A RAPTURE MESSAGE:
In the days of Noah, when the LORD saw the wickedness of man was great, and all the imaginations of the thoughts of his heart were only evil continually. Then it repented the LORD, that He made man in the earth, and He was sorry in His heart (It grieved His heart) (His heart was deeply troubled, filled with pain). By faith, Noah, being warned of things to come, moved with godly fear, and prepared an ark to escape the waters of the flood.
Spiritually, those of us who are ready, are on the ark right now, waiting, and the door is getting ready to shut. More people still need time to be saved. "The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9) Aren't you glad He waited for you? I'm so glad He waited for me. As we wait for our departure, and for others to come to Christ, let's try to continue living a life that pleases and honors Him.
How does a person get ready? When their heart's ready. God sees our heart, and when we have repented, and surrendered our whole life to Christ, we prepare our hearts for Him to receive us either up in the air or when our bodies give up our spirit.
**********************************
The eyes of the LORD search throughout all the earth for people, who have given themselves completely to Him - whose hearts are completely committed to Him, to show Himself strong with them that are of perfect heart toward Him. (2 Chronicles 16:9)
My son, give Me your heart. (Proverbs 23:26)
Above all else, guard your heart, for life flows from it. For as the heart is either pure or corrupt, so is the whole course of man's life. (Proverbs 4:23)
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10) Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19:14) I have hidden Your Word in my heart, that I might not sin against You. (Psalm 119:11) "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." (Matthew 5:8) ...the LORD sees the heart. (1 Samuel 16:7) "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:30-31) "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this, all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." (John 13:34-35)

A CLOSER LOOK INTO THE COMING OF CHRIST: Stay alert, because you don’t know on what day your LORD will come. (Matthew 24:42 ~ CJB) An example of the horrible carelessness of men in those things, whereof they ought to be most careful. (Matthew 24:42 ~ 1599 Geneva Bible - Footnotes) You must always be ready, for the Son of Man will come when you are not expecting Him. (Matthew 24:44 ~ CJB) Jesus made clear that His coming could not be timed, and suggested it would take some time - so long, in fact, that some will not be looking for Him any longer (at an hour when you do not expect Him). (Matthew 24:44 ~ NET - Footnotes) It is sufficient for us to know that God hath appointed a latter day for the restoring of all things, but when it shall be, it is hidden from us all, for our profit, that we may be so much the more watchful, that we be not taken as they were in old time in the flood. (Matthew 24:36 ~ 1599 Geneva Bible - Footnotes) We must desire strength at God’s hand, which may serve us as a torch, while we walk through this darkness, to bring us to our desired end; otherwise, if we become slothful and negligent as weary of our pains and travail, we shall be shut out of the doors. (Matthew 25:1 ~ 1599 Geneva Bible - Footnotes) The latter day is not to be searched for, which the Father alone knoweth, but let us rather take heed, that it come not upon us unaware. (Mark 13:32 ~ 1599 Geneva Bible - Footnotes) He speaketh of these things, as though he should be one of them whom the LORD shall find alive at His coming, because that time is uncertain, and therefore, every one of us ought to be in such a readiness, as if the LORD were coming at every moment. (1 Thessalonians 4:15 ~ 1599 Geneva Bible - Footnotes)

*The Lord looks down from heaven on the entire human race; He looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God.
(Psalm 14:2 NLT)
*You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
(Jeremiah 29:13)
*You will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him, if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
(Deuteronomy 4:29)
That is, sin and error is driven back by the coming of Christ, which is here described by the spring time, when all things flourish.
However, the Scripture I hold onto when it comes to Christ's coming is Matthew 24:44 "You must always be ready,"
and "that time is uncertain, and therefore, every one
of us ought to be in such a readiness, as if the LORD
were coming at every moment."
(1 Thessalonians 4:15 ~ 1599 Geneva Bible - Footnotes.)
Therefore, let us not be idle, anxious, complain, or grow weary in waiting, but to be about our Father's business with the grace God gives. Let us not consume ourselves with "self," waste time trying to set dates, fixing our eyes on the antichrist (we are to fix our eyes on JESUS, Heb. 12:2) or be entangled with unfruitful talk or ways of the world, but let us continue in prayer, reading God's Word, loving & encouraging others, using our gifts to serve, give to the poor, witnessing with any opportunity we have, and run with patience (perseverance/endurance) the race set before us.
There was a time, I had complained about waiting so long for the rapture, and I was rebuked! That night, in my dream, the Lord said, "I will come when I come."
He hates complaining. We must wait with a good attitude, being faithful, working for the Lord in the assignments He has given each of us to do. We have been prepared to be here at this time to shine as lights in a dark world, and are now being trained to rule and reign in Christ's Kingdom on Earth (millennial kingdom).
"Keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time."
(1 Timothy 6:14,15)
Inspirational Quotes:
"If we're still here, there's still work to do."
"As children of God, and like children of a "good" earthly daddy, we are eager, filled with excitement, and anticipation to be taken on a trip, to a place that will far exceed what our small minds can comprehend - our Father's surprise!"
"We're one day closer to Glory."
"If the race seems long, keep holding on."

