Wow, it's been almost a month since I have last
posted! There has been so much that has happened, and well so much more
in the works. Have you ever had a vision from God but only received bits
and pieces wondering how it all fits together? This past week, I found
the missing pieces to that puzzle. I tell you what; Good things come to
those who wait upon the Lord. I'm not yet at liberty to share all that is
going on and about to transpire, but God is good!!!Ok so many of you are probably wondering WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!! For those
of you that missed the previous posts, I work part time for a ministry based
out of Charlotte, NC
called His Call Ministries. I'm their IT Director and almost anything
else they need at the time. Right now, the ministry is in the growing
phase and I have sat there and watched God provide time and time again as he
has stretched us. We did an event at the Hampton
Convention Center back on May
5-6th. We were originally going to charge for registration for this
event, but God told us to do it for free. Now when God tells you to do it
for free, you do it. This doesn't mean you don't fight your flesh because
you know how much it's going to cost to put on the event. It took a great
deal of faith for us to step out and do what God told us to do, but as soon as
we did we had 50% of our budget met by two individuals. If that wasn't a
faith builder, we received 200 registrations the first weekend we announced we
were doing the event for free. All in all, it was a most excellent
weekend as we watched God move marvelously.
There were numerous reports of healings and deliverances. I sat there and watched one lady who couldn't
walk without much help and with assistance of crutches get out of a wheelchair
and walk again by herself. God told us we weren't supposed to take up an
offering to meet the budget, rather take up a redemption offering. What
is this? God was specific and said to have the people sow money that they
would spend on their habit that they were trying to be set free and delivered
from into the offering and see what He would do in the people’s lives. Last week while I was in the office working,
we received an e-mail from a lady who has battled bulimia for years. She
put money in the offering for her drinking, but failed to do so for her
bulimia. God kept dealing with her the
days after the conference. So she sent
in letter to God with her check attached labeled her food money (which we got
right before we got the e-mail). I am
paraphrasing this a lot as it was extremely lengthy, but in her e-mail she explained
how she was set free from her bulimia.
She no longer has the urge to purge.
For her there were a few things that would bring on this need to
purge. After she was obedient to God,
she now can do those things without feeling like she needes to purge. God has given her he self control that she
needed to overcome this once and for all.
The miracles go on and on, as we still receive reports as to what God is
still doing in the lives of the people that came to the event. We didn't take in enough money to cover the
events total cost, but we know that we did what God told us to do and that is
enough for us. We have two more events scheduled for August 4-5th
in Charlotte, NC
and November 9-10th (tentatively in Cleveland,
TN).
This is just a small glimpse as to what he is doing in the
ministry. I am so excited as we look
forward at the many things God has called us to do. It’s a bit scary, but so worth the
adventure.
The couple and child in the bottom right hand corner are the founders of His Call Ministries (Keith and Michele Duncan and ofcourse their son Judah). It's their house that I stay at while I'm down there in South Carolina. I have my own bedroom at their house
. The rest of the people there are all from Campus Choir (either currently or at some point in the past including the founders of HCM). The girl in the white is Ashlie, she is going to be heading up the Publishing side of the ministry. Her sister Melissa who is behind her to the right w/the short curly hair, as of Monday will be working with us in the office as well.
Needless to say this weekend I’ll be down there again but
this time mostly for pleasure. I’ll be
going to a concert on Saturday night and then hanging for the Memorial Day
weekend.

In the World,but Not of the World!
1 John 2:15-17
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof. but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
James 1:27
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
James 4:4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

GOD BLESS YOU,and Now it is high time for everyone to awake out of sleep.
Romans 13:11-14
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13Let us walk honestly, as in the day, not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Be as Wise Children of God!
Remember the 10 virgins in Matthew 25.only 5/Half were wise,and they Raptured!Their Lamps were lit,and filled with oil.
Matthew 25:1-13 appears to be Layered,and Prophetic!
Matthew 25:1-13
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
The Last scripture in Matthew 25:13 tells all to Watch!
Notice that the lamps of the foolish (though they were referred to as virgins)The lamps of the foolish had "gone out",indicating they had burned at one time!
And when the beautiful bridegroom (Jesus Christ) came for His Church(Body of Christ) Born Again(New Creatures)Children of God that were(Wise) ready went in with Him to the marriage,and the door was shut.
Sadly, the unprepared were forced to enter the tribulation period.
Its all about being Born Again(New Creature)Wise as Children of God who abide in JESUS CHRIST!
Its not wise for people to backslide or be Lukewarm etc.
Those who are Born Again(New Creatures) are wise,and keep themselves in a personal relationship with JESUS CHRIST(Abide)
They are not out doing the things people in the World do!They have no desire to hang out in bars or party etc.
Be Wise!Love,and desire JESUS CHRIST more than anything,and everything.
In the World,but Not of the World!

