All of it was happening beneath the surface — the wind, the earthquake, the fire, the whisper — weaving together a story I didn’t yet know I was living… before I ever wrote anything down… before I understood patterns… before I knew God was preparing me for anything at all… there was simply an awakening. It didn’t happen all at once. It came in pieces — moments I didn’t recognize at the time, but that I can see clearly now.

In August of 2018, a severe storm swept through our area in Massachusetts. That storm marked the beginning of something shifting inside me, long before I had language for it. Read more about how it all started here.

And then came the fires — the devastating Paradise, California fire in late 2018. I remember the weight of it, the sorrow of it. I didn’t yet see how these events were forming a pattern, but they were part of the same stirring. Read more about it in "LOCUST."

In 2019, the Holy Spirit said, "The Demons are Out." It wasn't until a year later that I understood what it meant and wrote about it. It was another moment I carried quietly, without understanding. Read more about it in "The Demons are Out."

Wind. Fire. Earthquake.

And after all of that… came something quieter. Something gentler. Something that reached me in a way the storms never could: A still small voice. 1 Kings 19:11-13. That was the moment everything changed — the moment God awakened me fully. I didn’t know what He would say next. I didn’t know what it would mean for my life. I only knew that He had my attention.



This is where my story begins.

I never expected to be anything. I didn’t ask for a title. But once I began praying in tongues, only God knows what was being prayed for.

1 Corinthians 14:2 "For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries."

What I do know is at that time Holy Spirit began to move in ways I couldn’t ignore. Sometimes quietly, sometimes loudly, and often with visions and words that pressed on my heart until they were written down.

Around 2020, the Holy Spirit made one thing clear: you are a“revealer.” It wasn’t explained. It wasn’t dramatic. It was simply given. I had never heard of a gift of the Spirit called "revealer." I researched the gifts again and could not find any gift called "revealer." I told my husband about the word, tucked it away and didn’t pursue it.

That same year, in December 2020, I felt led to write a Facebook post about Roe v. Wade being overturned. I didn’t understand it. I didn’t have a timeline. I only knew I was supposed to write it and leave it alone. So I did.

Then, sometime in 2022, our fairly new — and first in 20 years of marriage — pastor preached a message on gifts. In the middle of that sermon, he used the word “revealer.” Hearing that word spoken publicly after the Holy Spirit had already whispered it to me privately stopped me in my tracks. “Flabbergasted” is the right word. It was like God quietly underlined what He had already said.

Later that same year, in 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The post I had written back in December 2020 suddenly had context. I hadn’t understood it when I wrote it — I just obeyed. The meaning unfolded in God’s timing, not mine.

That’s when the word “revealer” began to make sense. Not as a title I claimed, but as a description of what had been happening all along. The Holy Spirit reveals: Sometimes it’s a whisper, sometimes a vision, sometimes a word that won’t leave until it’s written. The understanding comes later.

A calling isn’t about status or office. It isn’t about being seen or being right. It’s about being obedient. It’s about listening. It’s about trusting that God knows what He’s doing, even when you don’t. All glory to God always!

This testimony is given as encouragement for the Body of Christ: God still speaks. He still reveals. And He still uses ordinary people in quiet, unexpected ways to bring His purposes to light.

May He guide your steps and light your path.

For millennia, believers have wrestled with the question: When will the rapture occur? Pre‑trib, mid‑trib, post‑trib—each view has its claims of Scriptural grounding, its arguments, and its defenders. Yet Scripture’s deepest call is not to speculation, but to faithfulness. Whether Christ comes before, during, or after the tribulation, the command is the same: be ready, be steadfast, be found so doing.

Revelation 3:10 — The Promise of Being Kept

“Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.”

This verse is often cited as evidence for a pre‑tribulation rapture. But beyond debates, its heart is clear: those who keep the word of Christ’s patience will be kept. Patience here means endurance—steadfast loyalty under trial. It is not passive waiting, but active obedience. The promise is not for the careless or lukewarm, but for those who remain faithful. "If you love me, keep my commandments." John 14:15

Meat in Due Season — Faith That Matures

“Who then is a faithful and wise servant… to give them meat in due season?” (Matthew 24:45–46)

The faithful servant does not simply avoid sin. He feeds others. He gives “meat”—the deeper truths of God’s Word—at the exact time they are needed. This is meat faith: maturity, discernment, wisdom.

• Hebrews 5:14 – “Strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age… discerning both good and evil.”

• James 1:22 – “Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only.”

Meat faith is what sustains them, and God's poor in Spirit, milk-level believers, through the tribulation. It is the seal of maturity, the mark of discernment, the strength to resist deception and endure trials. It is God’s provision “in due season” for His household.

Discernment and maturity are fruits of salvation through Christ Jesus, not the cause of it. Those who grow from milk to meat (Hebrews 5:14) show evidence of the Spirit’s work in them, but it is Christ alone who saves.

Those with discernment do not endure alone. They are called to feed others in due season—to strengthen those who are still babes in Christ:

• Hebrews 5:12 – “Ye have need that one teach you again… for every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness.”

• 1 Corinthians 3:2 – “I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it.”

The faithful and wise servant sustains the household, giving meat to those who are ready, and patiently guiding those still on milk. In tribulation, this ministry of nourishment becomes vital: the mature, discerning and faithful uphold the weak, protect the vulnerable, and strengthen the wavering.

