Dear brothers and sisters,

Evil times are upon us, times of turmoil and much suffering. I had originally named this Word, PERSECUTION IS COMING. But just as I started to look it over, the Holy Spirit said, “PREPARE FOR PERSECUTION“.

This topic is not new to me and should not be new to you either. This message will outline the particular things that Yah mentioned or highlighted for me to share with you today. For more details concerning the upcoming persecution, in addition to this message, you may want to review, MARTYRDOM – PART 2.

On Sept.21/2024, the Holy Spirit engaged me into the topic of persecution. He started off with this verse:

1 Pet.2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps.

Then, as I began to pray, the Holy Spirit started saying that PERSECUTION IS COMING.

Next, He said that many of us have had the opportunity to testify to our families, friends, colleagues, and neighbours concerning our testimonies; how Yah has forever changed our lives by removing from us the doctrines of men and bringing us into a much closer fellowship with Him. We may have previously explained to them that there is a need for each individual to lead a holy life in constant and wholehearted repentance. That it is vital that we practice humility when seeking Yah so that He may guide us and teach us how to properly honour Him through obedience to His commands. Yah said that for a time these members may have heard what was spoken to them and kept much of their opinions to themselves, for the sake of peace. They have been convinced that we are wrong and have patiently waited for us to come around and admit it. Since time has passed and we have not changed our stances, they will no longer keep their opinions to themselves. Before we know it, they will recollect their questions and come to us with strong arguments. They will speak up and confront us. They will come ready for heated conversations, debates and confrontations.

Then the Holy Spirit asked me, “AT THAT POINT, WILL YOU KEEP QUIET LIKE A SHEEP LED TO THE SLAUGHTER OR WILL YOU SPEAK UP WITH AUTHORITY?”
I took a moment to collect my thoughts and came to the conclusion that our Messiah did both. So I told Father, “I don’t know, Father. How would you have us respond?”
He said, “THIS IS NOT THE TIME OF YOUR SLAUGHTER. THEREFORE, YES, SPEAK WITH AUTHORITY; SPEAK WITH ALL KINDS OF WISDOM MY SPIRIT HAS IMPARTED ON YOU”.

I continued in prayer when the Holy Spirit said, “THE HEAT IS ABOUT TO BE TURNED UP“. I waited for Him to explain what He meant. He gave me understanding that the reason for this type of attacks is to further remove from us any impurity, doubt, and hindrance that may be left in us. In doing so, He intends to completely burn these things in us through His last fiery trials. That is how we grab a hold of our anointing, the mantle that Yah has laid upon us.

When attacked or questioned, if you feel any uneasiness, commit to even a simple prayer such as, “Father, anoint my lips so that your Spirit can have free rein to speak through me”.

I went on to pray for boldness so we wouldn’t be intimidated by those questioning us. I remembered when the apostles did so as well in, Act.4:29-31 saying, “And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.”

Notice how this was not the same event where the Holy Spirit first came upon them. That was in Acts 2. This was a subsequent time. This boldness is not for us to become contentious, or scornful, or because we want to win an argument but simply because the time has come for Yah’s Truth to be told one last time.
I felt this great responsibility coming over me. The weight of our words that will either bring our contenders to surrender to Yah or release them into His judgments -should Yah so choose to have mercy on them. I felt this dreading doom as if, for some, this may very well be their final warning.

Then, my prayer was directed on asking Father to pour of His Spirit upon us. I know that many of us have been in the Upper Room praying unceasingly for this gift. I acknowledged our great need of our Father to fill us, to guide us, to move in us. This is our cry, Abba, we need you! Embolden us, strengthen us for the journey ahead. Make us fearless like lions, roaring like Yahshua, the lion from the tribe of Judah. May our roar echo across the earth.

Brothers and sisters,

Brace yourselves! This is the time of the great separation -the wheat from the tares as you may already have started to experience. There is a regathering happening ahead of us. Who’s going to come along with us? Are our families and friends ready to commit their lives, living in faith and obedience to the Most High Yah? For our Father wants to bring unity amongst us as He prepares us to enter the New Jerusalem. Do not expect Yah will be ok for us to celebrate both holy days and pagan feasts. Or that it will be optional to follow Yah’s Law. At this stage, His expectations of these things should already be crystal clear.

On Sept.28/2024, the conversation pertaining the persecution picked up. I have to ask you, “Are you prepared for the upcoming persecution?” If we want to see souls come to salvation, then we need to prepare to face persecution. For when the persecution hits, it’ll force many to scatter and tell others about Yahshua. Because for as long as things are relatively comfortable, we may not really feel that push to venture out and publicize the Gospel. The persecution will mobilize us in order that we may reach many who would otherwise not have heard about Yah’s plan of salvation. Here, I’m referring to reaching across our cities and beyond. When things happen that force you out of your home, don’t be stressed about leaving your comfort zone. I need to tell you that Yah will strategically move His people into several safe places while His Word is being divulged. For this is the time His Gospel will be taken to the ends of the earth.

