Asking God in a Proper Manner Brings Power

You may think you’re asking God in prayer simply because you use the word “ask.” I used to believe the same—until I realized I wasn’t truly asking. I was announcing. Saying, “God, I am asking You to heal William,” is a statement, not a question. There’s no humility in a declaration. It’s a proclamation of what I want, not a request for what He wills.

Instead, I should have prayed, “God, would you please heal William? Would you touch him and comfort him? Would you make him whole?” These are questions—humble, heartfelt, and open to God’s response. As I wrote them, I felt my heart soften. Asking invites intimacy. It acknowledges God’s sovereignty and our dependence.

God already knows our needs. He doesn’t require updates or explanations. What He desires is humility—a posture of the heart that seeks Him sincerely. “He is near to the humble,” Scripture reminds us. Asking cultivates that humility. It aligns our hearts with His, drawing us into deeper communion.

Moreover, God delights in being asked. He welcomes the boldness of faith-filled questions. He relishes opportunities to show His love and power. Asking demonstrates trust—it reflects the same faith that flows from His own heart. He tests and proves us, not to shame us, but to transform us. He invites us to challenge Him with His own promises: “Prove me now herewith… if I will not open you the windows of heaven…” (Mal. 3:10). He rises to the occasion, not for our glory, but for the sake of His name.

Asking God questions—when done with reverence—places the outcome in His hands. It’s not manipulation; it’s surrender. He has bound Himself to His word: “Ask, and it shall be given.” “Pray for the sick, and they shall recover.” These are not empty phrases. They are divine assurances. But they begin with a humble spirit that dares to ask: “Father, would you please heal him?”

This kind of prayer doesn’t just seek results—it seeks relationship. It tunes our hearts to His rhythm. It opens us to His will, His timing, and His grace. And it builds faith. As Mark 11:24 declares, “Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

Faith is the key. Not faith in our words, but faith in His goodness. So let us move from announcements to true asking. Let our prayers be shaped by humility, softened by surrender, and strengthened by faith. God is listening—not to our demands, but to our hearts. And when we ask truly, He answers.     Wayne Hancock

How Trials Become Opportunities for Profound Spiritual Growth

A growth toward becoming like Christ

God’s greatest blessings often come wrapped in the paradox of divine distress—those unique circumstances that, though deeply challenging, become the very ground where agape-love is cultivated within us. These trials and tribulations are in fact opportunities of profound spiritual growth. They provide us with the inescapable chance to love our enemies, to rise above instinct and pride, and to embody a love that is not of this world but of God Himself.

The process by which agape-love is birthed within us is what the Scriptures term “SonPlacing”—the divine intention and plan that God has for every believer. This love, however, is not kindled amid laughter, comfort, or abundance. Like all births, it comes forth from travail, pain, and endurance. The apostle Paul, in his famous discourse on love in 1 Corinthians 13, describes this love as enduring and patient. He writes that love “does not seek after the things which are its own, is not irritated, provoked, exasperated, aroused to anger, does not take into account the evil which it suffers” (1 Corinthians 13:5, Wuest). This passage paints a picture of love that is not reactive, but proactive—a love that transcends circumstances and personal offense.

At the heart of agape-love is forgiveness. The maturation of this divine love is triggered by the experience of being sinned against. If you desire to possess this love, the only appropriate response to hurt or injustice is forgiveness, no matter the situation or depth of the wound.

In Scripture, the words translated as “forgive” and “forgiveness” come from four distinct Greek terms, each rich with meaning. Collectively, they convey the ideas of “sending forth,” “sending away,” “bestowing favor unconditionally,” and “releasing.” Forgiveness, in this sense, is not merely letting go of a grudge or forgetting an offense. It is an absolute annulment of transgression and its consequences, akin to a debt that is not just paid but completely canceled and erased from all records.

Letting Go

This radical form of forgiveness requires that both the failure and any thoughts of retaliation are forever released, as if thrown into a supernal incinerator—never to be retrieved or remembered. Forgiveness, then, is not just about letting go of what was done to us, but also about creating a new reality, one in which the offense is as though it never occurred.

As the psalmist writes, “Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.” This is the heart of forgiveness: an act so complete and transformative that it rewrites the narrative of our souls.

