Darkest Before the Dawn

INTRO

The saying it’s “darkest before the dawn” has been on my mind since I became awakened in 2017. When I say “awakened” I mean having an awareness of the current state of the world and its systems. I was already a born-again Christian, but once you understand what’s to eventually come your mindset and goals change. It’s funny looking back, I was so naïve and uninformed, I was lost. I was happier though as ignorance is bliss. Christianity is not an easy path to follow.

“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.”

I didn’t account for the effects of Spiritual Warfare. When I came to know Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit came upon me and I felt my stomach and back heat up I knew it was God. This occurred after praying and repenting, giving the Lord my life. Nothing could un-convince me and it was life changing. There was a honeymoon phase where everything becomes new, and your view of life changes.

Now the enemy has one more warrior against him and I became a larger threat to his agenda.  Imagine all the problems you usually face and the struggles but amplified. Also, because you become a member of the body of Christ, you endure a shared suffering.

1 Corinthians 12:26-27:

²⁶ If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. ²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

So, you see we all suffer together. We carry an extra weight. Along with the world’s hatred against us, the enemy’s attacks on our minds and lives, we have struggles. I don’t like talking about these dynamics because I don’t want to turn people away from becoming a Christian, but there are times when the Lord carries us, and His love flows from within us. Despite all my struggles, the Lord has brought me many new things, adventures, and people. This brings me to talk about the little foxes in our lives.

THE LITTLE FOXES

As Christians and just people in general we tend to focus on the big sins, like murder and adultery but the Lord has been revealing to me lately the little foxes that spoil the vine in my life.

Song of Solomon 2:15:

15 Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards, for our vineyards are in blossom.”

These little foxes are things like judgment, gossip, viewing un-clean content like shows, movies, and music, to other things like masturbation and improper use of our money and time. Masturbation is a big one, it’s the sin of lust and pornography is not always needed for it, one can use their thoughts and mind. It’s one thing to stop watching pornography, but masturbation must be stopped as well. You know it’s wrong because after, you feel un-clean and shame. It’s not pure.

You may be thinking, “Dexter, I am not perfect, I can’t stop all these things completely”. You’re right, we will never be 100% sin free, but that’s not a license to continue to do it anyway. Understand that the Lord doesn’t want perfection, he wants willful effort on our part to stop. So, for example, if the sexual urges come, we need to try everything in our power to not sin including dropping to our knees and asking the power of God to help us. If we fall, there is God’s grace and forgiveness, but God knows when we willfully try to stop and when we don’t.

This is also why we need to be praying every morning and night at a minimum so that we can be clean and prepared for the time Jesus comes, as it will be like a thief in the night.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-2:

1 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

THE DARKNESS AND CONFUSION

Right now, as Christians we’re fighting so much. It feels like all areas of life are being tainted beyond the point of no return by the enemy. We have what appears to be the precursor to a Mark of the Beast agenda deployment with these vaccine mandates. My fellow freedom fighters, do you remember when we brought this up and were called conspiracy theorists?

When the nurse Tiffany Dover fainted after getting the vaccine, death records were found, then they were scrubbed off the internet, the whole thing was covered up. If you research, all the fact checks, say false, yet we have no evidence she is alive.

ELECTION FRAUD

I mean what more evidence do you need on this subject? It’s all out there, if you search you will find. Now, I voted for Donald Trump both in 2016 and 2020, and heavily tried to expose the enemy and rally for him. I knew he had God’s hand on him when he won in 2016, but I knew that in 2020 the Deep State would do everything in their power to stop it. Which we witnessed on election night. I saw videos of unmarked vans dumping multiple duffle bags filled with ballots into USPS postal boxes on YouTube when I sorted by “Today” days after election night.

Then there is the 2021 Maricopa County presidential ballot audit. I watched the whole thing after enduring months of the fake news saying there was no fraud. They said it was the “most secure election in history”. More like the most unsecure!

Now, if you read the content in all those images, which is not everything by the way, as an IT guy, I know that if I deployed a kiosk in that condition I would be fired on the spot and potentially even have a lawsuit on my hands in the future. The company Dominion (meaning sovereignty or control) absolutely, 100% failed here, but that’s probably on-purpose. This is some of the worst work I have ever seen, and this is just ONE county! The point, our elections are not secure, our votes and the lives of those that died so we can vote and have our freedoms have been desecrated! Who is going to be arrested for this? There MUST be arrests.

SPIRITUAL DIVIDE

There were several prophets of God, as they claimed, and people with words of knowledge about Donald Trump and the 2020 election. When Trump lost the 2020 election, they were regarded as false prophets, their characters attacked. My character was also attacked. We all took a beating!

Now with Trump pushing the vaccine, many of us are wondering if Trump is still on the right path. It’s causing us to question. Some think Trump is uninformed about the negative aspects of the vaccines, or that he doesn’t want to let his accomplishment with Operation Warp Speed be taken away. Others think he is playing a game of 5D chess, needing to support the vaccines or be eviscerated by the Deep State controlled media.

THE COMING DAWN

When I attended YWAM, I could feel that the head leader really didn’t think I was growing through the course. Which is probably why they handed me my graduation certificate last.

