“Petra’s ‘Grave Robber’ Song Is Even MORE Relevant Today!” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©12/12/2024

Even though we have so many churches on almost every street-corner, churches seem to speak less and less about something that should be a MAJOR part of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ – the ‘End Times’ Great Tribulation. There are some churches and even whole denominations that don’t believe that the Christian Holy Bible’s book of Revelation is to take place in REAL TIME in humanity’s future. They claim it is an allegory, misinterpretation, or even something that shouldn’t have been included at all. Maybe they should read the Christian Holy Bible again, because there are MANY of the other books in the Christian Holy Bible that speak of it TOO. Some people get bent out of shape about claiming that God Almighty the Creator would ever do what it says in Revelation because it is against the narrative of Grace or Love.

While I understand this human mentality, I also know that God Almighty the Creator is the God of Justice as well as of Love. This is the reason that He sent His Son aspect into Mary to become Jesus Christ in sinless human flesh to DIE FOR US! God Almighty the Father casted His anger, hatred, and any other negative emotion His Father aspect has about sin that His perfect nature has that requires Justice – not onto us individually as would be merited by our actions but onto JESUS CHRIST instead – His One and Only Begotten-Son that came to know what humanity felt like so He could be the most impartial judge in the end of time judgment for all those who refuse to receive this supernatural pardon by accepting what Jesus Christ did for us unilaterally while needing EACH ONE of us to personally accept HIM as YOUR SAVIOR.

THAT is the greatest LOVE ever shown in all of human history even if people don’t believe it. God Almighty the Creator wanted to give the answer to our sinful situation BEFORE Adam was created, and Jesus Christ was the aspect that would be the answer for each human IF YOU WILL ACCEPT HIM! This is the ONLY WAY for anyone to escape from what WILL happen AFTER the last person to be saved by Grace and through Faith happens AND the last Jewish citizen returns to Israel that needs to be there when the Rapture occurs – the other moment ALSO NOT accepted by some that is to be BEFORE the Great Tribulation begins. Those who HAVE believed in Jesus Christ as Savior will be REMOVED SUPERNATURALLY from this Earth dimension to NOT be here for the twenty-one judgements that WILL COME.

If I hadn’t spent forty years studying the Christian Holy Bible teachings on my Faith and eschatology, read many history books old and new, and compared various scientific discipline findings and how the documented ones matched the historical and biblical accounts, then I would question ‘End Times’ too; but I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior when I was eight years old and received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of Speaking in other Tongues at thirteen, and that allowed the Lord to use me to give the Messages in Tongues several times in services and Interpretation in Tongues once too. This is NOT something you can learn. It is completely Spirit-given and something you don’t control. Even so, the feeling when the Holy Spirit fills you, blesses you, and uses gifts through you feels like LOVE overflowing!

Some Christians seem to fear the Baptism of the Holy Spirit for some reason that I still can’t understand after over fifty-two years. Even though I was raised by an Assembly of God believing Mom, she wasn’t raised in that denomination. She’d actually had a brother that was a Baptist minister. We both always believed that as long as someone accepted Jesus Christ as personal Savior then that person was our brother or sister in Christ. ‘End-Time’ prophecies tell about Holy Spirit power falling on Christians for a final world-wide Revival that could happen at any time. It seems to have begun in more than one place on a smaller scale. The thing that seems to be interfering with this happening is the perceived disinterest of Christians when it comes to noticing what is happening around the world that points to us being closer now than before.

This is not meant to be some doom-and-gloom message; it’s meant to be informative to get through to those who are to be part of this rise of Christians who allow God Almighty the Creator to overflow them with a restoration that will lead to many others to begin longing for it so the last harvest of souls happens as the Christian Holy Bible prophesied. It sometimes seems like churches are so comfortable that they don’t want anything to interrupt their well-planned services even if that interruption could lead to a salvation. Salvation doesn’t seem to be the focus of some Christian churches in 2024! Salvation through Faith in Christ is the ONLY reason for a Christian church! The Holy Spirit gifts are meant as a sign to some that need that in these times to believe at all. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ is the REASON for Salvation.

“Where is the sting? Tell me, where is the bite? When the Grave Robber comes like a thief in the night. Where is the victory? Where is the prize? When the Grave Robber comes and Death finally dies!” Having just lost Mom Vada this year, this song reminds me of the HOPE I have in CHRIST that will let me see her again if I keep my Faith in Jesus Christ and share Him with as many as I can to help them escape what IS COMING. Jesus WILL BE the Grave Robber when He comes in the clouds someday soon to take ALL believers away supernaturally before the Great Tribulation period begins, first by resurrecting those from the dead and then transforming those still alive to join the others to finally go home to Heaven for seven years at the Judgement Seat of Christ for rewards until finally time for the Battle of Armageddon.

I don’t want ANYONE I can reach to be LOST! I honestly believe this with every single molecule of my being! I’m not delusional. I’m not an idiot either. I AM an intellectual who will NOT believe lies that are being thrown out to people to blind them from the ABSOLUTE TRUTH. I plan to write my first nonfiction book – BEFORE ADAM: A PROPOSITION OF POSSIBILITY. If that doesn’t get finished then I want to put the main point I want to make in it before it’s too late: Aliens are NOT our progenitors. Aliens are fallen angels or a new type Nephilim (giants). These beings might no longer be made from actual sexual contact but plain genetic manipulation. Area 51 might not be alien phenomenon; it might be interdimensional ‘beings’ funded by the deep state that are called ‘aliens’ but are demon-born.

For more information on how proof of this possibility isn’t a fantasy read these Christian books that share the reality of these FACTS: BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL by Dr. Peter S. Ruckman; JUDGMENT OF THE NEPHILIM by Ryan Pitterson; WHAT THE OLD ONES SAY by Chief Joseph RiverWind. While I know this sounds unbelievable, it truly is the Great Deception that we need to keep our wits about us to not give into these blatantly false ‘proofs’ that the science communities will try to thrust upon humanity either right before the Rapture or right after it. THIS IS SERIOUS. Jesus warned us about false prophets, teachers, and all other groups that society will follow without any compunction. As Christian believers or those who will soon become one, we MUST read the Bible and guard our minds against this all.

You can know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior if you will believe in what the Christian Holy Bible says and pray, “Heavenly Father of Creation, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus Christ is the only Son of God who was born of a virgin to have blood untainted by a human father with sin. I believe He was without sin, lived a sinless life, died on a Cross for humanity’s sin, was buried, rose again, and then ascended to Heaven to wait until time to supernaturally rescue believers before the Great Tribulation happens. Forgive me for my sins, help me to reach others for You, and show me those that need to find their way to You. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen!” You can read Christian Holy Bible at: https://www.blueletterbible.org/nlt/rom/8/1/s_1054001 to begin in Romans 8. Blessings Wished! TCK

“SHAKIN’ THE HOUSE IN 2024” OP-ED

By Tonja Condray Klein©01/25/2024

I have been wounded by the Christian church several times. I was
betrayed by some I trusted with all that I am, and that is not something a believer in Jesus Christ can quickly heal from to trust others again. If you’ve known me for any time at all then that might surprise some since I’ve been in church for most of my life. That’s a part of what makes something like this hurt so much. You think that you’ve found your church FAMILY to joyfully worship with, think are actually friends, and personally adopt into your Faith life; but then they suddenly reject the main things you shared with them as your God-Given calling with Gifts you have no doubt God Almighty gave to you for HIS purpose to reach the lost that so many others seem to ignore. It hurts more than about anything the world itself could do to you personally.

Some might simply say that I need to pray, forgive, and move on. That’s easy to do if you don’t actually care for those that used to be part of your world that you had to walk away from just because of the actions of a few or even one. I HAVE forgiven and I KEEP praying. I can’t help but wonder if this is not just happening to me but also the reason WHY the real Revival hasn’t happened in churches yet. It might be. Such hurt between those all supposed to be serving the same God Almighty of Creation Who gave His Son Jesus Christ for humanity might be what the REAL enemy (that is SATAN) could be using right now. Hatred between church denominations, races, political parties, and any divisions used could be the ploy of the destroyer of this world if the True Church doesn’t WAKE UP and REACH OUT to ALL who are LOST!

The song “Thankful Heart” by Petra came into my heart on January 8th, and that led me to listen to their album “Back to the Street” from 1986.
The song name of this Op-Ed’s title hit me like a ton of bricks! Russ Taff’s song “Shake” has always been one of my favorites to instill the need to pay attention to what’s going on in this world at any given time. Petra’s song reminded me that the ‘Shake’ is going to begin with the house of God… to the real Church of the Lord Jesus Christ! How many believers are ready for that? Do we understand what it could really mean? Petra’s song makes it really clear that we might not understand WHY some things are happening, but maybe it’s WHY some (or even most) are blind about it right now. It breaks my heart since even
though I’ve been hurt I don’t want ANYONE to be lost by dismissal.

Since 2020 so many have lost family, friends, and loved ones due to
Covid-19, and that loss has maybe hardened the hearts of people to an all-time stone condition. That’s also the reason WHY we all need to reach out to each other in a kind and understanding way of other’s burdens so that healing can begin. If we don’t get our own Houses in order then the final Revival might NOT happen before the Rapture takes place. Do any of us really want to see people be lost and go to Hell because of hurt feelings, unresolved anger, or festering revenge just because some Church person failed to help you? I DON’T! I don’t
want to be the reason why a single person refuses to accept Jesus Christ as Personal Savior, Lord, King, and God Almighty! No matter what happened to me or how upset I’ve been, I CHOOSE to forgive ALL who hurt me.

THAT is part of the ‘Shakin’ the House’ that some might not understand. Many view it as getting more ‘religious’ for the sake of seeming ‘Godly’ to others but without honest spiritual growth. It seems like the majority isn’t even paying attention to the heart of the real ‘shaking’ this means – YOUR OWN HOUSE! Some in Christian churches have become worldly to the point that unbelievers wouldn’t even be convicted of sins. Conviction leads to Salvation by Grace through Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ! I deal with my own shortcomings daily and pray my lapses haven’t caused a single person to turn away from Christ. I fail, but God Almighty through Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit has NEVER failed me! I’ve questioned things that have happened and been hurt over outcomes, but Jesus has been faithful to me for my whole life.

I’m sure many Christians today with all that’s been going on have
struggled to keep their fires of Faith burning to be witnesses to those who don’t know Christ as Savior yet. At the same time, there seems to be an overwhelming amount of those claiming to be ‘Christian’ who don’t even believe in true Salvation by Faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ for sins. THIS IS A PROBLEM! False doctrine, false teachers, false prophets… Jesus Christ told His disciples to TURN AWAY from them. We need to be reading the Christian Holy Bible to know what is RIGHT so we don’t accept what is WRONG. I might not have all the answers someone might ask me, but I KNOW when I hear something that is OFF. If you ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding as you read, HE WILL DO IT. It’s time we ALL STUDIED the Holy Bible.

