Three times the Lord has either shown me visions or spoken to me through the Holy Spirit concerning specific persons with whom I have shared His Truth (Word–Jn. 17:17).  Three times He did exactly what He said He would do when people rejected what I told them.  In each case the subject believed him/herself to be a Christian, serving God, one with Him, rapture ready, etc., just like 2 billion plus people today.  In each case the people died shortly after hearing His message, unexpectedly and for no medical reason.  I have received other visions and words from Him concerning people situations.  In each case what He showed me or said to me came to pass shortly afterward.  Over the past several days I have been receiving another vision from Him.  A little background information is needed in order to understand the importance of this vision.

I have a friend who, having been ordained a lay preacher by her religious organization, fancies herself God’s gift to mankind.  This “minister” calls herself, quote: “This old sinner saved by grace.”  You get the picture.  Of late she has fallen outside her house twice, once doing severe damage to her face.  She past 90, has two artificial knees and can barely get around.  Each time she has fallen someone heard her cry out and came to the rescue.  Each time she points out that God had someone standing by to help her.  However, she does not know that it was Him Who knocked her down and busted her face.  I haven’t explained that to her because she, who knows all things spiritual but is totally ignorant of God’s Word, would not believe His Truth if I told her.  She summarily rejects what I preach because my gospel does not allow her to sin and get away with it.  As God repeatedly makes clear in His Word, He sends trouble to sinners, especially those who claim to be His people, to get their attention and cause them to wonder why they are being afflicted.  He hopes they will consult His Holy Scriptures and learn why they are in the condition they are in, and why problems keep coming JUST LIKE THE GOD-REJECTERS NEXT DOOR.  This high-powered minister refuses to believe Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28, James 2 and 1 John 3:3 because they prove that what I preach is God’s Truth and that what she preaches is Satan’s perverted gospel (Gal. 1:6-9).  As I stated, the lady in question not only believes the Satanic doctrines and practices of her church, she repeats them to anyone who will listen.  With that background laid, I will share the vision I have been seeing and am seeing now as I write this message.  As I have noted in past postings, I have received other visions and messages that later proved to be from the Lord.  I have no doubt that this one is also from Him and will come to pass.  Satan has her exactly where he wants her.  The Holy Spirit will have a hard time turning her from him.  Frankly, I doubt that she can humble herself to that point.

In the latest message from God concerning the lady in question He has shown me that she will trip going out her back door, fall on the steps, break some ribs and an arm and be knocked unconscious.  When she regains consciousness she will be unable to move and her voice will be so weak that her neighbors will not be able to hear her.  After several hours I will arrive and will find her lying in her own blood and in terrible pain.  Later I will share with her what I am telling you–that God has been “speaking” to her through her “accidents” and how He expects her to respond to them.  God has not told me how His teaching session will turn out.

The problem with this lady and others that I have written about is pride, which comes before destruction (Prov. 16:18).  I have lost three friends of late who should not have died.  All three of them had the same prevailing characteristic–pride.  Pride is idolatry, for it places oneself above God.  Man, no matter how great he is, has no reason to be proud.  Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzer learned this lesson the hard way.  After admitting that God had given him his kingdom and his power, he allowed Satan to enter his heart and to convince him that he, the king, had brought about all of his success.  Immediately the Lord struck him with insanity and drove him into the the fields where he ate grass along with the cattle for seven years (Dan. 4).  In that case the king survived the Lord’s curse, humbled himself and regained his kingship.  The king had learned his lesson.  However, this lady is the most proud person I have ever known.  I am not sure she can humble herself, confess her idolatry, receive forgiveness–and live.

I will end this posting with a few of God’s messages to all proud church people everywhere who know they are right with Him, but nevertheless are afflicted by the same diseases, etc. and suffer exactly like they do–IN SPITE OF GOD’S PROMISES TO THE CONTRARY.  “If I shut up heaven so that there is no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence (disease) among My people ….  IF My people, who are called by My name, will HUMBLE THEMSELVES and pray, and seek My face, and TURN from their wicked ways, THEN  (and only then) I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land, NOW (then) My eyes will be open (to their plight), and My ears will hear their prayers ….” (2 Chron. 7:13-15).

For those who have nailed the Old Testament to the cross, remember that “The (New Testament) church was founded upon the (teachings of) the PROPHETS and the apostles” (Eph. 2:20), and that what happened to ancient Israel was recorded and preserved “for our instruction.”  And who was the “our” Paul was referring to?–those “upon whom the ends of the world have come” (1 Cor. 10:11).  The entire Bible (the Law) is God’s handbook for His people today.  We must study it, learn it, love it, believe it and obey it in order to receive eternal life upon the return of Jesus Christ.  Contrary to church doctrine, there is no other way.  L.J.
