A Nuclear War Came Without Any Warning and Took Down One City

Jeanne, the words you wrote here could have been written by me. I have said some of the these same thoughts to Bette.

Me too Jeanne, I know exactly what you mean. The Lord’s had me prepping for a while, but I’ve never had a dream or vision about what’s to come, and so a small part of me doubts sometimes, and I think to myself what I’m I doing all this for, but then also I don’t doubt all the visions and dreams people are having on here, and believe they are hearing from God (I’m in Scotland).

Me too Jeanne. I know exactly what you mean. I’ve never received a vision/dream about what’s to come, yet I’ve been prepping for a while. A small a part of me sometimes wonders what I am doing it all for, but at the same time I believe the dreams and visions I read on here are from God. (I’m in Scotland)

Oh Jeanne I am like you! I believe but I am not shown or told these things personally. I have faith that he will eventually because he gave me a quick and simple dream of water poured out. Which I understood as “I will pour out my spirit on all flesh.” I hold on to this promise and pray for more revelation. I have No One around me who believes what I believe, nada, zip. And how my heart breaks when even my pastor laughs about Obama as the antichrist. He quickly apologizes when I told him what I believe. But I understand, it is a lonely journey and it gets quite discouraging. But I will pray for us both and hold on to his promises which ring true.

Jeanne

I will definitely be praying……In the meantime,know that God in His time will position you or give you a word…..This does not mean that I or anyone who gets words or visisons are better or more spiritual.no, press in,seek Him and He will guide your path……Don’t be concerned because you seem not to have what others have,,that is not what is important,,,,,What is important is your relationship with God…Blessings
Keeping in mind that all of these things will pass one day.

Jeanne i was praying for you
You are soo beautiful
I seen a big candle inside You And with a flame burning bright

That is exactly how I am praying.

I’m right there with you hun…..As if I wrote the words myself! I often prayer for all Z3er’s, but now I will be praying that we ALL would receive his word. Blessings Sister!

Jeanne, I know where you are coming from. I recognize Truth also and I believe that is one of the gifts that God has given us. My problem is being bold enough to tell what I know and getting the right words to come out. I know the Holy Spirit will help me on this and He has been. I also want to thank Bette again. I have always considered myself a Christian but after reading Bette’s books I realized I have also been playing church. I have learned so much from this site on prayer, fasting, the Power of the Holy Spirit, and visions. Fasting and visions are not talked about very often in the church, only mentioned when read in the scripture reading for the day. The Holy Spirit is mentioned in the creeds but there is not a lot of emphasis on the Power of the Holy Spirit. And a sermon on prayer is not often. We say the Lord’s Prayer every Sunday and have a Pastor’s prayer but it is about the same every Sunday. After coming here and reading how so many have strong faith and listening to different Pastors who preach the Power of the Holy Spirit and how so many have fasted and prayed, I feel like a baby in the Christian faith. It isn’t just the church’s fault I was just playing church, I was not in God’s word like I should have been. But now I am growing in the faith again because God has opened my eyes. It has been a process. I just thank everyone here for all of their faith and their testimonies. Jeanne, we are here at this time and we know what we know for a reason. And Bette, thanks again, you are a blessing.

That’s also true, it hard to get people to be leave what they can’t see, so much have happened with the Christian faith that people start to believe in what they want to believe in because the world makes it hard for them to see the truth in Christian faith. Only if everybody would read and believe in what they read on the positive side of things then the world would be a better place. The world is not meant to last, the end of days would come regardless if we did good or bad, the devil is real so bad things going to happen rather we want to or not, our human form is no match for the devil and his army, he can control us without us even knowing until it’s done. That’s why we need to believe more in our Faith and trust. I have done things in my life that I am ashamed of and the Lord would not approve if it was the last thing I did but I never lost trust in the Lord because I believe in him, I believe all is true about him, I trust and love my lord but that alone will not stop sin, it deeper then that, u have to put your belief in your faith in the Lord, become one with with him, depart your self from the world because we are more then humans but we will never see more then we allow our self to believe.

