This delusive movement is about a false faith and trust which misinterprets God's Word and make the promises of God say something they do not say. It is based upon the belief that through the power of the mind, combined with demands made upon God, every person can become wealthy, have riches and material blessings unimagined, and live the abundant life, having unequaled health and prosperity.

         Two basic themes are addressed and promised - wealth and health. This belief is also part of the peace and prosperity movement, which looks for peace and financial safety in a world that is out of control. It's subtlety lies in that it keeps the person focused upon earthly things, getting rich, living a comfortable life, having guaranteed security and abundant health for life.

        The person following this delusion is unaware that seeking for security in things that have no eternal value becomes a diversion and a distraction, directing a person's attention away from real eternal spiritual values and truth. Reality becomes unreality, and unreality becomes reality. The focus on real spiritual values becomes blurred if not extinguished.

         If this is the way God works in the lives of His followers, if we have heaven on earth as envisioned by these people, there is no need for Jesus to come to take us to heaven. It is a totally incongruent idea in light of the things that are now taking place in this world. To believe this lie (that health and prosperity can be obtained here on earth), is to be lulled into a false sense of security, to be blind to the true condition of the world and of our own selfish hearts. This belief has nothing in common with what the Lord wants to accomplish in the life of those who follow Him. This movement has a new-age mindset. Specifically it teaches that by focusing all your energies and thoughts upon some particular carnal goal you can make it happen.
 
IDEA AROUND FOR MANY YEARS:

         This goal oriented philosophy is not original with the abundant life preachers. It has been highly visible in worldwide marketing programs, especially in a product line that has been around for many years, one which started with multilevel marketing of a washing soap powder.  At motivational sales meetings and rallies the total emphasis and hype is on making big money, getting out of the mundane lifestyle of having a "job," and working towards your dream of financial independence.    Promotional schemes actively involve thinking big and bold. The sales people are taught to use simple props such as putting pictures up around the house of the material possessions (idols) they hope to get. Motor homes, mansions, pictures of exotic vacation places, all are possible to obtain by focusing on these things. This is called the power of positive thinking, and in today's new-age terminology is called visualizing and imaging.

         By concentrating their mental energies upon their desires and wishes, by being involved in the company and its product line, and pushing, pushing, pushing to get ahead, by faith in their ability to succeed, by thinking about it, selling the product line, and telling themselves they will achieve that goal, it is supposed to happen.

         Unfortunately, except for a very few who get to the top, most of those who are sucked into this trap and brainwashed, find it is an illusive dream which never happens.

         The sad part of this approach is that it has been taken up by religious groups as the way to get ahead in this world. They attempt to bring God into the picture, thus in their mind assuring His presence and blessing upon their endeavor. The mind set is that God wants them to be happy and blessed with the things of this world, and will help them if they help themselves.

         When financial increase does not happen, the person is often left with a broken self-image, an idolatrous religious experience, and sometimes broken homes. He may blame God for not answering his prayers. That which was to be his salvation in this world, ends up as an impossible dream which has eluded his frantic efforts to fulfill this earthly desires. A humble, repentant, godly focused spiritual life is all but extinguished, being replaced by the pursuit of idols. If God was supposed to bless the person and He did not, according to his way of thinking, then God cannot be trusted. The enemy has accomplished his goal and another poor soul has succumbed to his wiles and fallen into his trap.
 
OPPOSED TO GOD'S PLAN:

         This material gain concept is so diametrically opposed to God's plan for man as to bear no resemblance to truth. It is presumption of the worse kind, for it based upon the delusion of peace and prosperity, upon a faith not in God, but in oneself and what he can accomplish if he puts his mind to it. It is the "You can lift yourself up by pulling on your bootstraps" concept, which of course is totally impossible.

         God is not involved in helping anybody in this way. Especially since we are living in the very last days of this earth's history, when the whole world and its unholy people are destined for destruction. "By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. Seeing then that all these things shall be discovered, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?" (2 Peter 3:7,11,12)
 
NOTHING IN COMMON WITH SALVATION:

         This delusion has nothing to do with God's plan of salvation, rather it is the direct antithesis of it. It bears no resemblance to our example Jesus or his lifestyle when He was here on earth. He who showed us how we were to live, act, and work, did not even have a home to call His own or a place to lay His head. How is it that those who believe this delusion can think that their carnal pursuit has any connection with the God of heaven, or that He will bless their endeavors? Obviously they are falling for Satan's lies and promises. It is against God's character to answer these carnal desires, for they are eternal life threatening to the soul.

