Time to come

http://www.israelunitycoalition.org/news/?p=7905  They view us as the largest threat, when their true concern should be God’s unbridled wrath.  Destroying the church will only hasten and assure their participation in His judgment.

Standing back, taking a look over my own shoulder.  I see a man, similar in passion and will to any other.  Why then does this man appear different to me in some manner inexplicable?  Something about his constitution does not fit inside current paradigm or venue.  What fire burns that can make such a plain character want to do more than he often finds himself capable or willing?  What is the drive for this train headed toward mercy, grace or perhaps shattered upon the surveyed rocks of yonder lighthouse?  How deep the pool of sadness felt for his brothers and sisters that he cannot tell them other than the truth, even to save his own pride, hide or station?

Lord, early on this man would have been set free from these ominous expectations mismatching his desire.  Yet, I see in him a different spirit, a purpose no longer his own, transformed to do the work as hammer to craftsman or brush to artist.  What brought about such revision of an unquiet heart, damaged conscience and misunderstanding?  The change suits him as a town awaiting its long traveled warriors.  Come home to be what You intended.  I see in him joy born of aligning creation with position and decision.  He is what he should be and it shows even on his not-so-broad shoulder, greying brow and waddling gait.  He readies himself for homecoming and waits happily telling stories of Your glory, Your love and Your perplexing grace.  Praise Your Mighty Hand, My Lord, My King, My God.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Proper Warning

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/  Earthquakes in diverse places,  I believe that this qualifies.

Ezekiel 38 & 39 will soon come to pass where the Lord will show the world that He is there, yet they still will not listen.  Do some research, this past week; Egypt deported Israel’s Ambassador, Turkey is not being allowed into the EU, Russia is threatening anyone that an attack on Iran is an attack on Russia, Libya is without liberty, Syria had major bomb blasts and continues to slaughter civilians, Somalia is in anarchy, the Sudan is in open war between Muslims and Christians, terrorists operate with impunity world-wide, gas prices continue to soar, inflation begins to show its consuming maw, over 100 rockets were fired into Southern Israel and Jordan whispers at a peace agreement by taking the Palestinians in a Jordanian/Palestinian homeland.  All indications point to Biblical Revelation and call us to stand against the wiles of the enemy.

The Lord has commissioned me to herald the coming of the great day of tribulation and His return for His church.  Now is the time of preparation, now is the time of harvest for the grapes in the fields are ripe.  Tell all you meet about the Love of Christ and His soon return, repent of your sins and cast your faith upon Christ Jesus.  Live your lives in abundance and joy without fear, knowing faithfully that the Lord God is in charge.  Do what He told you to do in your heart so that you have no regret and can face Him in confident reflection upon your life’s work.  He loves you so much and if you truly love Him then you will obey His commands.  Praise the Lord Christ Jesus, the Lion to come and bring peace to this world.  Amen.

http://youtu.be/41efCuDM5M8  The preparation for the arrival of the false prophet and the antichrist has been made.  The great deception and apostasy are in full swing.        Prepare for the return of Christ Jesus to set all this straight, Praise Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!!!!!!

Comforting truth

Master the obvious, it is at that point that the learning begins.  There is a God, because there is no other explanation which could possibly explain the wonder that is His creation.  Since He exists and this is His creation it stands to reason that He would be the one to decide whether there are any rules of conduct within His masterpiece.  All things operate within strict parameters, even chaos follows patterns and although there may be things that we cannot explain it is reasonable to assume that those things lay within set guidelines, laws and standards of operation.  It is painfully clear that there are also those who do not seek knowledge thinking themselves beyond it, or desperately seeking to shield themselves from truth in order to follow their own self-serving paths.

The wicked, foolish or pagan man says, “If God exists serving myself is tantamount to mutiny, so I must deny His existence.”  This will not alleviate inevitable judgment but such perverse thinking does allow quelling of the conscience making sin’s momentary bliss possible.  It is obvious that God is there and if He created all this just by speaking then He has the power to reverse that utterance.  Here is the part that is difficult for the human morality to fathom, He promised that He wouldn’t destroy this world but rather provide a path to salvation for each of us to reside with Him throughout eternity.  The unrighteous man believes that God has more than enough reason to condemn us, in fact his guilt of disobedience sours his spoil.  That is a concept that is too awe inspiring to contemplate for the disobedient spirit.  A God who loves each of us so much that He is willing to forgive even the most abominable transgression for the price of repentance and belief.