A Liberating Experience

Forgiveness, fundamentally, is not a human invention but a divine act. It originates in the heart of God and is extended to us through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. When we accept this sacrifice, we experience an unconditional release from the penalties our fallen, carnal nature has accrued. The apostle Paul reminds us, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Yet God’s forgiveness is not merely a legal pardon—it is a personal, liberating experience that the church has long called “Salvation.” As we turn our lives toward God, our infractions are erased, and we become spiritually washed, free, and invigorated with new life and energy.

This forgiveness is, at its core, the ultimate gift of love. When we receive forgiveness from God, the seed of divine love—agape—is sown into our hearts. Jesus illustrated this truth in his parable when he asked, “Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?” Simon answered, “I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most.” To receive great forgiveness is to be moved to great love. This initial blossoming of love is what Scripture calls phileo-love—a joyful, grateful affection that springs from having received something wonderful and undeserved. It is, however, only the embryonic stage of agape-love, which is deeper, more self-giving, and unconditional.

Jesus further clarifies this process: “Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.” This passage reveals that the depth of our capacity for love is directly linked to our experience of forgiveness. Forgiveness received from God for the “good” in our lives produces phileo-love, an affectionate and responsive love. But the journey does not end there. To mature into agape-love, we must extend forgiveness from ourselves, especially in response to the “evil” or wrongdoing we endure from others.

To Love as God Loves

This is the critical transition point in the development of divine love within us. To love as God loves, we must move from being recipients of forgiveness to being dispensers of it. It is not enough to bask in the joy of being forgiven; we must also become agents of forgiveness. This is perhaps the greatest challenge and highest calling of the Christian life. It demands that we forgive those who have hurt us deeply, those who have betrayed or wronged us, just as God has forgiven us. In doing so, we participate in the life of God Himself, becoming channels through which His agape-love flows into the world.

Practically speaking, this transformative process often unfolds in the midst of our greatest struggles and heartaches. The “battlefields” of life—those moments of conflict, disappointment, and loss—are not merely obstacles to be overcome but are opportunities for the birth of something holy within us. When we choose to forgive, to let go of resentment and to release both the offense and the offender into God’s hands, we are shaped into the likeness of Christ.

Our capacity for agape-love expands, and we come to embody the very love that once saved us. In summary, the journey toward agape-love is a path marked by both receiving and giving forgiveness. It is a process initiated by God’s mercy and sustained by our willingness to forgive others as we have been forgiven.

Each circumstance of divine distress becomes a sacred invitation to practice this love, to transcend our natural inclinations, and to participate in the very heart of God. Ultimately, it is through forgiveness—the letting go, the creation of a new reality, and the refusal to keep score—that agape-love is born, matures, and overflows from our lives, blessing not only ourselves but all those around us.

Loving Your Wife Like Christ Loves Us (Conversations with the Seer)

(Formerly in Israel, if a man went to inquire of God, he would say, “Come, let us go to the Seer,” because the prophet of today used to be called a Seer. I Samuel 9:9)

My wife Linda and I were twenty-six. Two years prior, we had sold all that we had and had donated it to a little ministry in the piney woods of East Texas. We now were in northern Mexico being visited by the Seer, the one that sent us here.

My wife and I were having problems I was learning that we men do not naturally have it in us to love our wives properly. We are to love them the same way that Christ loves us, His church. But it takes a supernatural, spiritual connection to Christ, that will enable us to love our wives like that. “Without Him we can do nothing.”

This was the theme of a conversation I had with the Seer. His wisdom and knowledge really helped me. It hurt at first, but joy came with the morning light:

“I get this feeling that she just really doesn’t love me,” I said, head hanging down slightly.

“What makes you say that?” the Seer asked, looking right through me.

“She is like a bobcat, beautiful at first glance but then, when things don’t go her way, she erupts.”

“Is she faithful to you?” the Seer asked.

“Yes.”

“Does she do things for you like clean the house, take care of the children, wash your clothes?”

“Yes, she does, but I am not sure that she is doing it for me.”

“Have you considered that she is doing all those chores without modern appliances? And she keeps house despite the dust and dirt of our current missionary efforts here in the Sierra Madre mountains?”    