         To focus upon this world and it treasures and pleasures, its goals and its ability to bring peace and happiness, is a dream inspired by the enemy, in those who are willing to sell their souls for the things of the earth.
 
THE WAY OF THE CROSS:

         The true follower of Jesus, must carry his cross. Trials and tribulation and attacks by Satan will always be the lot of the Lord's followers, especially as we see the day of the Lord approaching. As Satan hates Jesus, so he hates those who are Jesus' followers. As the Lord allows, he will place every obstacle and hardship he can invent in front of the Christian.

         The Lord allows this to happen to the Christian to test, try, and prove his fidelity. The refining process must take place in the fires of affliction. Without this experience, faith and trust cannot develop, Christ likeness cannot happen, the life cannot be changed, and righteousness cannot be given.

         Can the follower of the way expect to live above hardship if he is truly following Jesus. The answer, of course, is "NO." The believer's lot will never be better than Jesus'. If he hopes to share in the glories of heaven and be with Jesus, he must bear the cross that is placed upon him. This is the only way of salvation.
 
SATAN WILL NOT BLESS, UNLESS:

         Satan would never bless a Christian with material riches unless he thinks he can entrap and involve him in the cares of this life, and change his focus away from what is of real value. "He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful." (Matt. 13:22) "And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection." (Luke 8:14)
 
SERVANT NOT GREATER THAN HIS MASTER: 

        Jesus put it this way to His disciples when talking about trials and suffering. "Verily, verily, I say unto you. The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him." Jesus suffered and lived without even having a place to call His own or lay His head; He was abused, hated, and crucified on an ignominious cross. Can those who are His servants expect better treatment? He also said that His followers would be hated of all men. This does not sound like the kind of life so many in the faith movement are seeking. This is not following in the footsteps of Jesus. The two concepts are totally incompatible and reveal this delusion for what it is - another ploy of the enemy.
 
FAITH IN MONETARY REWARDS:

         Anyone looking for the Holy Grail of wealth, fame, fortune, or an abundant physical life, is not inspired from above. In fact, Jesus told us to do just the opposite. "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you. Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on, Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?" (Matt 6:19-25)

        Jesus has spoken so clearly that non need err. He will never bless any such endeavor, even if prayed for by some deluded soul.
 
BLESSINGS FROM SATAN:

         Anyone who puts an emphasis upon this kind of life, can know with certainty that if he is blest, it is not a blessing from the Lord above. It is Satan that is behind the good luck that people have at game shows, games of chance, lotteries, gambling, and peoples endeavor to seek and reach for earthly possessions.

         The word "luck" comes from the word "Lucifer," the original name of Satan who is behind any lucky happenings, and it is he whom people are dependent upon for any Satanic blessings, and he to whom they are beholden when he blesses them, and into whose death trap they have fallen. And Satan is not against blessings those who are asking for his blessings. He wants to make it worth their while so that they will remain a subject of his kingdom of sin and selfishness. He wants to imbue them with his character. He will richly bless them to keep them happy, contented and part of his family. Little do those who profess to be Christians, but who are seeking this lifestyle realize to whom they are giving allegiance.
 
BLESSINGS FROM JESUS:

         By way of contrast, the true Christian's emphasis is the exact opposite. He is not looking for earthly riches, fame or fortune. His whole life is focused on seeking an intimate personal relationship with Jesus, a laying of everything-spirit, soul, and body-upon the altar of sacrifice, with no thought of blessings to be received. He wants to be one with God in will, heart and desire.

         Sometimes in the process of achieving that goal, which is accomplished only with the help of the Holy Spirit, the Lord may bestow unasked for blessings, but not because the believer is seeking them. No one who believes in a loving Heavenly Father questions that He blesses those whom He loves and who follow Him.

        Many are the accounts of God causing miracles to happen in a person's life, but not because they were trying to extract them from God. Most of the extra blessings from God come in unexpected ways and at unexpected times, totally in God's surprising ways.
 
