Making Spiritual Sense of the Natural World
Our Father says,
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.’
2 Timothy 1:7
Nowadays, more than ever, it is difficult to make sense of the world and it’s daily goings on. Various people with different points of view are shouting at us in the media and telling us that if we don’t listen to them, bad things will happen. This creates an atmosphere of uncertainty that leads to fear in many people’s lives as they worry about their and their families’ futures.
However, if we will allow our Father to lead and guide us, we do not have to fear nor do we even have to be uncertain – even in these troubled times. In fact, I believe the only way to see clearly in these days is to allow God to give us His perspective.
What is happening right now is the final stages of the formation of the last world government spoken of in the book of Revelation. Unfortunately, those who are the disciples of the synagogue of Satan have, for many years, chosen communism as the basis of this world government. Formerly Russia, and now China, have been their main laboratories to perfect this type of “total” control system.
What we have seen on a limited, country-wide basis in every communist takeover of a nation state, is the active destruction of their traditional societies. Those who follow Marx and Lenin seek to eradicate, as much as feasible, the society that is currently in place so that they can, supposedly, build their communist utopia upon its ashes.
Therefore, what is happening on the earth right now is that the forces of this government are ripping apart the social fabric of the world in order to destroy it so that they, in their view, can build afresh a new and greater world order, one made in their own image.
God says,
“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?”
Revelation 6:15-17
The truth is, we have been here before. Our Lord has been showing me revelation about the “days of Noah.” In Noah’s age, there was a wicked, ruthless, violent world government that controlled and dominated the whole earth. In fact, things were so bad that our Father actually repented that He had made man. To people who looked at the ark, built on dry land, it seemed a ludicrous oddity constructed by a crazy person. After all, nothing had changed from the days of their fathers.
The great ones of the earth, the titans, the giants, ruled everything, and had for hundreds of years, with an iron fist. No one could challenge them, and the best you could do was try to keep out of their armies’ way. It looked, to the natural man at least, as if there was no way to defeat the evil that had completely taken over the earth.
Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
Likewise, in our age, is seems as though evil is taking over the world and that there is little that can be done to stop it. Powerful people do awful things and seem to be immune to any form of real justice. Innocent people are oppressed and there is little recourse. The fact is, we are rapidly coming to, not exactly, but a very similar place as the world stood before the first raindrop fell in Noah’s day. Add to this, that there are more than three full-sized replicas of the biblical ark built in various places in the world. You will understand that these are a sign, if you choose to see it.
So, what is God going to do?
Our Father is about to move in a spectacular, unexpected way. Before He brings His wrath upon those who are dead set on doing evil in our generation, He is going to shed forth His love abroad in the hearts of men worldwide. In a sovereign breath of His Spirit, Divine Love, such as was seen and felt through Jesus, will be seen and felt by all the world through His saints. Everyone who is living now will have a personal chance to meet Christ through His body of believers and have the opportunity to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. This is the gospel preached to the ends of the earth.
This move of God’s love will also bring the entire world government plans for evil to an abrupt halt. All their designs, laid down centuries before and worked toward through generations given over to evil, will evaporate as those they seek to control simply will not obey.
What will happen next, will shock the entire world.
We will see the perfected church, the bride of Christ, manifest. However, they will be a true representation of their Father in Heaven, just like Jesus Christ was the image of God on earth. This great “Last Adam,” or if you can receive it, “Last Eve” will be God manifest in their flesh. Likewise, just as Jesus was taken up into heaven, so we will be taken up, too. This is the rapture.
After this, things do actually go to the hell in a very real way. The world government revives and goes after the remnant of the woman’s seed – those left behind. Judgment upon the antichrist world system begins, and it will end with him and his false prophet cast into the Lake of Fire (a sneak peek of what will happen to all those who choose Satan as their god.)
It will be a terrible time for those who still remain on earth and desire to maintain their testimony in Christ, but God will be with them, even unto the end. After those days, God will place Israel as the head of the nations and they will rebuild the earth during the Millennium without the knowledge of Christ as savior. Hence, for a thousand years, Israel will be the head and not the tail of the nations, and peace will reign.
In conclusion,
The lesson I would ask you to consider is that very little I have written in this essay was ever taught to me, nor was it gained through study of the scriptures. In the main, most everything I have told you has come strictly through revelation of the Holy Spirit. When you read these words, even though some of them may shock you, inside in your spirit, you bear witness to them, because they are from God – i.e. current revelation.
In the coming days, it is critical that you learn to recognize God’s voice and trust it more than you trust anything or anyone else. Only His Spirit will be able, through Strong Revelation, to help you to see clearly in the midst of such Strong Delusion. I can lead you to this fountain of God, but each of you must drink of it yourselves.
Blessings,

Dear Connections,
The Body of Christ is a mosaic, a piece of stained glass art of infinite diversity of shape and color and size. However, our collective function is to allow the nature of God to pass through each one of us uniquely in order to show forth his many faceted glory to the world.
Therefore it is not necessary, nor is it desirable for all of us to be the same. This, in my opinion, is one of the failings of the denominational system which seeks to codify, collate, and systematize all ecclesiastical knowledge to the point that we become cookie cutter believers.
Expect different. God is a creator who loves to make unique a beautiful creations and you are one of them. Let us celebrate His infinite variety and have only one criteria – is it God shining through us?
Blessings,
Michael
Dear Connections,
I believe, firmly, that we are generally unaware of the depth of the evil that is set against us both in the heavenly realm and here on earth. For most, the Devil is a concept that exists in theory, somewhere out there in their theology.
What we must come to understand is that there is an active and sustained attack on each one of us to deceive and bring us into bondage so that we will miss our chance for salvation. It happens every day in many ways, most of which we do not acknowledge as being anything more that “normal life” or “coincidence.”
Therefore, we must both watch ourselves and have grace on others who act out in ways that seem inconvenient or evil. The main way demons attack us is through each other and the way to stop their attack is to not react to them with demons of our own speaks through us. This is why God says a soft word turns away wrath and that as much a lies within us, we should live peaceably with all men.
It is not just about today, but about eternity with God. We may endure injustice or hardship for a season, but our Father watches out for us and makes a way for us through life’s difficulties. People are not our enemy, but hopefully will become our brothers and sisters forever in the paradise with Jesus Christ our Lord.
Yes, life may force us to make terrible choices, but even if this is the case, let us do so while being lead by God’s Spirit. This applies for those who must go to war and who must defend themselves and their comrades in arms. Even in such extreme situations, our Father can grant us wisdom as to how to act and what to do even under the most extreme situations.
Amen,
Michael
