In the movie “Hoosiers” a school basketball coach (Gene Hackman) teaches his raw and undisciplined basketball team the true meaning of the word “Team”.

How? By breaking them down... right to the foundations...only to build them back up - all the Way from the bottom. It was a hard lesson to learn - a lesson in patience and humility - if you will, a pressure test on an individual’s heart. Some games in the season were lost - and badly, as each individual in the team learned to look not only to their own ability, but to the ability of the man next to him. The movie climaxes as predicted, with a great victory for the team- but it was a victory that came through pressure and humbling...and one that could never have come, had the boys not learned to see themselves as one unit...

And this is exactly what God is teaching us His Church in this season.

Jesus will not come back to a one- man show; He will not return to an elitist club, nor the “select few”: He will return for an Ekklesia - a gathering, separated from the world, that is functioning as One - in Him and each other...One Body under One Head: A Team...An Army... A Family. 

Read Hebrews 12:1-3

The Beautiful Remnant of America Part 1

15  “Can a woman forget her nursing child,      that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget,      yet I will not forget you. 16  Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;      your walls are continually before me. Isaiah 49:15-16 This most recent prophecy is part of my “Fast for Family”, and again runs parallel with my previous visions - some of which can be read in the footnotes at the end. The Beautiful Remnant of the United States of America  i The unity of baptism : I saw many in America: Many families. They stood as if on the banks of the Red Sea, as Israel under Moses…driven there by the Holy Spirit, perused by the kingdom of the anti-Christ. They had been driven there for Baptism: I saw many families. They went down separately…and when they came up they were one: in the Lord and in each other. I realized that this type of unity…the desire and prayer of Jesus…can only ...

Volume III The Beautiful Remnant of America - Part 2

The Beautiful Remnant of America Part II  So they shall fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come like a rushing stream, which the wind of the Lord drives. Isaiah 59:19 Before continuing, please ensure that you have first read Chapter 1 ~ The Olive Press https://undergod714.blogspot.com/2024/03/john-1220-among-those-who-went-up-to.html i ~ The “Hidden” Remnant   “What is a tree without its roots? Roots expand underground in the darkness - the hidden place, that the tree may stand firmly grounded through the storm. This expansion does not come without faith, time, patience and endurance, and goes entirely un-noticed and un-acclaimed,  because it takes place underground . And yet we know that this expansion is essential to the life and health of the tree.  So it is for the Church in this hour… “What is a house without its foundations?  A house built quickly- on sand    - will not stand - but the ...

Volume III ~ The Olive Press

This is the final of three volumes. As with the first two, there is repetitions - the same events but from different viewpoints - and as before, I ask that the reader be patient. You will read again much of what you have already read in volumes 1 & 2 - but there is a twist: Now, there are other nations involved: Because what happens in America will have a direct (or indirect) impact on the nations of the world. I will also write in detail about a global unraveling, that although beginning in America, will affect  the nations of the world. Volume I describes this unraveling, in many different ways. I recommend, before you read one more word of this booklet, to read the first 2 Volumes. Because their purpose is to prepare the Remnant of America for this unraveling.  None of the first pilgrims lived very long, upon entering the New World: But they were obedient to the Lord in the time He allotted them: The seed was sown into the soil of the infant nation. The harvest still re...