EMPHASIS DETERMINES ACTIONS:

         The key here is on the EMPHASIS AND GOALS. This determines which master the person is seeking, whether Christ or Satan. Herein lies the whole difference.

         If a person's endeavor and focus is upon worldly possessions, goals, and aspirations, living the good life, etc., he is worshiping not the God of heaven but mammon and is surely motivated by the enemy. If on the other hand the emphasis is upon a heavenly relationship, one in which God is sought and worshipped, abundant heavenly blessings will come as a consequence of the relationship and as God sees fit, not because the person is seeking those blessings. God always gives His blessings above what we anticipate, for He is more generous than we can imagine, bestowing and pouring out His blessings unstintingly. Sometimes He will bestow financial and material blessings, but not because the person is seeking them.

         Our loving Heavenly Father is far to wise to cause anything earthly to detract and take the focus away from the relationship. He knows our carnal, human heart's propensities, and the lure of the things of this earth. Our only hearts desire should ever be Jesus and Him alone.

         There are however, times when God will send or allows material blessings to come, to test, try, and prove the person, to reveal to them their inner motives.  The Lord has only one desire for us - to be prepared by His Holy Spirit for a live with Him for eternity. In order for this to happen, faith and trust in Him must be developed.   This cannot happen if we have our hearts earthly desires and our every carnal wish fulfilled. Jesus is trying to prepare us for terrible times which are just ahead, a time of trouble such as this world has never seen. At that time we will be totally dependent upon Him for everything. Every earthly belonging will be lost, our jobs, homes, material possessions, money, friends, and family. On top of that, the worldwide catastrophes and cataclysmic events will cause our way of life to cease. It will be the end of the world with no future to look forward to on this planet.

         Jesus Said: "And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." (Matt 6:28-34)

         "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory." Col 3:1,2
 
TRYING TO PUT WORDS INTO GOD'S MOUTH:

         Those preaching the faith movement are putting words into the Lord's mouth that He did not say or even imply. On the contrary, the Bible teaches that the Lord chastens whom He loves. Sometimes the blessings He bestows come by way of trials and hardship. God's ultimate goal for us is not for the good life on this earth, with abundant health and means, but rather to prepare us to be fit subjects for heaven.
 
         Character development does not come with a life of ease and excesses, or from catering to our carnal natures. It comes ONLY through trials and tribulation, of crucifying of self, through tests of faith. This is an ongoing process that can only come as a result of having an intimate, personal relationship with Jesus, and receiving His Holy Spirit into the life.

        This totally excludes any notion of peace and prosperity as taught by the faith movement.
 
FAITH HEALINGS TRUE AND FALSE

         Another part of this faith movement has to do with health and healing. The same belief in peace and prosperity is also evident here. Again, the person's emphasis determines whether the healing, if it happens, comes from above or below, and the type of healing the person receives. In the next chapter paranormal healing as opposed to God's miraculous healings will be considered in some detail.
 
THE LORD'S ROLE IN HEALING:

         The Lord's primary interest is in ones eternal life, and not necessarily living an abundant healthy life on this earth, even though one does reap vast health benefits if he lives according to God's laws of health. But this is rather a consequence of following natural laws which, of course, come from the Lord.  This is a far cry, irrespective of ones lifestyle, from seeking healing by some supernatural means, or expecting to live without pain or any physical disability, just because the person is prayed for, prays for, or uses the powers of the mind to think themselves well.
 
HEALING THE ENEMY'S WAY:

         Healing is big business today, whether talking about the use of drugs, or by attending a big televangelist meeting, as the evangelist plies his trade, healing through prayers, incantations, or theatrics. Millions of dollars, maybe billions, are being made off of people's illnesses. Some are healed, or appear to be. Remember that Satan can also heal those he makes sick. But all too often innocent people come expecting a miracle in their life. They are told that they can be healed IF THEY HAVE ENOUGH FAITH.

         There are no conditions to be met, no change in eating or living habits which contributed to the illness in the first place, only have faith. If the person is not healed, then it is claimed that he did not have enough faith. The person goes away feeling there must be something wrong with him that they did not have the faith to be healed. He is disillusioned and disheartened, in worse shape that before.
 