“She does all that. She’s very industrious. She is working all the time” I said. Wait a minute. I was building a pretty good case for her through this line of questioning.

The Seer said, “You should be grateful. Many men have lazy wives and would love to have a wife like that. The opposite is true: Many women have lazy husbands and would love to have a husband that works hard. What do you expect from her?”

“As busy as she is, I still feel like I’m #5 on her list.”

“And you want to be number one?

“I want her to look up to me and respect me, especially now that I’ve found the truth and am endeavoring to walk in it.”

“So, she does not sit at your feet gazing longingly into your eyes?”

His tone was not sarcastic; it was piercing. “I am not exactly expecting that. But she is so independent. She doesn’t seek my advice or counsel. She has her own agenda and platform of action,” I said.

The Seer looked at me and smiled. “Don’t you see that she is a direct reflection of how you have been toward Christ? She is inadvertently doing to you the same thing that you are doing toward God.”

“I don’t get it.”

“Listen. You have acted independently, doing things with no regard as to what God’s thoughts would be concerning a matter. Even in your first endeavors to serve God, you strike out on what you think would please Him, but you speak and do whatever pops into your mind.”

“I know. But I’m trying,” I said.

“Did you ever think that your wife just may be trying, too? In her own way. Maybe doing the household chores is the only way she knows how to show her love. Let me ask you a question. How has God treated you lately even though you have not been dependent upon his true direction for your life?

The cold heat of pride began to exude through every pore of my torso. I know my face was red, and my cheeks were beginning to twitch in the steam. “Well, He has been patient with me.” The temperature began to lower a bit.

“Yes, patience is part of His divine nature. And we are to add patience to our faith. Patience is endurance. When we endure the spiritual growing pains in each other, then His Spirit is manifesting Himself in us. Now you are to add patience, and God is using her to show you that you need to add it. For with great mercy and patience he has loved, and, yes, endured your meanderings.  And now He is requiring you to show forth the same degree of patience with her as He has had with you. ”

“That is great, but I can’t do it. I have tried.”

“Of course, you can’t do it. That is the whole point. It will have to be “Christ in you” doing it. That is the great lesson that wives teach husbands, and very few husbands are spiritually attuned to be able to receive it. Husbands get frustrated and throw up their hands, and say, I just can’t live with this woman.”

“I have felt that way, I have to confess,” I said smiling.

The Seer paused. “The revelation is this: you don’t have it in your old nature to love her as you should. It is only the Spirit of God in you that will bring forth the patience and the love to really meet her need. For a wife’s heart is crying out to be loved the way Christ loved all of us. They can tell. That is true love, the melting kind of love that softens the heart.”

“She would love to hear this.”

“She would rather hear your words, born of patience and mercy. And it will come to pass. But it won’t be overnight. Not until “Christ be formed in you.” Not till your thoughts to God and to her are pure. When she feels the purity of your intent, then she will look inside her own heart and see a bit of the vacuum created by not trusting you now in your regenerated state. She will then come to you and long to be close to you, and she will realize that you are her life. All those other things that she had put before you–they will fall away in importance and will be seen a bit trivial when compared to the great love you share.”

Another seeker came to ask questions of the Seer. So, I got up and thanked him and left, thanking God for a revelation that would not really come for another twenty years.   Kenneth Wayne Hancock

Christ Is Not Sent to Everyone

I know. I know. That statement may upset some people. But let’s go by every word of God. For we all have said it: “We go by every word.”

The Spirit of Christ through the prophet Isaiah said this: “The LORD [Yahweh] has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,” and free those who are bound (Isa. 61:1).

Christ limits whom He is sent to, and to whom He will be sent to. He is sent to the “meek” and “brokenhearted.” If a person is not in a meek and brokenhearted condition and attitude, then God is not sent to them at that time.

What does “meek” mean, anyway?

“Meek” is translated from the Hebrew word meaning “lowly” (H6035 and H6041 in Strong’s). As in Proverbs 3:34: “…He gives grace unto the lowly.” He favors the meek and lowly. “Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud” (Prov. 16:19). A humble attitude joins you to the meek and lowly of the earth. Their brokenness touches God. He is sent to those. The same word [H6041] appears showing our Savior “lowly and riding upon an ass” (Zec. 9:9). This is a symbol of humility—no grand entrances.

