Prayers For ISIS Fighters Being Answered

Nearly a year ago, I called the readers of this blog to prayer not only for the persecuted Christians, especially in the Middle East, but also for their oppressors, the ISIS fighters.

The reason why they are staging now more terrorist attacks around the world is because they are losing ground in the Middle East, not only militarily, but most of all spiritually.

Many Islamic fighters were deeply moved by the love showed to them by many Christians even as they were being murdered, they cannot shake off the peace that they saw in their eyes, and they cannot forget their courage.

But most of all, many of them are seeing visions of Jesus Himself, who comes to them in their dreams showing them His scars( Islam teaches that Jesus was never really crucified) and calling them to live for Him instead of killing others.

Last week, one of my Arabic speaking friends shared with me some testimonies of ISIS fighters becoming followers of Jesus and asking Christians to forgive them and to pray for them. I cannot share too many details of those very supernatural conversions here as to not identify them, but I am sharing this with you to encourage you to continue to pray for them. God is answering our prayers.

In this context, I understand more and more why the Lord told us to "bless those who curse us and pray for those who persecute us." We must remember that our battle as apostle Paul taught us, is not against flesh and blood. Do not look at people who mistreat you as your enemies, the real enemy is that evil spiritual  force that keeps them in bondage and uses them to hurt us and hurting them as well in the process.

Satan is real and he hates humanity, but Jesus came, died, and rose again to save those who are lost, even those who you might consider an enemy. No matter who is it that causes you pain, a nasty coworker, your in-laws, whoever it is. Bless them, show them kindness, pray for them instead of returning evil for evil, and see how God will change the situation you are in for the better of both you and them. This is the gospel in action and the power of God. This is what those ISIS fighters do not have and when they experience it, they will be changed forever. The Gospel of Jesus Christ won over many hateful ideologies before and will win over this one as well. The victory is on our side already.

Keep Praying!

UK Voted To Leave The EU: What It Means For Europe And Global Economy

As of 7 AM this morning UK time, it became official. Great Britain decided by the margin of 4% to

leave European Union. It is no doubt a historic event as it will shape the future of not only UK and EU, but the rest of the world as well.

The people of Great Britain decided to reclaim its sovereignty despite of bullying and scare tactics from the globalists. This will be a big shock to already weak EU, but I believe it will work for good despite of initial scares on the stock market, unless of course the elites decide to make an example of Britain and initiate global economic crush in order to scare all nations into some sort of global economic and later a political union instead.

This would kind of fall in line with what late brother John Paul Jackson predicted about some major event in Europe triggering  a sharp decline in the value of euro, which then US dollar would follow within a week. He also said that this same event would lead to the reform of the EU in which Poland would play a major role, I guess we will have to wait and see if he was correct.

I think it just depends on how EU will react to this news. People on the Brexit side made it clear that though they will be leaving EU, they desire a  good economic relationship with the rest of Europe, and that there will be no radical change in the way Great Britain conducts business. The process of leaving itself will take minimum 2 years according to the EU regulations, which other EU members will be watching closely.

We must pray now for wisdom for both British politicians and EU politicians to wisely implement the will of  majority of the British people. It would be great if EU became once again more of an economic than political union, though the global elites who dream of ruling one world government will not be happy about this.

Prophetically, I think it would slow down the implementation of the new world order and give us more time to pray for people, nations, and to share the gospel with them. My country of Poland had never as yet experienced a strong move of God , and  keeping their sovereignty following the example of Great Britain would open the door to that and bring more stability once again in Europe. In a long run, I think it will make UK stronger, and will force the rest of EU to reform for the better. I hope and pray that this will be the case.

Two Years To Jerusalem 2018

Back in May 2008, I published an article titled "The Countdown To Jerusalem 2018," in which I

shared the pattern that my husband and I noticed in Scriptures. That pattern links number 70 to very important events in the history of the Jewish people culminating in the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in A.D. 70 , which fulfilled the prophecy given by Jesus Christ nearly 30 years earlier.

