I was infatuated with space as a child. Not necessarily learning about all the stars, constellations, the engineering of space travel, etc. but I was extremely eager to “boldly go where no man has gone before”. I joined the AFJROTC in High School with the career plan to go to the Air Force Academy and fly for the military just long enough to be recruited by NASA into their space program! If you talked with me before the age of 15, I was going to space! Many things happened while in ROTC to change my mind, primarily I started having all these conversations with God. When I was 12 years old, I had a truly mountaintop experience with Him wherein the Holy Spirit came upon my whole body! Like Fire! It was amazing. After that I started having dreams and was able to prophesy. I remember the first time it (prophecy) happened that I was aware of. I was in class sitting behind one of the biggest gang-bangers in school. He was a senior, I was a freshman. I was unbelievably intimidated by him. His last name was Champagne. I can still remember our conversation – I thought he was so cool and tough. While I was talking with Mr Champagne during typing class, all of the sudden I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that he was abused by his dad. I didn’t have a vision or anything like that but this epiphany just happened and suddenly I blurted out, “I'm sorry your dad hits you.” He looked at me with eyes of shock and horror, saying, “How did you know that?” and “Why would you say something like that!?” I thought at first he was angry. He turned around in his chair and avoided me. But then turned back again, starred intently into my eyes and asked, “How do you know that about me?” I told him what happened at church camp and how God did something that seemed to change me, I told him about the dreams and prophecies. “There is really no other explanation for it…” I said. I watched his tough, gang-member exterior melt away, tears well up in his eyes as he asked, “So God is real then?” I said, “Yes. More than we know.” I was playing football and very good at it, I was a leader in the ROTC but all the while I had this almost uncontrollable passion for God. We lived outside of Los Angeles in the suburbs, not the most Christian place to live and yet I wanted to serve God. I felt I didn’t fit anywhere. The football team obviously talked like sailors, it seemed like everyone drank alcohol and were having sex but me. ROTC was a better fit but that still wasn’t time with the Spirit of God and my young soul on fire longed for more of God. At ROTC camp after sophomore year, I decided I couldn’t continue, I was worried the Air Force was going to get in the way of my walk with Jesus and at almost 16 years old, after all those years of dreaming about space, becoming an astronaut suddenly I laid it all down and walked away. It was a very difficult time after that. Suddenly my driving purpose was gone and I could not make any plans for the future. After I graduated high school I stumbled into a brand-new Bible College in Seattle, Washington. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Over the years me and society-at-large seemed to forget about space entirely. The US Space program grew almost non-existent (at least what is public) for more than 30 years. Years passed, I graduated from Bible College, got into business, became a minister and then a missionary – and suddenly, out of nowhere, the whole world started talking about space again!? It was a strange phenomenon, we explored the moon and achieved such marvels some 60+ years ago but then almost like it never happened, we simply stopped talking about it – for nearly 40 years!? Being a curious person, I have wondered throughout my life what is out there and is it in God’s plans for us to end up “among the stars”. In the midst of wanting to understand more I stumbled into some revelation and my heart started to change, quite dramatically on the subject. While I still have many questions and curiosities, let me share several things I found in scripture with regards to space and our desire to build a world out there… Please turn with me in your Bibles to, Isaiah 14:12: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer...” Isaiah begins this prophecy of his talking about the origins of our adversary, Satan. Verse 13, “For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God…” Remember this is Satan speaking of his rebellion against God. Verse 14, “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.” But God proclaims judgment upon him, verse 15, “Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.” Have you ever read such a scripture before!? Did we read the same thing?? Did the Bible just say that Satan/Lucifer wanted to go into outer-space and venture even, “above the stars of God” and “be like the Most High”!? And for his punishment, Lucifer was banished from heaven and the heavens(?) altogether thrown down to the earth, wherein, presumably, he became Satan… is that how you are reading this also?? Remember Jesus said, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven…” Let me explain a little more. Heaven, Biblically, could either be the sky, by day or the stars, by night. Heaven included the clouds but also the stars, biblically. The scripture declares, God resides in “The Heaven of Heavens” (Deut. 10:14, 2 Chron. 2:6, etc.). Lucifer/Satan wanted to exalt himself above the throne of God, above the heaven of heavens it seems and be like the Most High. Where exactly is the “heaven of heavens”? Seems to be above or maybe past the stars, it’s mysterious? These things are difficult to understand for certain but we can see very clearly Lucifer was ready to venture into and above (maybe beyond) the stars and rebel against God, achieving his own god-like glory, all for himself. And this is what the conquest of the stars was in essence about: Lucifer’s desire to be like God or to be a god himself. I fear we, mankind in general, are following in Satan’s footsteps as we turn to the heavens for our salvation. I suppose it would be different if we were being directed by our Heavenly Father into the stars. If we had some Biblical and supernatural revelation from our Father and His Son that our destiny leads to the moon and beyond, I wouldn’t be writing this article. In fact, what we have from scripture, from testimony and from our own science and history opposes altogether the notion that God wants us rocketing into space, to the moon and beyond. The founding of NASA even is marred with occult practices and from its conception, men openly at war with God strewn across its foundations. Space exploration, the colonizing of the moon and beyond is all birthed in every power but God: fear stands out as the prevalent force in funding these extravagant missions, they are constantly striving to convince us that we are destroying the earth and will need another place in which to escape, fear is also the reason we are ensuring our weapons in space are better than theirs, the love of money is another power driving the nations into the great void, whoever can colonize the moon first could perhaps find a hoard of treasure in rare-minerals and more, out-in-out rebellion seems to be involved in our quest for the stars but they have proven the human body was not made for space, they proved this not once or twice but over and again, our bodies are simply not created to live without gravity, pumped full of harmful space-radiation and more. Having investigated off and on over the years, I can see absolutely no testimony of God in our quest to leave this abundant and exceptional earth that God gave us. I see absolutely no witness from heaven saying, your salvation will come from colonizing moon and beyond, quite the contrary. There seem to be only two belief systems emerging in this generation (and I plan to write more about this in Part Three of this series): the Judeo-Christian belief of a loving and All-Powerful Creator-God and Father who is actively and intimately involved with the affairs of