Hola Mi Amor y Mi HMA Familia!
Welcome back! Como estas? What are you thoughts so far about Parts 1 & 2? Do any of my personal experiences resonate with you? How does… Oh Lord! Hold up. I know I said go watch our sermon but I haven’t even give you the verses we were in smh! Help me Jesus LOL.
Read & Reference Scriptures: Revelation 12:1-17, Genesis 3. There are more but this will give you more direct insight from where both our sermon and my revelation was birthed.
Okay let’s get back into it!!!
Pt. 3 | A Revelation of the Times
In the beginning of this post series I began sharing with you about how scary the times are that we are living in and ended part 2 expressing that I now see the many ways that the enemy tried to take my mind and cripple my spirit throughout my life- BUT God! Jesus! I praise God for keeping me! People are always saying “God won’t give you more than you can bear” or the like. Well the Word says,
12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me. ~ Philippians 4:12-13
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings
12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it. ~ 1 Peter 5:6-12
Amen?! Well praise God. It is so extremely imperative especially in these current times that we take everything we hear, are taught etc. and bring it back to see if it lines up with the Word of God. By this I do not simply mean one verse. Please do your due diligence to not be deceived because deception seems to be at an all time high these days. Obokaybee, now that we have a foundation of truth, let’s continue on with my revelations.
Speaking of “the times” can provide multiple connotations and definitions especially from one person to the next. For this next topic I do mean the season as in Fall, in the U.S. Halloween “season” is a approaching, AND I also mean the state of our country, the world, the Church right now in 2026. We are living in scary times if your perspective is purely looking through the lens of your natural eye. Anytime without a Godly, heavenly perspective is scary for sure. I notice and see so much fear-based, drama-driven, savior-mentality, self-absorbed propaganda. Sheesh! Well that wasn’t a part of my original language, but I guess it needs to be said. Praise the Lord.
I am going somewhere with this. Just as the enemy uses people, he’s been plotting against you your whole entire life. When I was younger fear was something I unbeknownst to me why, that I gained an incredible appetite for. #Message I LOVED scary movies. I am an 80s baby so it did seem like back then that there was a plethora of scary movies. It’s like they were a phenomena. Son of the Blob, Chucky, Gremlins, Return of Oz, It, Garbage Pail Kids, all of the Pet Cemetery movies especially- I couldn’t get enough of them. Who else remembers these?!
I wanted to be scared. I was into fear! It was a conditioning. And maybe it was also an escape for the literally scary and terrible things that were actually happening to me and/or that I was indirectly experiencing in my life. It caused me to get used to gory images, death, perverted views of reality. It was definitely unhealthy and created some clear areas of numbness that was unnatural. I was so used to violence on the tv/movies, but I still had a soft heart that didn’t want to see people or animals mistreated or hurt in real life.
There were still many areas of my life where the visuals of those times could never penetrate my life, love and character. Yet no matter how you look at it, those sources of “entertainment” were seeds sown into my psyche as a little growing human being. The older I got the less this genre of movies appealed to me. It’s now been less than a decade that I no longer have a pallet for scary movies like that. Now a good suspense movie- that’s a whole other story LOL.
If you’re not familiar with any or even one of the ENDLESS testimonies that I have, you can just start reading some of my blog posts and you won’t have trouble uncovering more than you probably expected. I don’t look like what I’ve been through praise God!!! The Lord knows that whatever He brings me through that I will give Him all of the glory! From being a single Mami with all of the trials and tribulations that came with that, my Daddy issues, my baby Daddy issues, eating disorders, self-harm, suicidal ideations, sexual abuse, physical abuse, cancer 2x… and the list goes on. BUT God! He isn’t finished with me yet! And guess what?! I AM VICTORIOUS in Christ Jesus! Hallelujah!
Lord have mercy. I think I’m going to pause us right here family. The next and connecting subject I will be going into next absolutely needs it’s own space as I continue to connect all of the dots of this profound revelation I am already so eternally grateful for. Tonight at Bible Study it took me ev-er-eeee-thang to hold it together as my Pastor continued to scalpel his way through this chapter in Revelation. We ate so good tonight! My God! Man I’m so grateful. There’s no place I’d rather be.
Okay y’all I pray that you stay with me and continue on this rollercoaster ride of revelation with me. It is blessing my entire being so I must share it out with you as well. This good eating isn’t just served up for us to get spiritually fat- the whole point of our existence is to share God with everyone to the ends of this earth and be multiplying disciples spreading love. I don’t care who I reach. I’m not looking for people that only look like me or toward those I want to be in circles with. Y’all I just want Jesus and to share Him with anyone that will listen. We all need Him and we all need a fresh revelation of His love. Oh God how I thank You!
Well I’m pretty certain Pt. 4 will be dropping sooner than later in Jesus’ name. I had no idea or plan for this to be pouring out through 3 parts and beyond… Until next time family. Love God, love His Word and love all of His creation.
Love & Blessings,
Jana M. Gamble