I have Bible Sermon Notes up on my www.tribulationhelp.com website for anyone to read for FREE! I also have some essays, links to other study helps, and even prayers for different circumstances. I’m not always right, but I believe in what I’ve written and shared with others in my life and on this website. I’m still mainly Assembly of God in my beliefs. I don’t agree with some restrictions that some teach or the even stricter ones by others, but I do try to live by the teachings of Apostle Paul, and he told Timothy to ‘study to show thyself approved’. If what I have taught or done is wrong then I’ll answer for it at the Judgment Seat of Christ. If you refuse Christ because you got ticked or hurt at someone who failed you or something someone said then YOU
will still be responsible for your own soul’s damnation if you refuse  Jesus Christ.

I can’t blame those who failed me for the choices I made after them
since we each are responsible for ‘our own soul salvation with fear and
trembling’ because each of us is supposed to read the Holy Bible on our own to find what it says for ourselves! No preacher will be responsible for you refusing the Salvation that Jesus Christ gave to each of us by shedding His Blood on Calvary to redeem each of us from sin. EACH PERSON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT SOUL! NO ONE ELSE is responsible for YOURS but YOU. Jesus Christ being accepted by a best friend, parents, grandparents, or link back through ancestors doesn’t save YOU. Jesus Christ accepted by your Sunday school teacher, youth pastor, or church pastor doesn’t save YOU through them either. ONLY YOU CAN CHOOSE JESUS CHRIST PERSONALLY!

Let me start spitting bars – to keep from ending up in Eternal Hell that will happen to you if you don’t seek the ONLY Salvation from Sin, YOU
PERSONALLY must accept Jesus Christ as YOUR SAVIOR by believing HE did all He did for YOU. It is a Spiritual transaction in Heaven – By His Grace and Through Your Faith that He shed His Blood IN YOUR PLACE on Calvary will settle the balance of your own Soul’s Ledger since your age of accountability! If you let His Love into your heart as His Holy Spirit reactivates your spiritual soul-to-God connection that all humanity lost in DNA when Adam and Eve sinned in Eden. Once this major spiritual transaction is applied to YOU God Almighty sees YOU through the blood of Jesus Christ that COVERS YOU upon acceptance for as long as YOU BELIEVE IN HIM!

Yes, there are many religions in this world other than Christianity,
and I respect the rights of others to believe in their chosen faith. I simply have studied the Christian Holy Bible and seen that it makes the most sense spiritually. It also does historically, archaeologically, geologically, biologically, and psychologically. Some might argue against that due to those sciences, but I’ve read enough to wade through pseudo-science muddle to find misunderstanding timelines and even an unwillingness to see that science and Christianity are NOT at odds if everyone would be HONEST and not make stuff up that has NO proof at all. Christians need to get over Darwin used as the main
point of contention against ALL sciences. Real Science Facts point to something before Adam and Eve, so accept it and preach Jesus Christ to ALL RIGHT NOW!

My possible non-fiction book title is BEFORE ADAM, and some actual Science facts explain how incongruities with the originally accepted Christian timeline, Carbon-14 dating not being as reliable as stated,
and technologies pointing to certain things that really DID happen BEFORE the dating of Adam being created in 3762 B.C. will explain WHY two different timelines of Earth existing does NOT disclaim the most important one of Jesus Christ having become humanity’s Savior after homo-sapiens fell from Grace to need HIM since He was ‘slain before the foundations of the world’. It seems Cain comingled with a possible Neanderthal or Denisovan for Nephilim giants to enter his line. When Jesus Christ died for humanity He died for ALL of the
resulting humans. Mary’s line was from ONLY homo-sapiens DNA.

Fallen Lucifer renamed Satan tried to use the divergent DNA from
other beings before Adam with Cain and fallen angel spawn with human women to create Nephilim giants to pollute the lines of humanity, but God Almighty KNEW the end from the beginning, so the line through Seth was preserved to allow our Savior to be born of a virgin with the Father’s blood of God Almighty for Jesus Christ to have the lineage of King David and Priest Zadok through Mary to make
Jesus Christ meet the prophetic demands as Jewish Messiah (Christian Savior), Priest, and King. Mary’s husband Joseph wasn’t the biological father of Jesus Christ, but he ALSO had proper lineage so there would be no discrediting the full lineage of Jesus Christ legally. While Judaism doesn’t recognize Jesus Christ as their Messiah, many Jewish Christians HAVE.

Shakin’ the House should lead Gentile Christians to STOP hating and
blaming the Jewish people for the death of Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ GAVE HIS LIFE… NO ONE took it from Him. I’ve read Christian leaders in our history make very anti-Semitic statements that are NOT TRUE. Ancient Jewish spiritual leaders like the Pharisees and Sadducees were part of what led to Jesus Christ being crucified, but they still did NOT have the power to TAKE the life of Jesus Christ on their own. NO man did. Jesus Christ GAVE HIS LIFE FOR ALL HUMANITY. If hating those responsible for what did happen you should add Rome and all the other nations of people who were THERE and did anything to Jesus Christ. NO MATTER OUR PAST ANCESTORS, WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE! We need to acknowledge THAT REALITY.

The Christian Church needs to embrace the Jewish believers in Christ
and unite the two groups that share twenty-four thrones as written about by John the Revelator in the Christian Holy Bible New Testament book of Revelation. That might become the HOW a final Revival begins soon! Gentiles are not the only ones represented in the End Times. Jewish believers in Jesus Christ were the FIRST CHRISTIANS and are ALSO part of what makes the COMPLETED Christian Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as Jewish Messiah AND Savior of ALL others! Satan using this hatred to divide those supposed to be working for God Almighty of Creation has always been part of his playbook. Christians should be more aware of this in 2024, but many seem to let divisions between Gentile and other cultural believers discount those others.

ALL Believers in Jesus Christ as Savior: we each need to get our own
house in order before it’s too late! We ALL MUST be praying for ourselves and others, reading the Holy Bible for clarity, and living our lives to witness to the others in this world as time seems to be running out for the Grace Period of Biblical Dispensations. Yes, it seemed to have been thought when Jesus Christ rose back to Heaven that He would return in a short time by the original Disciples. Back then there wasn’t what needed to be in place for it to happen prophetically. NOW is VERY different. We MUST be aware of our limited days to show the love of Jesus Christ to a world we ALL have FAILED since an unknown
amount of people still need JESUS! Each and Every person who claims Christ as Savior has a CALLING TO FULFILL RIGHT NOW.

You might not be able to preach, sing, play an instrument, or do major outreach due to a number of reasons, but we all can still PRAY and show HIS LOVE to others around us wherever we go. We ALL need to stop judging those who still need to understand the REAL GOSPEL of Jesus Christ without the church indoctrinations, meaningless platitudes, or constrictive dogma that WILL NOT SAVE THEM. Stop preaching hate and start sharing LOVE! Call sin what it is AND give the answer to their soul deficiency – JESUS CHRIST! The Holy Spirit is the
ONE who brings conviction to a person that leads to Salvation. Christians can’t do it themselves. ONLY the Holy Spirit can begin the transformation of a human soul being SAVED BY GRACE AND THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST! Share Jesus Christ
until we leave…

“Revival Begins With a Moment of Allowing God to Use All Our Scars…” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©02-17-2023

I have been praying for years now that a revival for the younger generations would start soon since things seem to be lining up for the very last Biblical prophecies to be fulfilled in real time. Seeing the commercials on television by a few ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that reach out to the hearts of humanity have encouraged me to keep on sharing the Truth of Christianity and not the religious ploys that have turned people away in despair. Right now, a praise service in a university in Kentucky is going on since February eighth, and I have been praising Jesus Christ for this confirmation that this is NOT the end of possibilities for the last great harvest to happen in time for those who will accept Jesus Christ as a personal Savior, Lord, King, and God Almighty. Though I have failed at times to do all I was called to do, I still believe!

An attendee at this Kentucky revival gave his testimony that shared his scars, and that one step of allowing others to see we ALL need Jesus because we ALL have scars caused a change in the atmosphere that led to continued outpouring of praise that has brought people from all over! THIS is what we NEED to see the change Jesus Christ can give to anyone who is willing to be HONEST with each other and let Jesus Christ use those scars to heal hearts of others. When believers ADMIT THEIR SCARS, it helps unbelievers to SEE the brokenness that we ALL have! I wrote a song I named, “Use All My Scars” a few years ago but haven’t been able to put it to music yet, but this might be what I needed to get back to that and finish it to record and put up online at my YouTube channel for Anyone Anywhere to listen to for FREE. I’ll try!

Each one of us is needed to reach every individual who seeks the life-changing LOVE that Jesus Christ will use to change them spiritually once they believe He died in the place of EACH AND EVERY SINGLE PERSON to be saved by Grace through Faith! All we have to do is BELIEVE He did what He said and allow Him to begin filling each one of them with His Grace, Mercy, Love, Joy, Peace, and Power that leads to reaching anyone we can for Him. This might sound like a fairytale to some in the world, but I have known Jesus Christ as MY personal Savior since I was eight years old and I’m fifty now. Even when I get upset and overreact, He has NEVER FAILED ME. That is a Truth I live my life by, and I have NEVER regretted a moment of walking the path He’s given to me. I fail at times at worst times, but HE NEVER HAS!

We Need Revival as the body of Jesus Christ no matter what denomination we are! I see Laodicea all over this land, and that is the worst of the churches mentioned in Revelation for their outright lukewarm attitude. We need to be RED HOT! Christianity is NOT a dead religion. Christianity is the Faith of believing in a Personal Savior to change us from the inside out to show HIS love for each individual. Too many churches only care about fame, money, or worldly status. The REAL church of the Lord Jesus Christ only cares about SOULS! I see people who are LOOKING and even LONGING for what the Gospel of Jesus Christ can GIVE THEM! They just don’t know WHERE to look because too many who claim to be saved doesn’t seem to even know how to help anyone else to be saved. THAT IS FAILURE!

I have my moments of meltdown, failed opportunities to witness, and blatant angry fits that I’m not proud of, but if sharing THAT will help anyone else see that ANYONE can know Jesus Christ, love Him even when we mess up since we are ALL still in the flesh and NOT yet changed to our redeemed bodies that will happen at the time of the Rapture of the church that we might face sooner than many think, then I’m willing to let the Lord USE ALL MY SCARS if that can lead a soul to find HIM. Our own pain can be used to soften the hardest heart if we’ve been placed in the person’s life for THAT PURPOSE. If my having Relapsing/Remitting Multiple Sclerosis in remission to share how Jesus is still using Me for HIM in spite of my loss of energy from the disease then I’m still willing to keep trying even when it is hard to do.