THE ABUNDANT, HEALTHY LIFE FIXATION:  

         Directly related to being healed, is the other extreme of idolizing the physical body, seeking a vibrant, healthy body free of aches and pain. This is accomplished by these body worshippers by faith in their works, of devoting large amounts of time to exercise, sun tanning, and eating the right foods. Like the quest for material goods and financial independence, it is the EMPHASIS THAT IS WRONG, the reason for doing the act.

         The person involved in body and health worship, does not seek to glorify God through his lifestyle, but rather glorifies himself and what he has accomplished by his work and dedication. Little if any credit is given to the Lord who created us. The time, energy, and money involved in these pursuits is not to the honor and glory of God. The blessings that accrue are not from heaven. It is not an act of faith in God that brought them their good health or a beautiful body, but rather a natural consequence of nature. They are rewarded according to their works.

         This is not to say that good health habits are not important? Far from it, it is most important for those seeking to be citizens of the new earth. Seeking to live as healthy a life as is possible is certainly not wrong. In fact, we are told to keep our physical body temples clean to the honor and glory of God.

         This health aspect of the faith delusion, perhaps more than any other, absorbs large amounts of time, effort, and money as people seek the goal of a body
beautiful and abundant health. Sometimes many hours a day are spent in pursuit of these goals. It is entirely self glory and pride.

         In this time of the end, there is no time to lose. God's clock is counting down, and sooner than people realize probationary time will close, and they will be unprepared for what is to come. They will then seek for the salvation of the Lord, but it will have passed them by, because they were so involved with the things of this world that the Lord could not reach them.

         This search for physical health and prosperity is a very strong diversion of the enemy to keep people sidetracked and absorbed in things that have NO ETERNAL VALUE. They will have given up eternal life in their quest for the fountain of youth, and the holy grail of health and happiness. The apostle Paul told Timothy: "For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come." (1 Tim. 4:8)
 
MUST DIE TO SELF AND PRIDE:

         Dying to self, pride, and the pride of life must be dealt with NOW. The Lord never promised those who follow Him financial or monetary rewards, or even an abundant life of health and happiness. Jesus told us to follow Him, and what road did He trod? He was the poorest of the poor in material or monetary blessings. He had no earthly goods, not even a pillow.

         If we are following in His footsteps, we will not be seeking or gain the goals of the faith movement. As the end of this world approaches God's promise is sure. OUR NEEDS, NOT OUR WANTS, WILL BE SUPPLIED BY HIM ALONE. He, through His angels will supply our every need. But at the same time He also tells the Christian that poverty, heartache, and sorrow is their promised lot, as He attempts to deal with self and pride in our lives.

         For our part we are to keep the eye single and have as our only goal to be like Jesus our Example. Our only emphasis should be spiritual, not financial security. All problems, trials, and tribulations in our life are allowed so we can grow spiritually and learn to trust our Lord. Self and foolish pride must die, as painful as that is. The carnal, selfish, sin sick old man, the lustful, self-seeking, earthly nature, this body of death must die, must be detached from our spiritual bodies, or else we will die the second death.

A MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN

         In the summer of 1990, a seer was taken in a dream (vision) to Jesus. The following is what the seer was told and shown regarding the time of the end. Especially pertinent is the instruction Jesus gave regarding possessions and end time events that are soon take place. This truth as given by Jesus Himself, exposes the faith movements assertions and lies for its followers to see, if they would just look. Jesus tells it like it is, and does not lie. Soon the fulfillment of these prophetic messages will take place before our eyes, soon these prophecies will be history. As the words of the song so aptly put it: "Our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus name. On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand."
 
EARTHLY POSSESSIONS AND THE END OF TIME:
 
         The Spirit showed me how much JESUS loves us. He cares for us with an infinite tenderness. He tells us, "I am watching over you. I love you and all that you possess is mine. I am taking care of all your belongings as well as your life. When you leave your home and when you return, I am looking after you and your house."

ALL POSSESSIONS BELONG TO JESUS:

         JESUS gave me to understand that all that we have belongs to Him, and that nothing we have is ours alone. All our possessions must be used carefully, and nothing wasted. The LORD wishes us to pay less attention to our belongings, our pictures, furniture, our house and many other things in which we have a selfish interest.

