The next Jubilee year begins at sundown during the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) on September 23, 2015. What is a Jubilee year? It is the 50th year following 7 shemittahs or rather 7 sabbatical years. A sabbatical or shemittah year takes place every 7 years, so a period of 7 shemittahs, which is 7 x 7 = 49 years, would result in a Jubilee year for the start of the 50th year.
Leviticus 25: 8-11 "And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family. That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine."
Basically the Jubilee year is all about Blessing and Judgment. Here is a short quote from Hebrew Nation Radio concerning the Jubilee and what it means:
“ The Jubilee year means Blessing, outpouring, restoration, return to the land, canceling of debts, slaves set free, BLESSING BLESSING BLESSING…..AND
Judgment, unrepentant ones are slain by their enemies, Yahweh sets His face against us, there is drought, plague, pestilence ALL HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME, ALL ROLLED INTO ONE….
The JUDGMENT and the JOY/ FREEDOM and RELEASE is all happening at the SAME TIME.
Remember for those who are pursuing a repentant lifestyle, for those who are humble, broken, repentant and seeking to obey Yahweh and His commands by the power of His Holy Spirit, the Year of JUBILEE is GREAT BLESSING and outpouring, redemption, deliverance, freedom This is GOOD NEWS!”
Let’s take all the Jubilee Years starting from the 1900’s and move forward to our time now and the year 2015 - 2016:
1917 - 1918: Jubilee starts in 1917. (November 1917) Balfour Declaration, which expressed support from Great Britain and others, proclaimed the Jewish people a homeland in the geographical area of Palestine around the end of WWI. Finally, after about 2,000 years the Jewish people began all returning to their homeland of Israel.
1966 - 1967: Jubilee year starts in 1967. The Six-day war takes place between the Jewish people and Arabs. On June 7, 1967 the Jewish people are victorious and completely restored to their capital city of Jerusalem.
2015 - 2016: This will be the next Jubilee year beginning on September 23rd of this year and it will end on September 2016. What will it bring? War, judgment and even blessing.......
What do I personally think is going to happen during the upcoming month of September? It will be a very prophetic time as many know and I've wrote about it in a previous post in more detail.
I believe that war could break out involving Israel. There definitely could be another major economic crash in the United States and possibly around the globe, but since it will be a Jubilee Year this could bring a different outcome, especially for the children of God. Revivals and miracles are going to start and break out. The Jewish people could very well receive their freedom and liberty to start the actual physical building process of the third temple.
Could the Lord Jesus come or even the rapture (gathering together, caught up, assembling) take place this year? It very well could but only the Father in Heaven knows.
Could the 7-year peace treaty be signed this year or next ushering in the start of the Seven Year Tribulation? This is a very good possibility, but only the Lord knows. The word of God tells us to be watchful and ready. Luke 21:36 even tells us to pray that we are worthy to escape the wrath and evil that is to come. Keep in mind that we will not know the day or hour but those watching and waiting for the Lord’s return with hope and faith will recognize the signs and season.
If you are not saved in the Lord Jesus Christ...why wait? You’re time is now.......
What does God want you to do during this prophetic time and more specifically what is God’s will for your life? I recently watched and even learned from an excellent video and teaching from Jonathan Cahn about how to seek the heart and will of God for your life. This was a great teaching and testimony and I recommend this teaching to any Christian: Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry4r2MQxH5s
I am also finishing up on my new book called "Little Horn and the Cup of Trembling", which is a story within a true biblical story teaching end-time events and the rise of the Antichrist. A young Ambassador from the United Kingdom investigates and discovers the identity of the “Little Horn” and so events begin to unravel. This story contains a lot of teaching backed all by scripture from the birth place and region of the Antichrist to the ancient location and area of the Garden of Eden to even the Rapture and Mystery Babylon. The story will even include some humor and romance but most of all how the young Ambassador named Marshall comes to Jesus...

PRESIDENT OBAMA AND POPE FRANCIS ARE SUMMONED TO COURT BY THE SANHEDRIN OF ISRAEL TO BE PUT ON TRIAL IN SEPTEMBER 2015:
Interesting that both Obama and the Pope are being summoned to appear before the Sanhedrin; Obama's hearing is scheduled for 9.8.15 or 9.9.15 taking place a few days before a partial solar eclipse on Sept 12th - 13th. The Pope's hearing with the Sanhedrin is set for 9.20.15. The partial solar eclipse is interesting because it will fall around Elul 29 which is Sept 13th on our calendar signifying the end of the Shemitah, which is the sabbatical or rather 7th year of a seven year cycle.
Let us not forget that the Pope will be meeting with Obama at the White House on....Sept 23rd, the eve of Yom Kippur just preceding the Day of Atonement. The Fall Equinox will fall on the 23rd as well. Sept 28th is also the final and last blood red moon eclipse of the lunar tetrad making the month of September very prophetic and significant. Also, all three Jewish Fall Feasts will be falling in September of this year.
The Jewish Fall Feasts are:
Feast of Trumpets (Beginning Sept 14th - Sept 15th on our calendar)
Feast of the Day of Atonement (Beginning Sept 23rd - 24th on our calendar)
Feast of Tabernacles (Beginning Sept 28th - 29th on our calendar)
Here’s an Israeli news article that I wanted to share:
A Breaking Israel News exclusive. A re-established and self declared Israeli Sanhedrin is calling US President Barack Obama to trial for what it says are “criminal offenses” against the Jewish people following the passage of the Iran nuclear deal.
The modern day Jewish high court, made up of 71 Judaic scholars and rabbis, plan to bring the American president to trial on Mount Zion on September 9, 2015, four days before Rosh Hashana, the beginning of heavenly judgement days for the Jewish nation.
According to a letter obtained exclusively by Breaking Israel News that was sent to the president, the Sanhedrin calls out Obama for “deliberately promoting genocide for the Jewish people.” The judges of the Sanhedrin call on the president to “immediately announce that you are repealing and suspending the agreement.”
The Sanhedrin, which has been active in Israel for over a decade, recently made news when it announced that it would be putting Pope Francis on trial in absentia for his recognition of a “State of Palestine”.
