I don’t have much but what I do have cannot be taken away.  I’ve got the Love of a Father that will never dissolve, fade away or diminish and cannot be swept away by time or happenstance.  The Lord has provided me with opportunity after opportunity to tell people His Good News.  I know that there will be many people, whom I’ve never met, waiting for me in Heaven to tell me I had a part in their being saved.  I share priceless time with many Spirit-filled Christians through which I am often given the next piece to God’s unveiling mystery.  I see the smiling, giggling faces of children who are so close to God that they cannot help but overflow with mirth.  I am gaining worldly knowledge and experience, which cannot be taken from me often giving me the tools to better do the work which God has allocated to me.

I have daily bread, I have forgiveness of my sins and the ability to let the heavy water of resentment to quickly roll from my back.  I’ve got life in abundance, and although this one will pass away at some point, I have an eternity in a glorified body spent with my Loving Father and all of my family just beyond this plane.  I’ve got the opportunity to do some things to glorify His name on this Earth and childishly revel over the unfolding gift of His will in my life.

I’ve got irreplaceable relationships with people that have grown in breadth, depth, width and height, reflecting the four dimensions in which we now live.  I have the trans-formative power of the Blood of the Lamb cleansing me each day as the Holy Spirit guides me in preparation to meet Jesus in the clouds.  I’ve got the opportunity to live in a time when the world is pregnant with worry and desperately in need of Jesus, as His return draws nigh.  I have been selected to trumpet the Master’s return for His land and servants and see myself dressed in white welcoming Him as an expectant child waits for His Father’s return from travel.  I have love which cannot be overcome and surrounds me with power, authority and peace as I am sheltered under the wings of God.  Praise You Father in all Your Glory, Power and Majesty.  In Jesus’ name.

He loves you too much to fight you for the reins or the steering wheel of your life.  He will wait patiently, like the Loving Father that He is, knowing that at some point you will have had enough pain, failure or self-inflicted injury to force your surrender.  He knows you so well, even to the amount of pressure it will take you to fracture, bend or break your will under increasing or tremendous pressure.

I was a glutton for punishment and forced Him to wait upon my stubbornness for a time when I had no strength left, no other recourse, no other outlet but to cry out for His help.  In agony I lay there of my own volition and after a single application of His loving kindness I was transformed.  It will take this lifetime to rid me of my fleshly weakness, but it only took an instant to free me from the pain of bondage.  I recommend giving in before, like me, you have to be brought to your knees in forced abdication.  He will win it is just a matter of time and tensile strength, not yours but His.  And that my friends is infinite and eternal.  Praise King Jesus in this hour of the worlds greatest need.  Amen.

The sickle is being sharpened to cull the fields of grapes and grain.  What have I done to prep for, plant, water, fertilize, tend and protect the crops in preparation for the great harvest?  Will I be able to rest easy and not be forced to offer the Lord explanation for my inaction, lack of determination or disobedience?

Can I go to bed tonight holding tightly to the secure understanding of my readiness for the Lord’s return?  Do I know for certain that I will go in the rapture when it occurs?  Can I speak boldly about God’s glorious plan or do I harbor sin and UN-forgiveness inhibiting my witness and debilitating my dissemination of His message to this world?  If you doubt your salvation you are not sure?  If you are not certain of your readiness for rapture then you probably are not?  Must I be sure, do I need to see evidence of my salvation in order to be an effective disciple for the Kingdom?

Do we know for sure?  Can we know for sure?  Is there a process to becoming sure?  Is being sure even necessary to the Kingdom work set before me?  Is there some test I can subject my life to that will demonstrate my salvation?  Where does the surety come from regarding my readiness and salvation?  Are my words just over concentration on the importance of surety and readiness?  I am open to any all arguments for and against the consistency of this vein of God’s message.  If you don’t agree, let me know.  I believe that the proof is in the Word.

Be sure, be ready, love each other and keep your eyes skyward awaiting His inevitable and imminent return.  God bless you and may you be sheltered and lifted up by the mighty wings of God, in Jesus’ name.  Amen.

Free yourself from the muck and mire as the Lord lights the way to the surface.  Stand under the authority of Christ against all the wiles of the flesh and the enemy (The Lord rebuke him for his wickedness).  Make a note in your journal that this is the day where you accepted victory, not just thinking about a life that is full of righteousness, but turning your belief into faith.  Be transformed, capture your thoughts, accept the mind of Christ and expose the hidden areas of your life to the healing power and light of the Anointed One of God.  Show this world through action how much God loves them.  Assume victory because that is all that God can ever achieve.  He does not fail in any circumstance, situation or predicament.  Depend wholly and completely on the Lord for your sustenance, hope and peace and He will never let you down.  You belong to the God who balances the gravities and orbits of billions of twirling planets and stars yet knows how many hairs are upon each of our heads at every moment of our lives.  And He Loves You deeply.  Praise You Father, In Jesus’ name, Amen.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/07/us-texas-abortion-idUSTRE81605220120207?feedType=RSS&feedName=domesticNews  The blood of the innocent cries out to God for justice.

