The FirstFruits of GOD’s Heart Desire

The FirstFruits of GOD’s Heart Desire

What Is Firstfruits?
The word “firstfruits” is a plural noun.
The firstfruits is holy and sacred. It is morally and spiritually excellent—already devoted to God and not to man.

Christ the Firstfruits of God
Christ the Messiah is “the Firstfruits” of God.
First, He is “the Firstfruits of Creation”:
Who is the Image of the invisible God, the Firstborn of every creature:
For by Him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him:
And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.
Col 1:15-17 KJV

Christ is the visible Image of the unseen God. He existed before all things; He is the Creator of all things. He is supreme over all.
 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:1-3 KJV

He is “Firstborn among many brothers” (Rom. 8:29 NIV).
Hebrews 1:6 reveals something which happened when the Son of God came into the habitable world:
And again, when God brings His Firstborn into the world, He says,
"Let all God's angels worship Him." 
Heb 1:6 NIV

He is “the Firstbegotten” of the Father.

Secondly, He is “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep”.
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
1 Cor 15:20-22 NIV

King James Version records:
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Christ is the Firstfruits of all that are part of the new creation. He is “The Resurrection And The Life”—the First, raised to life.
He is “the First of the firstfruits.”
The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God.
Ex 23:19a KJV

Since Jesus rendered His priestly offering to The Father, He awaits for His enemies to be made His footstool (Heb.10:13-14).



The Saints as the Firstfruits of the Spirit
The saints of God, who are the truly regenerated humans, of all generations, since Adam, are collectively “the firstfruits of the Spirit.”

Even the nation of Israel was a type of firstfruits to God.
Prophet Jeremiah recorded:
Israel was holy to The Lord,
the firstfruits of His harvest;
all who devoured her were held guilty,
and disaster overtook them,'"
 declares The Lord.
Jeremiah 2:3 NIV

All that are redeemed by the Blood; the glorified saints in Heaven, and the believers who are still in the earth, Jew and Gentiles, of all nationalities, all eagerly wait for their “adoption as sons”; “the redemption of their bodies.’
This is so because; they are “the firstfruits of the Spirit.”
Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
Rom 8:23 NIV

It’s quite a pity that there are many preachers today, who exploit their congregations of material things, claiming by their teachings that such are the biblical “firstfruits.”
God's primary business for His Kingdom is 'soul winning' not material wealth acquisition or accumulation!
Therefore, the Lord’s “firstfruits” is not first crop harvested!
His firstfruits are not the first harvest of the season or year! And neither is it money!
We are God’s firstfruits!

The Resurrection is a harvest; ‘a harvest of souls.’  It is God's harvest of the spirit and soul of man clothed in a new body. Just like the first crop harvest by the farmers, so will be the Rapture of the saints. It will be the first harvest of the Resurrection season. The next harvest would be in the time of The Second Coming Of Christ, when He comes to the earth with His angels for “the Calling Away” of the Elect-144,000.
Christ Jesus is the Firstfruits of God and in accord, we are His firstfruits being acknowledged as heirs of God and co-heirs (joint heirs) with Christ.
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the Firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
1 Cor 15:20 NIV

Christ rose first; and as a result, being the very Plan and Purpose of God for our redemption, we too who have come to believe in Him and received Him shall be raised on the Resurrection Morning.
But each in his own turn: Christ, The Firstfruits; then, when He comes, those who belong to Him.
1 Cor 15:23 NIV

God predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ (see Eph 1:5).
As part of the First Resurrection, we shall be raised in proper order! This, our Lord Jesus Christ has already promised us, giving us guarantee by His Holy Spirit, by Whom He has sealed us unto that great Day of Redemption!
We have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body (physical body) of Jesus Christ on the cross (read Heb.10:10).
Our transformed bodies will never grow old. They will be incapable of pain. There will be no wrinkles on our faces. With youthful radiance we shall appear before Him in His glorious Image. We shall be completely new, and it will be wonderful!

