Keeping Your Sanity
While Praying in Your Garden of Gethsemane

As these events around us start to unfold, we can expect to be bombarded from all angles.  We must brace ourselves for this forthcoming onslaught by strengthening our relationship with Jesus through prayer and praise on a level NONE of us have ever embraced in our lives.  The time to get started is now.  If you wait until things get really dark, you may have a very hard time “pulling yourself up” from despair.  It is a demonic trap and NOW is the time to “stir up your spirit”.  NOW is the time to build your “Force Field of Praise”.

Frankly I hate to consider this but it is possible that we all shall face the plight of Job himself.  Imagine the agony Job went through.  Personally I don’t know how well I am going to do.  We really need to start working on building up ourselves on a powerful spiritual level as soon as possible to prepare for getting battered heavily.

I have an 8 year old step son.  He is accustom to eating food he likes.  If he doesn’t like the food being served he cries and refuses to eat it.  I wonder what it will be like for us all when we don’t get the metaphorical “food” we like or want or think we should have.  Are we prepared to live in the streets?  Are we prepared to become homeless and hold up a sign that says JESUS IS COMING, GET READY?  What is your “breaking point”?  When do you fold your cards?  Are you capable of remaining THAT strong?

Staring at the Devil Too Much

Folks you simply cannot stare at the devils’ work so much.  The balance in your life must lean heavily to PRAISE of your Lord Jesus Christ.  I get frequent emails from people who have done TOO MUCH research.  They dwell on YouTube and the stare at the devil’s work in progress.  This has an eroding effect on your mind and “spirit”.  This opens doors for demonic assaults on your life. 

While there is nothing wrong with listening to talk shows about the “dark times” we face, there must be MORE TIME given to PRAISE.  You cannot study these events without giving far more of your time to the “amplification” of the Holy Spirit within you.  You will lose the battle and make enormous mistakes.  You cannot HEAR God speaking to your heart when you trouble it with darkness constantly.  This is not about balance, this is about PRIORITIES.  Jesus must be your major priority at all times.

You should spend 2 days away from the news (YouTube, Infowars, you-name-it) in PRAISE and WORSHIP for every one day you spend in research.  Do not allow the forces of “information-darkness” to rob you of your peace.  You will sink your spirit like a rock and your entire world will crush in upon you.  The effects can be utterly devastating.

In Jesus Name – PREPARE YOUR SPIRIT WITH PRAISE CONSTANTLY RIGHT NOW

JESUS IN GETHSEMANE

We all have this contrived illusion of Jesus being this “God-man”.  We imagine he glowed when he walked.  We imagine he floated down mountainsides.  We just DON’T GET IT.

Jesus was EXACTLY LIKE YOU!  He was a MAN.  He hurt.  He cried.  He even had doubts.  WOW.  Think about this for a moment.  All during his ministry he quoted tons of Old Testament writings and fulfilled prophecies demonstrating that he was the Messiah.  Jesus knew he came to die for our sins.  HE KNEW IT.  But when he faced that fateful day, he was in utter despair.  He didn’t want to go through with it.  I could tell you that “his heart was troubled”.  That would be the politically correct thing to say, would it not?  But I tell you the Bible is an UNDERSTATEMENT.  Jesus was utterly freaking out.  He was MISERABLE.

Read this passage about the Garden of Gethsemane.  Think about the words “deeply distressed” and “sorrowful”.  Notice that Jesus prayed directly to HIS FATHER and said the word …

Matt 26:37-45

And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”


39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”


40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”


42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.


44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

NKJV

Getting Slammed from All Sides

If you are reading this article, it is likely you are in the upper .01% of the most knowledgeable Christians in the world.  Look around you today.  You will see hundreds of people that have NO IDEA what is happening.  They might suspect that Israel is going to eventually launch an air strike against Iran.  But that’s pretty much about it.  While many of the more progressive Christian churches are aware of the “Temple Institute” and the forthcoming war, they have no idea what we know.  Again I tell you … THEY HAVE NO IDEA!

Since you have “chosen” to become knowledgeable about these things, you have chosen to carry a heavy burden.  This requires you to fortify your spirit with an enormous amount of peace through Praise.  Read Philippians 4:6-7.

Phil 4:6-7

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

NKJV

Please notice the word “thanksgiving”.  You do not get PEACE without PRAISE!  PERIOD.  I struggle with all the people I get emails from and my heart breaks for them.  So many people are “freaking out” about their lives.  As Christians who become “watchman” you DO carry a heavy burden.  But what’s worse is you become a TARGET!  Because you have a “clue” what is going on in the world you become a lethal adversary of the DEVIL.  And as a “Son of God” with the POWER of JESUS inside, the enemy is going to do EVERYTHING it can to “TAKE YOU OUT”.
 