The Light in the Darkness

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.” (Matthew 5:14)

Why would God remove the light of the world before its darkest hour?

• The church is called to shine in the world’s darkness.

• Tribulation is the world’s darkest night, full of deception and trials.

• Removing the church before that moment would leave the world without living witnesses of truth.

Instead, Scripture shows the faithful shining in tribulation:

• Daniel 12:3 – “They that be wise shall shine… and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars.”

• Revelation 7:14 – “These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes.”

The light shines brightest when the night is darkest. God’s people are present, sealed, and faithful, bearing witness until Christ returns.

Whether or not, however, you believe the rapture will be pre‑trib, mid‑trib, or post‑trib, the promise is the same:

• Those who keep His word of patience will be kept from the hour of temptation, one way or another.

• Those filled with meat-level discernment, who feed others with meat in due season, helping sustain those still on milk, will be blessed.

The faithful servant is not idle. He is found so doing when the Master comes—serving, obeying, feeding, enduring. The timing of the rapture matters less than the posture of readiness. Jesus wants us to live today as if the rapture is today. The debate over timing will continue, but the heart of Scripture is clear: faithfulness, maturity, endurance, and service. The Lord is coming and blessed is the servant whom He finds so doing.

The faithful and wise servant will be kept from the hour of temptation: Whether it means they will be "kept" by having their eyes wide open and discerning good and evil, to sustain them and others through the tribulation, or they will be whisked away so they do not have to endure it, is irrelevant. Because whether pre‑trib, mid‑trib, or post‑trib, the promise is sure. So, grow into discernment. Keep the word of His patience. Feed others with meat in due season. Sustain those who are still on milk. And live each day as if the trumpet could sound at any moment.

That being said, the scriptural evidence is clear and abundant for a post-tribulation gathering. After all, we are the light of the world:

Why would God remove the light before the End? If there is any hope for unbelievers, or for the wavering to return to Him, we must shine our light in the darkest hour.

The scriptural proof for a post-tribulation gathering:

⏳ Daniel: The Foundation

• Daniel 7:21–22 – “I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints…”
• → The saints endure tribulation until God intervenes.

• Daniel 12:1 – “And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was… and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.”
• → Deliverance comes after great tribulation, for those written in the book of life.

🌑 Jesus’s Teaching

• Matthew 13:30 – “Gather ye together first the tares… but gather the wheat into my barn.”

• At harvest (the end), the wicked are removed first, then the righteous gathered.

• Matthew 24:29–31 – “Immediately after the tribulation… they shall see the Son of man coming… and he shall send his angels… and they shall gather together his elect.”

• The gathering of believers happens after the tribulation, at Christ’s return.

✨ Marking and Sealing

• Ezekiel 9:4 – “Set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations…”

• → God marks His faithful before judgment.

• Revelation 7:3 – “Hurt not the earth… till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.”

• → Believers are sealed for protection during tribulation.

🔥 Revelation’s Judgment

• Revelation 13:8 – “All that dwell upon the earth shall worship him [the beast], whose names are not written in the book of life…”

• → Choices during tribulation reveal who belongs to Christ.

• Revelation 20:12, 15 – “…the dead were judged… whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

• → Final judgment separates the faithful from the condemned.

• Revelation 21:27 – “…but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

• → Only those marked and faithful enter the New Jerusalem.

The scripture shows a consistent theme: tribulation first, then Christ’s return, then separation of tares and wheat, with believers marked and preserved.

Again, Faithful and Wise Servant, give them meat in due season. Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

May He open eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts and minds to understand. Amen.

"That was the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." John 1:9

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the waters. (Genesis 1:1-2, KJV)

These words launch the sacred narrative, revealing God's eternal act in perfect harmony—one God eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: the Father decreeing, the Spirit hovering in life-giving power, and the Word (the Son) executing light into being. "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light" (Genesis 1:3). This divine utterance pierces chaos, symbolizing order, holiness, and life. The Word is no created being but God Himself, co-eternal and co-equal with the Father and Spirit, sharing one divine essence in perfect unity—distinct Persons, inseparable in nature, will, and work. As we shall see, Jesus—the Word made flesh—cannot be created, for He is the One by whom all things were made. "All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made" (John 1:3). This truth echoes through the apostles' writings, culminating in Revelation's eternal light, where God and the Lamb illuminate forever.

In this blog, we will trace Scripture's golden thread: from primordial light to apostolic affirmations in John and Colossians, bolstered by the three who bear witness to Christ's deity. We will affirm His eternal nature—self-existent and divine—countering any notion of origination. For only the eternal can precede and sustain creation, as "He is before all things, and by him all things consist" (reside in) (Colossians 1:17). May this journey stir in you a glorious worship to the one true God: "O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all" (Psalm 104:24).

In the opening verses of Genesis, we behold a formless void shrouded in darkness, yet the Spirit of God moves upon the waters with gentle, omnipotent purpose—preparing the canvas for divine artistry and infusing it with the breath of life. This "moving" or hovering of the Spirit is a beautiful picture of God's caring presence. Then God said, "Let there be light," and light burst forth through the Word (Jesus Christ), not merely physical illumination but a profound symbol of God's holiness dispelling shadows, deception, and chaos. This light foreshadows the ultimate redemption, where "the people that walked in darkness have seen a great light" (Isaiah 9:2), pointing directly to Christ.

