Why would we not put all of our trust in God? We know that we cannot put all of our trust in governments or in other people or things. We cannot even completely trust in ourselves. Our riches take wings and fly away, and our strength wanes over time.

Only God has all power, all understanding, and all righteousness. He is love. He is ever present with us and is eternal with no beginning or end. Only God is eternally and completely trustworthy.

Sad is the life of one who has never known our loving God. Even sadder is the one who has lost trust in God and returned to trusting in the things of this world and finds false security in other gods that do not love and are not trustworthy.

In Christ

Perhaps we all need a fresh view of being eternally seated in heaven with our Lord. Being spiritually in Christ connects us to the eternal trust of knowing God will never leave us or forsake us. Truly experiencing being in Christ provides perfect assurance that we can rest all of our trust in the all-powerful, all-loving Father of all life and creator of all things.

Christ in Us  

At the same time that we are seated at the throne of God in Christ, we are also alive on earth for the purposes of God. We are on a mission to this present world in this present time.

IN CHRIST we are connected to all needed resources of God to accomplish our mission on earth. CHRIST IN US is restoring His kingdom on earth. Our job on earth is to be a carrier of Christ abiding in us to accomplish the plan and will of Father God on earth.

If we were not seated IN CHRIST at the throne, we would have no source of supernatural spiritual love, power, and wisdom. If it were not for CHRIST IN US, we would have no manifestation of God and His love, power, and wisdom in this life to further His kingdom in this world.

As unredeemed natural human beings, we had no life in Christ or Christ in us. As living redeemed spiritual beings, we have access to heaven and can abide in two places at one time: in heaven and on earth. A natural human being can be in only one place at one time. A spirit can be in more than one place at the time. When Jesus ascended to heaven He became a “life giving Spirit” (1 Cor 15:45) and now can abide at the throne of heaven and on the throne of our lives at the same time.

Plainly said, we must by faith abide in Christ and Christ in us by the Holy Spirit to bring the love, power, and wisdom of heaven to earth, not only to endure the hardships of life in this world, but also to bring God’s victorious change and order to this world. There is no other place apart from God where we can safely put all of our trust.

Have faith in God. All things are possible if we have faith in God. We in Christ and Christ in us can change the world.

Darkness and Light

World War three threatens to arise to engulf the earth. The great divide of darkness and light that has grown more intense is at the root of the worldwide unrest and conflict.

We have come to a point of exhausting the plans and programs of man to attempt to bring peace in the world. We are beginning to realize that no amount of man-devised attempts at unity and peaceful coexistence can ever successfully mix light and darkness.

It is not possible for light and darkness to peacefully coexist in one place over time. Either the light will dispel the darkness, or the light will fail and the darkness will prevail. Man’s attempts at democracy and peaceful coexistence of light with darkness will only work temporarily as long as the light is not extremely bright and the darkness is not extremely strong. When the light grows extremely bright the darkness will be destroyed. If the darkness grows extremely strong, it will suppress the light.

In other words, it is only possible for light to coexist with darkness in a gray lukewarm type environment when neither the light of God or darkness is very strong. This evolves into a system where there is no distinction between right and wrong, nothing is viewed as darkness or light everything is just a shadowy eclipse. This shadowy mixture opens the door for severe darkness to eventually take over and destroy the nation from within and without.

Where the true light of God is strong, real prosperity of righteousness will manifest and prevail. Where there is little or no light of God, darkness prevails and will manifest poverty of unrighteousness.

As the light of God increases in an area and real prosperity of righteousness increases, the people in darkness and poverty are either drawn to the light or they are driven to attack the light and attempt to take the prosperity for themselves and destroy the godly people. However, the people of darkness are weaker and unable to defeat the prosperous people of light. Therefore, another plan to take over is activated. Spirits of darkness will subversively infiltrate the people wherever openings are found.

