IT IS COMING
By TIGGER9807
I stood on a large rock and
looked in the distance. There I could see clouds
of the storm coming. They were as black as they
could be. As I watched they drew closer. Finally
I could distinguish seven separate tornadoes
underneath them. The wind was blowing in front of
them cleansing everything not fastened down.
At first I felt a great fear
spread over me for they took up the whole
horizon. Then a peace settled over me as
knowledge that if I stood firmly on the rock I
was standing on that they would just pass me by
and not harm me. So I stood and watched the
majesty of God at work. I yelled at the people
around me that they were coming, but few would
listen. I could feel the wind as they drew
closer, sweeping strongly onward.
Finally, just as these
tornadoes were coming over the last rise, a great
earthquake as never having been felt before hit
the land we were in. The people and buildings
they had built were falling everywhere. Lots were
being hurt, many killed by the debris from the
buildings falling on them. Then the earth they
had been building on opened and started
swallowing them. I could feel a rolling on the
rock I was on but not enough to even cause me to
lose my balance. A great sadness filled my heart
as I saw the horror around me.
Then God spoke and told me
"Go and warn them. For it is coming and many
will fall and many will die."
I then woke up and asked God
for the meaning of this dream. He told me to ask
several of His prophets. I have learned that I am
not the only one that has seen this warning of it
coming, others have had dreams and visions. In
Joel 2:28-29 it says "And afterward,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your
sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old
men will dream dreams, and your young men will
see visions. Even on my servants, both men and
women I will pour out my Spirit in those
days." Yes, this is happening
today.
This is what He showed me of
this dream (both personally and through the
people He sent me to.) He took me to Matthew 24.
He showed me that though this was spoken in the
physical, some of these would also take place in
the spiritual realm. He told me to go and warn
others so I am doing this by speaking this
teaching. I know many will disagree, but I have
to do what God told me to do. Please pray about
this as you listen and ask God to speak truth to
your hearts.
Here is what I know...
The wind ahead of these
tornadoes already is blowing in the churches. It
is stirring up the church, cleansing out those
that are not truly walking with God, but only
believe that they have done all they are suppose
to do in:
1. Saying the words of the
sinners prayer - but not really choosing to let
it be a conversion, just a safeguard. God wants
it to be a life changing decision. A commitment
to walk with Him, not just to figure that since
you said the words now you can do as you please.
Jesus said, "If you love me you will
obey my commandments." When you
truly love someone you seek to please him or her
and to be with them as much as possible. They are
then the most important things in your life.
Is Jesus Christ the most
important thing in your life? Are you in love
with Him? Or is He just someone that is out there
and you know of Him in your head, but your heart
is empty of the knowledge? Do you know of Him, or
do you know Him personally?
2. Giving to God. This is NOT
to be done as a duty or as a bartering with God,
as in I will give you this much but expect 30 -
100 times back in return. God is not a
loan officer. We are to give weekly of
our tithes and offerings, but NOT because we
expect God to give us more in return. Jesus tells
us that His Kingdom is not of this world, so why
should we seek to have it here? In Matthew
6:19-21 Jesus tells us to lay up our treasures in
heaven, where neither rust nor moths can destroy
it, nor thief steal it. He also said where your
treasure is there is your heart.
Sister's and brother's where is
your heart today? Is it focused on the temporal
world, or on God's Kingdom? In Matthew 6:34 Jesus
tells us not to worry about tomorrow for today
has enough trouble of its own. I am not saying
God does not bless us, but I am saying He blesses
a lot of times in the spiritual, laying up
treasures in Heaven for us. In the meantime, when
you accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior you
become joint heirs with Jesus, this means you are
a child of the most high God. How much richer can
you be?
3. Attending church faithfully.
Not truly out of love of God, but as a social
club, as a means of gathering gossip for the
week, or as a means of status. Sometimes it seems
some people just attend church to get fuel for
their gossip sessions during the week. The church
is supposed to be a family, each interceding for
the other and affirming the other in God.
We need to take time to thank
God for one another instead of seeking to tear
each other down. We need to intercede for our
brothers and sisters before God on their behalf.
Take a moment today to intercede for someone,
then give thanks for that someone being in your
life, and a part of the family of God. The Word
of God tells us we are to exhort one another, not
tear each other down. Instead of talking down
about someone, (including your pastors) lift him
or her up to our Father that cares and loves us.
The Tornadoes
Tornado 1...