This means you are going to have “financial challenges”.  This means you might “lose your house”.  This means you might get “demonic illnesses”.  This means your “family” will be used against you.  If the demonic cannot get “to you” they will go after your family and make your life a living Hell.  The more dangerous you are to the demonic, the more of a target you will become.
 
Your only defense is prayer and PRAISE!

Also take the time to read “Sword of the Spirit” here:
 
http://www.tribulation-now.com/2010/06/sword-of-spirit.html
 
 
You don’t have a choice but to prepare for spiritual warfare.  Don’t let yourself get overwhelmed right now!  This is likely only the “beginning of sorrows”.  If my hunch is correct, and the Bible is in fact a serious understatement, then the “beginning of sorrows” is just starting.  This means it’s going to get MUCH WORSE.  And Jesus help us all when it gets really bad.
 
FORGET ABOUT THE DARKNESS
 
FOCUS WITH PRAISE TO YOUR SAVIOR

Not Even the Illuminati Know When

We are surrounded with untrustworthy information.

If you believe ALL the information out there then it can appear that everyone is on the dark side. However it is likely what we are seeing is excellent counter-intel in effect.  Many great God fearing people at one time had joined the Masons or used some popular hand gesture before they knew the true meaning.

In fact there was a time before I knew anything about “them” that I had considered joining even the Masons myself.  Later I had considered joining them intentionally as an “infiltrator” just to reveal their internal workings but figured the time would be better spent doing other things.  I suspect many people out there “participated” in things when they were younger that they didn’t realize were linked to the “dark side” until they got wise to it.  Naturally these moments in time would be captured and used in co-intelpro efforts – particularly now.

So when you see information suggesting that Ron Paul and other anti-NWO leaders are “bad people” just remember “they” will use every trick in the book to “throw you off your game”.  Be wiser than they.  Be wiser than “serpents”.  Be “gentle as doves”.

I believe that, while Lindsey Williams MIGHT have been lied too, he is telling the truth as he knows it.  He might have been told the timeline as of TODAY and that timeline MIGHT change again without his knowing.  Again I am certain Williams – to the best of his ability, is telling the truth.  If you use the Venn Diagram “correlation” method of study and give some credence to the person’s Godly reputation as well, I think you can “correlate” which tidbits are worth watching and which are fluff.

THEN when you consider that people like you and I are in the upper .01% of the overall “enlightened” global population – it is highly likely our data is extremely accurate overall. 

“Demonic Marching Orders”

I would suggest that WE KNOW as much as the “upper 30%” of the Illuminati bloodline people do.  Even THEY do not know all the things that are going to happen and when.  Even THESE “people” are taking their marching orders from the DEMONIC world through their ceremonies and divination events. 

I am reasonably sure that even the top “shape-shifting reptilians” are waiting to find out what the next “chess move” will be.

Summary

Learn from Job.  Learn from Jesus. 

The Bible says that the Great Tribulation will be like no other time in the history of the earth.  WOW.  Holy CRAP!#@!#

Do you have ANY IDEA what that means??

Folks we need to brace for the worse.  If you “flip out” when you stub your toe, or you get “angry” when your money runs short for the week then you really need to get your PRAISE ENGINE REVED UP – in Jesus Name.  Please buy some praise music.  Please fill your car CD player with Praise Music.  Learn to “lighten the burden” by praising God with all your might. 

I struggle constantly with issues.  Believe me “none of us” have this figured out.  We need to “lean on each other” like no other time in history.

Tribulation-Now is investigating the use of private “by invitation only” Webex conference calls with our members and leaders.  We don’t know for sure if this will work well yet but we are testing the technology actively at this time.  It is imperative that those of us who are “in the know” have a means to “vent” and get the issues off our chest.  We NEED to become focused on JESUS through praise and take PEACE away from all this stuff … KNOWING THAT …

If You Don’t Listen
You won’t hear …

It seems, sadly so, that “christianity” (lower case intended) has slipped into a crevasse of trapped thought.  We have been trained to think “inside the box” at all times.  When one really studies the Bible a divine revelation jumps off the pages.  If you don’t let yourself get snared in a trap associated with “Law vs. Grace”, or which prophecies are “symbolic” verses “literal”, you see another truth that is missed by virtually everyone.

