 Why does it seem like everyone is offended by everything? I mean, they cancelled Mr. Potato Head! What's up with that? The feeling or emotion of being offended comes from self-pride, or, in this instance, a sense of entitlement, and fear, lack, doubt, unbelief, all things Satan instills in us. "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1:7 Entitlement . If you think about it, man is really only "entitled" to one thing, and that is the breath of life breathed into his nostrils: "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Genesis 2:7 And that, only as long as God allows: "And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done." Revelation 16:17 No one understands the Bible completely. That is why there are many commentaries and opinions on many passages. But God ... But everything He created is very good. "And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good." Genesis 1:31 I read this morning that they are removing Jefferson statues (somewhere in the United States) because he owned slaves. Do you see what they are doing there? Will they remove the Bible next because they owned slaves? God takes the evil imaginations of men (and demons, spiritual wickedness in high places Ephesians 6:12) trying to harm us, and turns them to our good. Satan always loses. As Joseph told his brothers, after they threw him into a pit to die, and then he was sold into slavery in Egypt, and became second in command to the Pharaoh: "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive." Genesis 50:20. Because, of course, as we know, decades later, Joseph saved his brothers and their families, and many people, from a grievous famine in the land. God has nothing but thoughts of peace toward us. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jeremiah 29:11 And God's final act mercy for man was sending His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins. "But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 He gives us good and perfect gifts from heaven above: "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." James 1:17 And, "We love him, because he first loved us." 1 John 4:19 Hallelujah to the Lamb of God. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

 There is only One God found righteous above His fellows: "Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows." Hebrews 1:9 As I write these blogs, which represent revelations God has given me over the past few years, I realize God's theme throughout, which is the lukewarm Christian. It is time to pick a side: God or Satan. Along those lines, at the end of 2021, God put on my heart that 2021 was, indeed, not just another year, but 2021 was the year that America and the World began to awaken and realize that there is only One God who can save us, even with Eternal Life. Learn how to know God by hearing from Him, and gaining an understanding of Him and His Holy Spirit, the Comforter, which can only be received after accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. John 14:26 "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." The Good News of the Gospel of Christ "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13 "Call upon the name of the Lord" by saying the Prayer of Salvation out loud, along with me. Heavenly Father, thank you for Your many blessings in my life. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins. I repent of the sin in my life, and I turn away from it, and surrender in full obedience to God, the Father. I believe with all my heart that Jesus Christ is Your only begotten Son, who died, and rose again, and now sits at Your right hand in heaven. I accept Him now and forever as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for loving us, and for Your sacrifice. In Jesus' Name. Amen. Now that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you can begin to walk with, and talk to, God. To activate Holy Spirit in your life RIGHT NOW, stand up, raise your hands in the air, and give all glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving to the God of the living, the living God, and watch Him come right where you are standing and fill you with His Spirit! Now, follow these three easy steps every day, and watch blessings from heaven pour into your life. First step in how to hear from God: Live Your life now by the standards of God's kingdom, and follow God's precepts and commands. What are the standards of God kingdom? Moral uprightness, righteousness. Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." Jesus had two of His own commandments: Matthew 22 36 "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Second step in how to hear from God: Pray to God frequently throughout the day, ask for discernment (understanding) of His word and His plan for your life. Prayers do not have to be elaborate. God knows our hearts: "I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings." Jeremiah 17:10 And, God knows what we need before we know we need it: "Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him." Matthew 6:8 If you are short on words, simply pray the Lord's Prayer, as given to us by Jesus. The more you pray, the easier the words will come to you: The Lord's Prayer Matthew 6:9-13 "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen." And, the Third and final step in how to hear from God: Read the Bible! You will get as much from God as you give Him, so the more the better. Read chapters every day. Do not worry if you do not understand every word. Keep reading and praying. What version you read is not as important as just reading it. Switch between your preferred version, like King James Bible, and an easy-to-read or Amplified version, or a study Bible, to help with difficult passages. God will give you understanding. That is it! Accept Jesus, obey God, read the Bible and pray. It is THAT easy. God's gifts come in differing forms: dreams, visions, knowledge, talents, prophesying, tongues, healing, and more: 1 Corinthians 12 4 "Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will." God has made it clear to me, we are in a Spiritual Revival and Spiritual Revolution. No one will be able to deny God's work. Find out if God has gifts for you, and/or God's plan for your life. Do not miss out! What do you have to lose? Hallelujah! Praise God! Thank you, Jesus. Amen!  Heavenly Father, thank you for your many blessings in our lives. Thank you for Your Word, Your Spirit inside of us, and Your only begotten son, Jesus Christ. Amen. Are you thinking about reading the Bible, and have no clue where to start? Don't think, just read! Amen. Seriously, however, which version of the Bible is the best, or most accurate, version to read? It may surprise some people to know that the King James version is considered one of the most accurate English translations of the Holy Bible today! A group of 54 translators worked 7 years to complete the King James translation. What does God say about His Word? Psalm 12:6 "The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." Purified seven times: Is it a coincidence that the King James Version is a culmination of six previous translations, with the King James Bible being the seventh, Purified Seven Times, as follows: Tyndale Bible Coverdale Bible Matthew's Bible Great Bible Geneva Bible Bishop's Bible King James Bible Now, I do not think it matters which version we read, as long as we read it. Personally, when I started studying the Bible in 2019, I was blinded by the ruler of this world, and I found it very difficult to understand the King James Version. So, I began studying God's Word in an easy-to-read Bible. Then, next, I read the entire Bible, Genesis to Revelation, in an Amplified Version, which is more pages, more words, because it explains a lot of passages. And, finally, I was called to read His Word in the King James Version, which I just completed recently, and have since started reading it again at Genesis. Honestly, God does not care which version we read, and if He does care, He will let you know. Just read it! He is waiting to show YOU great and mighty things. Call unto Him. "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Jeremiah 33:3 I have said this many times, but it is worth repeating: Praying is how we talk to God, and reading His Word is how He talks to us. God Bless You-All. Amen.  James 5 verse 16 “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” God says, Confess our faults one to another. How many of us like to admit that we are wrong? Probably not very many. That makes it a little difficult to confess our faults one to another. It is okay. No, it is not okay, but it is human nature, Satan’s nature, to protect ourselves and our feelings. Satan is very good at his job, but God is our protector, our provider, our shelter, and our salvation. The remainder of James 5 verse 16 tells us why God tells us to confess our faults one to another: Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. I am sure we all want to be healed, healed physically, emotionally, spiritually, body, mind and soul. Healed from years of Satan’s influence in our lives, beating us down, whispering in our ear that we can’t, we aren’t good enough, or telling us we are too good! Not too long ago, the Pastor at our church asked for testimonies, and I had this testimony with me, but when he asked, I shrunk back and hid the paper. Sly as a fox. Who else was sly? Satan! So, I did not get up and give this testimony; I’m a coward. Satan won that round, and after hearing the lesson that night, of course, I wished I had given it, because it was about sweeping Satan under the rug. Anyway, the reason you will see that I did not want to give this testimony, basically ever, is because I will be confessing my sins, my faults, one to another. God’s Word is alive, and it is written for us. His Word says, Confess your faults, and pray for one another that you may be healed! So, here goes. First, just know that I love children now. Around April 2022, Holy Spirit revealed to me how Satan operates in our lives, to keep us from fulfilling God’s Will and God’s plans for us. More specifically, He showed me how Satan has operated in my own life, basically grooming me with bad quirks, bad habits, dislikes, even hates, illnesses, and other behaviors and physical attributes that Satan thinks, hopes or counts on preventing me from obeying or freely serving God’s call now. Remember, Satan’s goal at all costs is to keep us from our rightful inheritance, and to keep us from our blessings. To see how Satan operates generally, let’s look at Genesis 3:1: “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.” Subtil means cunning, wily, crafty, deceitful, using trickery, underhanded. THAT is Satan! Still looking at Genesis 3 verse 15 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” So, we can bruise Satan’s head, but he can only bruise our heel. Satan is under our feet, to be stepped on, trampled on. Some translations have it as “crush Satan’s head.” Personally, I prefer that translation: We can kill Satan in our lives; remember, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Satan cannot kill us; he can only tempt us, with worldly, material things, and evil, fleshly vices. 