Do you find yourself racing into the wind, defying the elements, questioning God?  Is God’s unfolding plan for humanity not sitting well with you?  Do you believe that there is a better way to save humanity from inevitable judgment and separation from God?  Or maybe you believe, like Jonah that there are some to which redemption should not be offered, for their sins are unforgivable.  Are you angry with the Lord and reluctant to tell Him?

Here is one of the grandest things that separates the One True God from all the charlatans, He wants to hear the deepest questions of your heart and help you to accept the unacceptable truth about this world and the next.  Are your fears mounting as we head into a time when the world is unraveling before us?  Take those fears to God and allow Him to encourage you and bid you be of “Good Courage” in the knowledge that He still sits upon His throne.  The things that are happening, must happen in order for things to become so difficult that even those “hard of heart” believers will be shaken from their tree, falling to the ground at the foot of the cross.  There is no avoiding what must soon come to pass, nor should we feel that we must resist these changes, for they are part of God’s eternal plan for mankind.  Pray for peace in Jerusalem, I pray for peace in your heart.

Yes, our rulers, leaders, representatives and families have gone seemingly haywire.  Wrong is right and bad is good in this alternative, ethical relativist global climate.  This is to be expected as it was predicted thousands of years ago in scripture setting up the circumstances where the Jewish people will cry out for the Messiah’s return.  There is no other way, so if you are looking for one, you may wish to reconsider aligning yourself with a plan that is not from God.  Pray for our leaders to have a return to wisdom, good judgment and dedication to God’s principles, just as the apostles prayed for Rome.  We must not hate, divide and determine each man’s qualifications for redemption based upon our own judgment for we are “not” God.  His ways are above my own, unknown to me, unfathomable as the depths of the universe are to common man.  We must have “faith” in God’s plan as the best possible thing that could happen for humanity.

Try letting go of your anger by taking it to God in prayer and meditation upon His word, in return you will receive a peace that surpasses the understanding of this world. That is why it is called “supernatural”, above nature, because it comes from outside our capacity and resolve.  Don’t allow this world to define or taint the definition and perfection of God’s plan.  Remember the enemy’s greatest gift is an ability to twist and re-manufacture truth in a palatable fashion acceptable to mankind’s desire.  Learn the truth, know the truth and utilize the truth to keep you and your family safe from false teaching, false hope and false gods.  In the name of Jesus I ask God the Father to heal your heart and stem your anger leading to hope, peace and preparedness for the coming of the Lord.

Nicolas Cage makes Rapture ‘bigger’ than ever

  Hollywood in conflict, more pressure continues to be placed upon fence sitting.  Are you ready for judgment day?

Can  I let go of the wrongs that have been done me and those things I see that offend God?  What is forgiveness that the Lord would offer it to the entirety of humanity?  Is there a prize so compelling in human behavior that we cherish more than this type of love, called forgiveness?  Do I look to the Lord to free, resolve, remove and relinquish those offenses in my own heart or must I continue to look over my neighbors fence for necessary changes?  Aren’t those things/standards to which I hold my fellow humans accountable not exactly the same things with which I continue to struggle or have been given freedom via the changes of Holy Spirit?  How can I hold grudge for errors of soul to which I myself may still or once found myself enslaved?  Father forgive them for they know what they do, but forgive me even more for I have judged them for their misgivings, lack of faith or sensibility.

This world is astray.  It is not one step off the path it is now several generations departed from fealty, service and relationship with God.  We are not the apostate church we are an apostate humanity determined to winnow, root out or deny God’s authority over every part of our lives in His infinite and compelling sovereignty.  The voices in the desert are silenced calling men to make straight their paths as the Kingdom of God has come.

Even our greatest pastors now have millions of dollars tied up in the trappings of blessed ministries, such that they truly are no longer free to speak the absolute truth of God having to be cautious of man’s legalities and feared losses.  I see these flaws in my own ministry as the blessings like rain pour down upon my life and I see growth where once was fallow ground.  This is not easy, but we must be “perpetually” ready to lose all for the Word of God.  If we do not prepare our hearts in this fashion then we are denying and disobeying the charge placed upon us by God, for it may very well cost us everything reach the last soul for Christ.  If you aren’t in it to win it, risking, surrendering and enduring everything for the furtherance of Grace then you may as well stay home.  Stacking up, piling, hoarding and counting the blessings of God without while one soul goes unreached, unhealed, unserved, unfed or minimized is disobedience to that blessing.

