Something changed on August 8th. I sensed it in the spirit, and I knew that it was big. It came with the scary feeling of great movement as if the winds on high were contending, or an army of angels paused for battle had been released to go to war. What I felt was confirmed to me last night by Robin Bullock in a special broadcast of Elijah Streams. I believe the time of God's patience is over, and that heaven's armies are now on the offensive.
I saw something else last night when I was sitting outside on my porch. (I had not yet seen the interview with Robin Bullock.) I was watching a video of a group of patriots discussing the FBI raid on the president's home, just considering things, when I saw a light in the sky. It was as if I were catching it out of the corner of my eye. My spirit instantly perked up, and I looked in that direction to see an angel descending with a big sword in his hand. He was full of light, but the figure was translucent, like he was a hologram I could see through. I didn't trust the dimness of my spiritual vision, and wanted to be sure about it, so I asked the Lord if I had seen something real. He confirmed that it was real, and then told me the angel was His angel of death. He said that tomorrow (today, August 10) a lot of people were going to die, and that it would continue to the end of the month. He said the angel would seek them out, those who were slated for death.
I am 100% sure about what I felt Monday night. I am less certain about the angel thing, but it's obvious what would confirm whether that was real, and I think it will be quite obvious if it bears out. I will add that everything I've experienced came with the strong sense that the action was directed at the enemies of God, who have been stupidly opposing Him at every turn despite being given every chance to change their ways. I also have the strong conviction that the people who truly belong to Him and the ones He is doing all this to help have nothing to fear. They will only see it with their eyes.
I know my frustrations are so minuscule in the grand scheme of things, but it definitely made me feel better to vent. I feel God was able to temper my frustrations. By no means was my cussing directed to Him, but it was more so describing the emotions dwelling inside me about events playing out around the country/world. I guess you could say, I fall into the 'helpless' segment. I want to do more, so I continually ask Him for guidance. I feel, I'm just one small person in a good vs. evil battle the size I just cannot fathom. The evil battles playing out across the country are slowly hitting home, and I find myself turning to God now more than ever. I'm upset I didn't turn to Him more frequently sooner. I guess that is part of the Great Awakening that's occurring.
Yeah, we're pretty small, but God is pretty big, and your connection to Him is a lot more significant than you might realize. There is nothing between you and Him in Christ. The things that cloud that up are all in our own heads from stuff we learned in the world. Unfortunately, a lot of it comes from religious teaching that is different from what God says about Himself and His salvation.
I'm sure He'll give you all the guidance you need as you lean into Him because He's delighted to do that for you, but if you want to take it to another level, seek to understand Him. Seek Him to know Him. The more you know Him and understand Him, the more your guidance will come from that. You can see a look in a good friend's eye and know exactly what he's thinking because you know him. It will be like that, and He will show you meaningful things to do that will make a difference if that's your desire.
It's something of a paradox, isn't it? We strive to seek God, but in that we must relax, knowing that it is His good pleasure to give us the kingdom. We strive to have holy conduct, all the time knowing our righteousness before Him is absolutely perfect and can never be earned by anything we can do.
Anyway, I pray you get the answeres you seek, that you will have success in all that you do, and that all the good you desire will come to your hand. Remember to have some fun (good fun) in spite of what's going on in the world. It'll balance your mind against all that awfulness, but the best thing about it is that the devil really hates it. God isn't the frowny uptight miser portrayed by most religious traditions. He enjoys being with us, and He likes to hear us laugh.