1 Corinthians 10:13 “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” Amen and amen. Satan is only able to tempt us with these worldly things, and he is able to tempt us only so much, because God will not allow us to be tempted more than we can withstand: Our God is amazing and good - all the time. Amen. Following are two examples of how Satan has tried to work in my life, and has done a pretty good job until about four years ago. Perhaps, confessing out loud will give others the courage to recognize some of the ways Satan may be holding them back from freely fulfilling God’s Plan in their lives right now. After all, knowing is the first part of doing, or overcoming. In May of 2020, I wrote my first Testimony to God’s Power, and in that Testimony, I tell how one of the first things God put on my heart in 2019 was to quote “help the children.” Easy enough, right? Except for as long as I can remember, I would tell anyone who asked or who would listen: I don’t like children. I know, right? Who doesn’t like children? Satan! So, Satan whispered in my ear most of my life, You don’t like children, and this was one of my life’s mottos, or Satan’s mottos for my life. So, if any children are listening right now, I love you all now. God is good. Amen. Satan is evil. Now, lo and behold, decades later, after I am firmly planted in Satan’s motto for my life, and loving it, God tells me to “help the children.” You cannot make this stuff up. Do you see how God called me to do the one thing that Satan thought he had prepared me my whole life to dislike? I did help the children by donating money to various charities, and by spreading God’s Word on social media to pro-choicers for about a year and a half during lockdowns, until social media became social(ism) media. Before God called me to this service, I had no problem with abortion. I thought: there are too many unwanted children already; too many children not being raised properly; my body my choice seemed reasonable. I now despise abortion with a vehement dislike. Jesus said, Hate evil. Abortion is evil; abortion is an abomination, and nowhere in the Bible does God, the Father, tell us to murder or kill our babies, born or unborn. Bless the unborn babies, Lord, bless the little children. In Jesus’ Name. Amen. The next life motto Satan whispered to me over my lifetime, and sadly has apparently whispered to a lot of people, because I hear people say it often is: I don’t like people; I hate people; or even, I like animals more than I like people. Jesus had only two commandments: Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. Nowhere did Jesus say to hate people. To the contrary, He said love them, pray for them, bless them, feed them, give them something to drink and clothes to wear, love them as if they are you. We are in a time of refreshing by God right now, hallelujah! when our sins may be blotted out . . . if we repent of them. Acts 3:19 “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” How else does Satan work in our lives to try to keep us from reaping our blessings from God? Many people, including me, while we are sleeping, make grand plans of things we want to do around the house, or in life, maybe how we want to serve God, or a ministry we want to start. And, then, we wake up, and the reality of who we are, who we have become in this life, sets in. Fear sets in. Satan sets in. Then, we start talking ourselves out of it. We hear Satan there in the background saying, You can’t do that; you don’t even know where to start with something like that; no one will help you; it’s a lot of work; that’s not who you are; you have too many responsibilities already; you can just serve God another way? Man has a sinful nature, courtesy of Adam, Eve and the serpent in the garden of Eden. We must combat this sinful nature every day; we must resist Satan every day and he will flee from us. James 4:7 Amen. God forgives us for the sins for which we ask Him to forgive us. If, then, we have a sinful nature, it stands to reason we must repent to God, turn away from sin, and pray for forgiveness every day. This is why it is important to have God’s Word stored in our hearts. The more God’s Word is stored in our hearts, the less the devil will come around, and be able to steal our blessings. With God’s Word stored in our hearts, God Always Wins, and We Do Too! Amen. In 1 Corinthians 15, Apostle Paul wrote that he dies every day. How could he die every day? Because we have a sinful nature. Yes, we have the Power of God’s Spirit, God’s Word, and the blood of Jesus Christ, by which we strive to become more like Jesus on a daily basis, to overcome this sinful flesh and sinful, evil world, as Jesus overcame, but we are still human, and we still have a sinful, human nature; God’s forgiveness does not remove our sinful, human nature. 