Jonathan & JillianaA Supernatural Wedding Story + God's Message To A Confused Generation
Jilliana cried out to God saying, "if YOU aren't at our wedding, I don't want to be there either." Her biological father had passed away when she was 13 years old, but this is the story of how her HEAVENLY FATHER walked her down the isle on our wedding day.

This testimony of how God answered Jilliana' tearful prayer, declared what He was going to do through an open vision, and then manifested EXACTLY what He had foretold has marked our lives forever, and the MESSAGE God has for us about HIS RAINBOW and what the sign of His glory and covenant actually means is for such a time as this.
The rainbow is his sign of Covenant and it's the glory of God resting on Covenant. Covenant was designed by God. Two scriptures that solidify just how significant the rainbow is to God and what it really means as a sign of Covenant between God and man. God said to Noah it's in Genesis chapter 9 starting in verse 7. He said to Noah just what he had already said in the past to Adam and Eve, "be fruitful and multiply populate the Earth abundantly and multiply in it that's God's will and his commandment then God spoke to Noah and his sons with him saying now behold I myself do establish my Covenant with you and with your descendants after you and All Flesh shall never again be cut off by the water of the flood neither shall there again be a flood to destroy the Earth. God said this is the sign of the Covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature that is with you for all successive Generations I set my bow the rainbow in the cloud and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between me and the Earth this is the sign of the Covenant which I have established between me and All Flesh that is on the earth so you see how important this symbol of Covenant is to God the other scripture that's so significant about what the rainbow really really symbolizes Ezekiel 1 26-28 Ezekiel says as he looked at the Lord sitting on the throne in this Vision that he was given now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne like lapis lazuli in appearance and on that which resembled a throne high up was a figure with the appearance of a man and there was a Radiance around him as the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord and when I saw it I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking the glory of the Lord manifests like a rainbow this is a symbol of the glory of God resting on his Covenant with man so do you know something I wasn't even very acquainted with those specific scriptures when God did this thing for us and when he showed us this sign of his Blessing and Covenant in his glory resting on our marriage you can't create Covenant outside of God and expect to have the glory of God resting on it that's what the rainbow actually symbolizes it really is no surprise that that's the symbol that the enemy chose to represent the absolute counterfeit of what Covenant is meant to look like the covenants that are made under that false rainbow cannot be fruitful it can only cause damage to the true identity that God has given us as men and women he created Covenant between a man and a woman for the sake of fruitfulness and reflecting the bride of Christ and the perfect groom God sent his son into the world not to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved our hearts in sharing this and bearing witness to the Glorious thing that God did in affirmation not just of our covenant but to remind us once again this sign belongs to him another thing to recognize when God says to Noah be fruitful and multiply and fill the Earth that commandment has a legacy attached to and when we agree with the counterfeit Covenant that the devil presents with that symbol of the rainbow unintentionally or even ignorantly we're cutting off our own legacy it's not even just having kids but the multiplication that I've experienced in Covenant with my wife has been in business it's been an influence and in my maturity in the Lord

We wrote this song while Jilliana was pregnant with our firstborn daughter in anticipation of her birth and as a celebration of the miracle of her life.
We believe one of the verses in the bible that illuminates the heart of God for little children, even those unborn, who have yet to break the veil and reveal themselves to the outer world, is found in Matthew 19:14
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Jilliana was working at VOICE FOR LIFE in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada at that time as the community educator. Her role was to go out into the schools and into the community to teach and inform children and students. The backbone of the organization is a conviction that human life begins at conception, and that the value the baby forming inside it's mother is already present from the moment it is conceived. While there were many topics she taught on regarding general health, puberty, and hygiene, the central hope of her mission was to educate young people about what is REALLY happening inside of a mother's womb right from the instant a baby is conceived, and that a conviction would be formed from this knowledge that those unborn babies should be protected from harm like we would any other baby or human being. She would do presentations that illustrated how a baby is formed in the womb from conception to birth, and share how at just 21 days the heart of a the baby begins to beat.
As Christians, it is without question that God defines and values human life with immeasurable worth, because He has said that we are made in His own image, that He knit us together in our mother's womb, where He knew us before we were born, and thought of us before we had a thought about Him. There is no other stance for a believer. Unborn children are to be protected and have the rights we would afford any other human being. Any other ideology about unborn children flies in the face of the scriptures which were given for our instruction and edification, the very Word of God that gives context to our existence and is sent to lead us back to eternal life.
God Himself entered the womb of a woman to become the incarnate Lord Jesus Christ and to save us from sin and death. As it is written, "unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders." God sees and holds every child that had their life prematurely ripped away from them whether it was through natural or unnatural means. Jesus, God with us, embodied the same suffering and injustice many of these unloved and unprotected babies experienced as the innocent suffered at the hands of a lost and blind generation. He cried out, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do!"
We are convinced that those babies find their rest in the justice and redemption that comes through Jesus Christ, the One Who came to raise the dead through his own suffering and resurrection, and the triumph He won once and for all over the grave. That being said, we are called to stand up for the oppressed, to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God.
This song is a celebration of the life that is growing in a mother's womb, and the incredible miracle and gift a baby is.
"Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward." Psalm 127:3
Lyrics:
Your DNA danced 21 days and your heart began 7 Weeks you moved your arms and legs 3 months and you heard my voice sing
3 months more and your eyes knew light 3 months still till I hold you tight
Chorus: This broken world doesn't know what to do with little angels like you but your God will be your wings so you can fly Oh how we love you and we'll do all that we can do but the Word will be your everlasting life
So come into this world where you were made to fly if the darkness seems to cover you Jesus is your light
Take your fist breath welcome to your pilgramage learning faces sounds and sights so much new but it will be alright
hours old and you changed the world promise child, precious girl
Chorus: This broken world doesn't know what to do with little angels like you but your God will be your wings so you can fly Oh how we love you and we'll do all that we can do but the Word will be your everlasting life
So come into this world where you were made to fly if the darkness seems to cover you Jesus is your light
So grow, grow faith, grow shine brighter than the moonlit snowDont get married... unless 🙏🏼 #marriageJonathan & Jilliana2026-04-03 | Hear me clear, I love being married!
However😅 I do wish in retrospect, someone had sat me down pre-wedding, and said to me what I just said to you, in this reel. You have to count the cost to lay down your life for another. There are a great many journeys that my husband and I have weathered through, that we felt incredibly unprepared for. We had rose coloured glasses on, full of lofty expectation. As much as folks talked about how beautiful marriage was, very few got into the nitty gritty with us about the struggles that would come, too. About the tools we would need in order to make the marriage beautiful.
Everyone's struggles are going to be different in many ways, depending on upbringing, trauma, belief systems, etc. The truth of what is needed to overcome those struggles stays the same:
- Jesus at the centre. Not your spouse. They can not be your Jesus. - Daily devotionals and prayer time are a non-negotiable. You have to be in the word and in the presence together. Stay unified in the spirit. Cover one another with the word and prayer. No greater gift you could give each other. -Love must be your highest goal. Regardless of your fleeting emotions, day to day. - Righteousness over right-ness. Submit to one another in love and humility, always seeking to understand. - Forgive quick, repent even quicker. - Your spouse is not your source of happiness, and you will live in constant disappoint if you put that unrealistic expectation on them. - Marriage will refine you (if you let it) more than any other relationship. - Selfless service. If you both desire to serve one another first, everyone's needs will be met. Guaranteed. - "No greater love has someone than this- to lay down one's life for one's friend." - Don't stop dating. - Dance in the kitchen. - Kiss till it makes your kids uncomfortable. But PG of course lol. - LOVE. IS. A. CHOICE. Your feelings will lie to you. Choose love anyway. You have to choose your love EVERY SINGLE DAY! There are no other options. Keep choosing each other.

