The Posture That Pleases God // Rev. Jarrett Wallace by Chapel Roswell

The post July 20, 2025 – Lost People Matter to God – Rev. Chris Perumalla appeared first on Summit Community Church.

Send us a textWhat does it mean to glorify God with your body? In a world of distorted freedom and personal truth, this message from 1 Corinthians 6 offers a bold, beautiful vision of sex, identity, and the sacredness of our bodies.-------In 1 Corinthians 6:12–20, Paul confronts the Corinthian church's confusion about sexuality, freedom, and the human body. Surrounded by a culture steeped in immorality, these early believers needed a fresh understanding of what it meant to glorify God with their bodies. This sermon explores Paul's warning against twisting Christian liberty, rationalizing sin, and misusing what God calls sacred. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and purchased at a high price. Believers are called to flee sexual immorality, not just avoid it, and live into their redeemed identity. Because in Christ, our freedom isn't for self-indulgence, but for a sacred purpose.HOME | PLAN YOUR VISIT | BLOG | DIGITAL BULLETIN

In this powerful message, Rev. Tim Lester Crisostomo invites us to reflect on our personal walk with Christ—are we truly living in His image? As believers, we are called not just to believe but to become more like Jesus every day—walking in love, holiness, prayer, and deep devotion to His Word. This is a call to transformation: to trust God fully, to hope in Him alone, and to reflect His character even in unseen moments. Let this message stir your heart and bring you back to your first love.

Doing Great Exploits In The House of God | Rev. Chris Wilson A. by Calvary International Christian Centre

In this heartfelt and timely episode, we dive into the prophetic cry of Habakkuk, exploring how his questions to God mirror our own frustrations with injustice, delay, and disappointment—especially in our personal lives and as a nation.Drawing from Habakkuk 1:2–5, The Senior Pastor, Rev. Peter Ameadaji unpacks the prophet's complaint about the violence and corruption in his time, which bears striking similarities to the current state of our world, especially in Nigeria. But more importantly, we reflect on God's response: “Be utterly amazed…” — a reminder that God is always at work, even when we can't see it.This episode teaches us:How to trust God's eternal timeline, even when answers seem delayed.The importance of patient, persistent prayer during times of national and personal crisis.The transformative journey from frustration to faith, just like Habakkuk experienced.Why “the just shall live by faith” is still deeply relevant today.Whether you're praying for change in your nation or waiting on God in a personal situation, this episode offers encouragement, insight, and hope that God's answer will come—in His perfect time.

"The City of God" Rev. Joe Evans

Revelation 7:9-17 The Great Multitude in White Robes After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!” Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?” I answered, “Sir, you know.” And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, “they are before the throne of God     and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne     will shelter them with his presence. ‘Never again will they hunger;     never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,'     nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne     will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.'     ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.'”

April 27, 2025 What We Give God -Rev. Kara Root

Sermon | The Grace of God Rev. Marshall Brown Senior Pastor2 Samuel 7:1-18

We often shy away from the reality of God's judgment.  However, God's Word is clear that it's appointed for man to die once and after that to face judgment.  A healthy understanding of the judgment of God enables us to live faithfully while also embracing a richer love for the work of Christ.  

