Peace and grace to you John,I was introduced to your website this morning by our
bible study leader, Neil Lipken. We are, as you
probably guessed, studying end time prophecy and
preparing for the rapture.I was directed by the Holy Spirit to complete a
document last month which is a colmination of
scriptures that I was guided to during prayer and
fasting over the last 2 years.I have been urged by the Spirit to get it out to as
many people as possible but have been confounded as to
how to do this. I believe your site may help me
accomplish directive. Please review it and post it on
your site as you see fit.Bless you and your efforts in the name of Jesus
Christ!Servent of the Savior,
Christina Owens

Thanks, Christina.
Welcome to the Doves!
John
This is what He told me . . .
The following is a conversation that developed between the Word and myself. It is a culmination of revelation received through prayer and fasting. We are truly blessed who are called by Christ Jesus, the only begotten son and savior, who gave us the abilities to know we are living in the most treasured time in history. All praises to his glory!
May His Word uplift you and strengthen you as it has me. None of the scriptures were looked up through references. He simply directed my eyes to the scriptures. I could never have written a more beautiful message, all for His glory. I have been called to share this with as many people as possible for the time is short; the bridegroom is on His way. My hope is that you see that Christ can turn our concerns into desires and that we have been given the authority to create and conquer using our words through His name.
All praises to Christ, our beloved groom and king!
It is written . . .
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with you (Psalm 139:17-18). Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting (Psalm 139:23-24).
The Lord will perfect that which concerns me. Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of Your hands (Psalm 138:8). A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel (Proverbs 1:5).
Surely I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make my words known to you (Proverbs 1:23). Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledged Him and He shall direct you paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). Honor the Lord with your possessions and with the first fruits of all your increase (Proverbs 3:9-10). You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength (Isaiah 26:3-4).
Your dead shall live. Together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Come, my people, enter your chambers and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation is past. For behold, the Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth will also disclose her blood and will no more cover her slain (Isaiah 26:19-21).
I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I, the Lord, do all these things. For thus says the Lord: Who created the heavens? Who is God? Who formed the earth and made it? Who has established it? Who did not create it in vain? Who formed it to be inhabited? I am the Lord and there is no other. Look to Me and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself. The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness and shall not return, that to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath. He shall say, surely in the Lord I have righteousness and strength. To Him men shall come and all shall be ashamed who are incensed against Him (Isaiah 45:7, 18, 22-24).
The Lord God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He awakens me morning by morning. He awakens my ear to hear as the leaned. The Lord God as opened my ear and I was not rebellious nor did I turn away (Isaiah 50:4-5).
Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me and eat what is good and let your soul delight itself in abundance. Incline your ear and come to Me. Hear and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you – the sure mercies of David, indeed I have given him as a witness to the people; a leader and commander for the people. Surely you shall call a nation you do not know and nations who do not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God and the Holy One of Israel for He has glorified you.
Seek the Lord while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to the Lord and He will have mercy on him and to our God for He will abundantly pardon.
For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven and do not return there, but water the earth and make it bring forth and bud. That it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater. So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth. It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. For you shall go out with joy and be led out with peace. The mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off (Isaiah 55:1-13).
Ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives and he who seeks finds and to him who knocks it will be opened. Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 7:7-8, 12).
I am the true vine and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word, which I have spoken to you. Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine. You are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him bears much fruit. For without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire and they are burned. If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit. So you will be my disciples. As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you. Abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you (John 15:1-17).
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But be of good cheer, I have overcome the world (John 16:33).
One year later . . .
As my prayer routine became a more established part of my life and my fasting became a regular monthly sacrifice, the Lord directed me to books of the bible instead of singular passages of scripture. It was a bit of an adjustment on my part to discern the meaning. I believe he wanted me to seek out deeper meaning.
The Book of Esther
When the Lord first directed me to Esther, I didn’t even read it. My eyes fell on no particular passage as before. I thought I already knew the story of Esther and couldn’t figure how it applied to me or how it could be a message for this time. The Lord brought me to Esther three months in a row before I finally took a serious look. Not only did he bring me to the book during my fasts, it seemed everywhere I turned there was a reference to Esther. If fact, it was just prior to the movie release, One Night With the King. I will give you the references that were most important to me, and then I will tell you the simple message that was finally revealed to me.
