when its over its over

but who knows if He will yet have mercy

Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave a blessing behind Him—grain and drink offerings for the LORD your God. Joel 2:14

I am no prophet but I do not have a sense of impending doom and fear is not of God so I don't really like all the look at this and look at that

I do however have a sense of observing (if that makes sense) like God is saying 'watch' but with understanding

hard to explain really...:unsure:

I am the same way I observe everything I love to learn from anything I can and the reason we are to pay attention to the signs and like you said with understanding is because those who don't are like conspiracy theorists who become consumed by it and then see it everywhere

The three wisemen were the only ones to recognize the birth of Jesus because they knew and understood the sign of his coming.

true. there is so much fear out there. I don't think the op is trying to cause fear; I think he is very concerned and we are in very concerning times but we know things go downhill in this world

Yes I am a TULIP.........all 5 points of it. :giggle:
Click to expand...
I think that is fantastic I adore nature and much can be learned from it. They speak of God's glory and beauty with voices that are unheard. In fact I speak of tulips in the analogy God placed in my heart by my love of nature and observing the flowers on my walks. What I love about flowers is that though they have short lives they shine their beauty to the best of their abilities and a tulip doesn't compare itself to the rose because the tulip has it's own kind of beauty.
And for a flower to prosper it must be in good healthy soil and recieve plenty of water and sunlight

The lesson is we often times compare ourselves to others but we have our own beauty that God created and sees as perfect and we need good soil which is Christ the rock upon which we stand we need plenty of water time and communion with God and flowers need sunlight for food The word of God

Yes pottersclay is not trying to induce fear rather becoming aware God told us the signs of the times to pay attention to if we don't with understanding we won't be like the wisemen who knew of Jesus birth

"Let us be reminded, each individual of a sound mind, shall be free to arrive
at their own conclusion, whatever that may be. A great falling away from God
has been told of...and, is this not precisely being witnessed...far and wide.
I have shared many words on many pages, and I stand by the profound 'inspiration'
of the Holy Spirit coming upon this life before you...Praise God!"

I think it is a time to be close to the Lord, I believe we will go to very difficult time, pandemic couse lot of people lost their job, that's mean crime will increase.
I expect more riot happen every where, riot happen when people hungry.
It is time to focus on the thing above, not on earthly wealth.

Yes more than ever we need to be close to the Lord I have had a sense of heavy judgement and a massive terrifying storm coming to the world a sense of warning not fear but heavy warning.

But we who are his have nothing to fear.

Please share what the Holy Spirit has shown you about the days we are living in now.

To be honest with all the saints here the past month has really been intense for me spiritually.
Watching the news of current events, listening to many teachings, praying often, and feeling excited but full of anxiety
Has wore me out . I find myself wanting to be alone with God with no interruptions. I very seldom answer my phone or even turn it on.
With the news I heard today about president trump and the peace treaty he negotiated for Israel is not only a huge victory but in fact was not political but was made out of biblical history and principal only confirmed my feelings.

I believe we have entered the time of sorrows.
I believe the Holy Spirit has also shown me that the sudden increase in catastrophic events will try to be explained away by climate change. Which I think is a joke.
I believe that the spirit of anti-christ is starting to raise its head now to take shape as the senseless violence not only here in the states but throughout canada and europe as well.
I believe it has disguise its self under a political objective but will remain and get worse even after the election no matter who wins.
I don't believe covid-19 will ever go away but will be replaced with something much worse. Even if a vaccine is found.
In short I feel a great disturbance in the spiritual but a great peace in my soul.

Can anyone relate? What have you been shown?

I believe things will appear to get better. The exposure of the First Beast system has commenced, and more and more people will start seeing it for the evil system that it is/was. However, its replacement will be more of the same - a False Prophet system, that while seeming to serve justice on the criminals from the first system, will not accept that Jesus is the only Saviour. And as Trump, the military, and key people in the US outed the First Beast system, unbelievers will be all too willing to accept these - or themselves - as saviours. Then the Mark of the Beast will come.

I linked below a video that I found made a lot of sense. I post below in case you have a spare 20 minutes.

Interesting video.

Let it be known now that I am not endorsing trump. I have listened to both sides when it comes to debates. I will say trump is the lesser of 2 evils at least for now but as scripture tells us not to lay hands suddenly on any man.
I do endorse the king of kings and the Lord of Lords and for that purpose I have posted this post.
It maybe to much media consumption for me that troubles my spirit but I have had these thoughts and feelings for quite a while. Even before this covid-19 out break. And this social justice March.

You are probably right in most of the cases you have listed. it is not too difficult to draw those sorts of conclusions. Time will tell how much of it is right or wrong. The important thing is that our lamps are trimmed full of oil and ready to go.

One thing you have not mentioned which is my main concern is the church that is a shambles and nothing like the church should be. I have been reading the history of the New Testament Church (NTC) and have discovered what it means to go into all the world and make disciples.

The denominations today are going into all the churches and making pew warmers. There is no doubt that except for a few examples it is asleep at the wheel. So what that means is there is going to be a sorting out getting rid of the false and keeping the true.

Oh I so agree. But we are the church I am as guilty as the rest. Lord forgive us for our slackness .
I feel so convicted as the time appears short. I have failed in my duties as a believer, a watchmen, , a living testament of his life changing word.
I have slept while the thief has struck. Shame on me. I could of done more, should of done more.
The lazy sluggard that I am. Shame on me.
No more luke warmness, no more prayerless days. I intend to rise to the occasion. I will not bring shame to my Lord.
