PART 16: The Arrest"

The Russian izba cabin where Sergey lived was not empty while he was gone. Sergey’s brown cat sat on its favorite seat, a rocking chair a short distance from a green potbelly stove. A fire crackled in the stove, warming the home in preparation for soon-to-arrive travelers. A bearded man, dressed in white, stood in the room. He wore a white, long sleeve shirt, white trousers, and sand-colored boots. He appeared to be in his early thirties and had toned muscles and brown hair. The cat would not have known that an angel had been taking care of it while its owner was gone.

Suddenly, the angel vanished right as the cat’s eyes closed shut. A few minutes passed before the animal peered out from its comfortable seat and listened to the ambient sounds in the room: the crackling fire in the stove, the hum of light bulbs in a ceiling fixture, and the sound of the wind blowing gently against the windows outside.

The cat hopped down to the ground and looked around the room while its ears shifted positions, listening for the man dressed in white. The cat knew its owner had not turned up yet. It knew that a man (named Vasily), who was staying at its owner’s house, was forcibly removed from the home by Russian soldiers, who arrested him. It had no idea that the soldiers had come to the home to arrest its owner Sergey.

The soldiers had arrested Vasily because they thought he had helped Sergey and his Christian guests escape, even though he hadn’t, for Vasily had called in the raid by reporting the Christians to the authorities. Many hours after Vasily was gone and the house was empty of humans, a man dressed in white had appeared in the home. The cat did not see the man materialize from thin air, but it saw him come from the second story down the staircase. The man had fed the cat and had kept the house warm while the cat’s owner, Sergey, was gone.

Now, as the cat looked around for the kind man who was dressed in white, it suddenly jumped several feet into the air, surprised, and ran to a corner of the room, terrified at what had just happened.

The five friends stood on a woven rug that rested on a hardwood floor in Steve’s living room. Steve was praying for the group and requesting that their Heavenly Father God would guide them and lead them in the ministry in communistic Russia, where suspicion and fear were rampant. Under the new Russian government no Christians could worship together, except in Russian Orthodox churches or in liturgical churches that were controlled by the communistic government.

Any other churches were outlawed and the members were to be arrested and put into labor camps. Steve prayed for the Christians in the labor camps and for the people in the small town of Medvedski where Sergey came from, requesting that their eyes might be opened to see that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that only Jesus Christ can save them from their sins.

After Steve finished praying, Sergey (a burly, middle-aged Russian with a longish brown beard) cleared his throat and said, “I feel God is showing me to pray for my old coworker, Vasily Volvakov. God showed me that Vasily is now a believer in Jesus Christ and that he is in a difficult time in his life.”

Alexei, a red-bearded Russian man in his late thirties, looked at Sergey with a questioning look, combined with surprise. “Really? Vasily is saved?”

“Yes,” Sergey said to Alexei. “I don’t know what happened after God had translated me and the other people staying at my house, but I know Vasily was not with our group. He also had expressed skepticism about Christianity. And, God had showed me that Vasily had reported me to the communist authorities, but God had translated us away from Medvedski before the Russian soldiers could reach my izba home.”

“Did God show you where Vasily is now?” Jason Harper (a clean-shaven Caucasian American in his thirties) said.

“No,” Sergey said, shaking his head. “I don’t know, but I know that Vasily needs our prayers.”

HURRICANE MARIA - A STORM OF THE CENTURY (Sept. 20, 2017)

(Click for photo source.)


HURRICANE MARIA - A STORM OF THE CENTURY 


Hurricane Maria is striking Puerto Rico right now (Sept. 20, 2017).  The people there will likely experience great destruction of their homes, businesses, church buildings, and livelihoods. I encourage you to pray for them and seek God about this storm. 


I believe God is allowing it to strike the Caribbean region, after Hurricane Irma plowed through, as a sign of judgment to come in the near future. God is pleading with people to turn to Him for salvation and to make Him their solid fortress against the "storms" of (the spiritual realm called) Hell and (the problem of) sin. 


Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. There is no other one we can call on to be saved from the storm of sin and damnation in Hell. The Bible says that we have all sinned and that none is righteous. 


Romans 3:23 says: "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" [End quote].


Only Jesus can save us.


In the Bible book of Acts, chapter 4, verses 10-12, Peter said:

PART 14: Supernatural Strength"



The steel cell door creaked open and a flashlight shined into Vasily’s face, causing him to close his eyes briefly before opening them a crack. Three armed men in camouflage fatigues stood in the doorway, looking at him grimly. Each had close-cropped hair and a grim expression on his face.

