God’s word to His Remnant people
My name is Frank McEleny. I am from Scotland but have lived in Kansas since 1990. I believe that reformation is coming to the Church, I believe that it will start in my home country, as unlikely as that seems right now. Of course faith is the substance of things not seen. God has laid Scotland on the hearts of Spirit filled believers from all over the world. The time is coming when warriors will arise all over the world. Our weapons will not be the weapons of the world, we will not battle against flesh and bood, but we will be fearless warriors for God. Many times in centuries past Christians in Scotland have stood against authorities, principalities and powers and paid the price with their lives. Yet, what is death to the warrior born of God? He is already dead to this world and alive to the next. There is a growing movement around the world of hungry and thirsty children of God that He has driven into the desert. This will be the last great move of God. There will be new wine poured out, but not into old wineskins. This Remnant will come from every kind of background, the common denominator will be their hunger and thirst for the genuine presence of the Living God. If you are a saint in the wilderness, hang in there, God is teaching you complete dependence upon Him by stripping away every form of support that you know All that will be left will be you, God and the Remnant. Do not be discouraged by your situation or your circumstances, yield to them. You know that you are lonely, you know that you do not seem to fit in anywhere. You get no pleasure from anything anymore. You have lost your interest in the things of the world. What passes for “normal,” church has become a foul stench to you. You can see with your spiritual eyes that there is a crisis, but few seem to see it. Business as ususal is no longer an option for you, but you do not know where to go. No one seems to understand you. When you try and explain they just look at you like you are mad. You are not mad. God is calling you out.God is calling His people out. There will be a visable element to this calling out, but not yet. God will decide. So stay close to God, stay in His Word. If you can find like-minded brothers and sisters, that is good, but do not be discouraged if you cannot, just wait upon the Lord. He is doing a new thing. Read all of Isa 43, but know this..
Isa 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
God has spoken to us through the Prophet……………..
Amo 8:7The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. Amo 8:8Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. Amo 8:9And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: Amo 8:10And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. Amo 8:11Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: Amo 8:12And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. Amo 8:13In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
But He did not finish there. He has a Remnant and He will not abandon them. Here is His word to them, His promise that fulfills His Word that He would never leave us nor forsake us….
Amo 9:11In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: Amo 9:12That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this. Amo 9:13Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. Amo 9:14And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. Amo 9:15And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.

