In Acts chapter 5, the disciples were now operating in the Holy Spirit and signs were following them. Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. The people were in unity and knew that their visitation was at hand. What had been important to them just days before was no longer of any consequence for everything had shifted. The Day of Pentecost had arrived and their time was now at hand. They had fully embraced FATHER’S Plan except for a particular couple named Ananias and his wife Sapphira:
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession.
2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?
4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”
5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things.
6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.
It is my expectation that great fear may be coming soon and most people will experience great fear. On a recent trip to Washington, D.C., one of our members experienced a vision of a great earthquake (8.3 or 8.4) while standing in the lobby of a Fairfax hotel. I don’t know how this will play out whether it be an earthquake in the natural, economic, or spiritual… or all the above. It was reconfirmed this last Friday in Charlotte.
Are you prepared to be “all in” or will you attempt to hold out? Will you try to withhold from the Holy Spirit thinking that no one will know? Many talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. There are many signs pointing to an epic shift ahead and none will be spared the effects or impact of this shift. How will you react and respond when this occurs? For years FATHER had me write to alert the reader of the economic tremors at hand and even today they are more pronounced than ever before. There has been no change in the direction of the current system and the warnings are out there. Those who heeded the warnings have put their house in order and I am grateful for the apparent delay of the inevitable.
FATHER had me shift my focus to the spiritual preparation of the brethren at a personal level for those who have ears to hear. Rather than focusing on observation of events, we must focus on our personal relationship with FATHER. We must ready ourselves for what is coming by aligning ourselves with FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love. Why? As the Beloved Disciples tell us in 1 John chapter 4:
17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
19 We love Him because He first loved us.
If we walk in perfect Love we will not fear when the day of judgment is fully manifested. By directing your focus to the critical point being made by John, I am doing my part in preparing those who have ears to hear. Yes, great fear will arrive on the scene soon but perfect Love will be the only answer and men will seek out those who have this great Love. Their lights will shine brightly as the day of judgment approaches.