War and rumors of wars. (Matthew 24: 6) This is a
hard one to understand for it is Christian
against Christian. Many are already suffering in
this country (financially, physically, and yes,
spiritually) and condemned by other Christians
for their suffering. There is a famous saying
"The Christian army is the only army that
kills its wounded." Many
"Christians" will turn on others and
try to kill them (spiritually) for not following
their own beliefs.
Denominations will become a
battleground, a means of war. Each one believing
that they are the only true way to God, and if
you do not practice as they do then you are wrong
and your mind must be changed to their way. I
have seen this already (and experienced it
personally) in the ways many treat each other,
even though each one has accepted Jesus Christ as
the Son of God and Savior and Lord of their
lives. We need to know that no matter what our
denomination, if it is Truth (Biblically sound)
then we need to accept the other person for it is
the same Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in each of
us.
Tornado 2...
Kingdom against kingdom, and Nation against
nation. (Matthew 24:7) This is not only going to
be in the physical, but also in the spiritual
realm. The Kingdom of God is going to go to
battle against the kingdoms we still have ruling
in our lives. Whether it is self, money, family,
friends, whatever, God wants to be Lord and King
of our lives, and we will either surrender these
kingdoms to Him or we will turn away from Him.
It is a hard thing to give up
these kingdoms in our lives for they are a very
strong part of our lives, but this is required of
us. It says in Matthew 6:24 that we cannot serve
two masters, for we will hate the one and love
the other. Jesus Christ is to be our Lord and
Master.
Tornado 3...
Famines and Earthquakes. (Matthew 24:7) This also
is not only in the physical realm but also in the
spiritual realm. The famines will be the starving
for the Word of God. People will read the word
but it will be as dust in their mouths, dry and
of no nutritional value. I already hear over and
over, "I read the Bible but it does not
speak to me." The earthquakes will be the
shaking of people's faith in not having fed
strongly already of the Word of God and so not
knowing what they truly are to believe and stand
on.
Do not turn to man for the
answers, turn to God. Seek to have a closer
relationship with Him, now while you can. Do not
put off getting to know God in a stronger way.
Read His word, talk to Him, worship Him, love Him
with all your heart, mind, body and spirit. To
love God in this manner is the first and greatest
commandment Jesus gave to His followers.
Matthew 24:8... All these are
the beginning of birth pains. Having had children
I know it gets worse so be prepared.
Tornado 4... Handed
over and Persecuted, hated by all nations.
(Matthew 24:9) This will be in the physical
world. We as Christians will be handed over, by
friends, and even family to persecution for what
we stand for. Even people in the church will
betray us. These are the ones that are there for
the wrong reasons. Christians will be hated
strongly for what they believe in and condemned
even unto death for what they stand for.
God is going to bring us back
to the church of the first century, where we will
have to stand together, no one better, no one
worse than the other. Alone we will be weak and
fall. This does not mean we are to put our trust
in other men, but we are to put our trust in God
and He will show us whom we may trust as far as
we should. In Jeremiah 17:5 it says "Thus
sayeth the Lord: 'Cursed is the one who trusts in
man, who depends on flesh for his strength and
whose heart turns away from the Lord.'" So
we are not to place our trust in man, but in God.
Allowing Him to show us whom we may trust in
these times. This is a hard thing for some of us
to do, as we have been hurt by people in the
churches, even in some cases by the pastors
themselves. But again that is a human, not God.
(Even pastors are human.) But in these times we
will either stand together supporting one
another, or more shall fall away. This is where
the second commandment of God comes in to play:
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Tornado 5... Many
will turn away from the faith and betray and hate
each other. (Matthew 24:10) If our walk with God
is not strong, and we do not know what we believe
in, we will turn away. At that time we will hate
those that still stand in the faith of God. Pride
and anger will set in. The anger coming from the
pride that says, "Who do they think they
are? I will show them that they and their God are
not so strong. They think they are better than I
am. I will show them." Thus at this time
they will betray and hate us even if they are
family.
Seek God's approval not man's
for it will not matter in the end, only God's
approval will matter. We need to be able to look
only at Jesus and not at other humans, even if
family. Jesus said that brother will turn against
brother, son against father, daughter against
mother, etc. Do you have your eyes set on Jesus
so strongly that if your own child or parent, or
relative turned against you in this manner that
you could look beyond them and see Jesus? Believe
me Satan will use your family as a tool against
you.
