LAST POST





I will still be shining but you won't find me here,
its time to vacate this particular sphere.

Its goodbye to snoopers, warlock and witch,
crone and the vampires who titter and twitch.

Facebook and Twitter how sick is all that,
you're safer at home with a dog and a cat.

Back to basics, paper and pen,
THE SYSTEM WILL CRASH
THE RESULT MAYHEM.

So lets leave it in God's hands,
its not about me,
Time to go off line for that nice cup of tea.

The message delivered, can you still pretend,
not to hear or to heed, surely this is
THE END.

LETTER FROM H.Q.




Ezekiel 34 - 16

I will seek that which was lost,
and bring again that which was driven away,
and bind up that which was broken,
and will strengthen that which was sick:
but I will destroy the fat and the strong;
I will feed them with judgement.

NKJ


Dear brother and sister in Yeshua, 
and the little lambs.

We rejoice that everything has gone well with the first move, prayerfully the Lord will send His people to guide you, especially where the Planning Department and the legal profession are concerned, there is so much corruption.   We receive news every day of people who are beneficiaries of tainted advice, finding themselves manipulated into situations certainly not of their own making.

  Matthew 10 - 16
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves;
be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

We will pray that the Lord will give you a spirit of discernment.   We also need to ensure that anyone wishing to join the rapidly growing cells are truly spirit filled and daily walking with our Lord.  We will not allow those with a personal agenda to infiltrate the groups.  Adonai is our leader, there is no place for self appointed hierarchy, we still leave an empty chair at every meeting.    Every member is precious in His sight.   Hence the very real need to make sure we are all in the right queue at the check in.

Before we send a news letter we will read the contents to the group.   If a sister is experiencing difficulties perhaps you could pray into that situation.    We would not wish to be accused of "chinese whispers" - thankfully if we know there are problems we can help.   That's what friends do.

Penny is facing increasing persecution but remains stoic and determined, her feet firmly placed on the rock.   Nevertheless she does consider herself estranged from the very people who should be giving her love and support.   I think I can speak for all when I say she has our love and support and that all she can do is petition the Lord and leave the rest to him.   This is His work.

With that in mind I referred her to the book "Love Revealed" written by that true servant of the Lord, George Bowen.   In the second chapter he writes:

"There is nothing in the universe that has so odious and repulsive an aspect for a holy God as unbelief, selfishness, pride, envy, malice and the like.   And there is no more wonderful spectacle anywhere than that of the blessed Spirit of God in the sinful heart of man, coming into closest quarters with his pride and malice, bringing Christ nigh to his rebellious will, and hewing for the triune God a holy of holies out of a rock of unbelief."

And we all said "Amen and Amen"

Betty and Audrey lost their balance and hit the deck last week.   Both were quite shaken and are resting.   Betty's injuries were not quite so apparent due to the heavy coat and trousers she wore at the time, but she can only lift one hand in praise (here we all laughed - thanking the Lord for a sense of humour) at the moment due to a shoulder injury.    Audrey broke her wrist as she reached to break her fall.   

They had lunch together and decided they had been suitably reprimanded.   They were both about to crash and burn going everywhere at a gallop.   He has used the "rod" now perhaps they will listen.
Martha, Martha, its time to be a Mary.    Luke 10 - 42   Now they rest at His feet for the foreseeable future.

They giggled as they considered it could have been worse.   A neighbour had broken both wrists skidding on the wet leaves that litter the pavements.    "Thankfully" said Audrey "you have Lee to help in that situation, but had it been Ruth exactly who would have pulled her knickers up, it's bad enough with just one hand damaged getting in and out of the bath without getting the plaster wet" and they both laughed and considered that even there it was a case of "thanks Lord, it could have been worse"

Ruth desperately wants to be with you but for now she is facing the challenge of yet another move into what she is about to call her "bird's nest"     A very necessary private quiet space where she can scribble to her hearts content, but the minute you say "come" she will.   No doubt Joshua will tag along as they have become firm friends.   They are very thankful for each other's companionship.   They both considered they were happily married for many years but had never experienced a close friendship with someone who truly knew the Lord.   Now they happily chatter away like busy magpies and there are no strange stares or sarcastic comments to interrupt their debate.