“We are here for matters great and small, those that pertain to Israel, and those that pertain to other nations as well,” said Rabbi Dov Stein, secretary of the Sanhedrin, to Breaking Israel News. “It is part of the process of Geula (redemption) and of the Nation of Israel coming back to the Land of Israel, reestablishing the Sanhedrin and restoring the nation as it once was, ‘For out of Zion shall the Torah go out, and the world of God from Jerusalem.’”
These writings are my own that I type up while also getting information from my bible and sources online. I share these on my facebook page. The above post is my most recent.
Here are a couple older posts of mine that are both biblically and prophetically related as well:
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT will be made public tomorrow from Israel specifically by the Temple Institute located in Jerusalem. They are claiming that it will be world changing so we can expect them to announce the building of the third temple soon as well as some other events.
NEW UPDATE: The important announcement from the Temple Institute was that they are raising red heifers for the first time in Israel to choose a perfect unblemished one, which is a prerequisite for the building of the third Jewish temple. They also have everything they need to go inside the temple as well as the blueprints for it.
Prophetic news update:
A rare 5.2 earthquake recently hit southern Israel in the Sinai Peninsula and both Gaza as well as Egypt felt it. The area of Sinai (Mount Sinai) is where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God. The significant thing about this is that it shook Mount Eilat. Why is that important? Mount Eilat is where billions of dollars worth of gold has recently been discovered and it was stated by Rabbi Yehuda Glick that it will primarily be used in the building of the third Jewish temple. Most bible scholars and many Christians know that a new third temple has to be built in Jerusalem during the last days to fulfill biblical prophecy.
Another rare event is taking place in the sky that hasn't happened in over 2,000 years since the birth of Christ. The planets Jupiter and Venus will be conjoining on June 30th. They have been slowly getting closer but should reach their peak by tomorrow and be seen through the 4th of July weekend...so when you see a big bright star in the sky don't worry it's only two planets close together.
Another aspect that makes this rare is that it will be taking place within the Leo (lion - lion of Judah) constellation and the king star Regulus will be in the mane of the lion within close proximity to the Jupiter & Venus conjunction. Many scholars believe that the Star of Bethlehem during the birth of Christ was the conjoining of Jupiter, Venus and Regulus together which would have made the biggest, closet and brightest star that anyone has even seen. Personally, I do believe this took place but along with a supernatural touch from God that made it even more special and bright.
Judah is a lion's whelp. My son, you have risen up from the prey; he stoops, he crouches like a lion; and like a lioness, who can rouse him - Gen 49:9
The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the lawmaker from between his feet, until He comes to whom it belongs (Shiloh) and the obedience of the people to him - Gen 49:10
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof - Revelation 5:5
Important prophetic biblical events coming this September:
The final blood red moon eclipse of the tetrad will fall on 9/28/15 during the feast of Tabernacles and it will be a "super moon" visible over Israel. Prior to this event also in September of this year Rosh Hashanah and the Feast of Trumpets will take place, then Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement and the end of the Shemittah Year.
Other events taking place between July and September that may affect our country and certain areas: A decision by the Supreme Court to rule on Gay Marriage making it a constitutional right in all 50 states. Jade Helm military exercises and their purpose especially in Texas.
On September 13th it will be the 29th of Elul and the end of the Shemittah Year on the Jewish Calendar. Why is this significant? Because during the end of the last two Shemittah cycles major stock market crashes have taken place affecting the U.S. and others. The greatest U.S. stock market crash of all time in one day took place in September 2001 on the 29th of Elul.......7 years later (2008) another great crash and economic disaster for the U.S. and now 7 years later (2015) something else could take place. A Shemittah year takes place every seven years for those who aren't familiar with the term.
On September 15th the 70th session of the U.N. General Assembly will take place. Why is this important? They are going to decide whether or not there should be a Palestinian State in Israel (two-state solution) dividing God's land. Close to the end of September a new global agenda is going to be launched by the U.N. for the entire world involving many provisions. During this time the Pope is coming to the United States to meet with President Obama and will be giving a global speech from New York concerning the United Nations new agenda. Is it possible that Pope Francis is a prime candidate to be the end-time false prophet?
There are many other things revealing that we are in the last days such as nations gathering against Israel and even our President not recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. This has never happened before since Israel became an independent nation in 1948. Plans for building the third temple in Israel are already in place. Economic problems going on around the world including the U.S. and Greece.
ISIS terrorizing and killing both Christians and Jews shedding much innocent blood. Earthquakes in divers places happening very frequently including a record number of volcanoes erupting this year already. Mass animal deaths, both land and sea, have been taking place in 66 countries around the world involving 412 different events. Could this be related to the Hosea biblical prophecy? Record floods, droughts and wildfires have been and still are taking place including wars and rumors of wars.
The return of Christ may or may not be close but Jesus did say that we would recognize the time and season although we would not know the day or hour. The Lord Jesus said to be watchful and ready. I encourage you to allow God to restore and reestablish your prayer life if it has been withering. If you don't know Jesus Christ and never have received salvation the time is now.

With all the turmoil going on in the Middle East Israel is
certainly the center of most news headlines.Why are some news media outlets twisting the conflict between Hamas (Gaza) and Israel
deliberately shining a negative light on the Jewish nation?
I do have a friend working on the Israeli coast in the oil
business who has been witnessing a lot of the activity going on between Israel and Hamas (Gaza). For those who don’t know the area of Gaza...it's part of the
ancient area of the Philistines who were evil and great enemies of the Hebrews
(Jewish nation). David versus Goliath (Philistine giant) is probably the most famous battle relating to ancient conflicts with the Philistines.
Israel’s
enemies are stirring who by the way actually “hate” the Jewish nation and want
them wiped off the map. Hamas (Gaza) from the
south, radical regimes such as ISIS out of Iraq
and Syria north of Israel have
been causing problems for the Jews.
Behold, I
will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all
the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem – Zechariah 12:2
However, there
are some important events coming:In
September, the new Jewish year will fall on the 25th-26th
which is called Rosh Hashana (Feast of Trumpets). This is an important time because
this New Year for Israel
will be a Sabbatical Year for the Jewish nation. One other important event to
note taking place just after the Jewish New Year will be the second blood red
moon of the lunar tetrad falling on 10/8/2014 which will be during the Feast of
Tabernacles.