This is why the anointed ones—Christ and his body believers—will reach only the meek, the humble, and the lowly of mind. Christ is not sent to everyone.

How do we walk in humility?

What do You want me to do,” I recently asked Yahweh. At the speed of light this thought answered back: “Tell them who I am.” The words I peck out now are my attempt to obey Him.

It is a bit overwhelming, but I realize that to be a part of this grand calling and election, one must break up the fallow ground of the heart. But how do we do that? We must turn from pride and embrace Him and ask Him to grant us wisdom.

Wisdom is reverential awe of Yahweh (Job 28:28; Psm. 111:10). We must desperately take that knowledge to the prayer closet. Ask Him. Implore Him, not for physical things for yourself, but for the spiritual things—wisdom, knowledge, and heartbreak. And He will show you things, things that “eyes have not seen, nor ears heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him (I Cor. 2:9)

Yahshua is Love Incarnate. He is the Almighty, the Doer of inexplicable exploits! Think about the heavens and earth and the perfection that they display. Then thank Him for changing us from  sin-infected clods of dirt to co-heirs with Christ, who will reign with Him in His Kingdom! These are His thoughts. Have we thought them today? This is “seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.” He loves you, and I love you. Great Yahweh, thank you for your breath within us. Would You answer the meek and lowly among us? Would You answer our longings to be close to you?     kwh

The Unveiling of God’s Sons: Love’s Final Act

God’s final act of love for this world is the unveiling of His children during these latter days. These sons and daughters are not the average church-going Christians. They will know that everything that has ever taken place on earth is prerequisite to this final revealing.

All the apostles spoke of their existence in His plan. The apostle John said that we are the sons (children) of God and that we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is” (I John 3:2). Being like him is not just being saved and going to church. No, He’s promising to do the same things in the earth, the same miracle working power continuing.

John also said that when we receive the Spirit of Christ, God will give us “power to become the sons of God, even to them who believe on his name.” Christ’s Hebrew name is Yahshua. It means Yah is the Savior (John 1:12).

The central theme of Paul’s writings was God revealing His sons to the world. He said that the entire creation “groans and travails in pain waiting for the adoption, waiting for the “manifestation of the sons of God” (Romans 8:19-22). He said that Christ was the first-born son, “the first born among many brothers” (8: 29).

Peter Confirms It

Peter calls the sons of God “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people… the people of God” (I Peter 2 :9). He also says that God has given us promises wherein we are “partakers of the divine nature” (II Pet. 1:4). We now take part in God’s sinless nature, growing up in Him.

Not Many Mighty, Not Many Noble Are Called and Chosen

God has deliberately chosen people who are not powerful. In fact, these future 100-fold sons and daughters of God are taken from a lower state on the earth, so that when God effects great spiritual changes in their lives, and they begin to do the “greater works,” then they will know who is doing it–God and not them. “That no flesh should glory in His presence” (I Cor.1:29).

They are new recruits in Gideon’s army; they are very few; they are without weapons for earthly combat. These future manifested sons will be despised like Goliath despised David, but God has chosen them, and they will surrender to His call. And they will help bring an end to Satan’s government. This is the revelation that the stories from the Old Testament tell us.

The offspring of God, who once were dead in their sins, have now been made alive by his faith in Christ’s resurrection. God, “declaring the end from the beginning,” sees the end product of God’s spiritual life cycle within them and “calls those things that be not [Christ fully in them] as though they were.” (Romans 4:17).

Finally, this divine unveiling is not a distant hope but a present reality unfolding in the hearts of those who believe. The Spirit of Christ empowers His children to walk in the fullness of their identity—not merely as followers, but as manifest sons carrying His likeness and authority. As creation groans in anticipation, the sons of God arise, revealing Yahweh’s glory through lives transformed and miracles continued. This is the culmination of all history: the revelation of a people who reflect Him, move in Him, and fulfill His purpose on earth.   kwh [If this has stirred your heart, tell His people about it by commenting.

The Final Act of the Play, “The Book of Life”

Every war waged on the battlefields of this blood-stained earth, every government’s shady dealings in back rooms with the super-rich, every sober gathering of this world’s elite as they plot out the next step to One World Government, and every humble gathering of God’s people who are concerned with the above–everything has led us to the final act in the performance of The Play that the Creator is staging.

