Positioned for Purpose Conversations with Colette Marie
God is Coming Again
Have you ever caught yourself saying something you believe, but not with the urgency it deserves? That's exactly what happened to me this birthday morning when I received a powerful spiritual wake-up call that left me shaken and convicted.
Through a dream featuring the simple yet profound refrain "God is coming again," the Holy Spirit revealed something uncomfortable: while I've been acknowledging the signs of Christ's return, I haven't truly been living with genuine belief in its urgency. This revelation hit me like a ton of bricks, leading to immediate repentance and a renewed mission to share this message with everyone who will listen.
The timing of this message feels divinely orchestrated. For years, I've encouraged listeners to use their God-given gifts through this podcast, reminding you that God can use anyone regardless of their past. But today's revelation adds a crucial dimension - the gift-giver is returning, and possibly sooner than we've allowed ourselves to believe. I share a powerful vision I received years ago, where I experienced what felt like my spirit ascending to heaven while my body remained behind. This encounter with God's presence left me with an overwhelming concern for unsaved loved ones and a mission that continues today.
Whether you're a devoted believer, someone who has walked away from faith, or someone who hasn't yet decided to follow Christ, this message is for you. Scripture tells us no one knows the day or hour of Christ's return, but we're called to live prepared. Today is the only day we have - so where will He find you when He comes? I invite you to take this message to heart and consider what it means for your life, your priorities, and your eternal destiny. Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it, and let's encourage each other to live with genuine expectation of His return.

Welcome back to another episode of Positioned for Purpose Conversations with Colette Marie. Hi, if you've been listening to me for a while, I am truly appreciative of your time just listening to these messages and to share them. Today I'm celebrating my birthday, august 8th 2025. My birthday August 8th 2025. So you may be listening to this after the fact, but I have a message I want to share with you this day. Whenever you're hearing it, it's the day that God has ordained for you to hear it.
Speaker 1:Last night, I had what I would call a dream. Last night, I had what I would call a dream, and in this dream, I heard this song. As a matter of fact, as in waking up this morning, actually, the line of the song came to me. I can't remember anything else from it. I heard the tune and the beat and all I heard is God is coming again. God is coming again. God is coming again. God is coming again.
Speaker 1:My sisters, my friends, the emotion that that evoked in me this morning is that I can't explain it to you Immediately. As I heard it, I felt convicted in my spirit. I felt convicted in my spirit. You know what the Lord revealed to me. You know what the Lord revealed to me. Sometimes it's easy when the Lord shows some things and maybe it's not you but me. Sometimes I'm saying Lord, no. But this morning I couldn't, because even before he revealed it I started feeling convicted. He said to me you are saying that I am coming again, but you don't believe in the soonness of my return. So you are saying that, yes, I see the signs of the times and you're telling people I see the signs of the times, but you don't believe in the urgency that I am coming again, my friends, urgency that I am coming again, my friends. That hit me like a ton of bricks. I can tell you that. And I started repenting before the Lord and I said, lord, forgive me, because you are right, Because he reminded me, he brought back a picture of me last week saying that to someone, agreeing with him that, yes, the Lord is coming, is coming again, and yes, there are signs of the times, we can see that he is coming. But I did not believe that it was as urgent as I was saying. And even now I just listen. I did not believe it. And the Lord said to me yes, you did not believe it, but it's not only for you to repent. You must tell others. You must tell others that I am coming again and I'm coming again soon.
Speaker 1:I heard in my spirit, because you know this podcast is titled Positioned for Purpose Conversations with Clemory. So Positioned for Purpose is really talking about where we have been, the situations where we have been, and wondering if God can use us. I'm empowering and encouraging you and reminding you that God can use you and the gifts that he has given to you. It doesn't matter your past, it doesn't matter where you have been, it doesn't matter what you have done, as long as you've given your heart to Almighty God he is going to use. And Romans 8, 28, I know different persons have said it doesn't even relate, but it says, for we know that all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose. So, my friends, I'm encouraging you of that every week and you know what the Holy Spirit says. It's not only about using your gifts, but tell them that the gift giver is coming again. The gift giver, christ, the Savior, christ, the Lord Jesus, god is coming again. He's coming back again. So, even as I'm imploring you to use your gifts because others are waiting on you, as I'm imploring you to use your gifts, because others are waiting on you Going forward. I will be reminding you that God is coming again. So, yes, use your gifts, but remember the one who gave you the gifts. He's coming back again. He's coming back again. So, using the gifts, we must believe that he is. We must believe the urgency of the message that he is coming back again, the signs of the time, and I can say to you today, with so much conviction that I said it yesterday, but with so much conviction today, that he is coming back again. Where will he find you? Where will he find you? Where will he find you? Where will he find me? Where will he find us? Will he find us?
Speaker 1:In a place of unbelief, saying the thing, but don't really believe that it is so, don't really believe that he is coming as soon as we say he is. There are persons who have been saying I've been hearing that God has been coming from so long and he is still not yet here. And we're giving up hope because now we're hearing it even more so than ever before and the signs are so evident. Yet you may be like me saying the same thing, no-transcript, but you know what I did. I'm thankful that God loved me so much that he could tell me you don't believe. You believe that I'm coming, but you don't believe the urgency, and not only does he love me, he loves you. That he's saying tell them, tell others, tell your family, tell your friends, tell your community. And you are my community, you are my friends, you are my family. If you are in the family of Christ, you are, and if you don't yet know him, it's an opportunity for you to know him that is coming again.