men and our salvation, and a belief system involving Aliens, UFOs, the occult, venturing into the stars, AI, Transhumanism, Genetic Engineering and basically all the worst parts of the Biblical last days coming to fruition: the antichrist, the earth shaken, plagues and pestilences, God’s judgment of the world by fire, etc. It amazes me how there is nothing new under the sun, and all of this deception has been before and has remained upon the earth, even lurking in the shadows, for a long-long time. In my next part of the series, I will explain how this great deception has been convincing men away from their Creator and Father since the very beginning. Nothing is new under the sun – the truth is ancient and the lies in this world are just as old… ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The tech-billionaires all seem to have a plan to create empires for themselves in God’s heaven, just like Lucifer before them…. They even have an answer for our bodies inability to survive the various impossibilities of space: Transhumanism. These mighty kings-of-the-earth have brazenly gone after the building blocks of life to create a new man in the image that they desire, insomuch to achieve their goals of god-like ascendance into the stars and more. I’m afraid that this is exactly what Lucifer did to get himself kicked out of heaven, for good. I’m afraid that this quest of theirs is exactly what the Bible warns will come to pass in the last days to force (again) the hand of God to end this world as we know it. Jesus said, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened…” What if that word flesh is quite literally referring to the very thing that makes us man, our DNA, our genes, this body that was made in God’s own image!? What if Jesus is saying, “I shortened those days because of what they were doing to destroy man, his DNA and genes, who I made in my own image.” Seems to make sense to me. Seems to fit the exact narrative of the story unfolding presently upon the earth! Satan has been at war with God since the very beginning. And this war is over God’s most precious possession, us, man, God’s own children, made in His own imagine. Satan has been deceiving us since the very start: away from our God, to hide from Him, to change our own body to become altogether different, to become like him, to rebel against our Father, even to go out into the stars and try and show Him we don’t need His help or salvation, we can do it all ourselves, we can be our own gods. It’s been the same exact war since the start of time. I will explain more in the next part of the series. But do not be afraid men of God! Do not have fear as you see these things coming to pass upon the earth This is what God said must happen so that all things would be fulfilled Everyone has a choice We can choose the love of God and His eternal kingdom - Or we can war against love and perfection choosing destruction and death instead We can choose all the beauty that is wrapped up in Jesus Christ and His salvation - Or we can reject Him all the days of our lives and strive to become our own gods Jesus said, “Choose life, that you might live.” God has the big picture all worked out. The big problems God will solve. We only need to trust Him and stay by His side as He completes what He started: “The Salvation of the Children of the Living God” He is bringing us home, back to the garden, back to eternity The way everything was intended originally. Our Father is doing this. He promised us! And God is not a man that He would lie. We can trust Him. He hasn’t lied to us so far… Everything He said is coming true… He isn’t lying to us. He is going to save us Every single one of us that wants Him and wants His kingdom, we will receive Him! “Trust in the Lord with all your hearts And do not lean on your own understanding In all your ways acknowledge Him And He will direct your paths” Amen. Still full of hope for the saints, With a fervent and zealous love, In Christ, our Messiah, More to come, - Robert Anthony

Number 10 – The Church Leaders tend to Live in the Past. Jesus wants us to drink New Wine (Luke 5:37-39). But the people like the old stuff, why? Well, aged-wine is familiar, has a much higher alcohol content, its flavors are mature and robust but old wine dramatically loses its high levels of mineral content and other natural health effects. Jesus says “Drink New Wine” referring to the newness of God, King David and Isaiah prophesied similarly, saying, “Sing unto the Lord a New Song!” But we get used to old-timey hymns and songs we have sung for centuries even. There is something about religion that provokes old fashioned traditions and often these traditions of men become just as important as the Bible… although they are traditions of men and not scripture given to us by God. Jesus reprimanded the Pharisees of this in Mark 7:13. In fact often Jesus brought this issue up with the Pharisees and religious leaders. I have to admit, there is something comforting to me also about an old-church with their worn pews, familiar messages and blue-haired preacher but Jesus implores us to live… today! “Today is the day of salvation” the scripture declares! Paul implores us, “Forgetting those things which are behind” and “Press forward to the high calling in Christ Jesus!” Everything to do with Revival is fundamentally New: new salvation, new songs, new ways of encountering God, new preachers - a whole new life in an entirely new Church! All the old revivals broke out of “religious-norms” and the New Revival Coming will break out of them again. “Drink New Wine” Jesus said. But the crowd responds, “But the old is better!” Number 9 – Their Preachers Don’t Have the Right Message. We can build religion or we can build the kingdom of God… but we can build religion and forsake the kingdom of God entirely. Who are our preachers and teachers pointing the people toward? I would say 99 times out of 100 they are returning the people to themselves, to their own religions, to their denominations and buildings – rarely do you hear a message from a pulpit that begins with, “Congregation, you do not need me.” But that message is the truth! There is no salvation that comes from men. Period. Full-Stop. Matthew 24 :14 says, “And then this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world as a witness and then the end shall come.” What Jesus represented to the people is entirely different than religion, than old-timey religion especially, Jesus lived among them and His message was actually quite simple, “Do not be religious like those Pharisees and others, there is no life in that, I am going to teach you to walk with God and to know your Father, I will show you how to be with Him every day of your lives and you will find life and you shall live it more abundantly!” There is no other mediator needed: no apostle, no prophet, no evangelist, no pastor or teacher, no priest or rabbi is required or necessary to know your God. Here is one of my favorite scriptures (that you will hardly ever hear preached from a pulpit), 1 John 2:28, “But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.” Yes, Jesus is more than enough – without a doubt! Reread Ephesians 4:8-12, God will give us many gifts (apostles, prophets, etc.) to help us along the way but the best gift remains our own relationship with God. Number 8 – The Elders Forgot how to have Fun. In Matthew 18 Jesus called a child to Himself and explained, “Unless you are converted and become again as this little child you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” We should stop for a moment and let that sink in. I’m afraid that we became too grumpy as the years pass by. I worry that we got too serious and lost the joy, fulfillment and life in our relationship with God. Jesus warns the church in Ephesus, in Revelation that they “lost their first love”. We often care too much about the carpet, the pews, the order of the service, starting on time, finishing on time, three fast songs, two slow songs, then the offering… I worry that we