• SERMON: GOD IS SPEAKING THROUGH HIS SON NOW IN THIS LAST AGE - TO ALL FLESH

    Text: Hebrews 1:1-2, Acts 2:17

    Hebrews 1:1-2 — “Long ago God spoke by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son.”
    Acts 2:17 — “In the last days... I will pour out my Spirit on ALL FLESH... your young men shall see visions.”

    Brothers and sisters, the last days began on Pentecost Day. Acts 2:1-4
    Pentecost came 1-4 years BEFORE Paul's conversion. So Paul's vision in Acts 9 was already a last-days vision. That proves God still gives visions today.

    We are now in that same last age, and God is still speaking through His Son in two ways:

    1. Through Visions - Red 7, Green 7, Skeleton
    God showed His servant Kasule Reagan visions - Red 7 in the sky, Green 7 on the wall, Skeleton visions that vanished. The message: Time is complete, choose Life or Death. Matt 25:46

    2. Through Personal Appearance of the Son - Sheikh Uthman Wambuzi

    THE PROOF TO UNBELIEVERS:

    This is a true story from our own nation, Uganda.

    Sheikh Wambuzi Maka Uthman, 39 years, a former Islamic teacher from Mayuge District, Eastern Uganda.

    Date: August 1, 2025, after Friday prayers. He stayed to rest in a corner of the mosque and fell asleep.

    He saw a figure dressed in white, long clothing, surrounded by four angels. The figure called his name three times: “Uthman, Uthman, Uthman.”

    Overwhelmed with fear, Uthman knelt down and worshipped Him. The figure instructed him: “Go to your people and tell them to repent and turn to the living God.”

    Leaving the mosque around 5 p.m., he met a church pastor and shared the message of repentance. Through the pastor's guidance, Uthman understood the figure was Jesus (Isa) calling him and others to faith.

    When he obeyed, from August 4, 2025, persecution came. His relatives viewed it as betrayal. They beat him severely, demolished his home, and took his wife and six children. He narrowly escaped through a thick bush to a Christian neighbor, who rushed him to a hospital in Mayuge town. [Source: christiandaily.com]

    Why would a respected Sheikh lose everything for a lie? He saw the son. Mark 9:3, Luke 9:29, matt28:3

    This is Acts 26:16-18 happening again:
    “I have appeared to you to appoint you as servant and witness... to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God.”

    3. TO ALL FLESH - REGARDLESS OF TRIBE, NATION, LANGUAGE, CULTURE, RELIGION

    This is the key. Acts 2:17 says ALL FLESH.

    Acts 10:34-35 — God shows no partiality, in every nation.
    Revelation 5:9 — Jesus ransomed people from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
    Revelation 7:9 — A multitude no one can number, from all nations.

    God poured His Spirit on a Christian youth in Kampala with visions, and on a Muslim Sheikh in a mosque in Mayuge with a personal appearance. Same Spirit. Same Jesus. Same message.

    THE MESSAGE FOR THIS LAST AGE:

    God is alarming us: Spiritual awakening, renewal, revival, repentance, and obedience.

    John 8:12 — Jesus says “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
    John 3:16 — Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
    Matt 25:46 — The choice is eternal life or eternal punishment.
    Proverbs 29:18 — “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Without hearing what God is showing now, people will perish in sin/darkness.

    2 Peter 3:9 — “The Lord is not slow... but is patient, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”

    FINAL CALL: BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

    Hebrews 3:15 — “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
    Habakkuk 2:3 — The vision awaits its appointed time, it will surely come.

    Sheikh Uthman heard his name called. You are hearing your name called today.

    God is speaking through His Son NOW to all nations. Will you embrace His will through faith in Christ and be saved?

    If you refuse, you will perish in sin.

    Prayer:
    Lord Jesus, Son of God who came to destroy the works of the devil 1 John 3:8, open our eyes. We repent.

  • Am Reagan a servant & winesss of Jesus in these last days. Listen what the son speaks to last days people now. Heb1:1-2, acts26:16, joel2:28, john2:17

    Question:
    1. WHICH CAME FIRST: PENTECOST OR PAUL'S CONVERSION?

    The Day of Pentecost came first.

