~A New Time Has Arisen~
{A special word from the Lord, given to me today}

A new time has arisen,
& a new era has been entered into.

These are NO LONGER
merely the days of compromise.
These are NO LONGER
the days of simply being mute.
These are NO LONGER
the days of merely being at ease,
and remaining settled on your lees.

I challenge you!
I call you forth!
I, the God who sits in the heavens!
I, the God who sends the Refiner’s Fire!

Open your mouth, & speak!
Hold NOT, back!
Do NOT fear their faces!
For I, the Lord God Jehova,
am SURELY with you!

The battle is NOT yours, but mine!
I am He who arises,
& so, My enemies are scattered!
I drive out the enemy!
I quench the rebellion!

Look at what I did to Lucifer!
Do you think I will do less to
those who rise themselves up as gods?
I am the ONLY God!
I Am that I Am!

Learn of Me,
that you now live in a new era.
Learn of Me,
that your hearts must be totally sold out to me.
Learn of Me,
and I will give you rest.
Rest, from a weary & dry land.
Learn of Me,
& I, the Lord God of all that is,
will give strength to those
places where you have been weak.
Learn of Me,
and I will approach you.
Learn of Me,
and I will draw nigh.

Prepare yourselves,
for the final battle of all times.
For all that was,
for all that is,
and all that is to come;
shall now soon culminate in
this last battle of the final end times.

I will impart to you,
greatness & strength.
Strength, that is NOT your own.
Greatness, that is NOT of your own making.

For it is I who designed you.
It is I who made you.
It is I who created you.
And not you, yourselves,
who created & designed your own lives.

Give Me Praise.
Give Me Glory.
Give Me Honor.
And I, myself, will raise you up.

Your life is mine, & not yours.
For I am your Creator.
And I am your God.
Show respect unto Me,
& I will show respect unto you.

My will, plans, & purposes
are being released upon My own creation.
I am the One who makes the ultimate decisions.
It is you who make the smaller decisions.
For I have truly given unto you,
the power to decide, & the power to choose.

So, choose ye, THIS DAY,
whom you will serve!
Will you serve Baal?
Or will you serve Me?

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision:
for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will
serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of

house, we will serve the LORD.

Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear
unto my speech.

appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:

command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.

And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am
with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.

thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of
the hand of the terrible.

Jeremiah 20:7b
I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
Jeremiah 20:8
For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the
LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
Jeremiah 20:9
Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But
his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was
weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

Acts 26:16
But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to
make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and
of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
Acts 26:17
Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send
thee,

Revelation Word_“Blessed”_Bible Study

Revelation Word_“Blessed”_Bible Study

Revelation 1:3
Blessed is he that readeth,
and they that hear the words of this prophecy,
and keep those things which are written therein:
for the time is at hand.

Revelation 14:13
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth:
Yea, saith the Spirit,
that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Revelation 19:9
And he saith unto me,
Write, Blessed are they which are called unto
the marriage supper of the Lamb.
And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

Revelation 20:6
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection:
on such the second death hath no power,
but they shall be priests of God and of Christ,
and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Revelation 22:7
Behold, I come quickly:
blessed is he that keepeth
the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments,
that they may have right to the tree of life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city.

For years, I have noticed that extremely early on, in
the very 3rd verse of
The Book Of Revelation
it states that we are:
“blessed” if we read, hear, & keep the
those things which are written therein.
I have noticed too,
that this same emphasis is repeated in Revelation 22:7,
in the very last chapter!

It looks like Our Lord was trying to show us something
which is very important here!

Who Wants To Be Blessed?!
I Sure Do!!

I remember, on many occasions,
I would be pondering these statements in
The Book Of Revelation,
& I would pull out my Bible,
& begin to read Scriptures in that Book,
in particular!

Why?

I was simply thinking that it would be a
Great thing to be “Blessed” that day!
And what a very simple way to do so!
Just…READ!!!

Of course, we can read it out loud too, if we desire;
Then we are “Blessed” in TWO ways!!

I have pondered the meaning of keeping
“those things which are written therein”,
& keeping
“the sayings of the prophecy of this book”.

I was just thinking, how does one usually “keep” sayings?
Normally, a person reads them, or hears them.
Then they think upon them, & sometimes, they write them down,
& also, they repeat them to others, either verbally, or in writing.

So, these would be some ways to “keep” them!

Of course, one needs to know the content of
exactly what those “sayings” are,
in order to “keep” them!
Ergo, the necessity of reading & hearing The Book Of Revelation!

I am reminded here, of this Scripture:
John 8:32
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

One other thing that piques my attention is this:
Revelation 22:14!

As a young teenager, around the age of 13,
I was led by the Lord {I believe}
To open the Bible at home
{neither our church, nor my family seemed to encourage this}.
And it seemed as though I was compelled to turn to:

Revelation 22: 14-15
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments,
that they may have right to the tree of life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers,
and murderers, and idolaters,
and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

I became very convicted at this,
as I knew I had lied to my Mamma, at times.
I tried VERY HARD, from that point on,
to NOT lie anymore, or do any wrong.

I KNEW from reading this Scripture, that I had done wrong {sinned},
& that I was in danger of missing Heaven, & entering hell instead, if I died.
I tried, with a MAJOR PURPOSE
{concerning where I would spend eternity},
TO BE GOOD!!