For those who do not know: The Lunar Tetrad are four blood
red moons (lunar eclipses) which will intentionally fall on Jewish Holy Days
that actually began in April of 2014.The first fell on April 15th (14th) of this year
which took place during the Jewish Passover. This is a topic that I briefly
cover in my first new book “Drawing a Line in the Sand Revisited 2014."
What is a Sabbatical Year?I paste and copied some passages from my second new book I’ve been currently writing
called “Little Horn and the Cup of Trembling” to answer that question:
“The seven year
peace treaty is directly associated with the seven year tribulation.This timeline obviously deals with the number
seven, especially in relation to the Sabbath and Sabbatical Year which is the
seventh year. The book of Deuteronomy chapter 15 mentions a release of things
after every seven years.The word
Sabbatical in Jewish is Shemitah (Shemittah).
At the
end of every seven years thou shalt make a release. And this is the manner
of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall
release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because
it is called the Lord's release – Deuteronomy 15:1-2
Here are the verses again from Deuteronomy 15 out of the
Orthodox Jewish Bible:
At the
end of every shevat shanim thou shalt make a shemittah (release). And this
is the manner of the shemittah: Every creditor that lendeth whatever unto his
neighbor shall cancel the debt; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of
his brother; because it is called Hashem’s Shemittah. – Deuteronomy 15:1-2
In Deuteronomy
chapter 15 verse 12 it deals directly with the Hebrews and for the time we live
in today it deals with the Jews.According
to Deuteronomy 15, every Hebrew in bondage is to be released every six years
and set free in the seventh, which is basically going to happen during the
seven year tribulation.God resting on
the seventh day after creation in the book of Genesis is very relevant.In Jewish culture the Sabbath is the day of
rest and takes place on the seventh day which is on a Saturday in relation to
our calendar.
And on
the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the
seventh day from all his work which he had made – Genesis 2:2
And if
thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve
thee six years; then in the seventh year (Sabbatical year) thou shalt let him
go free from thee – Deuteronomy 15:12”
Could the Lord Jesus Christ be coming soon?He certainly could, but only the Father in
Heaven knows so we must be watchful and ready at all times.
Could the Seven Year Tribulation begin soon?
Watch ye
therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these
things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man – Luke 21:36
My new book is almost ready for purchase as an ebook on Amazon with an excellent interactive
table of contents and links for use on all e-devices such as kindle, iPad and
iPhone…etc
What is the purpose behind my hopeful upcoming new book “Drawing a Line
in the Sand Revisited”, why was it written and what audience will it appeal to?
"My
book was primarily written to reestablish God’s word which
was already written and to also support creation. I wrote it to lift up
the name of Jesus drawing a line in the sand against Satan and all
those who bring and try to keep division in the body of Christ. Too
many churches and denominations slander each other, backbite and
separate
themselves from one another just because of their denominational name,
traditions, standards, customs or personal theological view and
teachings. I
witnessed this going on in various ways while living in Louisiana for
thirty-four years. Certain
denominations have always been divided against one another although
there are
many true spirit-filled, kind and loving Christians within every
denomination
and church. My book may also help bridge a gap between some Christians
and
denominations through biblical scripture. We are all one body as
brothers and
sisters in Christ no matter what denomination or church we attend as
long as
the GOSPEL OF CHRIST is being taught and preached. The gospel of Christ
is
the birth, life, teachings, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection
of
Jesus Christ. This book also contains a great deal of scripture verses
for ease of memory, especially from what book, chapter and verse it is
located.
We are to love, care for, encourage and lift up one another.
God created diversity not division.
I wrote my book to answer many questions
people have. I also wrote it to share valuable information, sources, links as
well as empower people through facts and biblical scripture guided by the Holy
Spirit on several topics, but under four major categories which are: Salvation,
Holy Ghost, Water Baptism and Divisions in the body of Christ. The book itself is an excellent study guide.
I pray and hope that my book
can and will be used as a tool for the kingdom of God
and to reach the lost.”
My testimony to draw the line in the sand:
I received a prophetic message during a prayer service
in Louisiana
by a woman in 2008 that I would write a book that would help people, but I
definitely didn’t know anything about book writing or publishing. I wrote this
Christian book called “Drawing a Line in the Sand” and had it self-published in
2009 through AuthorHouse Publishing. I put my own money into the book but
I never was satisfied with it at all. When I started writing the book I was
grieving over the loss of my mother Vicki, and so it was a way for me to cope
with her death which truly kept me grounded in the word of God.
The book was kind of boring and immaturely written and the Spirit of the
Lord knew how I felt about it. I wrote some things that I believe were not
correct as well. The last section of the book that I wrote on end-times was
something that I was not ready to write back then, so I completely removed
it. I have grown immensely as a writer since 2008 both in wisdom as well
as knowledge on the word of God. Writing and self publishing my first
book was definitely a growing and learning experience for me and I learned a
lot even about marketing. However, the book did have potential and served
as well as a biblical study guide. I really had to just spend some time
rewriting, updating, editing and most importantly defining the purpose of my
book.
I learned a great lesson to not ever rush something that you are meant to
take time with it. Put true quality into your work and not
quantity. I received two more prophetic messages in 2013 and 2014 by a
man at the church where I currently attend in Washington State.
I knew the prophetic message for me was from God because this man didn’t know
me at all. The first time he came up to me out of the blue and said,
“You’ve stopped writing, and God wants you to write.” You could imagine how I
felt because this man didn’t know me at all and it was true. I did stop
writing and was discouraged, but that really encouraged me and so I created a
facebook, twitter page and a blog for writing. The second prophecy I received from the
same man again in early 2014 was a message about God using my writings to help
many people. He said that my writings would even go into dark places to reach
people where others have not. I knew in my heart and spirit that I needed
to rewrite and revise my first book and then get it published again. I began
writing on two books at once. The first was rewriting “Drawing a Line in the
Sand”, and thank God I have accomplished that. The second book I am
currently writing is on the rise of the Antichrist. It will be about the
last days but with a new twist that no other end-time book offers that I know
of.
Let God draw a line in the sand today against the gates of hell in your life. Don't give up, BE a fighter...
