Thank you for the feedback Annette. I too have a hunch that 2005 will be a pivotal year. Regardless of the timeline possibilities I've written about, there is this sense that major events may occur next year which will allow us to better understand prophetic scripture and where we are on God's timeline, or there may even be direct fulfillment of some end times prophecy. I believe we must put our trust in God at this hour, and be strong in our faith and His leading. I do not believe that the next prophetic event to occur will be the rapture. I believe we have some time to go still.

The majority of prophetic words coming from the congregation that I've come across indicate that change is at the door. That their must be a readiness in the church. That there is action to take in the near future for which God has been preparing His people. Now I do not claim to get words from the Lord, but in my own life, I also get this sense I will soon be called to do difficult work relating to the difficult times just on our horizon. A darkness is about to descend the likes of which we have never seen. It will be up to us, His people, to be the light shinning in the darkness helping people to make sense of the world events around them.

I believe many in the church will not understand what is happening, because they have held to the traditions of man's institutional church instead of searching God's word. In my own life, I've seen his word beginning to speak to me and with such a clarity as I have never known. I still have doubt's about what it is I see, as is my fleshly nature, but I believe the progression of just a little more time will enable those looking to Him and His word, rather then the traditions of men, to fully understand our place in His plans for these times.

May the Lord our God bless each of you as you work to seek the truth, and may He lead you onto the path he has laid out for you.
