~Blossom, Let me start by saying God will never leave or forsake you. That is a guaranty and it also says in his word that his word will not return to him void but will do all that he sent it to do. I think that sometimes we go through dry spells with the Lord where we don't hear him. I think these are times when he tries us and test us. Is he punishing us? No! He is molding us to be stronger in him. When I am in a dry spell I stay very close to his word. The dreams will come and will be remembered. I ask the Lord to help me keep the dream so I can write it down....he has always helped me there. I hope this is helpful to you. Stay encouraged. He loves you so much. You can't even imagine how much. Love in Jesus, Connie~

~I'm praying for you too! Love in Jesus, Connie~

~Goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. Wow.......that certainly happened. I am so happy for you Christa. Love in Jesus, Connie~

~I will also agree with you. Love in Jesus, Connie

amen to that.

~Hinds Feet, No problem any time! Love in Jesus, Connie~

~Hinds Feet, Glad I could be of help. I Love it when He does that. :) Take care and God bless! Love in Jesus, Connie~

~Hinds Feet Well, I can certainly understand wanting to be a martyr verses going through all that stuff after the rapture. My deal here is how can they not believe in Jesus at this point? Try to imagine what they will have to go through. This is not going to pleasant. They will have falling hail and meteors and earthquakes and it will be like nothing we have experienced, there will be much mayhem and confusion. How these people will not be able to say that they don't need Jesus is beyond me, but there will be those who will not believe. The bible makes it clear. The part here that is so compelling is they will be deceived by satan (antichrist) into believing they are saved or by giving into the mark of the beast will be saved as he will be professing to be the one and true Messiah. Sad but true. There are many parts of the Revelations that I am still studying. It is good to study. So I do not have the answers you seek per say but love the discussion. Here is what I have on Gog and Magog. Hope it helps. :) Question: "What are Gog and Magog?" Answer: Historically speaking, Magog was a grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:2). The descendants of Magog settled to the far north of Israel, likely in Europe and northern Asia (Ezekiel 38:2). Magog seems to be used to refer to "northern barbarians" in general, but likely also has a connection to Magog the person. The people of Magog are described as skilled warriors (Ezekiel 38:15; 39:3-9). Gog and Magog are referred to in Ezekiel 38-39 and in Revelation 20:7-8. While these two instances carry the same names, a close study of Scripture clearly demonstrates they do not refer to the same people and events. In Ezekiel’s prophecy, Gog will be the leader of a great army that attacks the land of Israel. Gog is described as “of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal” (Ezekiel 38:2-3). Ezekiel's battle of Gog and Magog occurs in the tribulation period, more specifically in the first 3 1/2 years. The strongest evidence for this view is that the attack will come when Israel is at peace (Ezekiel 38:8, 11). The description from Ezekiel is that of a nation that has security and has laid down its defenses. Israel is definitely not at peace now, and it is inconceivable that the nation would lay down its defenses apart from some major event. When Israel's covenant with the Beast/Antichrist is in effect at the beginning of Daniel's 70th Week (also known as the 7-year tribulation, Daniel 9:27a), Israel will be at peace. Possibly the battle will occur just before the midpoint of the seven-year period. According to Ezekiel, Gog will be defeated by God Himself on the mountains of Israel. The slaughter will be so great it will take seven months to bury all of the dead (Ezekiel 39:11-12). Gog and Magog are mentioned again in Revelation is found in 20:7-8. The duplicated use of the names Gog and Magog in Revelation 20:8-9 is to show that these people demonstrate the same rebellion against God and antagonism toward God as those in Ezekiel 38-39. It is similar to someone today calling a person "the devil" because he or she is sinful and evil. We know that person is not really Satan, but because that person shares similar characteristics, he or she might be referred to as "the devil." The book of Revelation uses Ezekiel's prophecy about Magog to portray a final end-times attack on the nation of Israel (Revelation 20:8-9). The result of this battle is that all are destroyed, and Satan will find his final place in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10). It is important to recognize that the Gog and Magog of Ezekiel 38-39 is quite different from the one in Revelation 20:7-8. Below are some of the more obvious reasons why these refer to different people and battles. 1. In the battle of Ezekiel 38-39, the armies come primarily from the north and involve only a few nations of the earth (Ezekiel 38:6, 15; 39:2). The battle in Revelation 20:7-9 will involve all nations, so armies will come from all directions, not just from the north. 2. There is no mention of Satan in the context of Ezekiel 38-39. In Revelation 20:7 the context clearly places the battle at the end of the millennium with Satan as the primary character. 3. Ezekiel 39:11-12 states that the dead will be buried for seven months. There would be no need to bury the dead if the battle in Ezekiel 38-39 is the one described in Revelation 20:8-9, for immediately following Revelation 20:8-9 is the Great White Throne judgment (20:11-15) and then the current or present heaven and earth are destroyed, replaced by a new heaven and earth (Revelation 21:1). There obviously will be a need to bury the dead if the battle takes place in the early part of the tribulation, for the land of Israel will be occupied for another 1,000 years, the length of the millennial kingdom (Revelation 20:4-6). 4. The battle in Ezekiel 38-39 is used by God to bring Israel back to Him (Ezekiel 39:21-29). In Revelation 20, Israel has been faithful to God for 1,000 years (the millennial kingdom). Those in Revelation 20:7-10 who are rebellious are destroyed without any more opportunity for repentance. Love in Jesus, Connie~

