God told me that I’m already here. I still don’t fully understand, but…
I’m in Eden. He wants to create something new through me.
He does through you, too… Backstory below. Long, but important to Him.
I realized last year that, I was not okay. I was broken. Serverely broken, sad, mad, betrayed, hurting… I needed healing. Help. Change. But, how? No one knew… I went to anyone and everyone who’d listen. And got, more emptiness… So, I decided to go to God because the world had nothing to offer me anymore… This was my last option…
I didn’t go to worldly things with all of my faith that “things” would heal me… I was not about to beg my family for $10,000 to get these “life changing and saving” holistic medical treatments. Because; God’s Word says, “freely you have received, freely you shall give.” I wanted to know what that meant.
I truly sat and waited on the Lord. And he finally revealed to me that… All this crap in the world we deal with—we are just fighting ourselves. Any time we are frustrated, we are frustrated because we are holding something inauthentically… That the Lord did not design for us. Whether that be unforgiveness, whether that be a rotten seeded core belief, and instead of replacing whatever that lie is with the word of God, we continue to ignore it because ignoring it is comfortable. That’s our, what I now call, “auto pilot”. And the auto pilot is killing us slowly and silently. It is of the world.
We don’t want to change. We resist it. We want to live in the comfortable box of our self created life… Is this what God created for us? I don’t think so… Because, one day I woke up in my own PRISON. Praise God the door was still open… I don’t think God created schools, institutions, corporations, division, confusion, control and governments. I think those are all created by man, whom gathered the knowledge from, you know… Can God use these things for His good? Sure, absolutely. Always. He’s sovereign. But has that been happening, truly? No… Think of CPS, for example. Police departments when you report groomed children, abused children. LOL. If you’ve ever had to report these things, you know.
I see people fighting for freedom, for justice, for the world to change. To fix the [dying] institutions, governments, communities, corporations, demanding these things. Why are you trying to fix creations of lucifer? The Lord never asked us to fix the world… He told us to come out of it.
After this whole experience I have encountered the last 9 months with the Lord God of host, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Messiah… The Holy Spirit Himself — I have realized that (especially with the time change), Eden is here. New heaven and new earth (yeah, we don’t leave. He comes here) is built over a process, laid out in His Word. And it has already started. I believe the world will begin to have tribulation. Does judgment not come in phases? God‘s people, the leaders, the church, and then the world.
I believe some of us will see beauty and the rise, the extinction of death, as in demonic death, breaking the teeth of the wicked, cutting the tongues, heads and tails of these principalities, breaking chains of bondage we’ve carried unknowingly for a lifetime. Exposure, treading down of wicked. The Truth shines, the meaning(s) of maga, divination, hatred of brethren, the wise humbled & the humbled exalted. I believe we will see things like, INFLUEN(ZA) —almost like influence, eh?— for what it really is, and things of such…
If you are in the world, what you are about to experience is going to be and feel like a death. A death of everything you have ever known. It is a painful experience, and it is excruciating when you are not realizing that this is God stripping you of man-made doctrine. Of the worship of the hands… The worship of the work of the hands… I believe some will be refined, transformed from within. Season in the wilderness, loneliness, isolation, lack… Because YOU my brother or sister, are God’s. And you do have a choice to “come out of her”. Is it easy? Nope. But it’s right, true, good… He will protect, guide and honor your surrender… He will personally equip you. Forging you in His fire. Because…
We all pass through the fire. Which fire, and HOW you pass, IS, your choice. Free will my brothers and sisters. The thing is: it does not change the ending. His ending. Which… Is not an ending. It’s a beginning.
But—some will turn away from the discipline of the Lord. His Fatherly discipline. Some will become angry, hardER hearted… Get sick, REFUSE help, carry pride (a very heavy burden of ego), and… They’ll choose death. God says some WILL perish in order to save their salvation… You have a choice of buying gold refined by Him, which is reflected in Him transforming you from within, a washing, a cleansing of your spirit… A death and resurrection. A life changing, physical, DNA altering, blood cleansing process WITH and BY the Most High God. Or, you have a choice to cling to death, things of the world that are passing away. This is clear—I see this clearly after I have walked through His fire…
Yes, God is sovereign and in control of everything. But there is a point where He is going to say, fine, I will give you exactly what you want… He WILL remove His covering, delivering you to what you’re clinging to in the world, and inevitably—death will come. The debt collector will always show. I say this because it is the truth, it happened to me. And I LOVE ALL… My Fathers will IS now also mine — THAT NONE PERISH, BUT ALL COME TO REPENTANCE…
Simultaneously, His children here are starting to build His plans, the regeneration… it is… Quite literally our Savior Shepherding us. He has REMOVED us from the world. Something IS happening — am I going to claim I know EXACTLY His plans? No… But I DO KNOW the Bible says that He has plans for a future, and for us to prosper… So, until I see that, I stand on that and allow Him to guide me.