Warren said
I am living in a literal desert, in southern California, and all that you speak of regarding the Warrior and the Remnant here is true of me. Your word is a river of living water in a dry and thirsty land. I was just thinking today – either I am a deceived madman in disobedience to God, or I am of this Remnant, this Mighty Army, destined to perform great exploits by the power of the Spirit to the glory of the Father. Thank you for bringing clarity, peace, and rest. Be strong in the Lord; wait on Him. Yes, be stout and robust in heart, be brave; wait upon the LORD.
appolus said
Hi Warren, I am pretty sure you are not mad. Listen to what a brother wrote to me……………..Quote:
——————————————————————————–
Yes, but Ezekiel’s prophetic ministry spoke of “these days.” Otherwise, why would God cumber the Bible with something irrelevant?
“Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days” (Acts 3.24.
“These days,” speaking of the days following the sufferings and glorification of Christ… and the formation of the church.
Ezekiel’s prophecy– and you have to take the book of Ezekiel as one whole prophecy; it is all of one piece in my estimation– it has much to say to us. I mean, to US.
I listened to Brian Long’s message and found it good.
Perhaps it’s not all that easy to make a sweeping generalization that applies to all Christendom; I’ll just add my own testimony to that of others who feel the Presence of God isn’t with us as it once had been.
For the past few years I’ve been finding things increasingly difficult. Harder to enter that beautiful fellowship and communion of the Spirit that’s been so precious over the years, the one thing my heart beats for. A sense of barrenness. An inner sense of hardness, dryness. Hard to read; the word seems dry. Even harder to enter into prayer. God seeming to have hidden His face from me. It’s very difficult. Very painful. You get questioning… is there something wrong with me? Have I offended You, Lord? And the Enemy is there to nod His head knowingly. It’s a battle to keep from going under at times. You have to very steadfastly maintain your foundation of being “accepted in the beloved.” And He does draw close at times, giving reassurance.
And this is the testimony of others I know as well.
So I think what this young man ministered from on Ezekiel– about the Presence withdrawing– at least for myself and also among some I know, this is our experience also.
I know it’s an old testament prophecy, but it speaks loudly of New Covenant days. And Paul the apostle, as well as Peter, and Jude, all spoke of a time of great apostasy to come. As did our Lord Himself. Surely the implication is that even those who love the Lord and seek to hold close to Him would also be affected. (Those with a priestly calling are always called to go through the same things others, the people among whom they dwell, have to go through. Just one example: when God called for a drought and famine by the mouth of Elijah, the prophet himself had to go through it. It wasn’t easy sailing; it was very difficult… but God was faithful to his servant to “keep him alive in famine.”)
The encouraging thing, the beautiful thing, is that when we continue reading in Ezekiel– and as I said, his book must be taken as a whole– but as we continue reading, we discover that when the old “city” is destroyed and a New City and Temple comes forth, the glory of God returns– and by the east gate– the same gate by which He left. (Ezek. 43.2).
And when you read what unfolds as a result of this, with a River of Water being released from this New Temple, and growing, growing, growing, growing (four times) and fruit trees springing up along its banks (Ezek. 47.12) …suddenly we are right there in the last book of the Bible! (Rev. 22.1,2).
Awesome things are before us!
appolus said
Thank you ADiciple, another beautiful , honest, transparent ,mature and loving reply. And yes, the beauty of the famine and the drought is that it does end. That is wht Amos 9:11-15 is so important, for it follows on the heels of severe judgement.
Amo 8:10 And I will turn your feast into mourning, and all your songs into weeping; and I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head. And I will make it like the mourning of an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.
Amo 8:11 Behold, the days come, says the Lord Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land; not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Words of Jehovah.
Amo 8:12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the Word of Jehovah, and shall not find it.
Amo 8:13 In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst.
Amo 9:1 I saw the Lord standing by the altar. And He said, Strike the capital of the door, so that the thresholds shall shake; and break them on the head of all of them. And I will kill the last of them with the sword. Not one of them fleeing will flee, and not a fugitive of them will escape.
Amo 9:2 If they dig into hell, there My hand shall take them. And if they go up to the heavens, I will bring them down from there.
What is significant about this judgement is that the prophet sees the Lord standing by the alter. He is standing at the alter where most refuse to come to, this is the alter of sacrifice.He is removed from the mercy seat and stands at the alter of judgement.Listen to how Matthew Henry describes the scene………
“He stands on the altar, to prohibit sacrifice. Now the order given is, Smite the lintel of the door of the temple, the chapiter, smite it with such a blow that the posts may shake, and cut them, wound them in the head, all of them; break down the doors of God’s house, or of the courts of his house, in token of this, that he is going out from it, and forsaking it, and then all judgments are breaking in upon it. Or it signifies the destruction of those in the first place that should be as the door-posts to the nation for its defence, so that, they being broken down, it becomes as a city without gates and bars.”
Now, the beautiful thing about the conclusion of Amos is exactly the same as the conclsuion of Ezekiel. ADicple is right, you have to take these books as a whole. Listen to the conclusion of of Amos…………
Amos 9:11-15 (King James Version)
11In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
12That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.
13Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
14And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
Take note of verse 13 in particular. Now, it ties into exactly waht ADiciple was talking about….
“The encouraging thing, the beautiful thing, is that when we continue reading in Ezekiel– and as I said, his book must be taken as a whole– but as we continue reading, we discover that when the old “city” is destroyed and a New City and Temple comes forth, the glory of God returns– and by the east gate– the same gate by which He left. (Ezek. 43.2).