My Fantasy novels and Original songs are meant to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a different way for those age groups that are having a revival right now at the university! Everything I’ve been through will be worth it if there is even one thing in my novels that reaches ONE person. One SOUL is worth a lifetime of work. One SOUL is worth a life of sickness. One SOUL is worth a thousand tears, a million sighs, and a gazillion moments of doubt about me since it’s NOT really about me in the end… IT’S ALL ABOUT JESUS! I can be selfish sometimes and end up ranting and raving when I’m overwhelmed over something that really is stupid in the grand scheme of life but important to me at the time, but even in the middle of my worst breakdowns the Holy Spirit reminds me that HE is the ONE to fix ANY problem.

There are consequences for sin even after you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. New and old Christians make mistakes even if they read the Holy Bible to learn more about how to live a saved by Grace life, but my understanding from the Holy Bible does not say there is an ongoing ‘Grace Exemption’ if a person knows they are purposefully doing the things that the Holy Bible says not to do. Ignorance is NOT bliss; the Holy Bible says that in the latter days people will ‘believe a lie and be damned’, so you lying to yourself will probably have the same result. I struggle with things and question others, and I will stand at the Judgment Seat of Christ for His judgment of my life someday and will see what turns to ash and what turns to reward, but I’ve paid in life at times for what I’ve done too, so we all need to keep reading.

Prayer is another important thing to keep yourself in the proper spirit to allow Jesus Christ to have His Holy Spirit to revive you to help revive and reach others. What’s happening in Kentucky right now NEEDS TO BE HAPPENING TO ALL CHRISTIANS AND POSSIBLE CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE! With as bad as things have been during Covid-19 pandemic we should have been praying like never before since church services were stopped, but now that things are a bit better than last year it hadn’t seemed any real change had begun yet… until Kentucky! That kind of revival spirit can be at EVERY SINGLE CHURCH IN AMERICA IF WE ASK HIM IN! Maybe that’s the real problem – too many people who claim to be Christian might not want any change because they haven’t really had SALVATION happen to them.

That is one of the saddest things to think. I know that a lot of people go to church, but how many actually asked Jesus Christ to become a person’s PERSONAL SAVIOR by accepting that He died in that person’s place and asking for forgiveness? THAT is the ONLY way to receive Salvation from the sin each person is born with due to a birth taint that came down through humanity after the spiritual fall of mankind. Those students at the reviving services in Kentucky are spreading the Joy of Salvation by simply sharing it honestly, not corporately or legalistically. They have the Power from Jesus Christ showing on their faces, in their voices, and by their words of encouragement. THAT is what EVERY church in America NEEDS… HONEST PRAISE! When was the last time you were in a church service with that?

Thirty-six years ago when I was fourteen (yes, I can do math), I enjoyed services with the most anointed music services I had ever experienced. Although I’ve enjoyed other churches and concerts over the years, there still wasn’t the acceptance of the Holy Spirit controlling the service like back then. It seems like even churches that preach the Gospel and claim to be ‘Full-Gospel’ don’t seem be letting the Holy Spirit to orchestrate anointing, gifts of the Holy Spirit, or testimonies that could lead to the other two happening. Are people that afraid to let GOD ALMIGHTY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT take control? While I know some charlatans have made leaders question the validity of gifts, it still bothers me that there seems to be a corporate kind of dismissal of anything ‘super-natural’ since they can’t control it. That’s wrong.

It’s also WHAT is needed… uncontrollable Holy Spirit Revival that humans can’t control! I’m not talking about being crazy. I believe that services need to be in decency and in order like the apostle Paul said. I’m saying that when it comes to the Holy Spirit moving, no man should try to interrupt it for their own personal control issues. Those who are spiritually mature should be able to KNOW the difference. When people gave Messages and Interpretations in Tongues during those services I was in so long ago, EVERYONE there KNEW it was the Holy Spirit controlling those. Since we humans seem to mess up everything we’re given control over, then I’d much rather have the Holy Spirit be the One in complete control whenever I want to connect spiritually with like-minded Christians so we ALL can be fully blessed.

Even if Spiritual Gifts aren’t openly used, anointed music like shown in Kentucky can open people’s hearts to consider accepting Jesus Christ as Savior and might even lead to miracles that might not be known about until later. I’m okay with that too. I just want the open praising without any purpose but thanking our Savior for all of the blessings He has given and keeps giving to us even when we don’t deserve them or thank Him enough for them. I’m sorry to say that even I don’t as much as I should. I keep writing lyrics for songs, but setting them to melody can be hard at times, so it’s been frustrating lately. I still have to try to at least do the one for “Use All My Scars” since the Kentucky revival really has blessed me seeing all of those young people doing at their age what I did at that same age decades ago now.

Seeking forgiveness for letting Jesus Christ down with what He has asked for us to do as a church or even as an individual is where overall revival can take root in more places than Kentucky. Are Americans willing to examine their individual hearts and be HONEST with their individual souls? I’m not sure, but I’m hoping there will be enough for this amazing revival to continue since it could be the last before Christians are taken away like Holy Bible prophecies claim happens before the Great Tribulation (pre-Trib viewpoint) begins that will shift world focus to Israel as they endure the missing years sentenced by God Almighty for not resting their land as He had demanded. We seem to be coming to the end-times as warned about thousands of years ago in the Jewish Torah and Christian Old and New Testaments.

We’ve had false dates given over the course of time, and I have warned of possibilities for the past few years too as different things happened that seemed to point to it being time or almost time. Regardless, it seems like things are now progressing towards all of the prophecies needed to be fulfilled according to the Holy Bible have been fulfilled except for the last Israeli that has to be back in Jerusalem and the last person to accept Jesus Christ as Savior at the time of the taking away or ‘Rapture’ of the Christian and Messianic Jewish believers. Nations listed in the Prophetic scriptures are lining up as alliances right now, technology has advance enough to explain some things that could not be before, and things are like ‘in the days of Noah’ once you compare the Old Testament to current day news. It’s just a matter of time and saved souls.

The present-day human interest in ‘UFO’s’ has grown to unprecedented numbers in 2023. This might be what is thought as the ‘great deception’ according to some theologians, or it could simply be something used to explain millions to billions of disappearances when that happens. I’m not sure, but I have written about this possibility and how all people need to NOT accept any identification (implant, tattoo, or device) that requires a person to proclaim a leader to be ‘god’. Those who do will be lost eternally because that leader will be the anti-Christ against Jesus Christ. After Christians are removed and twenty-one judgments listed in prophecies happen, there will be limited time to accept Jesus Christ once these things begin. I urge YOU reading to consider what time it is and how you NEED JESUS NOW. Please pray:

“Father God Almighty of Creation, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I ask you to forgive me for my sins as I accept Jesus Christ as my Personal Savior since He died on the Cross of Calvary to pay for my sins so I can be saved and not have to go to Hell once I accept that He is the Son of God, died sinless, came back to life, and is coming back for believers to be taken to safety while judgment begins on Earth. I don’t deserve Your Love, Mercy, or Grace, but I accept YOU and believe I am now saved from destruction spiritually. Help me to learn how to live, reach out to others to tell of You, and KNOW YOU for my loving Savior You have been before even the beginning of Creation. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. AMEN!”

“What If You Are The Only Jesus People See?” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©04/07/2022

Christianity isn’t just a religious way of life, a moral standard of living, or even a fight for the greater good. The reality of Christianity is having Faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, the Only Son of the Only Living God of Creation Who died in the place of each and every person’s sins passed down from the first humans through their blood line…until Jesus Christ was born with the blood line of God Almighty instead and was able to die for every single person throughout time who would simply BELIEVE. It sounds simple, but people make it so blasted hard to understand. Whether it’s due to the misunderstanding, misinterpretation, or direct misdirecting, the actual full message of Christianity through Grace by Faith isn’t presented as the Power-filled life of believers since many who claim to be believers have NO POWER by choice.

There are many groups who claim to be Christian that expect you to do all kinds of spiritual contortions that have NOTHING to do with SALVATION as stated in the Christian Holy Bible: “Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” THIS IS A FIRST STEP INTO A NEW LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST WITH HIM AS YOUR SAVIOR. Christianity asks for you to let Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit and His Living Word to begin restoring you spiritually, changing you personally to empower you supernaturally once you claim Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, Lord, King, and God of Creation.

THIS IS PERSONAL. This is the most important relationship you can have in your life since it is with the One who took your sin, knows you better than you know yourself, and wants for you to know HIM. His Spirit fills you again once you accept what He did FOR YOU, let Him take all sin you’ve done away FROM YOU, and let Him give a new life TO YOU. Salvation is instant, but LIVING your new life will take a lifetime. Justification is through Faith in Christ, and Redemption is promised. NONE of us are perfect so no matter how long a person is saved he or she will sin even if they have the best intentions to live for Christ, but His forgiveness is promised as long as you take sins to the Lord for Him to reapply His blood to your life once again for you to go forward AGAIN. AN ONGOING AGAIN!

Life is hard. Every day idiocy grates on the nerves and makes even a sane (or semi-sane) person want to destroy what is in the way of peace, joy, love, and even complete sanity. I’m writing this with tears in my eyes since I fail all the time to control my anger over things that overwhelm me when something that should be easier to handle drive me crazy! Is it possible I need to pray more, read the Bible more, and let go of things interfering with my Christian life more? YES! Is it possible the RRMS I have, though in remission, has me taking medicine that could be part of over- reactions? YES! Is it possible that approaching 50 years old with changing hormones could make me do the same? YES! Is it possible the enemy causes things to happen to turn the screws on my psyche so I fall short being a model Christian? YES!

We ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We ALL have the same tainted blood due to the human fall from the Grace of God Almighty our Creator that happened by Adam and Eve. WE ALL NEED JESUS! I can’t do the things I wish I could do or NOT do the things I wish I would NOT do. I AM HUMAN… inherently undisciplined in mind and body. I’m not proud of myself, and I certainly hurt my own heart when I do the things Jesus cries over each time I fail Him. There is NO excuse. I’m still trying to live my Faith to make my Savior be thankful that He did die for me. I am His even when I mess everything up. I’m still redeemed but ONLY by Faith in what HE already did for me. I’m supposed to be learning, progressing, and growing in His Grace, and yet I falter at the worst possible moments I could at times.