More Life From God, Rev. Dr. Colleen Hurley-Bates (3.30.25) by Sermons

     Satan is permitted, for a time, to rule over the majority in this world. When Jesus began His public ministry, He faced a series of tests from Satan, one of which was an offer to receive the kingdoms of the world without going to the cross. Satan told Jesus, “I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish” (Luke 4:6). Satan took possession of “this domain and its glory” by God's permission and man's sin, presumably, when Adam and Eve chose to disobey God and follow Satan (Gen 3:1-8). Satan said to Jesus, “Therefore if You worship before me, it shall all be Yours” (Luke 4:7). Satan's offer had to be true in order for the temptation to be real. At some time in the future, Satan will share his authority with the Antichrist, because he advances his agenda (Rev 13:1-2). Three times Jesus referred to Satan as “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11). Other passages of Scripture call Satan “the god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4), and “the prince of the power of the air” (Eph 2:2), informing us “that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5:19). Satan rules as a tyrant who has “weakened the nations” (Isa 14:12), and currently “deceives the whole world” (Rev 12:9). He personally attacked Adam and Eve (Gen 3:1-7), Job (Job 1:6-12; 2:1-13), David, (1 Chr 21:1), Joshua the high priest (Zec 3:1-2), Jesus (Matt 4:1-11), Judas (John 13:27), and Peter (Luke 22:31-32). He continues to attack God's people today (1 Pet 5:8), practices deception (2 Cor 11:13-15), and has well developed strategies of warfare (Eph 6:10-12). Furthermore, humanity is living in an “evil age” (Gal 1:4), under “the dominion of Satan” (Acts 26:18), whose sphere of influence is called “the domain of darkness” (Col 1:13).      As Christians, we have victory in Christ. At the moment we trusted Christ as Savior, God “rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins” (Col 1:13-14). As Christians, we have been gifted with God's own righteousness (Rom 5:17; 2 Cor 5:21; Phil 3:9), and will never face condemnation (Rom 8:1). Furthermore, God “has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (Eph 1:3), and called us to serve as “ambassadors for Christ” (2 Cor 5:20), sharing the gospel message with others.      God the Father has promised to give Jesus the kingdoms of this world, saying, “I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Your possession” (Psa 2:8; cf. Isa 2:1-5; Dan 2:44; 7:14). This will occur after the seven-year Tribulation; at which time it will be said, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever” (Rev 11:15; cf. 20:1-3). Satan was judged at the cross (John 12:31; 16:11; Col 2:14-15), and awaits future punishment. His judgment is very near when he is cast out of heaven during the Tribulation (Rev 12:7-12); at which time his wrath is greatest against Israel. After the return of Christ (Rev 19:11-16) and the establishment of His kingdom (Rev 20:1-6), Satan will be confined to the abyss for a thousand years (Rev 20:1-3). Afterwards, he is released for a brief time and will again deceive the nations and lead a rebellion against God (Rev 20:7-8), but will be quickly defeated (Rev 20:9), and cast into the Lake of Fire, where he will remain, with his demons and all unbelievers forever (Matt 25:41; Rev 20:10-15).      Those who understand their fallen spiritual state and utter helplessness to save themselves can turn to Christ as their Savior and avoid the Lake of Fire with its eternal torments. But this means the lost person must be convinced of their position in this world, and then must choose Christ. Tenney states: "To convince any unbeliever of sin, righteousness, and judgment is beyond human ability. It may be possible to fix upon him the guilt of some specific sin if there is sufficient evidence to bring him before a jury; but to make him acknowledge the deeper fact, that he is a sinner, evil at heart, and deserving of punishment because he has not believed in Christ, is quite another matter. To bring a man to some standard of ethics is not too difficult; for almost every person has ideals that coincide with the moral law at some point. To create in him the humiliating consciousness that his self-righteousness is as filthy rags in comparison with the spotless linen of the righteousness of God cannot be effected by ordinary persuasion. Many believe in a general law of retribution; but it is almost impossible to convince them that they already stand condemned. Only the power of the Holy Spirit, working from within, can bring about that profound conviction which leads to repentance. The Spirit anticipates and makes effective the ministry of the disciples in carrying the message to unbelievers."[1]      Satan has been judged and will spend eternity in the lake of fire. Though Satan has been judged, his punishment is pending execution. Furthermore, those who side with Satan in this life will be judged with him in eternity. According to Ryrie, “At the cross, Christ triumphed over Satan, serving notice on unbelievers of their judgment to come.”[2] Radmacher notes, “Satan was judged at the Cross, and the Holy Spirit would convince people of the judgment to come. Satan has been judged, so all who side with him will be judged with him. There is no room for neutrality. A person is either a child of God or a child of the devil.”[3] Those who reject Christ as Savior naturally default to an alliance with Satan, and these will spend eternity in the lake of fire with him, “the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt 25:41). The lake of fire is avoidable. If the lost simply trust in Christ as their Savior, they will have eternal life and spend eternity with God in heaven. However, if they reject Christ as Savior, then they will spend eternity in hell, for “if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire” (Rev 20:15).