Awesome things are before us!”
Chritianity is certainly in a crisis right now. I would argue that it has never been at a lower state. Yet even when we are not faithful, He is. Yes, judgement begins at the house of the Lord, but the Lord is a Covenenant keeping God and always , always has His remnant. And His remnant always mourn for the “state of Israel,” for the state of His church, for the state of “David’s Tabernacle.” That is how they are identified in Ezekiel 9. They have eyes to see the spiritual state, the condition of those who call the name of the Lord their own. I believe , in part, that is why brothers like Deepthinker and ADisciple have been having such a hard time in recent years. Brothers and sisters from all over the world have been reporting the exact, and I mean the exact same thing. Yet I would say to all who mourn, all who would say as ADisciple says ….”For the past few years I’ve been finding things increasingly difficult. Harder to enter that beautiful fellowship and communion of the Spirit that’s been so precious over the years, the one thing my heart beats for. A sense of barrenness. An inner sense of hardness, dryness. Hard to read; the word seems dry. Even harder to enter into prayer. God seeming to have hidden His face from me. It’s very difficult,” that the lord is about to do a new thing.
Isa 43:1 But now so says Jehovah who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel; Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.
Isa 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; nor shall the flame kindle on you.
Isa 43:3 For I am Jehovah your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for you.
Isa 43:4 Since you were precious in My sight, you have been honored, and I have loved you; therefore I will give men for you, and people for your life.
Isa 43:5 Fear not; for I am with you. I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west.
Isa 43:6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Do not keep back; bring My sons from far and My daughters from the ends of the earth;
Isa 43:7 everyone who is called by My name; for I have created him for My glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
Isa 43:8 Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.
Isa 43:9 Let all the nations be brought together, and let the people be gathered; who among them can declare this and make us hear former things? Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, It is true.
Isa 43:10 You are My witnesses, says Jehovah, and My servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me no God was formed, nor shall there be after Me.
Isa 43:18 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.
Isa 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall sprout; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.
Ezekiel’s river is coming. No longer will His people be standing up to their ankles, or their knees or their waists, they will be fully immerssed in the river of life that flows from the throne of heaven. The ploughman shall certainly overtake the reaper………Frank

Dear Brother,
greetings! it is a wonderful encouragement and the truth of God.. i been going through the same tough time.no matter what.. we want to stand with the word of God to finish our race in the midst of trials and tribulations. Paul’s chains gave him contact not just with the Praetorian Guard but also with another group of people, the officials in the emperor’s court. We should be willing to say yes Lord not my will, but Yours be done.
God gave Daniel the vision, as a means of pointing to Christ’s future purpose of cleansing the Heavenly Sanctuary from all sin. Our characters thus must be purified by the sprinkling of the Blood of Christ. God’s remnant must put away sin, victoring over its demonic power, choosing to stand for Christ, wearing His righteous robe (Philippians 3:9-11, The righteous remnant’s robes must be purged and spotless, as they can be conquerors through the battle of evil, victoring over sin.then we will see the out pouring of the Holysprit upon our personal life.
stay blessed

Hi, I guess I must be one of the hidden ones. I live in the Northrern Isles of Scotland with husband and son, we left the church about 2 months ago – for the second time – and I have frequently wondered if I am mad, as no-one else seems to see the things we do or understand the reason why we left. I am greatly encouraged by the Lord’s words through you.