Christianity is NOT something to use so you can claim to be perfect; Christianity IS the WAY to reach the ONE who IS perfect as HE then helps you to try to live your life to SHARE that He lives IN YOU by His Grace through your Faith in what He’s already done for you and ALL WHO BELIEVE HIM. We each are supposed to be a Light Shining on the hill by living for Jesus with all of our abilities in spite of our own failures. Do things seem so out of control most of the time that it can make us question why we should even try? Yes. Do some people claim to be Christian yet seem to try to hurt others? Yes. Is either okay? NO! Jesus Christ gave His life to restore yours to how yours was meant to be before you were even born. HE SAW YOU when He was on the Cross of Calvary! Accept HIM to begin Life Restoration!

“That seems a bit dramatic!” some might exclaim. What happened on the Cross was as DRAMATIC as it was TORTUROUS and HEART-BREAKING. Every time I make a mistake and sin then my heart hurts since I know Jesus bled a drop to cover it for me. “That is some nonsensical way of thinking” others might yell out. Each person has your own decisions that you need to take responsibility for doing, and NO ONE has the power to live good enough on your own to overcome the sin in your soul. “Who do you think you are to judge anyone?” more scream in outrage. I’m not. I point to the facts according to the Holy Bible that gives the argument that we ALL have sinned and need a Savior Who has given HIS FREE GIFT for you that you need to accept so HE can change you from the inside out over time.

It is an ongoing struggle to even try to live for Christ sometimes. It is NOT always sunshine and roses. There are moments of rain and thorns. I’ve been through enough storms to tell you that it’s not easy, but in the midst of the storm is when Jesus shows up to help you not sink in a wreck and even walk on some kind of spiritual water if you trust Him. I’m still trying to understand why I had the car accident a couple years ago that totaled it. I only had a couple of bruised knees, so I’m thankful, but why did it have to happen? I was in shock but didn’t have a nervous breakdown and gave out cards to the police officer, towing driver, and owner of car I rear-ended after 30 years without an accident so I still ask WHY? Did any of them come to find the Lord or find a closer walk with the Savior? I don’t know, but the possibility gives solace.

What if I was the only Jesus those people will ever see? That is a thrilling but a frightening prospect since I’m not the best I’d choose for it. How many people have I failed to reach? How many people have I turned against Jesus by some careless action? How many have I pushed away by not showing the kind of Jesus they needed to see? It shadows parts of my life with how they could have happened. All I can do now is to TRY to live more like Him so all those going forward will see HIM instead of just me. Sharing the sea-walking Galilean carpenter Savior that died for all can happen in a better way, but what if that unexpected accident, scary disease, or ongoing illness put you in a place where Jesus can use you to reach even one soul that no one else will ever be able to reach? EVERY Christian needs to REALLY consider that.

Am I glad the car accident happened? Am I glad that I have Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis even if I’m in remission? Am I glad that I have to see a regular doctor, an allergy doctor, and a neurologist doctor? NO to all three, but if I have managed to show even a slight light to someone during one of those visits that reached someone for Jesus then that IS something that I’m glad about happening. I’m not a masochist so I don’t want pain, problems, or persecution, BUT if a moment of discomfort leads to an eternity in Heaven for even one person to have then it ALL will be worth it. I don’t like illness, but it’s an old thing to me since I was a child. I’ve wept sitting in the middle of a hospital bed more than once, but knowing that my Savior was right beside me singing over me has always been a comfort that I want everyone to have.

I used to be an optimist most of the time when I was younger, but if I’m honest I’m more of a realist now when it comes to everyday life. I have moments of utter joy with things I find beautiful, inspiring, and truthful, but desolation hits when the world feels like it’s falling down on me at the toughest times I’ve known. I trust people too quickly and get hurt often, but I still try to see the good a person has inside to help them get closer to Jesus to see good become a brighter light for others. It is part of my calling and the reason for my songs and books, but when others can’t understand things I try to use in a different way to do that reaching then it hurts more than anything else has in my almost 50 years. ‘Judge not lest ye be judged’ isn’t something many Christians seem to take very seriously. I do and try to live by it each day.

Like I’ve said before many times, I’m NOT perfect; I’m not even close or approaching it at any speed other than a human crawl. I try to let the Lord change what He wills with music, scripture, books, research, and any media He chooses. It’s interesting what He DOES use sometimes, but there are many who wouldn’t believe it was God Almighty who does it because they try to put God Almighty in a religious box of their own making. I DON’T. I know that HE KNOWS ME. HE KNOWS WHAT REACHES ME. HE KNOWS WHAT REACHES EACH AND EVERY PERSON. That is WHY I still write what I write and sing what I sing. If one part of a book or one stanza of a song reaches them then that means I wrote it FOR THEM TO FIND HIM! Will that be many? Maybe not, but even 1 is worth it. Even 1 matters. Even 1 is enough.

I keep watching “Castle”. That series helped me to finish writing BREAKING THE SHACKLES, Book 1 of my “Rebirth of Eirinth” Christian Speculative Fantasy Novel Series. I don’t claim it’s the best book you’d ever read or if the writing is what some would want, but I tried to do something different to reach a few specific groups of what I’d hoped would be my readers based on my eclectic interests and how the book interlaced Fantasy novels, Japanese Anime series, and Christian music within the pages of the story. It has a positive purpose even if some can’t see it. It definitely has my heart throughout it, so if anyone knows me at all they should see it in the art, read it in the story, and hear it in the music. If it and TREADING THE PATH, “Rebirth of Eirinth” book 2 don’t show Jesus Christ too in some way then I failed.

When I chose ‘Tenrai Daystar’ as the name for my version of Jesus Christ in Eirinth it wasn’t done lightly. Tenrai is a Japanese word that means ‘sound of the wind, divine, beautiful poetry’ and that is how I FEEL about Jesus Christ, my Savior, Lord, King, and God Almighty. I knew I needed something else, and the song “Daystar Shine Down on Me” came to me when I prayed about it and sounded right when added to the first name. ALL character names were chosen for their meaning to give spiritual background and personality traits once shown through their reactions and places in the storyline. That was how I planned it and hoped readers would understand and find the one they related to the most to then find their path in this world toward Faith with their skills and abilities that God can use to show Jesus to others too. I truly hope.

If my songs and books are my ways to be the only Jesus people see then I’m thankful for what I’ve done as a teen and adult with my music and as an adult with my books even if others can’t recognize it now. I’ll have a table at the Gem City Comic Con on 07/23-24/2022 at the Dayton Convention Center for the first time. Though my book series is NOT the comic genre but written Fantasy books, they have similar artwork. Maybe someone there will be interested. I’m giving my music CD “Eirinth Breaking” with each purchase while supplies last and will be in ‘costume’, so maybe something in my multi-media project will reach out to EVEN ONE PERSON. It might seem a small return for all of my time, money, and tears, but what if THAT ONE is your son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, parent, grandparent, spouse, or friend?

A Worldwide Revival is prophesied to happen BEFORE the Rapture (calling away) of the Believers in Christ as many believe happens BEFORE the Great Tribulation begins. I recently read the online article at Kehilanews Community Blog under “Yeshua’s Hidden Identity Revealed on Succoth, His True Birthday” by Richard Honorof on Oct 7, 2020. He believes that Worldwide Revival will begin in Jerusalem once people there see the link that Mary (Miriam) has to the line of King David through her father AND the line of Aaronic high priesthood by Zadok through her mother. This gave Jesus Christ not only the KING line but also the HIGH PRIEST line for the final SACRIFICE HE GAVE FOR ALL OF US!

What if YOU are the ONLY JESUS people in your life SEE? What if…?

“Wars and Rumors of Wars with Perilous Times in 2022” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©02/27/22

As we in the United States of America watch the news about the incursion of Ukraine by Russia, Christians should be asking a very important question, “How does this fit into the Last Days of the End Times in relation to the Rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ?” While I still won’t put an actual date on when Jesus Christ will return to get believers saved by Faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ to take them out to safety BEFORE first judgement seal broken, certainly this also points to a specific scripture that came to mind right after American withdrawal from Afghanistan possibly leading to War on Ukraine and a future incursion of Taiwan by China. The United States of America should attempt to discourage all of this to not cause nuclear war now that Putin has put their nuclear response on high alert.

“Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Matthew 24:7   For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

Matthew 24:8   All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Matthew 24:9   Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.” from the Christian Holy Bible King James Version

This scripture has been referenced ever since first written when any war or time of unrest has been seen by Christ believers, whether right after Jesus Christ returned to Heaven after the Resurrection around 33 A.D. or throughout the last 1989 to 1995 years, so why would it seem to be more likely to be speaking of what is actually happening in 2022 now? If not because of other scriptures that speak more about our present world situation we can see daily when contrasted to the histories of many nations around the world then I can only say that our world is more like that in 2022 than at any other in Pre-history (Ancient), Classical, Middle Ages, Early Modern, or before now in Modern history. The Christian Holy Bible tells us things that happened throughout time, but there are specifics for End Times that are even more dominant now.

“2Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2Timothy 3:2   For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

2Timothy 3:3   Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

2Timothy 3:4   Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

2Timothy 3:5   Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

2Timothy 3:6   For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

2Timothy 3:7   Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” from the Christian Holy Bible King James Version

All of the verses above are happening in 2022, but verse 5 seems to be leveled at Christian churches specifically about them having a form of godliness but denying the Power of God Almighty. THAT is WHY we haven’t had a REAL REVIVAL yet! I’ve seen the TRUE POWER of God Almighty in Christian Church services in 1985, so WHY are we not allowing the Holy Spirit to let His Gifts flow through believers in Jesus Christ who long to see many be saved by Faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for all of our sins? ‘Wormwood’ has been thought to be a nuclear attack DURING the Great Tribulation, but it isn’t supposed to happen before Rapture happens of the Believers in Jesus Christ, Gentile or Jew. Is it possible that the Rapture won’t happen first? Not according to the Holy Bible we put ALL of our Faith in even in 2022.

My uncle was a Baptist minister, and I went to several different denominations over the years, but I believe we need a FULL-GOSPEL SPIRIT-FILLED GIFTS-OF-THE-SPIRIT-EMPOWERED REVIVAL! If we don’t we could be kept here until we get our act together enough TO DO WHAT GOD ALMIGHTY CALLED US TO DO! Then again, I and the ones who believe we won’t go until the last soul to be saved in the Grace Dispensation period happens are wrong and we are taken out anyway? What if we have to stand before Jesus Christ, the One who shed HIS BLOOD for us and have to be told the names and shown the faces we failed to give an account? JESUS, HELP US! We can’t fail those souls waiting for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to SAVE their lives AND CHANGE their lives RIGHT NOW! WE MUST NOT!