Does having friends and being
popular seem so important that you would turn
away from Jesus for those "friends"
approval? Do you honestly know in your heart that
you could stand firm against the ridicules, and
rejections, and yes even torture to make you turn
from Jesus? Can you do as Stephen did? He stood
firm to the end, and even as he died he asked God
not to hold that sin against the ones stoning
him. He was a witness for Christ to the very last
word he ever spoke. He was confident of where he
stood with Jesus Christ, are you?
Tornado 6... False
Prophets will appear and deceive many. (Matthew
24:11) Thus enters the false prophets. The ones
that are not truly of God and yet say "thus
sayeth the Lord." These are the ones that
are going to school to learn to be a prophet of
God. They are learning man's way not God's. A
true prophet of God does NOT need to go to school
to learn the gift of prophecy. Prophecy is a gift
of God. A true prophet of God is never self
proclaimed, but God shows them to be so by their
words and actions. A true prophet of God is NEVER
wrong, for God is never wrong. The false prophets
may be appointed but not anointed. This means
they may be appointed of man, but certainly not
anointed of God. They will speak the scriptures,
but so twisted to fit their means that many will
believe them and follow them. God will no longer
be the great I AM, but I (self) will be the great
god.
Many are already being taught
that we are god's, that we each one are gods and
we do not need to seek Jesus as Lord, but as a
mentor, a guide. We are told to be open to
whatever, and not to pray for discernment, but
just to accept whatever comes in and later we
will know if it is of God by the fruits. Many are
allowing spirits NOT of God in by this acceptance
teaching. Matthew 7:15-20 warns us this way
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to
you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are
ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will
recognize them. Do people pick grapes from
thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise
every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree
bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad
fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut
down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their
fruit you will recognize them." This is why
they tell you not to pray for discernment.

Pray
for discernment. Pray for the true Spirit of God,
not this drunken spirit that many are teaching,
but the Spirit of God that cares about the
salvation of people. When the Holy Spirit first
came upon those in the upper room they talked
with different languages. This was confusing to
some so they accused them of drunkenness. Peter
explained it at that time, but some "false
prophets" of today feel they know more than
Jesus' disciples and so proclaim lies stated as
fact. Leading people to believe God is in a
partying mood, and so wants everyone drunk with
the "new wine" and no longer caring
about the salvation or those still unsaved. This
is totally contradictory of what Jesus came to
this world to do. And because we as humans desire
to know God more in the physical we soak it up
instead of going to God's word and seeking the
truth. Please, brothers
and sisters of God, GO TO HIS WORD, SEEK THE
ANSWER. Accept only the truth: Jesus said I am
the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life, no man comes to
the Father but through me. Ask yourselves
"Do these people preach Jesus' salvation, or
just a party of drunkenness? Are they fulfilling
Jesus' commandment to go into all the world and
make disciples, or just telling you to seek the
power, focus on what God can do for you? Is God
truly Lord, or has self become so?"
Tornado 7... Because
of the increase of wickedness the love of many
will grow cold. (Matthew 24:12) This one just
basically finishes up what all the others already
have done. Many in these tornadoes are going to
fall and die spiritually. I know many believe
that you cannot lose your salvation, this is true
if it is a true conversion, not just words spoken
in a moment's emotion. BUT, if you do not truly
make it a conversion, a life changing belief,
then one day it may be as Jesus said in the
Bible. In Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus said "Not
everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord,' will enter
the Kingdom of Heaven, but only he who does the
will of my Father who is in Heaven. Many will say
to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not
prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out
demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will
tell them plainly, "I never knew you. Away
from me you evildoers!"
Matthew 24:13 says that he who
stands firm to the end will be saved. You do not
have to "earn" your salvation, but your
salvation is to be a conversion. Not just words
spoken. It is to be a life-changing thing. Like
Saul was converted and became Paul. Seek to let
it be such a conversion God gives you a new name.
To convert means to turn away from ALL that is
displeasing to God, not tomorrow or next week but
NOW! I know some things seem so overwhelming, but
in Christ ALL things are possible. We as humans
will stumble. We will fail at times. It is then
that we just have to keep giving it up to God. He
is faithful and He is the same ALWAYS. I know for
I have had to give things to Him, over and over.
But each time I ask forgiveness, He is faithful
to just pick me up, brush me off, fix my wounds,
and say "ok daughter ready to go on?"
