Hi Arlene, Linda, and Barry, 

 

 My heart felt gratitude for all your encouraging and loving words that you have given to me and others.   Although I was already a follower of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit was poured out upon me some six years ago and stayed with me day and night for over a month.  During the time that I spent in that Holy "bubble"  God gave me specific direction about the end times and what was and is to come and began to reveal in a progressive order the "deep things of God." 1Corinthians 2:10.   Many wonderful revelations and opportunities were given to me that advanced my search for deeper meaning of who God really is.  As I would "draw near to Him"  and ask for His presence and revelations, He would draw near to me - so much so that the Shekinah Glory(in the form of a bright light) came skipping down my dining table one night repeating itself again  in the presence of three other people while we were having a Bible study and they witnessed it also.  What a comfort that has been to me.

 

Other amazing manifestations of  God have been bestowed upon me with my never ending amazement but my life has never been so torn apart with family and friends turning away from me since that time.  I have suffered many trials but God has promised those who overcome a crown and He tells us that His Grace is sufficient for us (through Paul).  1Peter 5:9 tells us in  reference to the devil, "Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings."  All of us who have chosen to follow the narrow way has suffered just as Jesus did but to a much lesser degree.  

 

When Daniel ask of God, "My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?"  He replied, "Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.  Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked.  None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand." Daniel 12:9-10.  So through all these trials we are being purified, made spotless, and refined  to prepare us for new jobs that we will be given in the coming thousand years reign of our Lord.  I pray each day, sometimes many times a day, that I would be "worthy".  

 

Yes,  Arlene you and Linda have reached out and touched my life.  Barry I am indebted to your greater understanding of what it takes to search out the will of the Lord in words that are written.   My understanding is that I will know all of you by name sisters and brothers when I am translated to God's glorious place that Jesus has prepared for me.  I pray for each of you and ask God to "lift you up".