“I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge, even as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you, so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment. For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.” Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?” 1 Corinthians 1:4-13
#thebloodofjesus #saved #redeemed #christian #jesusislordDont forget WHERE Jesus flipped the tables👀 #forreal #Thegospel #preachtruthJonathan & Jilliana2026-03-31 | Somewhere along the line, The Church has forgotten:
Jesus did not come into this world to CONDEMN IT, but to SAVE IT! John 3:16-21
The CHURCHES responsibility is to point to Jesus in action, word and example. Period. Not to point at the world and tell them"why don't you know better?" No one knows they are breaking the law, until the law is explained to them. No one knows they are sinning unless someone explains what freedom FROM sin is. And THAT is the churches role. How? By holding ONE ANOTHER IN CHRIST, ACCOUNTABLE, to live like Jesus.
““If your brother (fellow Christian) sins , go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.” Matthew 18:15
“Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.” Galatians 6:1
“Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” Colossians 3:16
““But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. Reject a factious man after a first and second warning, knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.” Titus 3:9-11
“I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.” 1 Corinthians 5:9-13
#thechurch #thebible #thegospel #accountability #wakeupThere is no participation award in the kingdom. #IDontKnowYou #JesusisLord #Christianreels #wakeupJonathan & Jilliana2026-03-31 | There is no participation award in heaven. You know Jesus, and He knows you, or you don't. Period. It is NOT enough to have known of Jesus, heard sermons of Him, served in your church, read every book on Him, but never were "still and LNEW that He is Lord." I can know about Jesus till kingdom come, but what's gonna matter is if I KNEW HIM, personally. He knew my new nature and I knew His glorified one.
““Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; and He will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from; depart from Me, all you evildoers.’” Luke 13:24-2770 Times 7 | Jonathan & Jilliana | Official Video (live)Jonathan & Jilliana2026-03-21 | 70 Times 7 | Jonathan & Jilliana | Official Video (live)
The Lord is patient and merciful, and when teaching His disciples how to emulate His loving kindness that He expresses toward US He gave an amazing instruction that revealed just how far beyond our fallen human nature the love of God calls us.
Matthew 18:21-22 says this:
Then Peter came and said to Him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
Based on the biblical teaching in Matthew 18:21-22, we should forgive our brothers and sisters an unlimited number of times—symbolized as "seventy-seven" or "seventy times seven" (490) times. Jesus used this phrase to teach that forgiveness should not be limited or kept score of, but rather offered continuously, mirroring the grace shown to us.
While this is a call to a radical form of living and transcendence into the grace of God, high above a law based system that keeps us bound in self righteousness, it is simultaneously a glimpse into the ultimate and triumphant grace of Jesus Christ and the mercy of God that endures forever with a love that never fails.
This is what 70 x 7 is about, a confession of our helplessness apart from the overwhelming grace by which we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work at the cross. It is a love song to the One Who's faithfulness is the cornerstone of refuge and salvation. He is beautiful beyond words, His Spirit is always issuing out this grace and shedding the love of God abroad in our hearts like a waterfall from heaven. He is the fountain of living water that never runs dry. Jesus is the MESSIAH, the promised Anointed One, who carries the fragrance of eternal life everywhere He is manifested. We pray He washes you as you listen, and restores Your confidence in His perfect love toward you that cannot fail because He is faithful.
Lyrics:
I'm sure by now I've crossed the line 490 times. Am I alright? Your loving touch, Your sweet perfume... Never take Your spirit from me, I implore you!
Cause I'm sure by now, I've crossed the line 490 times. So why are You still here? How You ease my troubled mind. Please never leave me, oh how I need these kisses on my head. You're the rock of my salvation, the hope of the nations, lead me to Your rest.
I thought by now I'd have it all figured out, but I don't How I need Thee, oh how I need Thee every hour. In the morning when I rise, when I laugh and when I cry as the years keep passing by, give me Jesus
Cause I'm sure by now, I've crossed the line 490 times. So why are You still here? How You ease my troubled mind. Please never leave me, oh how I need these kisses on my head. You're the rock of my salvation, the hope of the nations, lead me to Your rest.
Give me Jesus, give me Jesus, You can have all this world, give me Jesus.Dirty White Flag | Jonathan & Jilliana | Official VideoJonathan & Jilliana2026-03-09 | Dirty White Flag | Jonathan & Jilliana | Official Video
Dirty White Flag is a song about surrender. We often get into trying to prove ourselves to God and to people but its putting the cart before the horse, and it leaves us burning out in despairing because it is impossible to qualify ourselves before a holy God. Jesus is a literal IDEAL turned human, because God is actually perfect. When we hold ourselves up against ANY ideal we will be crushed by it. The glorious thing in THIS situation is that upon our confession that we cannot do it in our own strength, upon repenting and returning to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, we surrender our score card, our dirty white flag, and we are given the right standing of Jesus Christ that we could never have earned ourselves. The bible says that God showed us how tremendous a love He has for us in that while we were still sinners, making us ENEMIES of God, He loved us enough to die for us, to pay the full price for our sin and justify us before His righteous throne forever. God raised Jesus to life again after three days and He is now seated at the right hand of God, ready to judge the living and the dead according to this glorious gospel: "whoever will call upon the name of the Lord SHALL BE SAVED." This is a song of surrender, of confession, repentance, and dependency on the grace and mercy of God through the Son, Jesus Christ.
Lyrics:
We are fearfully and wonderfully made we are more than this world has ever said
You have known my ways since before I knew Your name and You loved me just the same when I was Your enemy, Your enemy So I raise my dirty white flag, my righteousness is filthy rags and I lay down all my shame, and pick up serenity
You are beautifully and gloriously God You are the very definition of love
You have known my ways since before I knew Your name and You loved me just the same when I was Your enemy, Your enemy So I raise my dirty white flag, my righteousness is filthy rags and I lay down all my shame, and pick up serenityFather | Jonathan & Jilliana | Official VideoJonathan & Jilliana2026-03-09 | Father | Jonathan & Jilliana | Official Video
Thanks for coming to worship together with us! I began writing this song early in my walk with God, when the revelation of God as FATHER was beginning to illuminate my understanding and heal my heart. The love of God is able to drive fear out from us because God IS LOVE and He IS LIGHT. Knowing that the creator of heaven and earth has taken it upon Himself to FATHER us out of this fallen world and back into eternity with Him changes everything. We are not spiritual orphans any more, dependent only on earthly means of comfort and sustenance, but Jesus Christ has come to seek and save the lost, to provide for us with bread from heaven, His own body given for us and our redemption. God SO LOVES the world, He was willing to give His one and only Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life. Jesus is the resurrection and the life, the door out of fear and back into perfect love, perfect peace, and the presence of the FATHER of lights, in whom there is no shifting shadow or inconsistency. This simple song of meditation and worship is a reflection on the holiness and and glory of the God who calls Himself "FATHER."
Lyrics:
Father, Father There will be none beside You For You alone are God, and You alone are good.
Father, Father I love You more than any other You took all my confusion and made it understood.
So I will lift my hands and declare that You are holy and perfect love casts out my fear as You open my eyes to see this is what we're made for just to love You, and to love like You do Jesus, You're the door, and we enter in through You we enter in through unfailing love
Father, Father we lift You up in our surrender for You alone are God, and You alone are good
Father, Father Your voice is like many waters Your washing over me, You fill me with your words
So I will lift my hands and declare that You are holy and perfect love casts out my fear as You open my eyes to see this is what we're made for just to love You, and to love like You do Jesus, You're the door, and we enter in through You we enter in through unfailing love . . . . . Thanks for listening and worshiping with us. God is OUR FATHER through the spirit of adoption poured out through faith in Jesus Christ the firstborn and only begotten Son. He is for you and not against you. He promises to never leave you and never to forsake you.

