The Gathering

I. A Sweet Savor Before the Throne

A holy fragrance rises before heaven when God’s people humble themselves in prayer, watchfulness, and expectation. Scripture consistently affirms that repentance, obedience, and intercession ascend as a pleasing offering to the Lord.

“Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.” Psalm 141:2, KJV

In this hour, the Lord is drawing together those who will be gathered, rescuing every sheep who can still hear His voice. This is not an age of accident or randomness. Events across the earth are unfolding according to divine purpose, clearing the way for what God has long declared.

Modern global shakings reinforce this reality. Economic instability, mass displacement, rising homelessness, and widening inequality expose the fragility of earthly security. These pressures are not merely political or social. They are spiritual alarms calling hearts to awaken.

“And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken… that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.” Hebrews 12:27, KJV

II. Hardened Hearts and False Shepherds

A sobering truth emerges in this season. Many who claim the name of Christ no longer walk in His ways. Scripture warned of shepherds who would scatter the flock and of sheep who would follow voices that promise comfort, prosperity, or worldly hope instead of repentance and truth.

“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way.” Isaiah 53:6, KJV

Babylon represents a system of spiritual delusion, material excess, and false security. Its promise of more and better on earth blinds many to the eternal kingdom. Jesus warned that divided loyalty leads to ruin.

“No man can serve two masters… Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24, KJV

Today’s culture glorifies self, comfort, and endless distraction. Technology accelerates this deception, numbing hearts through constant noise. Yet Christ calls clearly for separation.

“Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins.” Revelation 18:4, KJV

III. The Blessed Hope and the Urgency of Now

Peace is given to God’s people, not as denial of reality, but as assurance rooted in promise. This peace is joined with the blessed hope of Christ’s imminent return.

“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” Titus 2:13, KJV

Scripture repeatedly emphasizes immediacy. Delay hardens the heart. Procrastination dulls spiritual sensitivity. The door that stands open today will not remain open indefinitely.

“Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.” Isaiah 55:6, KJV

Modern crises intensify this urgency. Natural disasters, wars, pandemics, and social collapse reveal how quickly life can change. Death often arrives without warning. The question is not whether one believes later will come, but whether later will arrive at all.

“Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” Proverbs 27:1, KJV

IV. The Measure of True Faith

The Lord confronts His people with searching questions. Prayer that remains self focused reveals misplaced priorities. True faith produces compassion for the broken, the poor, the imprisoned, the sick, and the forgotten.

“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction.” James 1:27, KJV

Jesus taught that love for Him is demonstrated through love for others.

“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Matthew 25:40, KJV

Global suffering exposes whether faith is living or merely confessed. When nations shake, sleepers are awakened. The question is not whether shaking is happening, but how deeply one is asleep.

“Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.” 1 Thessalonians 5:6, KJV

V. The Door, the Way, and the King

Christ declares Himself not merely a teacher or example, but the only entrance into eternal life.

“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved.” John 10:9, KJV

Faith placed in self, morality, systems, or alternative paths ends in spiritual death. Salvation rests solely in the crucified and risen Son, now crowned in glory.

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12, KJV

The same Jesus who suffered on the cross now reigns as King. His call is relational, not ritual. He invites hearts to be cleansed, softened, and filled with the Holy Spirit.

“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you.” Ezekiel 36:26, KJV

VI. The Gospel Invitation

Every soul stands in need of salvation.

All have sinned.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23, KJV

Sin brings death.

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 6:23, KJV

Jesus paid the price.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8, KJV

Confess and believe.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 10:9, KJV

Today is not simply another day. Each delay calcifies the heart further. Christ calls for surrender now.

“Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.”
Hebrews 3:15, KJV

Conclusion: Join the Wedding Feast

The invitation stands. The Bridegroom is ready. The wedding is near. Those who respond will enter peace, joy, and eternal communion with God. Those who refuse will face a closed door.

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock.” Revelation 3:20, KJV

Choose today. Come out of Babylon. Lay down false hope. Give Christ your heart. Join the wedding party while there is still time.

Shalom from the Highest.

The Rise of the Remnant: God’s Hidden Army for the Final Hour

I. The Hidden Ones: A Remnant Refined by Fire Throughout every generation, God has preserved a remnant, those who have not bowed to the idols of their time, who walk in righteousness amid corruption, and who carry His presence with purity and power. Elijah lamented that he stood alone for God, but the Lord revealed, “I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal” (1 Kings 19:18, KJV). Today, God’s hidden ones are emerging from seasons of obscurity and crushing. They are the forerunners, raised in secret places where their faith has been tested, refined, and purified. These men and women have endured the fires of betrayal, rejection, and spiritual warfare, yet like gold tried in the furnace, they now reflect the image of the Refiner (Malachi 3:2–3). They were trained in isolation, hidden from public view, so that when they emerge, it will not be by human promotion but by divine appointment. Their confidence is not in their strength but in the...

Forged Through The Fire

I. The Intimacy of the Bridegroom and His Bride The Lord is not seeking mere admiration; He desires intimacy. Those who worship in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24) are known not just for their public declarations, but for private devotion. The Bride's heart is fully His, not content to know about Him but driven to know Him. "Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee." (Song of Solomon 1:4, KJV) Her surrender is not theoretical. It is lived out daily through obedience and the sacrifice of self. In a time when the love of many has waxed cold (Matthew 24:12), she burns brightly. II. The Fragrance of Obedient Worship The Bride's worship is not limited to melody but manifests as obedience. Her crushed will releases fragrant oil, echoing Gethsemane where Christ said,  "Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." (Luke 22:42, KJV...

The Trumpet: A Call to True Repentance

I. The Sound of the Trumpet and the Awakening of the Church Scripture declares a day is coming when the trumpet of the Lord will sound, signaling the return of Jesus Christ. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (KJV) This is a prophetic certainty. Yet, as Jesus warned, many will be unprepared when that moment arrives. “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.” Matthew 25:1 (KJV) In this parable, five virgins were wise, having oil in their lamps, and five were foolish, neglecting their readiness. The oil represents the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit and an intimate relationship with Christ. When the Bridegroom came, only those prepared entered the wedding feast. This prophetic warning speaks directly to today’s Church. Many profess belief b...
