Gustafson Report, and current Prayer Needs!
Gustafson Report - We trust this note finds you well and walking in the peace of God that only Jesus can bring.
We were up north staying at the my parents family cabin, and saw from the picture window that overlooks the lake a great storm coming in! The sky was turning dark and the wind was for a moment eerily still. Under the huge cloud was the formation of a large ring that looked like the beginnings of giant tornado. All we could do was hurriedly secure some loose things outside, shutter the windows and watch and pray. By the grace of God, things were not damaged to the cabin or our vehicle. We had strong winds, lightning, thunder, rain, and fallen trees. That afternoon was spent clearing the road to the cabin of fallen trees with a chain saw.
Please, hear me now!
I see another storm coming, I would to God this was not the case. I wish we could pray away, hope away, declare away, or decree away this one; but we cannot. There are certain things that ‘must be fulfilled’ and others that will take place at ‘an appointed time.’ Our prayers may only delay them.
We see there are 6 of the 7 seals opened in Revelation chapter 6.
Let me rehearse what they are -
Seal 1) the rise of the anti-Christ
Seal 2) peace is taken from the earth (does this seem to describe today’s world?)
Seal 3) famine and possible hyper inflation (could be coming sooner than we think)
Seal 4) death by war, famine, disease, etc.
Seal 5) martyrdom of the saints
Seal 6) a great shaking and darkness,etc
Where we are at with these things, you will have to make your own conclusions.
My point is this - It’s time to prepare, I don’t think we have much time.
Here are some notes regarding this -
1) Draw near to the Lord
2) Turn from sin and disobedience
3) Surrender all to Jesus
4) Obey the voice of Holy Spirit
5) Put your focus on eternity
6) Keep your eyes on Jesus
7) Arm yourself with Bible promises
8) Do what you know you must do practically and physically
9) Share the hope that lies within you to others
10) Keep in the love of God
In the midst of the storm, God will give you peace, lead you, provide for you, and will be with you.
Matthew 28:20 says, “Lo, I am with you, even to the end of the age.”
Isaiah 54:10 says, “For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace be removed. Says the Lord who has mercy on you.”
Thank you for your prayers, we are praying for you as well.
Bless you,
Brian and Sharon
PS - Philippines is still in lock down, we are working on ways to continue the Bible school there for individuals. In September we need to make a move, and are preparing travel out to Oregon to serve with the local church, and be with family and friends. We will also be ready to fly whenever the opportunity exists.
We see ourselves as though we have back packs right by the front door. The bags are full of all our basic necessities including passports and ready for travel. It’s as though we are just awaiting the word go.
We are just remaining in prayer concerning what is ahead.
We are heading into very interesting and prophetic days with God calling his people to get serious about Him. Praying for many that their eyes will be opened to salvation in Jesus and eternity.