EVERYTHING WILL BE TAKEN FROM US:

        The LORD tells us, "The day is coming when everything will be taken from you." If you have belongings which you do not use and have no need, sell them now and give them to the poor and to the community. And then, says the LORD, "Come and follow me! I am looking after you; you are Mine, and I will care for you tenderly."
 
SEPARATING FROM POSSESSIONS HARD:

         The LORD understands our difficulty in separating ourselves from our possessions. That separating ourselves from our belongings and the things we love, causes us a great moral suffering. JESUS has shown me that we must sell certain of our belongings because things are becoming more and more difficult and the day will arrive when we can no longer sell. The LORD wants us to give donations, but not sparingly as with acts of charity, but, on the contrary, with generosity and love straight from the heart. The LORD takes care of the forest animals, the birds who feed without having reaped; therefore how much more will our Heavenly Purveyor [Provider] safeguard us from want.
 
JESUS KEEPS SATAN AWAY:

         Satan is always trying to defeat those who love JESUS with powerful weapons, but JESUS is stronger and those who trust in Him will always be secure. Satan can do nothing as long as we have Him as our safeguard. The stronger our close contact with Him, the greater will grow our faith. JESUS says, "Do not look uneasy or upset; do not be over-anxious; I Am taking care of you." And I saw that all those who have placed their life in the Hands of JESUS are watched over by messengers. These heavenly messengers are cooperating with those whose heart is entirely devoted to helping those who are suffering or are in need. Look to JESUS, your Safeguard.
 
PUT CONFIDENCE IN JESUS:

         In the night, when the sinner is surrounded by darkness and cannot see the form of the obstacles in front of him, if he puts his confidence in JESUS, sure that He is close by his side, he can go forward in full security, because, although invisible to him, the HOLY SPIRIT will light his path. JESUS is the Light of the world.

         As long as we have our eyes fixed on Him, we shall not lose our way, even in the thickest fog and the darkest night. JESUS will light our path and say to us, "Have no fear, go forward; I am with you, have confidence in Me." The Angels and the HOLY SPIRIT always lead us on the most sure path, because GOD will take care of us and not let us get lost. Let us look to JESUS, keep our eyes fixed on Him, for He is always at our side to help us to come out of darkness towards His wonderful Light.
 
CHILDREN AND THE KINGDOM:

         Jesus is the most beautiful name in the whole universe: A name that is above all other names, source of joy, happiness, JESUS the Good Shepherd, JESUS the Morning Star, the beautiful name before Whom Angels prostrate themselves in worship, JESUS, the Lamb of GOD, Who takes away the sin of the world. JESUS, the Shepherd of big and little children.
 
TIME OF TROUBLE COMING FOR BELIEVERS
HOUSES AND PROPERTY CONFISCATED:

         I saw that my house would be confiscated; non-believers had fenced in the back yard and were working in the garden. I had nothing left belonging to me in this world; it had all been taken. My children and I were going across some fields to find refuge in the woods or forests. I was very tired. We wanted to rest in the shadow of a tree, but in order to prevent us from doing this, some wicked people who knew that we were Sunday "heretics", came and cut down the branches of the tree until it was bare of foliage, telling us, "It is because of you that the world is in distress and that everything goes wrong." But the HOLY SPIRIT said to me, "Let the wicked alone, for soon their retribution will be arriving." The mayor of the community had given the authorization to people to take over my house.

         These people came to me and said, "You are no longer the proprietor of your house, it is us. It is because of your rebellion as to Sunday observance that you are being chased from your house. It is because of your fidelity to JESUS in observing the Sabbath."
 
EVERYTHING TO BE TAKEN AWAY:

         A time is coming when everything will be taken away from us. Let us not live selfishly. If we have possessions that we do not use, sell them and give them to the poor. Do not hesitate to give gifts to the Relief Organization. There are people who are suffering and have need of care and treatments. Evil people will come and take away everything we possess: house, land, boat, plane . . . That is why JESUS has shown me that, as from now, before the time of trouble, we must get rid of everything likely to hinder us, and learn to live with a little and with the Grace of JESUS. It is now that we must learn privations because danger is waiting to waylay us. Some people are comfortably installed, but the suffering that awaits us should cause us to reflect and prepare ourselves in view of persecution. That is why the Angel told me that our preparation must be of a moral order, and a spiritual preparation, and not physical and material.
 