Therefore, it is logical to conclude that we should stand in fearful awe of such Almighty Glory, Perfection and Authority, which exceeds every measurable limit of our imagination.  Thus the beginning of wisdom is when we comprehend that rightful fear of the Lord.  A fear of respect, a fear of consciousness, a fear of understanding and a fear of the one who Holds the Keys to this world, death and Hades.  Respect for the God who knows everything I am, everything I’ve done and all that I will ever think, believe or become.  A wise fear, not the consuming terror of the things which crawl from dark places.  Them we need not fear but pity, rebuke and stand against, in the knowledge of God’s victory.  For they will face the eternal judgment alongside every denying soul, every mocking mouthpiece and every unrepentant person, caught by their own snare.

The realms of the obvious call every man to reason.  Not the deflection causality of the evolutionary brigand seeking to preserve every man deemed worthy by gift of solid breeding, like himself, while condemning those considered weaker species.  Hitler was such a man as this, those who run our universities, as are those who own our laboratories of scientific research, write our textbooks and practice revisionist history.  Another obvious question is why do such men as these hate the Jews?  This is not consistent with evolutionary theory but rather the demise of the self-seeking wicked who yearn to be free from the painful reality that God is real and at some point they will face Him.  Irrational hate for the Nation of Israel is also proof of their allegiance to that fallen angel who would call himself equal to the Almighty.  They serve the plan of God’s enemies and are therefore enemies of the Lord themselves creating an overwhelming fear which permeates all their thoughts and actions.  That fear creates such trauma in their hearts that they develop religious PTSD, and must deny the obvious truth that is God to exchange it for a lie and consequently lock themselves into the dream reality of self actualization, their only solace service to gods of spirituality without accountability.

To those who would know wisdom read from God’s book, particularly from the opening chapters of Proverbs, which gives precise recipe to establishing wisdom and right living.  Fear the Lord in His righteousness just as any child would revere His Father but knowing that the Almighty is Creator of All.  Grow in wisdom and faith as you hear and contemplate God’s guidance.  Master the Obvious, it is at this point that learning begins.  It is obvious that God loves us and I will begin with that comforting truth.  Praise Jesus.  Amen.

Precision

http://nationalprolifealliance.com/lacg_petition.aspx?pid=18f  Will you stand up for them?

Is there something which bridles your spiritual passion, constraining energies meant to transform your internal topography and transmogrify the surrounding world?  Am I tamed by material nagging and clinging of social expectations and the other hitch-hikers which adhere to the hasps and buttons of my maturated faith?  Is my acceleration governed by inhibitions, fear and quiet dis-confidence?  Do I believe or does my belief hold more credence than its reflection upon the surface of my mortality?  Is my temper real or just spoken illusion, a well tailored vest to be worn to outings as impression?

Lord what is there that I should be doing for the Kingdom at this instant or throughout my remaining moments to which I have neither dedicated my time, energy or coin?  Let me be the doer neither the speaker nor disclaimer.  Give me a life of such grand efficacy for Your Glory that I may be forgotten but the impact of my wake, perpetual.  Don’t let me waste a moment, an asset or a word.  Give me strength, courage and wisdom to do what is required at the precise moment it is needed.  In Your mighty, precious and Holy name I pray Lord Jesus, the Father be blessed.

Deflection or Direction

Persecution — a program or campaign to exterminate, drive away, or subjugate a people because of their religion, race or beliefs: the persecutions of Christians by the Romans.  As posted on Dictionary.com

http://www.wnd.com/2012/03/shocker-american-tyrant-who-enslaves/  We may laugh it off as non-sense, but remember the enemy works in small deceptions, just like with Eve.  I emphatically warn AMERICAN Christians that the subjugation of our religion is in full swing.

http://www.wnd.com/2012/03/you-callin-me-legalistic-thank-you/?cat_orig=faith#ooid=53NXZyMzrt-DS9D6hfIxxYdXFU7BHM-J  You judge this word.