    Pentecost: Acts 2:1-4 — About 30-33 AD. This is when the Holy Spirit came down.
    Peter stood and said: Acts 2:16-17 — “But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel: ‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh... and your young men shall see visions’”

    Paul’s conversion: Acts 9:3-6 — About 34-36 AD. Roughly 1 to 4 years AFTER Pentecost.

    So Peter declared the last days had begun on Pentecost Day. Paul's vision came AFTER the last days had already begun.

    2. WHY THIS MATTERS FOR THE VISIONS — RED 7, GREEN 7, SKELETON, I SAW AFTER VANISHED.

    Because Pentecost was first, then Paul's vision, it proves this:

    Acts 2:17 did not stop at Pentecost. Paul's vision in Acts 9 and Acts 26:16 — “I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness” — is proof that visions are counted in the last days.

    That means:
    If Paul could see a vision AFTER Pentecost and it was counted as part of Acts 2:17,
    Then the visions Red 7 in the sky, Green 7 on the wall, and the Skeleton visions that vanished afterwards are ALSO counted as part of Acts 2:17.

    The Bible says Acts 2:17 says visions shall STILL happen up to now in these last days.

    Hebrews 1:2 — “but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son” — God still speaks by visions, by His Son.

    Joel 2:28 = Acts 2:17 — It is for now. It has not ended.

    3. THE CONFIRMATION I SAW IN THE SEARCH WITH THE WORD

    Shows this correctly:
    “The Day of Pentecost came first”

    The last days began at Pentecost, and Paul’s vision was inside the last days. So are here today we live.

    SUMMARY FOR THIS AS A WITNESS:

    Last days began on Pentecost Day - Acts 2:17
    Pentecost came 1-4 years BEFORE Paul's conversion
    Therefore Paul's vision counts as a last-days vision
    Therefore THE visions Red 7, Green 7, Skeleton also count as last-days visions that God still gives now - Acts 2:17 still happening

    Am a servant and witness of Jesus.whom Christ appointed to testify to what l have seen him through the visions l saw like Paul. Acts 26:16, with visions message that those in darkness their get opened. and alarm spiritual awakening,renewal, revival, repentance and obedience to word/commandments to have life. matt25:46, john8:12, acts26:16& you last age don't perish in sin/ darkness. proverbs 29:18
    I saw what God showed me through his son as visions l saw in these last days. calling me to testify that l have seen him.

    Habakkuk 2:3 — The vision awaits its appointed time, it will surely come.
    Am Reagan 🙏a servant & winesss of Jesus in these last days. Listen what the son speaks to last days people now. Heb1:1-2, acts26:16, joel2:28, john2:17 Question: 1.

  • Mystical Gardens Tale

    The Empty Chair

    Mary had friends, technically she wasn't alone. That was what she always told herself. She had people she could call. People who would answer a message. People she could talk to about the weather, the latest news, or something funny that had happened during the day. What she didn't have was someone to do things with.

    She wasn't completely alone, but there was a difference between having people she could talk to and having a companion to spend time with. Mary knew there was a difference. She knew it every evening when she came home. She knew it when she made dinner and automatically put two plates on the counter before realizing there was only one person eating.

    She knew it when something funny happened on television and she turned toward the other side of the couch to share the joke, only to find an empty cushion. She knew it when she poured herself a glass of tea and, without thinking, reached for another glass. Then stopped. There was no one to pour it for.

    One evening, Mary sat on the couch with her dinner untouched beside her. The television was playing, but she wasn't watching it. Her eyes kept drifting toward the empty chair across the room. It wasn't anything special. Just an old chair with a cushion that had lost some of its shape, but tonight, it seemed to be extra empty.

    Mary stared at it for a long time. Then she whispered, “I wish somebody was here.”

    The words surprised her. She had spent years teaching herself not to say things like that. Whenever she admitted she was lonely, someone would remind her that she already had friends. Whenever she said she wanted companionship, someone would tell her she needed to learn to be happy alone. Whenever she complained about having no one to do things with, someone would say, “You just have to get out there.”

    Mary knew they meant well, but sometimes she wanted more than advice. She wanted someone to sit beside her. Someone to go places with. Someone to call and say, “Want to grab a coffee?” Someone who would watch a terrible movie with her and laugh at how terrible it was. Someone who would notice when she was quiet. Someone who didn't have to be invited because they were already there.

