What does it mean to be ready?  Do you feel ready?  If you don’t that is a component of defining your belief and understanding surrounding readiness.  Readiness includes being completely prepared, equipped, adjusted, arranged, educated or fit for an immediate action or event.  There is also a component of willingness involved, for example being “ready to forgive”.  That unease or lack of confidence when asked about your preparedness is the conscience based alert telling us that something is missing, lacking or in an unprepared state.  Christianity requires honesty and a steadfast adherence to truth.  The truth is we as a “body” of Christians are far from ready.  Considering, the Lord Jesus, the prophets and the Apostles all continually commanded, recommended and preached readiness, then essentially, we have not “believed” the Word of God.

Where did we fall down?  I think we stumbled in complacency, exhaustion, fear and laziness.  We have become complacent in our comfort, forgoing the commitment to hear and obey the Word of God thinking ourselves sufficient when we are actually, “poor, naked, tired and alone”.  We have become exhausted, depending upon our own faculties and strength, forgetting that our peace, energy, direction and comfort are found only in Christ Jesus.  We have become afraid of enemy threats, decay, intimidation, widespread wickedness or the probability of persecution that is increasingly facing those dedicated to the Faith.  We have abandoned our call the readiness and action forgetting the choice which once set us free and the Words of the one “we serve”.  We are no longer slaves to sin, but we have forgotten that we are now slaves to righteousness.  And as good slaves we should be compelled to obey the Lord’s call to readiness.

Can we be prepared?  Yes.  The Lord clearly stated that there would be, two in the field or at the mill and one of them would be taken.  So it is clear that some will be prepared, but the horrible reality is that others will not.  How do we put the “oil” in our lamps so that when the Master comes we will have the light necessary to see our steps to safety?  There are those who will wish to argue with me but the oil is obviously the “Holy Spirit” residing within each born again Christian.  This is supported by the Word as the Holy Spirit is what seals each Christian for eternity.  The Lord Jesus would not let the Apostles leave Jerusalem until they received the indwelling of the Spirit and once they had they were “ready” to do the work for which He had prepared them.

So how do we get the Spirit?  We ask through prayer, accept the Blessing when it comes and then honor the Lords reconfiguration of our hearts and minds.  If there are no fruits of the Spirit in any believer’s life then it is pretty safe and sane to say that the Spirit has not yet come.  We must be honest with ourselves and each other when it comes to the topic of readiness.  This is not something for which we can afford to be wrong.  Ask the Lord for His Holy Spirit and then seek the evidence of His presence in your life and the lives of your families.  We cannot guess the motivation of a man’s heart, but everyone knows genuine faith when they see it.  The Spirit’s leading is obvious, but even if we falsely believe ourselves, righteous, that does not forgive us for not surrendering to the Lord’s continuing attempts to mold and shape us.

We must consistently make ourselves “ready” by being “willing” to receive the Spirit’s guidance, rebuke and prompting.  Not being able to clearly discern the Will of God for your life is pretty solid evidence that He may not be present.  Just as the Jewish People did not hear from Him for four hundred years, you should be a bit alarmed if you cannot determine what the Lord is saying to you.  Unlike the Jews the Lord told us that He will never leave us or forsake us, so if he isn’t speaking either we have forced Him out of our lives, or even more frightening is that He was never present.  The beginning of wisdom is fear of the Lord.  That fear should be, that because we have not accepted the Lord into our lives, and been sealed for eternity by Spirit that we are still subject to His Wrath to Come.  That should frighten every fiber of our souls.

Becoming ready for the things to come requires understanding Prophecy.  Get in your Bibles, join a mature study group that is committed to learning what will soon happen as part of God’s unfolding plan.  Then once you know, the desire for readiness will become apparent and necessary.  Keep oil in your lamps so that when the Lord comes at an day and hour that no man knows, He will find you ready and accept you into His bosom that very moment.  Do not fear man in His attempts to label you foolish for being ready, for the eyes of men have been veiled to the truth that is God.  Men have been turned over to the lie of their own imaginations and wickedness.  Be strong and stand against the wiles of the enemies of God in their attempt to cull you from the ranks of Christianity.  Stay close to your Christian Brothers and Sisters, collectively armored in Faith and Righteousness, Truth, Salvation, Peace and Word of Almighty God, safe from the Wrath to Come.