The other cells in the area are moving in the same direction.   Strong friendships are forming that will stand whatever lies ahead.   We have a General Practitioner in one cell who is very aware of current developments in the health service,  he is surely a blessing.   We all need a really good first aid box and the necessary knowledge how to 'plug that gap, stop that flow'.   We all accept the Lord says "when" but we will still need to help others.

Time is short nevertheless all around the planet His children are ready and waiting, each a tiny jewel of light shining into the darkness.

Yeshua,  we long for your return.

May Adonai be a mighty hedge of protection around you and the children until we meet again and  may Yahweh hold you all in the palm of His hand.

Much love in Yeshua to both yourself, Beth and the little ones.

SHALOM

SCOFFER




A wise son heareth his father's instruction,
But a scorner heareth not rebuke.

Proverb 13 - 1



Scoffer

He's running hard this little brother,
a ticking clock will win the race.
He has no peace, is never still,
he scoffs considering wealth his cover.
You die, that's it, I've had my fill,
end of, no other life.


Our mortal flesh will rot away,
this nightmare begins with a final day.
Eternal darkness, captives scream and cry,
blind terror, now aware that the soul doesn't die.

But hands that once reached for a tiny child,
now join in prayer for this drowning soul.
Abba - hosanna (save now) let him live,
melt his heart with Holy fire,
drag his soul from the filth and mire.

Burn away the dross,
turn his wealth to loss,
bring him down on his knees,
use the rod till he bleeds.
Abba - hosanna (save now)

How good is the Grace that chases after us all the days of our life in this world,
we shall dwell in the house of God for all eternity.

HIDDEN CELL



LETTER FROM THE HIDDEN CELL




Dear Brothers and Sisters in Yeshua,

Many apologies for the delay in writing to you.    We have survived a traumatic move and are safely hidden away in our temporary home.   More news to follow.

If you ever doubted the instruction in Revelation 18 - 4-5

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying
Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not her plagues.
For her sins have reached unto heaven,
and God hath remembered her iniquities.
KJV

please watch the posting on You Tube by Bob Mitchell "Jacob Prasch speaking in Hastings UK.
It's in five parts - but a very necessary teaching for confused sheep.

Please remember Jacob in your prayers,  that the Lord will be a mighty hedge of protection around him and those he loves.  Many will be working to silence him.   He will surely be their undoing as sheep move to safer pasture and anointed leadership.

We are particularly mindful of those of you who not only have unsaved in your families but suffer the ridicule of those who consider they have a superior intellect.   Simple sheep we just trust in our shepherd.   There are men on the internet who could deal with their disbelief.

Thankfully we do have internet access here and we recently watched the You-Tube posting on "The temptation of Christ" by Ravi Zacharias who deals with those who consider they have an answer to everything in the science they have been taught and accepted,  no doubt one day soon they may face unbelievable challenges as the unimaginable fills their horizon.    Whoops - too late to go back to the drawing board.

Matthew 18 - 3 - Yeshua said "And verily I say to you, Except ye be converted and become as little children,  ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven." KJV   

On a lighter note we are safely housed in a recently renovated estate worker's cottage.    In the distance we can see a loch and mountains.    We decided to rent a property rather than buy until we could find land and a suitable sized building to shelter those escaping the escalating persecution.    We need to be as independent as possible where food supplies are concerned and will need arable land.   It also gives us time to assess the market and pray for direction.     We don't want to buy in haste and repent at leisure.

The children are being home schooled.    Beth had made this decision before we left the home group we didn't want the polluted state system to gain a foothold.   We have also moved the horses to nearby grazing, they will be a necessity for getting around if we have a bad winter.    We still have the Land Rover that can usually cope with anything, but I can just see Beth riding out on to the hills on Blackie.   She is such a sturdy pony and in the past a local farmer has used her in his search for buried sheep.

All in all, we are well blessed.

This letter was written in two stages and the final addition is good news.    We have found an old church for sale on the internet.  It's on the mainland, but quite isolated, surrounded by beautiful scenery.
This might be just what we are looking for.    Please pray that we make a right decision.  We still have to research what we can and can't do with the land surround the building, we do need to be able to put cabins on the site.

Meanwhile we will be praying the Lord will be a mighty hedge of protection around you all.    Please know that if we get the right site the cabins or static homes will be our first priority to ensure we have a place for you if and when you decide to visit, or perhaps join us.

May Almighty God protect each and every one of you as you witness His Kingdom to come in the encroaching darkness.   

