My Dear Amy Poston,
This is the one thousand eight hundred twenty forth devotion I sent to you. Why am I telling you this? Because I want you to know that I am committed to be an encourager for you. “…encourage one another DAILY, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.” (Hebrews 3:13)
When I left the Rickman Church, I told your mother that the Lord laid a burden on my heart for you and since that time I have been praying for your salvation, your healing, for God to give you a purpose for His cause. Because of this fact Amy, I really believe the Lord is coming very soon.
On May 14th Israel miraculously became a Nation for the second time in history, no other Nation had ever done that before, this is what the Lord said about that, “Blow a trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the DAY OF THE LORD is coming; And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved. For in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the LORD has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the LORD CALLS. For behold, in those days and at that time, when I RESTORE JERUSALEM, (this will happen at that same time in history) I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of MY PEOPLE and MY HERITAGE ISREAL, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land…” (Joel 2:1, 32, 3:1-2)
Jesus said, “From the fig tree (Israel is the fig tree) learn a lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves (when Israel becomes a nation again), you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you know that HE (Jesus) IS NEAR, at the very gates. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until ALL THESE THINGS take place.” (Matthew 24:32-34) How long is a generation? “The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years…” (Psalms 90:10)
It has been 75 years since Israel became a nation, so we are oh so close to the rapture of the saints of God. Be ready Amy…