WE MUST WAKE UP! Some who claim to be Christian want to stay here and try to build their own empire, so they don’t want a revival unless it gives them more money. I want a REAL REVIVAL to give us a LAST HARVEST! I WANT TO GO HOME! In case you don’t get it, HOME IS HEAVEN. I have a mansion of my own waiting for me, not because I deserve it but because I believe in Jesus and HE PROMISED! “Just build my mansion next door to Jesus, and tell my family I’m coming home!” I have so many of my personal family, my church family, and my spiritual family to get Home to see, either again or for the first time. I want to go, but I don’t want to leave anyone behind who is meant to come with us. Each Christian should think about how you’ll feel when you give account of those you failed to reach.

“Oh, someone else will do it. I can’t take a chance on religion making people hate me! I have to keep my image of popularity, so I can’t be thought of as one of ‘those’ people.” Yes, I have heard those excuses for my almost 50 years, and even now they are nothing but prideful excuses that God Almighty is NOT going to accept for letting a single soul die and go to hell because YOU wouldn’t even TRY to reach them for HIM! I’m angry at churches myself for just NOT wanting to reach EVERY SINGLE SOUL POSSIBLE! EVERY SOUL POSSIBLE! NOT who YOU think deserves it. NOT who YOU think can raise admiration from fellow self-righteous hypocrites. NOT who YOU think is okay enough to share you church pew! Unto the least of these we are supposed to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ! THE LEAST OF THESE!

NO ONE is beneath God Almighty’s notice! HE wants ALL of the LEAST OF THESE! HE wants ALL of the WHOSOEVER WILL! Who are any of us to not try to reach them for HIM? He gave ALL for THEM and ALL OF US. How can we do any less for HIM? Some believers around the world are DYING because they claim their Faith in HIM. How can any of us in the United States of America or any other free country be so prideful to not see those who are led toward their own destruction without even understanding it because WE ARE NOT TELLING THEM! How can God ever forgive us for that? If you think I write these just for fun or acclaim THINK AGAIN. I write these to reach JUST ONE MORE! Anywhere! At Any Cost! EACH SOUL IS PRICELESS! How can any Christian think less than that?

I’m watching the news about Ukraine now, and my heart cries out for the people. Afghanistan before, Ukraine now, and possibly Taiwan next; we see the countries being lined up for the final phase before the Rapture might happen that leads to the Great Tribulation Period as prophesied thousands of years ago. I’ve watched actual prophesies happen in real time as leading to the final ones before the Grace Dispensation ENDS. This year, a couple more years if calendar off, or 2029 as one Israeli writer offers, the Christian church has a little time to get us right, have a Real Revival, and claim that final harvest of souls for the kingdom of God Almighty before TOO LATE. I don’t want anyone who can escape from Great Tribulation to be left behind when Gabriel sounds the trumpet of Jesus Christ to take us to safety in actual Heaven.

It’s been preached for over two thousand years, and even before that in the Old Testament prophecies too, so no one who has read any of the given Word of God Almighty has an excuse to not see what’s happening in 2022, especially those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, and we must try to do what God Almighty asks for us to do NOW AND STOP WAITING! While those in Ukraine are the most at risk today, the nuclear threat is worse at this moment than even in the previous Cold War era that I lived through. CHRISTIANS BEGIN PRAYING! This upgraded level of High for the Russian Nuclear Defense Assets is something that anyone who lived through the last 50 years can relate to as being very frightening. While I still believe Christians will be evacuated before the first judgement, we should PRAY FOR ALL!

Believers in Salvation through the Blood of Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God Almighty should be praying, speaking out with wisdom to those around us, and use pinpointed Prayers of Spiritual Warfare by those who have that Spiritual Gift. We need to be praying for the leaders in any occupation who could make a difference to keep the worst possible ending for Ukraine and the world. If a nuclear attack happens then EVERYONE will be affected! The deaths would be catastrophic alone, but just like with Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II the people still alive after initial strikes would pay with their lives from after-effects of radiation at a greater level since bombs now are stronger which means even more death and damage in the aftermath. Even if only biological weapons, it would be disastrous.

We must PRAY AGAINST THIS WITH FAITH!

“Rosh Hashanah 2021 Day 2 Done But No Christian Rapture” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©09/08/2021

While I would’ve welcomed Jesus Christ showing up in the clouds between the 6th and 8th but that didn’t happen. It might happen any other day from now on since the first prophecy leading to the Rapture (Christian Evacuation) began the clock ticking down to the Great Tribulation. Some Christians believe the Rapture won’t be until midway through the Great Tribulation while others think at end of it. I still believe the Rapture will be BEFORE the Great Tribulation begins. My main reason is that the anti-Christ can’t take full power over the nations until ALL Christians are removed to safety.

Unlike the present United States of America government, Jesus Christ will NOT leave ANY of HIS own behind! Christians and Messianic Jews will be changed then translated/transported to Heaven. Whether another dimension or even another planet, it will happen when it’s time to vacate Earth. Some who claim to be Christian believe neither will happen, but since every single prophecy over thousands of years in the Holy Bible HAVE happened, I don’t think I’d discount this part since OUR LIVES depend on it! I don’t want any person to be left here to endure the Hell on Earth that will happen.

I know I keep referencing the Marvel movie ENDGAME, but it truly represents how things will be here on Earth once millions to billions of people disappear from around the world. You think the Covid-19 pandemic made getting any goods tough? You need to read the Christian Holy Bible book of Revelation to find the judgements by God Almighty the Creator of the universe that will be with seals, trumpets, and woes to understand how awful it WILL BE after those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior through faith are supernaturally removed. The anti-Christ will then take power.

Do you wonder where America is in all of this? Hmm… don’t see a single mention of a country that could be seen as America in any of the prophecies. Now there is the mention of the 144,000 Jews who are fleeing from the anti-Christ and are taken to safety at one point by the ‘Wings of an eagle” that has been attributed by many preachers to be America, but the only other scripture that uses that same phrase is in the Old Testament and could NOT mean America since we hadn’t existed yet. America has been an ally to Israel often and recently, but NOT now with present policies.

America is tearing itself apart in 2021. Everything that I have learned for my 49 years of life is being dumbed down, lied about, and even demonized as being all of the ‘ists’, ‘isms’, or ‘ics’ that I actually despise. Yes, I’m a white Christian American woman, but I’m NOT racist, xenophobic, or misogynistic. Unfortunately, this America is no longer the America I’ve known. It isn’t that of my parents born in 1913 and 1931 or my sister born in 1950. With the turning over of Afghanistan like it was done, I also see WHY we are not mentioned; we seem to no longer be a world power.

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again concerning this situation, “My father who fought in World War II would be madder than blazes over what is happening right now!” He did NOT fight and bleed for this country in World War II and defeat the Nazis to let our politicians destroy this Democratic-Republic now. His brother did NOT die in World War II for that to happen either! American soldiers never went into combat thinking about their service letting other countries take over ours. Our American people and their helpers are still stuck in Afghanistan. It’s no wonder America isn’t listed!

Do you think I’m happy about this? NO! America has always been THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE in my lifetime and way before I was even born, so this makes me ANGRY! Our country is BETTER than this! Well… we USED TO BE. That actually HURTS to type, but sometimes the TRUTH hurts in any medium. Yet we have former specialists who are BETTER, and I THANK YOU for all that you are doing now! My asking for the A-Team, Martin Riggs, and RED clones actually worked! Maybe God Almighty orchestrated that…

Yes, I do have a reason for pointing out all of this now that we haven’t left yet – WE NEED A CHRISTIAN REVIVAL! Remember? I typed that we needed a Rosh Hashanah Rapture or a Revival Rapture. The holiday is gone, we’re all still here, and yet I haven’t seen Revival begin! Yes, many churches are still locked down. Yes, many places require masks still. Yes, many people are sick and tired of being sick and tired. It’s September in Ohio, tree pollen is rough for me, and I don’t have a home church right now either. STILL… I would really like to find Revival soon.

I have song lyrics I wrote that I need to put to melody for the music. I have Eirinth Book 3 to continue to write. Christians should ALL and EACH have things they NEED to do to reach others now that we’ve been given more time to reach people for Jesus. If my throat didn’t feel so scratchy, if my head wasn’t hurting so much, and if I could finish this Op-Ed so I can post it where I post then I’d feel a bit better. Many have lost a loved one to Covid-19, so it’s hard to focus on being happy even if that loved one was also saved and went to be with Jesus before you. Revival still needs to BE.

With all that’s going on right now in America it’s easy to lose hope, get discouraged, and want to simply WAIT for Jesus to come. Even though we are told in the Holy Bible that we need to ‘occupy’ until Jesus returns to take us away, it’s hard to do more than sit down to think we’re occupying… occupying the church pew, occupying the couch, or even occupying the bed. We can sing sitting in the recliner with praise and worship music, but does that reach anyone else? It has been difficult with Covid-19 to do any in-person witnessing, book signings, singing, or church events, so now what?

I bought beautiful dress pants and dress shirts to wear for book signings and church appearances when my Eirinth Book 2, TREADING THE PATH came out in 2019, but then Covid-19 hit. I was upset through 2020 with not being able to do anything to get the word out about my book series to reach readers and wasn’t able to wear my clothes anywhere. I then lost my character artist I had worked with for the last 12 years for my novels when Covid-19 took her in May 2021. Loss can even cause Christians to question WHY they are doing anything. Don’t be weary in well-doing isn’t ever easy.

Giving to Christian and American groups to make a difference helps me to feel better since it helps those with a further reach than I have. Then again, I have people all over the world listening to my music, so I have been able to share about my faith, books, songs, and even Op-Eds that maybe one or more of those listening will be saved, encouraged, and even empowered no matter where they are right now. THAT is why I still do what I do. I try to live by my life’s pledge I adopted years ago, “I won’t give up, I won’t give out, and I won’t give in!” No Rosh Hashanah Rapture so REVIVAL!

What needs to happen is for ALL CHRISTIANS to follow the example of the Disciples of Christ when the Day of Pentecost happened, and once they accepted their callings they were unleashed with the Spirit-Given Gifts that they would need to SHOW this world back then exactly WHO HE IS. Jesus Christ in 2021 is asking this from US. The Christian Holy Bible tells us that we are each placed into the Body of Christ right where we can let the Spiritual Gifts given to us be used to the utmost for the Glory of God that can REACH souls so they find in Christ WHATEVER THEY NEED IN HIM.