We have violated a trust with God, individually and as a nation.  Our crimes are evident, measurable and long standing.  We label ourselves Christians yet do not walk the walk.  We flaunt our covering under grace then accused others of entitlement behavior.  Fifty million babies have been killed in the name of self-actualization, because of inconvenience or infringement on our personal plans.  We don’t care for the orphans, don’t know the widows and speak ill of the foreigners whom God directed us to treat with dignity and care.  We condone homosexuality, sex out of wedlock, hording, hypocrisy by church members, lack of worship, lack of prayer and lack of Bible education.

We have fallen away and don’t have the spiritual aptitude to see our separation from God.  We will be the ones beseeching the Lord Jesus to remember us though we were filled with iniquity, shame and disobedience.  This nation stand ready to approach the jurist’s bench and be found without excuse.  Just as Israel was always given ample warning by the Lord before discipline, we have been told clearly of the correction to come.  I have personally heard dozens of respected Preachers, Pastors, Clergy, Elders, Missionaries and Lay people proclaim the coming judgement.  I know that you have heard it too.  But have you heard it, with an ear to understand that it was spoken to me and you?  Have you heard it with clarity enough to call you to repentance, action or re-committal to Christ?  Have you heard or did you just listen as a casual observer, auditing some course for the person who really needs to learn?  If you didn’t come clean at that point or feel compelled by the Holy Spirit to act shortly thereafter then you never heard.

Fume, fuss and even throw things, it matters not, for just as at the White Throne the Lord will pull out the Books and show the lost what they’ve done, we through the grace and truth of the Lord, know our circumstance.  We have discernment and a clear Book of the Holy Word to measure against our works.  I hope beyond all hope that you have heard enough to obey the Lord Jesus.  Lord please forgive us, purge us of our iniquities and return our faces and hearts to You and Your dynamic Word.  In Jesus’ Name I pray for this nation I love.

The Listening Post

Hear the heraldry of your distant enemy call out to you in the night warning of coming onslaught, provoking your dread and fear, promising destruction by dawn’s arrival.  We know it’s not the truth but to listen tickles that unhappy doubt, prodding the imaginary downfall as if assured.  The shrill voice of darkly wisdom declaring victory for the powerful, the rage-minded and the merciless.  Silence echoes its frightening voice of tinnitus to equilibrium and dispelled courage.  Oh how can I stand against such raw, frightening prowess as prey to hyena’s jaw or tinder to open, savage inferno?  I am lost, I am riven, I am laid low bereft of will, might or sword arm.  Defeat is my choice to gain in trade what I may lose in battle, I sell my hope for a piece of nightmare, darkness and leniency.

This is the enemy.  The story of surrender to naught but a noisy night-shade, having already lost all his potency, shouting pompous threats through a megaphone, laughing as so many fall to the deception.  Giving in to a defeated, damned tyrant whose flag lay scorched, tossed aside a burning lake waiting his arrival.  The power to deceive given to him by each man losing sight of God, trusting not in the Creator of All, preferring to give way to fearful brigands.

Rebuke them Oh, my Mighty Christ The King Of ALL.  Send them to the depths if that be Your Will Lord, but remove them from my life, prohibit their whispers to my brothers, friends and charges.  Keep us clean, prepare us for this battle, which on such a day as the world has never seen will find You standing alone, victor over all unrighteousness.  Shatter all the enemy’s proffered illusion to the masses, sold for the price of eternal freedom.  Make his treasure worthless and pitiable.

I pray that all may come to You Lord seeking shelter and salvation, but I know Your Word says that this will not happen, so I pray for their immortals souls to be bequeathed to Your Justice and grace.  Forgive them Lord, they are blind and alone.  Grant them sight, Father, Grant them sight so that they may escape the tendrils of the succubus.  Set them free, indeed.  Praise You Almighty God, Maker, Keeper and Judge of All things from beginning to the end and beyond.  Your Word Be Praised, in Jesus’ Name I pray.  Amen.

http://youtu.be/XXOGCFHtOu8  Avoidance, aloofness and turning a blind eye.  The world’s attempt to placate the Middle East at an unacceptable cost.

