I awakened this morning, it was 3:33. The dream I awoke from was about the shaking that I believe is going to take place sooner rather than later. In it I encountered certain individuals who in their fear were asking me to pray for them. (If you’ve never done this before in the middle of an isle at Walmart or in front of a busy grocery store, then it’s hard to imagine.) Since I’ve done so and more in real life it wasn’t an unusual or alarming situation – even for a dream.
What made these terrified people approach me was their fear of what was happening across the globe. War had broken out and for the first time in a long time America was at risk. I’m not going to break down the series of events or prognostications about where and when war will break out according to scripture. But I will say this; Damascus is mentioned in the runup to all-out war – perhaps the war of Gog and Magog. Not to worry though, it won’t last long according to Daniel’s vision. Armageddon will last longer, but true believers won’t be around to seen either, they will be raptured out of here before it hits the fan.
In any case, the people in my dream were terrified. Grown men were crying and asking me what they should do. I was taking it all in stride in the dream since I knew what was happening and why. This was the Shaking, the shaking that God was going to use to wake people up and call them to repentance. This will usher in the final great revival before all hell breaks loose just before and during the time of Tribulation.
Was I one of these old men who were to have dreams in the book of Joel? This is the only correlation I can make with prophetic scripture.
As things heat up and war looms ever closer on the horizon, some may see this dream taking place on the streets of America. Many will see it as a time of horror.
I see it as a time of shaking and redemption, with people falling prostrate on the very ground in repentance. It’s about time.
Most of the Christian community is, living life as usual and doing nothing but grandstanding in the limelight of their supposed achievements. These go about plundering, taking other men’s wives and living a life of ease. But be sure, your sins will find you out – hypocrites. Your arrogance and deceitfulness know no bounds, and this while others are wallowing in their grievous sins or grasping at straws with nowhere to turn.
In the meantime, the church hasn’t done much to allay the fears of the people. “Laodicean” churches still insist on playing church and most church leaders in them haven’t been called to lead them to Christ but instead only consider church work a job with good benefits – but they talk a good game. They put on religious airs, cry on cue and expect respect from the congregants, but not all of us are fooled. Especially those of us who have studied scripture earnestly and set about making the kingdom of God their priority.
Talk is cheap (Jesus said so) and grandstanding is just as bad. I’ve seen and heard it all in over forty years of evangelism so, I say it to all such men, “get off your high horse and hit the dust in real repentance. Don’t do so with pretending to be crying, your self-serving acting is cheap and uncalled for in these times of trouble.” Having besmirched the Christian faith, people like you make me angry and I sometimes feel like calling you out – by name. But Jesus said to let the weeds grow up with the grain, lest you disturb the crop in doing so.
Since I feel called to write and verbalize what I believe to be true, I must do so with expediency since many people will need encouragement as they see their very lives slipping away without hope in these turbulent times.
On movies
I deliberated about commenting on movies and books since our priority should be getting our lives in order and making the best use of our time in these final hours. I will say this, however; the movie “I Can Only Imagine” was considered by most who saw it as a good testimony to unbelievers who would see justified hate turned to understanding and forgiveness.
On books
This Eric Metaxas guy is too pretty to be a scholarly writer and he even has a good sense of style. ( I like a guy like that.) But in his recent book “Miracles” he relates one story that I find unbelievable – one in which he seemingly extolls the money grubbing virtue of Benny Hinn, who anyone in their right mind would consider to be a charlatan.
Oh well, the rest was good reading, but with some testimonies you must take what is said with a grain of salt.
However, I will say this, that the God who created the heavens and earth and all that’s in it can and will use unlikely people to His own ends.
May God bless you and give you a peace that surpasses all understanding.
Until next time, if there is one.

Although my pastor, Dr. Hayes Wicker may not agree with all I’ve written, I nevertheless, believe in what he says from the pulpit – always referring to scripture with clarity and adroitness.