    Mary leaned back against the couch. “I don't want to be needy,” she whispered. The room offered no answer. The loneliness tightened around her heart. The loneliness engulfed her and tears formed in her eyes.

    Mary closed her eyes, curled into a fetal ball, and allowed herself to cry. When she opened them again, she wasn't in her living room. She was sitting in a beautiful garden beneath a giant tree. The mystical garden stretched around her in the soft evening light. Flowers moved gently in a breeze she couldn't feel. Somewhere nearby, water trickled over smooth stones.

    Mary didn't know how she had gotten there, but she wasn't frightened. She had been to this garden before. Some people claimed it was magical. She looked up at the giant tree. “You know why I'm here, don't you?”

    The leaves rustled. Mary smiled sadly. “I'm so lonely.” The tree remained silent.

    Mary pulled her knees toward herself. “I know what everyone says. I know I do have people in my life. I do have friends. I know I should be grateful. I really am grateful.” She swallowed. “But I want someone...” The words finally came out. “I want someone to share my life with.”

    A breeze moved through the branches. Mary looked up. “Can you help me?” The tree did not answer.

    Mary waited. “Can you find someone for me?” Still nothing. Her smile disappeared. “It's silly, but I thought that since I just appeared here, maybe you had some magic that could help me.”

    The branches swayed gently. Mary looked away. “Apparently not.” She stood and began walking through the garden. At first, she noticed all the companionship around her.

    She saw two birds that sat together on a branch. A pair of rabbits chased one another through the flowers. A butterfly rested on another butterfly's wings. Even the bees seemed to have somewhere to go and someone waiting for them.

    Mary stopped beside the pond. “Even the animals have someone.” Her voice cracked. “And I don't.”

    She sat beside the water. For a long time, she didn't notice anything different. Then something strange began. The garden seemed to change.

    Mary watched as a bee landed on a flower. The flower gave it the nectar that it searched for. A bird flew down to the pond where it found a worm in the soft soil and water to quench is thirst. A fruit fell from one of the branches and disappeared into the soil where the seed would grow.

    Mary watched quietly. She finally began to understand. The garden wasn't showing her perfect lives. This wasn't exactly the companionship she longed for. What it was showing her was a different kind of companionship. It showed her the connections that are made in all life. Little ones. Simple ones. Necessary ones.

    Then its leaves shimmered and Mary heard a whisper in her heart. "You are not wrong for wanting companionship.'' Mary's eyes filled with tears. People had told her it was good to be independent. They had told her to enjoy her own company. They had told her she didn't need anyone, but nobody had told her that wanting someone beside her wasn't a weakness.

    Mary rested her hand against the tree. “I don't want someone to rescue me.” The leaves rustled. “I just don't want to do everything alone. I just need a friend to do things with.”

    The tree remained silent, but somehow Mary understood. There was a difference between being incomplete and being lonely. She could be whole and still want someone to share some of the things in her life with. She could be grateful and still wish for a little companionship. She could love herself and still want someone sitting in the empty chair.

    Mary wiped her eyes. “Then why can't you find someone for me?” The tree's branches slowly moved toward the ground. One small branch pointed toward the garden gate. Mary frowned. “You want me to leave?” At first she was hurt, but then she understood.

    The garden couldn't choose another person's heart. It couldn't manufacture friendship. It couldn't make someone walk into her life. It couldn't promise that tomorrow she would meet the person she'd been waiting for. But it could give her somewhere to come back to when the loneliness became too heavy.

    It could remind her that loneliness wasn't proof that she was forgotten. Companionship had many different forms. Perhaps most importantly, it reminded her not to close her heart simply because she had been disappointed before.

    Mary stood. The tree's leaves shimmered.
    “I guess I just stopped trying.” She looked toward the garden gate. “Because every time I tried, I got hurt.”

    The garden grew very still. Mary took a deep breath. “Maybe I decided it was easier to do things alone, preferring to be lonely than to be hurt. That's not the same thing as being okay, is it?”

    The tree answered with a gentle shower of golden leaves. Mary laughed through her tears. “No,” she whispered. “It isn't.”

    When Mary returned home, the television was still playing. The empty chair was still there. Nothing about her house had changed. But Mary had.