ALL BELIEVERS TO FACE DIFFICULTIES:

         I saw in a dream that each one of us will come face to face with difficulties when the decree is published and when we no longer have the right to buy and sell. All those who do not have in them the mark of the beast will be deprived of everything. All our means will be taken away from us. In a dream, I no longer had the right to draw my salary from the bank. I saw that I had to have that mark in the forehead or in the hand in order to withdraw some money. I saw that those who will be faithful and who love their SAVIOR sincerely will not be able to betray Him and will prefer to be deprived of everything. I found myself in a bank, and I saw the employees verifying the mark, in forehead or in the right hand, by means of a computer in the bank. Those who had this mark could withdraw money, but, not having this code myself, I knew that I could not be served by these employees. I left the bank. I had no money on me at all. I went towards the fruit market, to a stall containing apples.

         I started to beg, asking the saleswoman, "Give me three apples for my children." But she replied, "Why have you no money? You are young, and with three children, you should have right to the social service aid. It is not possible that you have no money." I saw Satan and his devils work on this saleswoman, suggesting to her to tell me, "Ah, it is you, the Sabbath observers? It is surely you who don't want to reverence Sunday. And because of Saturday you are attracting calamities and sufferings to the world. I will give you no fruit. Observe Sunday and you will have the money to buy food." But I was attached to my adorable SAVIOR and to Sabbath worship; I could not go back. So then she shouted, "Go away, heretic! Come and see the heretic!" They all came running to see me, looking at me as if I were a strange animal, a sheep being led to the slaughter, as if I were the plague itself, a beast to be destroyed.

         Their hard faces regarded me without pity and they chased me away. Then it was that I felt really alone. I had no more right to anything in this world. The only recourse left to me was JESUS. Yes, brothers and sisters, when we are stripped of everything and without food, celestial beings will bring us fruit, which will be none other than heavenly nourishment. That is why today we must start to educate our taste and our body to like fruit and vegetarian nourishment. JESUS wishes us to learn, from now on, to change our method of nourishment and to live in a healthful manner.
 
"LIVING IN TIME OF THE END - TIME OF REVELATION 11:18"
 
EARTH POLLUTED BY SMOKE, NUCLEAR WASTE:

         In a dream, I saw the pollution of the earth, toxic smoke pouring from the factories. Oxygen was lacking in certain places. Men were angry; they were destroying the earth created by GOD. Nuclear centers were producing extremely dangerous waste refuse. I saw that the planet was suffering from pollution of all sorts. Men, women and children will be affected by various forms of cancer, and fear abounds, in the world's distress. For that reason we should flee from towns and take refuge in the countryside.

         I saw human beings suffocating by lack of oxygen in an air contaminated by all these pollutions. Entire forests are infected and destroyed by pollution. If the air continues thus to be polluted, nature will die and men will have to have recourse to the artificial to replace the natural.

         Vegetation and livestock will be infected. JESUS is coming to destroy those who are destroying the earth and who are plunging humanity in dire suffering. But for us, this Return is a beautiful hope and it is soon-coming.
 
HOUSE BUILDING TYPIFIES LAST DAYS:

       JESUS showed me a number of little houses which are being built now rapidly. Men are absorbed by the taste of luxury, interior comfort more and more stylish with the aid of better quality materials. So they go on building and plant around their houses, ornamental trees, with various arrangements to embellish the outskirts of their dwellings, and so satisfy their expensive tastes.

          The HOLY SPIRIT showed me that this typifies the Last Days, as outlined in Matthew 24:37. I saw that the men of the Last Days will be inclined towards perishable things, and that SO-CALLED CHRISTIANS WILL BE LED TO THINK THAT THE FUTURE IS STILL BEFORE THEM (emphasis added). Men will be saying, "Let us build houses," thereby involving themselves with enormous credits and causing themselves unhappiness for the sake of this world's goods. Men will be lovers of money, always wanting more.
 