Speaker 1:I want to share the story of a vision I got over a decade and a half ago. I was sleeping one night and I was back in Jamaica, and I remember it was a Saturday night because the Sunday I would have been ministering at the evening service at my church. So I don't forget. I don't remember the exact day, but I know the night it was and I recall, just lying in my bed I was asleep. But I recall at this point that I realized that my body was going through the roof and at the time it was cement or what we call a slab roof, and I was saying to myself who could I be going through the roof? And then I realized that my body was left on the ground, on the bed, but my spirit was ascending and I was conscious. Spirit was ascending and I was conscious. I was conscious at that point that I was dead.
Speaker 1:And because I realized I was going up, can I tell you I know persons have said that they saw the face of God. I didn't see his face, but I can tell you I felt his presence. I knew I was in the presence of Almighty God and I saw the sun in its glory. All I can tell you is that I cannot even describe what I saw, but I can tell you that, even though I am seeing it, but words aren't enough to even try. All I can tell you is that though I am seeing it, but words aren't enough to even try. All I can tell you is that the natural sun that we're seeing, the pictures and the imagery that we are seeing, is nothing compared to that. And so what came back to my mind is a song that says only a part I can remember. It says bright, shining as the sun.
Speaker 1:And can I tell you when I sensed the presence of Almighty God and when I sensed that I actually was no longer, I want to say no longer alive, or wasn't where I should be. I said to the Lord Lord, I'm dead, but my family don't yet know you as Lord and Savior and the Savior. And immediately, as I said that, my spirit came back into my body. I was now conscious of all the sounds around me. I was conscious of the fun. I was conscious of the chickens that were making sounds on the outside. I was conscious that I was back on the earth. I could not wait for morning to come so that I could call my mom, who was living overseas, to say tell my brothers and sisters to get ready to be saved, because the Lord is coming again. And the Lord said to me today, this morning and this was after three minutes to four this morning, 3.50 thereabouts tell them about the vision.
Speaker 1:So, whether you believe or not that we can have an out-of-body experience or a feeling as if you've passed on this life to the next and has returned, returned at this point in time, honestly, I would not concern myself with that. Take it up with almighty god. But he says share it and I don't know what he will do with it in your heart. But I pray that he will move on you, because he says to me, clint, it's not just for me and believers, and for family members and friends and community, but it is for backsliders, those who have walked away from me, it's for sinners, those who have not yet come to me, and it for those who, with their lips, say that God is coming back again and, yes, we see the signs of the times, yet we don't truly believe that his coming is as near as we think. I want to tell you this morning, today is August 8th, 2025. It is my 55th birthday. This is the message that God is giving me, for me, for you, for my entire household, for my friends, my community, of which you are a part of. Can I tell you? I said Lord, don't let me say anything more or less than what you have said.
Speaker 1:The scripture tells us that he's coming like a thief in the night. We must be pure, because we know not the day or the hour when the son of man will put in his return. Can I tell you, it doesn't matter if God is coming tomorrow, it doesn't matter if next week, next month, next year, the next two years from now. The fact is that His Word tells us In Matthew 25, 13,. It says. So you too must keep watch, for you do not know the day or the hour of my return. Matthew 24, 36 says However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen. No one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows. Can I tell you, can I tell you today? I want to pray over you today and remind you Amen.
Speaker 1:The Lord is reminding us that the thief comes. You can't prepare for the thief, but you can prepare for Almighty God. He's telling us to prepare, because His appearance will be at a time when we do not expect it, at a time when we do not expect it, at a time when we do not expect it. And God is giving us an opportunity. He's giving us an opportunity to make it right with him. He's giving us another chance to make it right with him. Heavenly Father, do with me and more. Do with us and more.
Speaker 1:Almighty God, thank you for your love for us this morning, that you will give us a message, a reminder that the King is coming again, and so I pray, almighty God, that you will forgive us. Forgive us of unbelief, lord and religiosity. Lord, I pray In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, we who are of the household of faith. Almighty God, cause us to believe what we are saying, if we're saying that you're coming again, cause us to believe that you are. Cause us to trust you this morning.
Speaker 1:For those who have walked away from you, lord God, because of past hurt, almighty God, because of past hurt, almighty God, bring them back to the fold this morning. Touch their hearts, almighty God. I pray with your love and call them, draw them to you, because to be absent from the body is to be present with Almighty God. There is no repentance in the grave For those who do not yet know you as Lord and thinking they have tomorrow. Remind us, almighty God, that tomorrow does not belong to us.
Speaker 1:Lord God, today, only today. And he says today, when we hear your voice, harm not your hearts. So, as you're speaking to our hearts this morning, believer, unbeliever, backslider into our hearts this morning, believer, unbeliever, backslider, almighty God, cause us to know that today is the only day that we have. Almighty God, father, I love you, I praise you, I honor you and I exalt your great name. I pray for every heart that will hear this word today. I pray that you will move upon our hearts this morning, spirit of the living God.
Speaker 1:I pray, almighty God, for those hearts will be hardened, god, to say, oh, it's not another one-night-a-day wonder. I don't believe her. I pray that you'll work on their hearts today, almighty God, because there's one thing that I am assured of the enemy would not give me this message. I know, without a doubt I would not have been thinking of this message, so I know it comes by you. I have your backing, almighty God. Your word tells us you're coming again. Your scripture tells us you're coming again. God is coming again. God is coming again. God is coming again. God is coming again. Hear this word. The Lord bless you, my brothers and sisters.