    She looked at the chair. For years, she had thought the empty chair was proof that nobody was coming, no one wanted to be with her. Tonight, she saw it differently. It was simply an empty chair waiting to be filled.

    The next morning, Mary picked up her phone. She stared at the screen for several minutes. If she wanted a friend, she should make an effort. There was a woman she occasionally talked to. They had always talked easily, but Mary had never asked her to do anything outside their usual conversations.

    Her finger hovered over the call button.
    Then she pressed it. “Hi,” Mary said when the woman answered. “I was wondering…”
    She almost stopped. She fears that the woman would be too busy. That she would think Mary was being strange. But Mary continued. “Would you like to have coffee with me sometime?”

    There was a pause. Then came the answer. “I'd love to.”

    Mary smiled. It wasn't a miracle. It wasn't the end of her loneliness. It wasn't the person she had dreamed about finding for a relationship. It was simply coffee and the beginning of a new friendship.

    Sometimes the beginnings of any kind of relationship are very small. Sometimes they sound like: Would you like to come with me? Would you want to watch a movie? Do you want to get coffee?
    Would you like to sit here?

    Mary still visited the garden. She still had lonely evenings. There were still nights when she looked at the empty chair and wished someone were sitting in it, but now she wouldn't allow the loneliness to tightened around her heart. She knew she could ask for simple companionship when she felt lonely and she could always come here for comfort and peace.

    Wanting someone beside you does not make you weak. Being lonely does not mean you are forgotten. An empty chair is not a threat that no one will ever come. Sometimes… It is simply a chair waiting for a story that hasn't been written yet.

    Seed from the Garden
    “God setteth the solitary in families.” — Psalm 68:6
    Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two people are better than one because they can help each other up.

    God sees the lonely places we don't always know how to explain. He doesn't shame us for wanting companionship. While He may not answer that longing in the way or timing we expect, we can trust that our loneliness does not mean we have been forgotten. Sometimes the first step isn't finding the person we've been waiting for. Sometimes it's simply finding the courage to open the door to allow people in.