Of course, my efforts were thwarted, as NO ONE is “perfect”!

Romans 3:10
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

So, I was a quite nervous person, in that I DID NOT KNOW…
Where I would spend eternity!!

About 4 years later in my life,
After “spinning my wheels”, in trying to “earn” salvation,
The Lord was gracious enough to send me
A woman who was a missionary/nurse, to share the
Good News of the Gospel, with me!!
Praise God!

Proverbs 25:25
As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
Romans 10:15
And how shall they preach, except they be sent?
as it is written,
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace,
and bring glad tidings of good things!

By the way, I received the
Good News of the Gospel
IMMEDIATELY!
I was VERY spiritually “hungry”!!

So, in concluding my comments here,
I would say that,
By reading
The Book of Revelation,
When I was yet, so young,
& by heeding it’s sayings,
I was VERY BLESSED!!!!!!
I WAS SAVED!!!
And became a Christian Believer after that!

And not just in “name only”,
nor in my mind only,
But in my heart!
It was REAL now!!!
Praise Jesus Christ!!

Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:10
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

I Pray that you will
“Be Blessed”
In reading this
Bible Scripture Study,
My friends!!

~PARABLE OF A GREAT & HIDDEN MASTERPIECE~

swansongsinging — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 03:18:56 +0000

~PARABLE OF A GREAT & HIDDEN MASTERPIECE~
©2006~Writings by Amber~
{~Swan Song~}

In the Days of Strife & Hiddeness & Shadows & Great Danger…

Great Artistic Masterpieces

were Hidden & even sometimes Transported or Smuggled,
in a very Unique way.

What was done, was this.

ANOTHER PAINTING, of a much lesser Quality & Value
was painted OVER

THE MASTERPIECE!

VOILA! A perfect way to hide THE MASTERPIECE!!!

Sometimes…these paintings would become lost.

**********************************************

Then…many years later, someone would come across one of these Masterpieces.

They would “have a feeeling” about the lesser quality painting.

Or they would discover an area on the painting where some of the lesser painting’s artwork…had faded, or had been chipped off.

And a tiny little bit of the Masterpiece…would start showing through!

They would then study & study this painting…
growing more & more curious…all the while.

Then they would begin to ask questions of the experts.
Or would buy books on the subject of
Painting & Art Restoration.

Then, they would Very Carefully & Tediously begin this Restoration Process…
on this “hidden”, yet now suspected…
Masterpiece.

As they very, very carefully began the process…

they would ever so slowly & gently…

begin to remove the newer, yet lesser qualtity painting

which was super-imposed over…

THE GREAT MASTERPIECE OF ARTWORK!

**********************************************

Little by Little…the Great Masterpiece…became EXPOSED!

Until at last…the Entire & Very Great Masterpiece…
which was hidden…for so long…
was at long last…Exposed in it’s ENTIRETY!!!

And A Great Work Of Art…was finally REVEALED!!

A Great Work of Art, which was thought for so long…
to have been completely lost!!

And, in so many cases…it had even been COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN!!!

**********************************************

The Great Masterpiece Of Art had been submerged & forgotten…disappeared into the far-reaches of history,
& became unknown, as the billowing furls of time folded it into “obscurity”.

**********************************************

Until, someone with
A Keen Perception & A Deep Love for the Beauty Of Art…
finally discovered…

THIS TRULY GREAT & HIDDEN MASTERPIECE!!!

And that same person was able & willing to devote
the Time, Care, & Devotion it took…

to once again…Bring Forth & Reveal…

the waiting “BEAUTY” which had been
Hidden & Undiscovered & even Forgotton…for so long!!!

**********************************************

Then so many who were a part of
the Community of
the Love Of Great Art & Masterpieces’…

Applauded & Raved over…

the Discovery & Restoration of…

This Great & Magnificently Restored
& Priceless Treasure of True Art!!

And it was finally revealed,
so that the whole world could gaze upon it’s
Magnificent & Luxurious Finely-Restored Beauty!

From…ashes…to…BEAUTY!!!

**********************************************

~That is the Parable~

**********************************************

~Related Scriptures~

Isa 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them BEAUTY FOR ASHES, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Luk 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be REVEALED; neither hid, that shall not be known.

Joh 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the HUSBANDMAN.

1Co 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the TIME, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

1Pe 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be REVEALED in THE LAST TIME.

Jam 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the HUSBANDMAN waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

**********************************************

The comparisons which can be drawn from this parable,
are of course…multitudinous!

So you see…what God was trying to show me through this Parable, was this…

God showed me this parable,
to give me a Living & Visionary example of
“who” the Believers truly are…underneath it “all”.

God “sees” them as a “Hidden” Masterpiece!!!

And that is how God desires me to “see” many others…
so I won’t give up during the hard times!!!

**********************************************

Pro 29:18a Where there is no VISION, the people perish:

**********************************************

But I believe this parable stretches to…

a much larger “picture”!

I believe that maybe God is trying to say that…

in some, or even in many cases…

Many people…are this….

**********************************************

“Hidden” Materpieces…yet to be Restored & Revealed!!!

**********************************************

Blessings to you, All,
in the name of
the Lord Jesus Christ!!