In the same prophecy recorded in the New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke; Jesus predicted that the destruction of the temple will not be the end of this age, but only the "beginning of sorrows." We reasoned that if that pattern holds, then something very significant for Israel should take place in the year 2018 because it will be the year in which Israel will celebrate 70th anniversary of its rebirth, which itself was part of Jesus' prophecy about the end times in which we are now living.

"But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And then he will send out the angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away." ( Mark 13: 24-31)

The fig tree always symbolises the nation of Israel. When Jesus cursed a fig tree that did not bring its fruit when He was hungry, He was showing that God the Father in like manner will judge the nation for not repenting at the preaching and ministry of His Son, but He was also saying in the above passage that after judgement has passed there will come the time of mercy and rebirth, which is signified by the budding of the fig tree.

From the context of this passage we also inferred that this rebirth was the sign that the Second Coming of the Son of God was nearing, and just like in A.D. 70 came judgement, so 70 years from the time of rebirth will come the redemption or the beginning of the season of redemption in Israel.

We predicted that as the time of 2018 will come closer other signs that Jesus spoke of will be intensifying. There will be more wars, revolutions, more social unrest,  more epidemics, natural disasters including more mega earthquakes, and economic shaking or even a collapse.

All of these we are witnessing year after year, since 2008, the year of the so called "Great Recession," from which global economy hasn't really recovered. Then came the "Arab Spring", out of which a barbaric blood thirsty group called ISIS emerged wreaking havoc not only in Middle East, but all over the world. There were couple of pandemics, several mega earthquakes such as in Japan ( 2011) or more recently in Nepal (2015). It is a quite a decade to say the least.

Then there were also "signs in the heavens" such as the four blood moons each one of them falling on a Jewish holiday, and following that  is the year of Jubilee, which many are saying begins the last 70th Jubilee cycle during which the Messiah is believed to return.

Orthodox Jewish groups in Israel are preparing to rebuild the temple, which will be The Third Temple, they even revived the practice of the sacrifice of the Passover lamb on the replica of the altar as a sign of their faith that soon the temple will be in fact rebuilt, and perhaps in 2018 something will happen that will bring it closer to reality. I guess we will still have to wait and see for couple of more years. One thing is certain, whether they will rebuild the temple or not, Jesus will return just as He said he would and we might have anywhere from 2 -50 years until that Day if our biblically educated guesses are correct. No one can know the exact Day and hour, but we sure can know the season and are commanded by God to watch the signs and to be ready.

What's Behind The Rise of Donald Trump And Other Rogue Politicians

Main stream media all over the world are watching in fear as Donald Trump wins state after state in

the United States' primaries, wondering how their own politicians and the public would react to the possible future election of President Trump.

Trump seems to defy all political rules with his highly divisive and politically incorrect statements that in the time past would render a politician unelectable, and he is not the only Western politician who has done that.

Everyone, including the left leaning media, were stunned when Justin Trudeau won the Canadian Federal Elections back in October. To be fair, his rhetoric was not  the same type as Trump's, but it was extreme nevertheless.

Trudeau used to praise Chinese dictatorial regime for the ease with which they pass legislation, admitted to smoking pot while in office as an MP, fought for the right of convicted terrorists to keep their Canadian citizenship, and promised to run $10 billion deficits  each year as Prime Minister.

It seems that everywhere in the world the people show rebellion against establishment whatever that establishment is at the time in each respective country.

Rebellion against the establishment is at the root of current war in Syria, out of which ultra terrorist group known as ISIS was born turning the majority of Middle Eastern countries into turmoil, which then spilled into Europe in the form of the ongoing refugee crisis.