Remember Romans 12 - 2
And be ye not be conformed to this world:  but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
KJV.

Isaiah 52 - 12
For ye shall not go out with haste,
Nor go by flight:
for the Lord will go before you:
and the God of Israel will be your reward.
KJV
Love and blessings always,

Beth and Joel.

The Audit


And it came to pass that when he returned, having received the kingdom,
he then commanded these servants to be called unto him,
to whom he had given the money,
that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

Luke 19 - 15


Sheila sat on the hillside and gazed across the valley towards the setting sun everything so beautiful, so peaceful.   Suddenly the thought came into her head "what if tomorrow never comes" and the music played in her head settling on the words "there's no second chance"

That afternoon she had been watching a video by the late great David Wilkerson who had clearly won his crown of glory and was now well and truly home.   Surely the trumpets sounded as the gates flung open wide and there amongst the multitude waiting to welcome him George Bowen (bombaybowen.wordpress.com/) the man he considered his inspiration.

This amazing man was recorded as being THE example 'of what a Christian is' even to the heathen idol worshippers he lived and walked amongst, and yet in his forty plus years of ministry in India it is stated Bowen had not one convert.    

A seed lies dormant until a specific trigger starts its growth.   Surely the same can be said of sowing the seeds of faith.   God decides when - all he requires is that we sow, he is the trigger.    Taking the years into account 1840 - 1888 it is not surprising there isn't a record of lives changed.   It was hardly the era of today's flamboyant evangelists, lear jet and all.    Yes, they fill the pews with a personal agenda, one look at the palace they call home says it all.   Hear this, be very afraid of the Day of my Lord.

The commentary stated "it was only after his death in 1888 that missionaries discovered he was one of the most beloved missionaries in the Nation.   David Wilkerson wrote "His humble life and powerful words still enflame my soul and the souls of others worldwide"    Obviously the people saw Christ in his witness, and the outcome, only God has the head count. 

"I can match that"  Sheila considered.

David Wilkerson - millions upon millions of converts even now, via the internet.
Sheila Wilson      - nil - and not even worthy to receive a crown, what would the Lord say reading her performance figures on the great Audit day.  

In her imaginary interview Sheila swallows hard "I kept You close to my heart Lord.   But perhaps in my defence I might add "I did throw seed around and speak your Truth at every given opportunity, but even the legalists and pharisees called me a 'critical spirit, disruptive, disrespectful of their God given leadership.  Non christians considered I had a bad case of religious mania or I was just plain mad as a box of ferrets.

Memories surfaced of Christians she had met on her pilgrimage who were busily re-writing the Jewish Messiah out of their bibles, creating another Jesus, blatantly ignoring Matthew 5 - 20 and the fact that Jesus's ministry fulfilled the law but didn't abolish it.

Sadly whatever she witnessed was contradicted by those who were twisting doctrine to suit their life styles.   True nicolaitans, they wanted the world and the church in that order, and finally when enough was enough it was time to leave - Revelation 18  - 4 "come out of her My people" 

Her study bible taught "know that those who have the greatest knowledge of the Truth will be held accountable to the wise stewardship of that knowledge.    There will surely be much dancing when Messiah returns some "DANCING ON HOT COALS"

Another memory surfaced. She stood at the open doorway of her church as a greeter.   Most walked past already engaged in conversation.   Occasionally a parishioner smiled and exchanged salutations.   She was warmly wrapped against the bitter cold, fur hat, gloves, thick coat and snug boots.   The arriving vicar probably considered she looked more like a refugee from Siberia.   "Can you take that hat off" he instructed "it doesn't say much about the heating system in the church"   Whether it was dry wit or a serious order she obediently removed the offending hat, embarrassed by his curt remark.

Back to the imaginary audit.   How could she even stand alongside her elderly sister in Christ who pounded the streets of the city in fair or foul weather offering soup, sandwiches and drinks to the homeless boys on the street.  Totally oblivious of any hurtful or sarcastic comments she told them "Jesus loves you" but many were blind seeing only the material world and their plight.   Audrey saw a soul screaming inside a drug tormented mind and a dysfunctional body and she wanted to keep trying, just one of many saints striving and burning themselves out against the rising tide of darkness.