In this episode of the Inherent Identity Podcast, host Tyson engages in an enlightening conversation with Summer Gross, an author and reverend dedicated to helping people develop a deeper and more genuine connection with God. They discuss the concept of 'interactive gratitude,' the importance of experiencing trust as an embodied concept rather than mere information, and how to approach pain and lamentation in God's presence. Key takeaways include the practice of being fully present to connect with others and God, understanding how God views our gratitude, and recognizing that trust is built through regular, embodied experiences. Summer also shares practical exercises such as 'Emanuel journaling' to aid in overcoming blockages in divine connection, highlighting ways to bring all emotions, particularly anger and shame, into the presence of God for healing and wholeness. 00:00 Introduction to Interactive Gratitude 01:13 Welcome to the Inherent Identity Podcast 01:23 Meet Summer Joy Gross 01:59 Experiencing God's Compassion and Presence 03:18 The Power of Being Fully Present 07:27 Practices for Grounding and Stillness 09:10 Emanuel Journaling: A Path to Healing 19:52 Understanding Attachment and Trust 27:00 Bringing Emotions into God's Presence 30:45 Directionality in Spiritual Practices 32:24 Naming the Cost of Pain 34:42 Connecting with God Through Community 36:20 Support Groups and Spiritual Direction 37:30 The Presence Project and Other Resources 40:19 Reflecting on God's Presence 48:28 Building Trust and Overcoming Anger 51:08 Final Thoughts and Resources Connect with Summer: Website: https://www.athirstforgod.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc5v6JTZin8D3S_F10rAd7Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/revsummerjoy/ The Presence Project: https://www.patreon.com/thepresenceproject Connect with Tyson: Website: https://www.inherentidentity.com/ The Receive Experience: https://inherentidentity.com/receive-experience

Genesis 18: 1-15 We will unpack this surprising story in which Abraham gets a visit from three “men.” There is some dramatic ambiguity about the identity of these visitors. Scripture calls them three men, but Abraham addresses these three as “My Lord,” when he rushes to invite them to stop at his humble camp and be refreshed. Then Abraham “puts on the dog” as they say where I am from. He offers a feast and the Covenant promise is reiterated with a specific timeline. Sarah finds this promise laughable. What can we learn from these founding paragons of faith and their struggles with the promise of God, even when the Almighty is eating at your kitchen table!

Thank you for listening to this episode. We pray it blesses you in Jesus name. In this episode Bro, Savala preached our first Sunday service of the new year. God did some great things in this service and we hope this helps.