I
have several writings in my blog which has received some small publicity and now over 2,000
views. So far the writing that has received the most views is a sample writing from my manuscript on Enoch, Noah, giants
and the flood along with so much more. Feel free to check it
out.......
This is my attempt at a self-made promo video for my new
hopeful upcoming book called "Drawing a Line in the Sand Revisited."
Really I just like the song lol, but the video reveals reasons why my book was
written as well as some questions & topics answered and covered in my work.
The song playing during the video is called "Draw the Line" by the
Christian rock band 'Disciple'.
These are just a few writings of my true experiences that I posted on my
facebook page that I wanted to compile into a blog to share and encourage
others with.
(July 16th 2014) I have another
experience and testimony to share today. The client I picked up this morning in
Vancouver was a
nice older black gentleman. He could walk good but had some internal health
issues. I had to take him to Portland,
OR. I enjoyed his company and he
was such a blessing to me. We talked about life, music, sports and God. He said
he lived in New Orleans,
La at one time in his life and was a jazz
musician.
He said he received salvation in Jesus Christ in
1972, but told me this:
“I did receive salvation but I tell you what…I went
my own way and I was stubborn. Let me tell ya son…God don’t like back-seat
drivers. If a man wants to tell God what he’s gonna do when he wants to do
it…oh no sir…God will break you because he loves you.” He laughed and then said,
“Trust me I know…I had a hard heart for a long time and was a back-seat driver
to God…and God broke me…you hear me…God broke me. I shouldn’t even be alive
right now because all the stuff and drugs I did. I tell people all the time
that God don’t have no room in his kingdom for hard-hearts, stubbornness or
pride…so if you claim to be one of his children he’s gonna change you…yes sir
(he laughs)…he’s gonna change that mean heart cause he did me.”
This really reminded me of the sermon my pastor taught last Sunday
about lambs going astray. Here’s a paraphrase of that teaching so I’ll share
because it’s a great teaching and lesson:
He said in Hebrew-Jewish traditions when a lamb
would go astray and keep getting away from its area the owner would have to
take a rod and break its back legs so it wouldn't get back out and get killed.
Once the back legs healed the lamb-sheep would actually stay in the area and
not get out again. This was a great analogy for us because God loves us to much
to leave us where we’re at. Sometimes that means the Lord has to break our legs
(metaphorically speaking) so we’ll stay close to God not getting out and away
to far from God in such a way that it jeopardizes our soul. God loves us to
much (if we claim to he his children) to let Satan have us. Backsliding and
straying will hurt and God will allow suffering in your life because of it, but
for your own good.
Here’s a saying that my former pastor Bro. Eddie
Thompson from Louisiana
would say: “Many times people think their one step ahead of God…like God is
throwing his hand down to get us and we just keep moving out the way because
we’re one step ahead. Let me tell you something…if God wanted to get you then
you’d be got. God’s not trying to “get us” but he’s trying to love…and teach us
to love others, but many times we don’t want that. Instead we want to do our
own thing and only love our own…my four and no more Lord. You know Jesus wants
to save you…he don’t want to “get you” because you’d be got already Amen.”
I remember those words from now deceased and
beloved Pastor Eddie Thompson. I hope this testimony was a blessing.
(July 15th 2014) I wanted to share something from my heart…….I’ve been driving
for a wheelchair service company for about 4 months now after applying for
honestly 91 jobs and it has been an honor. It’s a very humbling job as well.
I’ve been able to meet a lot of people, but most of all I’ve been able to share
and witness the love of Christ with others. It’s been amazing, but it could end
soon because I have some other job offers
and an interview today in a related field accept that it will be full-time and
more money.
I love my job and have been used by God greatly for
others and God has miraculously sustained my family financially even though I
make 10.00/hr at part-time hours with a $1,100.00 monthly rent…so as a
one-income family of four you can imagine the faith we’ve had to walk in. We
only have one vehicle and my wife is a full-time college student and
stay-at-home mom. We’ve had people out of the blue just hand us money
sometimes…I don’t care what anyone says…that’s from God.
Times like that usually only lasts for seasons or
longer though until God is ready to move you again which may happen to me.
I’ve had clients tell me that many times they’ve
rode with other companies just to be treated like a piece of cargo in a
wheelchair…it’s heartbreaking to hear that. Many clients have opened up to me
and shared their story and its been a blessing. The clients I pick up are
either in a wheelchair, use a walker or can actually walk…but they’re just weak
you know.
Most of the time my days start at 4am and vary from
there how long they last or what I get paid. You might work a 10 hour day in
this field but only get paid for 5 hours because once you drop a client off
your considered off the clock and you have to log those hours and miles.
This morning I picked up two usual clients (older
black and white gentlemen) like clockwork every Tues., Thurs. and Sat. for dialysis
treatment lasting them 4-5 hours at time. These patients on dialysis get so
weak and just wore out as well as nauseous…It’s something they do basically for
the rest of their lives.
The look on their face today was something I
couldn’t describe when they got through and I picked them up…you know. It was
like they were saying…please somebody, anybody…help me and just care. I sparked
conversation with the black gentleman and told him he looked like Michael
Jordan lol, seriously he really did but an older version. We talked about life,
family and God. When I dropped him off I sincerely let him know that I’m
praying for him and asking God to provide his needs. His heart was touched and
so was mine and he thanked me because at the moment he’s staying with a friend
and looking for a place to live.
My final pick-up was the white gentlemen that I’ve
known a little longer. When he walked out of the building he was just wore
out…I mean you could see it in his eyes and face. He’s only 52 years old and
you can tell that he’s worked hard most of his life by the way he carries
himself and the things we’ve talked about. He just wants to go back to work,
but he can hardly even walk to the van to climb in. It broke my heart today. We
talked a little and during the ride he was just keeping himself from throwing
up from being so nauseous. I was hoping he wouldn’t throw up, not because I’d
have to clean it up, but because it would have embarrassed him because he’s
tough old man I tell ya. I prayed under my breath for him while we rode. We got
to his house and he got out and got his bag and I said his name. He looked up
and I told him, “Man what you go through everyday is tough and I couldn’t
imagine what’s it’s like for you, but I just want you to know that I’m praying
for you…I really am.” He looked at me with actual tears in his eyes and said,
“I appreciate that…thanks so much Daniel…I really appreciate that.” He shut the
door and rested for a moment still trying not to throw up while I was there.