And while the Churches of Asia, Africa, and Middle East are dealing with the most widespread persecution in the history with thousands murdered daily for their faith in Christ, the majority of Western Churches are falling away from their faith by embracing doctrines that are clearly against what  was taught by Jesus Christ and the early Church fathers. They are embracing sexual immorality of various kinds in the name of "love" and "tolerance", some have even denied Jesus and God the Father altogether...other major Western Church leaders deny Jesus as the Only way to The Father preaching that good deeds are enough to get to heaven, and that heaven and hell are not even real places, but only "states of the soul." Professing men of God think nothing of cheating on their wives, divorcing them, and then marrying another.

So, if the majority of the Church is in such a state of apostasy how can we expect any discernment on the part of general population? In the words of Jesus, if the salt lost its flavour, then how can one expect to flavor anything with it?

These are the signs of the times that our Lord Himself had predicted, "Then will they hand you over to be persecuted and killed, and you will be hated by all nations on account of My name. 
At that time many will fall away and will betray and hate one another,  and many false prophets will arise and mislead many. 

Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.  But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. " ( Matthew 24:9-14)

 

So what is behind the rise of Donald Trump and other rogue politicians in the West and elsewhere? It is rebellion that is rampant in the society because the love of the Church has grown cold. Let us not count on politicians to change the world. We are the salt of this earth, let us make sure that each one of us individually retains His flavor. Let us all as many as read this be the ones who persevere staying true to Jesus, and preaching the true undiluted gospel as a testimony to all nations before the end of this age finally comes. The Judgement of this world has already begun and the nations who rejected God are allowed to face the consequences of it, but those who continue to serve The Lord will grow strong and carry out great exploits. It is both the worst of times and the best of times in the history of this world.

ISIS Declares War On Europe

No one is actually calling it this way, but by the wave of recent suicide bombings in Turkey,

France, and today in Belgium, the infamous Islamic terror group known as ISIS, ISIL, or DAESH effectively declared war on Europe, thus spilling the violence from Middle East to the Western world.

It is clear that the politically correct approach to the problem of Islamic violence is not working. It would be wrong to go from this  into another extreme of penalizing all Muslim people for this like the American Presidential hopeful, Donald Trump, suggested when he stated that he would "ban all the Muslims from entering America," but it is clear that the authorities need to be more vigilant and the hateful ideology that is feeding this violence must be confronted, otherwise these attacks will increase in frequency and severity.

These people clearly are attacking the Western way of life and want us all to live in fear. America and Canada are not immune to this either. Both Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau need to step up the security, or North America will sooner or later suffer the same problems as Europe now does. ISIS is losing in Middle East and will try to appear stronger than it really is by attempting more attacks around the world.

As Christians, we need to in turn step up our prayers for the Muslim people. We need to pray that God would reveal the Truth to them and set them free from satanic ideas that cause them to commit these murderous acts, even if it is just one minute of your time everyday, make sure that you pray. It is an ever intensifying spiritual war that manifests itself in physical violence. Satan knows that he doesn't have much time left, so he causes unstable and desperate people to wreak havoc around the world. Pray also for wisdom for our political leaders, so that their actions or the lack of it would not make the problem worse.

When Sudden Destruction Comes

"Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober. For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night."

Those were the words of apostle Paul written to the church of Thessalonica nearly 2000 years ago. I was reminded of that verse when a dear friend of mine who rarely receives any prophetic dreams and visions told me about a dream vision she did have on October 16 th of this year.

In this dream vision she was watching TV when a regular programming was interrupted with a message "destruction in 400 days." She felt that it was a warning that was issued once before and she had a sense of unease and foreboding, as well as a desire to warn others, but had no specifics of where this would take place and what kind of destruction it would be.

When we calculated 400 days from the time she received this vision, we arrived at the date of November 20, 2016. This day interestingly coincides with the end of the "holy year of mercy" of which the beginning Pope Francis proclaimed just yesterday and celebrated it with a show of nature photography using St. Peter's Basilica in Rome as the background.