Jesus is “the First of the firstfruits” and we are “the firstfruits.”
The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God.
Ex 23:19a KJV

After our Lord Jesus accomplished His priestly work on earth, He went up into Heaven [the house of the Lord] and appeared before the Father, with His precious Blood. He went into the Holy of Holy ahead of us, as “the First of the firstfruits,” and that day, His priestly work was established.

We are a part of “the Church of the Firstborn” which has its headquarter in Heaven (Heb. 12:23).
And He is the Head of the body, the Church: Who is the Beginning, the Firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence.
Col 1:18 KJV

Both Enoch and Noah are part of “the First Resurrection.”
The ‘Calling Away’ of Enoch from the earth by God was a type of “the Rapture” which now, is imminent.
But, Noah and his family saved from the Flood by the ark speaks of the Elect (144,000) redeemed from among men at the end of the 3 ½ years Great Tribulation.
The Rapture saints will be offered to God as “a glorious Church”, not having spot, or wrinkle (Eph 5:27 KJV). We have the firstfruits of The Spirit (Romans 8:23).

The New International Version in Romans 11:16 says:
If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
The TLB version gives us a more insight into this:
And since Abraham and the prophets are God's people, their children will be too. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches will be too.



The Saints as the Firstfruits of God’s Creation
Like Jesus, we are “a kind of firstfruits” of God’s creation.
Of His own Will begat He us with the Word of Truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
James 1:18 KJV

This verse speaks of both the spiritual and natural creations. In the supernatural, we are given birth through “the Word of Truth.” God chose to give us birth through His Word, that we might be ‘a kind of firstfruits’ of all He created.



“The Elect” as Firstfruits to God and the Lamb
“The Elect” in Revelation 14 also, are firstfruits to God the Father and to the Lamb.
Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 who had His Name and His Father's Name written on their foreheads. And I heard a sound from Heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. And they sang a new song before the Throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb.
Rev 14:1-4 NIV

In this prophetic passage of future fulfillment, The Lamb stood on Mount Zion, in the New Jerusalem and with Him 144,000 [men] who had His Name and His Father's Name inscribed on their foreheads.
None amongst this group is a woman, as this is clearly indicated in verse 4:
These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever He goes. They were purchased from among men and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb.

These are they who have no sexual relations with women; they are spiritually undefiled, pure virgins. And they are preserved as natural virgins throughout their lifetime on the earth.
They follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
They have been purchased from among [the men] on the earth as a consecrated offering— they have been ransomed—redeemed—purchased as “firstfruits” to God and the Lamb.



Foreshadow of Spiritual Reality
The law is only a shadow of the good things that
are coming — not the realities themselves.
Hebrews 10:1a NIV

Dedication of “the firstfruits” in the Old Testament was an act of worship.
God required "a sheaf of the first grain" from the Israelites.
The Lord said to Moses, "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When you enter the land I am going to give you and you reap its harvest, bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain you harvest. He is to wave the sheaf before the Lord so it will be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.
Lev 23:9-11 NIV

The sheaf of the firstfruits presented on “the morrow after the Sabbath”; which was on the first day of the week, points to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ in the New Covenant.
He arose on the first day of the week; and ‘the firstfruits’ were waved before the Lord on the first day of the week (the morrow after the Sabbath).
The waving of the sheaf before the Lord by the priest means, that it is presented to God, offered to Him on behalf of the bringer of the sheaf; then it is weighed and accepted by God.
Our “Eternal High Priest” is the One Who offers our spirits to God as His firstfruits from the earth; and He is “the Lord of the Harvest” Who will one day present us before the glorious Presence of the Father and His angels.

A "sheaf" prophetically is ‘the soul of man’ ripe for spiritual harvest.
So, the psalmist wasn’t referring to natural sheaves, but “spiritual sheaves,” when he wrote:
He who goes out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with him.
Psa 126:6 NIV

This also is the reason why in Joseph’s Dream in Genesis 37, his sheaf rose up, but his brother’s sheaves bowed down to his, revealing that he would become a prince [ruler] over his brethren.
A “spiritual sheaf” in the sight of the Lord is a ‘precious seed.’
Firstfruits in the Old Covenant has its fulfillment in the New Covenant—which is a divine spiritual reality; the Resurrection, is that reality. The (Jewish) “Feast of FirstFruits” is all about ‘the harvest of souls.’
Each of the Lord's Appointed Feasts for Israel in the Old Testament had its requirement and significance (see Leviticus 23:1-14).
God demanded from His people, “the firstfruits” in the Old Testament as a sign of His Covenant with His people:
And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
Ezek 44:30 KJV