have become entirely disconnected and lifeless religions, I worry that this New Generation has a great offense towards God because of us. Where is the fun? Where is the joy? Where is the life and love…? We should give them a reason to sing. We should give the young people something to dance about… I worry that we are just too crotchety, bitter, cold and lifeless. God save your Church! Number 7 – The Leaders would rather Judge than Roll Up their Sleeves and Get Dirty. It’s actually easier to judge than it is to love. I have considered this often throughout the years. To judge requires almost no effort or risk. I can judge the world from the comfort of my home bedroom, in fact I can feel pious and religious and never ever get out of bed! But to love… that’s an entirely different story. If I am going to love them, I am certainly going to have to leave the house… There will be risk involved and yes, I can get hurt!? I could love them and they might not love me in return or they could very well repay my kindness with evil. I could love them and they could take-advantage of my generosity with ill-intention and malice. So maybe it’s easier to judge? The trouble is, there will be no life, newness of life, salvation, etc. that will be birthed from judgment or condemnation. It's time to come down from these high-pulpits and lofty positions and remember/learn how to love. We have built the religious stuff for long enough – it’s time for Revival! Go out into all the world and love them!! (I am pretty sure that is scripture.) Pastors, Evangelists, Prophets, etc. the people need to know you, it’s not enough they see you on the covers of books and on the television and computers, that is not reality or real life, that will never truly spread this gospel. Ever. Here at the end of this age, there has never been a better time to go and be with the people, tell them about their God but show them His salvation! This is how Jesus did it. He lived in our midst and loved us everyday. WWJD? You have your answer. Number 6 – The Pastors still care too much about Money. I am going to try not to get too angry discussing the evils of money I have personally seen throughout the religious world (and let me remind the reader I have personally preached in more than 2000 churches throughout the world in some 20 nations and 40 US States. I have seen plenty with my own eyes.) Jesus said, “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” What a man does with money will reveal a lot about him, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Read Matthew 6:19-21) There is so very little about a typical “church” budget that represents anything biblical – neither old nor new covenant. Honestly, I don’t even want to explain what I know on the subject. If their hearts were good and they loved God, they would find the same scriptures that I would reference and they would follow them. Even moreso, if they truly cared about God, His kingdom and the people they “serve”, the Holy Ghost would lead them into these amazing truths about the powerful things they could do with the holy Church funds to bless the people and honor God. Would Jesus throw tables over today if He visited our churches? The multi-million dollar buildings sit empty all week long, these vast empires that men have built in the name of God have been robbing from the poor for far too long – haven’t we learned a lesson from Robin Hood when we were children!? But their hearts are corrupt and hard, harder than a rock, who can penetrate that!? Did even one of those Pharisees repent in Jesus’ day!? Number 5 – They forgot the Orphans and Widows, and the Hurting and Broken among us. The church budgets of today reveal Alot. In America especially, 70-90% of most every church budget goes to salaries and things pertaining to their real estate holdings, those church-buildings. With so many bills there is simply no money left over for the poor, the widows, the orphans and the least among us. Don’t even get me started on the salaries some of these “pastors” are making, the cars they are driving… forget cars… the jet aircraft they own, refusing to fly like the rest of us. Meanwhile the US Government has taken over caring for the fatherless and our children in need. Who visits the sick? Who among these religious leaders leave their offices and hiding places to go find the broken and hurting among us? 50 and 100 years ago this was much more commonplace in America, the ministers actually ministering to the people. But now they pride themselves in building what they call a “Corporate Church” outsourcing the actual ministry to someone else on staff, or a volunteer even. Our church leaders are untouchable literally, they even have armed guards sometimes!? They preach messages, “What would Jesus do…” and then they themselves do the opposite. Jesus spoke of this false-religion often, read Matthew 23, He gives us a list of warnings how not to be like them. But true religion remains, “Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world” (James 1:27). Number 4 – The Leaders would Build a Corporation or Organization rather than a Family. Let’s not kid ourselves anymore. Let’s not hide from the truth or live a lie. We have to make up our minds – will we love them and build Jesus’ church upon the earth or will we continue to war against His kingdom and build this false religion? The world burns around us and listening to the pastors and religious leaders it’s all ‘business as usual’. There are no books being written entitled, “I was wrong!” or “Don’t do what I did.” I have been hoping and believing a few of these mighty men make wake up in these last days and realize There is Simply No Salvation Coming from Their Efforts! We need to take an honest accounting. Perhaps if we were doing our job: America wouldn’t be in such crisis, our youth wouldn’t be running away from our Christianity, moral decline would be stopped or even reversed!? Is there any new life or new growth coming from anywhere in our nation? The Christian leaders need to start admitting to themselves their form of religion is not merely failing, it has failed. It will be difficult at first to be honest with ourselves but it will pay off in the end. We will all stand before Him and all things will be made known. There will be no hiding from the truth in His presence. No one on earth will escape having to face the truth of who we actually are… so there is a wisdom in taking an account of ourselves now. Perhaps this truth, taking an account, is a huge piece in the way of salvation… or we can continue to deceive ourselves until the very last day and we will hear, “Depart from me, I never knew you…” That is one of the most frightening scriptures in the whole of the New Testament, “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?” (Matthew 7:21-23) “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who work iniquity!” They will say, “Lord look at the works we did! We built these churches in your name, we prophesied and healed the sick in Your name!” But the Lord will respond to this group of people, “I never even knew you…” Number 3 – They make Little or No Room for the Holy Spirit. Whose will will be done? We repeat that prayer so often, “Our Father… in heaven… ” But then forget what we just prayed moments later? I guess I am mostly writing to the church-leaders now, “Brothers, Be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.” Those who lead us will end up with the greater and stricter judgment. “Lord, help us” and “Who then can be saved?” Jesus said He would send us one who would “Lead us into all Truth” (John 16:13) but isn’t the rub, who will listen to Him? The Holy Ghost has been knocking at the doors of our hearts all along but who will let Him in? He only wants to bless us! (Do I have to quantify blessing? I’m afraid I do. These leaders are convinced that the blessing will come from wealth and a false prosperity. But that is so beneath the blessings of God.) Jesus, by His Holy Spirit, will lead us to life and we will live it more