The psalmist bridges this creation moment to the New Testament revelation: "By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth" (Psalm 33:6), harmonizing the Father's decree, the Word's execution, and the Spirit's breath as one God in action. John's Gospel unveils the mystery further: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God" (John 1:1-2). Here, the Logos—God's divine reason and expression—is not a later creation but eternally existent, distinct in person yet one in essence with the Father. Amid debates over exact phrasing, the core truth shines: This Word is Jesus incarnate (John 1:14), declaring His timeless deity when He says, "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58), echoing God's eternal name in Exodus 3:14. The prophet Micah affirms the Messiah's origins: "whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting" (Micah 5:2). In this Word dwells life itself, and that life is the light of men, radiating undimmed into the darkness (John 1:4-5)—Jesus, the eternal Word of God, through whom the Father created all things and brought everything into existence: "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made" (John 1:3). He did not create Himself; He is God's Word, the uncreated Creator who holds all in being.

Yet, so much debate and argument have swirled around the precise wording of John 1:1—"the Word was God" versus alternative renderings like "was a god"—often missing the forest for the trees in theological battles that have divided believers for centuries. God does not command us to win debates but to believe in His Son for eternal life (John 3:16: "Whosoever believeth in him should not perish"), and to spread this gospel to every creature. These ongoing debates deflect from the verse's heart and the verses that follow:

John 1

3 "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men."

Jesus is God's Word; God speaks, and the Word executes. "Let there be light."

Central to this revelation is the irrefutable truth that Jesus cannot be created precisely because He is the Creator—a logical and scriptural absolute that places Him outside the realm of contingent beings. If He originated everything, He cannot originate from anything Himself, for creators inherently precede and transcend their works; self-creation is an impossibility, as "every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God" (Hebrews 3:4). John's proclamation drives this home: "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made" (John 1:3). The emphatic double negative leaves no loophole—every star, soul, speck and atom owes its existence to Him, echoing the creative command in Genesis and excluding any possibility of His own making.

This eternal status unfolds richly across Scripture. His pre-existence shines in John 1:1-2, where the Word simply "was" in the beginning, not "became" at a point in time, and in John 17:5, where He shares glory with the Father "before the world was," including His role as redeeming Lamb foreordained before the foundation (1 Peter 1:20: "Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you"). The child born in Bethlehem is called "The everlasting Father, The mighty God" (Isaiah 9:6), titles reserved for the eternal Yahweh. He forms all things directly, as in Colossians 1:16-17 ("by him were all things created... he is before all things"), Hebrews 1:2-3 (God made the worlds "by whom," upholding them by His power), and 1 Corinthians 8:6 ("by whom are all things"). His divine attributes include self-existent life, shared eternally with the Father: "the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself" (John 5-26)—not borrowed or started, but inherent like the Father's own endless existence. He is equal with God, "being in the form of God" without claiming something extra (Philippians 2:6), and holds "all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" (Colossians 2:9).

He stands distinguished from all creatures: Angels worship Him rather than rival Him (Hebrews 1:5-6), and His Melchizedek-like priesthood knows "neither beginning of days, nor end of life" (Hebrews 7:3). Even Revelation 3:14's "beginning of the creation" means source or ruler (arche), as in Proverbs 8:22-23 where Wisdom (Christ) is "from everlasting." Explicit denials abound: "Before me there was no God formed" (Isaiah 43:10), and as the "only begotten Son" He declares the unseen God (John 1:18). Potential misreadings, like "firstborn" in Colossians 1:15, denote preeminence—not origination—as with David made "firstborn" as highest king (Psalm 89:27). Only the eternal can precede creation because contingent things (everything that depends on something else to exist, like all created matter and beings) require a cause and a starting point; God alone is independent, giving life without needing any (Acts 17:24-25). Jesus embodies this: "I am Alpha and Omega... the Almighty" (Revelation 1:8, 17-18), the eternal One who sustains all without beginning or end.

The Apostle Paul's praises to God in Colossians harmonize perfectly with John 1:1-2, exalting the eternal Son amid false teachings that would diminish Him to a mere emissary or angel. "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist" (Colossians 1:15-18). Here, "firstborn" (prototokos) signifies preeminence and heirship, not creation—as God promised David, "I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth" (Psalm 89:27)—for the verses immediately affirm He creates those very realms, standing before and sustaining them.

The parallels with John reveal profound oneness: John's comprehensive "all things" expands in Colossians to include heavenly hierarchies and invisible powers (like angels and spiritual authorities), refuting any intermediary creators and asserting Christ's absolute dominion, as everything in the universe—seen or unseen—is made through Him alone. The agency is identical—"by him" as the instrumental cause, mirroring the Word through which God spoke in Genesis and Psalm 33:6. Yet Colossians adds depth: Creation is not only "by" Him but "for" Him, orienting all existence toward His glory, as He shared pre-world splendor with the Father (John 17:5). This sustenance—"by him all things consist"—portrays Him as the divine glue holding atoms and angels together, echoing Hebrews 1:3's "upholding all things by the word of his power." The fullness of deity dwells in Him (Colossians 1:19; 2:9), making separation impossible: If God creates alone yet through the Son (Isaiah 44:24), they are one essence, mutually indwelling (John 14:10: "I am in the Father, and the Father in me"). This unity counters heresies, affirming the Son's eternal role in planning (Father), executing (Son), and quickening (Spirit implied, as "the Spirit quickeneth" in John 6:63).

