This post is about a dream.
In the dream, I came face to face with 2 giants at separate times. The first one came in my face trying to intimidated me with his physical appearance and tall stature. I quickly felt the power of the Holy Spirit rise up in me and I commanded it to leave now. The second giant came my way and even more furious than the first giant. This giant looked very Continue reading Bringing Down The Giants
Have you been to India lately?
I have. I traveled to Chennai, of Tamil Nadu, India this past July 2017 to meet with other Born Again believers from other nations for a conference. We were there for 2 weeks. I flew on Emirates with a nonstop flight to Dubai then one last flight into India. Longest flight of my life -15 hours! This is the norm for some people whose home is aboard. It was my first time traveling to India so I was exited and anticipating a great experience. I was not disappointed. It is a beautiful land with people who are passionate about their culture and beliefs. For it being the month of July I was expecting a heat wave of a summer but surprisingly the heat was tolerable. We were served delicious tea everyday which is practically a must. The Indian cuisine is to be appreciated. In my opinion, I found it to be healthy selections of meals that you won’t find so easily here in the states. I did not get to travel out and go sight seeing as my focus was the the conference only. I highly anticipate my next visit as the Lord wills.
Just like any other nation, India has it’s social economic, political, humanitarian issues in the land. Faith wise, the enemy has waged war against the Christians in India by way of persecution towards pastors/believers being beaten, churches being damaged/burned and the likes. I cannot say I know everything that goes on in the land only what I have come across in the news or prayer requests sent to me by my Christian friends living in India. India also battle devastating floods every year which is hard to watch as countless residents lose their homes and loved ones.
CHRISTIANITY IN INDIA: According to statistics, Christianity is the 3rd largest religion (2.3%) in India, while Hinduism is the first (79.8) and Islam being second (14.2%). Thomas the Apostle, one of the 12 disciples of Jesus Christ, informally called “doubting Thomas” because he doubted Jesus’ resurrection when first told, however, he believed later by his confession of faith, “My Lord and my God,” on seeing Jesus’ wounded body face to face. He is the apostle sent by God in the power of the Holy Spirit to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in India. According to Syrian Christian tradition, Saint Thomas was martyred by way of spear while running up a mount away from his persecutors. The location is modernly known today as St. Thomas Mount in the Chennai, of Tamil Nadu.
The Born Again believers I’ve come to across and know as friends today are on fire for God. During the conference my brothers and sisters in Christ prayed with great urgency and fervency which made my heart glad to know how passionate the people of God are in India, and across all nations of course. But I had a chance to witness this first hand and I praise our heavenly Father for his work in the hearts of his people in India.
BUT WHAT IS GOD DOING IN INDIA TODAY? The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is raising and preparing his end time Prophets even now in India. Bold prophetic voices will be heard throughout the land proclaiming the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness. There is a wave of deception and persecution which will increase in the nation with great intensity. The enemy’s goal is to wear down the saints, to discourage, distract and disillusion the Truth which they once had. Do not settle in being a spectator for what the Lord God has begun in the nation of India. Get the Light of Jesus Christ in you by mediating on his word daily, continue to pray with fervency and ask the Lord for his grace so that your faith will not fail when the wave of trials come to your neighborhood. Proclaim the truth of God with great boldness as the Holy Spirit empowers you. For everything that can be shaken, will shaken and tumble down. Only those that have made Lord Jesus their foundation will remain standing.
We remain in prayer over India: For those souls who do not know to come to the saving knowledge of Lord Jesus Christ and for the faith of every believer to fail not.

Matthew 7:24-27
24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
Hebrews 12:25-29
See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”
On December 3, 2017 I was in my car awaiting the start time of a christian conference that I drove 8 hours to attend in Ohio. The state I live in rarely has these type of christian conferences that really appeal to spiritual growth and this is a minister of God who’s ministry I’ve partnered with so well with the drive.
I took the opportunity of the free time I had before the conference begin to mediate on the Word of God. To be specific, I kept hearing in my spirit, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6) I felt the Holy Spirit wanted to bring deeper understanding to this scripture that I’ve read plenty of times before. The beatitudes. I turned to the scripture read it and wrote as the Holy Spirit laid this on my heart:
The time is coming when the true believers will have to literally live on only the words that proceeds from the mouth of God. When the persecution against the believers, the true believers, will stand against the world system and will not be able to buy or sell, you will go hungry – it’s simple. This is a test. Will you accept the beast system to fill your belly with physical food? Here’s the word of the Lord: Hunger and thirst for righteousness.
Start living a lifestyle of absence of food (fast and pray) and feed on the Word of God. Practice this now! Train your mind and belly now. Stop over indulging on food. The enemy will us this over indulgence as a snare to get believers to break down their resistance against the system of the beast.
Man Shall not live on bread alone but out of every word that proceed from the mouth of God. The key is to hunger and thirst for righteousness. We need more of God, knowing more of him, drawing closer to him, giving him full devotion, undivided attentions. He will fill you up as he speaks to you and reveals his heart to you.
The words he speaks will be your food. Spiritual food. How will this benefit the physical body that feels hunger? Did the word say walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh? ( Oh you thought that just meant something sexual? – No.) An individual can lust after food as well. If you’re walking in the Spirit you will be focused instead on spiritual matters.
The thought of food (physical food) will not be as important. Even if you have a bout of hunger pain. You will not see physical food, you will seek the Word of God. Food to build up your spirit (Jesus said the words I speak are Spirit and Life!) The stronger your spirit man gets the weaker the desire’s of the flesh will be and the more authority your spirit will have over your flesh for it to submit.
To summarize, let’s practice depending on the Word of God to sustain us as a time is coming where food will be scarce for the believers in Christ during the tribulation. We do not want to grow weak and give up when situations are challenging with no other options. Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness as this is what will fulfill us/satisfy us. Our Lord Jesus Christ is our Righteousness. Jesus is the Word of God.
Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger,and whoever believes in Me will never thirst. John 6:35
Couple of months ago, while waiting on the Lord, I heard the Lord say, “A bomb will go off” on December 7, 2017. The Lord God did not go into details. I cannot say if this will be a literally bomb or a situation that will be so big it will be devastating.