Mary stopped beside the pond. “Even the animals have someone.” Her voice cracked. “And I don't.” She sat beside the water. For a long time, she didn't notice anything different. Then something strange began. The garden seemed to change. Mary watched as a bee landed on a flower. The flower gave it the nectar that it searched for. A bird flew down to the pond where it found a worm in the soft soil and water to quench is thirst. A fruit fell from one of the branches and disappeared into the soil where the seed would grow. Mary watched quietly. She finally began to understand. The garden wasn't showing her perfect lives. This wasn't exactly the companionship she longed for. What it was showing her was a different kind of companionship. It showed her the connections that are made in all life. Little ones. Simple ones. Necessary ones. Then its leaves shimmered and Mary heard a whisper in her heart. "You are not wrong for wanting companionship.'' Mary's eyes filled with tears. People had told her it was good to be independent. They had told her to enjoy her own company. They had told her she didn't need anyone, but nobody had told her that wanting someone beside her wasn't a weakness. Mary rested her hand against the tree. “I don't want someone to rescue me.” The leaves rustled. “I just don't want to do everything alone. I just need a friend to do things with.” The tree remained silent, but somehow Mary understood. There was a difference between being incomplete and being lonely. She could be whole and still want someone to share some of the things in her life with. She could be grateful and still wish for a little companionship. She could love herself and still want someone sitting in the empty chair. Mary wiped her eyes. “Then why can't you find someone for me?” The tree's branches slowly moved toward the ground. One small branch pointed toward the garden gate. Mary frowned. “You want me to leave?” At first she was hurt, but then she understood. The garden couldn't choose another person's heart. It couldn't manufacture friendship. It couldn't make someone walk into her life. It couldn't promise that tomorrow she would meet the person she'd been waiting for. But it could give her somewhere to come back to when the loneliness became too heavy. It could remind her that loneliness wasn't proof that she was forgotten. Companionship had many different forms. Perhaps most importantly, it reminded her not to close her heart simply because she had been disappointed before. Mary stood. The tree's leaves shimmered. “I guess I just stopped trying.” She looked toward the garden gate. “Because every time I tried, I got hurt.” The garden grew very still. Mary took a deep breath. “Maybe I decided it was easier to do things alone, preferring to be lonely than to be hurt. That's not the same thing as being okay, is it?” The tree answered with a gentle shower of golden leaves. Mary laughed through her tears. “No,” she whispered. “It isn't.” When Mary returned home, the television was still playing. The empty chair was still there. Nothing about her house had changed. But Mary had. She looked at the chair. For years, she had thought the empty chair was proof that nobody was coming, no one wanted to be with her. Tonight, she saw it differently. It was simply an empty chair waiting to be filled. The next morning, Mary picked up her phone. She stared at the screen for several minutes. If she wanted a friend, she should make an effort. There was a woman she occasionally talked to. They had always talked easily, but Mary had never asked her to do anything outside their usual conversations. Her finger hovered over the call button. Then she pressed it. “Hi,” Mary said when the woman answered. “I was wondering…” She almost stopped. She fears that the woman would be too busy. That she would think Mary was being strange. But Mary continued. “Would you like to have coffee with me sometime?” There was a pause. Then came the answer. “I'd love to.” Mary smiled. It wasn't a miracle. It wasn't the end of her loneliness. It wasn't the person she had dreamed about finding for a relationship. It was simply coffee and the beginning of a new friendship. Sometimes the beginnings of any kind of relationship are very small. Sometimes they sound like: Would you like to come with me? Would you want to watch a movie? Do you want to get coffee? Would you like to sit here? Mary still visited the garden. She still had lonely evenings. There were still nights when she looked at the empty chair and wished someone were sitting in it, but now she wouldn't allow the loneliness to tightened around her heart. She knew she could ask for simple companionship when she felt lonely and she could always come here for comfort and peace. Wanting someone beside you does not make you weak. Being lonely does not mean you are forgotten. An empty chair is not a threat that no one will ever come. Sometimes… It is simply a chair waiting for a story that hasn't been written yet. Seed from the Garden “God setteth the solitary in families.” — Psalm 68:6 Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two people are better than one because they can help each other up. God sees the lonely places we don't always know how to explain. He doesn't shame us for wanting companionship. While He may not answer that longing in the way or timing we expect, we can trust that our loneliness does not mean we have been forgotten. Sometimes the first step isn't finding the person we've been waiting for. Sometimes it's simply finding the courage to open the door to allow people in. #christianwriter #christianfiction #christianfantasy #stacyfrantz #MysticalGardens

  • THE SPIRITUAL TRUTHS OF EACH BEATTITUDE…

    The Beatitudes, delivered by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:3-12), are far more than a moral code or a list of pleasant virtues. They map out a radical spiritual inversion—a pathway where worldly weakness becomes divine strength and the values of the human ego are completely upended by the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven.

    "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
    The Spiritual Truth: Spiritual Bankruptcy is the Gate to Grace.
    Insight: To be "poor in spirit" means recognizing your utter inability to save, justify, or sustain yourself spiritually on your own terms. It strips away self-sufficiency and spiritual pride. The paradox is that you can only inherit divine richness when you admit your spiritual destitution.

    2. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
    The Spiritual Truth: Holy Sorrow Prepares the Heart for Divine Joy.
    Insight: This mourning refers not just to general grief or bereavement, but to deep contrition over personal sin and the brokenness of the world. In a culture that desperately pursues endless distraction and superficial happiness, this truth teaches that facing the weight of human suffering and our own shortcomings creates an empty space that only divine comfort can fill.

    3. "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."
    The Spiritual Truth: Surrendered Power is True Strength.
    Insight: Meekness (prautes) is often misunderstood as weakness or timidity, but in the ancient world, it described a wild stallion that had been broken and trained to respond to the slightest touch of its master's reins. It is power under control. The meek do not need to manipulate, dominate, or defend themselves because they trust God to vindicate them, ultimately inheriting the renewed creation.

    4. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."
    The Spiritual Truth: Desire Determines Destiny.
    Insight: Most people hunger for comfort, approval, status, or security. This beatitude points to a relentless, visceral appetite—like a starving person craving food—for alignment with God's justice, character, and righteousness. Spiritual fullness is not given to the self-satisfied, but to those whose deepest craving is union with the divine good.

    5. "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy."
    The Spiritual Truth: Grace Given is Grace Received.
    Insight: Mercy is withholding judgment and extending active compassion where it is completely unearned. Spiritually, we cannot truly comprehend or hold onto the mercy we’ve received from God if we hoard it from others. Extending forgiveness and empathy is the mirror that reflects our own participation in God's forgiving nature.