abundantly! But the question remains, who will go along with Him even when it gets frightening and the storm rages on? If the leaders won’t do it, who will? If the leaders won’t surrender their lives to the word of God and His Spirit, “as the blind leads the blind” I’m afraid, “everyone will fall into the ditch”. Take heed, brothers and sisters, who you follow and what voice you take to heart. Take heed how you gather yourselves together. Gather! Absolutely. And “All the more as you see the day approaching” (Hebrews 10:25) But beware of how you gather and in whose name you are actually gathering. I’m afraid we have been gathering in the name of men and their denominations for a long time, unaware. Jesus blessed us with His Holy Spirit but we are too often settling for the spirit of man and their mere opinion of our lives and His Church. Number 2 – They don’t Love. If they loved us, I wouldn’t have to write this article. It would be understood, the minsters of God love people - they would have already come to these same conclusions on their own. They (the Religious Rulers) would be out and among the people, they would sell of their fortunes (which they stole from the congregation in tithes and offerings) and make dispersion among those in need, they would admit to misleading us for decades and everything would change. But they don’t love us and they don’t love God. Love is revealed in action, not empty rhetoric. Although every man will be judged for what comes out of his mouth, out of our own mouths we condemn ourselves and out of our own mouths we find salvation - but words are not enough when it comes to the matters of love (and isn’t this absolutely elementary?). If they loved us, we would know it. Precious brothers and sisters in Christ, YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER! Why do we settle for so little when the kingdom of God is ours for the taking!! We settle for scraps (of love) from off the ground when Jesus invites us, “Come in and dine with me!” He wants us to sit at His table and eat with Him, listen to His voice and learn of His ways. We will not find this life and life more abundantly without Him, our enemy is too great and his deception is too clever. We must come to trust the word of God and His Spirit and walk with Him, every moment of every day. God is love. If they knew Dad they would love us. Number 1 – The Religious Leaders want to be God. And when you simplify the problem, when you boil it down completely and get rid of all the noise, you are left with this obvious conclusion: they want to be God. These religious leaders don’t want anyone to tell them anything, they won’t be corrected, they won’t listen to sound doctrine or the cries of the children in their congregations, who are practically begging them to show the way of God. Like the Pharisees before them, they love to rule, they love the honor they get in the marketplaces, they love the dominance and control but more than anything they love the money! Jesus said, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors…” and then He practically commanded us, “But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.” (Luke 22:24-30) He was explaining in short how the world functions and that we must not degrade His church to become like this broken place. “You must not rule them,” He said, “Love them, Serve them, even Wash their Feet…” (I paraphrase.) “Go down into the midst of them and show them my love.” Isn’t that the true message of Jesus’ kingdom? But that’s not sexy. The trueness of this gospel does not “sell” easily from a pulpit to the masses and so they decided long ago that they would change it around as it pleases them. But Jesus said, “Greater love has no man than this, that he would lay down his life for his friends.” And that’s the gospel, I personally, have signed up for! The gospel that says, “God loves you and wants to know you and wants you to know Him.” But when Moses called them up the mountain to meet their God, they wouldn’t go…? I’m afraid that is a huge part of the problem. Many would rather listen to a man than God. But men were unable to bring salvation to the earth. Remember? “And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me...” (Isaiah 63:5) It’s time to return to our God and Father. He never hurt us. He never wronged us. Our offense is not with Him. Our offense isn’t even with His Church. Religion and this false religion has truly made a mess of things. God’s Revival will not start within this lifeless religion, devoid of the Spirit. In Conclusion: It takes a lot of courage to walk with God. The enemy will lie to us and rehearse to us over and again the worst of our fears, he will do everything he can to manipulate us away from Dad – and he will even use the cunning of religion to do so. But some brave men must return to the kingdom of their Father! It takes tremendous strength and fearlessness to walk up the mountain of God, and to stand before Him, face to face… but as fears start to overcome us, just remember, God is love. It’s our broken and defiled flesh that makes it hard to walk with Him in the garden but His Holy Spirit will help us to find our way back! He will be our guide. Dad promised us. We don’t have anything to fear. Our flesh lies to us constantly. We have to come away from this religious deception. Paul said, “Follow me as I follow Christ”. He was saying, “In the ways you see Jesus in my life follow that.” Jesus remains The Banner lifted high! There will never come a man to take His place. Ever. If God uses a man to inspire you? Praise Him! And remember everything good about that man came from His relationship with God, by Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit. Men will fail us. God’s love will never fail. I will write in the future more about revival but in truth the whole of the Bible is about Revival! Every single time the people decided to trust God and obey His word and Holy Spirit, revival came to the land. Jonah preached God’s truth to Nineveh and from the king down to the lowest of the society, Nineveh believed God’s word and revival came to their nation. Look again at all the kings of Israel and Judah, whenever the king believed upon the word of God and led the people into a relationship back to God, revival came to Israel! It's in Dad’s heart to save our nation. But who will come? Who will return to Him, trust in His word and believe His voice? I believe Dad is about to do something amazing in our nation and upon the face of the whole earth but it won’t begin in the religions. The religions could get swept up into this – but they won’t be able to control or contain what God is doing! It’s an exciting time to be alive! Truly, The Best is Yet to Come! God said, “I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh!” ALL FLESH! What will that be like!? It's an exciting time to be alive. I hope this encourages you to return to your Father, who is Dad. To go up the mountaintop and sit at His feet and learn of His ways Know Him. Know your God and His Salvation. And God is love. There is no better place, Let God’s presence be that which you seek after And life and life more abundantly will be our reward! Amen. Blessings to the churches, You holy bride of Christ, With love and admiration, Robert

