YOU ARE LIGHTS

“I AM the Father of LIGHTS; Jesus is the LIGHT of the world; and Holy Spirit is the LIGHT of truth. Because you have SURRENDERED your life to our LOVE and the Blood of My Son, you have become ONE with us and you are now LIGHTS IN THE WORLD. You are called to SHINE INTO THE DARKNESS and to LIGHT THE PATH for the lost to find their way HOME to My HEART. The CLOSER you draw near to Us, the BRIGHTER YOU WILL SHINE, and you will have more impact on the world around you. The LIGHT you SHINE is TRUTH, LOVE, and PEACE. Don’t HIDE THIS LIGHT because it is INCREDIBLY POWERFUL and FREEING to everyone’s lives that you touch. Wherever you go, remember that YOU ARE LIGHTS AND SHINE FOR ME.”

                                                 DAYS OF DARKNESS INTO LIGHT

April 17, 2024   Marcella Ward

THIS NATION WILL BE PLUNGED INTO A DARKNESS

 Julie Green  Date Word Received: March 31, 2024   Watch video - published April 8, 2024

“This Nation will be plunged into a darkness it has never known or felt. This great darkness will bring the greatest light and awakening ever experienced in this Nation or the world. This darkness will change this Nation's course, and it will change the hearts of millions back to Me. 

This darkness is for the judgment against your rulers who have blasphemed Me by their acts, sexual perversion, unjust laws, thievery, and godless ruling and reigning. They have put this Nation on a course of destruction and devastation. This darkness and violent shaking will destroy their power and change everything happening in this great country. 

Evil will no longer be in control. The heart of this Nation will completely turn back to Me. Much confusion is coming to those who refuse to believe and much calamity and devastation to those who are against Me. Much death is coming to the ones who brought much death to the world. 

My children, the hour for the greatest shaking this Nation has ever experienced is here. This political, civil, and severe economic and natural shaking is to break you away from them and save this Nation from total annihilation. 

You are about to see things your eyes and minds will not totally understand. But remember, I gave you these Words and warnings to make you aware and assure you that this judgment is not for you, but rather, for the ones who put My Nation on the course of death. 

I am the life that will bring this country back to where it should have been all along. So, My children, brace your hearts and get your minds fixed on Me. Do not fear or dread what is about to take place. That which is coming will bring a freedom you have never known before and a life you have never lived. 

So, stand strong now. Do not give in, back up, or back off from My Words. This Nation will rise. My Glory will be seen, and a great restoration will take place. I am in control, not your enemies, and the world is about to see that this is true. Great Glory and a great outpouring of My Spirit on all flesh is about to take place. 

So, receive what I have planned for you and see the total demise I have planned for your enemies. Celebrate! Your time of restoration has come, saith the Lord your Redeemer” (www.jgminternational.org )

 

 THE DARKNESS WILL BE SHORT COMPARED TO THE COMING DAYS OF LIGHT   April 16, 2024  Diana Larkin  A Watchman’s Journal

 

“There will be a SHORT TIME of DARKNESS, DESTRUCTION, and JUDGMENT, but these are for the evil empire and NOT for My people. Those who are still ASLEEP or in DECEPTION will think that these DARK TIMES are for THEM, but the SHORT time of SHAKING is to WAKE THEM UP and to BREAK the POWER of DECEPTION off their MINDS and HEARTS. Once they are AWAKE and can SEE the DEPTH of darkness in the evil empire, you will be able to SHARE TRUTH and LIGHT and HOPE with them. Once they TAKE HOLD of the HOPE of My LIGHT, they will be REMOVED from the TERROR and the SWIRL of the JUDGMENT DESCENDING on the darkness. What look like DESPERATE DAYS to people are really DAYS of HARVEST for the WICKED, as they are BROUGHT DOWN and their DEATH AGENDAS all EXPOSED. The SHORT TIME of DARKNESS will MAKE A WAY for a time of REBIRTH, RESTORATION, and days of WONDERFUL LIGHT, as My GLORY and POWER fill the earth. Don’t be MOVED by the PRECIPICE for the evil empire because THE DARKNESS WILL BE SHORT COMPARED TO THE COMING DAYS OF LIGHT.” www.dianalarkin.blogspot.com )

 “Dear Lord,

We come to you with humility and faith, asking for your protection from the darkness and evil surrounding us. Help us to resist the temptations of this world, and to stay firm in our faith. Help us to remember that you are with us, and that your strength is greater than any temptation or evil.

