Brethren,
I have been writing articles for quite a few years. It has been my joy to have done this for the Lord. I cannot fully express my love for each and every one of you.
I never even considered myself a writer until my sister in the Lord, Cindy Nuara, encouraged me to send my testimony into Raptureready.com. That was the beginning of a ministry for which I was so grateful to the Lord. It started with Raptureready; then I was a feature writer for Nowtheendbegins.com. Then I made this website where I house all of my articles.
I have met so many wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ here and through Raptureready and NTEB. I would always pray for at least a couple of days, asking the Lord what He wanted me to write about. Also I prayed to Him that He would help me with each article.
My Family
I’m pretty sure that we are not alone in the struggles of our families against Satan and his demonic forces. We have a grandson who has had more hardships in his short 19 1/2 years, than most people have in a lifetime.
A biological father who wanted nothing to do with him – then he found the closest thing to a real father and loved him dearly, but that marriage would end and our grandson would once again be plunged into deep depression.
If that were not enough, this young man would come close to death when he was 14. He had type 1 diabetes and we nearly lost him. He spent over a week in PICU at John Hopkins until he was stable enough to come home. Since then, his life revolves around insulin and needles every day to keep him alive.
He now is in a very dark place. I’ve written to him to assure him of the love we all have for him and that we will be standing with him through whatever comes. I told him to never forget how much Jesus loves him.
Baptism
When he was a young boy, we would take him to church with us every Sunday. He saw a boy his own age get baptized. He told me when we got home that he wanted to be baptized. A couple of years before this, he told me that he wanted to know that he was saved. We had just watched “The Jesus Film” project before he asked me this.
I went through everything with him to be sure he knew what being “born again” really meant. Also, I spoke to him about repentance and agreeing with God that we are all sinners in need of a Savior – Jesus Christ. I felt that he understood the Gospel and I could see that he was so ready to repent and trust the Lord and His finished work on the Cross for his salvation. I prayed with him that day for his Salvation.
My husband and I were on the praise team at this church. Our grandson was sitting toward the front, and I told him that we would be back as soon as worship was over. My heart sank when I saw the pastor sliding in beside him, and our grandson’s countenance changed from ‘joy’ to a look of horror. When I sat down beside him, he asked if we could just go home. He had tears streaming down his face, and the three of us did leave the service. I was so worried about him.
He was told by the pastor that Baptism means death
I had contacted this pastor after our grandson expressed his desire to be baptized, and I know that pastors like to talk with people before baptism to make sure they understand. In the car ride home, through tears our grandson kept saying “Grandma, I don’t want to die when I’m baptized!” I assured him that he would not die physically. I told him that baptism illustrates the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus. I told him that being baptized was an outward expression of our belief and devotion to the Lord, and it a powerful witness to the unsaved who come to watch.
I also told him that Jesus did ask those who were born again to be baptized in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Nothing I said was helping. He had been traumatized by the pastor’s words. This pastor came to our house and apologized that night. He admitted to me that perhaps he didn’t use the right words. I asked him if he would tell our grandson the truth about Baptism. Our grandson lived with his mother so he was not in our home when the pastor came. That pastor never reached out to him to make things right. Our grandson never wanted to go back to church with us.
Our Daughter
Our daughter was molested by a lesbian – one of the helpers in the youth group of a “Seeker” church we unwisely joined because we had heard about a dynamic youth ministry. It turned out that they did not vet the prospective volunteers – not even to see if they were true Christians! Our daughter to this day will not attend a church because of this trauma.
More Struggles
For the last 5 years, it has been a non stop struggle against the enemy. My health has deteriorated – heart problems and many other things. But my family is most important and God spoke that to my heart.
I used to write my articles from morning until night. Now I will use the time to be in God’s Holy Word, and to pray for my family, and to do whatever I can for all of them. My three children fell away during college, so I do have a lot to pray about. And I believe that every prayer which goes up to the Lord – He hears and will answer.
Once last thing
Brethren, I have been sounding the alarm for quite some time that persecution is coming to Christians in America. Many do not want to believe this, but I am telling you the truth. Satan is working like never before to silence the Christian witness.
We are being banned from most social media. This will continue and get much worse. And believe me when I say this: If the so-called “Equality Act” is passed and if the Left take back the White House, I believe that we will be placed in re-education camps and possibly even worse if we are still here.
Why would American Christians be spared of persecution when our brothers and sisters in places like China, North Korea and the Middle East are being arrested and killed? God has held back intense persecution and His placing Donald Trump as our president did give us more time – a reprieve.
Leaders of the U.N. have said that the only thing holding back the NWO is a strong America. If the Left take our White House and our Senate, we can expect incarceration and a nationwide gun grab.
I am not telling you these things to scare you but to “prepare” you.
We ALL must be on our knees, asking God to save the unsaved in our families and also asking Him for strength to endure what is coming. We must get our own homes and our hearts right with God.
Don’t think that God does not see everything going on – He does. And God does NOT wink at Sin. We are not perfect – we won’t be until we receive our glorified bodies. But it you are living IN sin – that is vastly different from falling into sin and repenting of that sin and asking God to forgive us and cleanse us. You must realize that if you had the Holy Spirit living within you, He would convict you of your sinful lifestyle and you would be miserable.
Do not believe for a minute that a “prayer” you said years ago, but continued to live IN sin, will help you on Judgment day. God knows each of our hearts and He is not mocked.
Please pray that I will hear clearly if I am to return to the writing ministry. But as for now I truly believe that the Lord wants me on my knees for my family, my friends and my country.
Shalom b’Yeshua
MARANATHA!!
Reblogged this on Logos Speaks.
In prayer for you and your family. May the Holy Spirit Speak to you clearly so you have no doubt. Yes. God first then family.
Praying for you and your family, your articles will be very missed. But I’m glad to know that there are years worth of them for me to go read backwards through!
I’ve been following you for a long, long time. I, too, am very outspoken for the Lord and His ways. I am a strong intercessor, trained spiritual warfare warrior etc etc etc. People like us are at the top of satan’s list. I’m constantly on my knees in my head for my 36 year old “fallen behind soon and his 3 and 9 year old sons. He and wife don’t pray with them, don’t watch their language or what they watch on TV around them, etc etc etc. The 9 year old was molested on the school bus when he was only 5 by older young boys and the school did nothing about it and his mom didn’t even cry when I had to be the one to tell his parents that he had shared this with me. I could go on but I won’t, you KNOW the pain.
My heart is broken for you and you and your family will be in my prayers daily. I know Abba knows your pain and is working for your good. I know He loves our children and grandchildren even more than we do. I love you, sister in Christ, and I pray for our protection and for clear discernment for both of us, in Jesus’ previous and powerful NAME!