Protection in the Coming Storms (audio) David Eells 1/8/25 Ministry Before the Great Storm Tony Hinton - 02/27/2005 (David's notes in red) I had a dream where my wife and I were floating along a body of water. It appeared to be a lake but was large like an ocean. We were each on a separate float, which was yellow-gold in color. Like Noah they were above the waters of the curse of death. The waters are also the peoples of the world. The yellow gold is the nature of Christ, which separates (sanctifies) and preserves the righteous from the curse on the world. We were laying on our backs on these floats, looking up at a brilliant sun and beautiful blue sky. At this time the water was still like glass. We were dressed in white body suits similar to skin diving suits. Those in white are the righteous that are separated from the world (body suits) with their face to the Son of God in faith rather than on the world and the wicked. In our hands, we each had Bibles and were reading to each other, taking turns reading aloud. These were special Bibles because they were in no way affected by the weather or water. The ink did not run if they got wet and the pages did not blow in the wind. The special Bibles are the unleavened bread, which is not blown about with the winds of the doctrines of men. The lake was huge and we floated all over this lake together, just enjoying reading and being together. When the wind would start to blow, we would join hands (my right, her left). She is on your right hand as Christ and his true church (the called out ones. We continued to read, holding the Bibles with our other hand. When the rains began we held hands even tighter As the church should with Christ and continued to read louder, so we could be heard above the dark sky of the winds and rains. These were intense dark rains, but they would not last long and the sun would come out again, and the sky would be beautiful and blue again. These are the birth pains of coming tribulation which will grow in intensity and frequency. Every day it would seem that we would see different and new parts of this huge lake. As we came to a different part of this lake, it was a beautiful part, but there was a cove off the main body of water. From this cove, we began to hear cries. At the same time we both became aware of something under the surface of the water. It was bad and very foreboding. God's true people will receive clear revelation of the dragon, beast, or antichrist in the peoples of the world. Isa 27:1 In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster (Hebrew: also Dragon) that is in the sea. Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. 10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. As we prayed, it left and headed up towards the cove where the cries were coming from. We prayed again. I said, “We need to go see if we can help whoever it was we were hearing”. My wife said, “Yes, but what about the thing under the water”. However, even without talking we knew that we had to agree and go, so we did. Many will seek to stay hidden from the cries for help but the need to help those who are in danger of the beast will outweigh the fear of the Dragon itself. Agreeing to go, we went a long way up the cove, almost losing sight of the main body of water. There were several other coves off this cove, and we could tell that there appeared to be a maze of coves. The coves are the smaller bodies of people to whom you and others are sent, which will lead to other bodies. The major body on the broad road will not be saved. At this point, a dark and rainy wind came up out of nowhere and blew us apart. We could see each other but had been blown apart. We began paddling as hard as we could with our free hand towards each other. Troubles will separate the body but the hands here represent our own efforts to save ourselves and keep our feeling of safety in unity. As it was with the early disciples you may be separated from your wife or your church for a time as will happen to many for the sake of those who need to hear God's voice from you. The bibles were still in our other hands. Then the winds began blowing so hard, and the waves became so high that we lost sight of each other. This will happen in tribulation when the peoples are in great turmoil and rise up against the true God. Isa 57:20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt. 21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked. I felt my heart faint, and despair gripped my soul, and I knew it was the same for my wife. With all that was in me, I started crying out for Jesus to help us. Suddenly, a voice came out of the midst of the storm and said, “Use your arm with the Word as your paddle...Hurry, for worse, much worse storms, never before seen lay ahead”. This separation will bring many to deep, self-crucifying repentance but the righteous will learn to live by faith in the promises of God's Word rather than their own self-efforts. Many will be translated from place to place so that the body will be unified through their faith. I took the Bible and started paddling while shouting the Word. Instantly, I began to move over the waves through the wind and rain. Then I made it to my wife, who was crying because she knew then that I was coming for her. It is not just the knowledge of the word but the spoken Word that will save and unify the body through tribulation. Through much effort, we again clasped hands. All seemed to be well, even though this storm continued for a little while longer. The storm then passed with the sun coming back out. We rolled back over on our backs, basking in the sun, and began to sing sweet songs of praise to Jesus for saving us. We rested in him. When we have entered the rest through our own wilderness tribulations by keeping our eyes on the Son of God we are prepared to give this gift to others in need. Then it was morning and we again heard the cries coming from the cove. We agreed that I would go, and my wife would stay so that she could keep the main body of water in sight. I would follow the cries no further than I could hear my wife's voice so that we would each know where each of us was, as I went to locate the cries coming from the cove. Contrary to popular opinion many men will go out to evangelize and many women will teach the younger women and children in communal places of refuge just as it was in the time of the Gospels and Acts and as we are commanded in the Word. History must repeat, “The things that have been are the things that shall be” (Eccl.1:9). Also, those men who are called to stay with the baggage in David's day shared in the plunder of conquering the enemy. 