This song is dedicated to Jilliana, my wife of 10 years as of August 1st 2025.
Love like this does exist... its not a fantasy, its just costly. Jesus is the way.
Happy 10 year anniversary to my beloved. What an unspeakable treasure you are to me. In a world full of darkness, you are a light ignited by Christ. I was a poor man when you met me, and you saw into me with the eyes of God, you did not despise what I lacked because you celebrated what I had, which was just Jesus. Thank you for holding me accountable to that. Thank you for calling me out when my heart drifted from the purity of where I started. Thank you for not only refusing to idolize vain things, but for being so resolute, that when I began to be seduced by the world and its empty promises, you demanded more from me, that the only thing that would do is Christ is me, the hope of glory.
I am so honoured to be married to you, a virtuous woman the likes of which the bible says is very hard to find, and its clear that to find a wife like you is to find favour from the Lord.
The words of this song are not a nice thought, they are our story, and they are true. In our 10 years together I have discovered something I could never have imagined in my younger years, a love that transcends the realm of soulish impulse, a love inhabited by God, full of forgiveness, patience, and faith.
Thank you for a love like this...
Lyrics:
Oh I could search the world and still not find what I've already found in your eyes my beautiful wife
and you, tested and true, it takes time and it takes pain to uncover what we have discovered a love that sees through and through
so much more than just feelings cause feelings are fleeting they come and they go like the tide it's in deeper waters those brave enough charter we find
love like this like a secret that only we know love like this it took all of these years to grow
and I know there's no where else for me to go we'll only ever reap what we sow and you're my chosen
through floods or in fires when demons don't tire and fall on the walls of this love let no man untether what God put together in us
love like this like a secret that only we know love like this we move past our fears to grow
and you're more beautiful now than ever before with your scars like a warrior returned from the war and you're more beautiful now than ever before with the marks of love and live worth fighting for
so much more than just feelings cause feelings are fleeting they come and they go like the tide it's in deeper waters those brave enough charter we find love like thisJesus Came To Set Us Free From Self Obsession 🔑 #bible #biblestudy #jesus #phillipians #newcreationJonathan & Jilliana2025-07-26 | Phillipians 2:3 is a Kingdom key 🔑
“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;” Philippians 2:3 NASB1995
We are no longer orphans spiritually. What that means is that in the eternal picture, in the most profoundly important way, we have been adopted by God Himself, and we have received the inheritance of Christ, the perfect prince of heaven, the Son of the living God.
Our flesh cannot inherit what was purchased for us in the spirit. Our inheritance is accessed by FAITH! When we BELIEVE Jesus, we begin to walk in a new nature, where we are no longer striving and scrambling to make our own way because The Way has been opened to us through the finished work of Jesus.
We cannot walk in the mind of the orphan spirit (the flesh) and the mind of a Christ (the Son) at the same time. Just like God said, “the son of the bond woman will not share in the inheritance with the son of promise.”
When we consider others more important than ourselves, it’s not a call to false humility or a weird form of self deprecation, it is a commandment that brings FREEDOM.
It is a key to unlock the mind of Christ and spirit of Christ within us because we agree with Him in this: we have all we need, we are fully secure in God for all eternity. We can afford to make a priority of others because we have an overflow and abundance that no one can ever diminish. We are literal sons and daughters of God.
From the place of adoptions as sons and daughters, from the new nature, the born again spirit, we have this attitude in ourselves:

