πŸ’₯*** ( PagVlnC2/3) Have any of the plagues of the great tribulation started on the earth today?




14 Plagues of The Great Tribulation:
 
Mt. 24  Jesus says:

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY words shall not pass away.

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but MY Father only.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

14 Plagues  

(1st 7 plagues are brought by the angels as they sound their 7 trumpets)

#1.  Rev. 8:6 ... hail, fire, mingled with blood ... 1/3 part of trees burnt up & all green grass burnt

πŸ’₯

#2.  Rev. 8:8-9... great mountain burning with fire cast into the sea ...1/3 of sea became blood ...1/3 of creatures in the sea died ... 1/3 of ships destroyed

πŸ’₯

#3.  Rev. 8:10-11 ... great burning star falls from heaven onto the rivers... name of star "Wormwood" ... 1/3 of the rivers become wormwood... many men die of the waters because waters are made bitter.

πŸ’₯

#4.  Rev. 8:12 ... 1/3 of sun, moon, stars "smitten" and go dark... day shown not for a third part; night likewise

πŸ’₯

#5.  Rev. 9:1-11 ... smoke released from bottomless pit darkens sun and air ... locust released with power like scorpions with power to hurt men  for 5 months; those men who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads ... 

Rev. 9:6  And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

πŸ’₯

#6.  Rev. 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

πŸ’₯

#7Rev. 10:6  That there should be time no longer. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as HE hath declared to HIS servants the prophets.


πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Woes of the last 7 angels as they pour out their 7 vials:

#1  Rev. 16:1-2  And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

noisome (sore having a bad odor)

πŸ’₯

#2  Rev. 16:3 angel pours his vial upon the sea and it became as the blood of a dead man and every living soul died in the sea ...

πŸ’₯

#3 Rev. 16:4 Third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters and they became blood.

πŸ’₯

#4. Rev. 16:8  Fourth angel poured his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire and men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues; and they repented not to give HIM glory.

(Reminds you of the great heat of 2023 in Southwest USA, but I think this heat of the vial of the angel on the sun will be even worse and will be all over the world for he poured that vial on the sun which reaches every person on this earth.)

πŸ’₯

#5,   Rev. 16:10  And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

πŸ’₯

#6  Rev. 16:12  Sixth angel pours his vial on river Euphrates and the water dried up ... 3 unclean spirits loosed ... spirits of devils working miracles... gathering world to the battle of Armagedon

πŸ’₯

#7. Rev. 16 ... And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of HIS wrath.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

πŸ’₯*** (BeeSym 2,4) Few there be that find the way of life, says Jesus.


 
 
Matthew 7:13-14

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Many people in churches end up following seducing spirits and doctrines of devils in the trials of life.

I Timothy 4:1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

The churches of the apostasy today eliminate many scripture from the Bible that offend people and they teach people a doctrine which says, "God loves you and wants you to be happy on this earth so of course a divorced woman can remarry and a man is free to marry a divorced woman."  By teaching this, they eliminate several scriptures.

πŸ’₯  Matthew 5:32  (Jesus says:) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

πŸ’₯  I Corinthians 7:10-11  And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:  But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

πŸ’₯  Romans 7:2-3  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

πŸ’₯ Mark 10  (Jesus says)

6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

10 And in the house HIS disciples asked HIM again of the same matter.

11 And HE saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.


Paul explains 2 become one flesh at the time of sexual intercourse, even if you have sex with a prostitute.

πŸ’₯  I Corinthians 6

15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.  16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.

17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

18  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

πŸ’₯  Romans 1  

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of HIM from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even HIS eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

πŸ’₯  I Corinthians 6

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate (homosexuals), nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

A few nights ago, I was watching a show about a big law firm in NYC.  They were doing so many things which were sins according to that which the Holy Scriptures teach.

I thought, "I'm so glad we have the scriptures from the NT Bible because they set boundaries for us so we know what to do and what not to do."

(Also God has given us a new heart and a new Spirit.  Ezekiel 36)

Ezekiel 36:27  And I will put MY spirit within you, and cause you to walk in MY statutes, and ye shall keep MY judgments, and do them.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

A man once told his mother that the Bible is so legalistic.

This very greatly troubled me!  I turned to God and God explained to me the following:

"The people of the world want to be free to sin.  The people of God want to be free from sin."

Jesus said:  John 3:3  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

I Corinthians 2:14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

The Bible sets boundaries for us so we will not go in the way of sin, staying free "from" sin.

Hebrews 10

25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day (of the Lord) approaching.

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know HIM that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto ME, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge HIS people.