1Sa 30:21 And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them. 22 Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away, and depart. 23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which Jehovah hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand. 24 And who will hearken unto you in this matter? for as his share is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his share be that tarrieth by the baggage: they shall share alike. As I began to make my way towards the cove, I remembered the thing under the water, and I prayed for Jesus to protect my wife. Rounding a bend in this cove, I came upon another cove. There were all kinds of people on black floats, trying to make their way towards the main body of water. These in black floats are those who are called of God but have not been sanctified in separation from the world and are therefore in danger. They were entangled in a huge, evil looking black vine that came up out of the water. The vine had thorns on it and at the end of the thorns were hooks. These hooks had hold of these people. Some had been there a long time and were still, appearing to be dead. Others just laid there moaning, moving only slightly. Those that had just gotten entangled were thrashing around wildly in the water screaming for help. These were the cries we had heard. The people were of all different colors, yellow, black, brown, and white, and young and old alike. Those who are called out of the world are entangled by the vine of their carnal life which springs from the earth out of which the fruit must grow. Isa 27:2 In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it. 3 I Jehovah am its keeper; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. 4 Wrath is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! Some are twice dead and plucked up by the roots. Some are entangled in carnal religion and religious leaders that cater to the fleshly man. 2Pe 2:18 For, uttering great swelling [words] of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error; 19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage. 20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first. 21 For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire. Within myself I thought if I went into this maze, I too would be hooked and my wife would be left alone. I then heard a clear voice say, “FEAR NOT”. “Use your paddle to cut them free”. I began to swing at the vine with my hand that had the Bible, which I had used as a paddle, which had suddenly become a razor-sharp sword. Stunned, I continue to swing the sword, cutting away the vine and the hooked thorns. The people would fall free and turn over on their back and begin to float in the cove towards the main body of water. We were weeping with joy and thanksgiving as the people were freed. Those who have overcome and are sent must be careful not to be defiled with the leaven of the unsanctified. Jas 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. As long as they use the sword of the spoken Word against the flesh they will be safe and those who listen will be set free by learning to face the Son by faith. Then I froze as I heard my wife's voice. She was a long way off, and I told everyone to be quiet so I could tell from what direction her voice was coming. She was calling out that the thing under the water had come back...to hurry. I knew that this thing was powerful and could pull her under, if she was alone. Crying out, I ask Jesus to help her. There will be attempts by the Beast against the camps of the saints but faith towards God will preserve them. Turning to those still caught up in the evil vine, I told them “Hold on, help is coming”. I then told those who could paddle to follow me, each following the person in front of them out of the cove towards the main body of water. Those who are committed but yet unstable will be guided to the camp of the saints where prophets, pastors, and teachers will nourish them. We began to paddle toward my wife's voice, but I could not seem to get anywhere because with so many people in the water beside me, it was creating a drag or wake, and was hampering my progress. I then remembered what Jesus had said, “That a worse storm is coming, a storm that has never been”. All I could think of was getting to my wife, and I asked the Lord to put a hedge of protection around her. Before a day of the Lord comes God's people will be gathered into the ark of Christ. I then thought of all the people still caught up in the evil vine, and I paddled even harder, determined not to be separated from my wife in this storm that was coming. I was strengthened. Some will be gathered but some will be destroyed in the day of the Lord's wrath. Jud 1:22 And on some have mercy, who are in doubt; 23 and some save, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 24 Now unto him that is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in exceeding joy. Finally catching sight of my wife, while paddling towards her, I then saw on the horizon behind her, a wall of very black clouds beginning to form. It was on the other side of the horizon, and it was a WALL of BLACK DARKNESS. Joe 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Jehovah cometh, for it is nigh at hand; 2 a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness... and verse 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah cometh. And Amo 5:20 Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? “Father”, I cried “You are not willing (Greek:  wishing) that any should perish, Stay the storm a while longer”. This storm will be stayed for seven years while the saints are being purified and gathered into Zion, “the tower of the flock”. Mat 24:29 But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven (The called that are not gathered and lose their position with Christ in the heavenlies.), and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect (The Chosen who are gathered) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. I then woke up, and I was crying. My beard and my bed were soaked. I was sick for most of the day. Dan 8:25 And through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in [their] security shall he destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. 26 And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true: but shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days [to come]. 27 And I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business: and I wondered at the vision, but none understood it.     