Welcoming the American Revival Series (Part One) – I very well might be a prophet!? Just days before this miraculous event started at the Asbury University Campus I wrote an essay called, “10 Reasons Revival wont Start in the Churches”. The article was a judgment on religion, well better yet false-religion and an explanation of why we haven’t seen a real nationwide revival since the 60’s and early 70’s. I gave 10 Biblical Reasons why the Spirit of God is grieved, constantly, generation after generation grieved in our version of Christianity in 21st Century America. I literally wrote the article days before God’s outpouring in Kentucky began, Wow! Since God has shown up in such a wonderful and miraculous way I would like to give encouragement but also a warning as we chose to either bless or curse what God is suddenly doing in our nation (and I have heard that this is already starting to spread to a few other college campus’! Praise God! “Come and Save Jesus! Save us Lord! Save our Nation!”): God wants to pour out His Spirit on all flesh. It’s in his heart to do so, He told His prophet so, Joel 2 “I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh”. And God is going to fulfill exactly what He said, to the very “jot” and “tittle” (for those Bible scholars reading this article), He is going to fulfill it exactly as He said: in the way and season He promised. And this is only the beginning! Amen? Now let me tell a few stories of what happened in these past revivals, one could say my opinion of why they ended and the flames smothered… but this very well could prove to be much more than opinion, I might be prophesying here!? The Azusa Street Revival started humbly in someone’s home. Few realize this about Azusa Street, it was a small group of basically rejects who were almost entirely African-American, the man of God William Seymore had just been refused from pastoring a local denomination based on account that they did not realize he was black when they hired him from afar. After he was refused the congregation, while he waited upon the Lord, fasting and praying in Los Angeles, the Lord put it on a new friend of his’ heart to open their home and start a simple prayer meeting: asking for the Holy Spirit to Come, just like in the book of Acts. I would greatly encourage you all to study it (here is a documentary an old acquaintance of mine did some years back) it’s so incredible all that God did in the early 1900’s in Los Angeles (and they say, “Can anything good come out of Los Angeles!?”). What I want us all to see, clearly, here is that religion totally and completely rejected Seymore and then his miraculous prayer meeting, even after all the miracles started and the Revival began. It would be sometime before the Christianity at large would get involved with Seymore and his “band of rabble” – years into the revival many religious folk still refused him altogether, no matter the power of the signs and wonders God was doing on Azusa Street. But the story of the Jesus People Revival in the 60’s and early 70’s to me is even more applicable. These humble, desperate, hippies started to find Jesus in Haight-Ashbury near Berkely, CA (another revival that basically started among the college and college-aged young people. Ironically – Asbury is awfully similar with Ashbury.). While what is commonly reported in history as the drug and illicit sex culture of the hippies, the truth that most secular historians fail to mention (perhaps for bias) is that these hippies were coming to Jesus by the thousands and tens of thousands, they were getting off of drugs and ceasing in their sexual perversion and the revival quickly spread the nation. Jesus had hijacked the hippie-movement and turned it into one of our nation’s most incredible spiritual revivals of all time! Perhaps the most famous of all the early hippie preachers was a man who began preaching in his twenties named Lonnie Frisbee. Lonny had a tremendous passion to convince his generation that God loved them, that the love they were looking for would not be found in sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll but in Jesus. Lonnie would baptize hundreds and thousands at a time at beaches throughout California. What started in California quickly spread like wild fire throughout nation but then the whole world: Hawaii, England, all throughout Europe, Indonesia, China, parts of Africa, etc. fires of revival were burning all over the world! The hippies started going to the nations and telling “The Whole World about Jesus and what He has done for us!!” Hawaii had a massive revival that started about the same time as what exploded in Haight-Ashbury. I became friends with the old man, Ken Smith who was often thought of as the preacher and lead minister of that “Big Island” Revival. We will truly not see all that God did during those years until we enter eternity. But religion crept in. And what was Spirit-led, organic, pure and undefiled quickly became stolen by ambitious clergy who decided that God would need their help controlling and managing His own Holy Ghost movement. Lonnie, like many others of that generation, were hurting youth and in need of Godly father-figures. Divorce had rocketed across America throughout that generation and broken families produce broken and hurting children, like Lonnie. They were turning to God out of a great desperation, Vietnam war was waging and there were countless social-political problems throughout America: Kennedy, MLK Jr., Civil Rights and thousands of our youth dying in an unpopular and controversial war that seemed to linger for years. These youth were desperate for God and God heard that generation; and answered their prayer! But religion saw its chance to ride the coat-tails of God’s Spirit, forming several new denominations and adding to their numbers greatly throughout those years. What could have happened if men had not tried to control and dominate what God was doing..? The story of Lonny Frisbee gives us clear insight into what actually happened to offend these precious innocent ones and wreck the powerful move of God throughout our nation and the world. Lonny was manipulated by some very convincing and Alpha-male type religious leaders into the belief that he needed to be not only mentored but ruled. To this day many religious leaders still adhere to this doctrine that they used to deceive Lonny which teaches that every man and woman must have rule over them – as if to say that men and women are not safe to be ruled by God and His Spirit but must have a someone of flesh and blood ruling over them throughout their lives. (Yes. This remains a prevalent doctrine throughout Christendom to this day.) At first this “Shepherding” doctrine sounds like something from God, as if to say, “God has appointed men and women to lord over your lives and even be another mediator between man and heaven”. This doctrine, among other things, seems to have convinced young Lonnie that he was not ready or safe to be the movement leader that he was and Lonny was driven away from California and went to Bible College in Florida. My personal opinion is that Lonnie’s Bible College years sowed seeds of doubt, confusion and offense into him, as he saw with innocent eyes the impurities of the religion called Christianity. I have met many who knew Lonny well and I was able to spend time with several of his close friends. After Bible College Lonny was never the same, free and loving, unincumbered and full of faith man he was on the beaches of California, again. Still breaks my heart to consider the life and ministry of this precious man of God. There is much controversy surrounding Lonny Frisbee but after having looked into these things in depth I’m reporting to you much of what I have concluded. I will let you all study up more on Lonnie, books have been written about him, there are a few documentaries out there if you are interested to hear more about this amazing man, “The Hippie Preacher”. Many will tell you of Lonnie’s sins and talk of his tragic death but I choose to honor the broken-hearted and innocent man of God, who loved Jesus until the very end. What if a real man of God had met Lonnie instead of these religious titans - a man who had the heart of a father, the heart of Our Father and was interested in loving Lonny rather than glomming on to his charisma and the power of God at work in his life? Riding the Lonny-wave to achieve their own ambitions…. Makes me grieve for Lonny and those precious young people around him even as I write about them now. But this is a new generation. I believe that this Last Days American, and soon World-Wide Revival will be entirely different from anything we have seen and God has already promised us it would be so. In many ways the revivals of the past 120 years have all been leading