I believe it is the beginning of the cleansing. It is the stewardship of LIFE. It is the Spirit moving across his people, to reach more people… His Living Water, His Manna, His Spirit bringing forth FRUIT through those of us who’ve walked away, lost, let go of all we knew to run to Him…
I have just learned all of that over the last 9 months, PAINFUL, yet the best… 9 months that forever changed me with encounters, accidents, supernatural saving, supernatural healing and supernatural deliverances… Who ELSE could this be? it IS the Spirit of the Living God upon me — US…
So — what is the point of hiding our pain? What is the point anymore? This world doesn’t know love, this world doesn’t know compassion, this world is completely stone cold hearted… Every single thing in this world revolves around money. Nobody cares if somebody is so heartbroken they can hardly function… Got the shit beat out of you last night? Don’t care, get to work. Bills got to be paid and work needs to be done. It’s EMPTY. So empty. Work for WHAT?… These bills, these things that I don’t want?…
When I realized this, when I realized that I could not get even some of the closest people to me to understand or hear that I was just absolutely heartbroken so much so I could not function… I didn’t need a doctor. I needed healing… I needed to get AWAY from the American hustle culture of “shove your feelings down, shove your reality down and GET TO WORK!” It is a soul sucking way to live…
So I remember, I finally asked myself. Did God REALLY call me to live this way? Sucked dry of… myself. Love. Him… What I want. Who I am. And not selfishly, I’m talking a SOULFUL longing, a soulful pain. One, you can not ignore… Like, what the actual heck am I even doing?
I remember, just asking God over and over again to please heal me. I remember feeling the actual physical pain of feeling like you were going to die from a broken heart. Of being so disappointed in myself and everybody around me because WE, all of us, but definitely myself, had forsaken the ONLY thing that we had to live for… Jesus Christ of Nazareth, God in the flesh, the Messiah.
It makes me so mad that the church has SO misrepresented our merciful, loving, FORGIVING, faithful God… A large majority of these people fail to realize that they are the wicked they yell at across the pulpit, across the phone, app whatever… You are the wicked that you point the finger at. Don’t believe me? I say this because, I was, too.
And, it’s not even just those in churches. It’s those with hurt. With pain. With trauma. With triggers. A lot of it is in the narcissistic and empathic relationship cycle. There is a psychological factor there where… They both believe they are right. But guess what. You’re both 100% operating out of your emotions. You’re mirroring each other’s demons, literally. The stone cold, “hard” masculine; and the stone cold, “hard” feminine. Both just a brokenhearted boy and girl at the end of the day, with stone cold hearts at the core…
When I realized that this is truly just the ultimate test of the heart… I let go of ALL personal expectation from personal experiences. I realized I HAD to if I wanted to escape this (what felt like, and WAS) demonic loop I was stuck in, for 30 years. I started experiencing physical encounters with the Most High God. I never physically saw him. Visually twice… But man have I felt Him, have I smelled Him. Have I heard Him.
What does He look like? A King. THE King. Coming to WAR, for His… His CREATION. Not only people… Every living being He created. He has eyes of blue fire. His mouth was wide open—as would be during a battle cry, a war cry… He had His wrath with Him — but it didn’t consume Him. Controlled wrath towards the wicked. The WICKED is not just people… It’s rarely people in regards to discussion amongst what happens publicly, what’s accepted publicly. Pre-warning, people don’t like to agree on this but, it’s the truth.
What does He sound like? Still, quiet peace. He softly convicts you — He does NOT make you feel guilty or shame for your shortcomings. And that IS how you combat the enemy’s schemes in your mind. By REPLACING those lies with God’s TRUTH! The Bible is a spiritual book — stop reading it with your worldly understanding and ASK the Lord in Jesus’ name to allow you wisdom, understanding, revelation, HIS ministering spirits, His Spirit of Truth, His sight, mind, breath, words, Spirit, fruit—all of it. All the time. And He will give it to you…
What does He smell like? Frankincense, myrrh… Earthy, manly, but soft, sweet… Strong, protective, but nurturing.