The Davids Protect the Children C.S. (David's notes in red) In a dream, I saw a big, white house sitting on a very lush, green hill. The house was a wood frame house, older style with large white pillars and a porch on the front -- sort of colonial style. (Contending for the faith, which was once delivered unto the saints, that which you heard from the beginning.) As I walked into the house, there was a large room with a very long table. Lots of people were sitting at the table and David was at the head of the table. I remember thinking, this must be the Bible study, but then it was like everybody lived there, too. (David here symbolizes the corporate first-fruits man-child ministry of the tribulation.) I was excited and everyone was giving testimonies and praising the Lord. I also had an infant in my arms, so I was walking around with the baby. (Having born the fruit of Jesus)  The door had an automatic slam-shut screen door on it that would slam every time someone came in or out. (This is to keep the flies out. Beelzebub/Satan is lord of the flies, which represents his children.) I went outside on the porch to see where my husband and son were. My husband was getting together all the young people (the immature in Christ) and the kids to play a soccer game. (The colors of a soccer ball are black and white, representing warfare between evil and good.) There were a few kids who were complaining that they were bored, but really, they just did not want to play soccer either, but my husband convinced them to join. (The mature will teach the immature to fight the good fight of faith.) As I was watching them play, I noticed that the wind picked up and I looked up and the sky was black. All of a sudden, the sky went from sunny and clear to blackness and roaring wind. (Tribulation coming quickly.) It became louder and louder, like many trains. I was shouting for my husband to bring the kids into the white house, but he could not hear me. It was then that I saw these mini tornadoes that were just big enough to pick up the kids and carry them away. I was very worried about the kids. I remember thinking that my husband would be okay but the kids would not. (The immature have not yet put on their armor and come into the white house of God to escape the tribulation tornadoes to come.) I was afraid for them and yelled for them to run to the white house where they would be safe (Abiding in the white house of Christ is safety.), but they could not hear me. I felt desperate. I ran into the house, frantic and tears streaming down my face: “David, we need you. The kids, they are in danger; the storm, the tornados, help!” David calmly arose and came outside. The wind was raging. He began to pray. The wind was so loud it was hard to hear everything he said because he did not even raise his voice. I placed my hands on the pillar and bowed my head and strained to listen. I heard David say, “In the name of Jesus, we command the storm to cease!” My eyes were closed tightly and suddenly the wind ceased and I heard David, still in prayer, say, “Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus!” I opened my eyes and was amazed. The sun was shining, there was complete peace, complete calm. The green grass was glimmering in the sunshine. I looked up and noticed that there was a forcefield around us. It was like a huge globe or dome. (The blood covering applied, as the Passover of the curse of the destroyer. Gal 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.) Through the force field I could see the storm around us: the sky was black and things were flying around. It was sort of like one of those snow globe things that you shake and it snows inside. It was like we were completely enclosed by this powerful force field. I was impressed! Then I wondered about the kids down on the field. I looked down the hill and noticed them coming out from under these coverings. They were kind of like tarps, but part of the grass. (Peter said, “All flesh is as grass” (1 Pet.1:24). The children were protected by the Davids, while still under the dominion of the flesh.) I thought, ‘Wow, that's how they were protected from the tornados.' I was happy I could see my husband and son. But then I noticed that the kids who were complaining about being bored and did not want to play soccer were not there. (The immature will have the protection of the first-fruits Sons, but the sons of perdition, who don't war against evil, will fall away. This is a fulfillment of the type of Jesus' ministry Who also lives and ministers in these Davids. John 17:12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. Jesus said He would return to again shepherd and preserve His sheep in a latter-time David ministry in the wilderness [Eze.34:11,12,23-25; Hos.2:23-3:5; Jer.30:6-11, 21-31:2].) I could see that all of the kids had noticed the force field, too and they were all excited. I decided to run down the hill to talk to them. As I began down the hill, I looked back up at the house and noticed that a river or large stream was coming from the center of the house, down the hill and then ran parallel to the house. (The river of the water of life; the Word of God, flowing from the throne, the place of authority, as in Rev.22:1,2. The man-child sons will be caught up to the throne of God [Rev.12:5], which is the throne the sons of David rule from on earth. 2 Chr 9:8 Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on his throne, to be king for Jehovah thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do justice and righteousness. God is going to spiritually restore the throne of David in heavenly places in Christ on earth.) So I had to cross the stream to get to the field below. It was beautiful, clean, pure, glimmering, shining, sparkling. The sun (Son) was reflecting and shining on it and it was breathtaking. I waded through it and it was warm, and I saw that it was filled with gold glitter that remained on my legs and hands. (The trial of our faith purifies our works and walk and is more precious than gold.) I looked back at David, who was still standing on the porch, as if to tell him, ‘WOW! Do you see this?' I didn't have to say anything! He just smiled. I was like a little girl in a magical land! Covered in gold glitter, glowing, I ran down the hill to greet my husband and all the kids. I was so filled with joy that I pretty much flew down the hill. Then the dream ended. It reminded me of when Jesus spoke to the wind and the sea! This dream really comforted me during Hurricane Rita, when I was lying in bed, listening to the howling, raging wind and the crashing trees. I knew God had definitely had His angels around us when I saw the trees that had fallen all around us and not one touched our buildings. Praise the Lord! The river in my dream was like the river of life; it was so pure and clean and full of gold! I thought maybe the gold was also like faith. I pray for more faith for the coming days. God Bless you!     