The passage in 1 John 5:7-8 (KJV) beautifully complements the themes of divine unity and historical testimony, emphasizing how God's eternal truth is confirmed in time through Jesus's life and work. Even focusing on the earthly witnesses that appear in all manuscripts—the Spirit, the water, and the blood, these three agree in one—these elements provide strong evidence against early false teachings that tried to separate Jesus's divine and human natures (such as ideas that the spiritual "Christ" only temporarily descended on the man Jesus at baptism and left before the cross). Instead, they affirm the eternal Creator's full incarnation from start to finish: Jesus came "by water and blood" (1 John 5:6), not by water only. The Spirit, who testifies because "the Spirit is truth," is the Holy Spirit who hovered in creation and continues to bear witness in believers' hearts (Romans 8:16) and through events like the baptism. The water recalls that baptism where the Father's voice declared "This is my beloved Son" (Matthew 3:17), marking the beginning of His public ministry. The blood points to the crucifixion, where water and blood flowed from His side (John 19:34), symbolizing complete atonement and proving His real, physical death for sins (Hebrews 9:12). These historical markers unite to show Jesus as the eternal "way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6), with direct affirmations like Thomas's cry, "My Lord and my God" (John 20:28), and the Father's address about Jesus: "Thy throne, O God, is for ever" (Hebrews 1:8).

The declaration "God is light, and in him is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5) finds perfect resonance in the Word as "the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world" (John 1:9)—a oneness of essence where the Father's purity radiates through the Son. Jesus affirms, "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9), making His light the visible expression of the invisible God. This shared radiance first ordered creation's dawn by separating light from darkness (Genesis 1:3-4), establishing moral and spiritual order from the void. In redemption, it exposes sin by revealing truth and convicting hearts, as Jesus declares, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life" (John 8:12), drawing sinners to repentance and freedom (John 3:19-21). Eternally, it overcomes all darkness without fail or fluctuation, for God is the "Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning" (James 1:17)—unchanging in His gifts of wisdom and salvation, ensuring victory over evil and the promise of a shadowless future (Revelation 21:25).

What dawns in Genesis's spoken light reaches eternal fulfillment in Revelation, where the holy city needs no sun or moon, "for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof" (Revelation 21:23; see also 22:5). Here, the eternal Word—once active in creation's beginning—tabernacles forever as the Lamb slain yet victorious, sharing the throne with the Father (Revelation 22:1). As Alpha and Omega, the Almighty who was dead and lives (Revelation 1:8, 17-18), He receives worship alongside the Ancient of Days, their oneness sealing history's arc. In this radiant kingdom, night vanishes, and the redeemed walk in His light, heirs of the eternal Creator who holds all together from everlasting to everlasting.

As many as receive Him become children of God (John 1:12), transformed by the One who made and sustains us. In a world where good is seen as evil, and evil as good, let the light of Jesus illuminate your path and guide you to His living water. Worship the Lamb who is worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing (Revelation 5:12)—for in the beginning, through the middle of time, and to the endless ages, He is the great I AM, the unchanging God who became flesh and was crucified to pay for our sins. May your life reflect His Glory, walking as children of light until we see Him face to face. Amen.

There is a truth that anchors like an unbreakable chain: once truly saved, always saved. It is the doctrine of eternal life, a divine promise whispered across the pages of Scripture, echoing God's unchanging heart. Yet, in the clamor of casual confessions and bumper-sticker theology, this pearl of grace often gets dragged through the mud. Too many voices spout "Once Saved, Always Saved" (OSAS) as if it is a spiritual hall pass, a wink at willful sin that says, "Go ahead, indulge—God's got the eraser." But oh, beloved reader, that is not the gospel's song. It is a tragic misunderstanding that cheapens the cross and mocks the resurrection. The Bible does not peddle eternal life as a sinner's loophole; it wields it as a sacred fire, igniting holy living in the redeemed soul.

Let us pause here, in reverence, and let the Word unfold this mystery. For in its light, we see not a doctrine to debate, but a reality to live—a transformation that turns "I believe" into "I become."

Picture a Father's hand, calloused from crafting galaxies yet tender as a lullaby, clasping yours in the storm. That is the essence of eternal life: not our fleeting hold on Him, but His eternal embrace of us. Jesus Himself declares it with the weight of eternity in John 10:28-29: "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand." Here, salvation is not a probationary lease—it's an irrevocable deed, signed in the blood of the Lamb.

Paul, that storm-tossed apostle, chimes in with a chorus of cosmic defiance in Romans 8:38-39: "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." No force—seen or unseen, felt or feared—can pry us loose. And why? Because salvation is God's present, permanent possession from the first whisper of faith. As the Savior promises in John 5:24, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." We have not just glimpsed the shore; we have landed there, the Holy Spirit our down payment on glory (Ephesians 1:13-14), a seal that whispers, "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory."

