In your Patience ‘Possess’ ye your souls

In the course of human events there stands one, in his providence, the judge of us all. It is then, we as a people, a nation, and on course to fulfill history, will see with an eye that thing which will come to pass. From this the concourse of the Americas, the people who gave their concise admonition unto the LORD God, had seen a divine vision, fulfilling that vision the land came into being one nation. This then fulfilled the dreams of the many that came. Yet without prejudice the people moved through history and received of that divine providence the benefits of a merciful creator.

It is with a great grief of heart that that nation has been decreed to destruction by the Almighty. With vision of portent the people who live in this great land will experience great grief. Thus, in the agony, the judgment and warning of the Almighty God, who in his justice will give unto the peoples that which they have so long labored for. Thus unto the wicked will be given the fruits thereof and the reward given will be death. Then unto the righteous will be given the fruits thereof and the reward given will be life. For the Lord God, giveth to all men readily as they have labored thereunto. He is no respecter of persons.

For the Wages of sin, “the Lord will repay”. Thus there are those who are the Lords, he will save them “with the right hand of his righteousness.” Again, the Lord is no respecter of persons. It is given then, this ‘Vault of Death’, being the America, which was stabilized and brought into birth so long ago, has been given the decree.

“for those who refuse to repent, both Jew and Gentile, Male and Female, in the church, and those outside of the church, i.e. ‘those who do wickedly’, ‘the children of disobedience’, the Lords wrath abides on them. For those, then, America will become the ‘Vault of Death’; there will be no escape, except in the LORD God and his only begotten Son Jesus Christ.”

“and unto the nations, the Lord will bring the judgment around to their doorsteps. Their laughter will be turned to mourning, their joy to bitterness, as the LORD God will be exalted and the pride of men will be brought low.”

For the times and seasons of men and nations, the LORD God controls. He is the governor of the nations. He is exalted in the heavens. He alone is the one to whom all knees shall bow and all tongues confess. In the times of ‘fear, turmoil, turbulence, uncertainty, wars, disorders, natural disasters, bloodshed, and godlessness’ shall the snare be laid. It is upon the nations, behold as the Lord has brought ‘fear, pit, and the snare’, he shall also give life unto those who repent and seek his face. For the LORD is full of mercy and grace, he giveth such to those who seek his face early.

For in such times, men will face deceptions, deceivers, false prophets, false Christ’s, false gospels, false spirits, such as men has never seen before. Their hearts full of these will fail them for the things that have come upon the earth. For all things shall be shaken, the earth, below the earth, and above the earth. The heavens are the LORDS, and the earth is his footstool. Behold, all ye who dwell upon the earth and look to the Eternal for thy salvation.

Amidst this, those who are called by my name, upon whom is my spirit, and in whom is my word, they shall be saved. But unto these shall be given that which has been dealt unto all thy brethren in the world. For the world hateth thee and all which you represent. The evil one even now is making war against you, but behold, in my name shall you conquer. You have already overcome by the ‘blood of the lamb’, and shall beat down the oppressor by the ‘word of your testimony’, and will come into the victorious glory by ‘loving your lives not unto the death.’ For this is the time written afore of shaking, tribulation, wars, and natural disasters. It is a time of hatred, violence, betrayal, persecution, and even death. Blood shall be upon blood, and those who shed such shall be rewarded. For it is the ‘days of vengeance’ written about. It is the ‘snare’ which was to come upon all the earth. For Lord speaketh from the heavens, yet, the world shakes as his word goes forth.

Exodus 19:18  And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

Acts 2:19  And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

Isaiah 13:13  Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

Hebrews 12:26  Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

For the Lord has said to us in Luke 21:19, “In your patience possess ye your souls.” For those who see these things, let it be said that we must have patience, that is:

Strongs patience #5281-perserverance, endurance, patient waiting. This is from a related word meaning #5259-as in status or authority and also from #3306-remain, live, dwell, to be in a state that begins and continues, as in ‘to abide in Christ’.

In our patient waiting, as we observe and live during these times, endurance must be ours, perseverance must be obtained, that is by means of remaining, dwelling, and living in a state of ‘abiding in Christ’ and no other, for we do not arm ourselves with the flesh, or have confidence in the flesh or this world. Our confidence, hope, and eternal reward is Christ Jesus, the hope of Glory, the only begotten son of God.

In doing this then, our patience, which we will preserver in, endure in, and obtain our conversation in Christ, will allow us to gain or Possess:

Strongs possess #2932-to get, gain, to control, provide, and possess. This is related to Strongs 2933, wealth and possession.

Our patience then will allow us to get gain, which is to control, and possess our souls or psuche. Psuche, meaning our seat of affections, will, desire, emotions, mind, reason, and understanding. This gaining is to control, take possession of that area that many lose. The seat of affections, which during these times of turmoil, fear shall come upon men, their hearts failing them. For those who are moving in ‘patience’, enduring, and abiding in Christ, getting control of and gaining their own emotions, will, reason, and understanding. Thus finding the purpose of God will be theirs. Revelation of Gods purpose, his love for you, filled with his peace, and walking in a true relationship with him, will be your gain or possession. In doing this, patience possessing your souls, you will gain your spirit, eternal life, and find true safety in the LORD God Eternal.

You will not be walking in fear as many others. Knowing the times and the seasons, understanding the Lord and not fearful of his wrath. It will be then that you will understand that you will not see the ‘wrath of God.’ For you ‘abide in the LORD God, his only begotten son Jesus Christ.

For many shall find that their nation, leaders, armies, silver, gold, supplies, nor any other arm of the flesh shall deliver them on that day.

Ezekiel 7:19  They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

But those who have understood, accepted, and sought the LORD, repenting of their wickedness shall find salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 5:9  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

For the many will not understand, they will not see clearly, nor hear. But the righteous shall understand, hear, and find the salvation of our LORD and our God.

Revelation 18:4  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5  For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6  Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7  How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8  Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

The LORD God has clearly commanded all men, all people, everywhere to Repent! It is this time and season. Repent of your sin; turn to the LORD God and his only begotten Son Jesus Christ, believing on Him. Turn from your ways, amend them, and follow righteousness, without which, no man shall see the LORD.

Acts 17:30  And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