It is written . . .
God’s hand of providence and protection on behalf of His people . . . courage of beautiful Esther . . . wise cousin . . . resulting in a great deliverance . . . Feast of Purim (preface notes).
For she had neither father nor mother (2:7). Each young woman’s turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after she had completed twelve months preparation, according to the regulations for the women, for thus were the days of their preparation apportioned: six months with oil of myrrh and six months with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women (2:12). Now when the turn came for Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter, to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king’s eunuch, the custodian of the women, advised. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who saw her. So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus into his royal palace in the tenth month, which is the month of Temeth, in the seventh year of his reign. . . and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins. So he set the royal crown upon her head and made her the queen (2:5-17).
So Esther’s maids and eunuchs came and told her . . . Then she sent garments to clothe Mordecai and take his sackcloth away from him (4:4). So Hathach returned and told Esther the words of Mordecai. Then Esther spoke to Hathach and gave him a command for Mordecai . . . any man or woman who goes into the inner most court to the king, who has not been called, he has but one law; put all to death except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter that he may live (4:9-11). Go gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan and fast for me. Neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise (4:16).
Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king’s palace across from the king’s house while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house facing the entrance of the house . . . Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter (5:1-2). So Esther answered, if it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him (5:4). If I have found favor in the sight of the king and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, then let the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them and tomorrow I will do as the king has said (5:8).
That night the king could not sleep so one was commanded to bring the book of the records of the chronicles and they were read before the king (6:1).
If I have favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition and my people at my request (7:3).
If it pleases the king and if I have found favor in his sight and the thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to annihilate the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces (8:5). And he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, sealed it with the king’s signet ring and sent letters by couriers on horseback, riding on royal horses bred from swift steeds. By these letters the king permitted the Jews who were in every city to gather together and protect themselves - to destroy, kill and annihilate all the forces of any people or province that would assault them, both little children and women and to plunder their possessions on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar (8:10-12). The Jews had light and gladness, joy and honor (8:16).
Thus the Jews defeated all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, with slaughter and destruction, and did what they pleased with those who hated them (9:5). But the Jews who were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day as well as on the fourteenth, and on the fifteenth of the month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness (9:18). To establish among them that they should celebrate yearly the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar as the days on which the Jews had rest from their enemies, as the month which was turned from sorrow to joy for them and from mourning to a holiday that they should make them days of feasting and joy, of sending presents to one another and gifts to the poor (9:21-22). So they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Therefore, because of all the words of this letter, what they had seen concerning this matter and what had happened to them, the Jews established and imposed it upon themselves and their descendants and all who would join them that without fail they should celebrate these two days every year according to the written instructions and according to the prescribed time, that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province and every city, that these days of Purim should not fail to be observed among the Jews and that the memory of them should not perish among their descendants (9:26-28).
Message . . . Prepare yourself to meet the king and come boldly to his throne!
2 Chronicles 34 Josiah Reigns in Judah
It is written . . .
And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord and walked in the ways of his father David. He did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left (2). For the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images (3). They broke down the alters . . . and the incense alters . . . and the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images he broke to pieces (4). He also burned the bones of the priests on their alters and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem (5). When he had broken down . . . he returned to Jerusalem (7).
In the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the temple he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God (8). They delivered the money that was bought into the house of God . . . (9). Then they put it in the hands of the foremen . . . and they gave it to the workmen . . . (10). They gave it to the craftsman and builders . . . (11). And the men did the work faithfully (12). Now when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the Lord given by Moses (14). So Shaphan carried the book to the king, bringing the king word, saying, “All that was committed to your servants they are doing. And they have gathered the money that was found in the house of the Lord and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and the workmen (16-17).” Thus it happened when the king heard the words of the Law that he tore his clothes (19). “Go inquire of the Lord for me and for those who are left in Israel and Judah concerning the words of the book that is found for great is the wrath of the Lord that is poured out on us . . . (21). . . . went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum . . . keeper of the wardrobe (22). Then she answered them, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘Tell the man who sent you to Me, (23). “But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, in this manner you shall speak to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel; “Concerning the words which you have heard – because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its inhabitants and you humbled yourself before Me and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you.” Says the Lord (26-27).