What does He feel like? Love. Pure love. Love without judgment, without expectation, without judgment, without pride, without selfishness, without accusation… He doesn’t feel shame when looking at you at your worst. He SEES you, a broken, wilted, tired, shattered, invalidated and empty vessel that’s, simply not alive. And because HE LIVED to experience what it IS to be in the flesh, He knows… He IS unconditional, pure love. He’s not scared or ashamed or your darkness, He MEETS you in it… with His Living, flowing, cleansing water.
Example: No one likes (understandably) pedophiles. Murderers. And I’m not asking you to; neither does God. But, what DO we owe them? Love. Truth. And the truth is: The Lord God of hosts sent Jesus to atone for their sin, too. Are they human? Do they have guilt and shame for their actions? Then… They can be redeemed. Notice how the Lord says, IF they are sorry you forgive not 7 but 77 times… If they are REMORSEFUL, they can be redeemed. Don’t believe me? Well, the word of God does not minimize evil and wickedness, and God’s MERCY is greater than ALL sin when one comes to repentance in Christ Jesus. And REPENTANCE is a GIFT from God…
We are to HATE THE SIN, not the people.
“Say to them, ‘As I live!’ declares the Lord God, ‘I take no pleasure at all in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then should you die, house of Israel?’” — Ezekiel 33:11
“Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked,” declares the Lord God, “rather than that he would turn from his ways and live?” — Ezekiel 18:23

“Come now, and let us debate your case,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are as scarlet, They shall become as white as snow…” — Isaiah 1:18
“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?… neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor those habitually drunk, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

“Even though I was previously a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent aggressor, yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief… Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost.” — 1 Timothy 1:13–15 (Paul murdered Christians before being redeemed)

“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Stop doing evil, learn to do good… Come now, and let us debate your case,” Says the Lord… — Isaiah 1:16–18
He Would Have Saved Sodom if Just a Few Had Repented
“If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the entire place on their account.” — Genesis 18:26 (And He agreed all the way down to ten)
God’s Will Is Redemption for All—Not Destruction
“The Lord is not slow about His promise… but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance.” — 2 Peter 3:9
“This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.” — 1 Timothy 2:3–4
Father forgive us in Jesus’ name for cherry picking Your Word and FORSAKING the depths of love You truly set for us…
So, where did all this come from you ask? Why am I thinking about all of this? Well… God will point you to things when He’s teaching you, and, He showed me this:
“Open it. Take any emotion, experience, anything, all things, and if you open it woth dialogue with the Lord, He reveals everything in there.” — Megan Fate
I was watching this video 10:30PM 6/15/2025, ( https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKzO5E3SZ5y/?igsh=MXFwd3E3OWxjYWFkMg== ) and this woman — Megan Fate — was talking about how whatever “it is” coming out of your heart, whether it is guilt, shame, disgust… You can’t run from it forever. You cannot run from it forever… So why not just open it? Why not just stop running from it. Stop… Slow down, take a breath and look at it.
Just look at it.
What is it. What does it want? Does it want healing? Does it want something? is it hurt? Is it mad, violent? WHAT does it say? And then — you give it to God. You bring Him in (before, honestly) and you tell God over and over again that that is not yours. You reject it in Jesus name, you no longer want it. You come out of agreement with it, knowing OR unknowingly in Jesus name; and you ask the Lord to replace that and seal it with His Holy Spirit.
When you do this… The Lord WILL free you. This is not necessarily a quick process. Healing and deliverance with the Lord is a lot like an onion; comes in layers. It takes dedication, brutal honesty with yourself, others and God—and most importantly… Blind faith. You need to be willing to do things that do not always make sense to you, and stand for things that are possibly going to cost you your friends and, even family… Christ said so first… Don’t shoot the messenger.
Why does it not transpire quickly? Why is patience required? Because… #1, are you going to question God’s timing? Because, I’m not—LOL. But, this is truly a rewiring of worldly programming of a lifetime… It was for me at least. When I woke up at 30 years old and realized, 2 out of the 4 people that were the roots of my life, the baby and the glue of my family, had both died… The reality that, I wouldn’t always have these people that were my identity, my family, hit me like a freight train. Everything I’d ever known, my life… Was a complete 180 difference… I had no clue what I wanted or who I even was… That is a very terrible, scary feeling to have about yourself.