Walking through the open doorway to blessings offered by the Lord God.  That is what we picture ourselves doing, taking that sigh, as the smile spreads across our cheeks feeling somehow that the light has become a bit brighter.  Everything that we do or have done is seeking love, acceptance and authentic attention.  This world and the enemy would have you substitute that true joy with placebo, but there is no replacement for observing God’s generosity and care when His righteous blessings are bestowed.  We can go through years, nigh decades of misery and all of it is wiped away at that grateful moment of reward.  The only thing that the enemy may do to prohibit that blessing is magnify our personal and private fears causing us doubt and ample trepidation necessary to stop us from walking through the portico.  We must remember our victory may not be stopped only surrendered.

My sin is not just reward for righteousness, in fact it cannot be categorized as a reward at all.  There are those who will attempt to convince us that we deserve judgment for our continual sin and that we are undeserving because we do not find ourselves perfect, incapable of sin.  Do not diminish the glorious gift of grace we were given.  It is sufficient, the sacrifice paid in our stead, what Christ did completed the payment for all sin if only we will accept that gift.  I know emphatically that if the Lord intended me to be righteous at the moment I accepted the truth of His death, resurrection and ascension, then He would have taken me to heaven right then, for my tasking here would have been finished.  But, I am still here, suffering through my weakness, finding His strength, writing His Word upon my heart and standing in the face of tragedy, deception and fear.  My victory over sin is assured, I am no longer a slave to sin, nor am I driven by the fear of it.  My sanctification is now, my purification is now and fortunately will continue throughout the rest of my life on this planet.  The only way that the enemy may have any measure of impact in my life is to hope that somehow the powers and principalities offer up temptation and I do not seek Christ to aid me in resistance.  Again the enemy’s only impact in my life comes through my surrender to sin. I pray that the Lord protect me and deliver me from temptation by filling my mind with the thoughts of Christ.

We are not weak, though we may falter.  We are not strong though we may seem confident.  He is sufficient in all things, to humble my self reliance and fill me with adequacy.  I am meant for His Work.  Illusion is not truth and certainly we will suffer for the short term, but victory is not in the moment but eternity.  And though all things must and will pass away, some will remain, in the presence of Almighty God, shaped for permanency.  Lord give me what I need and take from me what I should not have.  Let Your Word and its Truth be the lamp stand that guides us to Your Promises.  Give us faith, greater than a mustard seed, the kind necessary to stand in the face of those circumstances which must shortly come to pass.  Deliver us and grant us peace in this life and the next.  Praise God in the Mighty Name of King Jesus.  Amen.

Wouldn’t it be simple, if your sin was my greatest problem.  Observing it, defending it, denying, decrying it, left free of my own conscience and self inspection, free to dally in your delinquency?  Never having to search the scripture or go the Lord in prayer, seeking forgiveness and direction.   Always knowing that every word I pronounce over your works or misdoings are rational, deserved and of divine introspection.  But your sin is my problem, in and only in two ways; first it offends God and I know you don’t want to do that, and second it cheapens the fresh start you were given when you were washed clean by the Precious Blood of the Lord Jesus.  Other than that your sin should not concern me, unless of course we share the intimacy of accountability through which we would share the obligation of sharpening each other.   I love you but I hate your sin, as I hate my own.

This is not simple.  The Christian life in fact is tremendously complicated in that we are expected to make and live by choices.  The choice to serve sin or serve God, the choice to be faithful and walk a life of righteousness and truth or serve ourselves and the circumstances in doing whatever is expedient.  I used to dread each night, when the enemy would have access to my heart and mind, egging me to serve my own selfish wants and disobey what I knew to be right.  But the Lord did not give us the Spirit of Fear, but of Love, Power and of a sound mind, so now I cherish the ability to review my actions, be abhorred at the evil I still do and go to the Lord for discipline and reconfiguration.  I am just thankful that I do not also have a responsibility for your choices, for I cannot control myself, God forbid sway the actions of another.  His Word is sufficient.  I trust that it will produce the same growth in you if you choose to reside in it.  That is my only wish, that you remain close to the Word for it is the Power to transform our lives.