If you belong to Christ Jesus, then you are a part of “the firstfruits of God’s heart desire” which will be made morally and spiritually excellent—even as you are already devoted to God and not to man, for Christ has reconciled you to God in the body of His flesh through death, in order to present you holy, sacred, and faultless and irreproachable in the Presence of the Father.
The only condition is that you fully believe the Truth, standing in it steadfast and firm, strong in the Lord, convinced of the Good News that Jesus died for you, and never shifting from trusting Him to save you. This is the wonderful News that came to each and every one of us, and is now being preached all over the world! (Read Col. 1:22-23).
Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the Presence of His Glory with exceeding joy,
To the only Wise God our Saviour, be Glory and Majesty, Dominion and Power, both now and ever. Amen.
Jude 24-25 KJV

A Vision of the Return of Christ by David Michael

A Vision of the Return of Christ
by David Michael
What David saw and experienced was absolutely extraordinary. He saw the Return of the Lord Jesus, Who had descended from Heaven into earth's atmosphere, moving through the skies above Teman (Yemen and Saudi Arabia).
He literally experienced what it would be like to be taken up to be with the Lord and to return with Him in the air.

"As the experience opened I suddenly felt as though I had been taken to another place. I looked around and saw gathered all around me, a countless number of saints.
Their faces were beautiful and radiant, for they were there for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. His Bride, of which I was a part, had been caught up to be with Him in the air suspended in His Tabernacle, high in the sky above the Arabian Peninsula.

We were hidden in the canopy of the divine bridal chamber. As I looked around, I realized I was in a building that was larger than anything that I had ever seen before.
It was both vast, and tall. The ceiling was so tall that had the building been constructed upon the earth it seems as though one could have perhaps seen it from neighboring states. One can imagine the immensity of a building designed to hold the saints from antiquity to the time of the great catching away of the Church.
As I looked up, suddenly the veil opened and I saw Messiah sitting upon His throne overlooking with wonder and delight His perfected Bride. As Messiah's eyes moved slowly across the great community of saints, he would look deep and penetratingly into the eyes of each one, captivating and caressing their soul with His tender Love.
So it was with me. When our eyes met, I felt His approval, His great delight that I was there with Him. I could see and understand His weighty purpose for my life and for the Church on earth. At the same time I had an understanding of eternity itself.
Joy overflowing filled my heart. Deep thankfulness for all that I now understood only added to the exhilarating joy.
The pageantry, the joyous merriment, the bridal song, the dance of the bride was all part of this suspended moment of long awaited intimacy with our Beloved.

Finally, we knew Him as we were known. In what were perhaps only minutes; Love's fulfillment was greater than the heart could ever have been prepared for.
Everything I ever wanted to feel or ever could have hoped to feel was exploding inside me. Yet I was fixated upon Him with such serene calm. Love divine was possessing my very being and sweeping me away with adoration and wonder.
Yet, even in this incredible moment in time encapsulated by His Love, riveted upon His watchful and tender gaze, we were able to know anything we wanted or needed to know about anything, even those things that did not necessarily pertain to the Chamber in which we were hidden.
We also knew the things that were occurring upon the earth. Earth was very dark and the space between this heavenly Tabernacle and earth was filled with clouds so black as to beg description.
What was happening on earth itself was hideously evil and perilous beyond my limited human vernacular to explain. Only a drastically reduced number of the human race was left.
Many lay dying within the earth's desolation. Human carnage was everywhere. We thought as our awareness of the earthly desolations increased, there has never been anything like this in the history of the human race.
It left us with an awesome soberness. Yet, being encapsulated by His wonderful Love and Wisdom, this knowledge did not in any way take away from the wonder of being with our Beloved Who is Just in all that He does.