Lion of Hope

The world matches the Word.  Loving this life and hoping that everything will remain copacetic is a dynamic for conflict with the Kingdom.  For things are not remaining constant, ceteris paribus is not the motto of our current era.  Russia for the first time is teaming up with the likes of Iran in pursuit of pacification and domination of the Middle East.  A scenario architecturally detailed in Ezekiel 38 and 39.  Turkey seeks return to the empirical stature of Ottoman history.  North Africa is wrought with Muslim passion for conquest, while Syria struggles to pacify the forces of tyrannical resistance.  Increasingly powerful storms strike weekly, earthquakes increase exponentially and local wars rage. The global economy is in disarray, carbon emissions are poisoning the oceans and the sky while violent pursuits and bloody octagon battles have become our children’s entertainment, passion and pursuit.  What about any of this belies an underlying current of prevailing peace?

People have decided that collective “spirituality” is the route to world salvation and that somehow unproven evolution will take us to the desired golden age of prosperity hitherto unavailable.  Our leaders are disingenuous talkers, our children are angry, disenfranchised and manic, our finances are uncertain, population levels threaten the sustainability of available resources and uncontrollable diseases continue to change the face of third world nations.

Who in their right mind would seek to maintain this current scenario?  What judge would come to this type of conclusion based upon the litany of current, global evidence toward the contrary?  This world is winding down, as the Bible foretold and yet even Christians fail to heed the consistent warnings of repentance, preparation, witness and right-living.  The Bible is the truth.  The lie and delusion is that somehow the sinking ship called “humanity” will suddenly right itself.  That somehow, men who have lied, stolen, raped, killed and dominated the weak throughout history will suddenly see their own wickedness and turn from their perilous path.  This vessel is going down, the rats have left and all that remains are godless victims left with a hope that they do not comprehend, ill equipped, ill advised and infected with the sin which punctured the ship at the outset of our dilemma.  When rapture occurs there will be no church-voice remaining calling the world to rationality.  The world will crave its true master and will be ripe for the entrance of the son of perdition, echoing their mantra of false peace, false hope, false love and dishonest salvation.  But that’s okay, he must first come before Christ may return to set the world straight.

The world’s coming hope is Christ the King.  He will give a new ship named appropriately, Righteousness.  Give a new relationship driven by Love, care and kindness and honesty.  And then in the end when all illness had been eradicated He will give a new home called New Jerusalem where we will reside with Him in peace throughout eternity.  Ah, the thoughts of breathing air without sin, pollution and worry.  Put your faith in Jesus, the only Salvation, the only Hope, the Rock of Ages.  The Messiah, the ruler of all God’s creation, the Light, the Truth, the Lion and the Lamb.  Thank you King Jesus.

I didn’t say

I didn’t say that I loved them as the world went speeding bye.  I didn’t say how excellent I felt in the warmth of the afternoon sky.  I didn’t tell the story to everyone I met and missed every opportunity to voice out my regret.  I didn’t read the wisdom within the hallowed book or cry for deep discernment to the mysteries I mistook.  I didn’t say good morning before the noon day sun and wondered where they’d gone to as evening soon was done.  I didn’t say God help us in passion and in prayer, reluctantly recanting each plea that I’d lain bare.  I didn’t wake the city to warn them with my hope providing strong footing for all on slippery slope.  I didn’t tell Him thank you for forgiveness, love and grace and for giving me an eternal smile in my heart and on my face.  I didn’t say God Bless to all who would be saved instead choosing my own service to the idles that I craved.  I didn’t find the answer because I never stopped to ask, thinking myself unequal to even the smallest task.  I spoke so many phrases my words were never short but as I rambled endlessly, I did it all for sport.  Some times I spouted wisdom accidentally or just by chance and found my way to fortune and even to romance.  But the parts of life so empty along this golden way could have been filled with great treasure by the things I didn’t say.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/09/us-usa-housing-churches-idUSBRE82803120120309  And the churches continue to say that they can borrow enormous amounts of money to fund elaborate edifices without consequence to ignoring the Lord’s commands.  Fiddlesticks.  To the current America/Laodicean Church I recommend the following words of the Lord Jesus,  “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, and 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 to 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 to put on 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 3:14-22