Lamps Lit,and filled with oil
2 Corinthians 11:2
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
Be wise!Keep Your Lamp Lit with(JESUS CHRIST)Filled With oil(As with the Holy Ghost)
2 Samuel 22:29
For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
Psalm 119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Proverbs 3:35
The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
Proverbs 21:20
There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man spendeth it up.
The Wise Virgins(As Pure Heart)The Children of God who abide(Intimate)Who have a personal Relationship(Born Again)with JESUS CHRIST!Lamps Lit,and filled with oil(As Holy Ghost)
Matthew 5:8
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Children of God
Innocent(Pure Heart)Holy,Humble,and Wise as Children of God!
Mark 10:15
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
Romans 8:16
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
1 John 2:28
And now, little children,abide in him, that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Now is the Time to usher special times for Worship,Praise,and Prayer!
Now is the Time to usher a Deep Personal Relationship(Abide)Intimate with Jesus Christ!
Abide in Him
Watch,and Abide in JESUS CHRIST
Isaiah 54:5
For thy Maker is thine husband,the LORD of hosts is his name,and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel,
The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

English Bibles use the words caught up for the Rapture, as in 1 Thessalonians 4:17.The word Rapture is not actually in any English Bible, but the word rapiemur appears in the Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible, and that is from where the English word Rapture is derived.
deinde nos qui vivimus qui relinquimur simul rapiemur cum illis in nubibus obviam Domino in aera et sic semper cum Domino erimus( 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Latin Vulgate )
Harpazo (har-pad-zo) is the Greek word which the New Testament translators have rendered as caught up(Rapture)
The Door will open in the Atmosphere,and we will be Caught up in the Clouds with our Lord Jesus Christ!
At any given moment, all at once, Multitudes of people from all over the entire world will Rapture with Jesus Christ!
Divine Intervention (Rapture)
Soon the World is going to experience the Rapture,as its usherd on the doorstep of humanity.
In a moment, in the Twinkling of an Eye, the "Rapture" will be an Earthly fact of Living Reality.
In fact, if you are unsaved or unprepared for His glorious appearing to Rapture the Saints and you ignore this warning, that in itself is very dangerous.
One of the saddest days in human history will be the day following the Rapture of the Saints of God. Once it sinks into the minds of a multiplied number of "Left Behind" individuals that Jesus Christ has literally come to get the Born Again (New Creatures)and gone back to Heaven, it will be a traumatic moment of heartbreak and regrets,For those Left Behind.
The Multitudes who Rapture
The Multitudes who Rapture will be Caught up into the clouds with Jesus Christ,and those Left Behind will Experience The Wrath,Tribulation(Fire).
Romans 5:9
Much more then, being now justified by his blood,
( we shall be saved from wrath through him.)
I Thessalonians 1:10
And to wait for his Son from heaven,whom he raised from the dead,even
(Jesus,which delivered us from the wrath to come. )
I Thessalonians 5:9-11
( For God hath not appointed us to wrath,)
but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
( Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.)
God Reserves Wrath For His Enemies
Job 21:30
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
Psalms 11:6
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
Psalm 21:9
Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.
Psalm 79:6
Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
Romans 1:18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.
Isaiah 13:13
Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
This prophetic truth spoken by a prophet named Nahum is breathtaking!
Nahum 1:2
God is jealous,and the LORD revengeth;the LORD revengeth, and is furious;the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries,and he reserveth wrath for his enemies"
The Wrath begins in revelation 6(the seals)us chosen new creatures Rapture revelation 4
As you can see in Revelation 6:15-17 many attempt to hide in caves(Dens)In the Rocks of the Mountains etc. From the Wrath of the Lamb(Jesus Christ) and perhaps many will attempt to hide from Wormwood etc. In Revelation 8:1-11
For the record people cant hide from Almighty God!
Revelation 6:15-17
"And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the (wrath of the Lamb) For the great day of his (wrath is come) and who shall be able to stand?"
The Rapture occurs at the beginning of Chapter Four and the saints are never called the "Church" again. They are called "Elders" from Revelation Four until they become His "Army" when we return with Jesus Christ to set up the Millennial Kingdom on earth,after the Tribulation!