The thing was I already knew most of what they were teaching me, I was there to experience the Holy Spirit in more powerful ways and hear the testimonies of the teachers. My quiet time there was at night. I would walk into the Church classroom late at night when everyone was asleep and pray to God and meditate. It was the only time it was quiet.

God made me to appear as unimpressive to others. I am overlooked and forgotten by most. It’s always been that way, but God told me that I am to choose the littlest place. I like being in the background and I don’t like attention drawn to myself but will pick up my sword and fight the information war when called.

I will be honest; I was about ready to give up hope on justice being done in this the U.S., but I landed on one of Clare’s posts and got my fighting spirit back.  Clare’s ministry is special to me because of how much I grew with it. I remember first landing on her Rhema page, and I would hit generate and sometimes I would get a Rhema two or three times in a row and I knew it was God. Eventually, he stopped doing that for me, but I will never forget it. What I love about her Still Small Voice ministry is it challenges the status quo of the American church and those that put God in a box and hold steady to deep-seated traditions and doctrine will not have a good time with it. As much of what you believe will probably be flipped on its head.

In Clare’s post titled: I Will Confound Your Naysayers

Jesus began,

“I will confound your naysayers, my beloved one. I know this has been a tough journey for you and many of my brides. You all are weary on the battlefield with various temptations to give up, and no longer believe in my promises or the words I have spoken to you. You are not the only one feeling hopeless and weary from this battle.

Many arrows and assignments have been released on my body in this hour with strong temptations to give up. Why are they attacking so hard? Because it is always the darkest before the dawn. Breakthrough is coming. And I know many of you have heard that time and time again and waited to see things not move as fast as you desired. But breakthrough is indeed coming, and right around the corner. Mark my words, beloved one, this summer will be one of celebration and dancing as I confound your naysayers.

Many of you have been scorned by loved ones concerning the vaccine, and of the truth of what really happened during the election. As they mocked you and all my prophets, spewing lies and defaming My character on top of it.

To turn this country back into the hands of the rightful president will take time, my beloved ones. But a big event is coming where truth will be revealed to the masses as the present administration’s motives and secret operations begin to be uncovered, slowly but surely, for the mess that it is”.

Those words are like sweet music to my ears! Gives me the motivation and then some to keep fighting! There is also another ministry I love, and it’s by Lana Vawser. When I read her prophetic word titled, It May Look Like the End, But It’s New Birth. I was like she was reading my mind! I lost count of how many times I said to myself in the last two years, “Lord, I feel dead”, “Lord. I am no longer myself”, and “Lord, what’s happening to me?”. This word was for me.

The Lord began to show me that their hearts were crying out to Him in deep pain. There was a place of brokenness they were experiencing because of all they had endured, there were so many questions, there was trauma, pain, grief, and a feeling of emptiness. I saw these ones looking back on the past few years and feeling like they were not the same person anymore. Hopelessness, disappointment, pain, trauma had taken root and they were feeling like the very life had been stolen from them, and breath and passion they once carried had waned.

I saw these ones crying out to the Lord feeling like they had reached their end. I could hear their hearts crying out to the Lord in the secret place “Lord, I feel like a part of me has died”, “Lord, I feel like I have died inside”, “Lord, the pain is overwhelming, I am exhausted Lord” – I watched as these ones were on their faces crying out. Dreams had died, passions had died, many left feeling ‘locked down’ and unable to ‘dream again’.

His voice broke in over these ones:

“It may look like the end, but it’s new birth”

Suddenly I was surrounded in the spirit by a very deep sense of transformation. I was surrounded in the spirit by a very deep sense of His reviving fire. I was surrounded by a stronger sense of new life, stronger than I had ever felt before. The Lord began to speak:

“There is deep pain, there has been brokenness, things have died within but these things are NO MATCH for My fire. My revival fire. I am coming swiftly and suddenly upon you now to not only REVIVE you, but to RESUSCITATE you, REBOOT you and RESET you.

THE COMING SOUL SHOCK

When the events unfold, many people in the world will receive ‘soul shock’. Where their perception of reality gets shaken so hard that they need to re-evaluate their beliefs and thinking. They will be forced to since their conscience will bother them beyond their understanding, and the Fake News can’t use their deceptive tactics to create lies that they can hide behind. This is not a fun experience, and for all of us that are awake we already went through it, and we’ve been trying to wake others up.

CONCLUSION

While the darkness is strong in this hour, we need to hold the line, keep the faith, and keep fighting. It’s up to us to keep praying and spreading awareness. Even if people unfriend us, mock us, reject us. We’re the light of the world and we’re not of the world but in it. If we truly love Jesus, we will let die our popularity and fear of the opinions that others may have of us should we go against the flow. What did Jesus say in “The Chosen”? Get used to different! If we do not go against the flow, there is no turning back, accelerated pace to the tribulation will begin.  Pain is coming for the corrupt, turn from your wicked ways.

So, folks, you need to ‘let it die’ your faith in politicians, the government, the systems, society, they will all fail you. Only God we should follow. To all my followers here and to the secret lurkers that know me personally, never give up!

Here is the ending music.