up to this moment, what Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24, “And then this gospel of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in all the nations and then the end will come.” Some of the gospel has been preached to the nations but the religions of men have usually been attached to those messages. Now, in these last days, this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in its perfection and then Jesus will return to rule the earth! Just as He promised, just as the angels promised, “Men of Galilee, why do you stare up into the sky? Do you not know this same Jesus, who you just saw taken up into heaven, shall return to you just as you have seen Him depart!?” (My paraphrase of Acts 1:11) Many of you will really enjoy reading the book I wrote: it’s 22 Chapters of my testimonies of my walk with God literally around the world. I titled it, “Jesus did not Start a Religion” for many reasons but while I was writing it God told me, “You are writing this book for the young generation and religion will not steal their joy!” In a way it’s the story of Jesus’ Revival alive in my life for the past 30-something years. The Revivalists will enjoy it. In closing, God wants to be our God. He is our Father and He wants to father us. Remember the first commandment, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” When we look to men as rulers and leaders in our lives often we unwittingly make them as our gods, doing what they say, listening to their words as if they are God. Our Father will bring people across our paths to teach us, it’s good to be mentored and loved, fathered and discipled, obviously. God can and does speak thru men. But some will make a relationship like this, what should be loving, giving, beautiful and free, ugly. Some among us will corrupt what God has intended as good gifts, men serving and loving the body of Christ, building instead the same kind of religion that crucified the Messiah, our Jesus, the only Begotten of the Father. Remember the parable of the tares – the enemy sowed tares (weeds) in the field together with the good wheat. Here are a few scriptures very very vital to this conversation that they won’t teach you in most churches, bible colleges, etc. “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” (John 16:13) “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” (I John 2:27) And another fundamental scripture to walking with God, “Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:25-28) Our God is more than enough! His Spirit is Alive and must never be replaced by any man in our lives. God will speak through men at times, He will speak thru women, He will speak through old and young, rich and poor, educated and simple-minded, He will speak thru a donkey, He will write on walls, He will do all kinds of marvels to speak to us. God is our Father. He loves us. He is alive and wants to make Himself known to every-single one of us, uniquely, who would call upon His Holy Name. If those proclaiming to be the ministers or God aren’t giving you plenty of room to discover your God and walk with Him, if they are dominant and demand to be in rule over you – I suggest you literally run away from them, let God be their judge. Many of us have been hoping and praying for a Great Revival to come to our nation and blanket the world with the presence of God and the knowledge of His salvation. I am writing to inspire the faith of many but also as a warning, a warning to the religious leaders and a warning to the young disciples: “It’s better you tie a millstone around your neck and cast yourself into the sea than that you would offend one of these precious innocent ones who are finding their God…” (my paraphrase of Matthew 18). Go, you precious young men and women, you are free! God will not put you back into bondage. You are free to rise and fall, you are safe to make a mistake or two: hope, play, fail, achieve, love… you are free to boldly go into the presence of your God, to come before His throne, to sit at His feet and learn of His ways. He will never demand of you. He will never manipulate, dominate or coerce you. Our God is the ultimate gentleman. He won’t jerk you around on the dancefloor and force a kiss upon your lips. He is perfect in all of His ways. None of us ministers will ever come close to competing with your own wonderful, mysterious and alive relationship with Dad. You are the children of the Living God. Now you will live your life with your Father and unto eternity! I will continue to pray that He keeps you separated from all these things that will so easily cause you to stumble and to drive an offense into your soul. This false religion has been at war with Messiah since the very beginning. That’s a very deep thought. The very first lie of our adversary could be described as the devil starting his own religion, “You can be like god… if only you follow me…” In essence that is what Satan did and has been doing since the very start, deceiving us away from Dad… But no more. He infiltrated religion. Our enemy lurks within our governments, our business enterprise, our schools, our hospitals, our churches and even our own homes… But now we are coming back to our Father, our Dad, who is the Mightiest Warrior in all the land! The General of the largest and most powerful army ever! The Lord of Hosts. The God of Angel Armies. We are returning to the King of kings, and Lord of lords. He is going to fix everything. Remain in Him. Pray without ceasing. Worship Him. Let your hearts yearn for a Word from Him… Come to walk with your God. You can not imagine the life He is about to give you, uniquely, for - “Eye has not seen, ear has not heard nor has it entered into the hearts of man What God has prepared for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose” Truly, The Best is Yet to Come!! I love you brothers and sisters… With all my heart… (But Dad loves you more!!) - Robert Anthony

Please Follow us on Gab, Minds, Telegram, Rumble, Gab TV, GETTR, Truth Social Jesus, when asked by His disciples what are the signs of the end of this age, told them about many fearful things but then said, “This is only the beginning of sorrows” – another gospel calls this “The Births Pangs”. I am of the opinion that something happened 9/11, 2001. The Lord woke me up that morning quite dramatically, I will never forget it. My alarm clock radio was going off and some woman was practically yelling, “America is under attack!” I was half asleep thinking, “How on earth is my alarm clock radio on!?” What was even stranger was that it was in the off position!? While listening to this woman quite upset about America under attack, I was trying to figure out how the dang alarm-clock radio was even on!? Finally, I had to turn it on and then back off again to finally get the thing quiet! I sat there for a moment and thought, ‘could this lady be telling the truth!?’ I thought it was like a ‘War of the Worlds’ segment or some dramatic reading. Finally, I decided to go to my room-mates room, I watch TV at the time and was taking a break from screens and entertainment in that season of life, my roommate had the cable-TV in his room. He opened his door with a look of shock and awe, he had been watching the news. We stood there together and watched the second plane fly into that second tower. It was like waking to a nightmare. I still wasn’t fully awake and still dazed from how the alarm clock (that I never used) woke me up while technically turned off!? Throughout that day the Lord was speaking to me a lot. And what I kept hearing was things like, “Everything just changed” and “You will remember this day forever” and “I am using this event to get the whole worlds attention” and finally, “This is the beginning of sorrows, the beginning of the birth pains”. I read much of the book of Revelation throughout the day and what the Lord showed me some 22 years ago continues to be proven true. “The Beginning of Sorrows” to me, refers to the time period before the very end. In this time period the Lord will be getting the whole world’s attention, practically pleading with everyone, saying, “Return to me. I never intended for you all to live this way. You were supposed to be in a garden, living with me, sinless, in abundance, full of joy!” Hebrews 12 (25-29) prophesy’s that God will once more shake the earth but not the earth only, now the heavens also! God is going to shake everything and do everything in His power to remind us, “I never intended for you to live this way. I am going to restore everything. I am going to fix all of this.” But we have to return to Him. We have to want Him. He isn’t going to force us. These “birth pangs/pains” are used metaphorically by Jesus to describe the world leading up to the end, much the way that a woman pains, terribly sometimes, before she actually goes into labor. My wife in fact had three days of horrible contractions, very painful, with our first child and then finally the labor. The labor was actually rather fast but the contractions leading up to the labor were in many ways harder. They started slowly, the pain increased as the time went by, then they became closer together and increased in intensity and pain. I think this is the absolute perfect metaphor for what we are living thru right now. As time progresses the intensity increases both in magnitude of the events and in the amount of suffering. What was happening a few times a year in the early 2000’s is now happening almost weekly and with greater calamity. The weather, the politics, the wars and rumors of wars, the world turning to strife and disagreement, plagues, Covid-19, famines, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. it’s all increasing as time progresses through these last days. If you overlay Revelation Chapter 6 with Jesus’ discussion in Matthew 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13 about the birth pains/pangs, there seems to be a congruency and similar prophecy. The first horseman of the Apocalypse (as they are sometimes referred to) comes to conquer, the second horse and its rider comes to take peace from the earth, the third horseman attacks the economics and food supply, while the fourth horseman brings death to the earth. Is this not exactly the world we are living in? I am old enough to remember the world before 9/11. Trust me it was very different. In the world pre-9/11 we hardly discussed most of the things regularly on our minds today: the end of the world, aliens, UFOs, conspiracy theory, WW3, etc. these things were simply fringe and had no effect on most of our lives. If we talked about the end of the world, we talked about it as if way off in the future for another generation, perhaps our children’s or our children’s-children’s generation? These last days Biblical events simply weren’t happening, not in frequency and not in enough intensity to provoke us to think, “Jesus is coming back so soon!” But all that changed with 9/11. The years following 9/11: wars and rumors of wars, tsunami’s, earthquakes, year after year after year, more calamity and strife throughout the nations. And now, post-Covid, it’s worse than ever. And ALL these things were prophesied a long time before we were born, to live in this time, having front-seats to witness the end of this age. It’s incredible even to be writing the words. I personally believe the fourth horseman has been unleashed. I believe that is what we experienced as Covid and then that vaccine galloped across the earth. Revelation warns us of “sorcery” several times. And what is sorcery? And why is it important when dialoging about Covid and vaccines? Have you ever watched a children’s Disney film and the witch comes to the screen with a boiling black cauldron of some brew and we see her adding a bat into the pot with some purple bubbling liquid that gives off a small explosion!? Well, that is Biblically called sorcery. Our world would probably call that a potion? But the Bible would refer to that as sorcery which is a form of witchcraft but different in that one would be creating something like a drug or potion, literally translated, “The Divining of Roots”. The Greek word for sorcery that the Bible translates from is pharmakia. And yes, it is from this pharmakia that we derive our word pharmacy. Well, isn’t that what a pharmacy is? Making potions that we ingest - the “divining of roots”? Revelation warns us that death will be unleashed upon the earth but also that man will turn to sorcery/pharmakia to combat it (Revelation 9)!? This was written 2000 years ago!! Wow! How amazingly accurate is the Bible! In eternity perhaps we will be asked, “So where were you at the end of the world?” Perhaps they will find out we were alive in these times, perhaps in eternity we will be much more aware of what an amazing and important time to be alive? And what will we be able to say we were doing throughout these years? Were we busy trying to convince the world to righteousness? Or did we hide out in our bunkers, with our stockpiles of guns, food and gold bullion!? (I jest a little.) There has never been a better time to shine than right now! There has never been a better time to know our God and Father than 2023! God wants to bring salvation to the earth! He always has. That has always been His heart. And what if no one is interested??? What if we are all so busy trying to find our own salvation? Building spaceships to the stars, amassing armies and arsenals, getting ready for WW3, stockpiling savings accounts, gold and silver and doing everything we can to make sure we are going to survive… But who is seeking their God? In times like these, with eternity at our doors, it might be more important to prepare our hearts and souls meet our God, face to face… wouldn’t you think? But instead we run to the stores and stock pile toilet paper… toilet paper of all things!? If we leave our Father, the truth is, there is plenty to fear. But with our God… death has no victory, this world can not overcome us, we are free from the law of sin and death! The most triumphant ending to any story ever is unfolding upon the earth. And God has to shake everything. It’s the only way to get our attention. When times are good it’s business as usual. God has to shake us out of our slumber so we finally consider these things. Now some will only harden their hearts but many will turn away from these things of sin and corruption and they will find the salvation of the Lord! The truth is, these four horsemen are helping us to find our way back to God, before it is too late. At the end of this age, everything changes. The die is cast and then the judgment. This is our time to give our lives for a purpose, for a heavenly and everlasting purpose. We won’t have another shot at this. We get one life. One life to offer as a living sacrifice to our God before heaven, to show Him we love Him and we love His people. I pray this message encourages you. I pray you are not filled with shame or guilt but instead Hope - that you remember the goodness of God and return to Him, or if you are already with Him, I pray that this message inspires your faith and provokes you to live for Christ like you’ve never lived before!! A Great Victory is ahead for us!! Now is the time to believe!! There’s never been a better time to walk with God then right now Here… at the world’s end. I hope you are blessed by this… Much love to the saints, You shine God’s light And you keep the darkness at bay!! More to come… In fact, The Best is yet to Come!! - Robert Anthony