We ask you to fill us with your Holy Spirit and give us the courage to stand firm in our faith and to resist temptation. Give us the strength to remain steadfast in our beliefs and to trust in you above all else.

Help us to be strong in our faith and to remember that your love is greater than any darkness or evil. We thank you for your protection and guidance and pray that you will grant us the strength to stand firm and resist temptation. Amen.”    (www.ChristianPure.com )

 Psalm 91

¹ Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
² I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.”

³ Surely he will save you
    from the fowler’s snare
    and from the deadly pestilence.
⁴ He will cover you with his feathers,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
⁵ You will not fear the terror of night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
    nor the plague that destroys at midday.
⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
⁸ You will only observe with your eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.

⁹ If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
    and you make the Most High your dwelling,
¹⁰ no harm will overtake you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;
¹² they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
¹³ You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

¹⁴ “Because he^[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble,
    I will deliver him and honor him.
¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him
    and show him my salvation.” NIV

                                                    NORMALIZING EVIL

Marcella Ward    August 10, 2022

According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, the definition of normal is “conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern : characterized by that which is considered usual, typical, or routine”  I am afraid that the “new normal” has been injecting itself into almost every area of our lives. 

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.  Isaiah 5:20 NIV

You need look no further than the media, social media, educational institutions, etc. to see and listen to those who are “preaching” the woke agenda that is truly fulfilling the prophecy in Isaiah 5:20.  Those of us who grew up in the 40’s and 50’s never experienced any of this type of culture that we see going on now in our country as well as throughout the world. 

How do we counteract and stand up for Biblical values in this day and age?  In my opinion, we need to be a voice in whatever sphere we are in.  Yes, some of us may have to pay a price but we need to stand or else that which we value will be taken away.  In Nazi Germany, the Church was silent.  There were only a few brave people such as Corrie ten Boom, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and others who risked their lives to stand up and help the Jewish people. 

There is a story about a preacher in Germany who told the congregation to “sing louder” as the trains would go by with Jewish people being sent to death camps.   What about many preachers in the pulpits today who will not speak out about what is going on in our country? Fortunately there are some who are willing to speak out against evil.

There was a group of preachers who called themselves “The Black Robe Regiment.” “The term “Black Robe Regiment” referred not to a literal regiment of soldiers that wore black robes into battle but rather to the influential clergymen who promoted American independence and supported the military struggle against Britain. By encouraging the Patriot cause, those ministers helped muster critical support among members of their congregation—support the British begrudgingly acknowledged as vital to maintaining the colonists' frustrating resistance to British attempts to restore Parliamentary rule. In its implicit comparison of symbolic support to a specific body of troops, the term “Black Robe Regiment” is somewhat similar to the “fifth column” identified by the Spanish general Emilio Mola.”  (Teaching History.org  “The Black-Robed Regiment”)

Jesus was not afraid to speak out against the government and the religious establishment at that time.   

Martin Luther-King Jr. was not afraid to speak out against prejudice.  Rosa Parks took a stand and refused to sit at the back of the bus.  There are millions of martyrs that have refused to deny their faith.  Are we ready to stand for our faith and stand for God’s Kingdom against the Kingdom of Darkness? 

We need to be the Light in the world so that others will see God in us.  They will be attracted to us because we stand for our beliefs and do not back down when someone threatens us because we do not “bow” down to their ideology.  Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego refused to bow down to the King’s image and were not overcome by the fire.  In fact, there was a fourth person with them in the fire-----Jesus Christ the Messiah!!

God will use us to transform this Kingdom of Darkness into the Kingdom of Light.  If we become complacent now, then there are those who will continue seeking to normalize evil and unless we act now as the Body of Christ, evil will win but we know that evil NEVER wins-------GOD ALWAYS WINS!!

This is one of the greatest times to be alive and each one of us was chosen to live in this hour.  We each have a mandate to do what God has called each one of us to do.  Each one of us has a role in this Great Awakening whether it be through prayer and intercession, ministry for Christ, political arena (school boards; community involvement at many levels; mayor; senator, congressman), etc.

Let’s be the ones who partnered with Almighty God to take down evil, call it what it is and bring back this nation from the depths of hell to a New Era--------An Awakening----A Revival across the land and the world.  Take your marching orders.  Rise up!!  HOLY SPIRIT ANOINT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US!