Churches that have huge tracts of land while people are starving for food, shelter and water, should be ashamed for missing the purpose of blessing and grace.  If there is but one orphaned child in your town, city or state without care and adoption into the fold of the Body of Christ while your church brandishes great coffers, investment accounts and real estate holdings, then you should sell that profit and provide for these forgotten children or be in direct disobedience to God’s Direction.  If you pray for God’s will to be done on Earth and He has given you the assets to start, foster or complete the realization of His Will and you are not using those assets to promote that Righteous Will then you are double minded, hypocritical and a liar before Christ.  Give as it has been given unto you.  I say these things to myself and ask God’s forgiveness and restoration of my heart to use those things I have been given for His Purpose.  All else is folly and service to self and the darkest fallen.

Guide us, free us, reveal Your Self to us oh Sovereign Lord of All.  In the Name of Jesus Christ the King of Everything.  Amen

Battle rages, is it unseen to your willing eyes?  Do you hear the whispers of wickedness continually attempting to lead you astray, only the next moment to be begging God forgiveness for your idolatry and sin?  Do you fear the Lord and work each day to enter the rest by obeying and keeping the Word of God?  Is your walk through the fields of sanctification one done in fear and trembling or is it the clumsy lumberings of a lop-sided elephant?  Do you ever contemplate putting on the Spirit Armor of God or do you go unaffected into the world expecting no interference, obstacles or attempted departure from the Will of God?  Open your eyes saints, the battle rages and your greatest weaponry against the wiles of the enemy is prayer.  Why do you think he tries so desperately to keep you from it?

On my knees I find the moments where God may choose to speak.  In my prayer closet, the world loses its grip upon the rooms of my thought, so that my house is God’s House eternal.  In my shame and humility, my heart is softened and prepared for the footsteps of God upon its willing walls.  I am spirit, though this body and soul may deny that fact.  It is my spirit that craves God’s likeness, love and reprimand.  When I go to God in prayer I know peace, not just a concept that I heard from a preacher, or something that false teachers sell upon the street corner, but real rest.  This world cannot know the Prince of Peace in all His Glory for there is no will to receive the truth and without it just remains beyond reach, outside the veiled promenade.

The enemy cringes at the coming King, knowing that his time is short and that his limited reign is falsehood.  he lies in wait for those willing to step onto the battlefield unprepared, ill tempered, naive to the common frailties that plague all humanity.  We as princes and priests cannot intervene for those who would be consumed if we are not first armored and educated to the things of God.  We must prepare our hearts in prayer before the throne of God, knowing with utmost confidence that “our Father” listens, hears and responds in kind to our limited display of faith.  For prayer is the tempering of our faith, the honing of our skills with the Two Edged Sword of the Word of God.  It is in prayer that we realize the truth of all God’s Promises to Man.  It is in prayer that we come to “Know” the Father instead of just know about Him.  Meet God in prayer or go ill prepared to the ramparts.

The lights dim, the curtain rises to a stage set with the pageantry of chaos, mixed messages and back-room bargained bribery.  Unbelievable the scene as it rolls out before an audience incredulous, stating, “no way we could have fallen for this fiasco”.  Buffoons display their strategic and political brilliance, shouting, “Look over there” as they pocket the people’s shiny coin returning empty hand to coffers in thievery.  A perfect picked lineup, choreographed by a manager with intimate knowledge of their willing wickedness, selecting just the right mannerism for each horrific role.  Bumbling boss, evil emperor, unengaged observer, all performing as if they truly possessed the malevolent characteristics of their casting.  The audience is lulled into silence realizing that they are seeing a frightening portrayal of current circumstance.  The terror rumbles through their quivering hearts as they begin to comprehend that this not simply a play but a cast made of true to life participants in the unfolding plan of Almighty God.

These rulers, leaders and pundits could not have been better selected for the dissolution of America.  Constitutional law professors, political professionals, land fiefs and wanna-be-imperials every possible character in the menagerie of greed enjoys full representation.  Common men cringe, fearing the fall of America accompanying a sense of powerlessness and apathetic indifference.  There is only peace found in the realization of prophecy, the knowledge and the comfort in the Will of God.  Those faces of comfort reserved for the saved and soon to be sanctified.  For the remainder, no rest, no surety, only self service and fear of impending disestablishment.