I left and you know the Holy Spirit moved on me to
pray for him right at that moment to give him a sign, testimony and witness
that God cares and He’s with him. Sometimes just letting someone know you care
and you're praying for them is all they need to hear...and it could even change
their life.
It’s hard to have a job like this and get so close
to people and then maybe have to leave to take another job because you just
don’t even make enough to pay your rent you know. God’s will be done on earth
as it is in heaven…in Jesus name. If I get this other job I’ll still get to
maybe run into some of my clients on my current job because I’ll be bringing
medical supplies and medicines to nursing homes, senior residential homes and
other related areas. Keep me and my family in prayer and hopefully the right
door for the right job will open up. In the meantime I know that God will
provide and also continue using me in ministry to reach others by just caring
and showing Christ-like love.
(May 19th 2014) I wanted to share a testimony that happened at work today. I
am a transporter for a wheelchair & medical service company. Most of the
patients that I pick up are elderly but I do pick up some middle-aged groups as
well.
Today I had one patient who was the last on my list to
pick up, wait upon and then bring back home. She had a service dog with her but
she seemed very physical and in good shape.
As I drove, we talked and she began to open up to me about her life like a lot
of my patients do, but this one was different. She had been through something
so traumatizing that she hadn’t gone out in the public for almost a year until
recently. We shared some small talk and laughs but on the way back the real
story began.
When we were almost to her house I decided to use
my ice-breaker to bring up God by asking her where she went to church or if she
had been to any good churches in the area. She said no…….she was quiet for a
moment but then completely opened up and said that because of what happened to
her she has just about lost faith and belief in God. She asked me why he
couldn’t have intervened for her…she began to tear up and then said couldn’t he
have done something to stop it. I didn’t ask her to tell me what happened because
that is patient confidentiality. We stopped at her house and I begin to shake
inside and the Holy Spirit came upon me and gave me the words to say to her. I
let her know why bad things happen to good people but I also let her know that
one day all evil will cease because Christ will one day rule this earth. She wanted to hear more and my words through the
Holy Spirit begin to touch her and she began to cry and God spoke through me to
tell her that HE gives beauty for ashes and what Satan has destroyed God will
restore and she is not alone. She then told me that in group therapy recently
someone told her that she would be like a phoenix rising up out of the ashes
and so when I gave her the word of God concerning beauty for ashes she said
that was her confirmation and so she knew God was talking to her.
I then prayed over her and she cried and was very
touched by the Holy Spirit. She said that her life was changed today because of
what I said and I couldn’t help but tear up because you never know when God
will use you in such a life-changing way and when it happens the feeling is
indescribable.
I gotta say…….the job that I have doesn’t pay that
well, but it opened up for me at the right time and I believe for God’s work.
I’ve witnessed to a few cancer patients to and others that rode with me sensed
that something was different about me and some knew that the Holy Spirit was in
me and some knew that it was my southern accent lol. It’s amazing how God works
things out for us and others as we cross paths in a person’s life that is in
need.
I may add more true testimonies to this blog as time goes by...
I have a lot of writings on this blog on different topics concerning Christianity and the Holy Bible and so I hope their a blessing and help to others.
What is the purpose behind my hopeful upcoming new book “Drawing a Line
in the Sand Revisited”, why was it written and what audience will it appeal to?
"My
book was primarily written to reestablish God’s word which
was already written and to also support creation. I wrote it to lift up
the name of Jesus drawing a line in the sand against Satan and all
those who bring and try to keep division in the body of Christ. Too
many churches and denominations slander each other, backbite and
separate
themselves from one another just because of their denominational name,
traditions, standards, customs or personal theological view and
teachings. I
witnessed this going on in various ways while living in Louisiana for
thirty-four years. Certain
denominations have always been divided against one another although
there are
many true spirit-filled, kind and loving Christians within every
denomination
and church. My book may also help bridge a gap between some Christians
and
denominations through biblical scripture. We are all one body as
brothers and
sisters in Christ no matter what denomination or church we attend as
long as
the GOSPEL OF CHRIST is being taught and preached. The gospel of Christ
is
the birth, life, teachings, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection
of
Jesus Christ. This book also contains a great deal of scripture verses
for ease of memory, especially from what book, chapter and verse it is
located.
We are to love, care for, encourage and lift up one another.
God created diversity not division.
I wrote my book to answer many questions
people have. I also wrote it to share valuable information, sources, links as
well as empower people through facts and biblical scripture guided by the Holy
Spirit on several topics, but under four major categories which are: Salvation,
Holy Ghost, Water Baptism and Divisions in the body of Christ. The book itself is an excellent study guide.
I pray and hope that my book
can and will be used as a tool for the kingdom of God
and to reach the lost.”
My testimony to draw the line in the sand:
I received a prophetic message during a prayer service
in Louisiana
by a woman in 2008 that I would write a book that would help people, but I
definitely didn’t know anything about book writing or publishing. I wrote this
Christian book called “Drawing a Line in the Sand” and had it self-published in
2009 through AuthorHouse Publishing. I put my own money into the book but
I never was satisfied with it at all. When I started writing the book I was
grieving over the loss of my mother Vicki, and so it was a way for me to cope
with her death which truly kept me grounded in the word of God.
The book was kind of boring and immaturely written and the Spirit of the
Lord knew how I felt about it. I wrote some things that I believe were not
correct as well. The last section of the book that I wrote on end-times was
something that I was not ready to write back then, so I completely removed
it. I have grown immensely as a writer since 2008 both in wisdom as well
as knowledge on the word of God. Writing and self publishing my first
book was definitely a growing and learning experience for me and I learned a
lot even about marketing. However, the book did have potential and served
as well as a biblical study guide. I really had to just spend some time
rewriting, updating, editing and most importantly defining the purpose of my
book.
I learned a great lesson to not ever rush something that you are meant to
take time with it. Put true quality into your work and not
quantity. I received two more prophetic messages in 2013 and 2014 by a
man at the church where I currently attend in Washington State.
