Many years ago, back when I first became enamoured with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, God gave me a vision.
Without going into a long explanation, it was of a fence line going North to South across the middle of the US but in a very zig-zag sort of way that had no real pattern. He made known to me that this was where the world stopped an Christianity began. The top of the fence was a razor; no one can straddly this fence! the West side was the world and the East side was Christianity. By appearances, some on the world side like more like the Church than some on the Christianity side due to the way the fence went back and forth across the US.
Then an Earthquake began. This earthquake began slowly ONLY ALONG the fence line, and it split the 2 sides apart. There were people clinging to both sides of the fence and THEY WERE DESTROYED! When it was all over, everyone KNEW which side of the fence they were on and those on each side of the fence KNEW who was on their side and who was an enemy on the other side!
Yep, it is going on RIGHT NOW! And I have been shown and told that many who THINK they are Christian are actually clinging to that fence; and they WILL BE DESTROYED!
I must say that not nearly the numbers will be saved as most Christians think. As Ravenhill said, he believed it would be 2 % of those who claimed to BE Christian, were in reality Christian. I believe he was being VERY, VERY KIND! Personally, I believe the number to be more like 0.2 % or maybe even far lower than that. This is of course in AMERICA. In other places, I cannot say as I have not been there and the Lord has not spoken to me about.
But I tell you the truth, I DO NOT LIE, when I say that AMERICAN PRIDE and ARROGANCE think we are FAR BETTER than we actually are and we shall see just how many actually stand the test.
Linda has a dream of a train with a bunch of people on it, some of whom we knew. As time went on, we moved up toward the front of the train. We were in the first car and looked ahead and saw a great curve in the tracks. We KNEW we would not make that curve at the speed we were traveling. But those of us in the first care also knew we were to ABSOLUTELY TRUST THE LORD with our lives EVEN IF we were to die.
The people in the cars behind got scared and pulled the emergency stop cords. This cause a great train wreck of all those care EXCEPT THE FIRST CAR. It left the tracks and flew into the water of a lake. A man who had been sqating by the lake stood and picked up the first train car, thereby saving everyone in it. Thos behind, were gravely injured and many had died.
THIS TOO is going on today in America. And it is only now that I have seen another aspect of the REALITY of both of these warnings from God.
Those who have put their trust ONLY IN CHRIST JESUS, have truly humbled themselves, let go of selfishness, including self-preservation. Self-preservation is a character trait of ALL of those who live in the world and follow after the flesh!
Only those who have laid down their lives, including their rights to themselves and also have put to death self-preservation actually trust God absolutely. This is shown clearly in the train dream.
The attributes of those who follow the Lord, are one of denying themselves, and a willingness to not compromise to the POINT OF DEATH! This is also pictured in Rev 12:11>>
Rev 12: 11And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing].
THIS is the attitude of the remnant! ONLY THIS ATTITUDE will ever keep anyone from deception, falling away, etc. Along with this attitude of absolute trust is a TOTAL LACK of reliance on self anything. No self taught, self determined, studying on our own, self-centered, prideful arrogance thinking we have the TRUTH above all others, will ever keep us safe.
In fact, those who presume to KNOW THE TRUTH are likely NOT to know it at all. It is a strange place to be in, not in thinking I know the truth, but TRUSTING HIM to teach me the truth. They sound so similar and yet are like night and day!
He is the ONE who determines what is right and wrong IN EVERY CASE! We cannot rely on ourselves in the least matter. Nothing we can do of ourselves is worth ANYTHING! And all of these things are in the New Testament, but are not spoken of except to give a little lip service to once in awhile.
How imperative this all is and how few KNOW IT!
Things are changing. The darkness is coming SOON! Lord, make me ready for the darkness; make me ready for what YOU want me to do; make me the MAN YOU DESIRE NO MATTER WHAT THAT COSTS.
And I can tell you, if you want something similar, IT WILL COST YOU GREATLY!