Could it be referring to Rome? It is quite possible, but we just don't know for sure as we were not given any more information. What we do know for sure though is what the Scriptures tell us will happen in the end times.

The Book of Revelation clearly describes the destruction of the city of Rome in the end times and the Roman Catholic prophecies of st. Malachy as well as the third secret of Fatima seem to echo this as well, though I do not give them the same credence as I do to the Scriptures. But it is a very interesting convergence nevertheless.

Apostle Paul stated clearly that this sudden destruction will be a form of judgment upon  unbelievers and their world system and he charges us to be "sober" and "alert." We can see that the various parts of the world system are unravelling right now and the world leaders including the Pope are trying to use the issue of climate change to bring global unity, calling effectively for UN to begin acting as de facto world government.

This in turn will only pave the way for the appearance of the man whom the Bible calls the Antichrist, who will eventually become a global dictator. In addition to that, just recently, there was a conference held in the United States regarding the ethics of a new technology of DNA editing  that will in theory allow scientists to delete genetic mutations that cause a disease, but it will also alter a person irreversibly in possibly unforeseen ways as well.

Now we have the power  not only to destroy our environment, but also to alter our own genetic code. The Bible warned us of the consequences of that in the story of Noah's flood, in which God was forced to intervene because His creation was being corrupted by genetic experiments done on both animals and human beings by fallen angels. Most people focus on the sin of violence as a reason for this judgment, but a careful study reveals that there was much more going on than that.

Jesus warned us that the days before His second coming would be just like the days of Noah and this is what is happening now. God promised that he would not completely annihilate the world, but He will intervene by destroying the corrupt world system before it destroys the earth.

I encourage all my readers to watch  following video that deals with those very issues.

 

             

The Hour of Darkness : Paris Attacks Open New Chapter In War With ISIS

We were all rocked to our core by the recent terror attacks that killed more than 100 people in Paris last week. The question on most people's minds is, "Where will they hit next?"

Others are wondering why God is allowing this madness and how can people do such things in the name of God. Those were the very questions on the minds of Jesus' disciples when they witnessed Him being arrested like some criminal in the garden of Gethsemane over 2000 years ago.

He explained this by saying to those who were arresting Him, "When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness."(Luke 22:53)

It looked like the evil was having an upper hand when Jesus was arrested, brought to false trials, tortured, and executed. And so it does today when we see people, most of them innocent civilians including women and children being tortured, raped, and killed in the name of Islam by ISIS fighters.

Even though it is easier for us to identify with the victims of Paris attacks, we still realize that much greater carnage is going on everyday in Middle East with no end in sight.

The conflict is intensifying with more world powers being drawn into it and more fanatics, as many as 30, 000 fighters recently, are being recruited by ISIS militants from around the world. It is the hour  and  power of darkness.

But we know the end from the beginning already. We know from the Bible that this hour will not last. There will be those who will resist and who are already resisting and overcoming this evil by the blood of the lamb ( Jesus), by the word of their testimony, and by laying down their lives  for their faith if they have to.

It is midnight on the prophetic clock. It is dark, but there is a call going out for all the virgins ( Christians) to wake up because the bridegroom is coming. So, it is time for us to trim our lamps, fill them with oil and shine in the midst of this darkness.

It is not right to hate or worse to attack the Muslims now because majority of them are not fanatics at all. We have the opportunity now to reach them with the Gospel, which now contrasts more than ever with the hate of the fanatics.

We are to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. While we condemn the violence of ISIS and expose Islam for what it really is, we must still share the love of God with Muslims, we must reach them with the Gospel before the fanatics reach them with their message of violence and hate. And we must pray against more of those attacks and pray for our political leaders to be wise, vigilant, and not to underestimate the enemy.

After Paris attacks, we know that the new chapter in war with ISIS had just opened. It is no more  a far away Middle East problem. It could happen anywhere, but we cannot give in to fear. It is time to shine  our light forth brighter than ever before.