I knew the prophetic message for me was from God because this man didn’t know
me at all. The first time he came up to me out of the blue and said,
“You’ve stopped writing, and God wants you to write.” You could imagine how I
felt because this man didn’t know me at all and it was true. I did stop
writing and was discouraged, but that really encouraged me and so I created a
facebook, twitter page and a blog for writing. The second prophecy I received from the
same man again in early 2014 was a message about God using my writings to help
many people. He said that my writings would even go into dark places to reach
people where others have not. I knew in my heart and spirit that I needed
to rewrite and revise my first book and then get it published again. I began
writing on two books at once. The first was rewriting “Drawing a Line in the
Sand”, and thank God I have accomplished that. The second book I am
currently writing is on the rise of the Antichrist. It will be about the
last days but with a new twist that no other end-time book offers that I know
of.
Let God draw a line in the sand today against the gates of hell in your life. Don't give up, BE a fighter...
I
have several writings in my blog which has received some small publicity and now almost 2,000
views. So far the writing that has received the most views is a sample writing from my manuscript on Enoch, Noah, giants
and the flood along with so much more. Feel free to check it
out.......
This is my attempt at a self-made promo video for my new
hopeful upcoming book called "Drawing a Line in the Sand Revisited."
Really I just like the song lol, but the video reveals reasons why my book was
written as well as some questions & topics answered and covered in my work.
The song playing during the video is called "Draw the Line" by the
Christian rock band 'Disciple'.
Can any man or woman be perfect or considered perfect at
least in comparison to Christ?
The answer is no.Jesus Christ was sinless, blameless and spotless from birth to
death.If we have ever sinned in our
life since birth then we will never be “perfect” or considered a perfect
person.We already have blame and spots
that are graciously covered by the blood of the Lamb Jesus Christ.
If we say
that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us – 1 John
1:10
Can any man or woman walk in perfect obedience through faith
and trust in Jesus Christ?
If you’re resisting sin to please the Father in Heaven then
you are doing what’s right in the sight of God…….if you’re trying to resist sin
for other reasons then you will fall and it will not be fulfilling.Any man or woman can walk upright and perfect
in the Lord through the Holy Ghost but it is not easy and it takes trust and
faith.
Will you receive some forms of persecution as well as
jealousy, envy, slander and hate from others if you walk upright in the Lord
God? Yes you will…but you have to always be humble and not lift your own self
up…God will lift your head up for you even through others.
But thou,
O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head – Psalm
3:3
We can only walk upright in God resisting sin through the
power of the Holy Ghost.HE gives us a
way to escape every time, but it’s up to us to take his hand.
There
hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful,
who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the
temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it – 1
Corinthians 10:13
We overcome this life and even the sins of this life through
Christ and when we do fall and sin we have an Advocate unto the Father to
forgive us of our sins.
My little
children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin,
we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous – 1 John 2:1
Should it matter if we sin since we can be forgiven every
time and grace is applied? Yes it does matter and the word of God warns us to
abstain from sin because our spiritual enemies desire to kill, steal and
destroy us even with the littlest foothold we give.God shows us a better way…but we can do it
our own way and HE will let us, even though we’ll receive torment, pain,
suffering and even chastisement because of it.
Be sober,
be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour – 1 Peter 5:8
The thief
(Satan) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come
that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly – John
10:10
You can overcome…Trust in Him…….
These
things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world – John
16:33
Ye are of
God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in
you, than he that is in the world – 1 John 4:4
For
whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that
overcometh the world, even our faith – 1 John 5:4
The Holy Ghost searches our hearts which means HE can read
our thoughts as well.God gave us
everything that we needed through Jesus Christ (Holy Spirit) to overcome this
life, the Devil, sin and the flesh.The
choice is ours…….We can “do it our way” or do it God’s way and have true
victory.The bible warns us many times
to abstain from sin and to not allow the Devil to get a foothold in our
life.This is not about being “perfect”,
but this is about having victory over Satan and the sins of this life and to
both defeat and escape the pits, fiery darts, traps, devices and nets our
spiritual enemies uses.This is also
about overcoming our own flesh…
Many times we cope with things in this life with sin because
it gives temporary relief from the pain, hurt, heartache and anger…but sinning
to cope confounds the problem and entangles us even worse and we’ve all been
there at some point and time in our life…….What if you said “NO” this time…what
would happen…possibly a miracle and you may not find out until you do.
But every
man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed – James 1:14
Neither
give place to the devil – Ephesians 4:27
and do
not give the devil a foothold – Ephesians 4:27 NLT
There is an incident in the word of God where Jesus healed a
man who had an infirmity for 38 years.This is what Jesus told him after HE healed him…
Afterward
Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made
whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee – John 5:14
Sometimes we experience hurtful things and torment in our
life even though we haven’t sinned but these trials are always only for
seasons, growth in the Lord and for the Glory of God.One perfect example is the story of Job.
Who do you choose to serve this day…yourself and the flesh…or
God?
Be ye
therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect – Matthew
5:48
How can we be perfect according to Matthew 5:48? By walking in love and obedience through the Holy Spirit.
Jesus
answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the
servant of sin – John 8:34
Being
then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness – Romans 6:18
When we receive salvation in Christ believing in the gospel
of Christ by faith then we begin our journey in God.The Christian walk is an ever-growing process
of falling and getting back up to having true victory over sin by seeking righteousness
(Jesus Christ) and the kingdom
of God first.We are the righteousness of God through
Christ….…Do we stop there? No, because we must continue to seek after the
kingdom of God and the Holy Spirit (Ghost) which ultimately allows us to walk
in obedience desiring the spirit over the flesh and desiring obedience over
sin.
But seek
ye first the kingdom
of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you – Matthew 6:33
Don't give up ... be a fighter and warrior in Christ!
Our full hope, salvation and refuge is in Jesus Christ

The Holy Ghost is the power of God on this earth even
through us.HE is also the Witness of
the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Spirit of Truth and our Comforter.
And I
will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may
abide with you for ever.Even the Spirit
of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither
knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you –
John 14:16-17
John
answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one
mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to
unloose:he shall baptize you with the
Holy Ghost and with fire – Luke 3:16
Howbeit
when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:for he shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:and he will shew you things to come – John 16:13
And when
they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and
they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with
boldness.And the multitude of them that
believed were of one heart and of one soul:neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was
his own; but they had all things common.And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of
the Lord Jesus:and great grace was upon
them all – Acts 4:31-33
The kingdom
of God is righteousness,
peace and joy in the Holy Ghost…acknowledge him…seek after Him. Walk in his
love (charity), truth and obedience experiencing his grace and overcoming
power…Walk Christ-like.......