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Revelation 3:5  (Jesus says)  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before MY Father, and before HIS angels.

Jesus can blot our name out of the book of life if we fail to overcome through God and HIS Word.

πŸ’₯ (PagVlnCon2/1) *** For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mt. 16:26




Devil says to Jesus:

Matthew 4

8 Again, the devil taketh HIM (Jesus) up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth HIM all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto HIM,  All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and HIM only shalt thou serve.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Absolutely nothing is equal to the Word of God.  That Word God gives us is greater than rubies and greater than reputation and praise of men and greater than all that can be desired in this world.  No husband or wife or children are above the Word God gives us!  The Word of God is above all.

Luke 9  (Jesus says)

23 And HE (Jesus) said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow ME.

24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for MY sake, the same shall save it.

25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of ME and of MY words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when HE shall come in HIS own glory, and in HIS Father's, and of the holy angels.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

πŸ’₯ (BeeSym2/2) *** God speaks to us and we know what to do and that is the "anchor" for our soul.



 
Comments by Joan Boney:

I asked God what HE wanted you to hear today and HE brought to my attention something that happened to me this week and I will record that message for you for today.


πŸ’₯  Seeking what to do:

The previous month when I was at dentist for tooth cleaning, my dentist came in to check my teeth and found I needed 2 fillings.  And one tooth might present a problem for it is next to a bridge I have in upper left of mouth.  She warned me that I might lose the bridge.  She said she couldn't tell until she got into the tooth that needed the filling.  (Her words brought fear and I began praying, asking God to help me and to guide her in the work.)

Between the time she said this and the next dental appointment, every time a thought came concerning the appointment, there was dread and even a little fear.  I would pray again.

The day before the tooth filling appointment, a thought came to my mind:  "Fix only one tooth at the appointment and schedule a second appointment to do the other tooth."  (I knew this was a plan from God.)

After that, I had no more dread or fear.  I had heard from God and knew exactly what to do.  That Word from God gave me an "anchor" for my way and kept my soul at peace!

As we drove to the appointment, I was so happy!  I knew what to do.

When I asked the dentist if we could repair only one tooth that day and make a second appointment for her to work on the other tooth, she said:  "That would work well for me also."  (Unknown to me she was getting ready to go on maternity leave in 3 weeks.)  She said she would like to work on the upper tooth, the one that is beside the bridge.  She told me it was more difficult for her to reach lower teeth in her condition.  I told her that would be fine.  She scheduled November 14 for the other filling.  I was glad to have the space of time between the tooth work!

Everything went very well and I did not lose the bridge!  Although she did trouble me a little in "warning" me that later she might have to replace the bridge.  I prayed when she said these words.

Philippians 4:6  (Paul instructs us)  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

(I was still in the dentist chair when I was praying to God about the "possible" problem with the bridge.)

If possible, pray immediately!

I think the plan God gave me to separate the tooth work into 2 appointments helped both me and that dentist!  

God knows what's best for us!  And after HE gives us HIS plan, we have the way to overcome the problem and the victory over fear, dread, anxiety!

Seek God's plan through prayer and wait for the plan to come from God!

Then do what God has shown you to do!

πŸ’₯  Satan trying to swallow woman in our church group.  

I saw the following open vision from God showing me this about this woman:  There was a very big giant prehistoric type snake, about 5 times the size of a big alligator.  This church woman was 1/2 way in the snake's mouth.  She was already 1/2 swallowed, up to her waist.  Only her legs were out of snake's mouth ... Then she completely disappeared.  She was in the belly of the snake.  Swallowed whole like Jonah.  The snake was licking his lips ... Then the snake had turned around and was wagging the tip of his tail like a satisfied dog.  End of open vision.

She is surrounded by unbelievers ... 5 ... thus the snake is size of 5 unbelievers. (husband, son, daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter)

As a believer, greater is HE that is in her than HE that is in unbelievers.  (I Jn. 4:4)

But they carry the doctrines of this world and she can take on their doctrines unless she does proper spiritual warfare, making the Word of God overcome their doctrines in her own heart.

2 Cor. 10:5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (the Word);

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

She has already demonstrated to Pam and I that she has taken into her heart 2 doctrines of this world:  Salvation by works and the "goodness" of man, and strength of bodily exercise led by therapists and hope in therapy of man.

God had me send her 2 scriptures showing the doctrine of Christ:  
Revelation 5:9;12-14 & I Timothy 4:8

Rev. 5:9;12-14  And they sung a new song, saying, THOU art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for THOU wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by THY blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.  13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto HIM that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped HIM that liveth for ever and ever.

After this scripture, she did say, "Of course."