*Share your food with the hungry,
and give shelter to the homeless.
Give clothes to those who need them.
Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble.
Then your light will shine out from the darkness,
and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.
(Isaiah 58:7, 10)
MY RAPTURE DREAM:
ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO, THE LORD GAVE ME A DREAM OF THE RAPTURE, AND GAVE ME A HINT TO THE TIME FRAME.
THE HINT WAS THE WORDS I SHOUTED AS I WAS GOING UP. THESE WORDS WOULD NOT BE WHAT I WOULD SAY IF THE RAPTURE HAPPENED BACK THEN...ONLY NOW, WOULD IT MAKE SENSE, AND WOULD DEFINITELY BE WHAT I WOULD SAY IF THE RAPTURE WAS TODAY. AS WE WE'RE GOING UP, IT ALL HAPPENED SLOWLY ...
(IN 1 CORINTHIANS 15:52, IT SAYS THAT WE WILL BE CHANGED IN A TWINKLING OF AN EYE). YES, WE WE'RE CHANGED, HOWEVER, AS WE GO UP, IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME. WE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO TAKE ALL OF IT IN, OF WHAT'S GOING ON...WE WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK AROUND US, AND BE FILLED WITH COMPLETE AMAZEMENT AND EXCITEMENT. EVERYONE OF US WERE PERFECTLY SPACED APART, UP IN THE AIR (From Scripture, I believe it was so far up in the sky where people below cannot see, as Christ says to us, "Come up hither," (Rev. 4); Christ and all the saints are possibly at the point of high-level clouds, where it is not visible from the ground - above ~ 20,000 feet). IT WAS DAYTIME - BLUE SKIES -WHERE I LIVED (SOUTHEASTERN PART OF THE U.S.) THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT - "The body is raised in power." (1 Cor. 15:43) THE ENERGY - THE SOUND WAS WHIRRING AS WE WE'RE GOING UP. EACH ONE OF US HAD A BRIGHT LIGHT ENGULFING AND SURROUNDING US, AS WE WERE ALL PERFECTLY SPACED AND GOING UP TOGETHER, SLOWLY, IN PERFECT UNITY. THIS DREAM WAS NOT FOR TWENTY YEARS AGO, TEN YEARS OR FIVE YEARS AGO. THAT DREAM IS FOR TODAY. THE KING IS COMING, AND FROM MY DREAM, HE WILL COME IN MY LIFETIME, AS I WAS A PART OF IT, EXPERIENCED IT, AND AM NOW AWARE THAT IT WAS IN A LATTER TIME OF MY LIFE. THE KING IS COMING, AND IT COULD BE TODAY. IT MAKES SENSE NOW, WHY THE LORD PRESSED UPON MY HEART LAST YEAR TO CREATE "A MESSAGE TO THE TRIBULATION SAINTS." AND AFTER HOLDING ONTO THIS DREAM ALL OF THESE YEARS, TODAY - JUNE 2025, I AM, FOR THE FIRST TIME, FEEL SUCH AN URGENCY TO NOW SHARE THIS DREAM. SAINTS, THE KING IS COMING! JUST AS HE TOLD ME IN PRAYER THIS MORNING, AND VERY OFTEN; RECENTLY, HE IS NOW TELLING ME TO FINISH (THE WORK HE HAS CALLED ME TO DO) THIS MEANS HIS COMING IS VERY NEAR...WE'RE NEARING THE FINISH LINE.

My Most Recent Dream (7/3/2025) of
Jesus' Encouragement Regarding the Rapture
In the dream, it was an encouragement and
comfort to me in my personal life, yet it
says in God's Word that we should comfort
others as we have been comforted by God.
(2 Cor. 1:3-4) I know that this dream
is not just for me, but for all who are waiting
eagerly for His return. And He wants His people
to receive these words - to be just for them.
Here's the message in the dream:
"Fight! You are the Winner, the Champion,
and a Victor in Christ. (Romans 8:37)
If you're weary, barely holding on,
the race seems long, you're tired and hurting,
and the cares of this life weigh you down...
just HOLD ON. Until I come, I AM keeping you safe."
♥Jesus was singing a song in the dream,
encouraging all of us, in love, to "Hold On."
*Matthew 26:30; Mark 14:26; Zephaniah 3:17
"Keep Going"
You have one life to live - so live it.
Christ's love in you - so give it.
There's a race to run - keep running!
Be strong - Jesus is coming!
Almost home - let's look up!
He's the prize - we can't give up.
You're a light in the dark - don't hide it.
If your light flickers - fight it.
We're not of this world - and not staying.
We have access to heaven - so keep praying.
If you're weary - the race seems long.
Hold on to Jesus - and keep holding on.
No matter who you are - no matter what you do.
What really matters - is Who died for you.
Our goal is to be like Jesus - so keep growing.
Let's make the mark - and keep going.
