Choice is screaming

First lets make sure you don’t yell ‘fire’ in a crowded theater, ‘hijack’ on an airplane or ‘spam alert’ on a crowded internet forum. Lets be frank, we are living in strange days where words are like people and they have power to bring life or trouble to those who utter them.

I started Sanctuary because I believe God sowed me. Sow is a way of planting something and in this case I believe Earth House and Sanctuary were meant to be a planting into the Internet so that from it would grow an idea. I have spent years being sowed and helping to plant the idea that there was coming a change so huge that the world as we know it would never be the same.

Lets be frank. I know there is a war of ideologies that is taking place. Some of it is over the quest for land. Some is over the quest for people. Some is over the quest to expand ideologies. The people of Islam for example believe they are in the last days and their ‘faith’ requires them to start a jihad and if you know what that means it is war. But they don’t want a war with their neighbor, they want to go to war with you. And they want to kill you. After all isn’t that what Jihad means? War with the infidel? And I am one of those infidels according to Islam but I am a born against Christian according to the Bible.

So is this the big warning I wanted to give you? No its not, its just a choice that is warring at your soul and attention. You want to know why is choice screaming. Why is it that we are at war now in the spiritual and most of you don’t care. After all if it doesn’t affect your pocketbook, your friends or family then you don’t care. Again that is something you can believe but its not the true answer of choice.

Choice is like a friend who knocks on your door in the middle of the night. You have to get up early in the morning to head off to work and the last thing you want is a friend at the door. After all if they were a friend they wouldn’t bother you. You’d just tell them to go away. And so they do without you knowing their reason ‘why’ so you end up staying awake the rest of the night wishing you knew what you had turned away.

And so it is with this letter to you. It is a choice that is screaming. And that scream is so loud that it shouts from time and it shouts from eternity. There is a war and it is a battle and it is being fought right now between the forces of evil and those who have chosen the path to righteousness. And this war is being fought in a way that is beyond your comprehension over a planet you take for granted. Earth.

Now most of us don’t understand the significance of earth. Its our planet but its more then that. It is the source of knowledge and from this planet there is a history that goes back into the depths of time. It is a planet with a history and it carries the curse of sin and the hope of redemption. Now Earth is the battlefield and the battle is being fought over you. That’s right you.

Now you will say you’ve heard this before and perhaps you have in a general way. Some other “Christian” guy yelled once about a war or something coming or a war with Satan and so you went your way thinking “Yawn.” But listen, this isn’t another come on for money or anything you can give except your attention.

Think for a moment of who God is. I know I just did and I was amazed at the thought. Here is God who created all things past, present, future. And He created a Universe so big that if you were to spend 1,000 years you could not find its edges even if you could visit one new galaxy every second of your life. That’s how big it is. It doesn’t end but keeps expanding.

Now listen. God wants you to know this. There is a war taking place over you and your soul. Satan wants your heart and you want happiness. But you won’t get out of this battle without being scarred in some fashion. Either by pain and suffering or hope and joy. There are choices coming your way and Times will be changing. Everything you know in life is coming to an end. Not a little end but an abrupt end. And that abrupt end means that your own world is going to be turned upside down. Your job, your way of life, your hopes and your dreams are going to be vanquished. And you will be brought to a place of utter confusion. And that war will leave you breathless, confused and scared.

Now you are wondering if I’m crazy. Why am I talking like this? Because I’m part of this war. And I know a little about what’s going on. And when I say this battle is happening you’d better believe it. But the battle isn’t one you can easily see if you are searching just with human eyes. You see human conflict but I am seeing what is happening in the spiritual. Not in the spiritual realm thankfully but only in the spiritual.

Think of it this way. There is a God who has been fighting for the people of earth since the beginning of time. And there is a God who sees the pain and suffering of earth and has done everything He can to help end it. But there are some characters that are so evil they make Hitler a helpless moron. And Hitler and other evil men served them and their purposes and they never knew it till they woke up in hell.

Now here is what will happen so listen carefully. This war in the spiritual has to break out into the natural. But it isn’t going to be a little war and a little outbreak. It will come up, out of the abyss. That abyss is, I believe, time which means that there will be a cross continuum exchange. Study scripture and you’ll read about the creatures that come out of the abyss. Why? The answer is the war that is now taking place in the spiritual. They are creatures of time and as such they go to the abyss or the grave or hell. When God breaks out ‘the way’ the creatures of the abyss, we can call them spawn, will be released.

Now this sounds like Sci-fi and some of you are laughing and I don’t blame you. I’m a huge Sci-fi fan and this story seems to big and too futuristic to be believed. Just remember this, that when bizarre things happen and you see those things with your own eyes remember that I warned you. And when you start yelling and or screaming “It can’t be” remember that choice is screaming. In this case for help.

Now Sanctuary is all about helping and that’s why we are here. Some of you will think this article goes too far. Its not meant for frightened eyes. Lets just say I don’t laugh and I don’t joke about things that I know. This war of the spiritual is being won and that means for it to be finished it has to and I mean has to break out into the natural.

So when you think that you’ve come to a dead end in your walk say a little prayer. Because God is coming back with 10,000 of His saints. He is coming back to set up His kingdom on earth and unless you are prepared you’ll only have one answer “A mouth hanging open in gasping amazement.”

So until that happens prepare yourself spiritually. Your hope is through Jesus Christ becoming your Lord and Savior. Remember that because the Lords enemies are going to be destroyed. I for one do not plan to be on the wrong side. So make a choice and if necessary do a little screaming. Help is on the way.
