When God called me, I chose to run from that recognition of this contact. His continued pursuits though recognized brought flight and greater self-deception aided by God’s enemies who want to help me be blind. It was the pain of this life that ended that attempted escape and brought my flight to resolution in surrender. I know that most do not wish to read, like, follow or share these thoughts. For to do so would acknowledge your own flight from God or perhaps elucidate your seared conscience or recognition of the Holy Spirit’s call. Maybe He has given up and included you with those who’ve chosen against Him. Does this in any way upset or arouse your sensibilities?

I run toward God now not away. That is what a man does when someone has saved his life and shown himself utterly trustworthy in perpetuity. God has demonstrated to me as He has promised to all that He is faithful and true to complete that work He first began in the man He saved. This man. I have been transformed over decades of experiences and chastening by God’s messengers and Spirit to rise above my previous limitations and self-direction. Now I look to the impossible as entirely doable not through self but by the presence of the King within who gave me privilege, power and protection to operate on a Spiritual Field of Battle. Have I repeated that this is not of my own doing but rather resolution to the fact of God’s Works within my mind, heart, Body, Spirit and Soul.

We are now faced with a world beyond most human control, but not one that is outside the Christian Scope. For we have studied and made ourselves approved that we have relationship with God, We Know Him and demonstrate that as we do our love by obeying His commands. However, it must be said it takes dependence, Faith and an understanding of His Word to see those events which challenge each of us. This world has arrived at the times when God said we should expect His return. That return and the recognition of the season means that the enemies of God will soon expect their brief and dangerous rise to power. God knows all this will happen and we too begin furnished the Word, the Mind of Christ and the privilege of prayer know too that we shall face the worst times known to the world of man and prevail. Not of our own authority but through His residing in the Person fo the Comforter, God’s Holy Spirit within our hearts.

Now is the time of resolution to those challenges and preparedness for those things which we certainly know must swiftly come to pass for God to return. This is a time of reeadiness and groundwork for the coming Kingdom. It is not a time of talk or reason and pondering though they may occur but rather a Time of Our Book of Acts as the Church of God in Ambassadorship to the World and resistance/restraint of His defeated enemy. At some point the enemy shall be given authority to make war against the saints and prevail for a time. Considering that awful truth we as the Body must then rightly expect that since the enemy shall prevail that many Christians will be persecuted by those enemies for their inclusion in the Faithful. What then may we do to prepare for these challenges if we know that we may not prevail against them. The objective of these challenges is the pregnant opportunity to bear fruit commensurate with Spirit and that which shall bring Glory to the Name of God.

What then is that Resolution to things over which we now have power and authority and some or all of us shall somehow lose and be overcome? Will there be a different outcome based upon that preparation and faith? Will those who are unprepared or missing some mysterious seal fall directly into those moments of persecution which they may have indeed avoided? That is one of the most impactful questions of our day. If there is rapture those who are prepared obviously as the maidens in the Bible had sufficient oil in their lamps to be ready for the Master’s return for the Church. Unfortunately that also demands that half of them were not ready having insufficient oil to navigate the night of the Lord’s Return. This demands or suggests that Christians must know that answer to be ready for the Master and consequently avoid or escape the persecution of the enemy in that period of authority over the Saints. Do you know this answer and if you did would you make resolution to take the necessary steps to bring these advantageous protective measures about?

The Oil is the Seal of the Holy Spirit and the filling of His characteristics and Power in each Christian Born again Heart. Ephesians 1, the very first chapter tells this entire Truth. If you wish to know you will study and do whatever God’s Word, Spirit and Whisper tells you to do to get that filling. If you should need help please ask.
