"The Bridge of San Luis Rey" has to happen!



Many years ago in college I was required to read the book, The Bridge of San Luis Rey. The story was set in the high mountains of Peru near a small village. It opens with the news in the village that 5 people
attempted to cross a chasm connected only by a woven rope bridge. The bridge had been there a long time and was in need of repair. The 5 people who ventured to cross that day all fell to their death as the bridge gave way beneath them. The book continues to tell the history of the lives of those 5 people to show the reader how those lives were all connected and how they just happened to be on that bridge at the same time.

HUMAN NATURE REPENTS IN FACE OF TRAGEDY


This article isn't about those lives but rather one interesting statement that impacted me and stayed with me my whole life. The author showed that immediately after the tragedy the people in the nearby village went around returning all the items that they had stolen from each other. As I grew in my own walk with the Lord, I always remembered what happened in San Luis Rey and pondered it many times through the years. I came to realize that when tragedy happens human kind has a tendency towards greater acts of kindness to one another and a greater reverence for the laws of God. Back during the time in which the story was set, a tragedy of that nature or scope was horrendous and no doubt looked upon as an act of God hence the return of stolen goods. The tragedy clearly brought forth repentance and the reverential fear of God. They showed by their behavior that they knew that what they had done was displeasing to God.


God's history with man the same


All throughout history as is stated in the Bible, God was long suffering with the immoral sins of Israel.
But God, in his love, eventually had to let Israel fall into calamities, disasters, and captivity by her enemies. Sin is a turning away from God and left unchecked man would not only destroy himself and the earth but he would enter hell upon his death. After many years of living under their burdens in captivity, Israel would go to their knees fasting and praying and calling out to their God in repentance. God would respond with his restoration and blessings upon them again. God is a God of order and magnanimous love to man whom he created. He is the creator and he certainly knows the climate in which his creation was made to flourish. All of creation actually groans under the weight of sin (Romans 8: 22). God always gives man the free will to choose. If man refuses long enough, God removes himself somewhat to let man know what is at the end of his road. God's laws are not for just having a set of do's and don'ts. They are set in place as the way to have peace, joy, prosperity and eternal life at the end of human life (Deuteronomy11:26).


God shows his love through warnings


God gave America a great warning with the destruction of the Twin Towers in New York. It is so like God to have given his people a warning on a date that correlated with our own number system for emergency. In the aftermath of the 911-attack on America the same thing seem to occur as did in a village in Peru. Patriotism for our nation was higher and people were more optimistic over seeing our nation turning more towards the reverential fear of God again. But it was short lived. It was clear that the repentance wasn't there. It was not complete. It was more a brand of patriotism that was based on an "I" syndrome and how "we" will recover to do "business as usual" (as in the days of Noah) than a return to the tenets of the God who created us and upon which our nation was founded. It was as if huge machinery was in motion. It had been dealt a blow that only momentarily slowed it's progress and then kept pushing forward towards a cliff of destruction. When people go their way long enough without God, their minds and hearts are calloused or seared. It’s like trying to crack open a locked safe that is impenetrable. Something has to break away that outer shell to get to the treasure that is inside.


God alone has the perfect storm


There are more people out there in this world that are having dreams and visions of what is to come than any one person can name. I have received words through the Word of God for the judgment to befall America and the World. I have listened to the dreams and visions of many and sensed a witness within my spirit to the truth of many of them. I don't go around looking for them but they do seem to find me in the doing of my own work. The calamities that are to come must be of a height and depth as such as will bring true and complete repentance to mankind. Our nation, America, will be the first. We are supposed to know better than any other nation just like the Church. We are the ones who are supposed to be living the gospel to send to other nations and we are not. God must wake up his Bride and cleanse her garments for her to be able to be found worthy to escape (Luke 21:36). Those Christians not found worthy or those who are called to stay will have to go through the Great Tribulation.


What calamities are coming?


There is not a need to state this disaster or that. It is enough to know that the Lord is perfect. The Lord will choose what and when. The Lord knows how heavy and how far the calamities need to go to get the attention of an entire nation. The Twin Towers did nearly nothing to a nation needing to repent. If Jesus were to come back right now only one percent of Christians would be taken. Many people will panic and rioting and looting will take place. Murder is certainly on this list for those who are scared out of their wits as to how they may survive. I pray this is not the case and that people will turn towards helping each other but human nature is not always kind in these things. 





