Thread: Concerning the post about my April 8th reval belief.

I have personally thanked DocDave via PM but I would like to also thank all of our great members here at RolClub for being so kind and respectful of DocDave. I am, to say the least, proud of the way this info was received and the responses to it. Thank you all!!!!

Ms papa02: Thanks so much for sharing your story. Little do we realize how many of us have similar experiences. What wonderful support we have on this forum.
Blessings to you

As much as I enjoy reading the news and rumors regarding the RV, I have enjoyed this thread the most. Thanks for your boldness and, you're example. I can't wait to give him the first fruits of this investment. He can do so much with a little and, there's much more than a few loaves of bread and fish coming. Let's hear it for Kingdom building!

Hey mama2,

Thanks for stepping out and sharing your personal story with Carol and all, I was hoping you would.

You guys are a living testimony of the love of God on his earth. Through your loving, caring, giving heart, God was able to reach out and touch the lives of these three very special children, plus the many, many more that he touches through you everyday.

Through you and papa, God has given your three children a home, a loving and caring mama and papa, and God has shown them the love of Christ that is in your heart by the actions you take. And through your love for others, God is healing your broken heart and filling its void.

Thanks for reminding us that love is a commitment and an action verb, and not just a warm tingly emotion.

You two are awesome!

Carol,

You had 21 wonderful, loving years with Paul and now you’re left with a lifetime of memories. The void in your life must be like looking into an abyss. Well I’ve got good gospel news, Jesus can and will fill that void and heal your life too, just like he is doing in mama & papa’s life.

No, he will never replace Paul and you will always think of Paul and look forward to the day you will be together again. But that deep aching void, the depression, the hopelessness that you feel, the Lord can and will heal that part of your life. Jesus will restore your joy and give you the desire to live again… Not just to exist.

Keep praying and keep leaning on him. And if you haven’t started yet, do like mama & papa, reach out through your pain and help others. Ask the Lord to lead you to hurting people and be the Lord’s hands and feet, reach out and wrap these people in the love of Christ.

This is not just a physical exercise that will make you feel good about yourself, it is a spiritual principle that will set the laws of God in motion, you reap what you sow.

Ask the Lord to use you, then get up and wipe way the tears of your personal pain and go out and tend to your Heavenly Father’s business and He Will Most Certainly Tend To Yours. Don’t be afraid to reach out in love, because the Bible says that love conquers all.

It’s going to be worth it all, some beautiful, happy day!

Yours in Christ,
David

For the last two weeks the Lord keeps putting the story of the famine in besieged Samaria on my heart. He keeps reminding me that no matter how impossible or improbable it may look, the reval will happen and it will be a sudden thing just like what happened in this story. 2 Kings 6:24

Best to read chapters 5-7 to get a better picture of what was going on.

Let’s see if I can make a long story short.


2 king 6:24 Some time later, Ben-Hadad king of Aram (Syria) mobilized his entire army and marched up and laid siege to Samaria. 25 There was a great famine in the city; the siege lasted so long that a donkey's head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter of a cab of seed pods for five shekels.
26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, "Help me, my lord the king!"

27 The king replied, "If the LORD does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?" 28 Then he asked her, "What's the matter?" She answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we'll eat my son.' 29 So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, 'Give up your son so we may eat him,' but she had hidden him."


Like I said, long story short version.


2 Kings 7
1 Elisha the prophet said, "Hear the word of the LORD. This is what the LORD says: About this time tomorrow, a seah of flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria."

2 The officer on whose arm the king was leaning said to the man of God, "Look, even if the LORD should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?"
"You will see it with your own eyes," answered Elisha, "but you will not eat any of it!"


The Syrian army had surrounded Samaria for months. The people were starving and eating their own children, paying 80 shekels of silver for a donkey’s head. Things had looked hopeless for months then the Lord said tomorrow at this time you will be able to buy a sack of flour and two sacks barley for one piece of silver.

How impossible and improbable must that have sounded? This is what the Lord keeps reminding me of, when he sets a time and season for a thing to happen, it will happen swiftly when we enter into His’ season.

(Why would God allow his people to suffer so much? The king of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and lead the children of Israel away from God.)


The Siege Lifted

2 kings 7:3 Now there were four men with leprosy [d] at the entrance of the city gate. They said to each other, "Why stay here until we die? 4 If we say, 'We'll go into the city'-the famine is there, and we will die. And if we stay here, we will die. So let's go over to the camp of the Arameans and surrender. If they spare us, we live; if they kill us, then we die."
5 At dusk they got up and went to the camp of the Arameans. When they reached the edge of the camp, not a man was there, 6 for the Lord had caused the Arameans to hear the sound of chariots and horses and a great army, so that they said to one another, "Look, the king of Israel has hired the Hittite and Egyptian kings to attack us!" 7 So they got up and fled in the dusk and abandoned their tents and their horses and donkeys. They left the camp as it was and ran for their lives.

8 The men who had leprosy reached the edge of the camp and entered one of the tents. They ate and drank, and carried away silver, gold and clothes, and went off and hid them. They returned and entered another tent and took some things from it and hid them also.

9 Then they said to each other, "We're not doing right. This is a day of good news and we are keeping it to ourselves. If we wait until daylight, punishment will overtake us. Let's go at once and report this to the royal palace."

10 So they went and called out to the city gatekeepers and told them, "We went into the Aramean camp and not a man was there—not a sound of anyone—only tethered horses and donkeys, and the tents left just as they were." 11 The gatekeepers shouted the news, and it was reported within the palace.

12 The king got up in the night and said to his officers, "I will tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know we are starving; so they have left the camp to hide in the countryside, thinking, 'They will surely come out, and then we will take them alive and get into the city.' "

13 One of his officers answered, "Have some men take five of the horses that are left in the city. Their plight will be like that of all the Israelites left here—yes, they will only be like all these Israelites who are doomed. So let us send them to find out what happened."

14 So they selected two chariots with their horses, and the king sent them after the Aramean army. He commanded the drivers, "Go and find out what has happened." 15 They followed them as far as the Jordan, and they found the whole road strewn with the clothing and equipment the Arameans had thrown away in their headlong flight. So the messengers returned and reported to the king. 16 Then the people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. So a seah of flour sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley sold for a shekel, as the LORD had said.

17 Now the king had put the officer on whose arm he leaned in charge of the gate, and the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died, just as the man of God had foretold when the king came down to his house. 18 It happened as the man of God had said to the king: "About this time tomorrow, a seah of flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria."

19 The officer had said to the man of God, "Look, even if the LORD should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?" The man of God had replied, "You will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it!" 20 And that is exactly what happened to him, for the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died.


Keep the faith, I believe we are about to enter into God’s season and this thing will happen swiftly!

Hi Wherbie,

I agree, thanks for sharing your awesome personal testimony I love to hear of his goodness and see someone lifting up his holy name.

Suddenly!

The last couple of days the Lord keeps putting the word suddenly in my spirit. The closer April 8th gets, the stronger my faith grows that it will happen and it will happen suddenly.

Keep the faith!