It is knowledge kept from your understanding by the enemy – fallen mankind was given ONLY ONE way to be restored to the Creator of the universe instead of following His enemy that wants to keep you from Him so he can flaunt you as his victory. This is an ongoing war that began in the Garden of Eden and is in more than three dimensions. Yes, I write Fantasy stories, but Jesus Christ is NOT a fantasy, fallacy, or one of many gods. Jesus Christ is the mortal aspect of God Almighty born as a perfect human to die for imperfect mankind. HE LOVES YOU THAT MUCH SO SEEK HIM!

“Rosh Hashanah 2021 Day 1 Done But No Christian Rapture” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©09/07/2021

After sundown on 09/06/2021 and Christians are still here, but we have until 09/08/2021 for Rapture during Rosh Hashanah if it happens in 2021. While I still question whether or not that could happen, I’m still WATCHING. I WATCH every day even when it’s not Rosh Hashanah. When the last human soul to be saved during this Grace Dispensation now then Jesus Christ will appear in the clouds as the trumpet sounds AND EVERY CHRISTIAN WILL BE EVACUATED BEFORE THE GREAT TRIBULATION BEGINS! This is not to scare you. This is to INFORM you for understanding.

This has been preached ever since Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead after dying on the Cross for humanity’s sins to restore every person who will believe to have a relationship with God Almighty the Creator of the universe through the perfect sinless blood shed for ALL on Calvary. While it hasn’t happened yet that doesn’t mean that it won’t. Christian Holy Bible prophesies had not been fulfilled yet before, BUT in 2021 some seem to have happened already. Even so, the closer we get to seeing countries that were part of the original Babylonian Empire coming together the sooner we leave.

I’m not brainwashed, ignorant, un-socialized, or part of a cult group. I’m a Born-Again Spirit-Filled Full-Gospel Nondenominational Christian who has studied the Christian Holy Bible for the past forty years of my life. I have also read Verified History and Biblical Commentaries concerning what is known as ‘End Times’, ‘Last Days’ or ‘Jacob’s Trouble’. I don’t have a blasted degree, but for goodness’ sake, I got scholarships and grants to take Computer Science for my great grades in High School. I make this point since people have an idiotic view that Christians are stupid people. I AM NOT.

Could the Christian Rapture happen between now and sundown 09/08 – sure! Could the Christian Rapture happen after Rosh Hashanah 2021 is over – sure! Could the Christian Rapture happen AT ANY TIME from now until most of us are already dead – sure! As an intellectual learner I still don’t claim to have all of the answers or set calendar for Christian Rapture. Since the apostles during the time of Christ on Earth, we are supposed to WATCH and PRAY until we do SEE certain things happen to make us AWARE. If we don’t leave tomorrow then we MUST try to have a Christian Revival!

As tired as I am my RMS is still in remission so I want to share my Faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, Lord, King, and God of Creation in the Son with EVERY SINGLE PERSON I CAN. I know HE LIVES because HE LIVES in my heart. I received a spiritual blood transfusion from Calvary’s Cross from Jesus Christ by Faith, so I want others to know His Freedom, His Mercy, His Grace, and His Love. As much as I love my family, there is NO ONE else who has loved me the way my Savior has. I’m PROOF that what the Holy Bible says is the TRUTH, NOW AND FOREVER MORE!

Jesus Christ will take us to Heaven at the Judgment Seat of Christ where believers will be given Gifts for their service and then the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will be celebrated. I want ALL who will believe to share in this with me. AFTER the Great Tribulation and Battle of Armageddon then the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ will begin with Him on His throne in Israel like King David to be perfection completed. No matter what you have done, where you are from, or what religion you have been part of before, I want you to know that JESUS WANTS YOU! You are precious.

Each individual soul is unlike any other. Each person is a singularity that can’t be replaced. YOU might be the one person who can reach the last person to be saved before Jesus Christ returns. We ALL should study the Holy Bible, question the current teachings and historical proof, and WATCH what is happening HERE. Wherever you are right now, something needs to be done to share Jesus Christ with someone else. No one knows everything, but you can share what you do know and lead others to know Christ as Savior before He returns. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow…

“Rosh Hashanah Rapture OR Revival Rapture!” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©09/04/2021

I already did an Op-Ed concerning the possibility of Rosh Hashanah being the time when the Rapture or ‘spiritual evacuation of those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior from each of our individual mortal bodies at the same time’ happens supernaturally once the last human soul has accepted Salvation through Faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ for his or her mortal sins that is in every person at birth happens in present Grace Church dispensation occurs. Rosh Hashanah happens from September 6 through September 8 in 2021, so that means Christians could leave in 2-4 more days. While this is possible, it is NOT an absolute. Some theologians have theorized when Jesus Christ told His apostles, “No man knows the day or the hour” that it was a Jewish colloquialism for Rosh Hashanah, as I’ve mentioned before.

I DON’T KNOW. I’m a born-again Christian believer in Faith through accepting the atonement given by the Blood of Jesus Christ shed on Calvary for humanity’s sins. The Rosh Hashanah theory could simply be a way for men feeling more in control of their destiny or a way for Satan to interfere with the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Either is possible, but I know one thing is ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN – Jesus Christ WILL RETURN to supernaturally evacuate ALL of HIS believers! Some like me believe it will be BEFORE the Great Tribulation begins. Some believe it will happen DURING that time. My reason why I believe before is what the Bible says about the anti-Christ that seems point out he can’t take control UNTIL the believers in Christ are REMOVED since the Holy Spirit is in each one of us.

IF this interpretation of the Holy Bible about WHEN means BEFORE the Tribulation, and IF Jesus Christ did mean for Rosh Hashanah to be THAT time, THEN I and millions to billions of people might disappear in two days! IF NOT then it means that one point of a Jewish holiday that literally is interpreted as ‘no man knows the day or the hour’ because it spans two days from sundown of one to sundown of the next was NOT meant for Christians to point to as the Rapture time. In other words, DON’T FREAK OUT! This is ONLY a possibility. Christians are ALSO told in the Holy Bible to be aware of the seasons and times to SEE what I happening, and if Afghanistan isn’t then I’m a Martian… and I’m NOT. This changed the landscape of the Middle East to be ripe for the anti-Christ to take over as a ‘man of peace’.

The song, “Maybe Today” by White Heart really DOES give Christians the RIGHT perspective about how we all SHOULD be continuing to PREACH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ALWAYS! I might leave here supernaturally in two days, but IF I DON’T THEN I will still be sharing my FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST until I do. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE. While even so-called scientists no longer believe in scientific absolutes, this supernatural ABSOLUTE IS INFINITE. It doesn’t change. It doesn’t waver. It doesn’t alter. It’s doesn’t bend. IT IS because HE IS I AM, like the song by Petra. All the Christian songs I have listened to since my childhood through teenage and adulthood STAND FIRM. If they spoke of Jesus Christ, His deity, His life, His death, His resurrection, His return, and His reign, THEN they STAND FIRM.

From The Imperials, Cathedrals, Inspirations, Kingsmen, Hinsons, Paynes, Rambos, Hemphills, Truth, and others in Southern Gospel to White Heart, Petra, Carman, D.C. Talk, Allies, Farrell & Farrell, Geoff Moore & the Distance, Jars of Clay, Kim Boyce, Eric Champion, Michael W. Smith, Kutless, MercyMe, Newsboys, Russ Taff, Skillet, Stryper, Hawk Nelson, Casting Crowns, Toby Mac, Disciple, and others in Contemporary Gospel or Christian Rock ALL point to Jesus Christ as being Savior, Lord, King, and God of Creation as the Son aspect of our Triune God. Many have tried to silence this reality, destroy this human history, and even ban these beliefs that can CHANGE ANYONE ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME. Many governments outlawed Christianity and believers still die if they believe. Are we in America still able to?

In TWO TO FOUR DAYS, we might find out IF we truly believe in what Jesus Christ said, did, and promised. Are you a ‘sitting on the pew’ kind of religious person OR are you a ‘Jesus God ahold of My Life and Won’t Let Go!” Born-Again Believer in JESUS CHRIST? Not religious. Not superstitious. Not spiritualist. Died-in-the-heart Believer! Believing Jesus Christ died for YOUR SINS gives you a Blood Transformation! What He shed is placed on your own account in Heaven’s records of humanity to read, “PAID IN FULL”! ONLY FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST DOES THAT. You CAN’T earn it. You CAN’T work for it. You CAN’T mentally attain it. You CAN’T die to get it. You CAN’T do anything BUT BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR. THAT is what CHANGES your status in Heaven.

I don’t try to only live closer to God as Rosh Hashanah approaches. I try to live for Him EVERY DAY. I fail all the time since I’m still in this mortal body that still wants to sin, and my mind is the battleground of the enemy to try to make me fail to do things like what I’m writing right now. I FAIL. JESUS NEVER DOES! Like the song I adore by the old group TRUTH, “Jesus Never Fails”! You can get the 25th anniversary edition from 1997 on iTunes still or see video on YouTube put up by robbase1969 from the “KEEPER OF MY HEART” album 1982. This song is STILL so powerful by TRUTH with the Truth of the Lord Jesus Christ with His Power, His Glory, His Grace, His Mercy, and His Love for ALL OF HUMANITY. ANYONE can be saved. No race, country, origin, or background required! ANYONE!!!

If NOT Rosh Hashanah in 2021 THEN we NEED a REVIVAL in 2021! With all the craziness going on around the entire world WE NEED A CHRISTIAN REVIVAL! I’ve been FREE to live as a real Christian since I was saved at 8 years old. I just turned 49 on the 1st of September in 2021, so I’ve enjoyed FREEDOM with my FAITH for MY WHOLE LIFE. China, Russia, Iran, Nigeria, and many other socialist, communist, and authoritarian countries DO NOT ALLOW CHRISTIANITY – THEY KILL CHRISTIANS! Some know this and give to groups trying to help those believers, BUT THIS should get Americans to WAKE UP! Our Democratic-Republic is being destroyed. ARE YOU WILLING TO DIE FOR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST? Many of us don’t even go to church, so could we claim Christ when facing death?

I hope I could be that brave and steadfast if seeing torture instruments to be used on me to make me deny Christ. IT COULD HAPPEN IN AMERICA! They might try taking away jobs so you can’t buy food for you or your family first, but some in our present government is trying to label any conservative viewpoint as terroristic! THAT IS INSANE, but it is being said on regular television programs RIGHT NOW! They might ban ALL of our individual social media accounts to try to silence us since many have had that happen to them already. I might lose my platforms too, but I’ll post TRUTH as long as I can. I’m a loud-mouthed, Born-Again, Spirit-Filled, Child of God Almighty through my Faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ as payment for my sins, so I’ll try to do what my EIRINTH Book 4 is named: “DEFY THE STORM”!