David said
Hello Friends,
My wife and I reside in a rural pocket (farm country) of Ohio, on a small farm with African pygmy goats, Nigerian dwarf goats, Golden Comet chickens, a 22-pound cat named “Freud,” a Miniature Dachshund named “Joybee the Wonder Dog,” and a kitten named “Kokomo.”
I have lived through 3 major movements over the past 29 years, having lived in different parts of the country. At this point, my wife and I have retreated into relative seclusion, having become deeply saddened over what I have long referred to as “the Americanized Church.”
I simply wish to say that I’ve been greatly encouraged by the dialogue I’ve found on your site. For we too thought we were representative of the “great falling away,” and thought our love had “grown cold.” Quite to the contrary, we love the Lord, but more and more see such toxic elements in the mainstream Church that we avoid such at all costs.
Thank you for your collective transparency–it has touched me deeply.
Sincerely,
David
appolus said
Oh brother David, what a joy to recieve your comment. God bless you and your wife. Not only are you not part of the great falling away, of course, but you are part of the Remnant to come. Your sensitivity to what has happened to the church is proof of your sensitivity to the presence of the Lord. Stay close brother, the ploughman is about to overtake the reaper. Now, it will come with persecution, but better to bask, fully immersed , in the river of life that flows from the throne with persecution, than to live a shallow compromised life……………..brother Frank
Victoria said
David: I too am in rural Ohio, with my husband. We too have been through some “movements” over thirty years. We too are misfits, wondering often if we are horrible people or crazy, because our lives seem to have ended up in such failure concerning church and relationships. We look around and see that what passes for Christianity today is not anything like the faith we were born again into and lived and preached for a long time, but seems to have gone off into various error-ridden streams. It is so hard to maintain a consecrated life; actually we have not, because it seems there is no fellowship of desire or accountability to do so. It seems wrong to stay away from “church”, yet it is grieving to sit quietly aquiescing to the false messages being given in them. Then if you do challenge the falseness, you are thrown out. Or you leave because it grieves your conscience. Does anyone pray anymore? Or witness to the world? Thanks for the fellowship on this site.
Our hope is in the Name of the Lord.
Victoria