We pray for them oh God, as Your Word directs, these rulers You have thrust upon the throne in authority.  They are not fit, yet they are perfect for the circumstances given.  We dream of hope in Your return to bring sense to the nightmare.  Forgive us, mighty Lord for resisting their obeisance.  We have been given the reward for our actions, commensurate, proper, appropriate.  Let us understand and accept the bounty for our derision and disobedience.  Our folly came with a price that will soon be exacted by all.  Forgive us Father and lead us into the saving Grace of Your Quiet Mercy.  In Jesus Name, Come Soon.

It was not me that saved myself, nor me who cleansed the filth of sin from my soul, nor did I create a new creature unrecognizable from the man once standing in my place.  It has always been God who delivered me, chastened me, washed me, saved me and sustains me.  I may muster or bluster about some change that I’ve made or planned obstacle I intend to overcome through sense, wisdom or will, but it will invariably be Him alone who gets me through the storm.  I am capable of one thing and only one thing, “Choice”, and only that because He gave it to me as gift through grace.  I chose to believe in Jesus when He revealed Himself to me, I chose to surrender my life to His will, which is always better than my own, I chose to let Him transform me into something I could not myself become.  In the end it has always been my Hope in Him that made anything possible in this life or the next.

I see so many who have lost the sense of joy because they unfortunately control this world gone astray from God’s Will and Plan.  They fret and fuss about this government official or that people group straying from an individual concept of what is right, and true and just.  They are also the people who have been saved, having been redeemed to peace with God.  These people unfortunately still place their hope and trust in self and therefore have turned pessimistic, sour and apathetic because they cannot see the method in their own authority to correct the atrocities which surround us all.  We again must choose to lose sight of control and leave the outcomes to God.  Whether or not this world survives is not my problem, it is my concern and that concern I must dutifully and rightfully share with God through prayer.  See no Christian is helpless who has prayer with Almighty God.

I must chose as I go forward in this life to let God own the outcomes and I simply own the application or work.  Yet even in that work, if it is done to His Glory, He will empower me to accomplish anything of worth or foundation.  Anything done of my own authority, by my own power or through my own wisdom and energy has been done for my own glory, NOT HIS.  My hope, praise, foundation, resolve, energy, wealth, health, assets and triumph is in God Alone.  To God be the Glory for all that He has done and it about to do.  In the Great and Mighty Name of Jesus Christ the redeemer of mankind.

http://youtu.be/ZFWClRJOug8  This discussion makes it pretty clear that the Temple was not located on the Temple Mount but rather south of there in the City of David.  Will the Temple soon be rebuilt fulfilling yet another dynamic portion of scripture?

Are they fools to enter the burning house, battlefield or coming storm?  Is it for glory or for self, or is there truly some spirit inside men that calls some to risk injury or death to see their fellow men safe, free and absent harm? What shall we call those who give of themselves while others flee?  Heroes, perhaps it is more than that.  Maybe they knew more of love than the rest of us.  Maybe they understood just how precious each human life is to the God who bore us.

Where has the Spirit gone?  Is He lost, irretrievable to man or have we just forgotten how to address Him and welcome Him into our temples, town homes and churches?  What purpose is served by separating ourselves from the guiding Spirit of God?  To me it would be done to escape the correction, recrimination and whispers of conscience.  This makes the most sense, as a man I want what I want when I want it, so the honesty of a Spirit that always guides, corrects, reproves and admonishes would be a constant and unavoidable nuisance from who, if I were pursuing my own way, I would seek division.  Perhaps, He, just like God Almighty cannot be party to my repeated sin, being Holy, Righteous and True.  That would cause Him to separate Himself from me if I continued in my folly, exacerbating my dilemma, hopefully to the point where the pain was unbearable, forcing me to cry out to God.  Perhaps, the most frightening thought is that the Spirit never came upon me so I have never know Him.  This thought I cannot bear.