Destiny began to grip our hearts as we realized that we must soon respond to its call to re-enter earth to save all of Israel and the remaining Gentiles who were awaiting the Coming of the true King of Israel.

All of Israel was waiting, looking for their Messiah to come and deliver them. We saw the huge Commonwealth of Jewish people desperately searching for Him Who alone could save them.
Messiah knew of the imminent deliverance He was about to make. We could feel His growing anticipation of this final crescendo, in human history when at last He would take His rightful place as the King of all the earth.
As His anticipation and joy grew, so did ours, for we were now one in heart with Him Whom we love. But, everything was set to precision timing. At this moment He was enjoying intimacy with His Bride, while yet the Holy Spirit and His angels were carefully caring for those who were His on the earth preserving them for His Second Coming.
In what seemed like the next moment, it was time, and the descent to earth to take up His throne was upon us. Our Messiah began to lead us forth in our gradual descent, still hidden in the clouds not yet seen with the naked eyes.
Hundreds of thousands of Jewish people were eagerly awaiting His Coming. Knowing He was coming to a people who were ready to make Him King, Messiah, with His grand entourage continued to descend until He reached the skies just above the Mount Paran at which time we began to move parallel to the mountain range.
The sight of Eternity's King and His grand army of saints was so glorious, filled with such pageantry the likes of which no earthly king has ever seen. The King of Glory adorned in majesty coming to earth with His Bride clothed in His own glorious apparel designed just for her.
His glorious Church—jewels immemorial. Oh, words are pail—books could be written and never tell the real splendor of this divine crescendo of the ages.
Together we traveled just above the Kings Highway in the sky across the Jordanian mountains. I don't remember undergoing any special transition from the suspended palanquin in the sky to being part of a numberless holy army, but somehow that transition was made and we were now part of the most powerful army in all creation.

Due east of Jerusalem, at Ammon, the Holy army being led by their Divine Captain of the Host now on His white horse became visible to all. Riding on triumphantly for truth with the host of the saints behind Him.
We turned and headed straight for Jerusalem, where we would enter through the eastern gate. Eternity's King—mighty to save, and His glorious Church were re-route to save all of Israel, His beloved; and those who looked for His Coming.

The anti-Christ had given his best to take what rightfully belonged to the Great King, but in the end was overthrown by the Eternal King Himself. Every eye saw Him, and those who looked for His appearing loved Him.
It was a most glorious vision of the Return of Messiah with His Church.

Message from the Lord SABRINA De Muynck

Message from the Lord
SABRINA De Muynck
Hello. My name is Sabrina. Let me introduce myself a bit.
I became a Christian in 1992.
God has done a huge job in me concerning emotional recovery. It has been an intense, difficult, painful and long journey, but it has led to an intense wonderful intimate friendship with God. God has been my perfect counselor. He has treated me with His tender care, wisdom and especially a lot of patience.
God's heart desire was and is intimacy with His children and this also became my heart's desire. I learned to hunger and thirst for everything from Him. I learned to worship Him in all my circumstances, no matter how I felt.
I learned to have a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit and I discovered that it was He who spoke to me in my mind. I created a deep respect for Him and invited Him every day in my prayers to fill and lead me completely. I did everything not to hurt Him.
One day in 2006 God started talking to me about His soon Coming. The Lord has also told me that the fact I always hear His Voice, is His gift of Grace for me. Later I understood that this gift would also be used in the prophetic and encouraging field for other people. But the principal of this gift was that He would use me in this end-time to speak about His soon Coming.

In April 2008 God told me it was important to spend much time with Him. This desire grew also in my heart more and more and the Lord said to me that this was also His desire and His Holy Spirit’s desire.
From then on I put a number of specific days for Him separately during the week. I filled these days with prayer, Bible reading, reading books, listening to good Bible studies on the internet, worship, etc ... but it also happened that the Holy Spirit urged me to go to evangelize to someone.

Heaven is too real for me, time too short and the exhortations of the Lord too strong for something else to do.
On January 6, 2010, I had a prophetic Rapture dream. Though I was engaged much in these matters, I had not received many rapture dreams. This was my second. The Lord explained that His Coming will be sudden, with great Power, followed by immediate panic and chaos.

