A Blueprint for Dedication

In this crucial time, God calls for an intensified commitment from us to His divine plans. We find ourselves amidst warnings presented in various forms, hinting at the impending developments both in our nation and within the church. Coupled with these warnings is the relay of a celestial strategy to surmount the many challenges that lie ahead. It is vital to remember that, while we heed this guidance, other prophetic voices are also receiving vital insights regarding the spiritual mandates currently at the forefront. As emphasized in my earlier writings and teachings, we should not succumb to fear.

1 John 4:18 - There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

Despite the distressing events unfolding in our nation, we can maintain a stance of peace and security by ardently adhering to the pathways outlined by the Lord. Our daily news cycles report grim occurrences nationwide, including the emergence of fearsome viruses and plagues becoming a staple in our daily discourse. Despite this, we who trust in the Lord and His protective power can remain unshaken, steering clear of undue anxiety spurred by incessant tales of devastation.

The Psalmist King David reassured us:

Psalms 27:1-3 - The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.

We find ourselves in a time where many chosen by God for an end-time mission of significance are encountering the spirit of death. The adversary harbors plans to erase individuals destined for critical end-time roles and ministries. Yet, I have been granted visions of divine interventions safeguarding many from the grips of death. The scripture delineates the predatory nature of our adversary, who relentlessly seeks to wreak havoc. Yet, history and scriptures prove the consistent defeat of such forces when faced with individuals chosen to foster restoration and reconciliation between God and humanity.

I am mandated by God to reach out to those who have faced near-death experiences, ensuring they understand the divine intervention in their lives, saved for a significant impending purpose. They are to walk in their spiritual destiny, backed by a heavenly mandate, fortified by divine protection. God ardently desires to see the fulfillment of the destiny He has crafted for this generation.

Consecration and Protection through the Blood

In times past, Moses followed divine instruction, safeguarding the Israelites from the pervasive spirit of death during Egypt’s judgments by applying blood to the doorposts. Similarly, we are encouraged to seek the Lord’s protective promise, trusting in this scriptural model.

As I envisioned myself imparting blessings of dedication and protection through a symbolic gesture of laying hands on individuals, I understood this practice should extend to families, with parents providing spiritual coverage to their family members in the roles of home priests, as emphasized in the words of Apostle Peter:

1 Peter 1:1-2 - Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To God’s elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.

In our ministry journeys, entrusting our families into God’s care, especially when distances separate us, often proves challenging. Yet, akin to Joseph presenting his sons to Jacob, we must dedicate our family to the Lord’s wisdom and protection, assured that adherence to God’s will provides the safest haven for our loved ones.

The Assurance of Divine Shielding

As we approach a pivotal season, we hold tightly to the divine promise of shielding, reminiscent of Israel’s safeguarding in Goshen while God executed His judgment upon Egypt. This period marks a fresh start for God’s people, denoting transformation and a paradigm shift as we witness awe-inspiring wonders manifesting in our times.

Commitment to Heavenly Destiny

In our present day, we are embarking on a journey of understanding the relationship with the cloud of witnesses and the significant revelations the Holy Spirit is unveiling concerning those who precede us. Despite the pain that comes with losing a loved one, we take solace in knowing that their sacrifices pave the way for a fruitful spiritual harvest, as highlighted in the book of Hebrews:

Hebrews 12:1-2 - Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

As we navigate these pressing times, we are comforted with the knowledge that we are part of a grand tapestry woven through centuries of sacrificial lives devoted to God, a mystery of the Kingdom that harmonizes prayers and sacrifices with divine interventions, fulfilling God's grand narrative as illustrated in Revelation:

Revelations 8:3-5 - Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

In this grand orchestration, the ones who have passed on, including those seemingly taken before their time, will witness and partake in the fruition of end-time ministries that are on the verge of unfolding, providing a testament to the incredible power and grace that awaits us from heavenly realms, and underscoring our shared divine destiny.

Escalating Threats: Terrorism and Global Crises

As we grapple with rising instances of terrorism and the emergence of new viruses and plagues, it is incumbent upon us to recognize that we are potentially at the threshold of even more challenging times. The trajectory suggests an escalation in the forthcoming period, a realization that necessitates steadfast vigilance and preparation.

In response to these looming threats, we consistently urge the Church to immerse itself in prayer and intercession, seeking to diminish these dangers through collective spiritual endeavor. Yet, we acknowledge a critical juncture reached in our nation, influenced by judicial decisions and our stance on Israel. It seems a predetermined path has been set, one not of hopelessness, but of a hope grounded in divine justice and chastening, fostering a potential ground for