It's Harvest Time: Prophetic Word September 2024
If you have been wondering what the meaning and purpose of this world and your life is, TAKE THIS WALK WITH ME. I want to tell you EXACTLY why you exist, why you were made, and that God LOVES YOU SO MUCH, He gave the most COSTLY thing imaginable to bring you to Himself and to restore a relationship between Him and you and Father and child. When God made the world, He made it perfect, there was no death, no destruction. We fell, the world is not as it was originally designed. It is covered in darkness, death, and chaos, all things that you were never designed to know.
Jesus IS THE LIGHT of life. Take this walk with me and the Lord and learn what the bible says about what God has done and is going to do because of His great love for the people He created in His own image.
These are turbulent times we are living in. The season is something Jesus Christ, the Son of God, exhorted us to be aware of, saying that is so important for us to discern the signs of the times as surely as we know when a storm is coming or the season is changing naturally.
On a walk with the Lord and with my dog Judah, The Spirit of Christ began to illuminate my heart with clear discernment about the season and time we are living in.
This meditation and prophetic exhortation is in accordance with His own testimony and the written Word of God. This is the hour we have been in since His appearing, and no one knows the exact time of the Lord's coming, but He DOES tell us to recognize the signs of the times and to be vigilant and ready. My hope is that this word would not just encourage the body of christ to "lift your eyes, the fields are white for harvest" and to pray for the Lord of the harvest to send out more harvesters in this generation which is so hungry and ready for God, but that those who the Father has been drawing by His own Spirit would come across this video, have the TRUTH of the testimony of Jesus Christ shine in their hearts, that they would finally come to believe in the Son of God and be saved. Please pray with me that this video itself would be a tool the Lord can use to reach those who are so hungry for the truth and ready to hear the answer to the questions they have been asking about eternity, about the meaning of their lives, and about the purpose of this creation and the times we are living in. It IS harvest time, The Word of The Lord endures forever, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. His words are spirit and they are life.No where are we called to go after your destiny. But we are called to HIM. #truth #bibleJonathan & Jilliana2024-06-25 | God isn't asking you to "Seek His will"... He wants you to seek His face.
It takes humility to submit oneself under Gods right hand, without seeking one's personal gain in the process. God doesn't "owe" us some earthly destiny - He's already provided an eternal one through Christs death and resurrection!
Our purpose is inevitably fulfilled when we are obedient to Gods word - period. Love God, love others, love yourself. HOW we do that, God will make plain, as He did all throughout scripture. But in the mean time, we humbly do all things as unto the Lord! Our eating, drinking, comings and goings, our work, our interactions, etc. What GOD chooses to do with our submission to Him, is UP to Him. He is not required to reveal some grandiose purpose for us, beyond what he's already made plain in His word.
Everyone God called to something "Great", were all in incredibly humble positions. And their journeys to fulfill His purposes for them, did not come without great trials, testings and TRUST in God's sovereign plan.
So friends, the answer to Gods will/purpose/plan for your life is plain: Love Him. Seek Him. Remain humble. Trust Him. Be obedient to His word. And be available to say "Yes!" Whenever and wherever He calls you. But keep your eyes fixed on just HIM in the meantime. Be obedient and steward well, what is right in front of you in this season. And in due time... He will exalt the humble.

No amount of sleep or "self care" is helping. No amount of alone time or girl time is satiating the ache. I get it. Sis, we're looking in the wrong places- our souls are tired.
We are in a dry, dessert land while on this earth. The world and its incessant demands are sucking life out of us, second by second. Ya'll, we NEED Jesus. When scripture tells us to pray without ceasing, it's cause the God of our souls already knew what we would need in order to survive this place- Him.
His sustaining grace. His daily mercy. His empowering love. His incomprehensible peace. His healing forgiveness. His timely provision.
Himself.
May this be your much needed sign to stop the mind numbing scroll game and turn to the one who is ever present, consistent, fulfilling and sufficient.

“The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace... But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.” Romans 8:6, 10-13 NIV
“But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”” Luke 5:30-32
Jesus- “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.” John 15:4-6

Who do YOU say Jesus is?
Some say a prophet, some say a good and moral teacher, others say a fraud, a mad man or demoniac.
But to those who had come to know Him, He was so much more, and we bear witness to what they had seen and heard from Him, because His Spirit continues to make Him known when we believe in Him. . . . . . #jesus #christian #worship #bible #holy #quietYour spiritual gifts mean nothing, unless👀 #truth #letloverule #dailydevoJonathan & Jilliana2024-06-17 | The gifts are great... but LOVE is eternal.
“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
Let love be your highest goal.