"But Lord" said Sheila " (probably in a vain attempt to qualify her feeble actions) "surely it is written,
the conclusion, the end game, and only the Father knows the day.   And when You come back every knee will bow, every tongue confess Your Lordship.  Romans 14 - 11

She continued "I really did try Lord, but they remain blind and deaf, arrogant, so full of their own considered superior intelligence and prominence in the scheme of things, surely it takes more than my simple witness, perhaps a 'Road to Damascus' job.       "Lord is it so wrong to just want to be a Mary? because that is where I long to be, close to you.       


Luke 10 - 39 - 42
And Jesus answered and said unto her Martha, Martha,
thou art careful and troubled about many things;
But one thing is needful; and Mary has chosen that good part,
which shall not be taken away from her.

The juke box starting playing in her head the popular Carpenter song "Close to You" and she sang out loud with a slight variation "Just like me, they need to be, close to You."

Sheila scrambled to her feet, reached for her faithful companion Tess and began the journey down the hillside, through the grazing flock of sheep, towards the twinkling lights in the valley and as she went she whispered a silent prayer.   "Lord, I am just so grateful to be one of Your sheep.   Love you Lord" she whispered "I'll try harder - that's a promise"

RUNNING



ISAIAH 45 - 22

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth:
for I am God, and there is none else.


Running

Those who profess your Name
run here and there exacting gain,
requiring they are first to receive
as earth begins to toss and heave
UNDER THE RISING SON.

Scoffers, Pharisees all passed by,
 He takes the hand of the damaged boy
and the girl who clutches the ragged toy,
the multitude mankind would not feed,
helpless victims of lust and greed.

The meek and humble kneel in awe
each single soul their peace secure.
Children of His precious Word,
beautiful, shinning, forever preferred.

T.Hills

Revelation 19 - 2
"For true and righteous are His judgements:  for He hath judged
the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication,
and hath avenged the blood of His servants at her hand"



Vera realised her timing left much to be desired as she hurried to catch the hourly bus.    "Its okay Vera" shouted Vicky "we see you, don't worry"

Panting the elderly grandmother heaved herself on to the platform.   "Sorry about that" she gasped at the driver.   "Its okay ducks" the driver replied smiling "just sit yourself down and get your breath back"

The local bus was full of chattering pensioners laughing and joking.   The driver enjoyed his route they were such a cheerful crowd.

There's a lesson here considered Vicky, as the world slides towards the abyss there is still a glimmer of hope for mankind, always someone mindful of others.    We all travel the same road and eventually reach the same frail state.    

"King and commoner, it comes to us all" said the slight figure clutching a shopping trolley.

"What's that" enquired Vicky

"Death" replied the sorrowful creature.   Vicky realised she had always seen the elderly lady with a man, but now she sat alone.   She moved to sit on the empty seat beside her.   "I haven't seen you for some time how are you?  enquired Vicky    "I'm coping" she replied "but this is my first time on the bus since my husband died.   I'm determined to get back into some sort of routine.   

A hush settled on the passengers, almost as though they were hanging on every word exchanged between the two women at the front of the bus.

"I'm a widow" replied Vicky "I know how hard it is getting used to being alone, especially when it comes to social gatherings, couples everywhere.    I sometimes see very elderly couples walking hand in hand down the main street but know that will never happen for me."   

The silence was interrupted by a cheerful shout from the rear "you can have mine"   There was uproar as everyone burst into laughter.   They obviously knew her husband and found the comment hilarious.

The intruder was not being unkind, it was a truthful comment on aging relationships as folks stumble through their last days together watching each other slowly crumbling away.   Vicky often heard women complain about their aging partners, sometimes joking at their habits, sometimes incredibly cruel, but then Vicky knew human relationships were far from perfect remembering being truly shaken when a woman said "I'm glad he's dead he was a horrible man" 

"We who are left behind have to struggle on to the finish line" she said smiling at the elderly passenger "and you know the old saying" she comforted "until you have walked in someone's shoes you don't know what they are going through.   

"I think it was moccasins wasn't it?  suggested a passenger joining in the conversation  "and it's an old Indian saying".   "Thank you for that" replied Vicky smiling over her shoulder at the intervention. 

As the passengers piled off the bus Vicky prayed silently "Thank you Lord, without your love and encouragement I would never have made it through the early days of widowhood and the realisation that at any time our grasp on life is so very fragile and death inevitable.   But my hope is in You and Your Kingdom to come.
  

Just one kind word or action
Lights a dark corner of this hurting world
HIS KINGDOM REVEALED.