GIVE WHILE WE CAN:

         In this dream, the LORD showed me that church members will no longer be making "cheerful" offerings with joy, but will retain their gifts and money which the LORD would use for the advancement of His work. They will become unfaithful and rebellious, saying, "Why do they ask more money from us? What good will that do?"

         Those people do not comprehend GOD'S Will so far as they are concerned, nor the need for the development and expansion of His Work in the world. They are attached to the money which the LORD has put in their hands without even becoming aware that they are retaining what belongs to GOD Himself.  The LORD will call for an account from each one, of all that He has given and placed in their hands, and the manner in which they have used these benefits.

         Nobody considers anybody else. Some prefer to cover their mortal body with luxurious, fashionable garments, to treat themselves to elegant hair styles and in general, to please themselves rather than bringing their gifts for needy souls.
 
STOP BEING SELFISH:

         The Angel said to me, "Stop being selfish and let compassion and consecration become manifest in you." Let us visit the needy; also, aged persons who may need to have some jobs done for them or other indispensable services. We must not live selfishly. Each day, let us ask ourselves this question, "What have I done today for the LORD JESUS?" A spirit of devotion, of love, whatever may be the service rendered, small or great, will glorify our Heavenly Father in the skies. The most beautiful words I heard the LORD say were that He is our safeguard, and that He is taking a tender care for each one of us. JESUS is inviting us to get rid of goods we are not using because He is coming, and we will no longer have need of them.
 
MUST ABANDON COMPLETELY TO JESUS:

         Each child of GOD has to abandon himself entirely to JESUS, because it is He who takes care of us. Have confidence in Him in spite of the difficulties and the testing we are enduring. The love of JESUS is great; He wants us to learn to give and to love GOD and our neighbor.

         The HOLY SPIRIT told me that JESUS has blessed us many times in our life. He loads us with His benefits, with His riches. Each year He gives us beautiful seasons, but His most beautiful gift is the Sabbath Day. This day comprises all the love of GOD for humanity. Let us be grateful and render to the LORD our worship to please Him by our gifts and our actions of grace.

         Do not offer small pieces of money such as were shown to me, whilst He grants us everything so liberally. Let us give with joy so that there is a sustenance in His House, and so that His work advances throughout the entire world; and He will open for us "the gates of Heaven" and blessings in abundance will be granted to us.
 
WHEN JESUS FINISHES HIS WORK IN MOST HOLY:

         Then JESUS, having finished His Ministry in the Most Holy Place, threw His censer down, and, lifting His Hands, cried in a loud voice, "It is finished." The earth was plunged into calamities and sorrows by reason of the plagues which had been poured out upon its impenitent inhabitants. I saw JESUS withdraw Himself from before the propitiatory altar. All Heaven was joyful. I heard the praises of the Angels who were preparing to accompany the Bridegroom, Who is JESUS.

         I marveled at hearing their songs glorifying GOD. My eyes contemplated JESUS. I saw Him lift from His neck a band of cloth on which were fixed some precious stones ornamenting His Breast. He then lifted His priestly robe and folded it. This robe vibrated with a thousand tones of the little bells and pomegranates decorating the lower part of the garment. He also lifted from His forehead the red band on which were written these words, "HOLINESS To The Eternal". Then He seated Himself in joyful expectation.
 
JESUS IS COMING:

         The Angel who accompanied me told me, "You are going to witness the greatest and most solemn event in Heaven." And he added, "Look at that Angel; it is the Angel Gabriel. He is in the service of JESUS. He is the strongest Angel." He was big and had great wings. I saw JESUS ask him to bring His Kingly Robe, and I saw this robe in the hands of the Angel Gabriel. Its whiteness was such as I had never seen before.

         Then he assisted JESUS to don the robe. He then placed a golden crown on His Head and presented Him with a sickle which sparkled with a thousand glittering facets. Then he left Him. I still heard the songs of praise. JESUS, the Bridegroom, was going to meet His bride.     Never before had any earthly king such an incomparable beauty. The trumpets were sounding; units of thousands of Angels were waiting for JESUS to give the sign; all were radiant with joy at this long-awaited moment.