What did I know? Well… That I was alive, and that… If I was still alive, it was for a reason. I knew that, I was a child of God even if I had painfully forsaken Him. So, I started there. I started in my grief, my heartbreak, my sorrow, my pain, my lack, my brokenness. And man, the Lord showed me that I felt so bad because, I actually had 30 years of brokenness that I was holding. Guarding. Protecting. Carrying around in big heavy bags, filled with good and bad wounds/memories, like old plastic little league trophies…
Did I need all this??? For what? What is the purpose of holding this in? Shame. That nasty little virus of secrets. Shame.
Tip: If you feel shame, guilt—address it. Immediately. Don’t let it fester, don’t hide it, don’t run from it, and do not bury it or shove it down… Just please, take it from me. Don’t. Get it out of you, with the Lord, immediately… Or, as soon as possible.
I asked the Lord to reveal, to open all of my shame. My guilt. My lack. Open it. Why is it there? Who planted it, the seed? Was it a seed sown in doubt, by the enemy? Was it a seed sown in faith, of God? I didn’t know—what I did know is I had an ugly garden that I didn’t like and couldn’t even tolerate anymore. It was an abomination when I compared it to how God called me, us…
But, He actually forgave me and HONORED me for acknowledging it all before Him… He rewarded me with His love, presence and healing.
When you do this, you are able to let go of all programming the world has put in your mind. We put God in a box mentally, as in His capabilities… Why? Because wem’ve been told what the limitations of life are. Except, guess what? IT’S ALL A LIE. To keep you dumb, sick, and sedentary. Consuming information, food, products, and entertainment. It’s all by design to keep you spinning your wheels, eventually leading to burn out, and then they bank on you giving up, losing everything and/or just removing yourself from the earth… How sad, and how boring to put the supernatural, Lord God of hosts and His capabilities in a box of limitations. Nurp. Not my God! And how wrong, honestly. The answer has been in front of us all along, too. Right in the Bible… We have just been too blind, distracted, bewitched to see.
Dumb, deaf, mute and blind.
No… I’m serious. I see different colors now. Everything is brighter. More vibrant. I feel alive, I FEEL… That’s something that’s new. Feeling emotions in real time, processing in real time. I hear what’s REALLY said. I see if someone is demonically oppressed, I can see it in their eyes. I see beyond the grid, the veil of the enemy… But sometimes — me, too—my flesh feels dead. And I get upset because I have human feelings, I get frustrated I’m not perfect, like God. But, that’s the thing: we are not going to be perfect, the Lord never asked us to be. Because, we aren’t escaping the veil. The veil IS the flesh… We will never walk in perfection, we are told this… Which is why we were never called to perfection. We were called to carry our crosses, as Christ did. We were called to love on those in need, help others in their trials, be selfless, love the homeless, addicts, broken hearted ones of the world. And your cross IS laying down what the world wants you to, or what your flesh wants and tells you, “you MUST hold this!” When, Christ says, lay it down and sit at MY feet until I make your enemies (which are HIS enemies also, not just your coworker Nancy you have beef with… check your heart) your footstool. This is where He stewards you as a Shepherd.
Don’t forsake this… It is so precious.
However, as of late something is starting to change. Hallelujah… After 9 months of straight wilderness, the Lord is giving me hope. The Lord is giving me hope because I have vowed my life to Him over and over again while in the midst of warfare, literal demonic, bloody, filthy, ruthless and vile warfare, every time I laid down and said, “Lord, less me, more You. father YOUR WILL BE DONE. Not mine.” I vowed my life to stewarding His creation, His people, His animals, His life… Without Him, His creations — life would be meaningless to me—I stopped living for me long ago… That’s not enough. My will sucks, lol. It has hurt me, led me to dangerous places, addictions, fights, hurt people I love, and held on to poison. MY will was, upside down. Almost just like James 3:15 says:
“This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.”
So, lets break this down:
• “Earthly” — tied to the fallen world
• “Natural” (Greek: psychikē, meaning soulish or carnal—led by natural instincts, not the Spirit)
• “Demonic” — literally of the devil, energized by darkness
This verse is exposing a kind of wisdom that may appear insightful or rational to man but is:
• Rooted in self
• Driven by pride, envy, and bitter ambition (see v. 14)
• Not from God—ultimately demonic in origin
So—The Lord is here for everybody. No matter nationality, previous actions, creed, oaths, covenants, ritualistic sin, shame, guilt, addiction, defilement, etc. It. Does. Not. Matter hoe you fell. I don’t care what the preacher said… The Word of God says otherwise. It costs you nothing; no one can give it to you, or take it away from you, but you or God. It costs you nothing except dying to your will, wishes, wants, ways, and patterns. He is good, He is worth it; He is everywhere around you all at once. He is everything that is good, faithful and true—the opposite of the world; not like those, sad gray empty modern walls.