The biggest calamity of all

Our own government has been at the helm of this one. The depth and breadth of this is too much to enter into here. Our previous administration and many before it have been planning a moment like this for many years. The Church slips away from who she should be before God and God gives that nation over to captors. These captors are anti-Christ in every sense of the word. Our Constitution is gone. America's freedoms are gone.  The plan of the previous administration..which is still at work as a shadow government is to stamp out any trace of Christianity and those persons who dissent what this shadow government is doing. Bridal Christianity and the sovereignty of our nation must be brought down and stamped out for the New World Order to take place. I do not know if the Islamic faction will be a full part of our woes during this time. Some of the Shariah law activities have already happened here in this country and numerous cities already taken over. My hope is that most of that is reserved for the Tribulation as the Word does speak about the beheadings and torture for those who are in Christ at that time.


Read the BOOK to see who wins


Make no mistake about it that the full intent of the dark forces working through our previous government has nothing to do with any agenda that might be thought of by any man. The force behind ALL of the evil things being done is by Satan and his followers. ALL of these things are about the battle between Jesus and Satan. Satan wants to take as many people to hell as possible. Men have agendas that are earthly and linked to the originator of the sin of pride, Satan. Satan and his demons merely use people to get their dirty work done. People don't realize that Satan is luring them away from Christ towards himself as he uses them and then sends them to hell upon their death.                                                                                                            
 

Jesus has said that he would not allow any temptation to come to those who are his that they cannot overcome (1 Corinthians 10:13). But those in Christ must be thoroughly in Christ, steeped in Christ, immersed in Christ, close like glue on paper in Christ, breathing Christ, full of his peace and rest, knowing him unto Christ being able to say he KNOWS YOU in return. Most Christians do not fit this list at all. The Word says so. Let this be a plea to search for Christ in a deeper way that ever before that you may be able to realize or say that you breathe his name, praise his person without ceasing, always searching for his voice to you that is full of direction, wisdom, marching orders, basking in his love and the wonder of him without ceasing. TO BE CONSUMED WITH HIM ALWAYS!


The Bridge of San Luis Rey again?


The people in that small village in Peru heard about 5 people falling to their death and it broke into their spirits to repent of all the sins they had been committing every day. It was a way of life for them and in an instant they repented before God. The word repent means to turn 180 in the other direction. They did! But this time the stakes are at the highest that they have ever been in the history of the World. We don't just have a small village this time. We have the same scenario on a massive world-wide scale. The world and mankind is moving towards an abyss like that enormous machine I mentioned before and those who say they belong to Christ are being swept up with it. Because of the expanse and depth of the sin and the battles over the souls of men, the height and depth of judgement must fit. It will take more than 5 people falling off a cliff to turn the hearts of people back to God. Even 3,000 people on 911 didn't get it done. Because of the height and breadth of sin and it's growing intensity, we are nearing the end of the World as well.

God's love sends judgment

Just as God always sent judgment to Israel or any other peoples in history he keeps true to his person to send it to us now. He doesn't change (Hebrews 13:8). We need to remember that Jesus sends judgment because of his profound love for man. If he didn't, No one would survive (Matthew 24:22). The sin-cycle and deception must be broken and it is deep and heavy. The whole purpose of what is coming is for God to bring those who love him or could love him back to himself. He will pour out his Spirit in a way that also fits the height and depth and breadth of sin and judgment. After he has brought back those who are his
..we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever (Thessalonians 4:17).


And then will begin the Great Tribulation! It would be wise to choose Jesus Christ right now than wait until that day. The judgment coming now will be a picnic compared to the Tribulation. For those who say they know Christ, does he know you in return? Five virgins were turned away. For those who do not know Jesus..really know Jesus.. now would be the best time to ask him to forgive you for your sins and to be the Lord and master over your life.


THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY MUST HAPPEN!


There was a need to amend this article written some time ago. The words PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION have been added. The current president has truly been anointed to come in and stir up a hornet's nest of filth that has been brewing for decades upon decades. The condition our nation is in has nothing to do with politics. The perpetrators are on both sides of the isle. It is actually world wide in scope and depth with atrocities too gruesome to mention even in private conversation. The news media and Hollywood and other world leaders are part of it. The core of our woes is SIN and especially the sins of God's people. Many people will be inflamed by this but it will not change the truth. It will all be exposed and has begun so far. We must care about the salvation of souls through the calamities that are coming upon us. PRAY PRAY PRAY for the protection of our president and his family. PRAY for the removal of all that is wicked in government by whomever. PRAY for GOD'S MERCY UPON OUR NATION AND THE WORLD.

  1. Thank you so much Terry! You are a precious soul.please know that God has certainly used you and Cheryl both to help me to learn and grow to become more "worthy of escape" as well. All Christians need each to love and walk that "highway of holiness ". I feel so privileged to have been a part of anyone else's walk.