On May 25, 2010, God gave me an important dream of the Bride. The explanation was this: "It is important for My Bride to prepare herself. Behold, I come quickly and then there will be no more time to make up. My Bride must prepare now. Be ready! I am ready. "God spoke in a serious tone!

On July 9, 2010, God gave me an encouraging Word. Here is an excerpt from the letter: ‘My dear daughter, write it down. Know that everything here is as good as ready. There is nothing stopping Me to come for My Bride. Everything is ready. The table for the eternal Marriage stands ready. The angels are on post. Everyone is rejoiced and enthusiast! Oh what a joy it will be when I come for My Bride! I want you to encourage each other with these Words. It is only the Grace of My Father Who holds the sound of the trumpet. Millions of people are still lost.”

In all those years, I have received many confirmations whenever the Holy Spirit talked to me, through the Bible, books or other people's testimony, preaching or teachings. My only goal is to be completely obedient to Him. My days are completely for Him, as I don't go to work. I keep praying for everyone I witness to, take daily communion, just spent all my time for and with the Lord. Thank you for taking the time to read all this, so you know my walk with Him is serious. May the Lord bless you all!

You can find more information out about me (Susan Davis) and my relationship with the LORD by checking out the following websites: http://end-times-prophecy.com/blog/


IMPORTANT NOTE: I am very serious about these warnings from the LORD and these testimonies so I wanted to include the following Bible verses that talk about those who speak falsely for the LORD—this is to let you know that we take this very seriously and we understand the gravity of these messages. We know how the LORD feels about people who speak on HIS behalf falsely and I wanted to point out that these messages are not contrived or made up and attributed to GOD falsely. These are very serious messages from the LORD and not to be taken lightly—so here are the verses that we have read and we confirm that we understand and know them well:
Matthew 7:15-20: A Tree and Its Fruit "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

Matthew 24:24: For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the Elect—if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time.

1 John 4:1-3: Test the Spirits Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

Jeremiah 14:14-16 Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets are prophesying lies in My Name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds. Therefore, this is what the LORD says about the prophets who are prophesying in My Name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, 'No sword or famine will touch this land.' Those same prophets will perish by sword and famine. And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword. There will be no one to bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out on them the calamity they deserve.

Jeremiah 23:16 This is what the LORD Almighty says:
"Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.


Vision from the Lord MAURICE SKLAR


Vision from the Lord
MAURICE SKLAR
The Lord: "…My daughter. My Father has all Might and Power. Everything lies in the Hands of My Father. Don't worry about the day, nor the hour. The Rapture was planned for this year 2010. But the Grace of My Father is Big. But there comes a day and an hour. There comes a day and an hour. Do not worry about this fact."

Later the Lord said: "Write it down My daughter. The Rapture will happen before the Great Tribulation, this is in My Word and it stands firm. I have all time under My control. I am God, I know what I am doing."

God s Promises of Prosperity

God s Promises of Prosperity
We have factual evidence of God’s prosperity throughout the Scriptures, from the very beginning.
Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden where “the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone” (Genesis 2:12). God provided him a place filled with precious stones and abundance. We can only imagine what that choice real estate would be worth in today’s market. Adam hardly lived in poverty!

Noah “found grace in the eyes of the Lord” (Genesis 6:8), and was used to build a vast vessel to save his family and two of “every living thing of all flesh” (verse 19). It was constructed from gopher wood to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. That’s at least 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high! The world had to wait until AD 1884, when the Italian liner Eturia was built, before the ark’s size was exceeded by any sailing vessel. Constructing an ark that size could cost an estimated $25-70 million today. Plus, Noah filled the ark with provisions for all who entered. That’s prosperity by any measure!

God promised Abraham, “I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing” (Genesis 12:2). How can you bless the world unless you are blessed? Abraham certainly was, to the point that he became “very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold” (Genesis 13:2). And can you imagine how much it cost to feed, clothe, and house his 400 workers?
We are even told that when Abraham’s nephew was taken captive, “he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan” (Genesis 14:14). That is a big, prosperous house to have that many trained warriors ready and waiting for battle.