Are you ready for the storm that’s coming? If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, you might face a storm unlike any you’ve had before. WHEN millions to billions of people worldwide disappear like characters in ENDGAME did, are you ready for the insanity that will descend? You might not understand or want any spiritual link with any god, but God Almighty is giving us all time to realize that what the Christian Holy Bible said would happen is RIGHT NOW. Do I think we might have a couple more years? – Maybe. Do I think Rosh Hashanah 2021 might be the time for us to be taken? – Maybe. I don’t know, but things are getting worse every day. I try to follow guidance Jesus Christ gave to His apostles in His time…WATCH. I’m watching, waiting, sharing, praying, writing, and posting.

In Matthew 24:42, Jesus Christ says, “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.” He repeats it in Matthew 25:13. “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” True Christians should be WATCHING! Do you SEE what’s happening? I’ll use a Scottish phrase “DO YOU KEN IT?” meaning “Do you KNOW IT?” I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT I KNOW that Jesus Christ is coming back. Will it be in the next two to four days? I don’t KNOW. I simply think it’s POSSIBLE. Am I going to keep raising the alarm until He does? YES! I want as many souls as possible to know my Jesus Christ as Savior before the Rapture happens. This is THE SPIRITUAL ENDGAME! People who claim to be Christian NEED to make sure THEY ARE SAVED to reach others!

Even if it happens that we have as long as a decade, Christians still NEED A REVIVAL! We are supposed to be the radiant Bride of Christ when the Rapture happens. I DON’T SEE A RADIANT CHURCH NOW. I see the bunch of compromising or legalistic religious groups that don’t seem to even realize that WE NEED ACTUAL REVIVAL! God Almighty, help me, but I’ll even put on pantyhose and wear a dress or dress-suit if someone will BEGIN A REVIVAL! I’ll sing as much as I can until my voice gives out if SOMEONE just BEGINS A REVIVAL! There are those that are in highways and byways that we need to REACH. Why do you think I’ve been writing my novels and songs if not to reach THOSE SPECIFIC PEOPLE? That is MY CALLING. What is yours? GET BUSY TO REACH AND REVIVE!

“Afghanistan Pivot to Biblical Prophecy 2021” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©08/20/2021

I’m not a doctored historian, degreed theologian, or someone who has all of the answers to what every single prophecy means to Christians in America and around the world. I’m sitting in the middle of our bed and watching the news like most people my age or older are right now, and America pulling out of our country’s foreign embassy as all Afghan interpreters are left behind is making me shake my head and search my heart for the inner peace Jesus gives. I keep reminding myself that Rosh Hashanah is nearing, and some believers think it will be when Jesus Christ returns to hover in the sky as He evacuates ALL of His believers before the Great Tribulation period begins. The Eschatological prophecies can be seen in this latest event that indicates the governments in Revelation are close to being set up.

Have Christian preachers taught this for as long as I’ve been alive? Yes. Have I studied enough of the Holy Bible for myself to compare what is needed for final parts of any prophecy to happen so I would know when it wasn’t time yet? Yes. Am I concerned because we are nearing Rosh Hashanah since this seems to be coming together a little too quickly? Yes. Will I keep praying to be ready in case Jesus Christ DOES show up in the air to take His people out? YES! So many prophecies have seemed to be fulfilled in the last few years. I’ve been trying to write things to get Saved and Unsaved to understand what seems to be happening. I don’t know specifics to lay out as a blueprint for the Rapture, but reading the Bible prophecies, comparing them to the news, and praying for what I should or shouldn’t say IS what I’m doing.

I have five more books for my Fantasy novel series to write and publish. I have several songs to put to music so I can record them and release my first LP. I’m trying to write these Op-Eds to get through to those who happen to go to my different social media sites so they can maybe learn the TRUTH, find Salvation in JESUS CHRIST, and realize that all of the idiocy of this world isn’t worth losing your SOUL! I’ve been looking for the evidence of the Last Great Revival that I thought Christians would be having years ago, but then the pandemic happened. We have the online options to reach souls now, and that might be how that revival happens, but I’m not seeing any signs that it is happening yet. Rosh Hashanah or not, the LAST soul to find Salvation through Faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, Lord, and God will launch the Rapture.

The Christian Rapture actually is an EVACUATION. If you’ve been taught in church that we’re all just going to get better or go to a new level of spirituality so Jesus will come back to be King and we’ll be happy… then you haven’t read the whole CHRISTIAN BIBLE. The Great Tribulation is a REALITY for the world’s future at some point. If things keep lining up like they have been, it might be sooner rather than later in my lifetime. I don’t want to scare people like a group did back in the 1990’s about what would happen in 2000 because the computers would all shut down. Or in 1985 that had people selling everything in preparation of leaving. I ask for every person to examine your heart to see if you do belong to Jesus Christ. I’m not perfect, but when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior, my heart belonged to Him!

Studying the Old Testament prophecy books like Ezekiel and the New Testament books like Revelation has led me to the understanding that fits with what the Assembly of God and Evangelical churches believe when it comes to the signs Christians are supposed to look for and the timing of certain prophecies that will lead to more being fulfilled even sooner than had ever previously thought was possible. Technology has come along to actually make some of the verses seem more plausible since so many weird and scary things are possible to create. History and Archaeology also have an additional level that explains what happened in the Old Testament that might happen AGAIN to explain more verses. If more theologians took actual giants as reality then maybe they would be closer to seeing the other signs happening.

If you can’t tell by many or even most of my Op-Eds – I’M ANGRY. The fact that I wrecked our car after my 30 years of no tickets or wrecks makes me be upset. The continued pandemic restrictions not supported by science make me be frustrated. The inability to decide what I need to focus on first with what I believe the Lord still wants me to do for as long as we’re still here makes me be aggravated. That’s regular life. I’M ANGRY AT THE CHURCH. Over the last 39 years I’ve been in churches, listened online, or watched through media, but I’m now asking that with all that’s happened why hasn’t the Last Great Revival happened? For one, they refuse to let the Holy Spirit into their services to see lives be changed. Not all churches allow that, but why are so many of the so-called ‘Full Gospel’ churches still being MIA?

I know churches have been closed. I know attendance had fallen even before the pandemic. I know many have been so discouraged by all that has been going on in our country and the world for a decade or more. All of those things and more combine to keep us from being as ‘spiritual’ as we need to be to even open up to the Holy Spirit or His Gifts. While I have a problem with churches that demand pantyhose for women since I speak in other tongues wearing blue jeans, I still own dresses, skirt-suits, short heels, and the dratted pantyhose, so it’s not that I can’t dress that way. I’m against being forced to comply with anyone’s man-made rule. If I sing at a church then I try to wear the clothes that church would deem appropriate since a minister of any gift is to be everything to everyone as Apostle Paul stated.

I’m not sure how this Afghanistan situation is going to affect us in the short term. I know that particular area is always included in Christian prophecy, especially End-Times related ones, but presently I’m seeing a possibility for the prophecy piece to be placed that might make things speed up more. If that happens then the True Church of Jesus Christ needs to be working even harder to get the Gospel to as many people as possible in America and around the world. I’m not sure what is causing the interference unless demonic powers are putting oppression over many Christians that they can’t break free. I’ve had my moments of sadness many times recently, so I know how that can keep people from even wanting to reach out to someone else in the midst of it, but if Jesus Christ did it on the Cross for us then we must try!

Denominations is another word for divisions, but it used to be only concerning concepts of our Faith, NOT a complete disconnect from each other since we were ALL fellow believers in Jesus Christ as Savior, and only had few differences in preferences and practices; NOW? It seems our main cohesion through Christ is being eroded by all the differences taking over the similarities. JESUS should be our focus! While I believe in allowing the Holy Spirit Gifts during services, the preaching of the Gospel with Jesus Christ dying for our sins is the ONLY way for Salvation. The Spiritual Gifts later is awesome, and sometimes the Lord fills a person with the Gifts at the same time, but the most important thing to be known is JESUS DIED FOR YOU! Regardless of any difference, Jesus died FOR YOU!

I was born in America. I have never been attacked, molested, shot, or otherwise terrorized for being a Christian. If I can’t get excited over my sins being washed away by the Blood of Jesus Christ in my place, then there’s NOTHING else that could! Not going to Hell is the best side-effect of accepting Jesus Christ as Savior, but KNOWING Him in a personal way through prayer, reading the Christian Holy Bible, singing songs of Faith with others who feel the same way in service to share each other’s problems while still be uplifted since better is coming are ways for that to happen. It’s not a way to be brainwashed. It’s not group hallucination. When two or more are in His presence then HE is with them. This is the ‘in one accord’ in the New Testament that is needed for the Holy Spirit to even move. We NEED One-Accordance!

Christians and other groups in Afghanistan are at risk this day 08/20/2021. As a Christian I’m really sick at heart with what these people are facing. It is also why I posted about needing to be excited that I have NEVER faced terrors in America. With how our country is being shredded, though, I don’t know how much longer that will be true. I’ll keep on posting, singing, writing, and doing whatever else I need to do for as long as I’m free, but we don’t even know if THAT will be taken at any time with how things are still so controlled due to the pandemic. If ever Christians in America tried praying for not only themselves but those in Afghanistan and around the world then it would be NOW. There are a few countries where Christianity is deemed as an offense punishable by death in 2021. PRAY like never before!

Evening of September 6, 2021 until evening of September 8, 2021 is Rosh Hashanah this year. I’ve noted before that some believe that ‘No man knows the day or the hour’ in the New Testament is a colloquialism used by Jesus Christ that refers to His return in the air to take away His believers as told to the Apostles. I don’t know and don’t want to only ‘behave’ more during that time each year either. As followers of Christ, we need to try to be His Body on Earth until He comes to evacuate us to safety before the Great Tribulation. God the Father’s focus will go to Israel for their prophecies promised to be finally done after the True Church is taken out and then when we return for the Battle of Armageddon. I believe in the ‘Pre-Tribulation’ view, so I’m a Pre-Tribber. Mid-Trib might be possible, but Post or No Trib isn’t.

If you don’t agree with me does that mean if you know Jesus Christ as your Savior that I don’t consider you a brother or sister in Christ over that alone? No! We can decide to not agree on many points of our Faith and still be like-minded in all other things. I love all kinds of music from Southern Gospel to Christian Rock or Contemporary. Others might not allow many or any of the instruments in these genres, but that doesn’t change that Jesus Christ is the glue to bind us ALL together at this time in this changing atmosphere and ties. The world NEEDS JESUS! Can we put aside differences and focus on what we have in common to see souls saved while we can? Is the pettiness of some in church against others so much that it is what keeps Revival outside of their doors? Examine yourselves and SHARE JESUS!

