Dear John,
I have included a copy of an email message I felt led to
send out to many in my church and community. As we celebrate
the First Coming of our Lord and Saviour, may we wait and
watch with joyful and expectant hearts for the Second Coming
of our Lord!
Love your sister in Christ,

Dear Doves,
I feel as though the Lord has been prompting me to share
some things that have been on my heart.
As we celebrate the First Coming of our Lord and Saviour,
Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach) it is also
important for us to remember that He is coming
again as promised in the Word of God!!!
I know we all have busy lives with many responsibilities,
duties and commitments. I struggle with being more of a
"Martha" than a "Mary." However, I am reminded by our sweet
Lord repeatedly to keep my eyes on Him! I believe there are
many signs around that we are living in the Last Days of
which Scripture speaks. As the Second Coming of Jesus nears,
it is important for us to understand the times and be
especially sensitive to the Holy Spirit and to listen for
God's voice. I am ashamed to say that I do not always obey
God's promptings immediately ~ mostly out of fear of what
others will think and out of fear of how others will react.
My desire is to be a God-pleaser and obedient to my Lord! Oh
how grateful I am for God's mercy, grace and forgiveness for
a sinner like me.
Out of obedience to our Lord, I feel led to share with
you that there are very difficult days ahead for America
(and the entire world). I have had what I truly believe were
prophetic dreams of things that will effect the USA in days
to come. I have been shown a devastating earthquake of
massive proportions, a tsunami, an attack by foreign troops
on American soil and "detention camps" also on American
soil. I have also had other dreams related to End Times. I
have never been given a "timetable" or dates. However, I do
believe that it will occur during my lifetime.
In the one dream, I remember feeling fearful initially
and panicked and then I began to pray and cry out to the
Lord and then peace descended upon me and I knew as long as
I placed my faith and trust in the Lord no matter what
happens, I would be okay!
Psalm 62:5-8
New International
Version (NIV)
5 Yes, my soul,
find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
6 Truly he is my
rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and
my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8 Trust in him at
all times, you people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
1 Thessalonians 5
1 Now, brothers and
sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to
you, 2 for you know very
well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in
the night. 3 While people are
saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them
suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they
will not escape.
4 But you, brothers
and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should
surprise you like a thief. 5 You are all
children of the light and children of the day. We do not
belong to the night or to the darkness. 6 So then, let us
not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake
and sober. 7 For those who
sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk
at night. 8 But since we
belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and
love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a
helmet. 9 For God did not
appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation
through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 He died for us so
that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together
with him. 11 Therefore
encourage one another and build each other up, just as in
fact you are doing.
As believers, we should not be "in the dark" regarding
the Second Coming of our precious Lord and Saviour! We are
children of the light and children of the day! Let us be
alert and aware, like the watchmen on the wall!
As we watch and wait for our Lord's return what shall we
do? We should continue to fufill our God-given roles as
husbands, wives, fathers, mothers... we should share the
Gospel message with the world... we should love our
neighbors... and most importantly we should strive to love
the Lord with all our heart, soul, strength & mind!
Joshua 22:5
New International
Version (NIV)
5 But be very
careful to keep the commandment and the law that Moses the
servant of the LORD gave you: to love the LORD your God,
to walk in obedience to him, to keep his commands, to hold
fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and with
all your soul.”
Luke 10:27
New International
Version (NIV)
27 He answered,
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with
all your soul and with all your strength and with all
your mind’;
and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
May the Lord bless each of you! May you rejoice in the
wonderful gift of redemption and grace provided by our
Saviour's First Coming. May you watch and wait with a
joyful and expectant heart for the Second Coming of our
precious Lord and Saviour.
Love your sister in Christ,