Please Follow us on Gab, Minds, Telegram, Rumble, Gab TV, GETTR, Truth Social Have you ever considered what would happen if God stepped into our world? I mean in a very literal way. Maybe while we are at work and suddenly there is an uproar because a lover of Jesus just prayed for a person blind from their birth and their eyes opened! Maybe at the supermarket someone close to Jesus started preaching by the produce department, a crowd gathered around and people thru tears and repentance started falling to their knees and giving their lives to Christ! Maybe at the scene of a terrible car accident wherein a man and his family all died but a follower of Jesus, full of faith prayed for them and they all came back to life! How would we respond if God very literally stepped into our world? What if you met a man at the Department of Motor vehicles who seemed to know a lot about you but you had never met this person before in your life. What if he started to tell you mysteries about your life, things that no one on earth could possibly know, maybe even your own wife!? What if he started to proclaim some of the mysteries of God’s kingdom and then, as if a ghost, suddenly disappear!? What if a man looking almost like a beggar steps into the back door of your church and comes right up to the pulpit in the middle of the pastors sermon and gently and humbly asks if he could say something… what if the pastor refused and without thought asks the stranger to either sit down or to leave the church… what if the man insists that he has a message to give the church from God… and again, after the pastor refusing the glory of God shines upon the man as he leaves and you realize God had just walked into the building just before the stranger disappears. There are so many stories, real life stories I have to tell from my own life about God stepping into our world. We can call these, Holy Disruptions or Suddenly Moments. The fact of the matter is that God did step into our world, in the corruptible flesh of a man, born of a virgin woman, by the power of the Holy Spirit, therefore He is the Son of God. God’s own Son came to us, He quite literally stepped into our world. How did they receive Him? Have you read the stories? If God came into our world in 2023, in America, into our lives, our town halls, our hospitals, our supermarkets, our churches, our street corners and malls, How would we receive Him? God just showed up to a small town in Kentucky, at a rather nondescript university called, Asbury. He disrupted everything. Class schedules, small town politics, the traffic, the peaceful life of main street, their one grocery store and few small motels were all suddenly turned upside down! When God shows up everything changes. Everything. And many of us have been praying for this! Many of us have been praying, fasting, preaching, hoping and believing that God would show up and change our nation and save us! But what are we really praying for, in truth? We are praying for a tremendous disruption to invade our world and change everything. All of Christianity changed after the Welsh Revival, then came Azusa Street and everything changed again, for the whole world, missionaries went world-wide with this message of God’s Spirit alive! The tent revivals started and things all changed again in America and the world. Billy Graham’s televised crusades and the Jesus People movement changed everything again. But then there seemed to be a lull. Benny Hinn and many of the tele-evangelists and miracle workers showed up on the scene but the revival seemed to slow down quite a bit. Church attendance started to peak and then slowly started sliding downhill. The next twenty years plus we had to witness pastor after pastor and church after church fall apart for sexual immorality and various issues of greed and immorality. The past twenty years have been especially hard on us Christians. It’s been challenging navigating Christianity in America this 21st Century, watching a generation rise and fall. But many of us have not stopped believing in the goodness of God and His faithfulness, for every generation. Jesus came into the world at the appointed time. And at large the world did not receive Him. At the height of His ministry, when He entered the city of Jerusalem, riding on a colt, only a band of rabble, a few thousand maybe at best, were there to receive Him as king. They cried out and worshipped Him, “Hosanna, Hosanna in the heightest, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” But only a day or so later the crowd shouted to Pilot, “Crucify Him! We have no king but Caesar!” How few actually received Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us, standing before us, loving us day by day, living in our midst? So few actually received Him. Revival is all about God Himself showing up in our world. The miracles that God has done thru me, I never took credit for them, ever. I was always fully aware that this was in fact God’s doing. Did He use me as a vessel? At best. But God has spoken thru donkey’s and used prostitutes and sinners to perform His will, how much really does He need any of us in order for Him to show up on the scene, like at Asbury…. God showed up on that college campus after a young man started repenting at a humble chapel service, crying out “God to save me!” The hearts cry of that young man started a several week event that has now spread to college campuses around the nation. Revival is all about being inconvenienced. We have these lives, and schedules, and agenda’s, plans and goals, we have these desires and bills, and mortgages, and marriages and children… but then in the midst of all of this, sometimes quite suddenly, God shows up. And when God shows up, how will we respond? Jesus came to His disciples quite suddenly, practically out of nowhere and said, “Come and follow me.” James and John, Peter and Andrew were all fisherman and literally in the middle of the days work… but they chose the better thing, they left everything behind and went and followed Jesus. Our Holy Bible would look quite differently had they responded otherwise. We read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John because those men responded to God when He showed up in their lives – but how differently would the story have gone if no one responded to God, standing before them? But now look to eternity. As hard as it is, try and picture the kingdom of God as we first enter it – will we enter with boldness and confidence because of how we loved Him or will we, even as Christians, enter heads hung low, wondering why we are even there because of how average a Christian-life we lived? We will all stand before Him one day. What will we say? “Sorry Lord, it just wasn’t convenient…” or “It was all yours, Lord, everything. I’m glad I gave it all to you…” They ended the meetings, I understand, at Asbury. Maybe it was the Lord shifting things? Maybe it was God showing them that He has a better plan…? But I fear otherwise. I fear that Jesus was still there and wanting to do more for His people but the rulers had had enough of Jesus and asked Him to move on. I hope I’m wrong. We may never know for certain this side of eternity. But, “Lord, if you show up on my property, if you show up in my town or my school, or my business, or my church – I commit to you now in writing before all these people, I will not ask you to leave. Period. If you bless me with your presence in such a way, please stay as long as you like. I will make room for you. I will allow you to bless your people however you would like.” “Father, look at the hearts of those who love you. Do not look at merely the hearts of our ruling elite but look at the hearts of the people… they want you Jesus… they are saying in their hearts, “Hosanna, Hosanna in the heightest, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” And they are laying down beautiful offerings of worship and praise at your feet. Come for your people. We will receive you.” “If our hearts are not ready, prepare our hearts…” “We are broken and afraid, incomplete and imperfect but we want you Lord…” “Come Lord Jesus, Come…” “We won’t turn you away…” “Amen.” I was preaching the end of last year and I said, “2023 will be a year of preparation.” I encouraged everyone to prepare their hearts for what the Lord is about to do. Get ready. I encourage every one of you who wants God to prepare yourselves. God is about to show up in our nation in a mighty mighty way, and spread throughout the nations! It’s an exciting time to be alive. The Best is Yet to Come! Much love friends, Robert