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost – Romans 14:17
Even the
righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all
them that believe: for there is no difference. For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God. Being justified freely by his grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus:Whom
God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his
righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance
of God – Romans 3:22-25
For the kingdom
of God is not in word,
but in power – 1 Corinthians 4:20
Now the
God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in
hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost – Romans 15:13
But ye shall receive power, after
the Holy Ghost is come upon you:and ye
shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judaea, and in Samaria,
and unto the uttermost part of the earth – Acts 1:8
Now when
they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to
the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?Then
Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the
Holy Ghost.For the promise is unto you,
and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord
our God shall call – Acts 2:37-39
And my speech and preaching was
not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and
of power – 1 Corinthians 2:4
For our
gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy
Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you
for your sake.And ye became followers
of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy
in the Holy Ghost – 1 Thessalonians 1:5-6
While
Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on them which heard the
word.And they of the circumcision which
believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the
Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.For they heard them speak with tongues, and
magnify God. Then answered Peter. Can any man forbid water, that these should
not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?And he commanded them to be baptized in the
name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days – Acts 10:44-48
Then
remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with
water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift
as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I
could withstand God? – Acts 11:16-17
But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law.And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections
and lusts.If we live in the Spirit, let
us also walk in the Spirit.Let us not
be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another –
Galatians 5:22-26
Here are a few excerpts identified in quotations
from my hopeful upcoming book “Drawing a Line in the Sand Revisited”:
“Here is a
scripture that reveals when the term 'Christian' is first used:
And when
he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch.And it came to pass, that a whole year they
assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people.And the disciples were called Christians
first in Antioch
– Acts 11:26
Our true identity
is in Jesus Christ. We are called Christians, this is our identity and our
identity is not in some denominational or non-denominational name or church
organization. The church we attend does not define us, but the Holy Spirit
(God-Jesus) does. The term “Christian”
began to be used to describe followers of Jesus Christ (Acts 11:26).This term is still used today. This term
should be taken more seriously for those who call themselves Christians. All of
us who believe in the birth, life, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection
of Jesus Christ are Christians. All of us who believe that Jesus was God come
down unto men manifest in the flesh as the scripture reads, the word made
flesh, are Christians of the right spirit. All of us who believe that Jesus is
coming back for his people (saved believers) are Christians with faith and
hope. All of us who love the Lord God and others with all our heart are
Christians. Once again, the term “Christian” means to be Christ-like. P.
109-110
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto
you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and
wherein ye stand;By which also ye are
saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed
in vain.For I delivered unto you first
of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according
to the scriptures;And that he was
buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures – 1
Corinthians 15:1-4
I wrote this scripture previously revealing what the
Apostles and Paul preached unto people.They
preached Jesus and the resurrection.This is the gospel of Christ; this is what Paul first received and how
he was saved.As you can read in the
above verses, Paul declared unto them the gospel which he preached by which
they were saved. The death of Jesus Christ on the cross set us free and brought
us salvation.His resurrection gave us
hope.His comforter sent unto us, the
Holy Ghost, brought us power, a witness and the boldness to speak and walk in
the Lord Jesus Christ with love and truth without fear.We are to walk humble, be just and love
mercy. P. 115
“The spirit of man is the candle (lamp)
of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly – Proverbs 20:27
Our spirit is the lamp and the Spirit of life (Spirit of
Christ-salvation in Jesus-Spirit of God) is the oil for our lamp. The baptismal
with fire in the Holy Ghost is what lights the oil into a burning flame that
shines forth with witness and power unto the world dispelling the darkness.
When you feel and sense things in the spirit or rather in your own spirit you
most likely we feel it in your belly as Proverbs 20:27 reveals. P. 111
God is a Spirit and God is love (charity). What are the
greatest gifts of God and the greatest long-term evidence of walking in the
Holy Spirit of God? By all we’ve read and learned so far it is that we walk in
love (charity) and truth.Many churches
and denominations put to much focus on certain gifts without giving the true
foundation of the gifts.The foundation
of all things from God is built on love through the sacrifice of Jesus
Christ.Love is sacrifice and God is
love (1 John 4:8). P. 114
Here are some scriptures that give the purpose behind
tongues and prophecy:
Wherefore
tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not:
but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which
believe.If therefore the whole church
be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in
those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are
mad?But if all prophesy, and there come
in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is
judged of all:And thus are the secrets
of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship
God, and report that God is in you of a truth – 1 Corinthians 14:22-25
Some churches and
denominations don’t believe in speaking in tongues or don’t believe that
tongues (cloven tongues of fire) should take place in the church. Once again,
not every church is used by the Spirit of God in the same manner or operation. You
may not ever speak in tongues, because we know according to the word of God not
all people will, but to deny and not believe in it would be unwise since it
comes from the Holy Ghost. We all have to ask God for wisdom and to guide us. We
have to watch what we say, and we have to watch what we teach and what we learn
from others.The Holy Ghost is the
Spirit of truth and without the Holy Ghost in and upon your ministry there will
be no “anointed” truth concerning the word of God that comes out of you.Here is a scripture that lets us know that
tongues should not be denied or forbidden:
Wherefore, brethren covet to prophesy, and forbid not to
speak with tongues – 1 Corinthians 14:39
The majority of people who are baptized with fire in the
Holy Ghost will speak in tongues (tongues of fire) when being filled. We now
know through scripture that I have written from the word of God that some
people may not speak with tongues upon being filled with the Holy Ghost, but
some possibly may speak the word of God with boldness, prophesy or speak a word
of knowledge (Acts 4:31-33).Once again,
the sign that usually follows the baptismal of the Holy Ghost with fire is
speaking in tongues (tongues of fire) as the Spirit of God gives utterance.When the Holy Ghost is speaking in any
manner, the devil (our adversary) gets out of the way and runs.There is power in the Holy Ghost and in the
blood and name of Jesus.