This isn't presumption; it is the quiet confidence of Philippians 1:6: "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." God's gifts and His call are irrevocable (Romans 11:29). He doesn't dangle hope only to yank it away. Eternal security, then, is rooted in His faithfulness, not our faltering steps. It is the freedom to exhale, knowing the One who knit us in the womb will not abandon us in the wilderness.

But here is where the misunderstanding unravels like a poorly knit sweater: true salvation does not leave us lounging in the shallows. It surges through us like a river of living water, reshaping desires and redirecting feet. "If ye love me, keep my commandments," Jesus says in John 14:15—not as a burdensome yoke, but as the natural pulse of a heart made alive. Genuine belief is not a head-nod in a crowded room; it is a root that drinks deeply, sprouting love that acts. As the Spirit stirs within, obedience flows unbidden, involuntary, like breath to the lungs. You don't think to love your neighbor; you just do, because the Spirit of God has taken hold. The Kingdom of God is literally inside you: "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." Luke 17:21. The phrase "the kingdom of God is within you" signifies that the presence and reign of God is already present in the hearts of believers. This means that the kingdom of God is not just a future hope but a transformative reality that exists within each person. It emphasizes that God's kingdom is not confined to a physical location but is in the midst of us, influencing our thoughts, actions, and relationships with others. This concept is aided by Holy Spirit inside a believer, allowing the kingdom to manifest in their lives.

Consider the Parable of the Pounds in Luke 19:11-27, that vivid imagery of stewardship Jesus weaves for expectant crowds. A nobleman entrusts his servants with silver—not to burden them, but to invite them into his ventures. The faithful do not sweat and strain; they invest, multiply, and return with abundance, their master's joy is their reward. The slothful one? He buries his pound in fear, clutching excuses like a shield. "Saying you believe is not enough," the parable thunders. Words without works are chaff in the wind: "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." James 2:17. Yet those works? They are not the root of salvation—they are its radiant fruit, evidence of the Vine's life pulsing through the branch (John 15:5). "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing," Jesus reminds us, but with Him? Fruit burgeons without fanfare, a quiet testimony to grace at work.

This is the Holy Spirit's artistry: Galatians 5:22-23 unfurls the harvest—"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." These aren't virtues we manufacture in gritted-teeth resolve; they are the overflow of new birth, crowding out sin's stubborn weeds. As John writes with pastoral fire in 1 John 3:6-9, "Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." The "seed" is the Spirit Himself, germinating righteousness that makes habitual rebellion not just undesirable, but impossible for the truly redeemed.

Ah, but the tragedy lies in how this doctrine gets hijacked. "Once saved, always saved" becomes a mantra for the half-hearted, a sly justification for willful sin: "God forgives it all, so why fight?" It is as if grace were a fire insurance policy, letting you torch the house and stroll away unscathed. Beloved, the Scriptures roar against such folly.

Paul, ever the surgeon of souls, slices through the lie in Romans 6:1-2: "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" We've been buried with Christ in baptism, raised to newness of life (Romans 6:4)—"Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life"—sin's empire lies in ruins, its scepter shattered. To rebuild it brick by brick is to deny the resurrection's power.

And Hebrews 10:26-27 lands like a thunderclap: "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries." This is not a whip for the weary saint; it is a spotlight on the impostor, the one who tastes truth but never swallows it whole (Hebrews 6:4-6). Those who spout OSAS while wallowing in unrepentant mud are not secured—they are self-deceived, mirrors fogged by illusion. "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." James 1:22. True eternal life does not breed complacency; it kindles vigilance, a holy hunger to run hard after the Lover of our souls, Jesus Christ.

In the end, eternal life is not a static creed etched in stone; it is a living flame, flickering in the chest of every child of God. It liberates from fear's chains, freeing us to love boldly, obey joyfully, and bear fruit abundantly—not to earn our standing, but because we have entered it. The unfaithful servant in Luke's parable did not forfeit a prize he never pursued; he exposed a faith that was fiction. But you, dear reader—held in hands scarred for your sake— you are invited to the Master's table, pounds in hand, heart aflame.

To become a true believer is to surrender all to the Savior who gave all for you. Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, and thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9). Repent, as Peter thundered at Pentecost, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38). It is no mere ritual, but a dying to self and rising in Him—whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). Cry out for the fire of the Holy Spirit, that baptism of flame John foretold: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire (Luke 3:16). Be filled with the Spirit and watch as zeal ignites your service—preaching the gospel, tending the broken, stewarding the pounds with hands now steady in His. This is no fleeting spark, but an eternal blaze that empowers you to serve Jesus not in your strength, but His, turning ordinary days into offerings of glory to God.

Let this truth settle like dew on parched ground: God's got you, not because you are good, but because He is God. And in that grip, sin withers, love flourishes, and eternity dawns. What if today, you laid down the excuses and stepped into the river? What fruit might the Spirit coax from your surrender?

Until next time, may the peace of Christ guard your heart, and His joy be your strength. Amen.