Jeanne, I wanted to respond to you and say that having a fully functioning gift of discernment is critical and it sounds like you have it. I just said to my husband this morning that I am thankful that I haven’t had major dreams/visions like many others because I have to keep my spirit tuned in to listening and discerning truth from untruth. I have two ladies in mind that were told by the Lord about Obama being evil. One is Traci Shellman who’s visions were one of my favoirites and was told that Jesus was coming back while he was in office. Well, he didn’t tell her that Obama is the antichrist so I still don’t think she knows he is it. I think when the Lord gives someone a big piece of the puzzle it might be hard for them to “take in” that he didn’t tell them everything. Me and you and others have to totally rely on discernment to figure it out. I do not simply believe everything I read or hear but take it to the Lord for confirmation and listen closely to the inner witness of my spirit which is the main way I feel the Lord has blessed me. I am now feeling thankful for that fact because it keeps me on my toes!!! Please don’t hold back from warning others because the time is so short!! I know I am a watchman and warn all day long even though I am not a prophet. Blessings.

Jeanne and Un-Ji Yoo,
You are not alone in this. I also, don’t have dreams and visions. I had only one dream and it was about Obama. I have been awake since 2008 but it wasn’t until 2013 that I went through hard times like never before in my life that I started to give my life to the Lord. Since then all I want is to praise, pray, and obey him. I have learned to listen, pray and talk to him with the help of the Holy Spirit. I have try to help others to wake up many times, many different ways and they don’t believe me. All I can do now is keep praying to The Lord to open their eyes before is too late. It’s hard breaking to see they are asleep. One day I felt the Holy Spirit grief on me so much it was very painful. I felt his grief on me for several days. My husband believes in the rapture but he doesn’t believe we are so close to it. Makes me sad 🙁
God bless Z3!

Add Ephesians 1 and Jeremiah 33:3 to your prayers each night. It may be Jeremiah 33:3-4, “Thus sayeth the Lord, the maker there of, the Lord who formed it and established it, the Lord is his name. Call on me and I will show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not”.

Dear Jeanne, I will be praying for you! I believe you will receive it when it is the perfect time! Blessings!

Oh Jeanne you are in the same boat as me! I get revelations through the study of the Word but have yet to receive these dreams and visions even though I pray and long for them. Maybe one day God will grant me the desire of my heart, He is no respecter of persons. Meanwhile I can rejoice with the brothers and sisters who are receiving these revelations through dreams and visions.

Greetings Peggy A. This a word from above given by a young Warrior of our Lord Jesus Christ, older generations would do well to heed this. Jehovah is raising up an army of young people globally to help in the fulfilment of His work upon this earth. Shalom.

We need RULES……
HEAVEN’S RULES, because HEAVEN RULES.

True freedom is in Jesus Christ in and following His Rules, because HE RULES.

SGD,

If you find yourself being drawn away from the things of the world to the things of God, then I would presume that the Holy Spirit is already doing a transformative work in you. I am not a woman, but I can relate to your experience because I too seem “out-of-step” with the world for some of my relatives and friends.

But SGD, this is not meant to judge or become conceited. I believe there are many of us who are being refined by the Spirit even if we cannot see it with our natural eyes. We may all very well be at different stages of the transformation.

Give thanks to God for the good work he is doing in you. And pray for the rest of your brothers and sisters that they too may be transformed.

Yeah, it’s vanity.
I don’t mind nice clothes, if I get them for free (haha) but women in the church can be conceited and narcissistic.
I hate worse when it’s pastors wives that are like that!
I hate seeing a pastors wives that only cares about fashion and being cliquey.
It’s not a club it’s supposed to be the body of Christ!