The Bible was never intended to be the “Final Word of God”.  This is why you see the words “I reveal this mystery to you” all throughout the text. 

WHAT MYSTERY?  HOW MANY ARE THERE?

Never mind when John was seeing the visions of Revelation there is an entire sequence of events he is told he must not write down.  What do you supposed those events are?  When do you think those “secret mystery” events will unfold?  Is it possible these events unfold during the very “end of times” here on earth?  Is it possible these mysteries will happen in our life time?  Could it be that God will unfold these mysteries to the most unlikely people? 

The Olivette Discourse Paradox

I challenge you, in Jesus name, to “break out of the box”!  You are going to miss your shot at a piece of the “divine pie” if you are trapped in the “pigeon hole” that most traditional Christian leaders are shouting from.

Never forget, amidst the future unleashing of divine events, most people will be completely asleep at the wheel.  Try to understand the “twinkling of an eye” warning.  Try to grasp the “paradox” associated with Jesus’ warnings in the Olivette Discourse. 

Think about this paradox here:

Matt 24:37-39

37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

NKJV

Did it ever occur to you there are duplicitous dynamics at work in these three verses?  Most of Christianity embraces the notion that these three verses simply support the “twinkling of an eye” paradigm.   But the deeper thinkers out there realize that verse 37 is LOADED with parallelisms.

So how is one to embrace this paradox?

Do you think we will all see Nephilim rushing out of caves eating people?
Do you think we will all see UFOs landing on top of Pyramids?

THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS WE WON’T SEE

Responding to the Flow

Think about the spiritual dynamics in play here at Tribulation-Now.

The whole world of Christianity is shouting DOOM DOOOM DOOOOOOOM!!  OR … RAPTURE, RAPTURE, RAPTURE!  

Some are shaking their fists in the air. Simmons was murdered, Tsunamis are coming, death and destruction.

While this dynamic is occurring, Tribulation-Now’s people are emailing me. Look at the procession of articles in the order they were published.  I did not notice this until just this morning.

Read “bottom to top”

When God’s Special Forces was published, a demon started to email me viscous assaults. I sent some of them to a colleague of mine just to show him the “dark side” of paying attention to people’s “input”.  This is tricky business, writing these articles.  You have hundreds of emails coming in.  People need prayer, people are demonically attacked, people are demonically “attacking”.  It can be a bit distracting I assure you.  Couple that with a “day job” and family life and you can become mentally fatigued very quickly.  

The last three days have been exactly that … exhausting.

Enter Lewis Crompton

NEXT I get sent the prophecies from this young guy, Lewis Crompton, from one of our more gifted contributors Heather. Heather didn’t send them to anyone but me as far as I know.  At least, I was the only one in the “to” field of the email.  Prior to reading her email I had already authored and published “A Change in Priorities” and “When God Says Thanks” and I was about to leave for work.  But I don’t like to leave until I have finished going through most of the emails.

Then I open Heather’s email.  I start reading Crompton’s prophecies.  My eyes become instantly affixed to the text.  This wasn’t the usual “fluffy stuff” you get from “The Elijah List” – this was DEAD ON!  And if you read the comments section under this article you can see that people were on “both sides” of the fence regarding this word. 

The more traditional believers felt Crompton was too young and he used “lingo” which God wouldn’t use.  But when you  know how God prophecies through “people” and have been around it all your life you realize that this is EXACTLY HOW IT WORKS. 

You don’t drop your Southern accent when God speaks through you!  The characteristics associated with how you speak will “often” come out in the language you use to “relay” the words God has laid upon your heart.  Not all of prophetic utterances are “YEA SAYETH THE LORD” … we better watch our our established “belief systems” and attitudes and LISTEN IN JESUS NAME.

The Final Nudge

I read the email and published it immediately because even though I had already published 2 other articles that same morning, I felt a HUGE PUSH to publish the Lewis Crompton material.  I really needed to get to work.  I was running very much behind schedule.  I emailed my associate a copy of the Crompton prophecy and asked him to remind me to publish that work soon.

But I was unable to leave my chair.

I immediately started to publish his work.

EXTRA BIBLICAL DOES NOT MEAN UNBIBLICAL

I warn anyone that will open their minds and listen, it is people LIKE CROMPTON the Lord has NO CHOICE but to speak through as things become EXTRA BIBLICAL.

Do not forget that the Bible NEVER SAYS that all knowledge comes from only within its text. It is a “MAP” of truth, but it is not the only source of truth. This is why there are mysteries that were locked up and stated so in the Bible. 

These mysteries are yet to unfold.

