In the USA, fear overtook us in the month of September, on the 11th day in 2001.
I recall the day well. A New Yorker from birth, I sat in front of the TV, bible open to Revelation 18. I saw both towers hit and watched in shock and amazement as the dust from the fallen buildings ran like a subway around the city, looking much like what is described in the scripture concerning “world trade:”
The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
So September 11, 2001 began a prophetic countdown for me that has continued the next 16 years. Although I kept in mind the Lord’s words as recorded in Matthew 24, I understood that “the end was not yet.” Nevertheless, the attack on the World Trade Center in New York City personally designated a signal that it was time to begin to prepare and expect the Lord’s soon return.
Sixteen years have passed, with specific revelations tried and tested to be from the Holy Spirit.
In 2001-2002, I was shown some key truths about casting out of demons and healing. In 2003, the Lord spoke to me in a dream, advising me that I must come out of a church denomination that ordained me—a place where I had pastored 3 churches over a span of 25 years. By 2004, I was out the institutional church. By 2007, I heard the voice of God reveal to me the condition of the IC . It was that year that I knew that I would not return. In 2008, I closed the church I had founded in 1996. By 2011, I was shown in a dream how Russia would infiltrate the USA, first by a cyber attack that would take place under President Obama’s administration. By 2012, I started an online ministry called RESCUE, by 2016, the message in the dream of 2011 came to pass. From 2004-2014, I wrote 7 books.
This timeline is important because each year following 9/11/2001 served as orderly and sequential steps that were crucial to my preparation Delete repeated word to minister in these times.
Today is October 1, 2017. Looking back on the previous month that just ended yesterday—September 2017–has brought a sense of fear into the hearts of most Americans. With each natural disaster, the underlying message received by people of various racial, political and religious persuasions is that we are living in perhaps the end of end times. Yet in spite of the signs, only a very few are expecting the Lord Jesus Christ to soon re-appear, subdue and rule the earth with an iron rod.
I have lived in NY my entire life. For those of us 50 years old and beyond, the natural disasters of September 2017 in less than a two-week period, is a first time phenomena. What is both striking and startling is not only the extent of the devastation but the synchronicity and frequency is particularly foreboding. In spite of the fact that advanced forecasting technology was able to pinpoint the eye of each storm, the country was practically powerless against hurricane Harvey, Irma and Maria. Finally, the sudden and unexpected the earthquake in Mexico compounded national fear.
So yes , I suspect there is much fear in the hearts of North Americans, compounded by an ever-increasing, menacing dialogue between the US and North Korea that threatened and continues to lead closer to a nuclear war, occurring simultaneously with both the hurricanes and the earthquake, September 2017 was the most difficult month I have ever witnessed. NO doubt. September 2017 may go down in history as the month that disasters spoke to North Americans “the end is near.”
Yet I am not afraid. Instead, I am energized and hopeful as I continue to watch prophetic scriptures be fulfilled before my very eyes.
For example, when I open my bible to Daniel 12:4, I read that in the last days, many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall increase. This prophecy has been fulfilled before our very eyes.
Surely around the globe, people all running to and fro on the Internet highway with information as close to their finger tips as a search box, a keyword, or an icon button. Scores of millions, perhaps billions of people each hour of the day are rushing to and fro on the worldwide web, soaking up fake news as well as valid information they have no ability to interpret or comprehend.\. Much knowledge is available yet discernment, truth and wisdom continues to evade most internet travelers.
Such a condition did not prevail in any other generation but ours.
So I understand that those without Christ have legitimate reasons to be afraid in this hour.
Yet to His own, the Lord comforts us with “be not afraid.”
You may ask yourself, “how can this be?” The few own everything, control all, and even during the disastrous month of September 2017, there are those among us whose self centeredness, thoughtlessness, and greed propels them continue to feed on the flesh, blood and bones of the poor. So how is it that we can live without fear in these perilous times?
The Lord warns His people that we are not to fear those who can kill the body without being able to destroy our spirits and our souls in hell. Only He has that power. I fear not because only God can wipe me off of this planet. He knows my exact location without the need of a GPS tracker. A thousand any fall at my side and 10,000 at my right hand, but it shall to come nigh me. I already experienced God’s divine protection just a few years ago with hurricane Irene. No damage. No loss of power, while others less than one mile away were without power and suffered severe damage to their dwellings.
If I die, I will be immediately with Jesus. I will barely be in the ground before the Lord will raise me from the dead, where I will meet Him in the air. If I live, my body will be immediately changed from mortality to eternal longevity. Therefore, dead or alive, the Lord is my protection. I look forward to a future where the Lord Jesus is King of both this planet and the universe. One day soon, I will rule with Him and the rest of His Chosen ones, the elect of God!