In God’s sacred Word, the Holy Bible, dreams and divine signs serve as beacons, guiding us toward repentance, God's judgment, mercy, and promise of restoration. This blog explores a deeply personal Spiritual journey—My husband’s mental health struggles, a recurring numerical sign, and a divine dream directing me to Daniel 9:11, as well as my continued prayers for patience. Our journey begins in 2019, with my husband’s dream of Nebuchadnezzar as a “beast in the field” Daniel 4:25-33, his repeated sightings of 9:11 on clocks over the past six years, and the events of his arrest on 9/10, release on 9/11, and hospitalization on 9/12/25. In these signs, we see a modern reflection of biblical themes of conviction, judgment, grace, and hope for redemption, especially as the seventh year of his mental health struggles approaches in 2026. Grounded in Scripture, this reflection invites us to trust God’s merciful plan amid life’s trials.

In 2019, my husband dreamed of Nebuchadnezzar as a “beast in the field,” a vivid image from Daniel 4:25–33: “They shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field… until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men.” In this account, Nebuchadnezzar’s pride led to a seven-year humbling, living as a beast until he acknowledged God’s sovereignty and was restored: “I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever” (Daniel 4:34). My husband’s dream was followed by a moment of conviction after a phone conversation with his brother in 2019, when he subsequently looked in a mirror and saw himself as a “beast,” a stark recognition of his own sinfulness.

This dream marked the beginning of his battle with PTSD and mental health challenges, leading to his first hospitalization soon after. Like Nebuchadnezzar’s seven-year trial, this moment initiated a season of spiritual refining, aligning with the biblical truth that God uses affliction to draw us closer: “That the trial of your faith… might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 1:7). As 2026 nears, the seventh year since 2019, the parallel to Nebuchadnezzar’s restoration offers hope for divine completion, a theme signified by the number seven in Scripture: "And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all work which God created and made." Genesis 2:2-3

Since that 2019 Nebuchadnezzar dream, my husband has repeatedly noticed the time of 9:11 on clocks, a recurring sign that feels divinely orchestrated. My own dream, received only recently, directed me to Daniel 9:11, amplifying its significance. Daniel 9:11 reads:

“Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.”

In Daniel 9:11, the prophet confesses Israel’s disobedience, acknowledging that their transgression brought the “curse” and “oath” of judgment foretold in the Law of Moses (Deuteronomy 28:15–68), such as exile and suffering. Yet, this verse is nestled within Daniel’s fervent prayer for mercy: “O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do” (Daniel 9:19). My dream pointing me to Daniel 9:11, and my husband’s 9:11 clock sightings point to a divine call for him to recognize sin, seek repentance, and trust in God’s mercy, mirroring Daniel’s intercession. The verse speaks of consequences but also opens the door to restoration, as God’s judgments are often redemptive: “For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth” (Hebrews 12:6).

My husband’s recent experiences align strikingly with Daniel 9:10–12, with each verse corresponding to a specific day in his journey, reflecting the progression from disobedience to consequences to divine restoration, centered on the call of Daniel 9:11.

Daniel 9:10 and My Husband's Arrest on 9/10: “Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.” On September 10, 2025, my husband was arrested after an altercation with a police officer. This event aligns with Daniel 9:10’s focus on disobedience, as his actions—whether influenced by illness or personal failing—strayed from God’s standards of peace and self-control: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23). The numerical match (9:10 with 9/10) reflects a moment of conviction, echoing his 2019 recognition of his sins, calling him to return to God’s path.

Daniel 9:11 and My Husband's Release from Jail on 9/11: “Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.” On September 11, 2025, my husband was released from jail on his own recognizance, a moment of grace that directly aligns with Daniel 9:11's repentance ("because we have sinned against him."). The numerical alignment (9:11 with 9/11), reinforced by my dream of Daniel 9:11, and his 9:11 clock sightings, marks this release as a divine reprieve, reflecting the mercy Daniel seeks within the context of acknowledging sin and its consequences. The “curse” of the arrest gives way to an opportunity for repentance: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins” (1 John 1:9).

Daniel 9:12 and the Hospitalization on 9/12: “And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: . . .” On September 12, 2025, my husband was hospitalized, his fifth admission since 2019. This event aligns with Daniel 9:12’s confirmation of God’s judgment through a “great evil” (calamity), such as the consequences of his ongoing struggles. The “judges that judged us” connects to the police officer’s role in the arrest, while the hospitalization reflects both a trial and a provision for care, pointing to God’s redemptive purpose.

My recent dream directing me to Daniel 9:11, rather than another verse like Daniel 9:18, also carries profound significance related to my continued prayers for patience: “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience” (James 1:2–3). Daniel 9:11 is the heart of Daniel’s confession, where he acknowledges Israel’s sin and the resulting “curse” while setting the stage for his plea for mercy. Daniel 9:11 directly confronts the reality of transgression and its consequences, making it a fitting call for my husband’s situation. His struggles—marked by his 2019 conviction, the recurring 9:11 clock sightings, and his recent arrest and hospitalization—mirror the cycle of sin and consequence in Daniel 9:11. Yet, the verse’s place within a greater prayer for restoration points to hope, aligning with his release from jail on 9/11 as a sign of God’s grace.

My dream of Daniel 9:11 underscores my need for, and prayer for, personal patience, sustaining me through my husband's ongoing mental health issues and reinforcing my prayers with the assurance that "tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope" (Romans 5:3-4). I pray for God's continued strength, and thank Him for His patience, while we wait on the Lord, trusting His mercy to renew us both: "Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him." (Psalm 37:7). “O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do” (Daniel 9:19). This divine focus on Daniel 9:11 highlights God’s desire to redeem through conviction and grace, offering a path forward.