Abraham’s son Isaac grew up knowing great prosperity, and he continued to build on that legacy, to the point that the Lord blessed and increased Isaac even during famine (Genesis 26:1-4). We are told:
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. (Genesis 26:12-14)

Both of Isaac’s sons, Jacob and Esau, knew great prosperity! Even when Jacob’s father-in-law, Laban, sought to deceive and cheat him, Jacob’s wealth increased, in the thousands of livestock animals and possessions, to the point that when he returned to the land of Canaan and reunited with Esau, they both had to keep their flocks and followers separate because “their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle” (Genesis 36:7).

Jacob’s family was so wealthy that when they went to buy food from Egypt, they had enough money to sustain them through the famine that gripped the entire region.
And Jacob’s son Joseph, though sold into slavery, eventually became so prosperous in Egypt he was second in standing only to Pharaoh. Joseph was so wealthy that he was able to send his father and family a caravan of goods, even offering an entire region of Egypt, the land of Goshen, for all of Jacob’s family to dwell in.

Prosperity for God’s people is seen throughout the Bible!

David had incredible riches and honor. His son Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom (2 Chronicles 9:22). Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance (2 Chronicles 17:5). Hezekiah had exceeding riches, treasuries, and storehouses (2 Chronicles 32:26-28).
Prosperity is God’s gift, and it can happen today as it happened then. We know that “God is no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34).
We also know that God desires that His children live in supernatural abundance: “Thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is He that giveth thee Power to get wealth, that He may establish His Covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” (Deuteronomy 8:18).

Divine prosperity is God’s will for every believer!   
 All we must do to receive God’s blessings and abundance is to obey Him: “Keep therefore the Words of this Covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do” (Deuteronomy 29:9).

The Lord wants to deliver His people from all bondage and all debt, and only as His people seek and obey Him will liberty from bondage come our way: “I Love them that love Me; and those that seek Me early shall find Me. Riches and honor are with Me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.… That I may cause those that love Me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures” (Proverbs 8:17-18, 21).


God’s Word is clear that He takes pleasure in our prosperity! He rejoices when we prosper: “Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor My Righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of His servant” (Psalm 35:27).

Visions from the Dallas TX Revival 4th Letter

Visions from the Dallas TX Revival (May-June, 1985)
MAURICE SKLAR
These are the visions I received from the Holy Spirit during the Dallas, TX Revival in the summer of 1985.

4th Letter September 2010:
Time is short. The times are progressing—it can’t be stopped. I will deliver My people.
Write it down. Cling to Me—depend on Me. Nothing else will deliver you. I am coming soon. The world will see My wrath very soon. Nothing will save the ones who disobey. They cannot be saved if they turn from Me. The hour is short, so short you can see the times changing rapidly. It will be dark, so dark for those who refuse Me. I am their only Hope. People must see I am their only Hope. Come to Me at this hour. There is little time left.

Destruction, darkness is coming to the earth. This hour is bleak, so bleak. So dark—people must run to Me. I will save them—I Love them. They don’t listen. I am their only Hope, Salvation. I am their Salvation.

Write it down daughter, sister, My bride. Come down now. Lay down your weapons of destruction; weapons of the tongue; evil thoughts. The world will never be the same. All will be black. They will know, and they will see it is Me. My Salvation is their only Hope. I will break the tide. I will come for My people—those who truly love Me and repent of their evil ways. Justice will be served.

You will know I am God. Time is short. Your King is coming on blinding white doves—beauty indescribable, Heavenly beauty. The dawn will break over the horizon. And My beauty is splendid, breathtaking for those who are ready. Today you choose. The choice is yours. I lay it before you: life or death. The choice is easy but you make it hard.

I Love My children. My children know My Voice. I am calling them to come Home. Come Home to a safe Kingdom. Land of milk and honey—honey that drips—wine that tastes sweet. It is theirs for the taking if they surrender their hearts to Me. I am a gentle loving God, kind, a Deliverer. I am strong, a Strong Tower supporting them.

It will be time for Me to come and I won’t hesitate to move when it is time to get the bride. I won’t hesitate. My moniker is love. I Love My bride. She is waiting. I know My bride. I know who waits. Only those who wait will be ready and taken. I know My people’s hearts. Some make Me very sad.