Affirmation

http://www.cbn.com/media/player/index.aspx?s=/Archive/News/Stakelbeck_Terror_030612_WS  Evidence thwarts speculation

http://www.cbn.com/media/player/index.aspx?s=/Archive/News/Stakelbeck_Terror_012512_WS  Be informed, be warned, be in prayer

Darkness drops upon early evening, just enough remaining light to make out shapes in the distance.  Street noise winding down as rush hour traffic turns into moments of free time before sleep.  A light rain falling, I slowly roll down the road-side path on my bicycle, bouncing up and down on the uneven pavement.  My thoughts review the day and I recognize a bit of anxiety knowing that I am still far away from home and the coming night will make my travel more difficult.

As I bring my nerves under control I look over my left shoulder at the commuter train, approaching from the southeast.  The snaking metal behemoth sounding its body-shaking horn several times prior to crossing the roadway in its off-perpendicular passage.  Three quarters of the way across the road I am brought to an abrupt halt as a speeding, dump-truck drives full throttle into the side of the train two cars behind the locomotive.  As the explosion and twisted metal ensue I realize that there are no lights on the train and the warning signals for the train crossing are not flashing.  My immediate shocks turns to horror as for the next thirty seconds, seven other vehicles of various size and shape follow the dump truck into the same spot on the side of the train.

I want desperately to run and help but I cannot reach the ghastly scene as each successive vehicle joins the collision.  In the instant I am crippled by inaction, I wonder briefly what the next hour will look like, not even imagining what tomorrow will bring.  My reaction is endemic of a reactive man to calamity.  What would I have done had I been prepared for such horrific conditions?  Of all the feelings that I could possibly experience, this paralysis, fear and helplessness is the worst.  A pain for which there is no ointment but Christ.  A response for which there is no other sensible course of action, but preparation of the mind, body and spirit for any other potential or future episode.  Experiential pain.

Honorable

Walking alone on the busy boulevard reminiscing over things, loves and endeavors.  What have I remembered which should have been forgotten, what have I forgotten that which should be recalled?  Did I make anyone smile today, feel better about themselves or feel appreciated for the work that they were doing?  Did I care, actually care, not just listen waiting to give my well-thought out rendition of the next brightest thing I could conjure up?  Are people something which serves my need, ego or artifice or do I actually give a hoot about what resides at the heart of their concentric circles?  Is this world here for me or am I truly made to serve this world on my way to a better place for having learned all there is for me to garner from this life space?

Do children welcome me with gladness, do woman feel that I want to listen and therefore back me up when criticism comes to call?  The Lord says things like, What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?  Ecclesiastes 1:3  I ponder the fate of all men and realize that we all face the same maker based on the same rules in roughly the same amount of lifetime.  There is none of us different, that is the fairness of our Lord.  He loves us all the same and gave of Himself for all men, so that none can say there has been any partiality, superiority or favor.  Do I reflect this measure with which God looks upon all His creation?  Do I show all the same love, the same care the same attention?  Perhaps, not I will reflect on this on the walk back to my resting place.

“Light is sweet, and it pleases the eyes to see the sun.  However many years a man may live let him enjoy them all.  But let him remember the days of darkness for they will be many.  Everything to come is meaningless.  Be happy, young man, while you are young and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.  Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment.  So then , Banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, for youth and vigor are meaningless.”
Ecclesiastes 11:7-10

There is a price for all my action or inaction.  Am I conscious of said cost or do I flippantly approach life in a sarcastic or selfish mannerism as not to weigh this accounting wisely?  Will I treat the next ten people I meet with the same comprehension?  Lord, teach me to be an excellent steward of the things, loves and endeavors.  So that I may bring glory to Your name in my use of your provision.  Give me grace, understanding, wisdom and peace and train me to love all the same way that You would have me care for them.  In Jesus’ Holy Name, Christ my Savior, Hope and Eternal Loving King.  What a glorious ring.