Hi Victoria. It is very difficult to find a solid believeing church today. I would imagine, living in rural Ohio, that it would be even more difficult. I think if brothers and sisters can find good fellowship, they would fellowship. I live in a big city and it is almost impossible to find a church that has not devolved into , at the very least, lethargy. The presence of God, that Holy heaviness, the awe and the majesty, seems to have vanished away. The world in all its many forms seems to have invaded Christendom. To many, it lends towards the notion that the Lord is soon returning, that is my leaning. Perhaps not in my lifetime, but definately soon. Even if ot were 50 or 100 years from now, it would still be ” at the door.” The great falling away would still be in process f it were 50 or 100 years from now. I personally think it will be a lot sooner and that we are indeed living in the last days and in the very midst of the great falling away, perhaps towards the end of that process. I get much fellowhsip from brothers I have met along the way over the phone. I would rather they were here, close to me, but I will take what I can get 🙂 I love to talk to others who are passionate for Jesus and have been ruined for this life by encountering Him. I would encourage you Victoria that yes, there is Gods people praying and there is Gods people witnessing. There is a Remnant. The least that we can do ourselves it to encourage ourselves in the Lord and pray and witness ourselves. God bless you sister Victoria. May the Lord give you some fellowship and even where there are tow or three gathered together, there He is in the midst of us. God has His people who have not bowed down to the gods of this world. The gates of hell have not prevailed against them. There is still salt and light on the earth and we praise God for it………………… bro Frank
Elisabeth said
Have been blessed by all the foregoing input on this site – thankyou Frank and all my brothers and sisters..
This morning 10 February 2010 the Lord gave me this prophetic word which He has impressed upon me to share with you all..
“For I would search out the lost; I would lift the wounded; I would give comfort to the hurting and I would give answers where none lie..but My people are self-contained. They imagine they are doing My will but they are surrounded by myths and relics. By My Spirit I would enter into hearts but they are full of litany and vain repetition. Why should I work by My Spirit to bend those who do not want to change? I am able to do as I will, but hearts that are crying – I will hear and I will change. Hearts that are not satisfied, I will satisfy.Hearts that are real, I will perfect. Hearts that would be empowered,I will fill.
Are My workings able to be counted? Is there a plan of Mine known to the heart that is not quickened? Do I work in ways without number? Do My ways not move in the dark to issue forth great Light? For it is this Light Who changes dead hearts to living. I countenance the whole earth. I behold the clamour and the selfishness of man. I watch and listen and know that I am not part of his plan.I have a plan to overturn the works of darkness. The gross darkness will bow to My plan. There will be a shining forth of My Light that will spread across the earth, brighter than the rising sun.
There will be encounters in which My people will be victorious..but their hearts are far from Me in My desires and My plan. I am waiting for hearts that will be one with My heart; then, will issue forth those things that will identify fully with the action I have purposed for each one of My children.I do not work according to the plan of man. I am not limited to his over-seeing. I am searching for hearts to receive of Me – in ways that will astound the workers of iniquity. I will expose. I will not let the cries of My little ones go un-heeded. I will send forth My empowered army to deliver. I will, by My Spirit, encounter the encountered. I will forge new ways where the fine works of man have failed. I will break down the bulwarks and send My great army in. There will be deliverance for the captives of My people.
Do not think that ease of distraction is of Me, when there is such a weight of work that I purpose. Would you rest whilst I search for hearts that will receive of Me to give of Me? I am the One who prepares the willing for action. There is a dismantling and re-building and new works to be established in the hearts of My people – not according to how I am expected to work; I will move, but I will perform according to My plan in these days. There are so few hearts willing to stand still to receive of Me, but it is in this standing still that they will receive.
There is much `doing` throughout the earth. I behold the good works and intentions but they are like mists against the roar of the tide – unless My Almighty arm empowers, then My people will be driven and tossed. If they will stand still in their actions; if they will cry for their ears to hear My will from My heart for their way forward, then the calamities will fail, and My plan will cause a great recovery from the surge of evil on every side.
There is an end of self seeking when the battle cry is heard. There is an end of self indulgence and lethargy. So it will be with those hearts that cry night and day for My stirrings and My enabling and My empowering.
From My lofty place I see the runnings hither to and fro of My people. Do they not know that I have a set plan? Do they not know that I am the One who will set it in motion? By My Spirit I will perform all things that are in obeisance to My workings. I will blow on the erected platforms and scaffold towers; I will cause to crumble all that is not devised by the workings of My Spirit, for how will the workings of man resist the incoming surge of the seas? How will they stand? They will fall and be devastated. How will the fragile fortresses of man-made endeavours display strength against the invading darkness? As sand, they will crumble and fall flat.
I would empower My people by My Spirit, to build in unseen ways that nothing can destroy or undermine. If My people will cease from their own labours and hear My way forward – then they will be victorious and build according to My plan.”
Elisabeth.

Dear sister, I was greatly blessed by that word. It is so true, God is waiting on a people who simply cry out to HIm. Who seek Him in the night watches, who cry for Him in the wilderness, who long for nothing more than Him, who lay down all their plans and all their understanding and wait upon understanding for these, the final days. I am going to put this word in the post “A coming Reformation,” as well becuase I think it would be a good fit in there……..brother Frank
Robert Taylor said
Dear Brother
My name is Robert Taylor. I am a long time missionary in the central part of Mexico. I have been a missionary for 35 years. For 20 of those years i was with “orginized religion”. I left the church, and went independent 15 years ago, and have been an independant missionary in mexico for 10 years now. I have felt so alone here, and have wondered at times if i made a big mistake in leaving the orginized church, and have even wondered at times if i am a self deceived person. I just stumbled across this web site today, and have discovered that there are a multitude of people out there just like myself. It is amazing what Yahweh our God is doing in the world today. I will post often. For now i want to look at more of this amazing web site.
appolus said
Brother Robert, good to hear from you. Yes, there are many of us 🙂 We have been having revival conferences in different parts of the world and have met so many with the exact same heart, the Holy Spirit impressing upon His people. It is very often a lonely walk and one not well understood. Its a burden and a passion, the Lord has burdened His people for the state of His church. Every Tuesday night many of us gather on a phone conference call to pray for the revival or the reformation of the visable church. I pray that you will be blessed as you check out the site and please do post any comment brother……………..Frank
Taberah said
Frank: Is this ‘phone conference call to pray for the revival or the reformation of the visable church’ open or available to all??
appolus said
Hi Taberah, yes the call is open to all. This week Brian Long will open up. He was one of the speakers from the Wales revival conference. Greg Gordon of sermonindex.net opened up last week and Andrew Strom will open up the prayer meeting on the 6th April………brother Frank

You are thought provoking!

