Suffering

Hi everyone. I hope all of you are doing great. First I want to ask that if anyone knows what it means to dream that a huge tablet or concrete slab covered in Hebrew falling on me in a dream might mean. I jumped when it happend both in my dream and in reality and thus woke up so that's all I know about it. I hope some of you out there have more insight than I do into these things and can tell me what it might mean.

Well after the election last week I was in a strange mood. I sat in front of my tv in shock that this really might be the beginning of the end times. I cried out to the Lord that there are so many that don't know what they have done and how will they stand against the coming persecution. I strongly felt God say to me that I need to leave that to Him. He knows what's best for His church. The next day as I was shopping at Target a plack with a piece of a verse on it appeared right in front of me. The entire verse is:

Rom 5:3 More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
Rom 5:4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,
Rom 5:5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Rom 5:6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

I know that suffering must come for Christians. We have been lazy here in America and have grown accustomed to our easy life. Hatred toward us is growing I can feel it in the air. I pray that those whose faith is not as strong and who are not in the Word will return soon. There will be no surviving the coming onslaught without a firm foundation in what the Word says. Many will be deceived in the days to come. I pray for their hearts to be softened and their eyes to be open.

The time has come to test the spirits even more than ever.

1Jo 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1Jo 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
1Jo 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.

Test the spirits everyone. Jesus return is soon!
