In light of all the world circumstances and situations, I’ve been praying a lot about the end of time – as we know it now.  The Bible talks a lot about the Second Coming of Jesus. (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21) Jesus answers the questions of His Disciples as to how to recognize the signs of that time; wars and rumors of wars, nations rise against nations, persecutions, pestilence, famine, etc.

I really find it interesting how God gives me messages and poems.  I woke up early last Thursday – about 3 am. I was thirsty and got a glass of water; sat down in my chair and began to read a little from the book I’m trying to finish. I hadn’t read much when I thought, “I should pray”. As I began to pray about all the situations going on in the world, I thought, “goodness, I’m hungry”.  Now usually I would just get me a small snack to eat, but my next thought was that I should “fast that snack”. It seems that I was remembering a book on fasting by Kenneth E Hagin where (if I remember correctly) he said we should live a fasting life – meaning that we should fast something each day unto God. So, I decided to fast that snack; and continued to pray.  Moments later I was writing this poem:

The Ending and the End    By Mary Ruwe      2021-01-28

Time with Me is precious indeed
There will be fruit from each and every seed

Fast the natural food and snack
Spend time with ME in prayer and there’ll be no lack

So pray out your heart, pray out My Way
It will keep you close to Me and you will not sway

These end times will be rough, you will see
But in My Presence, safe you will be

So, come to My side, in my presence, and in prayer
And you will not falter or be caught in a snare

Come away, come away, from all the worldly noise around
Come into My presence where healing and strength abound

The end is rapidly coming; so close is the day
Watch. Watch. Be alert, and in prayer you must stay

Forgiveness is key for each to receive
Confess your faults, and be not deceived

My Bride is to be pure and white as snow
Only in Me will you keep your holy glow

I am coming. I am coming; have no doubt, do not fear
The brightness of My Glory and My Truth will soon appear.

I think this poem depicts the times we live in; boisterous with the noise of the enemy all around with the purpose to distract us from our focus on God. If we let down our guard, then confusion and despair will overtake our thoughts; and then the spirit of fear sets in. Remember, God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7) We must walk in forgiveness towards others and for ourselves (Ephesians 4:32)  In other words keep your heart full of the Word of God, keep you heart right before God, and keep your heart and mind prayerful in these last days.