This video seeks to use purely biblical insight and sound theological teaching FROM the bible to answer these two common questions circulating amongst believers and unbelievers alike:
When is Jesus Coming Back? If Satan has been defeated at the cross, and Jesus has triumphed over sin and death, why are we still struggling with the devil and with sin?
The two questions are actually closely knit together then it might seem, because the bible has A LOT to say about the return of the Lord Jesus, about the final judgement of Satan, and why the Lord hasn't come back yet.
The most essential scripture that illuminates the heart and mind of God regarding these two questions (i think) is the parable of the weeds which the Lord Jesus used to explain exactly why we are still wrestling with sin and the devil, and why He hasn't immediately executed the judgement and the sentence against evil and against satan that was made when Jesus proclaimed it before going to the cross.
John 12:31 “Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32“And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”
The Bible gives only ONE actual answer to when Jesus is coming back, and it's not a date. His return and where WE are on the prophetic timeline laid out in the bible is hard to see when you look at any one isolated scripture, but when you pull on the PARABLES that Jesus told about the Kingdom of God and on the Revelation given to John The Apostle, you get the BIG PICTURE and can see our place in in more clearly. It doesn't mean we have a date for the return of the Lord, it means we know how to posture ourselves because we understand what the heart of God is while these incredible event which the bible foretold unfold before our eyes.
As James said in chapter 5 of his letter, verses 7-10 "Be patient, therefore, beloved, * until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious crop from the earth, being patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near."Jonny... are you praying? | Testimony + Prophetic WordJonathan & Jilliana2024-04-16 | Jonny... are you praying? | Testimony + Prophetic Word
Matthew 6:6 says "But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you."
when I was about 4 or 5 years old I was playing in the playroom at this half duplex that my mum and my stepdad bought when we moved to Cleveland Ohio it was this blonde wood varnished floor I specifically remember and the place it that I was at was a Magic Kingdom castle at the top tower Minnie Mouse in a princess dress was sitting there with her hands clasped and she was looking off hopeful obviously waiting for the return of her husband so I sat there not knowing what I was doing but as little kids are want to do I just mimiced what I was seeing I had my hands like this and I was doing what I saw her doing my stepdad walked into the room and he was very quiet and he looked at me and he said Jonny are you praying? because of course at the time we were raised in a very secular household and and that wasn't a comon practice so for him it was very shocking to see me in that posture he wasn't sure what I was doing and at the moment all I was doing was copying what I saw all these years later as I've grown in my walk with the Lord having come to believe in him when I was about 17 years old I've had this reoccurring impression in my spirit that at first I didn't even understand where when I'd go to pray I would see that floor and I would feel like a little child and it was this deep memory that the Holy Spirit was drawing up and as I now meet with the Lord in actual prayer He brings that memory up because it's in that position as a little child in a posture of prayer before the Lord that the Father will come into you He says are you praying? because He wants to meet with you so my question to you is are you praying the Lord wants to come and meet with you the Spirit of God will minister things to your heart that you just can't receive in a corporate prayer setting there's no substitute for privately praying just look at the life of Jesus who often separated himself and went into what the Bible calls lonely places to pray if the Son of God needed to step away so that He could have quiet time with the Father so that he could fulfill the ministry and the calling on His life how much more do you need to separate yourself to pray in private with your Father Jesus said that His Father seeks for such to worship Him not to put on a show for other people to be seen or heard not looking to be perceived as a spiritual person or a religious person by other people but praying in private where your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly the Bible also says in Him we live and move and have our being we are in God and God is in us as a person who's born again you're not of this world anymore since you've been born again God is carrying you inside of Him your true life is hidden in Christ and prayer is like the umbilical connection for you to receive life giving nourishment from God we cannot live this life without prayer so that memory that the Lord brings up for me where my stepfather came in and found me in that posture and said are you praying? that's the question the Lord is asking me again and asking you these days are you praying? He wants to meet with you thereWhen We Found The Actual End Of The Rainbow And The Treasure Better Than Gold!! 🌈 ☘️Jonathan & Jilliana2024-02-20 | After 2 weeks of rainbows appearing nearly every evening leading up to our wedding day, with a circular rainbow (sun dog) around the sin at the exact hour of our wedding ceremony, Jilliana and I went to Ireland for our honeymoon and the first. If by trying to find a B&B we stumbled upon this majestic sight: the literal end of a beautiful rainbow with sparkling drops of subtle golden rain hitting the driveway where the rainbow ended. If you have ever wanted to see the actual end of the rainbow and the treasure hidden there, this is IT! If you are single, let the Lord lead you in your desire for a spouse, He is better at match making then anyone and He knows what is good for us. God wrote our love story and I will be forever grateful for the time I have had with this daughter of God, and for what time He will give us yet until our journeys here are done.God Wrote Himself In | Timothy Keller Explains The Incarnation😮Jonathan & Jilliana2023-12-26 | Timothy Keller gives illustrates the GOSPEL and the INCARNATION OF JESUS CHRIST using the example of an author writing themselves into their own narrative. He explains that man cannot related to God like a person on the first floor would relate to a person living on the second floor. God is not going to be found by His creation through our climbing physically higher into the heavens or into space. Keller describes how Yuri Gagarin the Soviet cosmonaut, after becoming the first person we knew of to ascend to outer space, thought it was a point for the materialistic atheism the Soviet Union embraced as the doctrine of its land when he went up to space and didn't see God. Keller goes on to explain that CS LEWIS, still being alive at the time responded in an essay "THE SEEING EYE," in which he made the point that God wouldn't be discovered or related to by people like a person living on the first floor would find or related to a person living on the second floor of a building, but MUCH MORE like HAMLET relating to SHAKESPEARE. CS LEWIS explains that Hamlet would be helpless to discover Shakespeare, indeed, he could know NOTHING much about Shakespeare accept to speculate about an author to his story UNLESS Shakespeare were to WRITE HIMSELF IN to his play. Keller uses the example of Dorothy Sayer who is thought to have written herself into her stories of Sir PETER WIMSEY the detective. It is thought that she looked into her story, saw Peter, lonely and in need, and she WROTE HERSELF into the story to because she loved him and wanted to save him from that loneliness and hopelessness. Timothy Keller makes the case that that is almost exactly what GOD did through Jesus Christ. In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with God and the word was God, He was with God in the beginning. The WORD BECAME FLESH and dwelt among us. God looked into His creation, He saw us suffering and hopeless in sin and death, and HE wrote Himself into His narrative to save us. Christ is the revelation of the creator and author of all creation. God wrote Himself into the story. That is what the incarnation is all about.Sons of God are not peace keepers... #truth #challengeJonathan & Jilliana2023-06-20 | Peace Keeping vs Peace Making 📖
It's easy to "keep the peace." People like peace keepers, cause they don't stir the pot. They do as they're told, they don't engage in confrontation & they'll do whatever needs to be done to make sure those around them stay happy. Unfortunately, what this translates to is crippling internal anxiety, a life riddled with fear, inauthentic relationships & limited personal growth. As Christian's, we aren't permitted to live as peace keepers in our new nature as children of God.
Matthew 5:9 says "Blessed are the PEACE MAKERS, for THEY will be called SOMS of God."
Peace making takes humility, intentionality, a burden for authentic relationship & a desire to lead others OUT of their brokenness (confrontation) and INTO the arms of a loving God. For example, Matthew 5:23 says, "If you are offering your gift at the alter and remember that your brother has something against you... first, GO AND BE RECONCILED to them, then come offer your gift."
As Ambassadors of Christ on this earth, we have to reflect the way he also engaged in Peace Making on this earth. He sat with winners, but he never condoned their sin. He affirmed their value, without affirming their life choices, that were leading them toward hell.
This is our charge as Peace Makers on the earth:
“So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” 2 Corinthians 5:16-21

It's easy to get caught in the enemies loop of "why me, God?" I'm doing so, we miss the redemption and freedom and comfort God longs to bring others, who are facing the same (or will face) the same circumstance we are currently facing. We carry a level of authority in the spirit after we have overcome something, that can actually empower others to overcome, but the word of our testimony!
God doesn't waste anything. In this life, we will have trouble, and that's a promise. However, we can take heart because CHRIST (who lives in us) has overcome the world.
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”” John 16:33 ESV
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.” Ephesians 6:12-13 ESV
“And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.” Revelation 12:11 ESV
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 ESV

““No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money. “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” Matthew 6:24-34 NLT
He loves you. He knows your needs. He knows how to MEET those needs. You be obedient, and He will be faithful to partner with it.

Forgive:
“Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.” Colossians 3:13 NLT
“I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours. But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too. ”” Mark 11:24-25 NLT
““If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Matthew 6:14-15 NLT
“So watch yourselves! “If another believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive. Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive.”” Luke 17:3-4 NLT
“Is it easier to say ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or ‘Stand up and walk’? So I will prove to you that the Son of Man has the authority on earth to forgive sins.” Then Jesus turned to the paralyzed man and said, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!”” Matthew 9:5-6 NLT
“Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:31-32 NLT
“Then Peter came to him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven!” Matthew 18:21-22 NLT
“Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord. Instead, “If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.” Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.” Romans 12:17-21 NLTThe Lord Is Asking…Jonathan & Jilliana2023-04-26 | Today God spoke straight to my heart about His Only Begotten Son.