We need to remember that this is a spiritual war and not just a war of flesh and blood. To conquer the people of light, the light must be dimmed. The spirit controlling the darkness will devise a cunning plan to dim the light.

Spirits of darkness will subversively sneak in to undermine the godliness of the prosperous people and reestablish darkness in their hearts. Spirits of lust, greed, control, and others seek to grow under an umbrella of religion that replaces true godliness. This will begin a decrease in the light and an increase of darkness.

Light and darkness as a perspective.

What godly people see as light, others see as darkness. What godly people see as darkness is seen as light by those in which darkness dwells. The difference is whether the people are affected by the Spirit of Christ or the spirit of antichrist.

Spirit-filled Christians are seen as a sort of terrorist by those influenced by an antichrist spirit. It is a fact that spirits of darkness are terrified by believers in whom the Holy Spirit fully dwells. The Spirit of Christ and Father God dwelling in believers by the Holy Spirit have complete power and authority over every evil spirit including spirits of antichrist, religion, and every spirit that opposes the true light and love of God. What godly people see as light is seen and opposed as darkness by those infected with an antichrist spirit.

As Spirit-filled believers, we can expect to encounter fear, despising, and even hatred from everyone who is affected by an antichrist spirit. We threaten everything they stand for and value in this life. Just our very existence threatens to take away that which is precious to them. To the antichrist people we appear as mean, full of hate, intolerant, prejudiced, and very controlling. We represent bondage and loss of freedom to them.

Light Destroys Darkness

Every pure-hearted holy child of God filled with the Holy Ghost has the brightness of the light from heaven abiding within. Human beings are not the light. However, if we are redeemed by the blood of Christ Jesus and filled with His life by the Holy Ghost, we are carriers of the light of heaven to shine forth in this world disposing darkness and filling the world with the light of His glory.

God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

For the most part the passing religious church systems became infiltrated with darkness and became a lukewarm mixture. Our light became mixture and could not dispose the darkness in the world.

The pure holy light of God is again flowing forth in “John the Baptist” or “Elijah” style men and women of God emerging from the wilderness. These are people of God who refuse to be molded into the “politically correct” or “religiously correct” life of darkness that is bringing forth the most damnable darkness rising up on a worldwide scale beyond anything we have seen before.

Even good church people do not realize that their own minds have gradually become accepting of darkness enough that they do not see their children being trained in demonic darkness of the deepest and deadliest kind.

The mark of the beast is spreading rapidly upon a world blinded by their own darkness. While the dark spirits try to make Christians believe they must beware of a mark being put on them, the mark of the name of the beast is already implanted in millions of hearts and minds bringing madness and barbaric persecution to those who had seen light but chose lukewarm over the Holy Spirit’s fire and perfect light.

THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH, AND EARNEST PRAYER CHANGES THINGS.

The enemy has a specific plan for the final phase of taking down America and other nations that once carried the light of God.

It can be averted or made much less destructive than the enemy and his people have planned.

The “John the Baptist” or “Elijah” type men and women must now arise and release the power and light from heaven to call forth intense PRAYER among the people of God!

We have only a matter of months to arise and turn the people of God to PRAY and call for America to turn to the light of God.

The enemy plans a major shut down regarding energy and the economy along with vicious uprisings, governmental clamp downs, and cataclysmic world events that will bring the western nations to an abrupt stand still. The enemies plan is that the turmoil be so great that there would be no free elections in 2016.

THESE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT THINGS CAN BE PREVENTED!

Hundreds of millions of people in the western nations and across the world praying and turning to God with their whole hearts will make a difference. Every person with a voice calling out to God for an unprecedented supernatural move of God to overtake the people of this world will turn back the devastating plans. Raise your voice to the people of God. Call them to turn to God and pray for the nations to immediately turn to God with their whole hearts. God can relent and change the hearts and minds of the people.