As 2026 marks the seventh year since my husband’s struggles began, the parallel to Nebuchadnezzar’s seven-year trial carries profound hope. After seven years, Nebuchadnezzar was restored: “Mine understanding returned unto me… and my kingdom was restored” (Daniel 4:36). The number seven signifies divine completion in Scripture (Genesis 2:2–3), suggesting that this season of affliction may lead to spiritual and emotional renewal, and God-willing, divine patience: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” (Jeremiah 29:11).

Dreaming of Daniel 9:11 casts me as an intercessor, like Daniel, who prayed for Israel’s restoration. Daniel 9:11’s focus on confession and the hope of mercy calls me to have patience beyond human capability, to pray fervently for my husband’s healing, repentance, and deliverance from mental health struggles, trusting that God hears: “The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles” (Psalm 34:17). This divine prompting encourages steadfast prayer, believing in God’s redemptive power.

Daniel 9:11, “Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws”—reflects the root of my husband’s trials, seen in his 2019 conviction and recent arrest, urging a return to obedience. Daniel 9:12—“And he hath confirmed his words… by bringing upon us a great evil”—speaks of fulfilled consequences, like the hospitalization, yet points to God’s faithfulness in both judgment and mercy. These verses frame Daniel 9:11’s call to repentance, reinforcing the hope of restoration.

This journey—marked by my husband’s Nebuchadnezzar dream, the 9:11 clock signs, the events of 9/10, 9/11, and 9/12, and followed by my recent dream of Daniel 9:11—reflects the heart of Daniel 9:11: a call to acknowledge sin, embrace God’s mercy, and trust in His redemptive plan. As the seventh year approaches, I hold fast to God’s promise: “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning” (Psalm 30:5).

God works in mysterious ways that we may not fully understand:

Isaiah 55

8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

“O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do.” (Daniel 9:19)

In Jesus's Mighty Name. Amen.



​"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us," Ephesians 3:20

From Milk to Meat: Growing in Christ’s Deeper Truths

Picture humanity’s journey with God as a vast tapestry, stretching across time, each thread woven with faith. The Bible tells us we are transformed from glory to glory, shaped into His image as our faith in Him grows. 2 Corinthians 3:18. In Old Testament days, a world of famine, drought, and enemies on every side, Israel's faith was shaky. They lacked the faith to produce even their most basic necessities. Deuteronomy 8:7-10; 1 Corinthians 3:2. Moses and Aaron, however, had meat-level faith in God, to liberate the Jews from Egyptian bondage. Faith that could actually provide the food, water and protection Israel needed in the wilderness. Noah had meat-level faith, and trusted God to save him through the Great Flood. Genesis 6:22. Abraham had meat-level faith when he raised his knife over his only son, Isaac, to sacrifice him as commanded when his faith was tested. That’s real “meat," a deeper faith. How many Christians can honestly understand that level of faith?

"For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." Hebrews 5:12-14

“Milk” is the basic faith that leans on God for survival, like food, water and safety. The Israelites cried, "... for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger." Exodus 16:2-3. Their faith was stuck asking for basic necessities because they lacked basic necessities, and because they had no room for the greater faith available to them, as their hearts were full of need instead of faith in God. Abraham, Noah, Moses and others in the Old Testament had faith that moved mountains Matthew 17:20. In the New Testament, we see milk and meat in 1 Peter 2:2: “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.” That you may grow thereby into meat-level faith and the power promised by Jesus. As Paul describes in Hebrews 5:14: “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”

When Jesus came, He taught that obeying His commandments keeps us close to His love: John 15:10 “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love." He opened up deeper truths about God’s kingdom, like the nearness of His rule: Matthew 4:17, “Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand,” the power available to believers Mark 16:17-18, and the promise of eternal life John 3:16. Some receive milk for survival because their hearts cry out for it, like Israel in the desert pleading for bread: Exodus 16:3, “Would to God we had died… when we did eat bread to the full”. They had no room for more faith, because despair has crippled them. They failed to realize that God provides for His children who believe He does (faith). Matthew 6:31-32

Others, like the apostles, received both milk and meat. Jesus told them not to worry about food or clothes but to trust God’s provision and power. Luke 22:35 “When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.” Still others live in abundance through faith, receiving also meat for power, because their hearts desire it: Philippians 4:19 “My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." What we get depends on our faith, our needs, and God's Will, and we get what we deserve based on our faith. God knows our heart. Jeremiah 17:10 says, “I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.” The "fruit of his doings" are not voluntary actions; they are involuntary actions inspired in our heart by Holy Spirit, who guides us into all truth. John 16:13

Jesus does not just save us and leave us at the starting line. He invites us into a life of authority and power. In Mark 16:17-18, He says, “In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” This kind of life takes faith, even just a tiny bit, like a mustard seed, that can move mountains. Stepping into Christ’s promised power is a process of seeking, desiring, meditating on God's Word and bringing into captivity even your thoughts to the obedience of Christ. For me, personally, it was, as I said, an involuntary and immediate knowledge, feeling, or understanding (hard to describe) of Christ's heart, and a yearning to be like Him. Not all see the same signs, because the Holy Spirit hands out gifts as God chooses. 1 Corinthians 12:11. But God does say, draw near to me and I will draw near to you. James 4:8. And, call on me and I will show you great and mighty things. Jeremiah 33:3. Have you called on God lately, to ask for greater faith, to ask for His Holy Spirit? Luke 11:13

Think of milk as God keeping His people alive. Psalm 37:25 says, “Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” That’s survival faith. Meat is different; it is about power. John 14:12 promises, “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also.. and EVEN GREATER.” Paul calls this meat, meant for those who have grown to discern right from wrong, good from evil. Hebrews 5:14.

