“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: and thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.”

Is there a defining eternal life question? 

 “We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man,[Jesus]  we do not know where He is from.” ³⁰The man answered and said to them, “Well, here is an amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.”  (John 9:29-30) [added for clarity]

“Measure the message not the man or surely your soul will deceive you.”                                                                                     Michael Daniel Dooze.

We may be the elect but we can disqualify ourselves at the last minute! Remember our will is still in play. What was once thought to be impossible, is, according to Jesus, actually probable for “many!”

Shall we enter eternity naked of the disciplines critical to the governing of our eternal free will?

If we have been forgiven and totally cleansed by Christ’s death, asking Him to BE Lord, do we realize what John, Paul and Jesus said we all must then know and do in order to maintain our new condition, to stay ready to actually be admitted into eternity?

“Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?”  (Matthew 16:2 NAS)

There will be an Apostasy, a falling away of “believers.” Why is John saying that “believing” is not enough?  After all he also says, “He who believes in the Son has eternal life;…” What else does he say in that portion of scripture? (John 3:36 NAS)

We know Jesus but does He know us? You say yes? So did I. Maybe He does but “Many” will say yes crying “Lord, Lord” only to be cast out. Oh He knew them but when it counted, they thought not and refused to repent. “How do you know that?” They were cast out because of lawlessness! When they asked, sought, and knocked about the beam in their eye, God told them the truth, it felt like a rock, so they did not respond in repentance! They basically said to God, “You don’t know me!” So Jesus in making His point demonstrated this reality and replied accordingly by speaking from God’s point of view, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.” (Matthew 7:22-23 NAS)  This verse points to something that we have control over. Does God know us? Does the truth prevail in us despite the pain of discipline? Do we hunger for the discipline of God that teaches us eternal rules?

The Lord is adjusting our understanding, expanding on the truth we have believed. This preparatory act on His part should tell us our time is short. We know God desires that none should perish but that all should come to repentance. Does His expanded effort, as evidenced by the insight He is giving, not speak of urgency. Oh not tomorrow but as soon as a particular message is preached world-wide, as a testimony to Him, “then” things start to happen! The message is in an unfulfilled prophecy by Christ! All prophecy will be fulfilled!

Is this a message from God in the Spirit of Daniel 12? Yes. I am convinced that “Exit Strategy, we initiate the return of Christ” is! Like the man said, “Measure the message not the man or surely your soul will deceive you.” Read the book, read the postings, see if your spirit does not witness to the scriptures and insight found therein. Then decide.

For centuries many of us sincerely and faithfully have studied the Word and served Him. In reading “Exit Strategy” you will all ask as I did, “How could we have missed this?” It now appears to have been purposeful; intentional on God’s part. All of God’s ducks were not in a row yet.

As my header portrays, like a red sunrise heralding the coming Storm, Christ stands before us. Will we see by His Words and those of Paul, John, and the rest? Do we discern the times?

“Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?”  (Matthew 16:2 NAS)

Will we gain understanding or cling to traditional thought? Will we see our destiny in this final revolution of love, this revival of revealing Him to the world by our testimony and by suffering this world and its unjust trials by grace, proving to whomever how real He is to us?

Will we chose His ways personally, running to Him for grace to help in time of need? Or will we run from the inescapable Storm, which is God, drenched not in rain, not in the blood of Christ, but in the blood of “many” we could have helped? Is our running not an abdication of our faith? Are we watchmen or not? Are we even “followers?”

Don’t allow yourself to be offended. If I offend you, and I am for you, then who are you stumbling over? Is it I or the Word of God I quote, the Shofar I blow for your sake? How will you deal with a world of lawlessness; a truth meant to capture your heart and freeze it? I am telling you to turn up the warmth of God’s love, against that cold cruelty.

Danger has come. Our God, our Deliverer, is bringing a critical message meant to awaken and protect our reconciliation and potential salvation against the threatening times. Loss of salvation by those who think they are friends of Jesus but are not, is certain.  [His words not mine]   John 15: 13-14 NASB

Better we acknowledge Him, embrace the discipline that is Him and glory in His grace toward us! God is revealing more to us by extending the guiding hand of His Spirit. This will empower and enthrone His willing children with the lovingly enduring eternal character of the kingdom, as demonstrated by Christ!

Many are moving away from God, or many have never really moved toward Him, even though they had an initial experience with Jesus and God. This exodus was foretold yes but all still have a choice!

That which was prophetically foretold is being told daily on the news. The time has come. His word says, “few” will get this, yet He faithfully offers it to all. We all thought we understood. What you read in Exit Strategy and these posts will likely say otherwise as it did for me. The blessing is that now we CAN get it and have a knowing in our soul that cannot be shaken!

“Remember, even when the prophet hears it he also hears it, for the first time.”       Michael Daniel Dooze

God’s kindness and grace are being offered to us. Let us not miss the uniqueness of this offering nor its eternal repercussions. A great revival will come from the overturning of a false sense of security by the embracing of a scriptural security released by God in a contemporary  environment where our own desire for security will serve His purposes and love for us.

If we are sons of men and sons of God, we will chose now to fervently practice the eternal disciplines of thinking, speaking and reacting as Jesus the Son of Man did. God’s grace has made it possible for us to totally succeed!

Jesus did not guarantee but gave the possibility of eternal life to us. Knowing our reconciliation would be purchased after His death, He taught eternal disciplines, before His death, that could be practiced on earth by those who were to be His followers, illuminating those practices within the Lord ’s Prayer, to carry us safely into eternity!

This is everyone’s test. It is not “can we?” It is “will we?” He has made it possible and by His enduring love has shown us, as a Son of Man, that we can be as generous with grace as He was. Will we be? That is our defining eternal life question! Will there be a revolution of real love across the earth initiated by Him in us?

It is not can we but will we embrace, His Exit Strategy! 

In doing so, WE initiate the return of Christ!  

This post, is an elaboration on the introduction  from “Exit  Strategy, we initiate the return of  Christ.”                                    

“If we remain in His grip, how far from His heart can we be!”

In the guardianship of Christ,