I know we are not perfect, for
we live in an imperfect world, but we are to seek
to be as much like Jesus as we can. So I plead
with you… Get into God's word, seek to know
Him better, fall in love with Him for He loves
you. God is a God of love but He is also a God of
truth, and if you are not teaching truth (Jesus
is the Truth!) you are not teaching the one true
God. God is a God of love, BUT He is also a God
of justice, and man has been asking for it for a
LONG time, and God's fist of wrath is hovering
over the world at this time.
The Earthquake
The Earthquake I saw, was for
NOW. It is warning that many are building on the
sand. They are building on false teachings. They
are building on prosperity, and name it and claim
it, and on counterfeit revivals. (God is not a
bank! He is not to be at our command! We are to
pray according to His will not ours! And NOWHERE
in the scriptures does it tell us that the Holy
Spirit barks as a dog, nor howls, but that He
speaks to the exhortation of the church, or as a
private prayer language.)
They have taken their eyes off
the true God and placed them on man and are
building on what man is saying. The world they
are building on is going to open up and swallow
them into the pits of hell. The life that they
are building on man's teachings are going to fall
on them.
Not all will die spiritually,
but many will, for they will blame God and turn
from Him. For many are placing God where they
want Him to be, and not allowing God to place
them where He wants them to be. God desires that
we be standing on the Rock of Jesus Christ.
Building for the Kingdom of God, not for our own
worldly gains. In Matthew 7:24-27 Jesus tells it
this way "Therefore everyone who
hears these words of mine, and puts them into
practice is like a wise man who built his house
on the rock. The rain came down, the streams
rose, and the winds blew against that house; yet
it did not fall, because it had its foundation on
the rock. But everyone who hears these words of
mine and does not put them into practice is like
a foolish man who built his house on sand. The
rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds
blew and beat against that house, and it fell
with a great crash."
Brother's and sister's what are
you building on? Jesus is the Rock of our
salvation. He is the Cornerstone. Everything we
are and ever will be is to be built on Him, or we
will fall and possibly die.
Are you looking to this drunken
spirit or are you looking to the Spirit of God?
Are you seeking the manifestations of flesh, or
the manifestations of the fruits of the Spirit?
The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace,
gentleness, goodness, patience, kindness,
faithfulness, and self-control. Do you see these
in this "Holy Ghost party"? Or do you
see the flesh manifested? Does this
"party" glorify God, or man? Has
"I" grown to become "Idol?"
Many people have placed themselves above God in
these teachings.
We are not to be commanding
God, but God commanding us. We are not to name it
and claim it! We are to pray as Jesus taught us,
"Thy will be done on earth as it is in
Heaven." Sometimes what we want is not what
God wants. It is not our place as the clay pot to
question the Potter, but to just say thy will be
done Master. NOT my will be done and you just go
along with me. God created YOU… you did NOT
create God. If you have God in the wrong order of
things in your life, you are looking at falling
and possibly dying spiritually.
We are already prosperous in
God. Maybe not physically as so many people want,
but in the spiritual as God desires. Are you
trying to serve two masters? Does money mean so
much to you? Notice when Jesus prayed it was
"give us today our daily bread" and not
"give me lots of money so I do not have to
worry about tomorrow." For if you do not
have enough then you struggle with that worry,
but if you have too much, then it controls your
life.
Look at the rich young ruler.
So Jesus prayed "give us today our daily
bread." So instead of praying as so many are
"more Lord" we should pray as Agur
prayed in Proverbs 30:7-9 "Two
things I ask of you, oh Lord; do not refuse me
before I die: Keep falsehood and lies far from
me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give
me only my daily bread. Otherwise I may have too
much and disown you and say 'who is the Lord' or
I may become poor and steal and so dishonor the
name of my God."
God loves a contrite (humble)
heart, for that is a usable heart to His glory.
Again I restate, when we truly accept Jesus as
Lord and Savior become a child of the most high
God, how much richer can you be?
Jesus came to save the world,
that none should perish, not that we should have
a party time. That party time is being saved for
when we all get to Heaven and are together for
eternity with God. The Holy Spirit's job in the
trinity is to comfort, and to draw people unto
God to God's glory. Not to make people so drunk
they cannot function normally. How does someone
being so drunk they cannot stand or talk or
anything but laugh and stagger, or even howl as
an animal glorify God? Does this speak well of
our God or does it make Him seem the fool, no
better than the drunks you see coming from bars,
or on television. Is this truly the kind of God
you desire in your life?