It can be confusing when we see people in the world who don’t seem to revere God at all thriving in certain areas of their life MORE than many/most believers we know.
The TRUTH is that God’s principles apply to anyone who will practice them. Human beings, made in God’s image, were designed to be fruitful and multiply, to have dominion. When God explains the LAW of reaping and sowing, it is clear that it applies to everyone. He makes it rain on the just and the unjust, and the principles of God will bear fruit for anyone who puts them into practice.
It’s the same when in God’s Word He says “death and life are in the power of the tongue.” When we speak, there is weight on the words that come from our mouth to shape our reality. While the world and new age culture would try and exploit that power in an unsanctioned or demonic way (called manifesting) the truth is that your words DO carry God given power that affects reality in measure.
These divine principles from the Word of God are going to produce results even when/if the person practicing them does not yet know God Himself. So don’t be confused when you see unbelievers having “success” in accordance with their practice of reaping and sowing or any other Godly principle. As believers in God through Christ Jesus, we should be those whose practice God’s principles most diligently ourselves!God Showed Me These Three Pictures | Why we struggle in prayer! #short #bible #testimonyJonathan & Jilliana2023-01-30 | God Showed Me These Three Pictures | Why we struggle in prayer! #short #bible #testimony
When praying yesterday, God showed me three pictures in a series of visions which came as very subtle and gentle impressions in my spirit.
The first vision from God was of traffic passing quickly in front of me in both directions.
The second vision from God was of The Lord Jesus Christ Himself holding 1 finger up in front of his face.
The third impression or vision from God was of a tombstone with flowers on it.
I was telling my wife about these three visions from God while I was praying and she is the one who helped me understand the simplicity of what The Lord was saying to me through His Spirit as I sought Him in prayer.
So often our souls have so much noise and chaos passing through them and infront of them when we go to pray.
The Lord was saying the same thing He said to Martha when she was anxious about many things: that only one thing was needed, and Mary her sister had chosen that good thing which was to sit at the feet of Jesus and learn from Him.
The bible says we have been crucified with Christ and that by faith we put to death the deeds of the flesh so that we can live according to the new spirit God out inside of us.
When we go to pray, God says “Be still and know that I AM God.”
That is where the Holy Spirit has fellowship with us and speaks to our hearts about the new life we have hidden with Christ.I Saw Jesus Twice In One Night, When He Showed Me The End I Just Cried... (Testimony)Jonathan & Jilliana2023-01-25 | I Saw Jesus Twice In One Night, When He Showed Me The End I Just Cried (This video is not monetized, I am not earning ad revenue from it. I apologize If YouTube is still showing advertisements)
God gave me a dream where I was confronted by Jesus ONCE in a form where I did not recognize Him and again at the end where I did know it was Him. When I saw Jesus at the end, I could barely breath, all I could do was cry, and this is what GOD SHOWED me in all of this.
Visions from God and dreams from God are not CRAZY, they are promised in the WORD OF GOD where Joel prophesied that in the last days the young men would see visions and the old men would dream dreams. , , . . .
The REVELATION the Lord was communicating through this dream where Jesus appeared twice in one night has been growing in my heart over the years since this dream from God happened and it is ALL confirmed in scripture. The COMMANDMENT of God is that we BELIEVE in His Son Jesus Christ and love HIM by being obedient to HIS command which is that we LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
If you have ever wondered how you can know if you are going to heaven or not this testimony of the encounter I had with Jesus and the message God was speaking through this dream will help you. The scriptures and the dream from the Holy Spirit work together to ASSURE us of what GOD's true expectations are, how HIS YOKE IS EASY and HIS BURDEN IS LIGHT, and the calling we have in Christ Jesus is to BELIEVE IN HIS NAME, to LOVE HIM and to love one another whole heartedly.
This remarkable dream from God and the testimony about seeing Jesus will BLESS YOU if you can put down your presuppositions and make A RIGHT JUDGEMENT, testing the spirits and using the WORD of GOD as a standard and lens.
THREE Scriptures we need going into this:
THREE WITNESSES To show you so you can KNOW this dream and its message are REALLY from God through the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 11:28
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
WHAT IS LAWLESSNESS? LOVELESSNESS
The PERFECT LAW of God is summed up in this “LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD With all your heart soul mind and strength and love your neighbour as yourself.”
We are free from the bondage and endless complexities of the old law and are now BOUND to the LAW OF LIBERTY in Christ JESUS
Matthew 25: 34-45
Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ 37“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ 41“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44“Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’I asked Jesus to physically show Himself to me and THIS happened ❤️🔥#christian #testimonyJonathan & Jilliana2023-01-14 | I asked Jesus to physically show Himself to me and this is what happened ❤️🔥

Christians will be encouraged by this Testimony about how God the Holy Spirit lead me through His Word into an encounter with Jesus Christ!The Lord Supernaturally Showed Me My Wife With Three Visions From GodJonathan & Jilliana2023-01-05 | How God Supernaturally Showed Me My Wife And What He Expected From Me If I Married Her
I had three visions in the middle of the night after praying with Jilliana about our relationship when we first met.
When I had the first vision I didn’t know what was going on, but after the second and third visions from God I knew that He was showing me my wife. The three visions from God ended in a dream from God about my wife.
How God The Father Presented His Daughter To His Son For Marriage
God is a GOOD FATHER, and when we are in covenant with Him He says, "delight yourself in ME and I will give you the desires of your heart."
Not every person is called to the same things, but for the ones who are called to married life, this testimony of how God showed me my wife and the reality that He REALLY wanted me to honor her as HIS DAUGHTER and treat our covenant as HOLY will be encouraging and convicting to you as it always is to me.
If marriage is in the Lord's plan for you, The HOLY SPIRIT will lead you and guide you as you delight yourself in GOD first and foremost. Let The Lord be your all in all, and He will not hold this good thing back from you, because His word says:
"He who finds a wife finds a good thing."
God will lead you to a spouse that is GOOD for you and confirm to you if it is blessed, and God will give you instruction through The Word and The Holy Spirit on how to love your spouse well and how GOD THE FATHER expects his children to treat each other in marriage.
God Himself will guide you to a husband or wife if it is His will for you, but the BEST THING you can do is SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM, and all these things will be added, all the things your Father knows best about.
I hope you enjoy this crazy God story and are blessed in your own adventure with God as you make Him first in all things.I Saw Satan Fall Like Lightning | The True Story About The DevilJonathan & Jilliana2023-01-01 | I Saw Satan Fall Like Lightning | The True Story About The Devil
When Jesus said that He saw satan fall like lightning, there is a revelation about the nature of the enemy to be had as we meditate on those words.
This is the true story of the devil and how his time is running out.God Uses A 3 Year Old To Say ThisJonathan & Jilliana2022-11-29 | God used our three year old daughter to speak to our hearts and remind us that seeing the Kingdom requires that we become like little children. We have to get, “low enough” as she said to see the rainbows 🌈. The rainbow is a sign of God’s covenant with man ever since the flood of Noah’s day. God promised that He would never again destroy the world with water. Jesus is the ark of the new covenant and is our shelter from judgement. He paid the price for sin and died in our place so that we could be forgiven and be reconciled to God The Father. This is the new and better covenant that was prophesied throughout the Old Testament, The blood of Jesus is the blood of the new covenant, the new life that God has given us greet through His Son with a promise never to destroy that life again. To come into the kingdom of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Jesus said we have to become like little children. So like our 3 year old daughter says, get “low enough” to see God’s promise. . . . . . #covenant #prophetic #bible #christian #wordofgodDream From God About The Spirit of The Older Brother | Prophetic WarningJonathan & Jilliana2022-06-16 | Dream From God About The Spirit Of The Older Brother Prophetic Warning

