In Luke chapter 5, Jesus had entered Capernaum and was in a house full of people where many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door.:

17 Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them. 

18 Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him.

19 And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus.

20 When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’?

24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”

25 Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. 26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today!”

Do you believe that everyone in that house could have been healed that day?  Absolutely!  The power to heal was there but it hindered once the “reasoning” of the mind began.  When you begin trying to figure out the how, why, when, where, to what degree FATHER is moving you begin to quench THE SPIRIT in your life and when you quench the Holy Spirit, you miss a blessing in your life.

I have been around many who use their reasoning as the guide to their walk and it would seem that everything they do always points to the future.  There is a much smaller group who are led by THE SPIRIT who live a rich life of blessing and ministry to others in the here and now.  Which path are you on?

In Matthew chapter 4, Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.  How many of us would reason away that particular path?  But it was necessary for Jesus to pass this test before His ministry was to move forward.  Each of us will be tested to see if we respond to THE SPIRIT or instead reason away why we should take another path.  Once you began to deliberate, you have failed that particular test.

A man I know was told by FATHER to give an elderly woman a twenty dollar bill.  When he opened his wallet, he immediately saw a ten dollar bill and his mind drew him to compromise what FATHER had told him.  Nevertheless he looked further and found the twenty dollar bill and gave it to her.  Your mind will try to compromise at any given opportunity, especially when it involves money.  Compromise enters in most often where you are at your weakest.  If you are led by the Spirit you will not submit to the weakness of the flesh and its trappings, you will be blessed with the fruit of THE SPIRIT.

Paul wrote in Galatians chapter 5:

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

And in contrast Paul further wrote:

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

At this hour, there is an activation and authentication of those who are led by THE SPIRIT.  I beseech you to get in your prayer closet and get quiet before FATHER.  Quiet your mind for HIS SPIRIT is activating those who are willing to be led fully by HIS SPIRIT.  Don’t let your mind talk you out of what HE has in store for you.  Whatever FATHER tells you to do, just do it.  Don’t reason away into the abyss of compromise.

James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting (or reasoning), for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Don’t let the deliberations of your mind keep you from inheriting the Kingdom of Our Heavenly Father for HIS Kingdom is at hand.

As a friend of mine rightly spoke, “People live in either the past or the future and tend to stay away from ‘today’”.  Man’s soulish thoughts are the enemy of the here and now.  Their minds will attempt to reason why today is not the day for FATHER to move through them.  Their minds will attempt to defer until a day in the future thus removing any responsibility to live for today and be sensitive to THE SPIRIT and respond today.

John the Baptist recognized Jesus to be the Son of GOD and was a witness to the three baptisms of Jesus at the Jordan river but later began to analyze, reason, and assess causing him to send out his own disciples to inquire of Jesus.  In Luke 7:

18 Then the disciples of John reported to him concerning all these things.

19 And John, calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”

Jesus had just raised the dead son of the widow from Nain and yet John the Baptist had already allowed his own reasoning to overtake the Spiritual reality of current events.  John was ready to push his expectation out into the future.  Jesus responded:

21 And that very hour He cured many of infirmities, afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.

22 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them.

23 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”

Jesus moved the focus back to “today” and this is where we should live as well. 

“NOW faith is” not “soon faith will be”.  Faith is in the present tense, not the future tense.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Men should respond today to FATHER’S Word, not reason it away for another day.  Jesus revealed this problem when He spoke about worrying in Mathew chapter 6:

25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

We reason away our situation rather than focusing on the here and now.  FATHER is speaking today and those who are sensitive to HIS SPIRIT will respond today.  Let each of us focus on hearing and responding to HIM today, not setting our attention on the future at the expense of today’s blessings.  Today is the day of your salvation and let not your own reasoning dilute today’s opportunities.

James wrote in chapter 1:

2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,

3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

As we mature in our walk, we must develop our sensitivity to THE SPIRIT and quit relying our logic and reasoning faculties, both “left” brain attributes.  It is easier for some people who have a tendency to operate in the “right” brain.  As an example, logic tells us NOT to count it all joy when we are subjected to trials but instead we should figure a way out according to logic, experience, and other sources of information.  Yet James reveals that our faith is being tested and the result should be patience.

Faith in what?  We should be trusting FATHER to lead us through our trials by listening and responding to HIS SPIRIT, expecting HIM to intervene as we take the path HE has selected for us.  Our faith is developed as we move from our own logic to becoming sensitive to HIS SPIRIT.

Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

The transition from being led by your faculties to being led by THE SPIRIT will be a challenge if you do not progress to the fullness of HIS SPIRIT for you will become double-minded and will be unstable in your ways.  For example, FATHER tells you to give a notable sum of money to an individual or an organization.  You are taken back by what you just heard in your spirit.  Now your logic and reasoning kick in and you begin to analyze and conclude why you shouldn’t.  You further dwell on it until your mind has provided enough reasons not to give.  You have just missed a blessing from FATHER.  HE was setting you up to receive a larger blessing than your gift but tested you to see if you would be a good steward and respond to HIS request.  HE was testing your faith in “hearing” HIM which requires “responding”.

Often FATHER will have you leave your comfort zone to test your willingness to submit to HIM.  Your response will expose your maturity in being led by THE SPIRIT.  Man’s logic wants to attack the problem with facts and reasoning whereas mature Sons will be led by THE SPIRIT and walk out FATHER’S perfect instructions through the problem.

Giving to others is the biggest challenge most people will have to overcome.  A person’s greed will be exposed when he is tested by FATHER in a directive to give.  This is precisely why the world is in the shape its in today.  Wars are over resources.  “I want what you have” or “you owe me”.  Love gives, greed takes and hoards.

My greatest investment decision was one where I knew literally nothing about the investment but THE SPIRIT directed my to do it.  FATHER honored my family’s obedience to give as HE directed and the fruitfulness of planting seed in others’ lives provided dramatic results.  We never gave by men’s coercive words or manipulative behavior.  We cheerfully gave as directed by FATHER.  HE has been perfecting us by challenging the most subtle issue most people deal with: giving.

Some people are easily offended when someone brings up the subject of giving.  They don’t want to deal with the subtleness of greed in their heart.  If you hear FATHER and give when HE says to give, no discussion of giving will affect you for you are at peace in being led by THE SPIRIT in this area.  If you can’t overcome greed in your personal life, how can you expect FATHER to use you in a greater manner affecting others?

Logic and reasoning will hold you back from fulfilling your calling.  Being fully led by THE SPIRIT will move you forward in a rapid fashion.  Choose life or death, the decision is yours.  Respond to HIS SPIRIT and do not delay in taking action and you will not let your left brain talk you out of a blessing and a step toward full maturity as a Son.

A fund manager was recently asked about the current economic state.  His reply was “It works until it doesn’t.”  There is so much disinformation (a.k.a. lies and deception) from all sources of information, there is only one true source of Truth- Our Heavenly Father.  HE has no need to incorporate bias or some malicious intent to sway those who would listen.  HIS track record is well established and is beyond question.  Can you believe a clay pot could challenge the potter’s intent?  Those of dishonor have no problem in expressing their ill-conceived views of life.

Did you know that Peter Stoner, Professor Emeritus of Science at Westmont College, has calculated that the odds of any one person fulfilling just 48 of the major Messianic prophecies in the Bible was 1 in 10 to the 157th power?

A googol is 10 to the 100th power.  The mathematical probability of anyone fulfilling FATHER’S Plan without HIS specific Divine Intent is zero.  Mankind can look pass the Truth and the facts and present their own version of truth as well as conjure up their own supporting data.  It does not and will not change reality.

The blindness of mankind continues to increase just as the formation of FATHER’S Government on earth has begun to materialize.  Just as Peter knew it was necessary to complete the governmental aspects with Matthias as the 12th disciple before the Day of Pentecost, FATHER has been calling and selecting the chosen ones for HIS Government.

Now is the time when the Standard is being raised.  No longer are we too look to the future but we should focus on the “here and now”.  The Great I AM is here today and is moving among HIS chosen ones.  The Standard of Truth is now exposing the lies of mankind and we should expect this to increase in the days ahead.  Be not surprised to find what once was called patriotic to be exposed as nefarious in intent.

Amos 9: 11 ​​“On that day I will raise up

​​The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down,

​​And repair its damages;

​​I will raise up its ruins,

​​And rebuild it as in the days of old;

12 ​​That they may possess the remnant of Edom,

​​And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,”

​​Says the LORD who does this thing.

13 ​​“Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD,

​​“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,

​​And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;

​​The mountains shall drip with sweet wine,

​​And all the hills shall flow with it.

14 ​​I will bring back the captives of My people Israel;

​​They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them;

​​They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them;

​​They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them.

15 ​​I will plant them in their land,

​​And no longer shall they be pulled up

​​From the land I have given them,”

​​Says the LORD your God.

What has been torn down by man will be restored by FATHER.  All of mankind’s plans and devices cannot and will not thwart FATHER’S Plan, Will, and Purpose even though they have convinced themselves otherwise.  In the end there will be only one Standard man will live by and it is the Standard of Truth in Love.

Psalm 112:1 Praise the LORD!

​​​Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,

​​Who delights greatly in His commandments.

​2 ​​His descendants will be mighty on earth;

​​The generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 ​​Wealth and riches will be in his house, ​​And his righteousness endures forever.