For over a hundred years, Pentecostals and Assemblies of God have held tight to this, living and breathing the power of Mark 16:17-18, and the gifts of Scripture, as the last denomination fully following the Bible’s call to this vast power promised by our Lord and Savior to all who believe!

The Holy Spirit changes how we see God. Jesus promised He would send the Spirit to live inside of us forever. John 14:16-17. We see this at Pentecost where people spoke in tongues and preached with courage. Acts 2:4. Back in tough times, like Israel wandering in the desert for 40 years, people just wanted relief from the oppression of the wilderness, and lack of food and water. They cried out for bread and water. Numbers 11:13. The deeper faith Moses had in God's promises actually fed them with the manna in the morning and the quail at night. Moses' faith in God brought food from heaven and water from a rock. Exodus 16:4, 17:6

Faith leads to abundance as promised:

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

"But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully." 2 Corinthians 9:6

"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:8

"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us." Ephesians 3:20

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33

These promises allow faith to grow beyond asking for basic necessities. As Jesus said, the Father knows what we need. When we realize this, we remove the boundary for faith to grow from milk at first, and then meat, or Spiritual Power, as promised by Jesus. Acts 1:8 says, “Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.” This meat faith knows God is close, guiding us like sons. Romans 8:14

This journey is about lining up with God’s Will. Milk faith focuses on getting by, surviving. Israel begged, “What shall we eat?” Exodus 16:3. Moses trusted God to provide, saying, “Is the Lord’s hand waxed short?” Numbers 11:23. Meat faith knows God sees our needs before we ask. Matthew 6:8 says, “Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.” Obedience puts us in step with His purpose. Matthew 6:10. The Spirit molds us to please God. Philippians 2:13. Milk faith gets survival, as Matthew 6:31-33 promises, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God… and all these things shall be added unto you.” Meat faith steps into God's Power of discernment, as Scripture defines: "But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." Hebrews 5:14

So how do we grow from milk to meat? It depends on our faith in God and what we need and want from Him. Milk faith is for beginners. Paul fed it to the Corinthians because they were stuck arguing and fighting. 1 Corinthians 3:1-3. It’s like Israel begging for bread Exodus 16:3, the simple trust that God will keep us alive. Peter puts it this way: “Desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. 1 Peter 2:2. That is the starting point. Meat faith goes deeper, trusting God’s Will and power. Hebrews 6:1-6 says, “Let us go on unto perfection,” beyond the basics. In hard times, faith feeds the hungry: Psalm 37:19 says, “In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.” In good times, meat faith grabs hold of power and plenty: Acts 1:8 promises power, and 2 Corinthians 9:8 adds, “God is able to make all grace abound toward you.” Growth means trusting more, having more faith in God to do what He said He will do. If you think you are stuck, you stay stuck. If you believe God is bigger, you rise: Proverbs 23:7 “As he thinketh in his heart, so is he”.

Some people say faith isn’t about moving from milk to meat. They might argue it is just trusting God, not chasing signs like Mark 16:17-18. Or they could say what we get from God depends more on our situation than our faith. They have a piece of the picture. The Spirit does give gifts differently. 1 Corinthians 12:4. God does meet our specific needs. Matthew 6:33. Israel’s lack of faith depended on Moses's meat faith. His meat faith worked miracles and fed them because he trusted God’s words. But Jesus connects trust in God to personal power. He says, “All power is given unto me." Matthew 28:18. He gives that power to us. Luke 10:19. He promises signs to those who believe. Mark 16:17-18. He even says we will do greater works than him. John 14:12. Paul pushes us to grow beyond milk. Hebrews 6:1. The Bible shows us that faith can reach higher, into meat, when we are ready. All we have to do is believe!

Israel’s poor in spirit leaned on milk. Matthew 5:3. Noah and Abraham trusted God for meat. Since Jesus rose in 33 AD, God’s grace has poured out abundance over two millennia—think electricity, roads, tools, plenty and abundance—that have lifted our eyes from survival to power. The early church grabbed the power Jesus promised: Peter healed a lame man. Acts 3:6: “In the name of Jesus Christ… rise up and walk." Today, in 2025, some mock Mark 16:17-18, but God’s feast has always been available to all who believe. John 11:26. Milk keeps us alive in tough spots and lackadaisical times. Meat empowers us in plenty and zeal. Faith grows as we trust God's Plan and His Word. 

Start with the word 1 Peter 2:2, have faith in God Hebrews 11:6, obedience to His Word John 15:10, and strive (pray) for His gifts Acts 1:8. Wherever we are, scarce or full, God gives us what our faith can hold.

May He bless you and keep you always. Amen.