acts 2 17 in the new testament quotes joel 2 28 in the old testament saying, "and it shall be in the last days, God says, that i will pour out my spirit on all flesh your young men shall see visions your old men will dream dreams"
a dream from the lord that contains a warning for the church a God Dream Testimony
Like the parable of the prodigal son that jesus tells there are those who are coming back to the father like the prodigal son being restored to their inheritance in their relationship with the father through jesus christ these are the last days and there is a revival that is sweeping across the earth just like the bible has declared there will be in the middle of all this chaos as the world gets darker and darker the move of god and his holy spirit and the church is getting brighter and brighter in jesus's prophetic parable about the prodigal son there's the older brother who is full of religion self-righteousness and resentment because of the father's tender mercy towards the son who had rebelled now of course that parable applied directly to the time that jesus spoke it where so much of israel was stuck in religion and they could not receive jesus because they thought themselves to be righteous already but in this dream that i believe the lord just gave me he illuminated that the same spirit of the older brother in the parable of the prodigal son exists in the church today and not only are those who are inundated with the spirit of the older brother depriving and robbing themselves of relationship with god and their siblings but they directly persecute the prodigal son who's been restored because they have a works based mentality In this dream the holy spirit painted a really clear picture of this In this dream that from God i was invited to a church to speak and to share my testimony I became very intimidated by the words of a religious little man. I understood the culture that he was part of and that there might be an expectation i was not able to meet All my fear was washed away because i knew that the scripture said we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony and i knew that these people would receive power as i preached the simple reality of the cross of jesus christ and the power of the cross to transform our lives from death to eternal life and the testimony that i have of god doing that very thing in me and just as i got to the place where i was so excited and ready to share i woke up from the dream this is what god is doing right now in his church there are countless new baby brothers and sisters coming into the lord and they have such powerful testimonies and god is redeeming people from every kind of sin and situation there is a move of god sweeping people just like myself out of drug addiction depression witchcraft you name it lust sin homosexuality transgender ideology god is meeting people right in their death and bringing them to life and there are so many in the church who are ready to celebrate that they're so excited and they can't wait to hear the testimonies. BUT there are so many christians that will not come and be part of this celebration to their own loss in their own detriment and that is the warning of the holy spirit right now because they are harboring the spirit of self-righteousness of religion and resentment like the older brother in the parable of the prodigal son remember how the prodigal son came back after completely wasting his father's inheritance he was a chief sinner of sinners he had betrayed his father saying he wanted the money more than he even wanted relationship with his father and he wasted it all on sin and self-gratification and flesh there was nothing good to show for it but when he came back it says he was still a great distance away and the father had been looking for him from the porch watching for him and when he saw his son returning it says that he girded himself up and ran with all his might to meet this son who had betrayed him and threw his arms around him and kissed him the son says i'm not even worthy to be called your son anymore but just let me be a servant in your house but the father instead puts a ring on his finger and a robe on his shoulders and he says it's time for us to celebrateFirst Love | Jonathan & JillianaJonathan & Jilliana2022-06-02 | First Love | Jonathan & Jilliana | Prophetic Worship Song 2022
Official Lyric video for "First Love" by Jonathan and Jilliana, a prophetic worship song asking The Lord to bring us back to our first love to serve Him and pursue Him with a passion that reflects the zeal He pursued us with.

See the the full testimony “God answered my question with a dream | Two years later I saw what He showed me in real life” here: youtu.be/7Rd1j5jtcvIYou didnt put them on your heart- God did❤️Jonathan & Jilliana2022-05-02 | We are naturally selfish human beings. Thinking of others and how we can love on them, is not OUR nature- Thats GODS nature. So when someone comes to mind or you have a positive thought about someone, TELL THEM🙌🏼 THAT is your opportunity to partner with the heart of GOD and express it in a very simple, yet potentially impactful way. God wants to let his beloved know that he SEE's them and CARE's for them and KNOW's them and their needs.
Psalm 139 says that's Gods thoughts for us outnumber the grains of sand on the seashore. That's a lot of love and value that he places on us. An ABUNDANCE of worth. Be his mouth piece and release love, hope, destiny and purpose into someone's life and situation. Don't worry about it being awkward or not know what to say- love is ALWAYS WORTH THAT RISK!❤️ Ler Papas simple "I love you" be released by even just that simple and intentional gesture of a text, call, coffee drop or an invitation for a walk. People LONG to be seen and recognized and valued- social media wouldn't be the multi billion dollar profit monster that it is, if that weren't true. We are ALL seeking validation and crying out "DO YOU SEE ME? DO I HAVE VALUE?" And they do- we all do. And through partnership with the insight and empowerment of the Holy Spirit, we can import Gods heart and another's value, into them. So reach out- it's worth it!God said this at the gym this morning and I just cried 🎯Jonathan & Jilliana2022-04-26 | ...Make Yourself Ready For King Jesus | A Dream About The Bride Of ChristJonathan & Jilliana2022-04-20 | God Just Gave Me This Dream: Make Yourself Ready For King Jesus and His return.
God gave me a dream two nights ago where I saw a man preparing an ointment which I knew was for me. For the rest of the night I repeatedly heard: "SHE IS MAKING HERSELF READY"
0:00 Intro (A dream from The Lord) 0:39 How to tell if a dream is from God 3:17 Jesus is coming back or you are going to Him "soon" 7:05 The marriage of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, in Psalm 45 8:36 His bride has made herself ready 9:23 The return of Christ and the marriage of the lamb 10:34 Revelation 19 11:50 The meaning of the dream from God and His prophetic message to the church 14:18 Don't get locked outside the Kingdom of God at Christ's return 15:18 How to be ready for the return of Jesus Christ
The plants the man who was preparing the ointment was using included aloe and another plant I didn't recognize. In this dream The Lord gave me just the other night, I knew it was like the expensive perfume Mary anointed Jesus with "for His burial"
When I looked it up I discovered that the bible prophecies the MESSIAH, the King we know now is the Risen Lord Jesus Christ, marrying a foreign bride.
I believe the Holy Spirit gave me this dream as an exhortation to myself and to the church to MAKE OURSELVES READY for the return of Jesus Christ and for the MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB.
I had no idea Psalm 45 talked about the marriage of the Messianic King Jesus, and that it specifically talked about the fragrance from an anointing of Aloes, Myrrh, and Cassia. So when I looked it up being inspired by what God was showing me in the dream from The Lord, I was astonished to read the entire song, Psalm 45, and understand the prophecy was about Jesus, the everlasting King, judging and overcoming His enemies, and seated on the throne with God forever, and marrying a bride who was called to come out from her original home.
The other part of the dream from God, the phrase I continued to hear all night, "she is making herself ready..." is from Revelation 19
In Revelation 19 John writes the prophecy of the Day of the Lord, when God will judge the world (or has judged the world) and His throne is established forever and ever through Jesus Christ. Then the MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB comes and He says that THE BRIDE has made herself ready.
I believe the Lord gave me this dream to share a message from the Holy Spirit, which is to MAKE OURSELVES READY, to consider ourselves crucified with christ in accordance with galatians 2:20, that it is no longer we who live, but christ who lives in us, and the live we now live in the flesh we live by faith in the Son of God who loved us and gave Himself for us.
God is calling us to COME OUT from living like the rest of the world in envy, strife, anger, idolatry, witchcraft, lust and perversion of call kinds, and all the other obvious works of the flesh. Paul says people who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God when Jesus comes back.
But through living in accordance with THE SPIRIT and ANOINTING God has given us through Jesus Christ, we MORTIFY the deeds of the flesh and bear the fruit of the spirit which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, meekness, faithfulness and self control.
We give as we have been freely given, we love as we have been freely loved, and in this way we make ourselves ready for the return of Jesus Christ and the marriage of the Lamb.The Lamb Slain From The Foundation Of The WorldJonathan & Jilliana2022-04-15 | Father and Son Build A Cross | Good Friday Cinematic Video
The Father and Son where together in the beginning, the said, "let us make mankind in our own image." They foreknew our rebellion and fall into sin and death, and they made a plan for that too.
In this GOOD FRIDAY cinematic video for church, the story of The Father and the SON creating the world and making the plan of salvation is portrayed as them building a cross. Good Friday is a day we stop and remember the suffering of Jesus Christ on the cross that was prepared for Him from the foundation of the world to make it possible for mankind to be restored into relationship with God.
The Father and son built the plan of redemption right into creation from the start. That is why He is called the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS GOD, He was with God in the beginning.
Every Good Friday we take time to meditate on the COST Jesus Christ paid for our redemption through HIS PASSION and His suffering. The Passion of Jesus Christ is when the Son of God fulfilled His purpose from the foundation of the world, which was to suffer and die in our place for the sin of the whole world. He came to set us free from slavery to sin and death. When we celebrate the passion of Jesus Christ on Good friday, we are taking the time to remember that the price of our redemption was SO HIGH. the Father and Son Building a world where mankind would fall and need to be redeemed meant building a cross for The Son of God to suffer and die on right from the start.

