We Need Writers, Speakers, Teachers, Trainers, Leaders, and Soldiers Willing to Serve on the Front Lines of God’s Kingdom

Band of Brothers / Band of Sisters

Here at Heavenly Special Operations a group of intelligent officers recently compiled random transcripts of previous reports which we believe may point to future activities along the enemy’s lines.

We believe these reports to be accurate and authentic.

Plans are underway for a special mission with the goal of rescuing all who may still remain behind enemy lines. To this purpose, S. O. seeks young men and women who are willing to risk their lives and reputation in order to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, and befriend those in prison.

To this end we call groups of 12 to serve others before themselves, speak for those who have been silenced, and proclaim the good news that in Christ all can be set free from sin.

We need writers, speakers, teachers, trainers, leaders, and encouragers willing to serve on the front lines of God’s Kingdom.

Below are Top Secret reports and an analysis how these events might unfold in the coming months.

There before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest (Revelation 6:2).

“Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” — Jesus (Matthew 24:7)

No one knows with certainty when nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom (Matthew 24:36). But we are called to observe our times and prepare (Luke 12:56, Mark 13:28-29). Within the past twenty-four months, feelings of division have increased significantly throughout the world. This trend may only accelerate and lead to increased global conflict.

Another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword (Revelation 6:4).

“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other. Nany false prophets (preachers & teachers) will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,” — Jesus (Matthew 24:9-12)

China, North Korea, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Cameroon, Central African Republic, India, Mali, South Sudan, and Ethiopia have all experienced an increase in violence against those who follow Jesus. In the U.S. FBI data shows an unprecedented spike in murders. Gang violence increased in 2021.

I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!” (Revelation 6:6)

There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these (3 things) are the beginning of birth pains..” — Jesus (Matthew 24:7)

In 2021 957 million people across 93 countries did not have enough to eat. Experts agree that we may be on the verge of a world wide food shortage.  

“This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations. Then the end will come. — Jesus (Matthew 24:14)

A pale horse whose rider was named Death and Hades were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth (Revelation 6:7-8).

In many ways, it’s easier to share the Gospel now than ever. Apps, ebooks, the Internet, all make God’s Word available to those living in free societies. Those in dark countries (China, North Korea . . . see the list of Christian-persecuting nations above), prohibit the spread of the Gospel. Even in those countries, though, Christians continue to share their faith. The Gospel will be preached to all nations as a testimony. A few will believe and accept Christ as their savior. After this global testimony of the Gospel we can expect wars of an unprecedented nature, famine, world wide starvation, and wild, savage animals. This last trend, an increase in attacks on humans by wild, savage animals will be in response to a substantial decrease in food sources for the animal kingdom.  

Those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” They were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow brothers and sisters and servants were killed just as they had been. (Revelation 6:9-11)

“Then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days were not cut short, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.” — Jesus (Matthew 24:21-22)

Those serving on the front lines of God’s Kingdom can expect persecution and death. If you are in Christ, accept that you are already dead in your old self and now alive in him. 

We seek recruits willing to give their lives to Christ in order to serve him and serve their neighbor.

Mom … My Biggest Fan and Best Salesperson

Happy Mother's Day, ya'll

Momma_NellOne thing about Mom, you always knew what she was thinking—whether you wanted to know or not. You also knew you were loved.

A few years ago Mom was on her way to the hairdresser when another driver ran a stop sign and smashed into her Buick. Mom got out, inspected the damage, and exchanged insurance information with the other driver. While waiting for the police to arrive, Mom popped the trunk and motioned the other woman to the trunk.

“My son’s a writer,” Mom announced, “and I’ve got some of his books. Do you want a copy?” I wasn’t at the crash site, but knowing Mom, I imagine the inflection in her voice was more like: “You do want a copy of my son’s book, right?” I’m almost certain of this because the woman bought one copy of my pirate novel. I bet the woman doesn’t even have kids.

But that was Mom–always hawking my books and asking me how my writing was going. She worried constantly I wouldn’t make enough as a writer to support my family. I kept telling her our daily provision is God’s business; mine was to be obedient and write stories that reflect His truths.

In 2012 I lost my biggest fan and best salesperson.

The last thing Mom told me was, “I’m not as young as I used to be, Son. You need to come see me once in a while.”

I will, Mom. One of these days we’ll be together, again.

If you’re blessed enough to still have your mom around, give her a hug and whisper, “Love you, Mom.” Trust me, it’s the best and cheapest gift there is.

Love you, Mom.

Did Jesus Really Say He Would Rise from the Grave?

Yes ... yes he did

Did Jesus Really Say He Would Be Raised from the Grave?Did Jesus really say he would rise from the grave three days after his death?

Yes … yes he did.

Multiple times, in fact.

“As Jonah was in the stomach of the sea creature for three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.” ~ Matthew 12:40.

“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’”~ Matthew 27:63

Jesus said, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life. ~ Luke 9:22, Matthew 16:21, Mark 8:31

Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. He will be delivered over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; they will flog him and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.” ~ Luke 18:31-33

And still on the morning when the women went to anoint his body neither they, his disciples, or apparently any of his followers believed his words. How many times must God and Jesus say a thing before you will believe?

Did God Really Turn a Man Into a Werewolf?

Yes ... yes he did

Did God Really Turn a Man Into a Werewolf?Did God really turn a man into a werewolf?

Yes … yes he did.

Sort of.

Here is what happened: “All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar. As the king was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, he said, ‘Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?’ Even as the words were on his lips, a voice came from heaven, ‘This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar.’ Immediately his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird. Let him live with the animals of the earth. Let his mind be changed from that of a man and let him be given the mind of an animal.” Daniel 4: 15-16, 28-31

So yes, God turned a man into a beast (though not necessarily a werewolf). And if God did it once he could do it again.

Did God Really Say We Could Know More About Creation and What Came Before?

Yes ... yes he did.

Did God Really Say We Could More About Creation and What Came Before?Did God really say we could know more about Creation and what came before the earth was formed if we simply ask?

Yes … yes he did.

What he said, was this: “Ask now about the former days long before your time, from the day God created Man on the earth. ask from one end of the heavens to the other.” Deuteronomy 4:32

Not sure how God created the heavens and the earth, the sea and sky, male and female, ask. God loves to share His knowledge if we come with an expectant heart and do not doubt. Just ask.

Did God Really Say Jesus Is Coming Back?

Yes ... yes he did.

Did God Really Say Jesus Is Coming Back?Did God really say Jesus is coming back?

Yes … yes he did.

What he said, was, “Men, why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” Acts 1:11

Jesus said, “You will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven.” Matthew 26:64

In John’s revelation from Christ he wrote, “Look, he is coming with the clouds every eye will see him, even those who pierced him. And all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” Revelation 1:7

So, yes, Christ will return. And when he does, he will bring and end to all things and usher in his kingdom. Believe it, don’t believe it, it’s up to you.