(As she praised the physical therapist and bodily exercise which she hoped would restore her husband after the 2 small strokes, I sent following doctrine of Christ.)

I Timothy 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

You think you can't be pulled away by circumstances of life?  Remember the downfall of Solomon?  God warned Solomon twice.  But Solomon apparently did not think it could happen to him.  Solomon didn't believe God in this, and that point God made to Solomon was his ruin and downfall in his old age.

I Kings 11

1  But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; 4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. 7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. 8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

God greatly penalized Solomon's house by dividing the kingdom from them and giving 11 tribes to another king:  Divided kingdom of Israel and Judah 

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

On approximately June 11, 2023, the husband of this woman had terrible pain with kidney stone attack.  Then he fell 2 times.  This turned out to be caused by small strokes, according to doctor.

* They could not get immediate appointment with a doctor concerning the kidney stone.  All they could do was to go to emergency room (ER) where they gave husband pain medicine.  They drove home, which is 15 miles into the country.  And that same night had to return to ER where they gave husband additional medicine for pain. And ER put husband into hospital to be treated for heart and small strokes but not for kidney stone.  He spent 2 weeks in hospital but no doctor dealt with the kidney stones so far as I heard.

*  Upon returning home from hospital they still could not get immediate appointment with doctor concerning kidney stone.  The adult daughter talked to someone she knows in medicine and did get an appointment the following week with doctor. 

*  Doctor said kidney stone was too large to pass and this would require going to hospital for sonic surgery to break up the kidney stone.  Operating room was not available until July 20.  (This started with pain on approximately July 11.)  All husband could do was to take pain medicine and they tried 3 pain medicines to find the medicine that worked best.

*  They have stairs all over their house, 3 levels.  The adult aged son, who lives 180 miles away, came to help and gained approval to work by computer to be able to continue his secular job and help get his step-father to the location needed in the house.  

*  Neither the husband nor son nor adult aged daughter are believers at this point.  Barbara is surround by unbelievers and she is the only believer in the situation.  She is allowing Satan, the snake, to swallow her, replacing her belief in certain scripture and believing the doctrine of this world which she wants to believe at this point in time.  For her focus and desire is toward her fleshly family more than toward the Word of God.  (Swallowed by the snake like Jonah was swallowed by the whale.)

*  Their plan is to try to sell the big house which requires significant efforts to maintain.  And the adult son has offered to allow parents to move into master bedroom at his condominium, located 180-miles across the state.  Living in the house with an unbeliever until they decide on property to purchase in the city where her son and daughter live to obtain help in times of need by son and daughter.

So she will have 5 people who are of the flesh speaking doctrines of the flesh which she will have to deal with to hold onto doctrines of the Bible.

I Peter 5:8-9  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith,

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Letter to woman in our church group:

7-26-2023

Last night I became devastated with fear over you.

I know you were the person being swallowed by that giant prehistoric snake in the open vision.

This shows you're being surrounded by unbelievers, even living with them close up in the same house, swallowed up with thinking of this world.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

I'm sure God has an answer for you, but it seems it started with Edward's 2 falls.  (the process began of your being swallowed by the world, "eaten by the big snake.")

When I asked you how it came about that you would move into Drew's house, you answered, "He offered", but you didn't say anything about God showing you to do this.

I prayed last night for you to be saved for eternal life. But your life at the end will be a really hard life in the situation unless you work out turning to God strongly in everything, and I don't see you doing that as you showed us so far. It's like the world is eating you up. And your heart and soul seem to be  tied up in the world. 

Again, I prayed that you would have eternal life, but I know that you won't have a good life as this is developing. I know you could turn it around through God by diligence in prayer to God over everything and by getting HIS way by waiting on HIM to show you what to do.

As I told Sandra, "What will happen to you if you go this way?" For she had told me she didn't care about anyone or anything, and she indicated to me that included God.

So unless you strongly learn to take everything to God and get HIS plan in the midst of the life as it is surrounded daily by unbelievers, I know you will not have a good life at the end. You're going to have to be much stronger with God.

(Unbelievers at this point in time:  husband, son, daughter, son-in-law, granddaughter)

But I do have hope of your being saved for eternal life, because that is the way I'm praying.

Nevertheless, I would like your life on this present earth to be filled with good, spiritual good as-well-as earthly good.

Love,
Joan

***

P.S. I keep being reminded of that scripture where Jesus said to Peter "Satan has desired to sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for you."

Luke 22:31-32 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

To each of us it comes down to this:  Which do we love more?  Those people and things of this world or the Word of God and truth of God?