Every TV and internet media needs to be filled with the call of God to turn now. Every preacher, every teacher, everyone with a voice must pray and call for the people to fall upon their faces and cry out for God to empower His people with supernatural power, wisdom, and love to move the world and never stop until we walk in the pure holy kingdom of heaven on earth. We must not allow these plans of the enemy to come forth.

Baseball will not save us. Football will not save our nations. Governments and smart weapons will not save us. Our religion cannot deliver us. Only God is worthy of our complete trust. Trust in the Lord and in all your ways acknowledge Him. Pray! Pray! Pray and hear His voice. Shout from the house tops what God speaks to you in private.

Proverbs 3:5-12: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil.

It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.

Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.

My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor detest His correction; for whom the Lord loves He corrects, just as a father the son in whom he delights.

2. THE SEASON OF TRAVAIL: Blow the trumpet in Zion!

By Henry Falcone

My Beloved ones, It is time to travail for my Kingdom to manifest fully on the Earth. I am bringing forth a season of great travail to manifest in my own ones that will hear my heartbeat. They will hear my voice in the wee hours of the morning or even at midday. They will come and allow me to pray through them like never before overtime I call.

Young and old alike will hear my voice. I am awakening in them for such a time as this. The youth will be awakened and cry out to me in the middle of their sleep. They will hear me in their school yards and begin to cry out to me in travail for me to come, and I will pour my spirit out upon all flesh. They will see my Glory! It is time!

It is time my love to put away the small things that seem so big in your life. It is time to understand the moment you are living in. Everything is about to change and that change is coming more rapidly then you are ready for. You will not be ready if you don’t allow me to travail in you and through you. For when you know not what to pray, my Spirit will pray through you with groaning and utterances.

My Servant Paul wrote this to the Roman Christians: “So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.”

27 And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God’s will (Romans 8:26-27).

This is my launching pad to take you higher in me. I must take you deeper into my heart so you can understand the things that are coming hereafter. Through travail the eyes of your understanding shall be enlightened. The ears of your Spirit will be sensitive to my whispers. Through groaning and travail I will give you strategies and wisdom beyond human intelligence. Through travail will I reveal to you the secrets and the mysteries of my Kingdom needed for this hour. Through travail you will walk in the invisible dimension of my glory as it will be truly seen upon you.

Beloveds, I don’t want you caught unprepared, and I don’t want this day to come upon you like a thief in the night. I want you ready, prepared, armed and positioned for my purposes to be revealed upon the Earth. It is time for you to travail

It is time in the nation to do what I told the prophet Joel to the children of Israel. It is time to truly travail and seek my face. Here my servant Joel:

12 Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored].

13 Rend your hearts and not your garments and return to the Lord, your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness; and He revokes His sentence of evil [when His conditions are met].

14 Who knows but what He will turn, revoke your sentence [of evil], and leave a blessing behind Him [giving you the means with which to serve Him], even a cereal or meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord, your God?

15 Blow the trumpet in Zion; set apart a fast [a day of restraint and humility]; call a solemn assembly.

16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation; assemble the elderly people, gather the children and the nursing infants; let the bridegroom [who is legally exempt from attending] go forth from his chamber and the bride out of her closet. [None is exempt from the humiliation.]

17 Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar; and let them say, ”Have pity and spare Your people, O Lord, and give not Your heritage to reproach, that the [heathen] nations should rule over them or use a byword against them. Why should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?”

18 Then was the Lord jealous for His land and had pity on His people. (Joel 2:12-18)

Yes, do you hear the trumpet sound? It is time to travail in your hearts. It is time to come to me with just a request or a petition, but to come to me WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH FASTING, WITH WEEPING, AND WITH MORNING FOR THIS NATION, FOR THE CHURCH IN THIS NATION UNTIL EVERY HINDERANCE IS REMOVED AND THE BROKEN FELLOWSHIP BETWEEN US IS RESTORED.