If you read Act.8:1, it says, “On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.”
Please take note that not ALL of us will mobilize at the same time. Some of us have been training and preparing to receive multitudes of the displaced. These locations have been chosen by Yah and are referred to as the LampStands, Goshens, or Safe Havens. For more details on this, please check out a previous Word entitled, DO NOT BE AFRAID: THE TIME OF TRANSITION IS UPON US.

The persecution will further test man’s spiritual foundation to ascertain that our spiritual homes are not built on sinking sand.

Please try to track with me in understanding this from a spiritual standpoint. Yah’s final temples will be built during perilous times as per Dan.9:25 just as it was for Ezra and Nehemiah when Tobiah and Sanballat rallied up against them to intimidate them and impede them from the rebuilding of Yah’s physical temple. We must arm ourselves against these coming attacks. We cannot allow our hands and feet to become feeble. May Father strengthen us in preparation of what must be for we understand that we cannot pray this away. May His will be done in all of us. Father, prepare us for the storms that will rage uncontrollably against us. Raise a standard against the enemy, granting us success in all our endevours, and bless all that our hands set themselves to do.

On Oct.11/2024, while I celebrated Yom Kippur, I told you in the Word entitled, PREPARE, that the Holy Spirit showed up in an amazing way. I will now share some other things He said that night. And I pray they will encourage you. Father told me that those around me can very well see His Light in me shining brightly. And that is why, oftentimes they don’t persist on asking me the same questions in the hope of changing my mind. They know exactly where I stand, on Yah’s Word, and that I cannot be swayed. He said that sometimes they may try to persuade me by throwing at me their own opinions, beliefs or theories about Yah’s Word. The truth is that they don’t want to accept what’s said to them, even if they may perceive it as the truth. And therefore, they try to dispute it or make excuses as to why they are not following Yah on the Narrow Path. They realize that if they choose to come on board they will have to accept that they have been deceived and then submit to the painful purging process. But they don’t want to surrender, nor change. They are not ready to turn their backs on the world and all the pleasures it offers them.
I told Father about my wrestling against the spirit of disobedience with one of my children. The Holy Spirit said that He has a purpose for that as He’s teaching me how to keep my cool, how to respond and that things are not going to be easy. There is going to be A LOT of contentions, confrontations. Part of my training has been through this younger person in order for me to get acquainted on how to respond without feeling intimidated. He said that the questions that will be coming at us from other individuals will be the same. He also said that that is how He is suffering when dealing with so many of His disobedient children.

You know you are carrying Father’s heart when you are made to partake in His sufferings, sharing that intimate moment together.

Then I expressed another issue that has been causing me such deep heartache. Yah said that none of my tears are wasted; that they are fulfilling their purpose in their jars of clay and that the prayers of the saints are so precious to Him. There’s beauty in the suffering – the dying to ourselves brings us closer to Yah. He said, “SATAN HAS INTOXICATED MANKIND BY OFFERING IT ALL THE PLEASURES OF THE WORLD. THESE HAVE SOLD THEIR BIRTHRIGHT FOR A SMALL BOWL OF LENTILS. THEY’VE ACCEPTED THE PLEASURES OF THE WORLD OVER MY ETERNAL KINGDOM.”

And then, the last thing He said, as I’ve already shared previously was, “PREPARE! FOR WHAT IS COMING ON THIS WORLD IS TRULY HORRIFIC”.

On Oct.12/2024, I was meditating on the sufferings of Christ and how we are partakers with Him. We also suffer scorn, humiliation, misunderstandings, rejection, mocking, loneliness, betrayal and many other things. Part of the reason for this is so that we can comfort others in their affliction.

In 2 Cor.1:8b)-9 Paul says, “we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead.”

And that is what we are to expect. To those who are perishing we are the stench of death (2 Cor.2:16) because the Gospel is veiled to them (2 Cor.4:3).

For even though we may be hard pressed, we will not crushed; though perplexed we will not despair; though persecuted, we will not be abandoned; though struck down, we will not be destroyed.

Lastly, on Nov.1/2024, I was led to read through some of the book of Acts where Yah was highlighting to me how He sent His desciples and apostles out to various synagogues to preach and teach people concerning His Laws and Messiah. There were always people who believed and a percentage that didn’t but persecuted them. Every time things got rough, where Yah’s disciples risked death, they would shake the dust off their feet and go on to the next city.

With that, I felt that Yah is giving us the heads-up that we will very well return to the so-called churches to try to persuade people to Yah’s Truth. For instance, concerning who True Israel is, or about our regathering; or that pre-tribulation rapture is a false doctrine and how we’ll need to endure. Or how we still need to follow Yah’s Laws and that we must break away from the Babylonian system. Yah’s Spirit is going to attract to us those who belong to Him. The rest, who will refuse to believe, will become a threat that will force us to keep moving to the next city. Thus, fulfilling Yah’s Word of preaching His Gospel to all creation and then the End will come.

Lastly, I will conclude with:

Psa.55:1-6, 12-14, 22 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. 2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; 3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me. 4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. 5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. 6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. 12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: 13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. 14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. 22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
