War! :: By Layne Dewlen

OK, you guys, ATTENTION! You, in the back of the room, quiet! You’ve all been gathered here today for a very important council of war preparation.

It has come to the attention of our General, Jesus the Christ, that there has been a lot of playing around for quite a while now, and the General says it has to stop.

There has been way too much playing church, playing at reading and study of your war manual, the Bible, playing at communication with headquarters, probably better known by you Privates as prayer, and playing around at enlisting others into our army. This playing at being a soldier must stop NOW! This war is very serious. You have chosen to enlist in the Lord’s army, AND WE ARE GOING TO WIN!

However, for a long time, we here in America have been behind the front lines. We haven’t stared into the very face of the enemy; we’ve had it pretty soft, and many of you have become soft. Yes, we’ve helped many on the front lines in the past, and the General commends you for that, BUT the General says those times have come to an end. We are being called to the front! We’re going to see this war up close and personal! Are you ready? That was mighty weak! I say again, are you ready? That’s better!

You have been given the best of training for the task that awaits you. Some of you have had training for many years; it will be up to you to help those new recruits who haven’t had as much. Make sure you set a good example for them.

Now is the time for each one of you to do a thorough check of your equipment and make sure you understand everything needed to perform your position in this army! As far as equipment is concerned, check all your armor as per Ephesians Chapter 6 in your manual; make sure your communication equipment is in good working order, that your manual is with you at all times. Here’s hoping you have much of it committed to memory.

As far as what is needed to perform in your position is concerned, check and make sure the power of the Holy Spirit is alive and well in you; otherwise, you’re not going to make it. Understand whose you are, who the General is that we are fighting under, and what to do when you’ve done everything you know to do, again found in Eph.6 of the manual.

And, I hope you have studied the leader of the other side and his army, understanding his maneuvers. You older ones can be a big help to the newer ones in this area.”

Now, DON’T FEAR! We haven’t lost a true soldier of the cross yet. Which reminds me, we need to make sure that everyone here is a true soldier of the cross; it’s almost too late, but ask yourself…

Am I a soldier of the Cross—
A follower of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause,
Or blush to speak His name?

Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize
And sailed through bloody seas?

Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?

Since I must fight if I would reign,
Increase my courage, Lord!
I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy Word. – (by Isaac Watts)

Is everybody here a soldier of the cross? Then let’s go in the power and might of our God! We are more than conquerors through Christ, our General!

There literally is nothing to fear but fear itself! This is WAR! Don’t give an inch of ground to the enemy; don’t turn to run from him either. Take a look at your armor; you have no protection for your back! If we live, we will be with Christ; if we die, we will be with Christ!! In this army, there is no losing.

Hallelujah!  Amen!

M-A-R-A-N-A-T-H-A!

Upcoming 2023 Summits :: By Hope Wingo

The Bible tells us that a 10-king alliance will be in place in the early part of the Tribulation. Rev 17:12-14, “And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”

At first, these kings have no power, but when they receive it, they willingly turn it over to the Antichrist. Rev 17:17, “For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.”

BRICS is a five-nation alliance that currently includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. It is being called “A New Multipolar International Order.” Their objective is power. They plan to bring about a different world order and seek to replace the power that the US dollar has over the world. They have their own currency. Since America represents the current world order, their goal is to break it down and replace it with a new world order.

We think that these ten kings might be the BRICS nations, who are planning to add five more at the BRICS Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, in August 2023. They will call their expanded alliance BRICS+.

Note that bricks are made of clay. The 10 toes of Daniel 2:42 are described as “part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.”

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Summit will be held on September 18-19, 2023. It is calling for all nation members to re-commit to strengthening their Agenda 2030 goals. The plan began in 2015, but the halfway point has been disappointing to them, so they are calling for all nations to re-commit to a new seven-year plan of accelerating and strengthening their existing covenant called Agenda 2030. (Please see the linked article below.)

The Secretary General of the UN has announced, “First, I urge heads of State and Government to re-commit to seven years of accelerated, sustained and transformative action, both nationally and internationally, to deliver on the promise of the SDGs.” He also stated, “I encourage Member States to adopt an ambitious and forward-looking Political Declaration and to present global and national commitments for SDG Transformation at the SDG Summit.”

This SDG Summit also coincides with the worldwide International Day of Peace, which is on September 21. The UN website, which highlights the need for Peace and Security, states, “2023 marks the midpoint of the UN Sustainable Goals. The 2023 observance of the International Day of Peace coincides with the SDG Summit on the 18th and 19th of September to mark the midpoint milestone.”

I think it is interesting that this Summit also falls on the last day of the Feast of Trumpets, which runs from September 15-17. The Jewish day begins on the evening prior, so the 17th is still ongoing until the evening of the 18th, which is the first day of the SDG Summit.

Ironically, this SDG Summit uses the tagline, “A rallying cry for leaving no one behind.” Isn’t that the Rapture warning cry – satanically twisted?

Perhaps Agenda 2030’s end goal is to fight the King of kings. We don’t know the exact date of Jesus’ death on the cross, but Satan does. He was there, and he knows that Jesus will return exactly 2,000 years (or two prophetic days) later, and at that time, the ten kings “will make war with Him…” (Rev 17:14).

If these two summits, held in the shadow of the In-Our-Face-Days-of-Lot Pride month, are not ushering in the Tribulation, then what more do we look for? In my opinion, it’s already off the charts.

Please consider all of this, and make sure – real sure – that you’re ready to leave this world.