With the Grace of God and the patience of Tribulation-Now’s key contributors we will investigate the amazing concept of …

Praise JESUS the battle cries from our Heavenly Father are coming in at an alarming rate.  Do you suppose it’s because the time is upon us?

I believe there is no doubt about it.  You would have to be completely asleep at the wheel to not see what is on the horizon.  Here is yet another fabulous contribution sent in to Tribulation-Now from our Key Jesus Filled Contributor – Heather.

HEATHER –  BE BLESSED IN JESUS NAME

“Prepare for Acceleration, For What Once Flowed will Now Fly”

“Are you bored of milk? Have you had your fill? Are you bored of the factory process? Do you want your cow and eat beef forever more? For this is the meat of My Word. I will give you meat as you meet with each other and with Me, for behold I am in your midst. I bring a strong arm; the right arm of the Lord is here. I tend to My people. I bring long-awaited provision which has been stored up for a time—for only a mighty arm can release what I have for you.

“Come and dwell in the tent of the King. I’ve laid awake for the heart of My people. I’ve set an ambush for My enemies and I will strike at the appointed time; and I will fight so that they do not have to, and you will reap their treasures.

“Prepare for acceleration, for what once flowed will now fly. I’ve woven together a mighty tapestry, and I’ve threaded you together today, for this group of people will hear what has not been heard before, and at no time on earth have these things been spoken, on no place on earth have these things been shown. This will be a great reveal. Are you ready for show and tell?

“Remember, this is a gift and I give it out of grace. You’ve done nothing to deserve it and you have nothing that you can buy it with. Freely I give. So freely you give. This is why it is show and tell. Learn what you learn. Learn what you learn. Make sure you are learned, to show yourself studied and approved. Not approved by man but by God, for I am the one who anoints; but it is man who appoints.

“Where are My anointed ones—those who carry My presence to reveal the mysteries of the living God? You were born for such a time as this—not that you would be proud but that you would shout aloud, for you are all evangelists and My Bride needs saving, too. For though I’ve pulled her out of darkness and set her feet upon a rock, still she does not hear My voice.”

“Stop blowing your kazoos. Stop playing at war. This is a time of trumpets, a time of true war; and I bring separation to set you apart, not letting you be divided amongst yourselves. Be united in purpose with those who understand, with those called to war. My people are treating Me like Aladdin’s lamp and only let Me out to declare their wishes.

“I will be incubating a remnant. And in this place of warmth and safety, I’ve been cooking their hearts so that impurities will rise to the surface, and I will skim them off; and now I stir in the deep and I will bring a mighty torrent that will envelop My people. They will be overtaken by My presence and the breakthrough will go before them.

“Who goes to war without their God? They are foolish, for this is also sin. To war without Me—it is folly. Those who are in folly will go down to the grave. Those who seek wisdom will be lifted up. Do not go to war unless you are anchored in My presence—this is your firm foundation. For the tide of the enemy has come against you. Now I’m using you to turn the tide against the enemy. There is the secret the Egyptians understood about war—that secret I will release to My people. And the Russians knew what it was to war in winter, and you will need to fight in all seasons.

“Do not think in the season of rest there will be no warfare. The enemy will seek to steal your rest. This is why My Son expected fruit from us even out of season. I’m releasing eagles, and they will lift you up and enable you to fight from the skies—that you will not be bound upon the earth. For when you intercede on the land you are subjects of the land, but when you intercede from the sky you are not bound. You can fly where you choose. Fly to redeem the air. Fly above the snake line.

“Come into My plumb line. There you will receive a sign. The victory is divine. You cannot win by yourself. You can only win with Me. Take yourself off the shelf. I am not done with thee (KJV emphasis). For that which is old I am making new. For where there was no resolution I am bringing resolution. Where there was darkness I am bringing light. Where there was evil I am bringing My presence. You are light in darkness designed to shine. How will you fight the darkness if you do not have the Light? For the rod on your back is a lightning rod; it connects to My power, to My suddenlies.

“For I come all of a sudden—so be ready. Do not be a foolish virgin. Have your house in order, for the day is very short and the night is very long. The great exchange is coming like a whirlwind. From the highest Heaven to the lowest depth, My name will be known. And your names will be great in the camp of the enemy, for they will fear you as they fear Me, for I have chosen to inhabit My people.

“Do not fear the enemy, for they fear you. Do not fight unless I lead; otherwise, I will not be with you. How will you defend without your shield? How will you fight without your swords? For the Sword of the Spirit is the Spirit Himself and He only does what He sees the Father doing—so if you do not go where you see your Father go, you will be without resource, and if you go where I do not go, you will be without resource.