The hearts that they are ready, they will be the ones I deliver. This is not hard, for this is Truth. Have I not said it in My Word. My Word is clear and uncomplicated. I would rather you be hot or cold but you are not and I must spit you out. These words are serious. It has been said by Me before nothing is new. The world drifts from Me.

Time is short. The plagues will begin. My people have no idea what it will be like. Life will never be the same. The hour is coming—choose life or death: simple choice. This is My Word to My people from My messenger. I use My messenger to give My Words.
The beauty of My Love cannot be measured or comprehended. Men do not know what they are rejecting. This world offers them nothing but pain and suffering.
I am coming. Time is short. They will know I am God. Time is short. When I deliver My people they will see that I am LORD. It will happen quickly. I come and then evil will rage. Soon the world will need to choose life or death…they must choose Me if they want to live. I give all for them. Didn’t I die? They are disillusioned by this world. How am I to reach them? I only have to plead. They think I am a GOD who won’t follow through with what I have to say. But My Word is true. It will happen. They will be amazed. Only those who are ready will go, My precious ones who love Me. I love them and they will never see destruction. Warn them sister, My bride.

This is your LORD. Time is short. Time is running out. The clock is ticking. I must come soon. Life will never be the same. Choose Glory or Destruction. You have the power to choose. Life is in your hands. I will not wait forever on My people. This is serious. The world will stop. The destiny of the world is death. If you stay you will die. If you leave—you must leave with Me. You must choose life or death. I come quickly. My hour is near—the hour I retrieve My Bride. She is ready. All is ready. The hour is close at hand. Be ready. Look for Me. I cannot wait much longer for a doubting generation. Only the pure of heart will see My face—My beautiful face. My heart is broken for those who will be lost.


Save yourselves, turn and surrender. The hour is close at hand. All will be dark soon, but the Bride will be safely put away. Be the Bride: turn, repent, come to Me. I am gentle. I am kind. My Words are soft and tender. I am a gentle God. My people see—My people know I am Love. I spare no expense for My children. Love is my moniker. This world is going to die out soon. Soon it will all be over. Repent while you still can. Please come to Me—I am waiting. These are your last opportunities. You choose: life or death.

THE BOOK OF DANIEL Part 9

THE BOOK OF DANIEL

Part 9
Daniel’s Vision of the Antichrist
“The little horn” that came up from among the horns in Daniel 8, is the antichrist, and the three horns plucked out, are 3 kingdoms (or kings) that will be defeated by him in war. In this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man. And it speaks pompous words. (ref. Dan.8:9; Rev. 13:5, 6).
“The little horn which grew exceedingly great,” grew toward the South [the Arab States], the East [nations of the Eastern bloc] and the Glorious Land [the Beautiful Land]—Israel (Dan.8:9).
Verse 10 reveals a “mystical-plot” of this “little horn” which rose out of littleness and small beginnings. It rose even against “the host of Heaven,” which in this context are “the tribulation saints” as revealed in several Bible prophecies.
And it waxed great, even to the host of Heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Dan 8:10 KJV

According to Daniel’s vision of “the little horn” an host [GOD’s people] was given to the wicked horn [the antichrist] together with the daily sacrifice [the continual burnt offering] because of rebellion—the transgression of GOD's people — their abounding irreverence, and ungodliness. And righteousness and truth were cast down to the ground, “the little horn” [the antichrist] accomplished this by divine permission and prospered [vv. 11-12].
Watch very closely, in Daniel 7:21 there are Christians who will be killed by the antichrist—he will make war against them and prevail. But on the other hand, there are saints who are called and chosen to fight in The Lord’s battle against “the beast”, and they will be faithful to the Call (see Rev 17:14).
He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.
Rev 13:7 NIV

Shortly, after the time of the Great Tribulation, God will vindicate His people who though missed the Rapture, but kept their testimony and faith unto The Lord, even to the point of death. In fact, then, The Lord of Hosts would have to intervene just at the end of the 3 ½ years distress in the world. If not for His intervention, no soul would have been saved—none could have been redeemed any longer!
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
Dan 7:21-22 KJV