Vasily had been in solitary confinement for a couple days. He was incarcerated at a concentration camp in Siberia. Most of the men he had joined in an escape attempt had been caught and also placed in solitary confinement cells. One, Boris Dernov, had been shot in the shoulder as he was making his escape on a stolen snowmobile. He was recovering in the camp hospital.

“Get up,” a soldier said gruffly, motioning toward Vasily with his hand.

The 60-year-old Russian slowly stood to his feed from the hard sleeping pad he had been sitting on.

“What is going on?” Vasily said.

PART 13: The Nature of the Antichrist"


What do you think of Guang Yan?” Steve asked Sergey as they sat underneath the shade of a bamboo umbrella at a circular, mahogany table in Steve’s back yard.

Spanish Ship
"...The Aztecs believed that their god Quetzalcoatl would appear as 
a white man and would come back to them at some point in time. 
The ancient Hawaiians also believed in a god, named Lono, who 
would return to them. ... When Cortez and the Spanish with him 
reached the Aztecs, some of the Aztecs thought he fulfilled 
the ancient prophecies for the coming of Quetzalcoatl.
Steven and Sarah’s single-story, two-bedroom house sat on a green patch of land where a small garden flourished. Several Japanese red-leaf maple trees dotted the yard. An electric lawn mower was parked in a small, wooden shed at the corner of the yard beside a white fence.

“He is a nice, godly man,” Sergey said, sipping iced tea. “After hearing his talk, I have determined to trust God and His Word. I could see that the young people in that group, which Guang was teaching, were determined to make the choice to trust God. And, they inspire me.”

Setting the glass of tea down, Sergey said emphatically, “I want to live like the Apostle Paul. I want to trust in God for what is humanly impossible. For, with God, all things are possible, if they are in agreement with His Nature.”

“Amen,” Steve said.

After a pause, Sarah said, “So, Sergey, how do you feel about returning to your village in Russia?”

“I have,” Sergey said, “a little reservation about it, but I want to go because I feel that the people there need to hear the Gospel and see the Gospel demonstrated.”

“God had shown us,” Steve said, “that we were to return there, but we didn’t know exactly when, until God spoke to both me and Sarah while we were having our personal devotional times with Him earlier.”

“When did He show you?” Sergey asked, leaning forward, placing his elbows on the table.

Message from God. “Your Nation Shall Experience Fires, Destructions, Calamities, and Chaos." (Sept. 17, 2017)

(Click for source.)
Message from God. “Your Nation Shall Experience Fires, Destructions, Calamities, and Chaos."


Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,


We are going through trials and difficulties, such as the loss of jobs, family problems, work-related problems, financial problems, and other difficulties, but God will deliver us as we look to Him, and put Him first. This message from God will show us future events that shall happen soon, and shall affect us and all those in this country of America, and likely Canada too.

A Message from God. God’s Call to America and to His Church in These Last Days before Judgment Falls and America Is Destroyed (Sept. 17, 2017)

(See source)
God’s Call to America and to His Church in These Last Days before Judgment Falls and America Is Destroyed [A Message from God] (Sept. 17, 2017)


[This is the title God chose for this message.]

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,


God is calling out to us to seek Him, and get to know Him, and to do His best will during the short time left in earth’s history before the end of America and the coming of Christ (which happens at God’s appointed time).


He desires us to follow His guidance, and He promises to bless us greatly if we do. The blessings that God gives us are primarily spiritual, and then emotional, and then physical (such as food, clothing, etc.). To receive these blessings we need to be humble, and trusting in God, and obeying what He shows us to do (Matthew 6:33, Psalm 37:3).

Finding the Living Bread, and True Life, and True Love

September 16, 2017 // Print Document 

Jesus Christ revealed to me some truth about John chapter 6 that He wants me to share with you. I encourage you to seek Father God about this. He will show you the truth if you seek Him and wait on Him. All glory be to Jesus Christ's Name!

Jesus Christ said in John 10:27: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:"

God said to me: "My son, I am with you and I love you very much. I have a message for you to share with all people that will read this message. It is for them to seek Me about and to find in Me the Answer that they need. I will reveal truth about these scriptures in John chapter 6 to help My people see Who I really am. And, I the LORD your GOD and Abba Father have spoken."

The loving Abba Father God had me post up these verses below. After these verses, you will see a message from God explaining something about them which I feel God would like you to seek Him about.