Does God only want SOME people to be saved? Did God choose me for heaven? Did God PICK you for hell?
Time stamps: 0:00 What is predestination and election? 1:16 The titles of Calvinism vs arminianism are wrong inherently 2:45 This is one of the biggest lies ever preached 4:09 Stop misrepresenting God 5:40 Predestination does not mean God is controlling everything 8:00 Biblical Proof God is not controlling everything 9:20 Taking Romans Chapter 9 out of context is the problem 11:45 There is no such thing as “Romans chapter nine” 13:04 Romans chapter 9 is NOT the big picture of God’s heart for the world, its the middle of the story 15:46 Why does Jesus not want people to repent Matthew 13:13? 17:34 Why did God harden people’s hearts if He wants all to be saved? 19:21 The mystery revealed in Romans Chapter 11 21:08 God has always loved the whole world, not a select few 22:53 Biblical proof you have FREE WILL and God has soveriengly given it to you 24:18 Election is according to God’s foreknowledge not His determination 25:14 Biblical proof God is not manipulating your free will 29:24 Why did God sovereignly allow the rebellion? 30:53 God created both Angels and mankind with free will 31:34 God sovereignly wants you to choose life and receive Jesus
Is it all just GOD’s WILL? I mean, man’s will doesn’t have the POWER to override God’s WILL does it? God is in control right? So does He WANT the children who have suffered and died to suffer and die? Does He WANT some people to go to hell?
Is that what PREDESTINATION and ELECTION means?
Does God just FEEL sending people to hell?
Maybe you have heard people use the terms CALVINISM and Arminianism or calling themselves Calvinists…
This is not about what Calvinists say vs arminians, this is about WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES
Besides, there is a problem with adopting these titles because Paul rebuked the church for beginning to say things like, “I am of Paul, and I am of Apollos,” rather than all being of CHRIST ALONE.
How much greater error is it to call yourself by the name of a man who is even FURTHER removed from Christ Himself. You are not to be called by ANY other name than Christ Himself and you are not to have ANY other teacher who’s teachings carry more wait than The Words of Jesus Christ.
So this is NOT a lofty theological debate, where we need to know the manmade terminology behind every manmade theology… Glory to GOD This is a simple matter of truth vs UNTRUTH
If the bible doesn’t back it up from cover to cover, YOU shouldn’t believe it, no matter how intelligent the argument or person sounds.
But IT IS STILL a serious PROBLEM and it HAS to be corrected in LOVE and this is why:
Anything we BELIEVE about God that is NOT TRUE ultimately hinders our relationship with Him.
“who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. “ 1 Timothy 2:3
If it is NOT who He IS then there is a gap between the REAL GOD and YOUR PERCEPTION OF HIM
The doctrine of PREDESTINATION according to FAVOURITISM is false and misleading
The blanket statement: GOD IS IN CONTROL is very MISLEADING This is an OVERSIMPLIFICATION of the SOVEREIGNTY of God
YES God is all powerful, yes God is sovereign and will hold everyone accountable,
But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him.
T The SPECIFIC problem I want to address is this idea of DETERMINISM The idea that GOD IS HARDENING SOME AGAINST THE GOSPEL because HE HAS NOT AND WILL NOT EVER CHOOSE THEM FOR LIFE BUT RATHER HE HAS PREDESTINED THEM FOR HELL ACCORDING TO HIS OWN WILL
They are taking the very real instances where GOD DID sovereignly harden the hearts of very few and very specific people for His ultimate purpose of making REDEMPTION through Jesus Christ possible
And trying to apply those moments of TEMPORARY hardening in an ETERNAL and UNIVERSAL way.
According to this misguided understanding of predestination and election, God didn’t just foreknow who would go to heaven and who would go to hell, He chose you for hell and YOU ARE ETERNALLY AND UTTERLY HOPELESS.
You cannot do an “EXEGESIS” on ROMANS CHAPTER 9 and end up with anything reliable, you have to interpret everything in the context of the entire letter.
So you have people reading Romans chapter nine where Paul talks about the hardening of hearts, and ignoring Romans 11 where Paul talks about God having MERCY on the exact same people He has just hardened in Romans 9
so many christians believe this lie about god the biggest lie preached did God pick me for hell? Did God Pick me for heaven? does God choose people for hell
can you escape your predetermined destiny Predestined for hell? the most confusing part of scripture destroying the case for favoritism with God does God pick who goes to heaven or hell this lie is prevalent in the church does god only want some to be saved god only wants some to be saved?