sgd,
For what it is worth…I left Corporate America a few years back and went through a transformation of getting back to my true self. Part of that process was leaving the make-up, hair, jewelry and fancy clothes behind.
My time in corporate America taught and showed me a number of things. The people I used to work with were very into “appearances,” which not only included your personal appearance but also the vehicle you drove and where you lived. This world was very cold and all about money, power and greed. I used to have to put on a suit of armor to go through the door everyday. I came to despise the fakeness.
Think about the old phrasing of a woman putting on her makeup being referred to as “putting on their face.” Why do you need to put on a fake face and spray your hair to stay in a position it otherwise would not stay. Will there be makeup in Heaven? Or fancy clothes, cars and homes? Or will you be naked before the Lord? Why not start getting comfortable and accepting of your true self before that day? Genesis 1:27 “So God created mankind in his own image.” Did God wear makeup or do his hair to make himself more presentable?
Just a thought. I left it all behind and love not having the hassle. Now when you see me you see my true self.

sgd, the exact same thing has been happening to me for a year and a half!! Hardly any of your make-up, no jewelry….no interest in the world! Hallelujah!

sgd, please have a look at Kerry-Ann Gidden’s post on her face book yesterday. She was saying exactly the same thing! God is up to something people. He or she who has ears, let him or she hear what the Spirit of God is saying.

I feel the same. I was selling jewlery and bags through a home based business and I suddenly became very convicted and disgusted with what I was promoting. I quit selling and basically quit wearing the jewlery all together. I have donated most of it to charities to sell. I have also cut down on the amount of makeup, wear less provocative/expensive clothing, etc…

We are fairly well off and live in a small community with lots of rich people and lots of people struggling. I feel like I have made it my mission to prove that money will not define me, that it is acceptable to show your flaws, show that I’m just another human being, that you can have friends outside your social class, etc…

sgd

Stay in tune with the Lord,His steps are perfecting you in this hour…….Allow Him to take all things from the flesh….This is a process and does require change.

You aren’t alone. I have been feeling tired of and quite frankly disgusted by material things. I’ve started selling a lot of my “stuff” on ebay.

David killed Goliath with a slingshot. He was anointed and approved by God. He was in a war situation and the only one that could bring Goliath down. This was not sin for David to kill Goliath according to the Word of God. Jesus said to have the weapon of the day. Jesus instructed us to sell our coat if we don’t have a weapon. People misinterpret God’s Word and I understand why, because I had trouble with this too until l prayed and asked the Lord about it and then He began to reveal the truth of his word to me on it. It is not sinful to defend your family or your life if someone is raping you or your family or trying to murder you. Dying a Martyrs death is much different. This is being persecuted for Christ and being willing to die and lay down your life in light of that persecution. A martyr dies for the Lord Jesus Christ. Pray about it for yourself and ask for His answers. He will give you peace and He is the best to explain His own Word and what He means by different passages that He wrote. I was very thoughtful about this and actually defended the other side believing we would go to Hell for self defense and murdering someone. i truly struggled with all of the scriptures listed. I just prayed and asked Him for clarity and peace and I have it. I hope this helps anyone struggling with this. Bette’s dream was from God and there was a reason she felt that and was impressed with having a gun. -But like I said , I know the struggle you most definitely need peace from God on this for yourself, not just by hearing from someone… Read more »

Turning the other cheek is about dignity under Roman authority. Being slapped on the face was to show that you had, in the eyes of the violator, done something stupid. To slap a face involves using your hand to strike. Turning the face means the violator has to use the back of their hand now, which is awkward. It shows the victim is in control of their emotions and has self respect.

Taking up the sword is about going into the army for a career. You could well get killed.

Ask the Lord if and how you should arm yourself. It is a good exercise in learning to hear His voice.
I won’t arm because I am not physically able to use such tools. So God answered that question.
Cannot run , either.
Praise God!

Mem, I very much appreciate your insight and Katie’s reply. I have been going over this same question in my head. It came up when I was listening to a new Pastor/Teacher that I had never listened to before. I prayed that the Lord would give me discernment that I may know if this teacher is of God. Not more than 2-3 mins after praying this prayer the speaker started saying that Christians are not to take up arms. I believe the way Katie believes and I think the Lord was warning me again against ANOTHER false teacher. I see the message by many Main Stream Pastors, ‘submit to your government’ and ‘don’t arm yourself.’ Satan wants us to be sitting ducks. We can’t say we weren’t warned- There will be many false teachers in the last days, do not be deceived.

