There's Something About Prophecy!
There's something about prophecy, especially from a biblical perspective which makes me wonder why people do not pay attention.
Throughout the bible, we are told of coming events--with such detailed accuracy that we could not possibly mistake what we are told. From the prophets in the Old Testament through Jesus and John, all the consequences of sin and disobedience are detailed and even though like then--people didn't believe what was told to them--events came to pass just like they were told.
If we look back at what Jesus said would happen and understand what John tells us in Revelation, we would have no need to wonder why the relentless weather patterns are what they are. And still we do not change our behavior. The mockers are still mocking God's Word and other believers; believers are selectively choosing what and who to believe, and the unsaved masses are still waiting for those of us who know God and have a relationship with Him to share the good news with them.
Some years ago, while watching the news and unfolding current events, I believe the Lord spoke to my heart and unveiled a prophetic event, which can be seen coming to pass right now. While I do not claim to be a prophet, I do hear and obey God and I know when He is speaking versus the enemy trying to influence my thoughts. Those thoughts about what is happening now and what will happen by 2020 are written in my book, Turning Force, available on Amazon and Smashwords. I know, like many people who lived before me, there are those who will not take heed to what is said and will scoff at the contents. We won't know until 2020 how accurate the prophecy will be, but much can be seen right now. People will have to read it for themselves to determine the final outcome. I won't tell all that was shown to me.
While they are scoffing at the words of one who hears God and obeys, they might want to remember all of those things that were prophesied about the Children of Israel--the good and the bad when they disobeyed--and know that God is not mocked. What He says will come to pass, will come--on His time-table--not ours. A prophetic word is usually given to allow people time to change their ways--it's a heads-up warning. When people do not change their course of action, God will honor His Word, no matter who gives it.
Perhaps, it is time for all of us to re-visit the prophecies given in the Bible and align them with the events we have seen with our own eyes throughout history and see what we must do. God is still using people to warn us about events. I'm not referencing those who deliberately lie--the doomsday prophets who trick people into doing all manner of foolish things. Their lies are eventually exposed every time they open their mouths. We know who they are--they made the headlines and then simply disappeared from the public after repeated humiliation when their lies were exposed.
A true prophecy will not deter from anything God has already said.
When the end comes--we will have no need to store and hoard anything--it will be the end.
If we have not already determined where we will spend eternity--today would be a good day to do so. According to God's Word, not mine--we must make a decision to choose Jesus and make heaven our home for eternity.
Repent from sins (according to God's definition of sin, not mine or anyone else's), Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, today and love Him enough to live for Him, since He loved us enough to die for us. If you do this--heaven will be yours for all eternity.

Battlerama Super Tweens On The Side (excerpt)
“We’re going to have to take them to
Botcha-ku,” said Natony. “He’ll know what to do.”
“Yeah, but will he do it to them or to
us,” Bodak said. “He’s going to be really po’d about this.”
“Well, he can be ticked off all he
wants to be. We have done our part. Now it is up to him to finish it,” Ariak
chimed in. Her green eyes bore down on Kiara as if she thought that would make
Kiara speak, but it didn’t.
“Okay,” Ramar said, “let’s just move
them out.”
“I know you don’t trust us,” she said
to the huddled group, “but we really are trying to get you back to your side of
reality. We won’t try to touch you again, but you must follow us and do it
quickly.”
Anthony was the first to move and he
signalled the others to walk behind him in single file. They moved out as one
column, looking neither to the left or to the right, their hands down by their
side. When they reached the outer boundaries of So-Shun Forest, the trees
parted for them to enter and then closed ranks behind them. The six said
nothing, they simply kept moving forward.
Suddenly, Ramar stopped. “Wait here,”
she said. “This is as far as we go.”
She clapped her hands in a quick,
rhythmic way and a building rose from the ground, covered with tree leaves of
all sorts of colors. Before the door opened, she stepped back and signalled the
others to do the same. When the door opened, Botcha-ku walked out and stared at
them.
“Have you accomplished your mission?”
he asked Ramar.
“We have obtained powers, but one got
away and we were unable to touch their pendants.”
Botcha-ku took a pendant from around
his neck, but before he could do anything with it, the flying carpet of leaves
appeared overhead. Everyone looked up, but they could not see anyone on it.
When Irot, Tori’s alter flew about the flying carpet, she was exposed to the
metallic top and fell to the ground. Just about the time, Tori hit the ground,
the drink the six had earlier wore off and all of their powers were restored to
normal, but the alters had to be defeated.
When Botcha-ku realized the Six had
their powers, he ordered the others into a fighting stance and they were about
to ignite a fight, but the carpet of leaves turned over and they were all
exposed to the metallic surface, and they felt the power drained from them.
Now, all they could do was to fight—yam-yam-style.
Maria signalled the Six not to use any
of their powers in front of Botcha-ku as long as he was holding onto that
pendant. The Six fought the seven like they had never fought before. There were
twirling kicks, and high-flying kicks, and jabs and punches, and twists and
twirls like they had never seen before.
“Blossom!” Anthony called. The six
stood back-to-back, turning clock-wise or counter-clockwise without ever
missing a beat. Since the seven alters could not break the line of the six,
they were soon defeated; especially when Maria started working on their minds.
When Botcha-ku saw what was happening, he attempted to run back into the
building, but Shane was faster and blocked his way.
“Either we all go back or none go
back,” he threatened, Botcha-ku.
The seven attempted to rise up again,
but this time, Derek pulled up a tree and leveled them before they could do anything.
“Now, stay there,” he admonished, as he
piled another tree on top of them.
When Botcha-ku attempted to wave his
hand, Sutfol and some of the trodles appeared. Sutfol held Botcha-ku’s hands
together and the trodles pulled branches from the trees which he used to tied
his hands.
“Now,” Sutfol said. “You will kindly
allow our friends to go back to their reality or you, too will stay.”
“I will not,” Botcha-ku stammered.
“They will not return.”

Thanking God!
I've been up, literally all night!
When I impose deadlines on myself, I try like crazy to make it happen. I made it happen, but I'm also very tired.
I was not up all night wrapping gifts. I was up all night typing and revising, and revising my latest book in the Battlerama series. And the reason I was up all night? Tired and not paying attention. But I'm thanking God for being up with me. We had time to chat. He kept telling me that sometimes, I move a little too fast. When I do, I make mistakes and then spend much more time fixing the mistakes that I would not have made, if I hadn't moved so fast.
I got it! I really grateful that in the quiet times of the night, when I only hear the sounds of the keys clicking, that I can hear my Daddy speak to me. He is so good!
I already knew that this day would be a bit of a challenge, but I didn't know I'd face it without getting any sleep. If I hurry, I may get a nap in before others wake up. But while I wait for sleep to overtake me, I just wanted to let you know that I truly thank God for loving me so!
When you get a chance--check out the new book and see how Holy Spirit worked with me during the month of November for NaNoWriMo Challenge Battlerama Super Tweens On The Other Side! Let me know what you think of it. I'm grateful! https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/391582
Have a wonderful day celebrating and stay safe!