How long does that "Holy
Ghost high" last? The true peace and joy of
God lasts forever. In Nehemiah 8:10 it states
that the joy of the Lord is our strength. (These
people at that time stood for over 6 hours while
the Word of God was spoken. (I saw a
"minister" so taken with this
"holy laughter" that they could not
even speak the word of God.) When Ezra read the
word of God he stood on a raised platform, as the
word of God was so important to these people.
After he was done reading of the Word of God they
all bowed to the ground and worshipped God. These
people knew the joy of the Lord. When we get to
heaven that will be the joy of all God's children
to bow and worship at the throne of God our
Father.)
Sisters and brothers hear me,
for God is growing weary of the mockery, He is
weary of our seeking our ways. God's wrath is
growing each day. And as a father disciplines his
child, so God will and is going to discipline His
children. God's wrath is building, and will
strike first against His own church, for we are
to be perfected and pure before Him.
Seek discernment in all you
hear, and back it up with God's word personally,
not just trusting what someone else may tell you.
(Not even me.) We are supposed to be the example
to the world, not the world to us. Living in this
world but NOT of it. We are to be clean and ready
for the Bridegroom. We are to be pure and holy.
Jesus' cloak of righteousness wrapped around us
covering our own righteousness for ours is as
rags. Stand firm in Jesus. He is that Rock we are
to be building on.
Father God in His supreme love
sent His one and only Son to save this world. To
make a way for us sinners to come to Him. To make
a way of cleansing so we could enter into the
Holy of Hollis and stand before the throne of God
cleansed of all unrighteousness.
Jesus came and lived as one of
us. He knows the feelings we have, the joy, the
pain, the sadness, the rejoicing. He came and
suffered the humiliation of being betrayed by a
friend, mocked by family (His own brothers,) and
finally beaten and hung to die on the cross like
any old criminal by those He came to save.
Many do not know the suffering
He did for us. When they beat Him, it was not
just little scratches. The whip they used tore
into His body, into His muscles, into his ribs,
tearing His flesh to ribbons. Many men would have
(and had) died just from the beating. When He
hung upon that cross He took ALL the sins of this
world, yours and mine, upon Himself. He became so
filthy in our rags that God could not even look
upon Him.
Then with His death, He became
the last supreme sacrifice; He made the way for
us to be cleansed, through the blood of Jesus
Christ. No more would we have to offer up animals
in sacrifice, for Jesus was the most perfect
sacrifice there ever was. When He rose again on
that third morning, He conquered more than
physical death, but made it so we do not have to
die spiritually. The wages of sin is still death,
but the gift of God is eternal life. Then He was
taken up to Heaven and He sent us the Holy
Spirit. Jesus now sits at the right hand of God
the Father where He belongs.
The Holy Spirit came after
Jesus had risen to Heaven, not to replace Him,
but to strengthen His followers, and to comfort
them by reminding them of Jesus' words. The Holy
Spirit is only to glorify Jesus not Himself. The
Holy Spirit came upon those in the upper room,
but He did not make them laugh, or stagger around
uncontrollably, or throw them against walls, or
give them spasms, instead He gave them a new
language, and a new boldness. This was to the
glory of God and Jesus. For those that received
this new tongue spoke in the languages of those
around them spreading the gospel. (As with any
crowd there were the mockers, the ones who
accused those in the upper room of "having
too much wine.")
Finally, Peter, (the one that
had denied Jesus and even swore with an oath
declaring his not being a follower of Jesus,) now
spoke out with boldness declaring the gospel of
Jesus Christ. He was no longer ashamed, or
afraid. The Holy Spirit gave Him the confidence,
and the words to speak.
Yes, the Holy Spirit did
empower them, but you will notice it was NOT the
Holy Spirit's gospel they went around preaching.
They went preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.
It was NOT just the Holy Spirit they taught. It
was always first and foremost the redeeming
salvation of Jesus Christ. Jesus called the Holy
Spirit, "a new counselor, the Spirit of
Truth." (Nowhere do you find the Holy Spirit
exalting Himself, only Jesus.)
So brothers and sisters, I am
speaking this warning as God told me to do, in
accordance with His will. I pray that you take it
to heart and ask God to show you in it what you
are to learn, I know I did learn things.
Sincerely in the love of Jesus
Christ,
Peggy Day