πŸ’₯ ( BeeSym2/1) *** Moses: Chosen by God


 
 
Hebrews 11

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.

24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for HE endured, as seeing HIM who is invisible.

28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest HE that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Exodus 3

1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth MY people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

11 And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

But God had put it into Moses heart 40 years earlier that he would deliver the children of Israel out to Egypt.  We see this in the following scripture.

Acts 7

22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.

23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:

25 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.

God will cause HIS will to happen on this earth in the life of Moses and also in the life of us whom HE has chosen.

πŸ’₯ (BeeSym5/4) *** At the time appointed by God, the children of Israel are delivered from Egypt by God.

 


After 400 years of bondage in Egypt, the time comes for deliverance of the children of Israel from Egypt.  

Exodus 1

8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: 10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.

11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.

12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they (the Egyptians) were grieved because of the children of Israel.

13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: 14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.

Pharaoh told the Hebrew mid-wives to slay the male children of the Hebrews but to save the female children alive.

22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.

Moses was born during this period of time.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Exodus 2

1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. 2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. 4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.

5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.

6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.

7 Then said his (Moses') sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?

8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.

9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman (who was the child's real mother) took the child, and nursed it.

10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

How can we be so concerned today?  Don't we know God is in charge of that which happens to us?

Jesus said to the disciples:  Where is your faith?  (Luke 8:25)

πŸ’₯ ( BeeSym5/3) *** The children of Israel remain in Egypt 400 years. God told Abraham this would happen to them.


 
 
Genesis 15  (God speaking to Abraham)

13 And HE (God) said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

God sets everything to work to accomplish HIS will on this earth!  

Relax.  God is in charge!

I Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

God caused a famine throughout the whole earth in the days of Joseph.

This famine caused the children of Israel to come down into Egypt to buy corn.

Joseph was 2nd only to Pharaoh in Egypt and all who bought corn had to buy though the hands of Joseph.

Eventually the children of Israel made their home in Egypt and stayed there for 400 years as God told Abraham they would, as slaves to the Egyptians.

At the beginning of their time in Egypt, Joseph was there and provided for them through God.  

But there was a Pharaoh who knew not Joseph and everything changed for the children of Israel.

Toward the end of their stay in Egypt, the bondage of the Egyptians became very severe and when the Children of Israel continued to multiply greatly in Egypt, Pharaoh ordered every male Hebrew child to be slain at birth.  (Deliverance from God was then very near.)  

Often when it gets very hard, it shows us we are nearer the end and God makes a way to escape.

Remember this as we approach the end of this world today, and the great tribulation, and the deliverance of us from this present earth by Jesus when HE takes us to the new heaven and the new earth created by God for us wherein dwells only righteousness.

The apostle John saw a vision of the new heaven and new earth and shows it to us in the following scripture.

Revelation 21

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.

God chose Moses to lead the deliverance of the children of Israel from Egypt.

πŸ’₯ (BeeSym5/2) *** The children of Israel come into Egypt to buy corn.

 


Genesis 41:56-57  

56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.

57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.

God showed Joseph what to do and put Joseph in a position to do what God showed him.  By God came provision for many people and kept families alive on the earth, including the 12 tribes of Israel.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Genesis 42  (The lst trip into Egypt to buy corn)

1 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?

2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.

3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.

4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.

5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Joseph recognized his brothers but the brothers did not recognize Joseph.

I Corinthians 10

11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

13 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.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

In each trial of this life, God makes a way of escape for HIS elect.

I've been in situations where I had no idea what to do.  I just kept calling on God for help.  And eventually the Word came from God showing me the real situation.

In one problem, I was dealing with a church woman and it got terribly difficult for me and then God reminded me that before I was born again there were 3 devils living in me and I would be as bad as she was now except for the fact that God delivered me and cast those devils out of me.

Then I realized the woman I was dealing with had devils living inside of her and they were causing the problem.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Jesus says:  Mk. 16:17  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In MY name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

(So I cast the devils out of that church woman, in the name of Jesus.)

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, HE was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

God knows the truth and the real source of the problem we are having in this life.  As we seek God with all our heart, God reveals the truth to us.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

The second time the children came into Egypt, Joseph revealed himself to them.  Benjamin, Joseph's brother was with them this time.  Joseph knew they were his brothers, the children of his father Israel (Jacob), but the brothers did not yet know it was Joseph they were dealing with.

They took corn and started back to the land of their father Israel.

Joseph sent his men to catch them and search their sacks and they found Joseph's silver cup in the bag belonging to Benjamin. This was done to get the brothers back to Joseph and he, Joseph is going to reveal the truth to his brothers that he is Joseph the brother they sold into slavery. 