There is so much color in the world I’ve never experienced until April 28, 2035, when the matrix completely shattered for me. The Lord BROKE the mark and bondage of darkness, chains, abuse, curses and hexes, the assignment of the kingdom of darkness over my life. Oh yeah—there was a whole assignment. He anointed and healed my eyes, ears, nose, heart, mind, spirit, soul, bones, blood, cells, everything… Even my hair! There’s so much life in the world, when you choose life. His life.
So after this process, I woke up one day and I realized that… We would have no idea what to do if we lost our grocery stores. We would have no freaking clue… We’d have no food. No control over our food… That’s a very frightening and sobering feeling.
We would have no clue what to do if we lost our doctors offices. Our supplements. Our gyms. Electricity. We would lose our minds. We would die. Literally. From stupidity. “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” God did not design us this way… Something changed, something happened. I know we’ve been lied to but, we should know how to survive off of the land. God gives us everything we need from the earth. HOW did we forget this? How did we allow this? This is ROBBERY, DESTRUCTIVE, and… It will kill us… Almost like, steal, kill and destroy.
So why do we live this way? We don’t even like it. We don’t want it. It hurts us. So, why do we keep doing things that hurt? And more importantly, why can’t we stop?
That’s when I started to realize… There’s something much more profound to this. Because everybody is feeling this, but nobody’s connecting the dots fully… Some stay stuck in “fixing” the world via politics, war, technology, medicine, etc. Except the problem the “America first” people or the “medical freedom” people are missing (I used to be one, so yes—I can speak from this spot) is… The Lord said that the world will die. It will pass away, and that man would never again worship the work of his hands… Convicting. Eh? Yeah… I panicked. “Then Lord! What do we do!? What do I do!? We have to have money. I won’t be able to eat! My family won’t understand! I will lose everything!” I said in a spiral. He stops me, gently reminds me… “Taylor, beloved; I Am doing a new thing.”
Regeneration. The Ancient of Days. The ministry of reconciliation. Don’t know about these? Oh, I know. By design of the—you guessed it. Modern church set by the RCs. The counterfeit church of the world. Am I saying all? No. Please—don’t twist my words. But, it’s all in the bible. The regeneration that the Lord talks about… See 2 Corinthians 5 and Galatians. Telling. I believe the ONE area the Lord did protect me from was the propaganda brainwashing, bubble gum, prosperity gospel the world teaches based on condemnation, shame, and mostly… Fear. It truly infuriates me… It. Is. Wrong. Blasphemy.
This is keeping people bound in chains. I found out, some church leaders literally tell people they must have someone outside of GOD to interpret the scriptures… Or that, if they read Revelation, they will go crazy… That is literally of the devil… Being and keeping people stuck in the confines of worldly understanding and interpretation—instead of Godly understanding, wisdom, and interpretation… I believe, I truly believe this: that Revelation has been taught by people with demonic oppression who don’t truly understand the Bible, it is scary to them… The end of time. Say that out-loud to yourself. The. End. Of. Time.
Time. Ending.
Is time a curse of sin and death? See bottom for in depth reference.
Why has nobody ever discussed Paul’s revelation from Jesus Christ? The new ministry and reconciliation? And reconciling your heart before the Lord God of hosts… Which brings you to repentance. It is not repent or burn. Christ never ever ever said that. You hypocrites.
Who are you to condemn somebody? Christ comes to redeem the ones society causes unredeemable. I don’t care if it’s the worst of the worst… Everybody has a chance at redemption.
It is a regeneration all the way back to Adam and Eve. Don’t know what that means? Seek Him… Only those who see they’re lost, know that they need to be found…
If you stayed—I pray In JESUS’ Mighty name that you receive Him fully, without worldly interpretation and that He completely shields and protects you from the enemies schemed, snares and traps. Especially of new age agendas that are of the devil himself… The Lord will open your eyes, ears, heart, voice, mind—your all to His Truth, that grants us newness in Him through the sprinkling of His blood because, He died for you, too…