The Final Act of The Play

The final act written by the Author of the Book of Life is soon to be finished.  It stars the Creator Himself as the protagonist, that glorious and righteous Spirit-of-Love clothed in His heavenly spiritual body.  He is known in the English speaking world as Jesus Christ, and in Hebrew His name is Yahshua [meaning “Yah Is Savior” in Hebrew].  The climax of The Play happens during this final act, which is known as the “time of the end” of this present evil world system.

In it we see the prince of darkness as the antagonist, with every advantage, who goes about deceiving the whole world and almost everyone in it.  He is an invisible spirit, “the prince of the power of the air,” who enters into the minds of humans, tempting them to do evil things.  And he has tricked all but a select few into believing him that he is the “Peace-giver” and not Christ–that he is the savior of the world.

The Leader of the One World Government

Satan will dwell fully in the antagonist, who is known by many names in scripture: the Anti-Christ, the Deceiver of the brethren, the devil, the Beast, et al.  He is the counterfeit Christ, come to save the world from itself, for in the final act, wars, famines, earthquakes, tsunamis, asteroid collisions and more shall plague the earth, according to the script of The Play, written in the Book of Life, found in the Bible.

So the whole world will “wonder after” this handsome, cosmopolitan leader of the One World Government, this New World Order.  He will be a sweet talker, with honeyed lips and candied words couched in viral smiles and will schmooze his way into the hearts of the masses.

Many have been his prototype: Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Charlemagne, the many Popes who still hold the old pagan title Pontifice Maximus, Napoleon, Hitler, and now those in our day who call for, or who are sympathetic with the NWO and its One Word Government.

We are living in the end time!  I knew about this some forty years ago, but then it was in the mists of the future, like looking back into the mists of the past.  It was covered up, difficult to get information on.  We called it a conspiracy, but now its actions are done in the open.  They are blatant and audacious, for they believe that because of the apathy of the masses, they will succeed.  It is stunning to see it go that way so rapidly.

The Climax

This is the setting for the climax in which Satan’s government will fall, smashed to pieces by Christ’s “stone kingdom,” the Kingdom (Government) of Heaven.

Christ will bring down this evil worldly empire in a spectacular way.  “Vengeance is mine, saith the LORD, I will repay.”  He will use his hidden army of heavenly projectiles, the asteroids, to smash into the earth, destroying the super-rich’s plans for world domination.  This is God’s secret weapon; you can read all about it in Revelation 8 and 9.

We all know now that civilizations would be ruined by just one asteroid impact.  Movies and documentaries have given us a preview of coming events written in the prophecies.

The Unveiling of God’s Sons and Daughters

These disasters will set the final scene of the final act of  The Play.  It is during these horrible happenings that God brings forth on the earth His royal treasure–His sons and daughters.  These are redeemed from among mortal man.  These at this time will be revealed to the suffering inhabitants of the world as His progeny, His handiwork, the culmination of His patience.  For they are His offspring, the results of His reproductive process–His reproducing Himself!

Unbelievable?  “With God all things are possible.”  “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.”

These will be His rulers in the new government that He will set up literally in the earth in the aftermath of the destruction of the evil world system.  They are the crowning creative act of the Holy One.  They are the epitome of His eternal purpose.  And they will be the key players in the New Play that He will produce and direct in the next age.                                                                           Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Spiritual Life Cycle

It is all about God’s Law of Harvest and us His Manifested Sons.

To grasp God’s purpose of “bringing many sons unto glory,” we need to understand the spiritual life cycle. Christ compared spiritual growth to a seed: it must die and lose its original form, then absorb water (symbolizing the word), before new life emerges and grows toward the light (Matt. 13:18-30)

This process starts with babes in Christ, to little children in him who do not mature. They do not grow up into him. Or he does not grow up in them. These spiritual children are like natural children–mostly alive to see what they can get from their father. These babes in Christ never grow out of asking God for things for themselves. They rarely glimpse the full vision of what their Father has in mind, not only for them, but also for those who mature and finally produce  100-fold fruitbearing.