For many of you are blaming the state of this nation on the politicians, but you have not seen I have given you a government that you wanted just like I did with Israel when they wanted an earthly king instead of me as their king. So I gave them a king like what was in their own hearts, yet they would not repent. So I chose a King for myself. A shepherd boy to lead my people. A man after my own heart. Why have you deserted me my people? Why have you abandoned me your first love? Why do you put your faith in the eloquence of world leaders and church leaders who speak large words but inside our whitewashed tombs?

Should you have not come to ME? Should you not have said like my servant David, “Search me Oh God and try my thoughts, and see if there be any wicked way in me?” For my people in this land want all I have but also want what the world has to offer. So they are lukewarm and have fallen far from my presence. They have resisted the work of my Holy Spirit Baptism of fire that would have purified their hearts and nature. They traded the Glory of their God for gifts and the blessings of the Lord alone.

How long will it take to get your attention? I am blowing my trumpet in Zion this day. I am sounding an alarm in my Holy Mountain. Who can ascend the mountain of the Lord? He that has clean hands and pure hearts.

Let the intercessors arise. Let the watchman get back on the wall. Let the scribes take up their place. Let the singers and musicians make their music of travail. For this is the time to diligently seek Me. This is the time you must put away all the childish things and seek my face like never before. You must not cry out for the politicians, but you must cry out for yourselves to REPENT and MAKE THE CROOKED WAYS STRAIGHT IN YOUR HEARTS.

You must rend your hearts and not your garments and you must come to me with the utmost seriousness and abandonment of heart. You must come with fasting, weeping, and prayer and Cry out to me: HAVE PITY ON YOUR PEOPLE OH LORD, WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU! OH LORD DO NOT GIVE YOUR INHERITANCE TO REPROACH! THE NATIONS MUST NEVER SAY OF US, WHERE IS YOUR GOD? FOR I AM YOUR GOD, THE I AM THAT I AM.

Who will hear the cry to come up here with me? Who will rend their hearts because of the condition of my people in this nation? Who will come and keep on coming to me with fasting and weeping until every hindrance of broken fellowship is removed.

It will take this type of commitment to bring the deliverance you surely need. Who will hear my call to seek me? Who will humble themselves in the sight of the Lord? Who will be my people called by my name that will humble themselves, seek my face and pray and turn from their evil ways so I can hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land.

It is not too late for you in the nation, but the clock is ticking, ticking and ticking and time is too short to wait any longer. Blow the trumpet in Zion. It is a time to travail. It is time to allow my spirit to travail through you to tear down the plans and strategies of the enemy. Only this type of radical seeking Me, hearing Me, following Me and allowing Me to lead you to battle will change the tide of this nation. There is no other way. There is no other plan accept Me uttering My voice before My army and M army following Me into battle.

Your ways will never work. Political ways will never work. Religious ways will never work, ONLY MY WAYS WORK and you must know MY WAYS, if you are going to stand and overcome in the hour that is now upon you. So it is time to travail. It is time to rend your hearts and not your garments. It is time for the INTERCESSION OF HEAVEN TO CHANGE THE EARTH!

It is time through travail that I will raise up My STANDARD UPON THE EARTH! “So [as the result of the Messiah’s intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives].” (Is 59:19)

Will you hear my call to come? Will you hear my call to come up here, so I can show you the things hereafter? Will you allow my Spirit to work the deepest brokenness and humility to cry out for this nation? Will you see the sin that is in my house and cry out to me in true repentance for deserting me your first love? Will you cry out to me because of the compromise in my house? Will you see your own true spiritual condition and rend your hearts and not your garments.

I want to bring healing and restoration to this nation, but it will never be on your terms. Even now, I can turn the tide of this nation from being overrun by the enemy to become a lighthouse again filled with the Glory and true knowledge of the Lord? But who will hear Me? Who will cry out to Me in travail? Who will understand that is not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord? The time of travail is here. Who will hear what the Spirit of God is saying to you in this moment? Selah!
