This was a race for the soul of humanity…and with each lap, more and more people joined the race and started running…But no longer just gentiles - now it was Jews…I said to the Lord “the vale is truly being lifted…(Read Romans 11:25-26)

What does that mean for us?”


Then I heard the sound of a bell… the sound that you hear when a runner hits the final lap of a race…

And there were many people running…I sensed tension in the heavenly places: 

One after another, we entered the final lap - and each time the bell would ring. As a consequence, the bell didn’t stop ringing, but just kept on. And I heard “Last Call!”

This is a wake up call for the Gentile Church; 

This is the final time around: 

I saw nations and people groups I had not seen before…

Cultures and tongues I did not know (Matt 24:14)…

At the final bell, they entered into The Way, and joined the race with us (Matthew 20:1-16)…

And I felt the Lord saying to everyone, “Keep on! Don’t stop: 

“For the final lap is the one you must run the hardest:

Forsaking all else (Luke 9:23-24)…

Throwing off every burden (1Peter5:7)

And fixing your eyes on the Prize (Hebrews 12:1-3)!


The final lap is the moment where you MUST find strength that is not your own (2Corinthians12:9)…

Where you MUST realize that you can’t do it on your own…

And where My Church will truly understand that “man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God.” 

It is for this purpose, you have run this race…

So that I can bring you to this High Place - of weakness…

For where, except in your weakness could you ever really know Me - The True Power of My Grace…the Strength of My Salvation…?

Where else could you truly understand - My arm is NOT short that it cannot Save? ✝️ 

Beloved, you are going to need this”


Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.  He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years. Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you. Deuteronomy 8:2-5 

(Revelation 3:14-22)


I believe this is the time…

and what is our source?

Nothing,  but the Blood of Jesus

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 

Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

2 Timothy 4:7-8