I agree, and balanced. When I do read articles online, I look for balance. This site is refreshing.
Peggy said
I just saw you mention Andrew Strom. I saw some people are talking against what he preaches. Some people are offended that he warns us that Christians in America are depending on politics to save our country. I have wondered for a while what to think. I would like to see what other believers have to say about what us Americans should be doing. people say rick perry are good christians-then I see he sways towards Islam. Our president was raised Muslim. Ron Paul is supposed to be good for our country and yet its been said he is against Isreal. I cannot stand the politics of Christians anymore-what to do?

Leonidas said
Christ is coming back soon. He has sent me to give the following message to His Church: The Lord God is calling His Church, the Body of Christ, together in prayer and worship. He is calling us to be the light in the darkness, and to minister to the widows and the orphans. The Lord is coming back soon for a Bride without spot and blemish.
I can confirm all that brother Brian Long has said in his video “Coming Persecution And The Baptism Of The Holy Spirit”. Judgement is beginning with the household of God. Repent and seek Him with all your heart and soul. The church must stand for Jesus and be the light in the darkness. It’s time now!

To maybe give you a better idea of who I am and where I am coming from…I find this article to fall in line with me….I have been in the wilderness for quite some time and so far its just been me and the Lord, its such an awesome feeling when His presence becomes manifest to me…though for must of the time I find myself being refined and spun on the potters wheel so I guess you might say I’m very aware of what is transpiring even though pretty lonely…but when you come right out and ask God to sanctify you that is just what He does when you totally submit to Him.

After reading about the “Remnant” on here, I feel as though another piece of the “puzzle of my life” has just been interlocked into place. God’s timing is amazing. While going through old papers three days ago, I came across words from the Lord to me that was my first post on here…was it really just yesterday? WOW. The words from the Lord were about a great darkness coming, however, I was not to focus on the darkness, but to focus on HIM. “Out of the blue”, it seemed, I decided to do a word search to see if anyone else was talking about the darkness and the light. Your site was the only one! I believe the Lord led me here. What I have read on here so far has been like water to my thirsty soul.

If I lived closer (we live in Ohio) it would be a wonderful experience, I am sure. Thank you so much for the invitation. I am definitely going to keep reading. I have spent several hours here today.

Thank you for your obedience to the truth! I praise God that He has led me to this site! I have left the church I was attending a few months ago after realizing what I was hearing was not at all what Jesus taught! I couldn’t understand why the people would get so excited when a famous preacher would show up as if he were Jesus Himself…I was utterly shocked when someone said “I actually got so close he touched my shoulder!” Are you kidding me? I kept saying “he is just a man” they would get a little flustered and then say “but he is our prophet” REALLY? and then when the Lord began to reveal to me that what was being taught was a very subtle New Age Thought teaching…well needless to say that was it for me! I ran from that place and that teaching. There are so many leaving that place but they quickly run to the next famous ministry. I refuse to follow a man or a woman or their ministries. Jesus said “follow ME” I have come out and I am very much standing for Truth! I am reading all of your articles and it is just so amazing to hear others saying the same things over and over again how they have left and how the Lord has led them to this wilderness place, but oh it is such a good thing! It is so good to know that we are not crazy, that we are not alone and that we are a part of His remnant! Glory to God! I had posted some truth on FB and was immediately attacked by people from the church I had attended! I knew that would happen, He said it would! So I just wanted to say that I am very grateful and Oh by the way there are those who are very cautiously and secretly calling me, because they are saying that the Lord has been speaking to them and they are sensing something is just not right with what the pastors are teaching there…well I tell them the truth and tell them to go to the word for themselves it is that simple. If you ask HIM, He shall surely answer and HE will not leave you alone in this, even though at times you feel like you are alone…really you are not! I have shared your articles with them and they come back saying “Oh this is what I am hearing in my spirit!” Many questions are being answered and confirmed here. Praise God something huge is happening! Bren