    6. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."
    The Spiritual Truth: Internal Singleness of Purpose Leads to Divine Vision.
    Insight: Purity here does not mean flawless perfection; it means integrous and undivided. A pure heart is one whose motives are transparent, unclouded by hypocrisy, double-mindedness, or hidden agendas. When the lens of the heart is wiped clean of ego-driven distortions, God stops being a theological concept and becomes a lived reality you can perceive everywhere.

    7. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
    The Spiritual Truth: Active Reconciliation Mirrors the Family Likeness.
    Insight: Peacemaking is vastly different from mere "peacekeeping" (which often just sweeps conflict under the rug to keep things quiet). Peacemakers actively step into hostility, brokenness, and division to bridge gaps, absorbing conflict to restore harmony. By doing this, they act like their Father, bearing the unmistakable family resemblance.

    8. "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
    The Spiritual Truth: Friction is the Proof of Alignment.
    Insight: When a life completely aligns with transcendent truth and selfless love, it inevitably clashes with a world system built on self-preservation and compromise. This beatitude reframes suffering not as a sign of divine abandonment, but as the ultimate badge of honor—proof that your life is echoing a reality higher than this world.

  • I built an audience of over 8,000 people who trusted me with their tech journey, real transitions, real results, real proof.
    I shared roadmaps, resources, opportunities and practical advice, and most importantly, I saw people actually use them to make progress.

    Then one day, it was gone. Facebook dißbled the account without warning.

    I could have quit. Instead, I'm starting again this time, smarter.

    A little about me:

    I have a degree in Industrial Chemistry, I'm pursuing a degree in Cybersecurity, I'm currently pursuing a professional certification with Google PWAN, and I'm also the founder of PornBlock.

    But honestly, the credentials aren't what I'm most proud of.

    I'm proud of the 2,000+ beginners I've helped with tech roadmaps, people who came to me confused about where to start, what to learn and how to move from.

    And that's why I don't believe in telling everyone to learn the same skill.
    Someone might be better suited for UI/UX.
    Someone else might thrive in Cybersecurity, Data Analysis, Software Development, Digital Marketing, Product Design or another path entirely.

    My job is to help beginners understand their options, choose a realistic path and know what to do next.

    I also wrote Win the Job Toolkit — a practical guide for beginners who are tired of applying without knowing what they're doing wrong. It covers things like building a stronger CV, preparing for interviews, positioning yourself properly and understanding how to pursue remote and freelance opportunities.

    I'm not starting again with nothing.
    I'm starting again with everything I've learned along the way.

    And if you're trying to figure out your own path into tech, you're welcome to be my friend.

  • SERMON TITLE: "He Must Increase& l decrease:

    Am Reagan a servant & a Witness of Jesus in this Last Age"
    Key Texts: John 3:30, Acts 26:16, Revelation 1:1-3, Joel 2:28, Hebrews 1:2, Matthew 24:44, 1 Peter 1:15-16



    INTRODUCTION
    Church, we are living in the last age.
    God is speaking again — Hebrews 1:2 — “but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son.”
    And He is still pouring out His Spirit — Joel 2:28 — “your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.”

    The Lord showed me 3 things( visions): Red 7 in the sky, Green 7 on the wall, and then a skeleton after they vanished.
    I’m not here to be called a title. I’m here for one reason: John 3:30 — “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
    I am a servant to feed His sheep truth. A witness to testify to what I have seen Him.
    And the message is for you now: Awaken. Renew. Repent. Obey. Be pure. Jesus is coming.

    1. AWAKENING: HEAR THE SON-- GOD IS SPEAKING THROUGH THE SON.

    Revelation 1:1 — “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place.”

    Proverbs29:18 .. ' without visions people perish."

    MESSAGE of the Red 7 vision in the sky — Red speaks of blood. 7 speaks of completion.
    This is heaven’s warning: The blood of Jesus has finished the work, and the time is complete. Joel 2:30-31 — “wonders in heavens... before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.”
    God is saying: Wake up. The Judge is at the door. James 5:9

    We cannot sleep in sin when heaven is writing in the sky.
    Romans 13:11 — “it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”

    2. RENEWAL & REVIVAL: LIFE ON THE WALL
    Green 7 vision on the wall — Green is life, growth, restoration. The wall is God’s house, the boundary of His people. Ezekiel 22:30 — “I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach.”

