- They saw Us coming.
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
- We told them We were coming.
Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: “ ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
- God himself told us through Prophet of Old Joel that We would come.
And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, even among the survivors whom the Lord calls.
(Let’s get back to ‘everyone who calls on the name of the Lord’ after a brief locust break. Joel thinks they are important and if you haven’t yet caught on to the relevance of these locusts and pattern vision then you just don’t know, do ya?
I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten— the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm— my great army that I sent among you.
Start here if you are new to the relevance of Cicadas in this.)
- Calling the Lord’s name is important for a couple reasons here today in this age. Christ Jesus told Us when He was here on the ground with Us.
Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
The Father has a quota and our BROTHER and LORD Jesus deserves his reward.
Our quota does not require THEIR belief. It is not THEIR faith that Our enemy fears.
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.
@frankbacon knows where we are at on the MALLrats map. @mstrashworthy knows the blood moon comms and what comes next.
If you’ve had ears to hear so far you may find yourself asking ‘what shall we do?’
Ask brother Peter. He told Us.
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”
Think Peter didn’t know what is up?
Still think the not-a-Book isn’t the Playbook?
Space and time a known thing for you?
It wasn’t when Christ Jesus sent this message to today’s Church age and everybody else with ears to hear what the Spirit sez…
Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
If you made it this far you just might be Team Laodicea material. Can you articulate your Armor Of God so as to arm others on the battlefield? Ephesians 6 is a pre-requisite.
Wondering what you are? Let Christ Jesus’ best friend (who may or may not still be alive) brother John tell you what We are…
And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him. See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
Pure. Hmmm.
Deployment confirmations are nice.
Purity vs carnality.
Acceptance vs suppression.
Truth vs make-believe.
True Prophets vs False Prophets.
How else are We gonna fill Our quota and get that battle with the Final Boss?
Thanks for the ad ventures @frankbacon and the #newhypemusic @logiczombie!
He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.