Observe any thing, or practice any discipline long enough and you would assume to achieve a level of understanding or mastery of that function.  What if you knew that through your own efforts, striving and performance, no matter how many hours you allocated to your profession or craft you could only obtain a level of fifty percent, potential proficiency or skill level?  Would it create in you a sadness in the knowledge that there would always be unrealized capacity for performance within your chosen craft?  Would you try to find ways around the reality of the logical function and statistics?  Would you try to buy your way into full adeptness?  Would you explain away the unrealized capacity through words of excuse and impossibility of performance?  Would you give up and stop trying to reach for that unrealized ability?

What if someone handed you a book that showed you how to fulfill max output, even promising performance beyond your personal individual possibilities?  How would you react if someone told you that in order to understand the unseen methods you would have to give up your original idea of personal performance and self-dependence?  Could you let go, knowing this to be your only way to ultimate comprehension or prowess?  Or would you remain in the confines and knowledge that no matter how hard you worked you could only arrive at X level of adroitness?  Could you ever truly be happy knowing all the time that you would never be all that you could become?  Could you conform to the limits that the world placed upon you although they remained inconsistent with that internal desire to reach for the heavens?

We have been given such a book.  We have the ability to request answer to the mysteries of God.  We possess the avenue and can walk freely down the narrow path to discernment and understanding above human justification.  It is there for the asking, available for the seeker, promised to the perspicacious.  Will we let go of our worldly knowledge, replacing it with the supernatural insight into the spaces between matter and energy?  I pray that you want not only the one hundred percent of your own capacity but that ability beyond your own potential output, the God capacity.  Reach for eternity, reach for the impossible and prepare to meet the Lord when you do.  In Jesus’ name I praise Your name Father.

http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/love-worth-finding/player/practicing-the-presence-of-god-247718.html  What is your calling?  Will you answer it?

All about me.  The clothes that I wear, the food that I eat the entertainment I crave.  Have I ever stopped for a moment and truly conceived of what grace goes into keeping me alive?  How valuable each breath, each thought, each moment I could have spent for God’s purposes.  I’m palsied, not by inaction, but by Wrong Action.  The things I crave, the things I must do for me are my impediments.  My self-spoiling behavior is what keeps me from the King.  Of all of the despicable actions that I have taken, being entirely consumed by what I want will always be the worst.  The absolute worst thing about all of it is when I get myself in trouble catering to my endless, self-service how I can justifiably call out the name of God for assistance.  I know that He will be there when I do, but man isn’t that the most grotesque way to use the Lord?  Will He ever be able to depend upon my words or my actions?  Or is He guaranteed in one thing, that I will always take the wrong action when the choice is between what I want and what He wants of me or for me?

Lord, I know that the answers to this issue are all painful.  Painful in seeing myself clearly each time that I cannot fill my endless desire to fulfill my wants.  Painful each time that I see the sin I have remaining internally that undermines my relationship with you and the things that I wish to accomplish in this life for Your Kingdom.  Painful when you discipline me, as You will, for going astray from You in my conceit and self worship.  Painful to those around me as I take from them to give to myself.  Painful in that seeing myself in truth is the only way to coming to You in contrition and begging You to remove this self-focused behavior.

I can barely look upon myself, seeing how selfish I remain although sometimes I feel that I have risen above.  Me and double me and then again me.  Teach me Father, it is obvious this is one I will not get by myself.  Left alone to my own direction and desires I am doomed to continuous, self-interest.  In panic I look around for Your face and all I behold is my own.  My thoughts, my lips and my hands are unclean.  Maybe some day I will be worthy of being in Your presence, but this is not that day.  Today, like many others I am saddened to say, I was not ready to meet the Lord in the air.  Praise Your Holy name, My God, My Savior, My Teacher, My Friend, My King.  I am reminded once again of the immeasurable gift of Your forgiveness for my sin and the price that You personally paid for my salvation.  I once again ask for mercy that I don’t deserve and grace that I should not possess and ask Your patience and understanding of my weakness.  Please grant me a day when I don’t think of myself but rather serve Your children, unselfishly, out of love for You.  In Jesus’ name.

http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/hottest-christian-book-in-the-land-gets-hotter/  Read this article, America’s greatest need is to have that 2Chronicles 7:14 moment and our leaders don’t even have the Biblical understanding to comprehend Isaiah’s warning.