    God is calling for renewal. Not new methods. New hearts.
    Psalm 51:10 — “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”
    Ezekiel 37:4 — “Prophesy to these bones... O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.”

    This is revival: When God’s Word brings life back to dead places.
    But it only comes when we return to the Word and the Spirit. Zechariah 4:6 — “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord.”

    3. REPENTANCE & OBEDIENCE: OR THE SKELETON REMAINS
    Skeleton vision. ,after they vanished. skeleton vision— When the warning of blood and the offer of life are ignored, what’s left is death.
    Ezekiel 37:11 — “These bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up.’”

    This is the danger of the last age: Religious, but dead. Revelation 3:1 — “You have a reputation that you are alive, but you are dead.”

    The answer is not more activity. It’s repentance.
    Acts 3:19 — “Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.”
    John 14:23 — “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word.”

    Obedience is proof of love. Purity is proof of waiting.
    1 John 3:3 — “And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.”
    1 Peter 1:15-16 — “As he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.”

    4. THE WITNESS: TESTIFY OF HIM, NOT OF SELF
    Acts 26:16 — “I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me.”

    This is my calling in the last age. Not platforms. Not titles. Witnesses.
    Revelation 19:10 — “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

    Every vision, every warning, every sermon must point to Jesus.
    John 3:30 — “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
    If people leave remembering me, I failed. If they leave hungry for Jesus, I succeeded.

    Matthew 24:44 — “Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

    APPLICATION: 4 STEPS TO BE READY
    Awaken - Get out of spiritual sleep. Watch and pray. Mark 13:33
    Renew - Ask God to revive your first love. Revelation 2:4-5
    Repent + Obey - Turn from sin. Walk in the Word. James 1:22
    Purify - Live holy as thy God is Holy God.

