Jesus is coming soon.

Introduction:
Hello, My name is Mark Bevan, founder of First Light Ministries and Fields of Zion International.
Since the day I gave my life to Jesus in November 2008, The Lord has been speaking to me of the days to come. Both warnings and encouragement. Preparations for a season of great difficulty… Tribulation. For many years, I have struggled in how to understand and fulfill the calling which God has bestowed upon me. In my own strength, I have failed time and again. But this is not about me and never was.
It is all about what God is doing in these days. His mercy and grace, to bring as many souls into His kingdom as possible. Preparing the harvest, before that final day, the great and terrible day of The Lord.
As it is written, so shall it be. Make no mistake, it is coming quickly. We all, believer and unbelievers, have a choice to make. To run in fear and denial, or to turn to faith and truth. For me, having tasted of the heavenly gift which the apostle Paul speaks of, there is no turning back. I have tasted of the goodness of the Lord and of those things which His Kingdom offers, and there is nothing in this world which compares.
I have come to realize that the greatest witness we have as believers is our Faith in God. Others see it and are amazed. It is the Word of God in action, when we as believers exercise faith in that which can not be seen. All the words that I could speak in a lifetime; the testimonies I could give of what God has done, will never speak louder than my Faith in action. That is because true faith, rooted and grounded in the God, who is both Light and Love, can not be hidden nor disputed. It shines like a beacon, a lighthouse, set high upon a hill. Pointing the way to safety for weary travelers.
It is written that: “it is impossible to please God without faith”, and also that “whatever is not of faith is sin.” I am about to step out into the greatest adventure of my lifetime, and I am hoping you will join me. It is a journey of great faith, not just of faith in God, but the faith of God. Together we will watch as God fulfills His plans in this season, not by the works of our hands but His, through our faith.
What follows is not my testimony of the many things God has revealed to me, but instead something very different. Something very much lacking in the body of Christ. The demonstration of Faith in action. Calling the things that be not as though they are! Acting on that which has been spoken.
Faith begins by hearing the word of God. Hearing the word of God comes through both a diligent study of scripture, and also the very act of applying that scripture, by listening and obeying not only the written word, but the spoken word heard in the depths of the soul as the Holy Spirit speaks to our hearts.
You and I may disagree on theology, but that should not be a stumbling block in building the body of Christ. For I desire to know nothing in you but Christ and Him crucified. It is my hope to establish you in faith, not by my crafty words of theology, but through a demonstration of my faith in God. That demonstration will be through prayer, declaration and action, as I walk out the path which The Lord places before me. If you will come with me on this journey, you will see firsthand, the power of God through my (and our, if you choose) faith. You will see answered prayers first hand, and your faith in God will increase exponentially. How do I know this for sure? Because that is how The Lord taught me, by walking out my faith in Him! I know that he will continue to teach Me, and you, because He desires faith grow in you, like a strong tree planted by still waters.
Walking out that faith requires great courage and strength. It also requires rest. Learning to rest in God, trusting in His promises, is perhaps the most needed thing in this season.
So come with me, on the journey and adventure of a lifetime! Let us pray and see what God will do!
