or approve of Him but to entrust yourself to Him, too submit to Him. This acquiring a new identity as His own is THE difference maker. Let what Jesus did for you be applied in a way that gives Him ownership over you. For God wants to give you a NEW HEART, and drive out all the evil spirits that have lived in that vacuum of death inside you.