        Then I saw JESUS order His Angels to follow Him. They passed the corridor of Orion. It is impossible to describe the beauty and magnificence of this nuptial cortege. The songs of the Angels and the loud burst of the trumpets resounded like to pierce the sky roof. The scene was so glorious that my whole being was shivering. All was beauty and wonderful. My eyes had never beheld such a majestic event.

WHEN JESUS COMES:

        When JESUS appeared on the clouds in the sky, I could see, at a distance of many miles, the whiteness of His robe, the glitter of His Crown and of His Sickle. JESUS was established as King of Glory. Surrounding Him were myriads of Angels who followed Him. But JESUS did not place His Feet on the earth. He remained in the cloud, and I saw His Angels descending to gather His elect, all those who were saved and sealed.    JESUS extended His Pierced Hands towards them, saying, "My grace is sufficient for you."
 
THE NEW EARTH:

         In a dream, I saw the New Earth. The glory of GOD illuminated the fertile plains and valleys. Everything was like a diamond, the trees with golden and silver glints, sparkling in the daylight. I saw an immense valley whose ground scintillated with a most lovely verdant green, and it formed a magnificent picture I cannot describe, so far did the beauty of that valley of the New Earth surpass anything one could imagine. I saw the redeemed walking with animals at their side; their clothing was of a dazzling white, reflecting the justice of CHRIST and the glory of GOD. Their faces radiated an infinite peace.

         The Spirit of GOD told me that there were no more curses, no bereavements, no worries nor sufferings. All had been transformed and restored. I saw an earth of lovely color, airy, purified, handsome like velvet. There were no rocks nor obstacles to wound the bare feet of the redeemed.

         I remained standing, contemplating them. The elect were walking, joyous, resplendent with happiness. I wanted to join them, but I felt an obstacle in front of me forbidding me to walk on that purified earth. I could not go to them, despite the fervent desire within me to do so.

         A group of redeemed passed before me, saying, "What are you doing there? Do not stand like that looking at us; come with us and enjoy the eternal life. Come and contemplate GOD and His great love." They raised their arms in my direction, saying, "Come!" I wept because I felt that I could not cross over the barrier in front of me. And the Spirit said to me, "You are on sinful earth, still in a mortal state."

         My eyes contemplated that purified earth with its velvety aspect. It seemed to me that it would be sweet to put my bare feet thereon, like the redeemed. The Angel said to me, "On this New Earth, there is no need for cars nor airplanes to travel, to go from one place to another. At the mere thought of going there, would enable one to travel like the Angels. I lifted my eyes and saw people flying and traveling in that way. I saw that they were all going thus to meet JESUS, because it was a Sabbath Day.

         I saw there were most beautiful fruits prepared for the elect, fruits never seen down here. These fruits are the food of the redeemed. My brothers and sisters, don't you wish to go to the New Earth? Everything here is second rate, illusions and traps. Let us aspire to eternal things and prepare ourselves to live with GOD and His Angels to eternity. I could not cross over to the New Earth because I am not transformed, but I can tell you that nothing down here can replace what is waiting for us up there on high.

         Eternal death is frightful, but JESUS, our SAVIOR, offers us this eternal life. He loves us with an unfathomable love. If your eyes were able to be really opened, you would see the great love of JESUS for His elect; also, that of GOD.
 
LET US GET READY:

         Let us get ready, because JESUS is coming to seek His chosen ones and to take them to the New Earth where there is no sin, and no pollution nor rebellion against His law. There will be nobody to destroy the earth; all will be restored. Eden will be restored -- peace, joy, happiness, the ineffable happiness of being near to GOD. Our sufferings will end. All will be perfect.
 
LIVE IN THE LOVE FOUND IN JESUS:

         Let us learn to live in the love that is in JESUS CHRIST, and let Heaven begin from now in our hearts, because if we do not love each other, if slander and criticism fill our hearts, JESUS cannot take us to enjoy the ineffable happiness of His Kingdom. That is why we must become new men and women, living, not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit of GOD, and bearing much fruit.

         Let us give up entirely our self in order to become entirely the children of JESUS. Let us give up pride, presumption, anger, slander, jealousy. What else? All those who will live on the New Earth will be, in their character, similar to JESUS. Let us, from now on, live with the joyous hope of eternity which awaits us, very soon, close to JESUS.