For there is a responsibility that we all bear. First, “God has commanded all men everywhere to repent” of their evil ways. Those that do, then, are expected to “study to show [themselves] approved unto God,” servants unto the king who can divide the word of God correctly.

Then prayer enters the growth process. True prayer and study of his word is the watering of the little blade of grass. For the little spiritual child of God cannot grow unless it be watered. But, we have that responsibility!

And this is where the problem lies for most professing Christians. Most are not taught the vision of God reproducing himself from the “seed, the word of God.” they are not given the pure water, the pure teachings, the pure spiritual nutrients that promote growth into a manifested son or daughter of God.

The Same Old Food for His Lambs and Sheep

Most Christians dwell in a dry land, trying to feed their souls on the same spiritual food that was fed to the flock hundreds of years ago. And how can we tell if we are in that situation? “When the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13). If you are not being led into more truth in your Christian walk, then you are not being led by the Spirit of truth. Christ’s words are sharp, cutting right to the heart of the matter.

While in Hawaii, visiting my daughters, I visited a Baptist church on a Sunday morning. It was the same denomination I went to as a child in Texas. The message and the Invitational song were identical to what I experienced as a child–right down to those old solemn lyrics sung at the end, “Just as I am without one plea.” It was sad to me. I so wanted to share with them the new spiritual light that Yah was giving to me. But the pastor took no testimonies from his flock. The pastor prevented the Sower from sowing the Seed, the word of God. The Sower is the Spirit of Christ in us.

And so it goes…. The ancient Hebrew prophets faced the same dilemma. They cried, “Woe unto you shepherds who feed the flock of God with lies…” (Ezk. 34:2). This is why true spiritual growth is slow in the body of Christ.

Many will be content to stay a babe in Christ, but others will break out-of-the-box.

Some will feel a higher calling, one that pulls them upward, one that plants a yearning in their hearts to know the truth. These little children of God will be drawn by the Father, nourished by His teachers and prophets, those who will help them leave the old way station for the next stage of growth.

They will begin a deeper walk and thereby become spiritual young men and women of God. No longer “tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine,” they will have “overcome the wicked one” with all Satan’s deceptions and temptations.

They will mature into spiritual adults, capable of guiding others with his spirit.  Like Paul said to Timothy, “I have fathered you in the gospel.”

Understanding the spiritual life cycle is essential for grasping God’s purpose in revealing His sons and daughters during these latter days. This manifestation brings glory to God through His Spirit working within them. Seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness ensures that we are cared for by Him, resulting in joy, peace, and security.      Kenneth Wayne Hancock {Hey, my brothers and sisters.

These little children of God will be drawn by the Father, nourished by His teachers and prophets, those who will help them leave the old way station for the next stage of growth.

They will begin a deeper walk and thereby become spiritual young men and women of God. No longer “tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine,” they will have “overcome the wicked one” with all Satan’s deceptions and temptations.

They will mature into spiritual adults, capable of guiding others with his spirit.  Like Paul said to Timothy, “I have fathered you in the gospel.”

Understanding the spiritual life cycle is essential for grasping God’s purpose in revealing His sons and daughters during these latter days. This manifestation brings glory to God through His Spirit working within them. Seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness ensures that we are cared for by Him, resulting in joy, peace, and security.      Kenneth Wayne Hancock

The Asteroids Are Coming!

Many are asking for God to come back to this earth. They better be careful about what they ask for because He’s coming back with fire and brimstone, “to render his anger with fury and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by his sword will Yahweh plead with all flesh.” All flesh. This is how He will plead with all human beings at the time of the end (Isa. 66:15).

God will use asteroids, projectiles from heaven, to get the earthlings’ attention. As it was, so shall it be. They are coming, no matter what you call them—asteroids, meteorites, huge hot stones from heaven—they are coming, and God wants us to be ready.

You can read about them in these passages: Job 38:22-23; Joshua 10:11; Isa. 30:30; Ezk. 13:11-13; Rev. 8:6-13, Rev. 16:1-12. [After reading them, share your reactions in a comment here.]

