Still Waiting, Lord
'A New Heaven and a New Earth' - Are We in End Times?
This morning I was experiencing inner turmoil and heaviness. I sat down to ask God why.
I am seeing what I believe is the beginning of the end of America as we know it. We have all seen what has been happening all over the world, besides what is here in our own country, due to hate and inner rebellion.
I cried out to God: Please have mercy and make this time quick. Am I hearing you right Lord? Are we in the 'end times' as we know life to be?
I sat down to talk to God through His written word and other spiritual books I use. Some years ago, He led me through a 'connect the dots' situation, looking up the same page number through the books. He confirmed the messages he was sending me by connecting all the messages to the same theme.
I was led to the end of Revelation. As I read the last two chapters, tears of joy, yet sadness flowed freely. Tears flowing from heaven above. Then these words flowed from my mind, from a whisper within:
"Just as I once separated land from the seas, and created a new Earth, so it must be done again to create the 'New heavens and earth' as told to John."John 21, v.1: Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.* 2 I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem,* coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human race. He will dwell with them and they will be his people* and God himself will always be with them [as their God].* 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, [for] the old order has passed away.”
I knew what God was referring to, for after watching a documentary on Africa on National Geographic, I had marveled at the beauty of all the landscape and scenery. I saw the beauty of what was at first a horrifying scene. Volcanos and earthquakes, erupting and pushing up and destroying the old landscape as a new Earth was created. First scarred and ugly, then over time a beautiful world became alive with Life of all types where once harden lava covered the land.
"These events have to happen before a new Earth can begin."
'Yes, God,' I said, 'I understand that all things prophesied in Revelation must happen. But it still does not stop my tears from flowing, or change how my heart hurts now. Just as yours and Mary's does. For You know what has to come before there will be 'no more tears, death or mourning.' Thank you for shortening the days, Lord. Thank you for all of Your promises to be with us always and protecting us as ALL that is to come will come.
Please Lord, have mercy on all who still do not see or hear or obey You. Grant us the grace to seek you with all of our hearts and turn away from our wicked ways and false gods. Oh God, please have mercy on us. Do what must be done, but please may it be quick for the darkness is getting darker! Come, Lord Jesus, come now into the hearts of those who long for Your presence in their lives. Come, for when you live within our hearts and we love as You love, it is already Heaven here on Earth. For we see with Your eyes the glory of God all around us.
Again, the inner voice came:
"The Four Horses are riding forth, the beginning of the end has begun. For those who seek wisdom and understanding: ask, and the Spirit of God and will give His gifts to all who ask for His help. As the apostles were told to do, draw away and pray until you receive My Holy Spirit."
Dear beloved of God, Pentecost 2021 is May 23rd. Now is the time to Hear and Obey.
Ask and you will receive all that you need in these days that are to come and will come, before we see that new heaven and that new Earth, we must be led by the Voice of God and the Holy Spirit.
About the Author
Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from Immaculate Heart of Mary church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)
But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.
My husband Robert and I have been married for 54 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 28 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.
God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!
Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
