The Spiritual Journey 2024 - Day 18: We must lay aside the weight and the sin if we are to endure.

”Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.“

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

When I change the calendar over at the beginning of each new month, the Lord gives me a scripture and/or some direction in terms of what the month will hold. The thing is, when December was over, I went four or five days into January without changing over to the new month. It was as if there was some resistance on the inside of me, some dread in terms of January 2024, but I didn’t know exactly what it was.

When I finally did turn the calendar over, the Lord spoke to me to write, “The Lord sees and knows and will disclose.” As well, I wrote, “What was hidden is seen,” and at the top of the calendar I wrote the word the Lord had given us for 2024: “Resolve.” I was also led to write the word, “pivot” on January 25. I did not know that this was the day of the Jewish New Year for Trees.

Now, the reason that holiday is significant, is that the Lord had spoken to my sons about that indicating the season Ararat Church was entering in 2024: a season of harvest, and of eating the fruit.

When I wrote “pivot” on the 25th day of the January calendar, I had no way of knowing what the 10 days preceding January 25 would hold.

As you know, the spiritual journey experience happened during an extreme illness my husband and I had starting the week before the week of the 25th. Amazingly, it was on the 25th that I would experience the last destination in the spiritual journey. The day of “pivot” would certainly be just that.

Yesterday I shared with you about the movement sometimes referenced as “Kingdom Now.” And, as I have said, I had close relatives who were very influential in that movement. However, I never embraced that theology. I have always continued to look for the coming of Jesus Christ. I have always continued to know that the answer to the ills of the world are in the rule and reign of Christ. And, the Lord had shown me several years ago that the message I was born to give is: Jesus is coming! Get ready for Him!

This fourth destination would put me face to face with the spirit behind the Kingdom Now movement, or any other persuasion, minimizing or denying the actual return and rule of Christ.

This destination would be different. I was no longer just an observer.

The scenario started off with me preparing a meal for some of my family members on my father’s side. Suddenly—to my surprise—some relatives from the other side of my family showed up. One was dressed in “Vatican” level regalia. With this person was someone I also know, although in this scenario, they looked nothing like they have ever looked before. But, I knew who they were even though they appeared to be dressed as a satanic priest. Their head, face and neck, were completely covered in tattoos.

At first I thought that this whole presentation was some kind of a bad joke, but I came to realize it was anything but a joke.

Behind the person dressed in Vatican regalia was a big, “beautiful” coffin, floating at this person’s shoulder level. It seemed that all of the orders were coming out of this coffin, and being carried out by the satanic priest. At one point the satanic priest lifted me up in the air even with the level of the coffin. I began to say out loud, “Why isn’t anyone helping me?”

This was some kind of ceremony in which I was suddenly and forcibly being involved. But, all of a sudden, the Holy Spirit rose up in me. I began to say, “I am the Heavenly Priesthood!”

[As an aside here, I will remind you that Armenia was the first Christian nation. As well, my father‘s family was saved from the Armenian genocide through their coming to the United States because of a prophetic warning from a boy prophet.

Many years ago, the Lord began to speak to me about the Armenian people saying that the Armenian people were the “Heavenly Priesthood.” I had no way of knowing that this was spoken to the early leaders of the Christian Armenians. What that title means is that the Armenian people were meant to be a prophetic voice in the earth, particularly in terms of the Last Days before the coming of Jesus Christ. Indeed, my paternal grandfather was a mighty prophet of God.]

I continued saying. “I am the Heavenly Priesthood,” repeatedly. As well, I began to speak to the Vatican figure and satanic priest saying, “I am not a part of you! I have no part in you.!” I kept repeating this over and over again, finally saying, “You are not from the Lord, I have no part with you.” At that point, these two people huffed out and were gone.

I will leave that where it is for today. What I want you to understand from this part of my spiritual journey is that although you may start off acquiring a general knowledge of God and His ways, a general understanding of what the Lord wants, what the Lord requires from those who are His, at some point or another, the Lord will “zero in” on what is in you that is keeping you, or could keep you, from fulfilling your calling.

As I have said, I had no idea that this that had been amongst family members could affect, or was in any way affecting me. But, as the Lord had me write on the January calendar, “The Lord sees and knows and will disclose.” Apparently, I had to be brought to the place of seeing this that was in my family, exactly as it is. I had to renounce it and completely divorce myself from any part of it, while, at the same time, embracing my calling.

Our opening scripture speaks of laying aside the weight and sin that so easily ensnares (traps) us. God brought me through the spiritual journey to this place of renunciation of this terrible heresy. And, although the experience was not something I ever would have signed up for, I am so grateful to God that He brought me through it, saved my life yet once more, and has given me such a vital message for the Church as we navigate these Last Days before the coming of Jesus Christ.

I will have more to say about the final destination of the spiritual journey; but this must suffice for today.

Peace to you.

Jesus is coming! Get ready for Him!
