You make a lot of high-falutin' claims for yourself, don't you? Brother, if you've got some new message, we'd love to hear it. If all you're going to do is brag about how great the church YOU are establishing.....well, that's already getting a little old. Bragadoccio does not a prophet make.

You're doing better than me Leonard. I'm still trying to figure out what he's trying to say.

Okay CFS, I buy that. But seems like he just dropped his MO and left. Whats up with that?

I've heard it said - and this was about 2 decades ago - that if God doesn't judge the United States, He's going to need to appologize to Sodom and Gommorah!

It doesn't take much to accept that judgement is coming.

The problem has been, and still is, specific claims regarding such.

I have learned to be sceptical of people who proclaim themselves as prophets (especially when the claim is that they are the fulfillment of Revelation prophecy!)

Why?

Because I have heard many, and so far every single one of them has been found to be full of hot air.

(Note: I said "found" - as in all their claims came to nought.)

Really, I used to run after any prophet pronouncing the judgement of God.

Boy, did that lead me to nowhere!

Sorry, but I need more than "claims".

Can you prove the existence of God? Can you prove that you have a relationship with Jesus Christ? Can you prove anything that you accept by faith? No, it is by faith that we believe in what we do not see. Does the Holy Spirit ever speak to you? I mean, do you read the word of God and you know by the Spirit within you that what you are reading is meant for you for that day, perhaps, not like any other day? The word of God is alive. It is "God-breathed." Many times I can read a passage of scripture and not get anything particularly from it, and then one day just when I need that particular verse it stands out to me like I have never had it stand out to me before. It is like God is speaking to me, right to me and he gives counsel and encouragement and sometimes correction, etc. Sometimes he speaks to me in dreams. And, recently I have experienced him speaking to me in visions - visions he gave me of what his word describes is coming in the future. And, he told me it is really close. How close I don't know. Can I prove it? No! I know the voice of the shepherd and I know when he is speaking to me and I know he is saying it is coming really soon. Can I prove it? No! It is something I accept by faith.

Do I expect you to believe it just because I say it? No! I would expect you to test everything you hear, which means to take it to the Lord and ask him. The voice of his Holy Spirit in your heart is the way you will know if what anyone speaks is from the Lord, unless it clearly contradicts scripture. Faith is not something we can see in black and white. Our relationship with Jesus Christ is not something we can show other than by our lives, and sometimes our lives are a poor reflection of Christ, which would then certainly cast doubt as to whether or not we truly believe. God speaking to us about anything in any given situation is not something we can display so that everyone can see it truly is God speaking. And, God doesn't always give us the whole picture at once, in fact, he usually doesn't. He wants us to trust him one day and one step at a time. Sometimes we don't get it all perfect, either. Hearing the voice of God is not an exact science. It is not like God speaks to men today like he did to the prophets in the Bible times. That is why we now have the word of God and we have the Holy Spirit in our hearts.

But, if all prophets had it all down perfect, well, then we wouldn't have so many different beliefs out there, would we? We hear from God and we interpret what we believe he is saying to us the best we can and then we act on the faith of what we believe he is saying and pray that if we are going in the wrong direction that he will close doors or that he will somehow lead us another direction. I do truly believe that God gives confirmations when we are headed on the right track, and he has confirmed that judgments are coming to the USA in the very near future through multiple sources, so many that they can not be disregarded.

When God first spoke to me about what was coming, I was not on a Christian website. I was not reading anything about End Times. I was not reading scriptures that I knew were about End Times. I was just having my daily quiet time with God. It was just him and me. Eventually I wanted to learn more and to see if anyone else was saying the same things, so by way of another website I found Worthy Boards and was surprised to learn that God is speaking to many people in the same way. I have read other people's writings separate from this website, too, that I have received from various sources, some unsolicited, and was again surprised how very similar what God was telling them was to what God is telling me.

You can choose to just write it off, and that is your right. I don't know the author of this post or anything about him, so I am not defending him in any way. I am speaking purely for myself here. Don't write me off just because you don't understand me or because it does not make logical sense to you or because your mind tells you that this is just another one of those wackos with a doomsday message. I must tell you here that I am not a wacko. I am a quite sensible, logical, practical person. I have to admit that I would have a difficult time believing me if I wasn't the person who heard from God on this. But, I would check it out with God. I mean I would take time before God and ask him to speak to me about this and then I would read his word wherever I left off last in my devotions and I would do this until he spoke to me. If he tells you I'm wacko because I believe there is a judgment coming soon or because I can not give you a date and time, then I guess that's your answer.

I have absolutely no idea! I just read this post, it kinda made sense, some of it sounded familiar, but different, and I just thought I would give a shot at trying to understand what he was trying to say. Whether he is the real deal or not I don't know. I would have to read more of what he says and take it to the Lord. This particular post made sense to me. I read one other he put on here and it did not make sense to me. And, I don't even know if I understood correctly what he was trying to say. So, I'm not making any judgments one way or another.

Ok. He's got a web site link somewhere around here and to me it looked like a second income kind of thing. I have been known to be wrong before though. I'm very skeptical about new "messages" unless the guy is wearing sackcloth and preaching nothing but the word.
