A Message Of Preparation

DA 11:36 "The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place.
1TH 5:1 Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, [2] for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. [3] While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
Rev. 13 [16] He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, [17] so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
"I tell you that things are going to be changing for the world over the next few months and year. For government systems will take on a new change of direction. Osama Bin Ladin will be found out by the end of the year. His capture will be good for the minds of many of the American people, but many in his original country will mourn for his capture. I tell you that you cannot root out all evil. You pull out old weeds from a garden and new ones will take their place. Even though these things will happen, liberalism will take on the form of much of the American governmental system. For the political party will be one of acceptance. Liberalism will be the order of the campaign coming this fall. No more will agendas be made as they have been made. I tell you that America will be losing ground with the rest of the world in terms of its ethical impact. For marriages and children will be held in jeopardy because of new laws that will be passed. I tell you that it is a short time before the anti-christ figure comes upon the scene. He will exalt himself above all others. I tell you that when they say "peace and safety" then beware, for that is when the real deception comes."
"Look to the east, for when you see the nations gather together then you will know that they are jockeying for position. Then out of a middle eastern country he will come. He will promise peace to many, but I tell you that peace will be far from his campaign. Do not take the mark that he desires, for with it then he has full control. You don't need to build-up resources for this day, for I will take care of you. I will take care of my people, and I will establish them in all of my ways. My people will be safe in times of trial and in times of distress. So, set you hearts and minds on Me and not on these things. Behold, I will come, and my kingdom will be an everlasting one. The sound of weeping and the cares of the world will be gone. I say these things to prepare you for what lies ahead."
Seek The Building Of My Spirit

1CO 3:10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. [11] For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, [13] his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. [14] If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. [15] If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
2SA 7:5 "Go and tell my servant David, `This is what the LORD says: Are you the one to build me a house to dwell in? [6] I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day. I have been moving from place to place with a tent as my dwelling. [7] Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, "Why have you not built me a house of cedar?" '
"A new day is coming. A new day is coming for many of my people. No more will my people be lacking. I tell you that the enemy
of your souls will not triumph over you. From the rising of the sun to its setting down, I will watch over you. I tell you that
difficult days are ahead but I will watch over you. Beware of what the world will promise you. Know that I will see you through the
trials and temptations of this life. The waters will not overtake you and the flames will not touch you. I tell you that divine protection is
found under my wings. Nothing will harm or hurt my people if they are found under my wings. "
"I tell you these things because you are entering into a new era and time. For the church, as a whole, will be going through a lot of
changes. What are those changes? "
(The Lord showed me a vision of a small church. I was looking at it from above without a ceiling or roof on it. The walls were made of dirt and people were beginning to leave. Many of them were climbing up on ladders on the sides of the building, where the dirt walls were. They then climbed up and walked away. I noticed several pieces of rubble and rock where once a building was. There were pews and other accessories that one might find in a church today, except that the building itself was set into a dirt enclosure. The scene changed and now I saw jewels and riches being spilt upon the ground. As I watched, a man was taking something and was dispersing or scattering it upon the ground from side to side as he walked. This continued for some time, and then the vision faded.)
"I tell you that many within the body of Christ will pursue after riches in this hour. Those who pursue after the things of this world will be consumed by it. A new type of church will emerge out of the ground. It will be a place where I have "hollowed" it out. You will need to be in "protection" in these days, for no more will governments and agencies be a protection for you. Seek the building of my spirit."