I want and I wish and I will and I wait.  Yes, the voices that drive each of us ring clearly and repeatedly in my head, with my only respite being the commitment to wait upon the Lord.  It ain’t easy to shut off those desires of flesh, eye and pride, that must be done through practiced prayer and patience in the Lord.  There is no short cut.  In fact I am willing to bet that if you see a short cut that you may be certain that the great deceiver is behind the perpetration of said illusion.  Life is it’s own meaning, and the living of it is the prize.  Through the embarrassment, the victories, the wounds, the successes and the blunders we arrive at the outcome.  Not a destination but still palpable, still real, still an achievement.  Run the race, rest, reward and everlasting fellowship with the Almighty lay beyond the finish.

Praise Him in His infinite patience waiting upon all the Earth to come to Him in honesty and truth.  You are the Awesome God.  Amen

Not kidding myself that anything I have said or will say provides any “new” information not previously covered in God’s Word.  But that is not what ministry, in my words is necessarily about.  I do not seek a ministry where my name becomes popular enough to positively impact the sales of my next book or seminar.  I do not wish to have a popularized ministry that brings people to my plateau, grotto or cave to tap my endless source of wisdom as some oracle.  This is the ministry of a child of the Most High God, reaching out to those in need, those seeking to share Spirit filled direction and a ministry devoted to showing people that Christianity is about Love, common sense, victory and reason.

We have been provided salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.  This salvation is universal in that it is offered and intended for every person on the Earth that is the “grace” of God extending His offer to all.  However, although the offer is universal the acceptance is governed by very strict guidelines that are not “universally” inclusive, meaning; there are not many roads which lead to salvation but only one, and His Name is the Lord Jesus Christ.  That immediately sets up a complicated conflict by which men will attempt to manipulate that truth for their own power, to justify some inconsistent behavior or to somehow rationalize themselves out of the segment of mankind on the receiving end of God’s judgment.  I will not prattle.  I do not hold the keys to death and Hades, those have been “earned” by the works of the Lord Jesus on the Cross, where He laid down His life for humanity’s sake and took it back up of His own authority to demonstrate His sovereignty.

This is not the ministry of one man, this is a body of Christ, devoted to surrendering themselves to that authority.  This is a group of believers, so taken by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit that they feel empowered to do the things which God has called us, reaching out to spread the seed of God’s Word to each and every plot of soil.  This is the “Path to Life”, that road by which every man must be tested, tempted and measured on his individual journey and growth in relationship and likeness to the Lord Jesus.  My words are not Gospel, but the story I tell is about how the “Good News” of Christ has so affected my life that I am led to do things I would not choose for myself.  I am called to share my testimony, my love for Christ and my love for His Church.  I am not called to judge any man, that right is reserved for “He who is without sin”, and last I checked there is only one man who fit that description.

I am a poor ambassador, a weak leader, a decent at best representative for the Lord Jesus, but I will still strive to do the work that is before me.  I may have poor capacity for love, patience, trial and explanation, but I will still labor into the night in my attempt to quiet one restless heart or lead one more person to the foot of the cross.  I cannot provide salvation, redemption or rescue for any person, especially those who do not wish to be led into the light, but I can be there to help them find the light switch.  My greatest strength is my realization of my own incapacity to do this work.  I am a sinner, in need of a savior and thank the Lord God that He has provided one by which we all may be delivered.  His Name is Jesus Christ, The King of All Creation.  The One true God, outside of time, who chose to step into His creation in order to provide a pathway back to righteousness.  We are all alone, perhaps we can be alone together in our knowledge, love and dedication to Christ Jesus.  Praise His Holy Name and let it be reflected in all that we do, say and believe.  Christ Jesus the King.

