According to James 1:12, The one who endures until the end will be saved. Family, for us to survive what is coming on this earth, it is essential to be one with our Deliverer and King. He has to give us a divine strategy for these last days. The book of Revelation is unfolding all around us. We are not waiting for the last days, we’re living in it right now. Revelation 1:3 says, Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the Book and keep those things which are written in it, for the time is near. You receive a blessing just for reading the Book. Yet, there are many who have never even read the book of Revelation. Israel, you are the time clock. The signs of these last days and this awakening is proof that time is drawing near for our exodus from the land of our oppressors and we have to learn how to stand in faith. It’s also important for us to look back and remember the mistakes of our ancestors so that we don’t keep repeating them. We have tried many things but in the long run all of our hard work seems to benefit others more than it does us and we end up going around the same mountain again and again. We can’t keep making these mistakes and it’s time to learn from them. Zion, this is going to be key to our deliverance.
Prophecy is unfolding all around us and we need the Ruach (the Holy Spirit) to teach us how to navigate these world events. In Luke 21, Messiah told us that there would be things happening in the last days that would cause the hearts of men to fail. We’re going to see some things that will cause great fear but He said, Take heed that you’re not weighed down with the cares of this life and that day come on you unexpectedly. When things catch you off guard, it means you fail to prepare. It also means that you did not hear. Why would Messiah tell them to look for certain signs if He didn’t expect them to take some action to avoid the danger? He was even more specific in telling them not to enter the city and they should flee to the mountains. Yet, there are many who are like the five foolish virgins in Matthew 25. All ten of the virgins knew that it was time for the bridegroom to come and they went out to meet him. Verse 3 tells us that the foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them; they didn’t think they would need it. They expected the oil that was already in their lamp to be enough. They never even considered the possibility of a delay. The five foolish virgins lacked foresight and there are many today who fail to think ahead like the ant in Proverbs 6:6.
The book of Maccabees gives a historical account of how Israel dealt with oppressors in their own land. I highly encourage you to read the entire book or the books on your own. But just to give you a quick summary, after being conquered, a lot of our people were forced into the Greek culture. One of the priests, Mattathias, and his five sons revolted against this hellenistic, Seleucid Empire and fought against the oppressors to deliver Israel from forced paganism. When you read the book of Maccabees, you will see that they were men of great courage. What we can learn from that is that there is a time for everything: there’s a time to wait and pray and there’s a time to get up and fight. As we delve into this Book, we will be able to look back and remember the things that happened before and they will help us prepare for things we will have to face in these last days.
We know in the end the Most High will repay. But family, wisdom is needed before you give your allegiance to folks. You definitely should not be moved by your emotions. Following the wrong leader could get you killed. Now there is a time when you have to be willing to lay down your life and martyrdom may be in the future for a lot of us but be sure that you have heard from the Most High before you lock arms to follow folk. Discernment is paramount but we also need to learn how to wait people out so that the Most High will have time to reveal what’s really in their heart. This awakening is not just about us Israel, the Most High is also revealing the tares among us. Remember, they look just like wheat in the beginning; you can hardly tell them apart. But time is a revealer of all things. There is wisdom in coming together with those who have the anointing and the qualification to lead – particularly in times of crisis. You need to join forces with those who can hear from heaven, those who have been anointed and appointed to lead.
An important point that we need to understand for these last days is that we have the words of YAH that is written (we call them the laws, statutes, and commandments). But we have to follow what is written and what is said. There are times when a Rhema word is given. A Rhema word is when the Ruach of the Most High brings a right now word that’s specific to your situation or need for direction. You’re given an unction or a knowing of what you should do, and this is the benefit of being filled with His Spirit. The Most High did not stop speaking after the Old Testament prophets died. He’s still speaking today. The Word is living, He is a person. He is Yahshua; the Word that was sent – the Teacher on the inside of us. Being led by the Spirit is going to be critically important in these last days (those who are led by the Spirit are the sons of YAH). Do you know how to be led? Do you know how to sit and listen for His voice? What will you do when there’s no internet or ways to communicate with others with a cell phone or other technological device?
We need to get rid of this passive, namby-pamby image of Messiah before He died. He told his disciples to get a sword. In today’s terms, He was telling them, “You need to be packing.” He was telling them to get something to protect themselves. He was not passive. Europeans depicted Him that way, as this effeminate man, but it’s nothing like the description we see in Scripture of a bold Messiah who openly rebuked the Pharisees and Sadducees and threw the money changers out of the temple. The disciples weren’t passive either; two of them wanted to call fire down from heaven. Peter cut off a man’s ear and was ready to fight but the will of the Father was for Yahshua to die. Now is not the time to be weary and give up. This is the time to strengthen your resolve and allow the Holy Spirit to prepare you for this next shift that’s already happening in the world. There’s a lot of work to be done and we have some great examples in Scripture to help us learn how to stand in faith. There is a time for everything but the most important thing is to follow the strategy that is given to us from on High.
We need a divine strategy in these last days. We need strategic thinkers, yes, but most importantly, we need those who can sit at the feet of the Father until He says go this way, go that way, or do this. This is the only way to stand against the power of the enemy. We cannot fight him in our own strength. The other thing you have to do is to draw your line in the sand. The ‘mandates’ that we had in 2020 will come back with a vengeance and it will be much worse because the ultimate goal is for everyone to have the mark of the beast. In the book of Revelation, you will see that there will be some who choose to be martyrs. That choice will have to be made beforehand. Famine is on the horizon. A lot of it has been manufactured to force people to accept this one world government. For those who drank ‘the juice’, particularly if it was against your will, the decision this time around will be more difficult for you because whatever your ‘why’ was for accepting it then, the pressure to do it again will be intense. Luke 17:33 says, those who try to save their lives will lose it. That doesn’t mean that we lay down our lives before the time. Our goal should be to finish our assignment on this earth first. So, be prepared to fight, if need be, and be aware of their evil schemes.
If the Most High, in His mercy, tells us in advance what’s coming and the signs to look for, ask yourself, why would He do that. Why did He give Pharaoh a dream that only Joseph could interpret and then give Joseph a strategy that would save the nation? The dream served as the impetus to prepare. Your efforts indicate that you believe what has been said. We’re not supposed to be unaware, family. Daniel 2:22 says, He reveals the hidden things. Why? So that you can come to Him for the strategy that will help you stand. Our Father loves us. You don’t want to hear, “Depart from Me, I never knew you,” when you need Him most. Develop a relationship with the Father now. Spend time praying, fasting, and studying His word; get it down on the inside of you. The way you respond to these events reveal what is planted in your heart. Learn more when you view the accompanying video, Zion This is Key to Our Deliverance 2 | Learn How to Stand in Faith.