  • Don Francisco’s “He’s Alive”
    A Story of Fear, Forgiveness, and Resurrection
    There is something almost haunting about the beginning of Don Francisco’s “He’s Alive.”
    It doesn’t begin with celebration. It begins in the dark. Peter is hiding.
    The doors are shut. The windows are fastened. Outside is the world that has just killed Jesus, and inside is a frightened group of men who don’t know what will happen next. Peter cannot sleep.
    Every sound must seem dangerous. Every shadow beyond the door could mean soldiers. But Peter is carrying something heavier than fear.
    He is carrying shame.
    Only days before, he had stood beside Jesus and promised that he would never leave Him. Yet when the pressure came, Peter denied knowing Him.
    Not once. Three times.
    And now Jesus is dead.
    Peter has to live with the knowledge that the last thing he did while Jesus was alive was fail Him.
    Then, before sunrise, Mary comes. She brings news that sounds impossible.
    The stone has been moved.
    The tomb is empty.
    Jesus’ body is gone.
    Peter and John run.
    They reach the tomb and find the evidence for themselves, the stone rolled away, the burial cloths lying there, but no Jesus. John begins to understand. Peter doesn’t.
    And that is one of the most beautiful things about Francisco’s song.
    Peter doesn’t instantly become a man of triumphant faith.
    He is confused.
    He has seen Jesus die.
    He knows what death looks like. An empty tomb is astonishing, but Peter’s heart is still trying to catch up with what his eyes have seen.
    So he returns. And there, alone with his thoughts, the resurrection becomes something far more frightening.
    Because if Jesus really is alive…
    Peter is going to have to face Him. And what would Jesus say?
    Would He remind Peter of the promises he had made?
    Would He ask why Peter had denied Him?
    Would He turn away?
    Would He condemn him?
    Peter has every reason to believe that he deserves it.
    And then, in the beautiful dramatic imagination of Francisco’s song, something happens that Peter could never have expected. Jesus appears.
    Alive. Not as a memory.
    Not as a ghost. Not as someone Peter wishes he could see.
    Jesus is standing there.
    And Peter looks at Him.
    The man Peter thought he had lost forever is alive.
    But there is something even more astonishing.
    Jesus isn’t there to punish him.
    He doesn’t come with anger.
    He doesn’t come with a list of Peter’s failures.
    He comes with love.
    Peter falls before Him, overwhelmed by the impossible reality of it all.
    The Savior he denied is standing before him.
    And instead of condemnation, Peter finds forgiveness.
    Instead of judgment, he finds mercy.
    Instead of the end of his story, he discovers that God has written another chapter.
    And suddenly Peter understands.
    The empty tomb wasn’t simply proof that Jesus had conquered death.
    It was proof that Peter’s failure wasn’t the end either.
    Jesus is alive.
    And because He is alive, Peter can be forgiven. Peter can get up. Peter can breathe again.
    Peter can live again.
    And that is what makes Don Francisco’s “He’s Alive” so much more than an Easter song. It is a song about what the resurrection feels like to someone who knows they have failed. It is about the moment when shame tells you that you are finished…
    and Jesus tells you that you are not.
    Francisco originally tried to tell the resurrection story through Thomas, but the song came together when he began telling it through Peter. Francisco has explained that Peter’s guilt and shame were something he personally understood.
    That choice changed everything. Because Peter wasn’t a perfect disciple.
    He was impulsive. He was courageous one moment and frightened the next.
    He promised more than he could deliver. He failed Jesus at the very moment he thought he would be strongest.
    And yet Jesus came back for him. That’s the heart of “He’s Alive.” Not simply that the tomb was empty. Not simply that death had been defeated.
    But that the same Jesus Peter believed he had betrayed beyond repair was standing before him with forgiveness.
    The song takes the greatest event in Christianity and tells it through the eyes of a broken man. And perhaps that’s why it has endured. Because somewhere inside Peter, many of us recognize ourselves.
    We know what it is to make promises we couldn’t keep.
    We know what it is to look backward and wish we could change something.
    We know what guilt feels like.
    We know what it is to wonder whether we have gone too far.
    And then comes the message of the resurrection:
    You are not finished.
    The stone was rolled away.
    The grave was empty.
    Jesus was alive.
    And Peter, the man who thought he had failed beyond forgiveness was given another chance. That is why the final declaration carries so much weight. He’s alive.
    Not merely alive in history.
    Not merely alive in doctrine.
    But alive in such a way that Peter’s story can continue.
    And perhaps that is the quiet miracle at the center of Don Francisco’s song…
    Jesus didn’t erase Peter’s past.
    He redeemed it.
    And the man who once stood outside a fire denying that he knew Jesus could now stand in the light knowing that Jesus still knew him.
    He was alive.
    Peter was forgiven.
    And the story wasn’t over.

    Don Francisco’s “He’s Alive” A Story of Fear, Forgiveness, and Resurrection There is something almost haunting about the beginning of Don Francisco’s “He’s Alive.” It doesn’t begin with celebration. It begins in the dark. Peter is hiding. The doors are shut. The windows are fastened. Outside is the world that has just killed Jesus, and inside is a frightened group of men who don’t know what will happen next. Peter cannot sleep. Every sound must seem dangerous. Every shadow beyond the door could mean soldiers. But Peter is carrying something heavier than fear. He is carrying shame. Only days before, he had stood beside Jesus and promised that he would never leave Him. Yet when the pressure came, Peter denied knowing Him. Not once. Three times. And now Jesus is dead. Peter has to live with the knowledge that the last thing he did while Jesus was alive was fail Him. Then, before sunrise, Mary comes. She brings news that sounds impossible. The stone has been moved. The tomb is empty. Jesus’ body is gone. Peter and John run. They reach the tomb and find the evidence for themselves, the stone rolled away, the burial cloths lying there, but no Jesus. John begins to understand. Peter doesn’t. And that is one of the most beautiful things about Francisco’s song. Peter doesn’t instantly become a man of triumphant faith. He is confused. He has seen Jesus die. He knows what death looks like. An empty tomb is astonishing, but Peter’s heart is still trying to catch up with what his eyes have seen. So he returns. And there, alone with his thoughts, the resurrection becomes something far more frightening. Because if Jesus really is alive… Peter is going to have to face Him. And what would Jesus say? Would He remind Peter of the promises he had made? Would He ask why Peter had denied Him? Would He turn away? Would He condemn him? Peter has every reason to believe that he deserves it.