The word, “works” implies something fake to Christians.  In fact, we have become so adverse to the image it creates, placing our salvation in question, that we have stopped doing any “works” at all.  Most churches are null, void, dead, reclined or simply disinterested in doing the work to which we have been commissioned.  For much of the Christian family there will be no harvest for there has been no planting, fertilization, weeding or watering.  Church ranks once burgeoning with “On Fire Christians” have diminished or been replaced with a new brand of indifferent, uncommitted or dare I say, “Luke Warm” bodies.  We have become the church at Laodicea.  The worst of it is that we don’t even deny it anymore, we accept this position without the minutest fear of the Lord’s admonition.

“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation.  I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot.  I wish you were either one or the other!  So, because you are lukewarm–neither hot nor cold–I am about the spit you out of my mouth.  You say, ‘I am rich, I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’  But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.  I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve for your eyes, so you can see.

Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.  So be earnest, and repent.  Here I am!  I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.  He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”  Revelation 3:14-21 NIV

This letter, an epistle from the Lord Jesus Christ himself delivered through the committed Apostle, John, is written to each of us.  How am I luke warm?  How have I convinced myself of my wealth and safety denying the truth of my own frailty and weakness.  How can I repair what I have altered and return to the road of authenticity and surrender to Christ?  How can my “Works” be real and produce bounty for the Kingdom of God?  How can I receive the blessings of an overcomer and sit with Christ upon the throne?  How can I take to heart the warnings of God and be what He sent me to become?

This is difficult word, but I receive it in the Love by which it was intended.  I must rejoice in God’s correction for He disciplines those whom He loves.  Father, let me have the ear to hear Your Spirit’s proclamation to the body.  Let us individually and collectively do that which was predetermined before the beginning of time.  Give us clarity in faith.  Let our “works” match the abundance of our hearts.  In Christ Jesus I pray to You Father.

Motivation; catalyst, incentive, stimulus, encouragement, desire, hunger, suggestion.  What a word, conjuring immediate investigation of motives and analysis of action.  Why do we do what ever it is that we do, each of us different, and how many different roads to we traverse in those pursuits?  What sponsors my thoughts, leading to emotion, eventually converted to movement, purpose and result?  And can all these aspects truly be captured in this one word?  This is a microcosm of God’s depth, that moments spent in His Word may lead to a lifetime of contemplation.  The Word lives but it does not change, it is we who revolve around its infinite Glory, each revolution taking in new facet, new perspective, even as we are changed mid orbit.

How can I judge?  For what I perceive with absolute clarity of the moment will by my nature be transformed in my next review.  As I have changed to contemplate it with new cells, new learning, growth and perhaps humility.  How may I test motive of another man’s heart when I possess not omniscience nor the understanding to fully comprehend my own drives, depths and weakness?  Why should I even dally upon such folly unless to somehow deflect the true introspection in review of my own thoughts, actions and repentance?  Taking my eyes off the road even for a moment to review your intentions puts me in danger of trespass, falter, failure or hazard.  I am not your keeper nor you mine, perhaps if we walk hand in hand we may avoid the pitfalls of singular focus.

Where are we headed?  I truly do not know the path or travails of this life but I know the destination.  I cannot take my own inventory even in as much as I will fool myself to thinking that somehow I have stumbled upon a recipe for success and suffer miserably.  This pursuit is simple, stay on the path, look for His light, read and write His Word upon my heart so that it shall direct me to righteousness.  That is not difficult but totally impossible.  So simple yet sublime in detail and intricacy beyond mortal reason.  I shutter to think that some day I will understand and for that I am relieved, because right now, I know but a smidgen.  Praise You Lord Jesus Christ, the Risen Lord of Glory, who was, and is and is to come.  We love you so much Father.

Had enough.  Of the social manipulation, pitting one group against another to deflect focus.  Enough of the wannabees and the have not’s, being bated by the envy as they are told the only way out is to take what the haves have got.  Weak commitments, nothing worth wagering everything, taking a stand unless its for a moment of glory where I can be immortalized for bad behavior.  The easy way out is all that anyone has the courage to pursue.  Wherever the water flows, the gang leads or the money sprouts is what we’re choosing.  Aligning with daydreams to stave off the nightmares, romancing about the undead or the invincible, because anything has to be better than just plain living.

