Peace Beyond Understanding: Here’s How to Find It

 GOD STILL SPEAKS

Pastor Joshua Giles firmly believes that God continues to speak today.  “When you are in true relationship with someone, there is conversation.  Communication is not a one-sided experience.  Communication is not only speaking, but also hearing as you are being spoken to,” he says.  “I am totally convinced that God still speaks today – through the sacred Scriptures of the Bible.”  He also believes that there are a number of other modes through which God speaks, namely, through an audible voice, an impression on the heart, other people, and with signs, visions, and various types of dreams.  Joshua offers a number of steps to sharpen our ability to hear from God, such as:

·       Pray and ask the Lord what’s on His heart for you. 
·       Praise and worship Him.
·       Read a Scripture from the Bible that speaks to your spirit.
·       After those steps, stop and listen quietly in His presence.
·       Write down what you hear Him saying to you. 
·       Ask yourself, “Does what I heard agree with the Bible?”  God will never speak contrary to His written Word.

A CRACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE  

Some years ago, Joshua was in Washington, DC for an opportunity to share God’s Word, and had also been invited to the White House.  It was Christmastime, so the White House was decorated magnificently and Joshua felt very honored to be there with the other guests.  After the meeting, there was a festive party with people from many walks of life, all laughing and enjoying themselves.  “But in the midst of the evening’s celebration,” he says, “’I felt sorrow, as if my spirit was weeping.”  Then Joshua describes a vision in which the walls of the White House stood out.  “I could see the most striking meandering fracture spreading in the wall going all the way down to the floor.  I heard the words, ‘a crack in the wall of the White House.’”  He was confused by this image at first until he thought about it more.  “This crack in the White House wall was symbolic of a fracture in the foundation of the nation.  I saw it spreading, and I perceived that the crack is due to the moral decay, corruption, wickedness, and idolatry.  People have turned away from serving God.  Many leaders within government, and some leaders within the church have turned against the ways and principles of the Most High God.” 

Over the next several years, Joshua sensed that a number of shifts will take place in government in the years ahead.  Two of those are:

·       “A shift is coming to political and government leaders.  God will begin to judge those who have corrupt hearts.  Those who operate as Saul did will become weaker in their influence and reach.  Those who operate like David did will rise and come into prominence.”

·       “A shift is coming politically with young people.  There will be a clashing of ideologies and values.  Out of the clashing, a remnant of young adults, teenagers, and children will rise with a voice like a trumpet.  That remnant will stand for biblical values.  They will be the voice of the future,” he believes. 

WEATHER WATCH

“I have always been fascinated with weather,” Joshua admits.  “Weather is going to become more and more destructive in our world.  It will become more noticeable as massive superstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, monsoons, and the like sweep through the earth,” he says.  One of those ways, Joshua says, is through artificial weather systems.  “The Lord showed me that artificial weather systems are being created and used by governments and nations around world.  In the realm of the spirit, I could see these manmade machines.  Some were sitting out in and even under the ocean, far away from people.  These technologically advanced systems have the ability to produce hurricanes and powerful storms that could spawn tornadoes, monsoons, and the like.” 

Another danger to watch, Joshua says, is experimentation with the sun by those with ill motives.  “They are studying it so closely already to see if they can duplicate its effects and even block out the components of it that they don’t want.  This will prove disastrous.  They cannot play as though they are God.  There is only one God, and His creation and ability to govern our world cannot be mimicked, mocked, or duplicated.”     

AI AND THE BEAST

Artificial intelligence, or AI, can be used for much good, but is also a tool that Joshua believes can be quite dangerous.  “AI is technology that enables computers, software, digital programs, and machines to simulate human functions or intelligence by carrying out human tasks and problem solving, often at a rate much faster and more efficient than humans,” he says.  “AI will also be used by the world, however, to advance a satanic agenda.  Wicked leaders have already wielded it to control, restrict, and direct the population.  Soon AI will become unmanageable and unruly, and will be the driving force of the beast system,” he says, referring to the demonic creature presented in the book of Revelation.  One way Joshua sees this danger coming to pass is in how we pay for things.  “In the coming months and years, you will see AI dominate how we buy and sell.  The Lord showed me that we won’t need credit cards, debit cards, or paper money in the future.  Stores will have such sophisticated recognition technology that they will be able to scan the palm of your hand or your eyes.  Digital money will then be deducted from your online account.  And if people present themselves as oppositional to society, their buying and selling ability will be shut down,” he warns. 

THE NEXT GENERATION

Joshua has great hope for the younger generation.  “I believe that the Body of Christ is entering the day of the next generation.  This is a time where the up-and-coming generation of the world will begin to emerge with a passion and a zeal for the things of God,” he says.  “Take a more in-depth look at how God wants to use young people powerfully today: ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.’ (Acts 2:17) This demonstration of God’s power will be poured upon all,” Joshua points out.  “Teenagers, young adults, and people of all ages can take part in what God is going to do.  There will be a demonstration of God’s power in this last-day move like we have never seen before.  This unprecedented manifestation will come through His sons and daughters.  The true end-time sons and daughters of God will arise with boldness out of obscurity and show forth the matchless power of God!”