Whatever the reason for His exit, I bid Him return to the saints and the churches.  Please Holy Father send us your chastening Spirit to counsel, guide and instruct us toward Your Perfect Will.  Empower us to do those things for which we have been designated ambassador.  Let us demonstrate Your Love to an unloving world, saturated in sin and rapidly losing its direction, sense and honor.  Come back to us so that we might have everlasting relationship with God and one day see You in Your infinite Glory.  Praise You Father for Your Wonderful Spirit, let Him fill me to capacity with Your Goodness, Mercy and Love in these days when those things have become scarce.  In the Name of Jesus the King.

http://www.wnd.com/2014/05/is-global-chaos-the-work-of-demons-in-our-world/

Is it just repetitive cycles or swings of political pendulum that we see occurring or is the universe actually unwinding toward chaos?  What influences do you believe control your thoughts, emotions, moods and finances or do you believe that life just proceeds in a dynamically random fashion, pretty much reducing everything to chance and luck?  What if the Bible does say that there is something to the powers, principalities and spirits issue?  Are you still inclined to revise your version of God and His Word that you simply don’t believe in scripture regarding this issue or you resolve to “air brush” biblical teaching?  Either way you are confronted with the difficulty of explaining this increasingly dangerous and violent propensity cropping up in current society.  Do you use sociological impetus to credibly define the catalyst for this what may labeled by more judgmental people as “evil” behavior.  Or do you rally and protest against “the man” or big government, video games and media as the “root cause” of our current dilemma?  Whatever your prognosis based upon your own confidence and wisdom, you are still with the absolute truth that men have had “no ability” to counter this apparent unfortunate trend.  It is only getting worse, you know this to be truth but you can check whatever sources of data you need to investigate, you will still come to this same conclusion.

What is to be done about it?  I know what I am going to do about it and that is go to the Lord in humility and prayer asking Him to intervene on behalf of my family and friends, keeping us safe from the coming storm of evil’s last throws of power before confinement.  I have no authority to do warfare with evil spirits, but I am closely aligned with the ruler of this and every universe who possesses absolute authority over all things, evil or not, Jesus Christ the King of Kings.  I pray to Him asking that He rid my mind, heart and soul of these influences and as He did when He walked this earth He rebukes these spirits commanding them to leave, relinquishing any influence they may have had upon my life.  I speak His Word out loud, drawing the two edged Sword of God’s Mighty Word from which these spirits have no defense and are immediately forced to flee my life and that of my family.  I remain in the company of saints so that they may speak His Word into my life pointing out the times I have dropped my guard or turned my heart away from God making myself susceptible to these evil influences.  It is through relationship that I overcome the spirits, powers and principalities and fixing my mind upon Christ.

Can they convince you that it is all hocus pocus and that no spirits really exist and that God’s Word is actually wrong on this concept?  Have you fallen pray to caring about man’s opinion of your life, replacing the judgments of man for the Absolute Truth of God?  If none of this is true then you must come to grips that there is a war for the hearts of men going on “right now” and you will either be “victor or victim” there are no other roles.  Seek the truth of God and you will see that now is the time to Pray, Prepare and Prevail.  Praise God in the everlasting name of Jesus Christ the King.

It is through my willing surrender to the Lord’s authority and plan for humanity that the world and my life will change.  We see the events aligning with Bible Prophecy.  Although, we may wish that there were more time it is apparent that the time for preparation of our hearts, minds and families is upon us.  Pray for peace in Jerusalem.  Soon the sign of the temple being rebuilt will become evidence of the accuracy of my words.  Let us remember that I am simply repeating what the Bible has clearly predicts is certainly headed our direction.

If you ask the Lord to intervene, provide, reveal or direct make sure that you are ready to make the imminent follow on decision of whether or not to do as He bids.  The Lord will always answer.  The problem is that when He answers many times it is not what we’ve expected or His direction/purpose requires that we obey His lead, which many times does not coincide with our own will.  Man’s greatest quest is for purpose and that purpose resides solely with our Maker.  If you ask God to come close to you then you must be prepared for Him to reveal that purpose for which you have been so perfectly designed.  Often I see that when this purpose is revealed to believers they are dismayed because it provokes the internal conflict of man.  I hear, but wait that is not what “I feel”, or that is not what, “I want” to do when believers are faced with this dilemma.  That is the nature and the “purpose” of free will.  We must decide whether to surrender to God’s Glory and His eternal plan for our lives for the Kingdom of God is here NOW.

Knowing or understanding my purpose is a treasure that is greatest than all the wealth in all the combined kingdoms of this world.  Especially when my purpose is to assist others caught in the slavery of sin and powerful spirits to escape their bonds through the eternal forgiveness of belief on and trust in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ.  There is no greater achievement in this life or the next then to obey God, please God and bring others to know God through salvation, grace and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  Remember what you asked for when suddenly confronted with God’s intervention or answering of your prayers by sending someone in your path who needs salvation and grace.  If I may assist you in the discussion with the Lord to find your purpose please let me know, this is my greatest reward is seeing your growing intimacy with God through Christ.  I am simply an ambassador with a lantern filled with the oil of the Holy Spirit and the Light called Jesus Christ.