Sure will miss your articles Geri. Obedience is better than sacrifice! Oh how I pray for your family, and mine! There is such a growing community who are so aware of the Soon coming, Shout, voice of an archangel and trump of God! The Lord bless you and keep you!
Bless you dear Margaret!
You must do what god has ask of you. Maybe it will bring Him closer to us all. Come Lord Jesus…Come!
I will greatly miss your posts, but drawing near to God Almighty is always good for a person. I pray the Wisdom of God pours into you as you spend in His Word and Presence.
Not knowing you before this post, I cannot speak to what you have written before now. My comment is to encourage you to continue in HIs Word and prayer. His Spirit works through these all He wants us to do for His kingdom. Please read A Sheep’s View, a page on my blog to see how the Lord has worked and is still working through my life. There is no doubt that we can expect persecution. Until then, we must prepare through the battles we are facing already. Remember, Jesus said that these will take place in our own families. I will pray for you to know His presence and power in your own life as a witness to your family and others. Blessings as you wait and trust Him.
Don’t stop! You have no idea this side of heaven how God is using your writing, One day, perhaps very soon, you will see how effective your faithfulness has been. Don’t stop!
Your writings will be very much missed. I have a list of Christian websites I check everyday to find out the truth of what is really going on. Your website is one that I go to daily and read. I am hoping you do not stop writing, but if you do, I do understand.
I would ask one thing. Please leave your website intact if possible. Even if you don’t write new articles, the information in your archive is invaluable. Please leave the website up.
Geri, I have very much appreciated your blogs for the past months, and I pray that the Lord will bless and guide you in whatever way that He has planned for your life at this point. Thank you so much for all you’ve done! Dorothy Addington

Wow so much…I’m praying for your family.
Your articles have changed my life.
Praying for you Geri
Isaiah 54:17 – No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD.
Oh, Geri ! I just found you again! I was so thrilled to come across your site just this week and was so happy. I remember you from NTEB and wondered what happened. I remember that your husband was so ill with cancer and prayed for him often AND for you. I thank you so much for your devotion to truth and your love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am always thrilled to read or meet Messianic Jewish believers. It is such an honor! I am so impressed with your testimony. Thank you so much for sharing it.
I understand your love and need to concentrate on your dear family in prayer. I and many, many others will be praying alongside you. I also have prayer needs for my family members, AND that I will be able to STAND FIRM in these days of satanic oppression. However, I KNOW that GOD is in control and will never leave us or forsake us. Yes, our prayers will not return void.
Thank you for all of your warnings. Thank you for your love for the unsaved. You are so precious to God and to all of us who have read your articles.
In Christian love,
Susan Hounshell

Geri,
We are of like mind regarding the times we are in. I know that for the last several years on my own blog I have been strongly led to write on topics of survival: spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional, along with other topics as the Lord leads. Thank you for stopping by at times.
My sister (who just left an abusive marriage, praise God), prays daily for the Lord to “keep (her) awake, aware, and alert, and to lead, guide and direct (her).” In a way, I think this is a pray for our times.
God bless you and your family,
Phyllis
Bless You
