The Crack of Dawn

Genesis 32:29-31
Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.”

And He said, “Why is it that you ask about My name?” And He blessed him there.
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” Just as he crossed over Penuel the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip.

Just to note, Jacob was in the struggle of his life. He got into a wrestling match with something that he couldn't quite understand. The Angel of the Lord had came to him right before dawn with a new name for Jacob.

Now, your name is Israel for you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed. But, just to know about God's superiority, He left Israel with a limp in his walk. But, one thing that is certain, Jacob struggled.

All things that you struggle against has a significance. Jacob sought out the Angel's significance. He asked for the name. Just gimme Your name please. But, the Angel wasn't even budging. In other words, He expressed who He was. Simply, He touched Jacob's hip and he now had a limp. He walked different.

Here's a revelation:

Whatever you're struggling with, recognize it. There's something about the setting of your struggle. It's about to stop because of the crack of dawn.

A sign that God always shows me in the sky is how the sun breaks forth and shines regardless of the weather. The sun's penetration through the clouds is very much vivid. After the storm, you can see the sun's rays penetrating through the gray clouds. God's luminaries do exactly what He commands.

Furthermore, God's light shines even in the dark places. Take a glimpse on the horizon, there's the crack of dawn. You don't have to be afraid of your current situation, the sun's about to shine. God's light will shine when all else fades.

At the crack of dawn, your revelation comes. You may have your limp, but His light is your joy and you've been drawn closer to His light when you've gotten through your current situation. This isn't just a message of hope, its a message of rejoicing and confirmation.

"Rejoice not against me O my enemy; when I fall, I shall arise and when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light unto me!"

THIS Earth and THAT Earth

2 Peter 3:5-9

For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.


"Where is your God? Where is He? I'm not believing that. That's ridiculous and dumb to believe in something you can't see. I don't see any point in 'wasting' your life being 'good' and missing out on all the 'fun'. I don't know about you, but I'm gonna run around and do whatever I want. I don't believe it so it won't bother me. You said your 'God' was supposed to be coming back and it's been 2000 years now. Where is He?"
                                                                                                       -Says the world.

But, beware.
It  was the exact same mentality six chapters into Genesis. "Noah, you're so retarded! Flood? What is that? Water covering the earth? Makes absolutely no sense. Noah, you're a fool!"

So, everyone just did what pleased them. All went about their own business... just living as usual.

God knows the exact day and hour of His coming. But, times are not for us to know. God has everything going according to plan. Do not be deceived, He's not late, He knows.

But, the greatest blessing a believer can give to this world is to look up. Each and every day, look up to the sky!

The earth before the flood is gone. That was THAT earth.
Now, THIS earth is reserved for flaming fire. Be cautious!

It's soon. But, the more the believer looks up to the sky, the better it is that God's plan comes to pass. It is not His will that anyone should perish. THIS lost and dying world can be saved, that is, the people. But, this earth is going to be utterly shaken by the hand of God.

Behold, He is coming like a thief in the night. He's gonna make no greeting. He's gonna break in when you least expect it because a thief is smart. Doesn't mean that God is a thief, but His coming is LIKE a thief in the night. When everyone's sleeping, He's gonna break in without permission and take what He believes is rightfully His. But, He will not make an escape though. He will wake up the sleepers and destroy them and their house; THIS earth.

God has really been taking so much time to raise the awareness of THIS world. Destruction is coming quickly. Although God has great wrath, the greatest most overtaking trait of God is LOVE.

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

He IS the God that is willing for you to make an escape from His great wrath.

Why wait?