Caught up in the things they told her would make her smile.  The coffee had lost its aroma, now tasted simply burned beyond consumption.  One cigarette left, though the vapor was full of strawberry fields.  She laughed, to stop that rising tear, wondering how she had gotten here, not remembering the sequence of events and bad choices that brought her to this version of her present.  She could only mourn, mourning life as if it had already passed.  God would intercede this night, for she had cried out to him in humility at dawn, knowing that if He didn’t she would never have hope again.  He answered the prayer by sending her cousin, who had the sudden desire to travel home from college and would just happen to bump into her at the mall.  She would find Jesus this night and life would begin, cleansed, fresh, new.

A child gone, too soon, taken from his single Dad by something so innocuous as backyard, jungle jim.  Agony, breathing fire, misery and anger his father struggled to keep himself awake, consuming every narcotic and alcoholic beverage he could get into his fist.  Rage, kindled by loss and the guilt of having been negligent, leaving his son in the care of friends as he pursued completion of a drug deal.  This one was going to give him the cash to set himself free from poverty.  None of that mattered much now, for the true treasure had been clarified.  His agony would bring Him to God around four a.m. begging, pleading for understanding or death.  God would give Him neither, but would instead introduce him to Jesus Christ, washing clean his sin and setting him free from the nightmares of this life.  He would learn to live again and bring glory to the precious life of his son by helping others to get free of poverty, pain and drugs.  His pain had meaning in service of the King.

So far gone he couldn’t change, dreaming of other deals, greater payoff and nights filled with luxury and endless sin.  He had broken his pledge to serve with dignity and pride in his public office for the people, even before he had stepped foot past the threshold of the House.  Taken bribes, offered false witness, steered votes, promised reciprocity knowing fully the cost to reputation and code.  None of that figured into his thinking for it had become commonplace, acceptable to lie when you got caught and chuckle when you didn’t.  He was a magician at finding the way to get a kickback, payout or leveraged position, practicing slight of hand and manipulating history to make even the fallen proud.  He would lose it all, this treasured life of sensory satisfaction, in a moment God would call him to judgment at a moment predestined before time.  He would have no choice of eternity, for that decision may only be made by the living and now he is dead.

Smiling, she looked around at the swollen faces of her Grand kids one last time before pulling the covers high to her chin and saying, “I am ready now, I’m ready Lord.  This life had been a moment, a chain of events, some bringing joy, some sorrow, but all bringing her closer to Jesus.  Those cherub cheeks cried loudly, though she told them in whisper, don’t cry, I am going home.  She had served her God and honored a man who himself had made her happy with respect, care and love.  She missed this life for a moment, but then she could see her true life coming, where she would have no pain, never get sick or old and spend every day with God.  A her last breath subsided she knew the reason for her pain, understanding it all was intended to keep her close to Jesus.  And suddenly everything was alright.

Praise you Lord for the joy and pain upon us, meant out of Love to Bring us Home to You.

Foreign persecution, foreign courts, foreign laws, my sister, giving witness to Christ.  Praise God for her strength in this moment of trial.  Where is our resolve, where is our fervor, where is our strength to stand in the face of atheism, ethical relativism and evolutionary ignorance?  Will we get out of the boat and walk to Christ or stay inside the gunwales, shivering, frightened by that moment God reserved for our testing?

CALLING all Christians.  We are the only group in history indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God.  Think on that!  What we do matters and if you know scripture then you know what this world is soon to face.  WE MUST JOIN TOGETHER, as the Body of Christ he intended.  Soon foreign persecution will become familiar, you see it even now as do I.  The enemy agenda must confront God, for the powers and principalities know that there is no hope other than to push humanity in rebellion against all that is Holy, Righteous and True, against Almighty God Himself.  There is no choice but to tell them of salvation, testifying to the Glory of God through Christ.

Lord let me not look into your eyes and explain why I was negligent, disobedient or lazy in my work for the Kingdom.  Let me instead hear those wonderful words as I join my brothers and sisters in eternity.  Well done, my good and faithful servant.  Praise You, Lord.  Forgive them Father, may my sister find peace in your Sovereignty, Be with her this day.
