• God has always spoken to people in different ways, and one of those ways is through dreams and visions. All throughout the Bible—Joseph, Jacob, Daniel—you see God using these moments to guide, warn, or encourage people. And Joel 2:28 even says that God will continue to speak this way, which is why many Christians still believe He does today.
    I’m one of them. So many people have had dreams or visions that gave direction or revealed something true later on. God hasn’t gone silent; we just have to stay open, pay attention, and make sure everything lines up with Scripture. As we keep going, we’ll talk about how to recognize God’s voice and how to test what you experience so you can grow in confidence and wisdom.

  • FINAL SERMON: RED 7 —JUDGEMENT OF CORRECTION CAME FIRST ON ME — GOLD CAME OUT PURE — NOW JUDGEMENT TO YOU EVIL DOERS

    Text: 1 Pet 4:17 — For time has come for judgment to begin at house of God.

    ---

    INTRO: RED 7 VISION ON ME

    I am born again — true Israel — Believer not practising sin.

    Red Color in vision= sin Isa 1:18 — though sins scarlet —Also Red = Blood of Jesus 1 John 1:7 — blood cleanses from all sin.

    Red 7 vision came to me — not curse — but disciplinary act on me — Ps 37:23 — steps of good man ordered by Lord.

    Punishment = 1 Pet 4:17 — judgement begin at house of God first.

    1. SPIRITUAL WARFARE : EVIL— VOICES — EPH 6:12

    Before accident, evil altar with voices already existing in my life — voices I heard when no one present — causing confusion, disturbance, threatening---spiritual warfare.

    Eph 6:12 — we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness.

    I fought them with Word of God — Eph 6:17 — sword of Spirit, which is Word of God — 2 Cor 10:4-5 — mighty to pull down strongholds.

    Why this spiritual warfare? Because my calling fought Satan & works of Satan.

    1 John 3:8 — For this purpose Son of God manifested, that He might destroy works of devil. That purpose is my calling.

    Acts 26:18 — to turn them from darkness to light, and from power of Satan to God.
    Rev 12:17 — dragon enraged, went to make war with offspring who keep commandments and have testimony of Jesus.

    Aim of evil altar: persecute me so that to fail that calling God had put for me before Him — servant , & a witness of Jesus of last days testifying to what the son shown me.--- abort Green 7, vision Red 7, vision , skeleton vision & abort 144,000 dream. Acts26:16

    2. GOD CAN BLEACH HEDGE FOR CORRECTION, TESTING, PURIFICATION

    God can bleach hedge — not remove. Thus l prayed for hedge protection & believed that l received it. And b'se l had fallen Red 7 vision, was bleached in accident incident to allow correction, testing , & purification in me. But in this process wasn't removed.

    Job 1:10 — Have You not made hedge around him?
    Job 2:6 — Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.

    Bleach = thin for three reasons:

    Correction — Heb 12:6 — whom Lord loves He chastens — I had fallen — chastening needed Heb 12:11.
    Testing — 1 Pet 1:7 — genuineness of faith tested by fire — to prove pure.
    Purification — Mal 3:3 — He will purify sons of Levi as gold and silver — 1 Tim 4:5 — sanctified by Word and prayer.

    3. ACCIDENT = TESTING OF FAITH — BUT FAITH FAILED NOT — GOLD PURE

    Then accident came — motorcycle hitting dog — body wounded.

    People said negative: curse.

    I insisted: NOT curse to me.

    Because hedge though bleached, protected me to not go into death — Ps 118:18 — Lord chastened me severely, but has not given me over to death — Ps 34:7 — Angel encamps around those who fear Him.

    This accident was about testing faith — but fortunately never failed it.

    Luke 22:32 — I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail.
    2 Cor 4:9 — struck down, but not destroyed.

    Flesh wounded — faith held — Word held — Blood held.

    Result: Gold came out pure — That's the thing.

    Job 23:10 — When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.
    Zech 13:9 — I will refine them as silver, test them as gold is tested.
    1 Pet 1:7 FULFILLED IN MY LIFE — faith more precious than gold, tested, found to praise.

    I repented & got cleansed by blood — purified — faith clean through prayer — 1 Tim 4:5.

    4. RED NO.7 MEANS COMPLETE — ORDER FINISHED

    Red No.7 means complete — Gen 2:2 — on seventh day God ended His work — John 19:30 — It is finished.

    Disciplinary action of suffering, testing, bleaching hedge — done/complete in my life now by Red No.7. Order finished.

    Now new order: Green 7 — sealed unbroken — Matt 6:33 much more supply — 144,000 — true Israel.

    5. NOW TO YOU EVIL DOERS — YOUR JUDGEMENT OF CORRECTION — HARSHER

    If this done to His house now and finished — God now looking to evil doers to repent too of their sins by punishing you now with His judgement of correction from Red 7 vision and obey His Word to be pure before God.

    1 Pet 4:17-18 — if it begins with us first, what will be end of those who do not obey gospel? If righteous scarcely saved, where will ungodly and sinner appear?

    And this punishment to you evil doers is going to be harsher than that God made first to His house.