Understand that the interpretation of “the little horn” is stated in chapter 8 verses 23 to 25.
"In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a stern-faced king, a master of intrigue, will arise. He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men and the holy people. He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.
NIV

Prophet Daniel prophesied an occurrence that will take place, which will signify the rise of the antichrist on a global scene—he will rise to power when: “the transgressors are come to the full.”
He is the king that will rise “having fierce features (countenance),” who understands sinister schemes.
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences,
shall stand up.
Dan 8:23 KJV

He shall destroy fearfully (extraordinarily).
He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men and the holy people.
Dan 8:24 NIV

The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time (7:25).
In his cunningness, will cause deceit to prosper. He will magnify himself (8:25). Chapter 11 verse 36 states that he shall prosper and thrive. He will declare himself to be God—“when the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed" (12:7). He will be destroyed, but not by human power (8:25). Right from the days of the ancient, “the mighty are removed without human hand” (see Job 34:20).
Daniel fainted and was sick, after he had these visions (8:27).
In Daniel's Vision of the Ram and Goat in chapter 8 verse 5, the beast's kingdom rose as "he goat" over the nations of the earth. The “he goat” with a prominent horn between its eyes came from the west on the face of the whole earth; crossing the whole earth without touching the ground.
This is exactly how the antichrist will seize power:
"He will be succeeded by a contemptible person who has not been given the honor of royalty. He will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure, and he will seize it through intrigue.”
Dan 11:21NIV

This “little horn” which came up among three of the first had eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth that spoke boastfully (7:8). He shall pervert and seduce many with flatteries, but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits (11:32).
He will present himself as a god to the nations, and claim to be above all the idols of all the religions in the world.
He will show no respect for the gods his ancestors worshipped, or for the god women worship — he won’t show respect for any god, because he will consider himself greater than all of them.
Dan 11:37 CJB

The Bible reveals that “the antichrist will be a “Jew” and will posses knowledge of Jewish custom and Hebrew. He will be a rebel—he will come out of the midst of rebels—he will rise from the midst of ‘the apostate Jews.’
And at the latter end of their kingdom, when the transgressors [the apostate Jews] have reached the fullness [of their wickedness, taxing the limits of God's mercy], a king of fierce countenance and understanding dark trickery and craftiness shall stand up.
Dan 8:23 AMP

He will be a “king of terror”—a mastermind of terrorism (Dan. 11:40-43; Isa.21:1).
Daniel 11:36-45 is “Prophecy of the vile king”—the antichrist.
Daniel 12:1 speaks of “the Great Tribulation”—figuratively, “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7).
‘The horn with eyes’ that will make war against the saints is “the beast out of the sea” in Revelation 13:7.

Both “the fiery red dragon” in Revelation 12 and “the beast out of the sea” in chapter 13 have ten horns with seven heads and seven crowns.

This is how the formation of the beast government will be: it will be of two segments; one strong and the other, unstable.
Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay.
As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.
Dan 2:41-43 NIV

“The iron part” of this empire will be Germanic, and “the clay part” Western. Its political and economic influence will thrive as both earthen and maritime accomplishments. But it will all come to a total ruin and desolation.
"Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking. I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.
Dan 7:11 NIV

The meaning of the fourth beast with ‘teeth of iron’ and ‘nails of bronze’ is written in verse Daniel 7:19
"Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze claws — the beast that crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left.
NIV

As the kingdoms and empires of the world are uniting to form a ‘one world government’, only those among the people who have discernment will cause the rest of the people to understand what is happening—even as they are challenged by sword, famine, plunder, captivity and death (Dan 11:33).

Both Prophet Daniel and Apostle Paul in their days saw the defeat and total destruction of “the beast.”
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
Dan 7:11 KJV

And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 19:20 KJV

The Lamb of God Who will Return to the earth as ‘King of kings and Lord of lords’ will ultimately vanquish the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.
They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings — and with Him will be His called, chosen and faithful followers."
Rev 17:14 NIV

The antichrist will come to his terrible end (Dan.11:45; Rev 19:20).