Genesis 45

3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.  (They are the ones who had sold Joseph into slavery.)

4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.

6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.

7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and HE hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

They meant it for evil but God turned it for good.

So it is for us today.

Isaiah 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the LORD.

4 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.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

"WE WIN!"

That is what one of my pastors always said.

That is true.  We should always win and we will win so long as we hear what God says and follow God.

Unfortunately my pastor announced to the congregation that he was going to be greater than Kenneth Copeland and he set out to do so.

The devil will help you to be great.

Matthew 4 (the devil speaking to Jesus)

8 Again, the devil taketh HIM (Jesus) up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth HIM all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto HIM, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and HIM only shalt thou serve.

My pastor who said he was going to be greater than Kenneth Copeland was Robert Tilton, Word of Faith Church, Farmer's Branch, Texas, in the late 1970's and early 1980's.  I attended this church from approximately 1977-1982.

I truly loved Robert Tilton.  Don't you love your pastors?

All these years later, I recall words spoken by this man and I love those words.

But sadly his downfall was pursuit of greatness.

He had a TV show in the early 1980's.  A woman from our church group was invited by Bob to appear on his show.  Just before the camera came on Bob said to her, "Just one thing.  Don't say anything about being a prophet.  It's not popular."

Ephesians 4

8  Wherefore HE (Jesus) saith, When HE ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.  11 And HE (Jesus from heaven) gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

For a pastor to tell a prophet not to tell anyone she is a prophet, because it is not popular, is a terrible thing to do.

She (Ava) called me after the show and she was crying when she told me what Bob said to her.

He killed a prophet with those words.

Matthew 23:38  (For killing prophets, Jesus said:)  Behold, your house is left unto you desolate

I delivered those words to Bob Tilton.  God gave me a dream which brought me out of that church group.

In this dream, destruction was everywhere.  A meeting was going on and people were attentively listening to a man who was speaking to a group of people.  I went into the room and began to listen.  A second man rushed in and said, "Stop ... wait ... can't you see ... it's too late ... it's already begun."  (That man disappeared and the first man resumed speaking.)

No one in the group seemed interested in seeing what had already begun, but I was interested so I looked out the windows which were along the side of the room.

What I saw was horrible!

There was a tall pole with a yellow civil defense warning system on top of the pole.  A white gas was coming out of the speaker.  It would kill the people and that gas was coming directly toward us who were sitting in that room listening to the speaker. The instrument which was set there to warn us was the instrument being used to kill us!

The man sitting next to me had a big smile on his face and he was very attentive and looking directly at the man who was speaking.

And then I saw it.  That man was already dead.  He was a corpse though he looked alive.

I looked around the room and the other people in the room were also dead.

And as I sat there among them, I began to feel drowsy and realized the gas coming from the speaker was killing me.

End of dream.

In 1982, on a Wednesday night, I was at Word of Faith Church and Bob Tilton was speaking to the congregation.  I looked at the man who was seated to my left and was shocked.  He was the man in the poison gas dream.  I looked at the others in the congregation that night.  They seemed to be the dead people in the dream.

I said to God, "I think YOU are showing me to leave this church so I'm going to get in my car and leave.  But if YOU want me to come back, I will."

I got up while Tilton was still speaking and got in my car and drove away, and never returned.

That was in 1982.

Wikipedia:  In 1991, Robert Tilton's TV ministry brought in almost 80-million-dollars a year.  It was described as "the fastest growing television ministry in America."

When ABC's "Primetime Life" investigated Tilton's fund raising practices, Tilton's TV show, "Success in Life" was taken off the air.  ABC aired a TV special concerning the fund raising.  After that, members of his church sued Tilton, claiming extortion.  Tilton and his wife, Marte, divorced.  Tilton married a second wife who was a preacher and lawyer.  She filed suit against Tilton and they divorced.  Tilton moved to Florida and tried to start another TV ministry.  He married a third wife.  His church building in Farmer's Branch Texas was torn down.  Today there is no evidence of any church building ever being on that property.  

The state and federal government became involved in subsequent investigations.

The offerings declined from $8 million to $2 million and 85% of the church left Tilton.

"As each revelation about Tilton became increasingly more damaging, viewership and donations declined dramatically."  (Wikipedia report:  as of 7-20-23)

  πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

I began on radio in January, 1980.  I was still attending Tilton's church at that time.  Tilton told me I should get in touch with Michael Ellison Advertising Agency.  Tilton said to me, "They can do you a lot of good."

(Many big-time radio/TV preachers have advertising agencies, like Hollywood stars do.)

This Podcast is a story of this.