Some people, churches and denominations even say that
speaking in tongues is of the devil. Be very careful what you say or you may
possibly blaspheme the Holy Ghost without knowing it.In all the word of God there has never been a
written account of a devil speaking through anyone in tongues.
Ye
stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy
Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye – Acts 7:51
Some churches and denominations may focus on the gift of
tongues to much. There is so much more to teach about concerning the Holy
Spirit than just speaking in tongues.Denominations, churches and pastors don’t let the teaching of the
infilling of the Holy Ghost only be about speaking in tongues.The Holy Ghost is so much more than
that.There is so much spiritual detail
and teachings concerning the Holy Ghost that we can’t possibly understand it
all. How can we possibly comprehend the power and Spirit of the Ancient of
Days?
I form
the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do
all these things – Isaiah 45:7”
P. 114-115
All of the scriptures
applied in this entire writing came from my 1972 King James Bible. I also applied them all, plus so much more, in
the new book that I’ve written for a teaching on one of the topics in my book, which
is the Gift of the Holy Ghost.
But after
that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works
of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by
the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on
us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his
grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.This is a faithful saying, and these things I
will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be
careful to maintain good works.These
things are good and profitable unto men – Titus 3:4-8
Who is he that overcometh the
world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?This is he that came by water and blood, even
Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood.And it is the Spirit that beareth witness,
because the Spirit is truth.For there
are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.And there are
three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and
these three agree in one – 1 John 5:5-8
Here are some words from the chorus of a song written by a
Christian “rock” group called Decyfer Down. These words mean a lot to me and if
they come from your heart to the Lord God, Saviour and Holy Ghost – Jesus
Christ, then they’ll mean something to you as well:
“I want to love what you love, I want to see what you see, I
want a heart that burns like a fire in me, I want your light in my life, I want my heart renewed…Here I
am…forever with you”
Here’s a great worship song called “Holy Spirit” by Bryan
& Katie Torwalt:
What is the purpose behind my hopeful upcoming new book “Drawing a Line
in the Sand Revisited”, why was it written and what audience will it appeal to?
"My
book was primarily written to reestablish God’s word which
was already written and to also support creation. I wrote it to lift up
the name of Jesus drawing a line in the sand against Satan and all
those who bring and try to keep division in the body of Christ. Too
many churches and denominations slander each other, backbite and
separate
themselves from one another just because of their denominational name,
traditions, standards, customs or personal theological view and
teachings. I
witnessed this going on in various ways while living in Louisiana for
thirty-four years. Certain
denominations have always been divided against one another although
there are
many true spirit-filled, kind and loving Christians within every
denomination
and church. My book may also help bridge a gap between some Christians
and
denominations through biblical scripture. We are all one body as
brothers and
sisters in Christ no matter what denomination or church we attend as
long as
the GOSPEL OF CHRIST is being taught and preached. The gospel of Christ
is
the birth, life, teachings, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection
of
Jesus Christ. This book also contains a great deal of scripture verses
for ease of memory, especially from what book, chapter and verse it is
located.
We are to love, care for, encourage and lift up one another.
God created diversity not division.
I wrote my book to answer many questions
people have. I also wrote it to share valuable information, sources, links as
well as empower people through facts and biblical scripture guided by the Holy
Spirit on several topics, but under four major categories which are: Salvation,
Holy Ghost, Water Baptism and Divisions in the body of Christ. The book itself is an excellent study guide.
I pray and hope that my book
can and will be used as a tool for the kingdom of God
and to reach the lost.”
My testimony to draw the line in the sand:
I received a prophetic message during a prayer service
in Louisiana
by a woman in 2008 that I would write a book that would help people, but I
definitely didn’t know anything about book writing or publishing. I wrote this
Christian book called “Drawing a Line in the Sand” and had it self-published in
2009 through AuthorHouse Publishing. I put my own money into the book but
I never was satisfied with it at all. When I started writing the book I was
grieving over the loss of my mother Vicki, and so it was a way for me to cope
with her death which truly kept me grounded in the word of God.
The book was kind of boring and immaturely written and the Spirit of the
Lord knew how I felt about it. I wrote some things that I believe were not
correct as well. The last section of the book that I wrote on end-times was
something that I was not ready to write back then, so I completely removed
it. I have grown immensely as a writer since 2008 both in wisdom as well
as knowledge on the word of God. Writing and self publishing my first
book was definitely a growing and learning experience for me and I learned a
lot even about marketing. However, the book did have potential and served
as well as a biblical study guide. I really had to just spend some time
rewriting, updating, editing and most importantly defining the purpose of my
book.
I learned a great lesson to not ever rush something that you are meant to
take time with it. Put true quality into your work and not
quantity. I received two more prophetic messages in 2013 and 2014 by a
man at the church where I currently attend in Washington State.
I knew the prophetic message for me was from God because this man didn’t know
me at all. The first time he came up to me out of the blue and said,
“You’ve stopped writing, and God wants you to write.” You could imagine how I
felt because this man didn’t know me at all and it was true. I did stop
writing and was discouraged, but that really encouraged me and so I created a
facebook, twitter page and a blog for writing. The second prophecy I received from the
same man again in early 2014 was a message about God using my writings to help
many people. He said that my writings would even go into dark places to reach
people where others have not. I knew in my heart and spirit that I needed
to rewrite and revise my first book and then get it published again. I began
writing on two books at once. The first was rewriting “Drawing a Line in the
Sand”, and thank God I have accomplished that. The second book I am
currently writing is on the rise of the Antichrist. It will be about the
last days but with a new twist that no other end-time book offers that I know
of.
Let God draw a line in the sand today against the gates of hell in your life. Don't give up, BE a fighter...
I
have several writings in my blog which has received some small publicity and now over 1,900
views. So far the writing that has received the most views is a sample writing from my manuscript on Enoch, Noah, giants
and the flood along with so much more. Feel free to check it
out.......
This is my attempt at a self-made promo video for my new
hopeful upcoming book called "Drawing a Line in the Sand Revisited."
Really I just like the song lol, but the video reveals reasons why my book was
written as well as some questions & topics answered and covered in my work.
The song playing during the video is called "Draw the Line" by the
Christian rock band 'Disciple'.