Then the king sent and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem (29). . . . And he read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant, which had been found in the house of the Lord. Then the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the Lord . . . (30-31). And he made all who were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin take a stand. . . Thus Josiah removed all the abominations from all the country that belonged to the children of Israel, . . . All his days they did not depart from following the Lord God of their fathers (32-33).
Message . . . Remove your idols and return to the Lord!
The Book of Ephesians
It is written . . .
Believers who are rich beyond measure in Jesus Christ, yet living as beggars and only because they are ignorant of their wealth. The Christian’s heavenly “bank account”: adoption, acceptance, redemption, forgiveness, wisdom, inheritance, the seal of the Holy Spirit, life, grace, citizenship – in short, every spiritual gift. The Christian learns a spiritual walk rooted in his spiritual wealth. It involves no controversy and deals with no specific problems in any particular church. Written in such a way as to make it helpful for all the churches . . . (preface notes).
. . . By the will of God, to the saints who are . . . faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace. . . Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. . . He chose us in Him . . . We should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons (and daughters) by Jesus Christ . . . to the praise of the glory of His grace by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure . . . that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on hearth – in Him (1:1-10).
Therefore I also, . . . do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. And you He made above, who were dead in trespasses and sins (1:15 – 2:1).
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved) and raised us up together and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus (2:4-6). For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before hand that we should walk in them (2:10).
How that by revelation He made known to me the mystery as I have briefly written already (3:3). That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs of the same body and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel, of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power. To me, who am less that the least of all the saints, this grace was given that I should preach among the Gentiles the unreachable riches of Christ, and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord (3:6-11).
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever, Amen (3:20-21).
Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive and gave gifts to men (4:8)”. . . . be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (5:18-19).
For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh (5:30-31). And let the wife see that she respects her husband (5:33).
Message . . . the riches of Christ are available to us all. Let the bride, his church, respect the husband, our beloved Christ.
The Books of Timothy
It is written . . .
Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come that they may lay hold on eternal life (1 Timothy 6:17-19).
Paul’s second letter to Timothy . . . He begins by assuring Timothy of his continuing love and prayers and reminds him of his spiritual heritage and responsibilities. Only the one who perseveres . . . will reap the reward. . . . Paul’s example to guide him and God’s Word to fortify him as he faces growing opposition and glowing opportunities in the last days (2 Timothy preface notes).
I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom. Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine but according to their own desires. Because they have itching ears they will heap up for themselves teachers and they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry (4:1-5).
Do your utmost to come before winter . . . (4:21).
Message . . . Preach the word! Come to Him before the season of harvest is complete!
All praise and glory to the Christ almighty! Come to Him and He will receive you!
No matter whom you are, no matter where you’ve been, He will not remember your transgressions for they have been born away and cast into to the lake of forgetfulness. He only wants you to come, that He may love you, as His father loves Him.
If you will open your heart to Him, he will make of you a new creation. The harvest time is now. His workers are in the fields and the fruit is ripe. I plead for you that you would be saved by Christ and counted as one of the saints. I pray that you would hear Him calling you. Only He can fill that which is empty in your life. He is standing at the door of your heart, you only have to open it to Him and He will do the rest.
The way is simple, the yoke is easy and the love is abundant. It doesn’t matter how you have been turned off by religion in the past. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve read the bible or not. You don’t have to be a member of a church or choose a denomination. All you have to do is believe and confess that belief with your mouth. Repeat this simple prayer of salvation aloud and He will count you as his child!
Dear God,I come to You with a humble heart and with gratitude for sending Your Son Jesus Christ to take away my sin that I might have right standing with You.
I accept Jesus now as my Savior and Lord and I turn from my past life to a renewed life in You through Him.
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you now for accepting me as your child. You said in Your Word that if I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, I would be saved (Romans 10:9). I have just made this confession. I believe Your Word. I believe that I am now saved and I thank you for the gift of salvation in Jesus’ name.
Amen
Congratulations! You are now a child of God and counted as one of the saints. I pray that you will quickly receive the benefits of the Holy Spirit and all the inheritance that is due you as stated in the Word.