Matthew 24;43 know this, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come,he would have watched and not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Rom_13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
God has ordained that government is suppose to protect the public and deal harshly with criminals. If the police are not there to protect you and yours then you better be prepared to do it yourself as in Matthew 24;43.
If the government comes to take me to the guillotine I will go happly singing praises to the King. If a marauder comes with ill intent I will not allow my house to be broken into.

great insight Mem. I believe many of us on this website are watchmen and future harvesters. the harvest is plenty and the workers are few. Satan will be after us as we will be the biggest threat to his success. the Lord will certainly be providing His divine protection as He sees fit. There will clearly be confrontation in both the spiritual and physical realm. I would presumably think that the Lord would want us protecting ourselves spiritually and physically to continue our role as harvesters. Afterall, there is a war coming and Wars usually require fighting and casualties on both sides. The question is what weapons are we to use in this war. Spiritual. Physical or a combination of both. I want to say both…but I dont know.

Mem, this article argues from the Bible for the just use of force in defending oneself. I think you will find it helpful.

Wow, I see that others are troubled about defending themselves. I, too, have been struggling with this? I think, “What would Jesus do?” Of course he told Peter to put down his sword after he cut off the ear—and Jesus healed it. But what do we do? Jesus did that so nothing would prevent Him giving His life, I suppose. What about us? We have a family, someone breaks in with weapons, we have weapons—what to do? I live by myself, and I decided maybe I wound them—they are still alive, then hopefully they can’t do any more damage. This is an extremely pertinent question, and I hope someone here has wisdom from GOD.

I agree many here are already aware of the end time significance of Ester. Always a great read. Well at the end. King Xerxes couldn’t repeal the law he made that all of Babylon could kill the Jews. But he made a provision for the that they could defend themselves. I pray with all my heart I never take a life. But I do ask God about that stuff and that’s what I’ve gotten read all of Esther 8. But to the point. 8:11

I need more time to seek The Lord on this matter but from what I have already gathered through research, is that using a gun for self defense is a human solution to a spiritual problem. I believe that in the passage about selling a cloak to buy a sword was simply for Jesus to fulfill the Isaiah prophecy to be “counted with the transgressors”. Jesus rebuked violence and immediately healed the ear that was sliced off by the sword that was swung. I see a lot of people state that scripture and believe that’s what the message is but i don’t get the feeling that is the message when we read the context of the whole passage. I could be wrong but I believe my gift is strong discernment and hyper sensitivity to right and wrong. I think self defense as far as the 2nd amendment goes is a man given law. Think of it this way…. Would you break any of the commandments to preserve your life? Would you give allegiance to a foreign god to preserve your life? Now if I understand correctly, though shalt not murder is clear in that there is intentional and unintentional killing. Intentional is premeditated murder. If someone comes to your house to kill you, and you reach for a gun to “defend” or preserve your life, you have already decided to kill or be killed which is premeditated murder. On the mount of olives, Jesus explained that He could petition The Father to send 12 legions of angels… Plus, there was only 2 swords. So it doesn’t seem to fit the self defense scenario because there was 12 disciples. Anyone have any insight to add? I am still torn on this so….

If someone tries to hurt me or my family (even someone I care about) to the point of sustaining serious bodily injury or death…they better be prepared to be seriously injured themselves, die or at least never walk again. That’s all I’ll say on the matter.

I will pray for you, Tim.

will pray for you Tim. I do not know why lately people take such offense when they hear anything about or from the Bible but that is what I see. blessings.

God bless you, Tim. Am praying that you get the work at home position and get favor from your bosses, in the Name of Jesus! Amen!

Tim
You are a light or witness to those in darkness…….God will renew your strength and position you………I went through this and so did my husband…….Sometimes God has us minister where we are and it is hard…..but it also develops our character……GBU

Martin,amen,but the Lord has been telling me and for all servant ,messengers prophets etc to pay close attention to detail……GBU