4 ​​Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; ​​He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 ​​A good man deals graciously and lends; ​​He will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 ​​Surely he will never be shaken; ​​The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.

7 ​​He will not be afraid of evil tidings; ​​His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 ​​His heart is established; ​​He will not be afraid,

​​Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

​9 ​​He has dispersed abroad, ​​He has given to the poor;

​​His righteousness endures forever; ​​His horn will be exalted with honor.

10 ​​The wicked will see it and be grieved; ​​He will gnash his teeth and melt away;

​​The desire of the wicked shall perish.

Today FATHER is encouraging us that the Righteous shall prevail in the end.  It matters not what the current temporary state is for HE can change our circumstances in a nanosecond.  Soulish man creates scarcity and demand for things that really don’t matter in an attempt to redirect our focus away from sustaining life.  Men have looked passed the beauty of what FATHER has created in order to seek out man’s derivative works that disintegrate over time.  There is a freshness in what FATHER is doing as we walk with HIM.  We begin to see resources as HE does: to use for blessing, not for hoarding.  We begin to look for ways to bring life to others as we have been given life.  We consider others’ needs instead of being constantly focused on our own.

We are full of Love and compassion for others.  We speak the Truth in Love and from a position of Love.  We don’t try to beat the Truth into others but simply provide the Truth like a cool drink of water on a hot summer day.  We are not easily offended by those who are offensive but instead we disperse their frustration with Love and kindness.

We are not shaken because we have an intimate relationship with Our Heavenly Father.  HE knows us, and we know HIM!  HE is the ONE who activates us and then authenticates us with signs following.  HE is the ONE WHO send us forth to do HIS bidding.  This is the Blessed State of the Righteous, and what a state it is!

Judgment comes when a nation moves away from the Source of life:

In Leviticus 26:

14 ​‘​But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments,

15 ​​and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant,

16 ​​I also will do this to you:

What is the end result of defying FATHER’S commandments and statutes?  When a nation is persistent in its denial of FATHER’S full and complete authority over all of creation and promotes lawlessness and perverseness throughout the land, judgment arrives at its front door:

​​I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart.

​​And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

17 ​​I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies.

​​Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you.

​18 ​‘​And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

19 ​​I will break the pride of your power;

​​I will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.

20 ​​And your strength shall be spent in vain;

​​for your land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

The United States has left its righteous roots and has taken on an attitude of entitlement by using the fruitfulness provided by FATHER to become an arrogant and bullying nation.  It has used its monetary system to fund the overthrow of other nations and promote subtle forms of lawlessness using covert operations while at the same time depicting itself as the solution to all of mankind’s problems.  Secrecy has replaced transparency among those who have been elected to lead.  The average citizen would be appalled at the corruption and greed that are now commonplace.  Rigging of markets is now an acceptable practice at the highest levels and no bankers are concerned about personal liability of jail time for their actions.  They are simply doing the bidding of those in control.  Severe judgment is at hand.

Did FATHER strike terror in the hearts of the Egyptians when the firstborn were slayed by the death angel?  Certainly!  When this terror came, the children of Israel were protected, not removed, from this righteous judgment.  They became witnesses and observed the results of what can happen when a nation follows a sustained path of lawlessness.

Men’s hearts will fail them when judgment arrives.  We must be prepared for whatever reality FATHER brings forth knowing that it is necessary to do “radical” surgery when the infection has spread without resistance.  The term “and suddenly” comes to mind.  When the Strong Angel arrives, we must not ask if he is with us or against us but simply state, “We are with you for we are FATHER’S!”

It is estimated that the world population during the time of Christ was between 200 and 300 million.  There were only 120 in the upper room preparing for the Day of Pentecost.  In preparation to spread the Gospel throughout the world, Jesus instructed the disciples:

4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me;

5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”

7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.

8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

FATHER’S remnant of 120 were sufficient to carry our HIS Plan.  What would be the equivalent number of people today with a world population of 7 billion?  It would be about 8,400, still a small remnant.  It is important to consider that fact that until Peter stood up before the crowd gathered at Jerusalem, they had no idea what was going on for the mystery of that day had not been revealed to them.  The crowd was filled with devout men and women who had traveled to the Holy City for the feast yet FATHER had not revealed to them what was about to happen which would change the world.  We appear to be at a similar juncture at this time.