“Guard your sword upon your side. Walk with Me side by side, for I am raising up a mighty army and the enemy quakes before them—for I have made them dreaded. These are the dreaded ones. They carry the dread of the Lord, and it is deeper than the Fear of the Lord; for if My people should fear Me the enemy should dread Me, because I will bring about their destruction and they know this is true.

“As I release My dread upon My people and they walk upon the land, it will cry out, it will tremble before Me—for this is how Joshua walked. For this is not a Joshua generation, nor an Elijah generation. This is a generation that has never been seen. This is a generation of Sons—for Joshua did not walk as a son, neither did Elijah. My Son walked as a Son. Why have you focused your attention upon others other than My Son? Will you not seek your sons and daughters to be as My son? Why limit them to Elijah, Joshua, David? These are but labels that confine My people.

“Again My people have allowed their eyes to shift, to change their focus, and instead of looking at My Son they look to others. This is idolatry. Why would you model yourself on anyone other than My Son—for He was the only worthy one. How can you do greater things when you are looking to the lesser? Fix your eyes upon Jesus—the Author and Finisher of your faith. In Him all things are created, all things are sustained.”

We are to travel on the light and go through the Morning Star to the King of Kings. The key is somehow enabling us to go into the heart of the Morning Star, into His light to drink of His life, to be energized by His light. “Why do you limit Me? I am not linear. I am beyond. I am King of Kings, King of the universe, and I call you to come up higher and to look from My perspective.”

“For this is where you will stop on the merry go round, trapped on fake horses, reasoning as children, playing children’s games, never advancing but going around in circles. This day I raise My banner. I’m bringing My Bride into adulthood.

“Studying is not enough. Knowledge will not give you victory, but experience will. Your knowledge has become eclipsing of the sun. I will not allow a total eclipse, for I am sending forth experience to My people that their knowledge must be applied. Wisdom is applied knowledge. You have stayed at the door of knowledge and not moved to the next house of wisdom. Knowledge is not just information in your mind but wisdom releases knowledge, for this will be the manifold wisdom that I will release through My Church.

“You thought it would be good to be scholars. What good is reading a scroll if you don’t eat it and let it become part of you? This is how I write My Word on your heart, that you will live your life worthy of Me, demonstrating Me, experiencing Me, rather than just knowing Me—for knowing will cease and you only know dimly. What does it benefit a man if he knows all mysteries but not know how to use them? Who will he help? Who will he save? What will he grow other than his pride?

“I’ve Sent the Rain and I’m Bringing You to a Place of Rain—Rule and Reign”

“Do not look to the left or the right. Now I sound a war with a trumpet in all directions, up in space, down in space. All is mine. Even that which the enemy tries to create I have dominion over. Who gave them the power to create? Who gave them permission? Was it not from the Creator? So I will tear down.

“Prepare to be slingshot, flung three times in space to a place where flowers grow easily, to a place where there is fruit and it is easy to grow—for it has been hard in the desert. It has been hard without rain, so I’ve sent the rain and I’m bringing you to a place of rain—rule and reign.

“I’m releasing a holy unrest, a dissatisfaction, a realization that not all is well, for many have abandoned the truth in seeking green pastures, for they thought it was greener on the other side, but they have been lied to. They were told the battle was over, and instead of pressing on, they gave up and denied their own hurt. They rejected their own pain and sent it deeper.

“For you do not take out a bullet by pushing it deeper and covering it over; and they are wondering why they are infected when they will not receive the healing waters of My Spirit, for My Spirit heals and breeds passion and brings counsel. He is a Mighty Counsellor.”

Speaking to the Church: “I have been gracious and worked upon their foundation. I work within their regime, within their control, for I am gracious and I am humble, but I will be free and once again I will move in power that they cannot contain; and though they can shut down one, they cannot shut down an army. If they kill one, I will raise up two. If they kill two, I will raise up four. If they kill four, I will raise up eight. This is a new beginning.

“For no longer am I bound by geography. I am not bound to the earth, the earth is bound to Me. I will walk across the earth in the hearts of My people. I am grounded in their hearts and they are hidden in mine—heart to heart, face to face, worshipping in spirit and truth—for I bring about a day of triumph, and now it begins.

“Joseph is coming. Dominion rule is coming. Dominion must be taken. It will not be given. Take hold of that which Christ took hold of you for. We are no longer in the nursery, but you still need to color outside the lines. Do not be limited to that which was drawn for you.