The sixth seal is coming soon, perhaps in our lifetime, and it will reveal a great earthquake that will affect everyone on earth. “The sun became black, and the moon became as blood. And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth…” (Rev. 6-12-14).  [The asteroids are coming!] And the rich men cried out to the “mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. (Rev. 6:12-17). They know who is behind their destruction—Christ, the Lamb of God.

The Return of Gideon’s Army–How Asteroids Will Destroy the New World Order

The events recorded by the Hebrew prophets concerning the twelve tribes of ancient Israel were not merely historical accounts. They were written with divine intent—to serve as admonitions for us, their descendants, “upon whom the ends of the world are come” (1 Corinthians 10:11). As the apostle Paul affirmed, “All these things happened unto them for examples,” revealing that these stories are prophetic types and shadows of future realities destined to unfold at the close of this age.

Throughout Scripture, Yahweh often instructed patriarchs and prophets to perform actions that seemed unusual, even counterintuitive. One such moment occurred with Gideon. God gave him precise and peculiar instructions: select 300 men, equip each with a pitcher containing a hidden torch, and surround the Midianite camp in silence.

At Gideon’s signal, each man shattered his pitcher, exposing the torchlight, and simultaneously blew a trumpet. The sudden eruption of light and sound in the dead of night threw the Midianite army into chaos. Confused and terrified, they turned on one another and fled. What seemed strange was, in fact, divinely orchestrated—and utterly effective.

Gideon’s 300 shows the importance of trusting God over oneself. Israel’s history is presented as a precursor to future events, with the 300 torches symbolizing a divinely led assault marked by fire and confusion.

The fires of the 300 torches and the thunderous sound of the 300 trumpets struck fear. I submit that the 300 torches symbolize God’s army of asteroids that He will send to pummel the earth. He said that he held in reserve an army of heavenly projectiles that he will use during the great tribulation. He has held them as his ace in the hole. They will bring the new world order and it’s one world government down into ashes.

It will be a hellish time on earth. It is a “time of trouble.” Yahweh asks us all this question: “Have you seen the treasures of the hail, which I have reserved against the day of battle and war?” (Job 38: 23). God has a plan to use huge rocks from the heavens that will crash down and destroy man’s empires. This vision that peers out into our near future is for us His children to digest. It deserves our attention because the asteroids are coming.

Positive Thinking

The quote said this: “Everything is working in my favor.” They said to recite these words every day. I get it; it’s the power of positive thinking.

But I have tweaked it for the better: “Everything is going God’s way–in us.” As we yield more into His Spirit, His love and peace will direct and guide us to the next starting gate, the opening of the next treasure of spiritual growth.

[Thanks for the likes. May the King Yahshua bless and keep you all. kwh]

It Takes a spirit to Worship the Spirit

“Spirit” is from the Greek word pneuma [# 4151 in Strong’s]. It means “a movement of air…of the wind…” Since God is an invisible Spirit, worship of Him must come out of a spirit nature. It takes a spirit to worship the Spirit.

After all, if we have been truly “born again,” we are spirit. “That which is born of the Spirit is spirit” (John 3: 6-8). If you are born of the Spirit, then you are a spirit and not the earthly body you see in the mirror. Since we are spirit, we merely reside now in an earthen body of flesh. Christ calls those that are born of the Spirit—a spirit. This knowledge helps us worship “in spirit.”

Moreover, He likens us to an invisible wind that blows across the earth. We are free like the wind is free, for we are a spirit born out of the loins of our Father, who is the Spirit of truth. We are like the wind, free to love others, not bound by the physical restraints imposed by worldly tradition peddlers. We are free to love with the soft breezes of compassion and mercy, free as the wind to soothe those who sweat in turmoil, who now writhe in the darkness of this cruel world’s overseer. And there is no law against this wind of love that now inhabits our frail bodies, that now is exhaled through us, His lungs and mouth.

“So is every one that is born of the Spirit.” And because each seed bears its own kind, we as new spiritual creatures in Christ have an “earnest” of His Spirit within, and He now breathes out of our mouths the word of God. That is part of true “worship.” It is submitting our bodies to be used by the Spirit of God within us to utter His words of life to others. It is allowing the Spirit to minister through us. And His word through His children’s mouth “will not return unto [Him] void, but it shall accomplish that which He pleases” (Isa. 55: 11). Kenneth Wayne Hancock