Survivalism Coming in Evil Times G.W.- 08/22/2012 (David's notes in red) I had a dream where David and I were sitting and talking in what I believe represented the world. As we talked, there was complete and utter chaos going on all around us. It appeared that the whole world was turned upside down and was shaking. Several major catastrophic events had occurred. (The shakings are coming now to prove what is not to be trusted in: governments, nationalism, personal strength, religion, money, people, etc. Heb 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned [them] on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape] who turn away from him that [warneth] from heaven: (If we don't obey God's voice, we will be shaken and judged.) 26 whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven. 27 And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken (Those founded on the Rock of God's Word.), let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe: 29 for our God is a consuming fire. The people who were around us started to act completely insane. They were worse than animals because animals have some sense of control. These people were consumed by fear of the shaking that they were experiencing. It was almost like everything was falling apart all around and nothing was holding together. (Shakings like natural disasters, failed economy and incomes, loss of food and basic services, no health care, crime, martial law, war, terrorism, no fixes in sight, etc., will cause men's hearts to fail them. Luk 21:25 And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows; 26 men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. David said, “I told you they would act like this”. As he said this, a hysterical young girl started to try and grab me (persecution from immature Christianity). It was apparent that she had no sense of sanity left. (She acted like a drowning person who would pull someone under to save herself.) (They will fall for the beast promises a worldly fix, like a covenant with many.) It was apparent to me that the girl possessed no inward thoughts; her whole focus had become grabbing and groping (with the intent to destroy) everything around her. As the unfolding happened, I began to think about relationships I had when people would lose control when the pressure was too much, but it was nothing compared to this. Everywhere I went there was disorder. It was the basic breakdown of every fundamental element of society. I saw people on the floor shaking due to excessive drunkenness and cliques forming that were full of evil and worldly behavior. (When domestic dogs lose the moral compass of a master, they revert back to the pack mentality to survive. It's us against them, guns and crime for survivalism.) One of the people looked like an old Popeye (I can't remember in the dream what he was doing). (Popeye was the worldly hero who was endowed with worldly strength to solve every problem.) I could discern before ever knowing the guy that things were not right with him. But I wanted to give people the benefit of the doubt and a chance. In the end, he proved just as corrupt as everyone else. (Those who are strong and righteous in the world's eyes will fail for not having the spiritual answer to their problems.) I thought to myself, I knew I shouldn't have been hanging out with that guy. What was I thinking? I knew he would do this. (Let us not be influenced by their ways of seeking help or solutions through fear. They will bring their leaven with them and defile the whole body.) At the end of the dream, I remember tasting blood in my mouth and it was very painful. I took my hand to wipe the blood off my mouth and when I looked down at my hand, there were little white meat particles on it, instead of blood. (A warning to not bite and devour one another, as the strong in the world will do to save themselves. Gal 5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.) These coming times are to separate the wheat from the tares. The wheat will not compromise their convictions and will endure the trial trusting in the Lord and holding to His Word. Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, 42 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear. Don't be bribed by your needs to break God's Word. He has given all authority to you to receive your needs by His Word. Php 4:19 And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.     Beware Leaving the Narrow Road John David Feagin - 06/11/2012 (David's notes in red) I rarely ever dream, but this morning I had a weird one. We were driving in what was probably a minivan of some sort (a remnant) on a mountain pass. (This represents the narrow road, the instructions of Scripture, formed by Mount Zion, our heavenly place in God.) On the sides of the road were lots of HUGE python-like snakes as big around as telephone poles. They were side by side and at the edges of the rocks. (Major deception awaits those who leave the narrow road.) I remember there were questions about whether they were mating (Sowing the seed of their deception in hearts) or trying to get to cover from the coming winter storm. (building their own kingdom in those who depart from scripture to support them in tribulation). Probably both (yes). We were safe in the vehicle (abiding in Jesus), but going outside would be dangerous. There were lots of them and they were HUGE. (It is more dangerous than ever to leave the Word or leave the house of abiding in Christ on the Passover.) (This is a warning not to leave the narrow road, or the serpent spirits of strong delusion and the curse will attack you. The serpent's poison is in their heads and that is where they poison people. I suspect the meaning here is larger than just beware of false prophecy through “a spirit of divination” as in Acts 16:16 where the Greek is actually “a spirit, a python”. The larger warning is to not receive understanding from false spirits to corrupt the mind and resulting walk.) Later today, I thought of the python or Pythian spirit, but didn't remember what it was. I was thinking it was mega-grace churchianity that says do what you want, you'll be forgiven, no need to repent, as well as some of the weird stuff in false revivals. It may be that this sort of spirit is about to increase greatly, meaning false revivals, ministries, prophecies, manifestations, etc. All really pagan, demonic manifestations, rather than from God. (Amen to all of the above and more.) Inside the vehicle, we were safe, possibly meaning under God's protection. Amen!