I understand and respect those who continually ask me to turn down the volume or limit the passion in my preaching.  Please know this that I have prayed, meditated and considered your position and have never rejected it “right out” or ignored your arguments immediately.  Rather, I have carefully considered all your points and separated the salient from the trivial.  Then I took those realistic arguments to the Holy Spirit for testing as to spiritual origin and level of agreement with the Word and Truth.  Finally, I accept, respond to and actively adopt all direction I receive back from the Spirit of God.

It challenges many of you that the Lord’s Word or His prompting does not agree with your pleadings to revise the Word He has placed upon my heart.  I only serve one master and I love Him.  Therefore, although I respect the positions of many I care for I can only follow the guidance, orders or recommendations of my liege.  In fact, my flesh begs me to “get along” with everyone, to fit in and be harmonious with those in this world, but the Lord calls me to preach a message of repentance and His coming Kingdom which are wholly inconsistent with the world’s desires.  Secondly, the prompting He has given is getting more pronounced each day we come a bit closer to His return for His church and His wrath upon this disobedient world.  I wish that things were going to remain comfortable, peaceful and prosperous for every person on this planet, even those who call themselves my enemy.  However, the Lord’s Word clearly defines and accurately predicts with omniscient precision the events which will soon come upon all of us.  The urge to cry out and exalt His eternal message recently has begun waking me at night.  My heart knows that time is short.  The skeptic wants proof which I cannot provide for it is my faith that tells me these things are soon.

I love you and appreciate your discomfort.  None of us wants tribulation, even though most of us agree that the evidence demonstrates that the world is headed into it.  I pray that you take the words which I post to heart and test them against the Word and take them in prayer to the Holy Spirit.  Don’t believe me, believe Him.  Everything in my being tells me that this word is relevant, true and consistent with God’s message of salvation for those who believe in Christ and make themselves ready for His return.  Dismiss me if you find my pleas inconsistent.  Forget me if my word is found deceiving or false.  But if you believe and receive the message of truth then I urge you to ACT on behalf of God’s prompting in your life.  The time to perform will soon expire.  I pray that your pilot light is lit and soon turns to flame consuming you in service and lighting the way for those in your sphere that remain imprisoned in darkness.  Praise You Father,  in the name of Your Son Jesus.

http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/love-worth-finding/player/the-wings-of-faith-247751.html  Belief and Faith are different.  The late Pastor Adrian Rogers lays it out, clearly.

Ashamed, never!  Take a righteous stance for what you believe and do not waver.  The objective is not personal achievement, emotional stimulation or crossed finish lines, but the persistence of undaunted faith.  Trends wither just flowers on a spring vine to Summer’s relentless ardor.  Attentions fade leaving a deeper yearning for love, their true master.  Ambitions falter when tested with loss of face or feast.  Belief in something true, an idea worth last breath, last dime or last effort to behold, defend or maintain.  That is the life of just pursuit, the treasure worth seeking the hope worth heraldry.  Christians serve an idea so robust that it transcends, confounds or worse blinds those who challenge its awesome logic and clarity.

I stand for the Kingdom, the honor and the glory of the coming Christ our King.  When I say our King I mean of everyone.  Not for those who have accepted Him and live His will, but for all who will realize on that faithful day, that He has always been King of All.  I resist mockery, deception and the wisdom or foolishness of men wishing to separate the innocent from their heritage.  I stand a free man who has pledged his life voluntarily in slavery to righteousness for all to see, ignore or support.  Our Jesus, His yoke is not heavy, He places no mighty burden upon the backs of pauper subjects.  He leads us through tribulation, darkness and despair and delivers on His promises of forgiveness, grace and immeasurable love.  He is my King.  This is my stand, my fight, my commitment, to serve the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob for all the days of this life and the next.  Till Glory brings me home, Jesus is my Lord.  Praise You Father.  Amen.

The times are upon us.  We wish that things would stay in a relative quiescent state, however the folds in God’s plan are becoming increasingly pressed.  I have included articles, videos, Bible prophecy references and commentary directing those few who come to this site toward a logical, if not faith conclusion that we should expect a move of God’s hand shortly.  All the characters are in place, all the circumstances indicative and even the metaphysical folks claim that the stars and planets are in alignment.  Look at the next article, couple that with the current state of Syria, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Iran, Russia, Turkey, Lebanon, Yemen, Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia.  The evidence is too stark for ignorance.  Take heed my friends and pray.  Jesus is coming soon, Amen.