John 6:22-27

22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;

23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)

24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

The Trials of Faith and the Deliverance from Them (9-15-17)

The Trials of Faith and the Deliverance from Them
[Messages from God about John 6, given on 9-15-17] // Print Document
John chapter 6 has a great message through it. We’ll look at the first 21 verses of this chapter and see some of the things that God reveals about these verses. I sought Him about these verses and He gave me these messages. Please take time to seek God to confirm to you these messages or to show you what He wants you to know about them. If you do not know God's Name (i.e. are not a born-again Christian), you can also benefit from them. (If you would like to be saved and born-again, read this.)
Verse 2. Regarding this verse, God said to me: “People will follow Me because they want miracles but not because they want Me. They desire the miracles more than they desire Me.” “My son, the people who wanted the miracles, but didn’t want Me, are people who love the blessings of having wealth, and material possessions, and friends, and Church, and fellowship with Christians, but they do not truly love Me. That is correct. And, I the LORD your GOD and Abba Father have spoken.”

Verse 3. God said: “I move away from the crowds and went to have close fellowship with My disciples.” “My disciples left all to follow Me, but the majority of the crowds did not actually desire Me. That is something to think about. I am speaking of how the crowds followed Me to get miracles and bread, but they did not actually desire to truly leave all and follow Me. They left Me once they believed that I was not going to deliver them from the Romans. They forsook Me because they were the people that loved this world more than they loved Me. And, I the LORD your GOD and Abba Father have spoken.”

PART 12: Doctrine of Faith


Under the leafy branches of maples, angelica trees, and oriental beech trees, a group of young Asians was gathered. They sat on folding chairs in a peaceful park that contained brooks, ponds, and manicured gardens. Sergey sat down on a bench nearby and listened to Guang Yan, an elderly Chinese man, teaching from the Bible. Sergey was glad, for the time being, to be in the The Mountain of Peace Village, a city of refuge provided by God for the blessing of His children during the last days.

Chapter Eleven


PART 11: Mark Mzembi



A dark blue motorcycle roared down the highway. Its driver wore a green helmet with a closed visor, a nylon jacket, and khaki cargo trousers, which ruffled in the constant blast of air. Wind tugged on two backpacks strapped to the Honda Shadow Ace, which powered Mark Mzembi through South Africa. He had recently come from Zimbabwe and was heading toward Johannesburg.

Mark suddenly swerved around a wooden board that had fallen out of a pickup truck some distance ahead, missing it by inches. If he hit the board, the motorcycle might have crashed, possibly killing him or giving him severe injuries, but he trusted God to protect him. He was used to zipping down highways at 80 kilometers per hour* or more on his Honda Shadow Ace. [*Or about 50 mph.]

Chapter Ten


PART 10: The Market



“Tell me, Steven, what is the reason this town is so happy and that the weather is warm in the winter?” Sergey said.

They were in a large market place square filled with carts heaped with food, which included apples, oranges, peaches, dates, and wheat. Men and women stocked wooden carts with fresh produce and others moved from cart to cart and selected fruit and other foods, without paying a penny or any denomination of currency. It was a market where food was neither bought nor sold. It was just given away.

“God is the Light of the world,” Steven said, “and He is the source of Light in this village. It is He who provides warmth to this city of refuge and who makes sure that plenty of food is available without much work being done to get it.”

Steven reached over and picked up an apple from a fruit cart under the second-story balcony of a four-story wooden building. Each story had a balcony and railing with an intricate Chinese design formed of wood-framed rectangles arranged in vertical and horizontal positions. Bright, vibrant banners hung from protruding poles in the upper stories, which displayed portions of Bible verses in Chinese. The bright fabric slowly flapped and ruffled in a light breeze, making it seem they had come alive.

“Food grows three times faster in this village and in the land nearby than elsewhere in Eurasia,” said Steve. “Even when the days are shorter and the sunlight is less bright, produce and wheat will still grow at the same rate because God has blessed this ground to provide for His children.”

Horses neighed nearby as they were detached from the food carts and brought to a park half a block away to graze on green grass. The park was surrounded by buildings but it contained young trees, water fountains, food troughs supplied with oats, and a stable in one corner. A high wooden fence surrounded the perimeter to keep the equines contained.

“The people are happy, Sergey,” said Steve, “because God gives us joy and because the people here have gone through trials preparing them for coming to this city. Spiritual and emotional dross was removed from their lives, and they came forth shining, and resembling Jesus Christ in their behavior and lives, more and more.”

Children laughed and giggled, running through the streets and city square, playing a game of tag. People moved from cart to cart, placing food into woven baskets, which dangled from their arms, and chatted with each other as they “shopped.” Few remained to attend the carts, Sergey noticed. ‘They must be engaged in collecting fruit and vegetables from other carts,’ he thought.

“I noticed that no one is buying the food,” Sergey said, glancing left and right. “So, does this city of refuge have no money or system of bartering?”