“Forgive and Help Saul so He Becomes Paul!” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©08/10/2021

One of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through has been watching something I created to encourage believers and be used to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a way like C.S. Lewis did but then watch as those I thought understood and supported reaching the souls my heart longs to see be saved to instead judge it as something they couldn’t get behind for being different. In the days of Christ the spirit of the Pharisees was dead legalism, and this still blinds some even now. Paul was meant to become the apostle for the Gentiles, but he was a religious man who was killing Christians as Saul first. He had to finally be knocked off of his donkey and blinded on the road to Damascus for him to SEE JESUS and become Paul the apostle. How could Christians back then forgive Saul even after his conversion for what he’d done before?

How many of these “Paul-s” have had those claiming to be Christian denounce them because they only remember a Saul instead of a rebirthed Paul? Or is the meaning behind the gifts or ministries of any new “Paul” given for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ being dismissed since it might only reach a few? Are churches afraid that a REAL REVIVAL will begin because of those against their dead messages who instead actually PREACH NEW LIFE IN CHRIST? I know that churches MUST verify Gifts and ministries used in services, but I also think that some are too scared when it comes to certain Gifts being allowed. If a church is NOT full-gospel then that’s their right; if a church CLAIMS to BE FULL-GOSPEL then they better stop giving FALSE advertising of Gifts that aren’t being allowed in service by members!

I’ve been to several different church denominations over my almost 49 years now, and although I agree most with the Assembly of God teachings and King James Bible, I have gone to and/or sung in Baptist, Brethren, Church of Christ, Nazarene, and even Catholic churches. I’m Full-Gospel but against legalism and lean to Non-Denominational now. I can wear a dress or skirt-suit if necessary with hose and heels, but I prefer my sneakers, blue jeans, and witnessing tee-shirts. Many can’t afford the kind of clothes that some churches seem to demand once someone is ‘Born-Again’. I’m ashamed that some people won’t darken a church door because they fear rejection for that alone! I agree we can’t have people not properly covered, but judging others when you haven’t walked down the path in their shoes is wrong if you won’t help.

No, I don’t agree with the ‘anything goes’ mentality that some ‘progressive’ churches practice either, but outward appearance seems to be the sign of ‘righteousness’ that some churches preach instead of Grace. Rules exclude people who might not even have what they need to buy food sometimes. Even though my parents were both retired on Social Security I did wear dresses when I was about eleven so I would be ‘accepted’ by leaders to then sing in church. My point is that the True Church of the Lord Jesus Christ needs to be looking for those “Saul-s” that are supposed to become “Paul-s” for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be preached EVERYWHERE TO EVERYONE… especially to those without pantyhose! ‘Judge not lest ye be judged!’ Remember that scripture? The True Church needs to be focusing on sharing the Gospel NOT law.

I have been used openly with Messages in Tongues in churches, but I have also been used when I was given them but spoke under my voice out of respect for that denomination’s teachings. The pastor gave the Interpretations to them so he obviously had that Gift even if he didn’t publically acknowledge it. I didn’t have a problem with how God worked out the Messages being Interpreted ‘under the radar’ sort-of-speak, but I still long to see the days of ALL of God’s Gifts being used in concert during a service in a church brave enough to allow the Holy Spirit to break free to set people free in a way nothing else ever could! I’ve seen it happen in person in my teenage years! Saul had to be knocked down to become Paul. Some church people need knocked out in church service – by the Holy Spirit of God not by people – and life changing.

I’ve NEVER been afraid of letting God Almighty of the Christian Faith to allow my mouth and tongue move the way the Holy Spirit was in control of doing because I TRUST THE GIFTS SINCE I KNOW THE SAVIOR WHO SENT THEM! This did NOT end when the original apostles died. Peter told the apostles on the Day of Pentecost that the Gifts were FOR THEM, THEIR CHILDREN, THEIR CHILDREN’S CHILDREN, AND THOSE AFAR OFF. I’m just one of THOSE AFAR OFF! I’m not brainwashed. I didn’t take a course to learn how to do this. I wasn’t given instructions by a shrouded guru. I felt the Holy Spirit overshadow me in service and shook me gently but with purpose. The church stilled, and I called out to the Pastor that I needed the Gift of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of Speaking in other Tongues.

“Come on down!” was the reply, and I went up front to the Pastor. He simply touched my forehead lightly as he prayed, and I went down under the Power of God Almighty through His Holy Spirit to begin having initial stuttering lips. THIS IS REAL. I’M PROOF! I was only 13 years old, but I never doubted the Gifts when the Holy Spirit would still the service and begin speaking through me in a tongue I’d never known before! I wasn’t afraid because the Everlasting Love of My Savior would FILL ME with such Joy and Completion unlike anything else I have experienced. It’s amazing when you allow that kind of connection with God Almighty Our Creator. I pray in the Spirit daily, but Gifts like Messages, the Interpretations, and Prophecies are something for God’s Glory to His church and unbelievers to show HIS POWER.

Paul told the Gentile churches that they needed to let the Holy Spirit fill them so they could show the world that God Almighty was Lord of everything, able to do anything, and wanting to know all who would know HIM if they just give up their authority and give His their permission to flow through them to reach others for Him. It’s not for any to be church superstars or more important than someone else. These Gifts are only for HIS GLORY to reach the dying world NOW MORE THAN EVER BEFORE! How things are shaping up in 2021 makes me wonder how much longer Grace Dispensation or the Church Age will continue. We need the LAST GREAT REVIVAL before the Rapture of Christian believers happens, but how can it when churches refuse to let the Holy Spirit into their buildings let alone their hearts?

If Saul hadn’t been taken in by the disciple Ananias as the Lord had spoken when Saul was still blind from seeing Jesus appear to him on the road to Damascus then Paul never would have become the Apostle for Gentiles. That would’ve been one of the greatest losses the church would’ve had then. How many new “Paul-s” were left behind because judging ‘disciples’ who God told to get him refused for fear of incriminating letters that “Saul” carried before Christ claimed him? How many new “Paul-s” now are trying to do something that might lead your children or grandchildren to Jesus but have been stopped due to a misunderstanding or prejudice that says, “Only THIS type of ministry is acceptable – not yours!”? Yes, there are limits so don’t misunderstand me, but why are so many fearful of things NOT against Biblical teachings?

Who came to the grave of Jesus Christ to find He had risen? A former prostitute! Are you going to cast out former Mary Magdalene-s since they don’t fit your mold? Who do you think you are as church leaders? Not of God if you refuse to see the beam in your own eye while kicking out those with a speck in theirs! No, you wouldn’t let a former sex offender teach Sunday school, but maybe if you really believed in ATONEMENT then you might at least disciple that person with the Word of God to be made whole! Yes, Sorcerer “Simon-s” exist out there that want to ‘buy’ the Holy Spirit, but a Gift of Discernment would keep it from happening if you would allow the Holy Spirit full access to your services. If we truly believe ‘There’s Power in The Blood’ then maybe we could let that Holy Power He sent Save, Deliver, Heal, and Fill!

We MUST forgive Saul! Even if he holds the parchment with our name on it for punishment by the Synagogue or Rome, we MUST forgive SAUL! If we don’t then how can we have “Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” We CAN’T LET jealousy, envy, pride, doctrine, or personal feelings make us dismiss a SAUL once he’s on his way to being PAUL! Who are ANY of US to interfere with the Will of God Almighty when it comes to WHO HE WANTS IN HIS CHURCH?! I’d wear a dress every time I’d go through the door if I could find a church that actually LET God’s Holy Spirit work there!

Am I still hurt over something I worked on for seven years and spent hundreds of dollars to bring to life to reach those my heart is longing to go to Heaven that need that extra push that’s different from just religion? Yes, because it has a story that shows Forgiveness, Family, Faith, Gifts, Love, Redemption, Rescue, and so many things that can show Jesus to people the way our Savior appeared to Paul on that road! Do I hate those who misunderstood and stopped it being used the way God intended on one platform? No, since God will use another if it’s HIS will. Does it prod me on to write songs, keep marketing my novels, and do Op-Eds to maybe reach ONE soul to find faith in Christ? YES!!! Is what I do perfect? NO! Is anything anyone else here does perfect right now? NO! We ALL need to be redeemed by Jesus Christ!

Forgive Saul and let him be Paul! Help him be restored. Help him learn the Bible. Help him to believe so he can write songs, books, or even speak to groups that need HIS testimony the most! I’m not a theologian, but I do KNOW the Word of God and try to LIVE by it even though I fail. We are ALL still Living by Faith. I will stand one day on my own before the Judgement Seat of Christ to give an account of my life and see things burn in the crucible, but I also KNOW I will see some gold, silver, and precious stones in the midst of the wood, hay, and stubble. I don’t want to ever see that I failed to love, support, and help someone in church to grow but instead judged them as needing to be something more to my own standards selfishly. I might judge fallen angels one day, but we’re NOT supposed to hurt the new Paul-s!

Paul was the one who warned us in Galatians 5:9 that, “A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.” I have tried to make sure what I wrote in my parable-style stories was not filled with leaven but the concepts of Christ that would reach beyond mere religious platitudes and SHOW JESUS in a way the world, and hopefully the church would find to give us what we need in these final days of Grace. If I failed, it will burn in front of me. If I succeeded then maybe one soul was saved. Between that I have to try to NOT dismiss the new Paul-s and instead encourage them with the Gifts and callings from our Savior for the souls needing saved, delivered, healed, and filled to FIND JESUS when the Holy Spirit restores communion with God Almighty by the Holy Spirit inside as the restored Pneuma that humanity lost when Adam fell!

Someone can be saved without ever allowing the Gifts to be used through them. Everyone who accepts Jesus as Savior has the Holy Spirit restore where the Pneuma used to be so that you can commune with the Father. The Blood of Jesus Christ saves each believer. The Filling is an Overflow of the Gifts from within that the Holy Spirit can only use in you if you give Him permission. I’ve known several people in my life that never spoke in Tongues but had Gifts that all were obviously from God just not as visible as some of the more public ones can be. While I completely agree with Peter about the Gifts and Paul about the leaven, I also know that each person has to decide what they want to do for the Savior and let Him guide you through the Holy Bible with the understanding the Holy Spirit can give. Paul tells all about it!

Un-forgiveness is a hurt that will cripple you through your life. If someone has hurt you then you must give it to Jesus for Him to heal that pain and allow you to let it go. It’s not easy, especially when it happens from someone that you trusted and felt kindred with in church or your own family. The hurt still tries to stop what God wants for you to do even if you keep forgiving by choice. Even offering an olive branch sometimes doesn’t work no matter how you try to mend a rift the enemy is trying to use against you, but remember the promise given in “Isaiah 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.” Amen and amen!