When did we give up so completely?  Acquiescing to the liars and usurpers, trading anything good for a taste of what everyone says is important.  None of it has been worth the trade but we keep on betting, all in, for a piece of a charade that hasn’t helped one single soul.  We see the madness, the sadness and the unfulfillment of saint and sinner alike but we cannot seem to see past the advertisement.  I bought it and rather than bring it back I have to play it out, suffering from a case of buyer’s remorse that strips all that is good from the experience.  Must we accept the band aid, or perhaps can we see our way to bravely accepting the cure?

This world deals in moments, flashes, flares and fizzles.  There is no everlasting, though girls are sold the dream of happily ever after and guys immortalized in self sustaining glory.  Why don’t they want to tell you that pain is a wonderful part of being alive, that learning and discipline are expected variables in this equation of life.  No memory can sustain man.  Sure vengeance, revenge and quests for recaptured instants, may produce drive for satisfaction, but none of it is real living.  Why are we all so uniquely different?  Why is happiness self-defined, self maintained and self perpetuated if we all quest for the package full of buzz words, that we are sold by each new multimedia muse?  How can that be that we are so different yet the obtaining the same dream will bring each of the happiness that is so uniquely defined by each of in singularity?  It doesn’t make sense, just as the feeling in my chest that I know God is watching and yet they say I must deny Him in order to achieve liberality of thought and action.  There is no freedom without God.  No freedom from the massive hypnosis that beckons us to follow lemmings in to Hades.

Enough of this dream.  I want to wake in the arms of God, learning the answers to puzzles my mind has pondered for a lifetime.  Enough of the guessing the worrying the wishing and capitulation, complicity and complacence.  The is the test and it is enough, because this is where He sent me to be prepared for our meeting.  But when I have had enough schooling I will be released to truly live and enjoy that which is truly enough, The Lord My Jesus, the Christ of God.  The end and beginning of all things.  Enough choice, enough voice, enough tears and what is left is pure, kind, gentle and full of hope and love.  I feel as if I have had enough but even that is folly, for I am not in charge.  My life is not my own and I am unwilling as many others to fool myself in to thinking that somehow that this is my plan.  This life is lived for Him, by Him and through Him, for the realization of His everlasting Glory and my seat of in the congregation at the foot of His throne among the beloved of God.  I am surrendered to a Will greater than my own and that is enough for me.

The Narrow Door

Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem.  Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”  He said to them, “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.  Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside, knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’  “But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’  “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’  “But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.  Away from me, all you evildoers!’  “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Issac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out.  People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the Kingdom of God.  Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”  Luke 13:18-30

He did not tell them to remain on their couch, nor did He prescribe a specific performance sequence through which to enter the narrow doorway.  He simply said make every effort to enter through that doorway.  Does this mean we are to struggle in our quest to be found worthy?  That is what the world would convince you, for they too have been blinded by manful ways.  This is not easy Word to ponder, it requires relationship with Holy Spirit in order to grasp fully what may seem as contradictions to the unwise, but are clear to those who have ears to listen.  No we cannot find our way to heaven through our own efforts, but we must still make an effort to enter through the right doorway.

This lesson is for all believers to remain steadfast to the Right Path, the skinny road that leads to the narrow doorway reserved for the faithful to the end.  There are ample diversions, countless opportunities to be waylaid, forgetting our duties and sacrificing our inheritance for a soup trade or a fistful of dollars and sin.  This is a reminder, one of the innumerable calling us to be ready for when the time comes it will already be too late for decision making, sacrifice, surrender and change.  The Lord has spoken and consistently tells us that those with ears to hear, let them listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.  Now these warnings don’t specifically come until the outset of the Book of Revelation, but is that not the time to which we find ourselves committed?

I want to be known by the Lord on that day.  I want to be found with oil in my lamp.  I do not wish to weep and gnash my teeth standing outside a door that no one may open but the Lord.  I do not wish to see the prophets from a distance and fall anguished that my opportunities were mistaken and forsaken.  I do not wish to be part of the many who try to enter but cannot and are denied by the Risen Lord.  I would plead to You now Lord for my inclusion in the Kingdom and ask that You remember me on that great and glorious day.  Praise You in Your Glory, have mercy upon me in my fleshly insignificance.