    Luke 12:47-48 — that servant who knew and did not prepare, shall be beat

    Why Are Evangelicals Preaching Dolly Parton Into Heaven?
    I’ll be the first to admit that Dolly Parton had a very likeable persona about her. She seemed very genuine, real, down-to-earth, and lovable. She seemed to genuinely care about people and want the best for them. And her music often reflected that. Dolly Parton passed away on August 25, 2026, at age 80 following […]

  • IS FORNICATION A SIN?

    Fornication isn't designed to destroy people. The desire for sexual intimacy is a real part of human nature, created by God and designed for a purpose. Sexual attraction is natural. Sexual desire is natural. The longing to be loved, wanted, touched, and intimately connected with another person is not, by itself, a strange or evil thing.

    When a young man and a young woman fall in love, their attraction toward each other can feel powerful. They may genuinely care about each other. They may intend to marry someday. They may tell themselves that because they love each other, sleeping together is simply an expression of that love.

    Sometimes they may even convince themselves that nothing is wrong because they are not hurting anyone, they are faithful to each other, and they have already promised themselves that they belong together.

    You see how you now feel sympathy, understanding, and even justification for the two lovers?

    You see how fornication now begins to look less like sin and more like love?

    And the interesting thing is that many of the reasons people give are not completely false. The attraction is real. The feelings are real. The love may even be real. But something can feel real and still be outside the will of God.

    This is where deception becomes dangerous.

    One of the easiest ways to make sin acceptable is not to deny what God said, but to reframe the situation until disobedience begins to look reasonable.

    Fornication can be presented as love.

    Compromise can be presented as maturity.

    Lust can be presented as affection.

    Disobedience can be presented as personal freedom.

    Temptation can be presented as something you deserve because you have been waiting for marriage for so long.

    My God, reframing is such a powerful tool. It can make sin feel like wisdom.

    But the question is not simply whether you love the person.

    The question is whether you are honouring God with that love.

    The question is not whether the desire is natural.

    The question is whether you are allowing that desire to rule you outside the boundaries God established for it.

    God did not create sexual intimacy because He wanted to deprive you of pleasure. God created it with purpose, dignity, responsibility, and covenant. The problem is not that sex exists. The problem is taking something God designed for marriage and using it outside the covenant for which He designed it.

    You must therefore be careful when your emotions begin to write your theology.

    You can love someone and still need to say no.

    You can be deeply attracted to someone and still walk away from the bed.

    You can intend to marry someone and still refuse to sleep with them before marriage.

    You can be lonely without becoming sexually immoral.

    You can be tempted without becoming a fornicator.

    You can have sexual desires without allowing those desires to become your master.

    The fact that you have a reason does not automatically make your decision right.

    Everyone has a story that explains why they did what they did. But as a Christian, your standard cannot be your feelings, your circumstances, your friends, your relationship, or the way society defines normal.

    Your standard is the Word of God.

    Do not allow someone to manipulate you with the language of love when what they are asking you to do is disobedience.

    Do not let anyone tell you that if you truly love them, you must prove it sexually.

    Real love does not demand that you sin to prove your commitment.

    Real love can wait.

    Real love can respect boundaries.

    Real love can honour God.

    Real love can say, We will not destroy our future because of what we feel today.

    Always be on your guard.

    Fornication does not always arrive looking dirty and dangerous. Sometimes it arrives looking like romance. Sometimes it arrives through loneliness. Sometimes through emotional attachment. Sometimes through a person you genuinely love.

    That is why you need more than feelings.

    You need conviction.

    You need boundaries.

    You need self control.

    And above all, you need the fear of God.

    Do not allow your emotions to become the lawyer defending what your conscience already knows is wrong.

    Choose obedience, even when disobedience feels easier.

    Choose holiness, even when temptation feels powerful.

    Choose God's purpose over temporary pleasure.

    BE INTENTIONAL.

  • 2 Samuel 13

    1 After some time, David’s son Amnon fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of David’s son Absalom.
    2 Amnon was sick with frustration over his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed implausible for him to do anything to her.
    3 Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very shrewd man,
    4 so he asked Amnon, “Why are you, the son of the king, so depressed morning after morning? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon replied, “I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
    5 Jonadab told him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend you are ill. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare it in my sight so I may watch her and eat it from her hand.’”

  • Wednesday Encouragement — Keep Your Eyes Upon Christ

    Blessings, dear brothers and sisters in Christ.

    We have reached the midpoint of another week. On Monday, we reminded ourselves that after gathering to worship on the Lord’s Day, we were sent back into the world to live what we profess and faithfully serve our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Now, halfway through the week, perhaps the pressures of life have already begun to distract us.

    Responsibilities accumulate. Problems arise unexpectedly. News from around the world troubles our hearts. Financial concerns, family responsibilities, health concerns, and the countless demands of everyday life can slowly pull our attention away from the One upon whom our eyes must remain fixed.

    That is why today we need to remind ourselves again:

    Keep your eyes upon Christ.

    Peter walked upon the water while his attention remained upon Jesus. But when he looked at the wind and the waves surrounding him, fear replaced faith and he began to sink.

    How often do we do the same?