~Hi, You are correct Hinds Feet. People will continue to be saved after the rapture. Each step is a warning to those who are not saved. The rapture and the things that follow. Once a person takes the mark of the beast they are not able then to be saved. They have sealed their eternal fate if you will. But before that they have every possibility of giving their life to Christ. That is why there will be no excuses. People will have a choice. Even unto death becoming martyrs for Christ. Hope this helps. Love in Jesus, ' Connie~

praying with you girl.

~Hey christa, I have to agree again with sister Cholette here. Take all those concerns and give them to Jesus. I have to do it too. Just did it last night. Sometimes there are things we just can't fix.....we have to turn it over to him and then know that we know that he is handling it for us. I will keep you in prayer. Love in Jesus, Connie~

Amen to that Cholette. I agree!

~Butterfly I must apologize I had not seen this before.....I am praying also.

~Steady, Ya know there are times I get so mad at the devil for being a lying thief and such a pain in my backside. So what I am about to say I say in Love because you are my sister. I just want to remind you that HE IS DEFEATED! Stand on it girl, stand on it! Every obstacle, every problem we face, every pain, every illness, every tragedy, every feeling, every spiritual battle was won on the cross at calvary!!!!! WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS WHO STRENGTHENS US! Do not accept what people say you are.....do not accept bad reports from the Doctors. They may tell you what they think is wrong with you but ultimately it is their opinion based on a calculated and educated guess. Sometimes they are wrong and sometimes they are right. Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our lives. Stand on the Word like Cholette said! Don't let the enemy get you down....he is UNDER your feet. Get up and put on the whole armor of God! Put on the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the sword of the spirit, the helmet of salvation and the belt of truth! Tell the devil he is a liar and a thief and you are not gonna take it anymore. Forgive everyone who may have offended you....remember it is a decision to forgive and not a feeling. Tell Satan you break off that spirit of infirmity right now in Jesus name and command it to leave and return to the feet of Jesus. Plead the blood of Jesus over every single tissue, muscle, atom, and melecular level of your body in Jesus name. Plead the blood of Jesus over you, your family, your friends, your home, your property, your finances and even over your pets. Anoint yourself with oil and pray the prayer of faith. You can do it, I know you can! You are my sister in Christ and I know I am saying what you already know...I am sent to remind you who you are in HIM. You are healed by his stripes; and bought with a price; get up and walk! Love in Jesus, Connie~

~I am so glad you all like the post. When I was in Ministry training getting my degree I remember that my praise and worship leader gave me that list and called it the "I Am's". When I speak over me the list I always say "I am a child of the Most High" etc. I am glad you are all encouraged by it. I pray you are all blessed by it. It is an honor to have sisters and brothers like you. Love in Jesus, Connie~

~Traveller, I am glad that you are encouraged. :) I believe that the words we speak here are intended for more than one at times. That is why we encourage people to post. More than one person is being blessed at a time.....isn't God good. Everywhere at once. Love in Jesus Connie~

Ditto that NewWine. Good to have you back by the way:)

I watched my life totally transform in a year. You are an awesome daughter of the Most High! God bless you and keep you, may the Lords face shine upon you with joy because of you, may he be gracious unto and bring you his peace. Numbers 6:24-26~ Love in Jesus, Connie

SteadyGaze, Let us pray: ~Father God we stand on your word today! We know that we are healed in your name because you died that we may live!

~Well praise the Lord! I am so happy for you. That is just totally how God does. He just takes it by storm. Yeah God!!!!!! ~

Noah777, ~You know, I have to say that when I have a dream I usually do know the interpretation. The Lord usually confirms that for me in the written word or through prayer time. There have been times though when I like you needed a timely word to help me discern and understand the dream. I have had many times on the site where there has been little or no response and there I am left hanging, so to speak. But I will tell you this....each time that happens I take it before the Lord and tell him I do not understand. I ask him to show me in his word what he is trying to tell me and he always shows me that way. I say this because the Lord has proved his faithfulness to me many times. He wants me to understand what he is showing me. His words do not return to him void and will accomplish all they were set out to do. Nothing is spoken whether in dream or not that does not have meaning or purpose. We may not understand at the time but it will be revealed to us. Sometimes the meaning comes after the dream for me. I don't understand why it happens that way but it does sometimes. I pray this is of help to you. God bless!~ Love in Jesus, Connie

Thanks so much~!

Praise God. Thanks for sharing with us JBS. Awesome testimony!