What is so frightening about an iceberg?  It is the part that is unknown, that which is unseen that presents a threat or terror.  It is the same thing with truth, all must be revealed, for it is the omission which damages trust and faith.  Deception has no part in truth.  If the truth is contorted, rewritten, warped, thrashed, overlooked or redacted it removes that which makes it priceless and pure.  God’s Word tells the truth, wholly, plainly, perfectly, not mincing words or leaving out what makes people uncomfortable in its conviction.  That is why we have become jaded in this country as of late, because we fear that the behemoth below the surface is far more dangerous then the idyllic, pristine structure visible on the horizon.  It is not the lies that disturb us so much as what the lie portends.  First that there is no cause for trust and second that if they concealed it from us at the outset then the real story must be far worse then they’ve let on.

Holy Father, thank You for being honest with me from the start.  There is no elaborate hoax being perpetrated over humanity in order to gather or keep You in power.  For all the power and Glory of this Universe is Yours from the beginning.  Unlike ours or any worldly government/king we did not cede You the authority it is simply, “Yours”.  This world has become a muddied copy of what used to be transparent and pure.  We have lost faith, not in Your Glory but in this world’s capacity to fulfill our purpose.  This obstacle course, riddled with folly, falsehood and fallacy challenges us to remain focused upon the one constant, You Lord.  You are unmoving, unchanging, consistent and untainted by the sin run rampant throughout creation.  If there is a place that is free from this sepsis, let us be led to its gate.  And as Your Word states let us see the cleansing of this world from the ravages of illness, wickedness and sin.  I know You are God by Your enormous patience.  You are waiting for all that will eventually turn back to You in repentance and truth to take that step.  For that I Praise You, for loving us even though we are unlovable and lost.

Lord I pray for that day when all the world knows the Truth of Your Glory.  The day when the shroud is finally removed and even the mockers bow out of awe.  Keep everything I do above the surface so that no one fear what lurks in my shadow, up my sleeve or below the table.  Let me serve Your Children in honesty and in truth all the days of this life and the next.  In Jesus’ Name I pray.  Amen.

http://unitycoalitionforisrael.org/news/?p=9474  President Obama Threatens Veto of Military Religious Freedom of Speech Act currently in the House.

Despite what the media has told us about the current administration’s warm and friendly intentions, the truth, produces an itch akin to bed bugs, poison ivy and wide-weave burlap.  Would you be angry with me if I asked you to rejoice or be thankful as we find ourselves in this present predicament?  This is the nature of persecution.  We have all expected it, looked for it, whispered about it, but we really never knew what it looked like, and now we do.  The alarming thing is that we expected to be the only ones experiencing it, that was a misunderstanding.  You see we are all in this world together.  We all must face the trials to come.  Unfortunately it will be many of the Christians who suffer the most in this life, but everyone is going to face the most difficult times in Man’s brief history.

Why is that so important, because that is why the Lord is sending the tribulation so that unbelievers will be subjected to so much stress, loss of life and travesty that they turn their faces to God.  That is the entire purpose behind the trials which must come to pass.  So will you face the loss of liberty with a sense of joy in your heart, prayer and kind words to say to your neighbor?  I certainly hope so, because this coming persecution is God’s plan not the enemy’s.  Sure there are those of the powers and principalities who will delight in the demise, pain and temporary injury that most certainly believers will face, but that suffering will be short lived and serve a purposes greater than any one of our lives.

Rejoice for the Kingdom of Heaven has come.  Many will turn away, sealing their fate for an eternal separation from God, but more people will come to the Lord during the coming days, months and years than the entirety of history.  There will be an innumerable gathering at the foot of the Throne, praising Him, sharing fellowship, worship and love in the Light of His Presence.  There is nothing here that may break our resolve.  No loss of freedom or life that can compare to what we will be given in the moment of His Great Glory.  Serve God, speak truth and let Him deal with however it shakes out.  There is only on King, One God and One Truth, do not fall pray to the deception of fear.  Love is our Guide and Jesus our King.  Praise Him in Everlasting Glory, Forever and Forever, Amen.