    We look at the storms instead of the Savior. We concentrate upon our problems rather than His promises. We become overwhelmed by circumstances while forgetting that the sovereign Lord who controls the wind and the waves is walking with us through the storm.

    “But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.” — Matthew 14:30

    And immediately, Jesus reached out His hand.

    What a beautiful reminder for us today. When our strength begins to fail, we do not need complicated words. Sometimes the most powerful prayer is simply:

    “Lord, save me. Lord, strengthen me. Lord, guide me.”

    Whatever you are facing today, bring it before Him. Our sovereign God has not lost control of one single detail of our lives.

    And while we carry our own burdens, let us remain sensitive to those around us. Someone you encounter today may also be struggling silently. God may use your prayer, your encouragement, your compassion, or your testimony of Christ to strengthen them.

    So let us continue through the remainder of this week faithfully doing what God has called us to do.

    Do not watch the storm.
    Watch the Savior.
    Do not surrender to fear.
    Walk by faith.

    “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.” — Hebrews 12:2

    May our Lord strengthen us, guide us, and keep our hearts firmly fixed upon Him as we continue serving together.

    Serving Christ Together for His Glory Alone.

    Soli Deo Gloria.

God may use your prayer, your encouragement, your compassion, or your testimony of Christ to strengthen them. So let us continue through the remainder of this week faithfully doing what God has called us to do. Do not watch the storm. Watch the Savior. Do not surrender to fear. Walk by faith. “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.” — Hebrews 12:2 May our Lord strengthen us, guide us, and keep our hearts firmly fixed upon Him as we continue serving together. Serving Christ Together for His Glory Alone. Soli Deo Gloria.

  • Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.

    It is early this morning. My eyes are barely open. However, that usually makes for a very entertaining post with the wrong word choices, punctuation, and overall topic.

    Have you ever gotten an idea in your head that you could accomplish something in a certain way or amount of time and were determined to prove it could happen? You knew that all you had to do was stay focused, keep pressing on, and not allow a little thing like… oh, let’s say… nightfall stop you. That was me yesterday. The gent that I borrowed the mower from to mow my yard brought it back yesterday and I jumped on the opportunity to get the rental yard done and part of mine. In my mind, after I returned home from the rental, I had enough time to mow the back-back yard. Oh, let me tell you, I was really cooking too. I was getting her done. UNTIL. Yep, the sun was going down faster than I could push that mower. Yet, me … being me … said to myself, “Self, you can still see the last set of tire tracks for the return run … keep going.” I did this until I could barely see to get back to the house. Haha. Final verdict: NO, I did not finish that part of the yard, but I did get 98 percent of it done. The 2 percent that is still there, uncut … in the covering of trees and there was absolutely no light.

    As I am racing the sinking sun ball, I am thinking to myself two thoughts … 1. You should have known it was too late to get this done, and 2. I am going to get it and show everyone it was possible. Bouncing through the rough patches of the yard, moving as quickly and safely as possible, and still making the yard look good. I was determined. The closer I got to the finish line, the more excited I got that I would actually accomplish this particular task. I even mowed some of the tree-capped lane out of sequence because I knew it would be difficult to see. Hindsight, I should have done both sections of the tree-capped area; however, I did not. Thus, there is a small tree-capped area I need to finish today.

    When I finally gave up and put the mower away, I was actually excited to tell my little story of ‘how close’ I came. Then listen to everyone’s bets on whether I would keep going after the moon was fully in bloom in the sky. It made for a great story and giggle fest.

    Have you ever been in a situation when, though the time frame in which you really have to get something done is not as long as you thought, but you are determined to complete the task in that allotted time anyway? Did you make it and celebrate or did you fall a little short? If you fell short, how did you defeat? Myself, I made fun of the race I had with the sun and moon and created a fun story and memory.

    When we fall short of a goal, whether it's realistically capable or sketchy at best, how we handle the end result is the true prize. If success is in the air, do we boast to the point of arrogance, or do we boast to the satisfaction of a job well done? But if it is not success, do we sulk and find excuses or problems that were clouding the path to success … or … do we see the accomplishment and celebrate what we did accomplish? The result in our hearts is completely our choice.

    I did not look at the clock last night, when I returned from the rental property. If I had, I may have thought against the attempt to mow in the back part of the property. Why? I know how long it takes; I know when the sun is going to disappear, and I know the odds. However, I rolled the dice on a beautiful night’s temperature and chose to swing for the fences. The result: a nearly complete mowed back portion with only 5-10 minutes left.

    Today, as you go about your daily routines, think about how you are looking at your to-do list. Is it overwhelming or is it just a staircase that you will succeed at one step at a time … until you reach the top landing? When your day comes to an end today, how will you look at your to-do list? Was it a grand slam and everything got accomplished? Was it a triple down the first base line in the corner and nearly everything got accomplished? Was it a triple down the left-field line, nearly everything got accomplished, but it was a close play at the bag? Was it a bunt for a single or a sacrifice? In any one of these scenarios, you choose how you view the outcome. I suggest you view them all as victories and keep the overwhelming Light of Love in full view of your day.

    Be blessed.