Dear Bren, praise the Lord that He is leading and guiding you, who better to do this? The Lord will use all of us who love the truth and who are willing to follow it wherever it would lead us. It may cost us friends, it may cost us a time in the wilderness, but better to be in the wilderness with Jesus, better to go where He leads, that to be any other place. As long as we always speak the truth in love then we cannot go wrong. There are so many saints around this country and the world that the Lord is speaking to and bringing out. I would argue that He is coming back soon and He has begun to separate the sheep from the goats. This who know and love His voice and His presence will follow that voice and His presence and the Word of God, they will not follow men, praise the Lord.
We are having some remnant meetings in Oklahoma, July 12-14. No big name speakers, we desire only that the Lord grace us with His presence. You, dear sister and any other brother and sister are more than welcome. We will be sharing on the attributes of God, who He is with other like minded believers who have come out…………….bro Frank

Thank you for this encouraing word. A sister in the Ph. sent this along to me. She and I have been speaking words of repentance and judgement on America. Wanted to write a quick thanks before I proceed with reading the rest of your material.
Peace,

appolus said
HI sister Derdrie, I am glad that you have been encouraged. I pray that the Lord will further encourage you as you speak words or repentance and judgement to America, undoubtedly the Lord is making straight the path in and through His children for His return for His bride……….bro Frank
Andrea said
The only thing I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you… Take a looking at http://www.wor.org (Word of Rightousness)…They are part of remnant as well and it is worthy to be in touch with.
God Bless You All.

Hi Brother Frank, I too am from Scotland and see also the decline of the Chuch at large here in the U.S. My wife and I live in Florida now but still have a heart for Scotland and His body there. I certainly relate to the wilderness, it seems we have been there a long time but Bless God He has kept us and encourages us through His word,as for like minded people they are few and far between. Anyway keep up the good work brother, your brother from Scotland Eddie Scott of Victory Ministries Florida.

Lana said
Hi Frank,
Your post really spoke to me and encouraged me. I don’t find many that brings tears to my eyes and a deep yearning for this to come. Your post explained that I am not the only person out there that doesn’t seem to fit in to the norm. Much of the time I feel as if I am different and they don’t get the urgency of the times we are in. Thank you for your encouragement.

Dear Brother,
I am so very thankful for finding this site. I live in Texas in the “Bible Belt” . I have been out of organized church for years, learning to follow the Lord and cooperate with His purging. It is painful, the rejection, the condemnation from others, who don’t understand. It is His true blessing. I am so thankful to the Lord !!!
Praises to His Blessed name forever !!!
appolus said
God bless you sister. I agree that rejection is very painful, it gives us some idea what the Lord must have felt to be rejected by His own. Yet we walk in the blessings of knowing the Lord, nothing can change that…………….bro Frank
Ralph Michaels said
These words are touching my spirit. This speaks of me !!! I am not of this world. I have never fit in. As much and hard as I have tried to be worldly I am empty. My only desire now is Jesus. I am a bond servant of my Lord Jesus. I am a brother in the Remnant Church. Praise Jesus ✝️

Gid bless you brother……bro Frank.
Nafissa said
Wow. I am so encouraged just by reading this. I have been wondering for some time now what is going on with me. Nothing seems to go my way, I do not fit anywhere not even in my family, it seems as though everyone has deserted me. Even my local Church I have been pulled out from. Now I see that I am in the wilderness and that God is doing a new thing. I thought I was alone going through this but now I see that it is not the case. His name be glorified.
Thank you brother.
appolus said
There is indeed a wilderness place for the genuine saint. There are many remnant saints that have followed the call to “come out from among her.” God bless you Nafissa……bro Frank
