Shalom friends,

Once again exciting times are upon us.  Those of us including the media that has become aware of the Malachi prophets are curiously waiting if Peter the Roman will be the next pope....the last pope.

Whether the next pope is Petrous Romanus or not, we have no absolute certainty Jesus is coming for us this year, possibly in the next month or two.

I certainly HOPE & PRAY we are raptured.  But as a Five dover wrote, God is not going to give one or two people a "word" ___this IS it!! ___

There have been visions, dreams, & calculations with compelling dates, events and scriptures that blew up in our faces.

I am concerned  people are going to get carried away with the Malachi prophesies.  While we are edging closer to our Lord's return, let us not take our eyes off Jesus and become fixated with Peter the Roman.

This could be a HUGE test for us all!!

Let us not forget Enoch walked with God and was not because God took him.

We need to keep growing strong in Christ, & live as ambassadors of Christ.

We must continue to pray for people to repent and get saved.  We have to be ready in season and out of season. And as the Holy Spirit guides us and gives us utterance, give people HOPE through Christ Jesus.

For several years between 2005 and 2011, I gave compelling messages on the Lord's imminent return.  I am well grounded in the many facets of the gospel and the Living Word, so my friends and family respect me, but I have been mocked some because we are still here.  However since I feed them the Word, encourage them, love them, and pray with them, they don't throw egg at my face.

But I am not going to take out my megaphone and announce "Surely This IS IT!!!". 

It is more important they continue to walk closely with the Lord.  That they obey the Holy Spirit, and read/study the Word of God.

I have shared the signs of the nearness of Christ but few are truly experiencing the transformation of their minds in Christ.

I am still looking up hoping very soon now we WILL BE going up!!!  But if we don't, I am not going to be saddened and disappointed.  
I love speaking, meditating and studying the Word.  I love praying for people and for myself.  I love being in the Presence of the Lord and no matter what happens, Our GOD, will protect us, provide for us, and bless us with His Love, Presence and Favor.

No weapon formed against us will prosper or succeed in weighing us down or stealing our joy in the Lord.

Let us hope, be watchful, be prayerful that indeed we are about to experience the greatest event of eternity.  But if we do not leave, let us not lose hope.

Blessings and Peace,

Carol Garza