FATHER has been revealing HIS Divine Intent to a “remnant” in this generation.  Those people have a passion for HIS Presence and continue to seek HIS Face on a daily basis.  The call has gone out to many but only a few have been chosen.  HE did not reject the others but instead selected those who are prepared for the times ahead.  Those who are chosen will serve not only those called but the entire world.  Paul was called to serve his generation and fully understood that we must walk in FATHER’S Wisdom, not ours, as he penned in Ephesians chapter 1:

15 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

Do you have Love for all the saints?  How about the rest of the world?  If so, you are being spoken to concerning the Spirit of Wisdom.  How do you think the 120 felt as they were being prepared to usher in the Age of Pentecost?  Could such a small group change the world?  FATHER knew they could perform their calling with HIS Wisdom, power, and authority.  It mattered not who the politicians were at the time for no one could resist or hinder the Plan.  Paul further wrote:

18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power

20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

Nations have been given “derivative” power to rule until such a time as this.  Jesus Christ is now joined with FATHER far above all aspects of derivative power and none will be able to withstand this power and authority.  Throughout history political structures have risen up and have been torn down.  We are moving toward another major change in history.  Now more than ever do we need HIS Wisdom as this time arrives.

We are called to be Light Bearers unto all the world.  Paul wrote in Philippians chapter 2:

12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

To put it another way- For FATHER is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases HIM.  The preparation time seems long in our own comprehension of time but it is not an issue to FATHER.  HE has been molding us into vessels of honor to do HIS perfect plan, will, and purpose.  Little by little we have been redirected to HIS Way, a few degrees at a time.  Each of us is changing day by day as we come into the fullness of time.

“HIS Good Pleasure” is the same word/phrase as “Goodwill” in the Scripture where the angels announced Christ’s arrival: 

“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”

We too will provide a solution to the woes of the world for HIS Good Pleasure will work through us toward all mankind.  The time of preparation has had its challenges and thus Paul further writes:

14 Do all things without complaining and disputing,

What are you willing to do for FATHER’S Good Pleasure?  Are you willing to clean toilets if asked?  Or is that beneath you?  Are you willing to deal with a toddler who has no peace in his heart?  Don’t you know that peace should start emanating from you at some point as you become HIS Good Pleasure?  Start expecting the attributes of FATHER to flow in you and through you.  Quit approaching problems from a mental point of view and begin approaching them by HIS Spirit.  Paul continues:

15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

The Holy Spirit is in you and you should now begin to walk and respond IN HIM, not out of your own soulish thoughts.  Submit to HIS SPIRIT and you will begin to be the answer instead of furthering the problem.  Jesus provides us the best example:

Matthew 4:1  Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

In Acts 18 we find Paul and Silas led by THE SPIRIT:

5 When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

Later Paul writes in Romans 8:

13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

Further, as you are led by HIS SPIRIT, you are in the center of HIS Good Pleasure and are not subject to any judgment coming upon the earth.  The prophets were sustained during the various famines, wars, and other events affecting the whole earth.  The children of Israel were protected when the death angel visited Egypt.  Jesus was protected when the infants were slain.  FATHER will insure protection to those chosen for HIS service.  Paul assures us in Galatians chapter 5:

18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

We will keep HIS Commandments by HIS SPIRIT residing in us as we walk according to HIS SPIRIT.  We will sidestep danger as we are moving in the sensitivity to HIS SPIRIT.  It is critical that we focus each and every moment of our walk to do according to HIS SPIRIT until it becomes firmly established in us.  We must respond to FATHER’S SPIRIT and accept the fact that there will be actions to take which our logical minds do not understand.  We must walk in faith that FATHER knows the proper steps and direction to take at every turn.

As we bear light unto all the world, there will be no darkness along our path for light swallows up darkness.  Judgment on the world could begin any day now.  FATHER has not shown me a specific date but I am responsible for what HE has given me as a season of preparation.  Judgment could come tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, or later.  I will not delay in my preparation and neither should you.  Over the years I have heard many dates given by those who claim to be prophets and nothing of noteworthiness happened on their projected dates.  However, FATHER did speak to me concerning the Shemitah of 1987.  HE awoke me in 3 AM in May of this year to alert me of the Shemitah of this year, next Sunday.  HE gave me no details except to prepare and to alert others to prepare.

Will there be a market collapse next week?  The economic symptoms are surely there for those who understand economic and monetary theory and their associated technicals.  Does FATHER have to judge the world on this coming Shemitah?  No, but HE surely can if HE sees fit.

In 2001, I was in San Antonio at a Information Technology (IT) conference and was scheduled to take a certification exam at 12 Noon on the day of the Shemitah (9/11).  I had no idea of what was about to happen, it was just another day.  My focus was to pass the exam.  In the meantime, the U.S. was in the midst of shutting down all air traffic and trying to evacuate people out of New York City.  Those who went to work on that morning were caught off guard.  I suspect that 99% of the people will be caught off guard as the next judgment comes. 

Let those of us who see the unveiling of Christ and are responding to HIS call be fully prepared when that day comes.  The world will need Light to show them the way out of darkness.  Let us walk each moment of each day BY HIS SPIRIT and we will be Light Bearers to all mankind.