1 Corinthians 15:31 from the Amplified Bible “I assure you, believers, by the pride which I have in you in [your union with] Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily [I face death and die to self].” There are many ways we can sin against God talked about in His Word. Our lukewarm to cold society and churches have caused people to sin by teaching that because we believe in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we can do whatever we please and are forgiven. No. This is a fallacy, an untruth, not even supported by God’s Word. To the contrary though, it is not that now we can do whatever we please, but because we have the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, now we no longer desire to do those sinful things we used to do. Amen. There are many sins talked about in the Bible. One of the greatest sins is pride in oneself, to which Apostle Paul is referring in 1 Corinthians 15:31: Because he had pride in [himself] for bringing these unbelievers in Corinth to Christ, and he is saying he sins every day and dies because of that pride. We also see the sin of pride at work in the book of Esther, where Haman’s self-pride got him executed on the hangman’s gallows that he had built specifically for Mordecai the Jew to die on, because Mordecai would not bow down to him as commanded. Haman was instead hung on the hangman’s gallows, and Mordecai, a humble servant to God, took his place, and became king Ahasuerus’ second in command. So, there are many ways a man can sin against God every day, and we can only combat those sins with prayer and His Word. Amen. In Job 33, Elihu, the only friend of the four who spoke to Job, whose words were not condemned by God, Elihu is basically telling Job to stop complaining against God; that God speaks but no one listens. Job 33 from the Amplified Bible Verse 13 “Why do you complain against Him? That He does not answer [you with] all His doings. 14 For God speaks once, And even twice, yet no one notices it [including you, Job]. 15 In a dream, a vision of the night [one may hear God’s voice], When deep sleep falls on men While slumbering upon the bed, 16 Then He opens the ears of men And seals their instruction, 17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct, And keep him from pride;” God speaks once, even twice, and no one listens. It doesn’t say, Maybe He speaks. It says, He speaks. He opens our ears and seals our instruction, so He can turn us aside from our conduct: our thoughts, words and actions, and keep us from self-pride, thinking we are better than our neighbor. God seals our instruction in the wee hours of sleep, and then we wake up, and Satan’s lifetime of training kicks in: sickness, fear, doubt, unbelief. Some people feel persecuted on a daily basis, oppressed, beaten down, sad - persecuted, as if they are guilty of something, of which they have no earthly clue. When we feel that way, we should go into prayer with God. Repent of our sins, cry out to Him, tell Him that we turn away from our sins, and that we surrender in full obedience to Him. Pray for forgiveness. Ask for His Will to be done in our lives. Amen. The words in the Bible are not just words. They are active and alive and powerful, and written for us. Hebrews 4 verse 12. God cannot repeat it enough: If we pray fervently, without ceasing, and meditate on His word, worship Him, give all glory, praise, honor and thanksgiving to Him, day and night, every day, it will activate enormous blessings in our lives, and we will know that He is real. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.  "He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him." John 3:36 All glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving always, to the One True God, the living God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.
At the end of 2020, God showed me that He is drawing a line with His finger in stone, and everyone will be able to see on which side of the line they stand, and make a choice. Then, two years later, on December 27, 2022, that "The Line is Drawn." And, finally, yesterday, January 3, 2023, showed me that the two sides of the line are "Justice" and "Wrath." God is lifting the veil of blindness from our hearts momentarily, so we can choose righteousness, mercy and compassion, or justice. What does this mean? It means we, the people, need to remember God's Word, and which side of the line He represents, because sometimes the line may seem a little blurry, if we do not have God's Word stored in our hearts. JUSTICE OR WRATH Justice definition: "the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness." Wrath definition: "1) strong, stern, or fierce anger; deeply resentful indignation; ire.; 2) vengeance or punishment as the consequence of anger." "For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain." Isaiah 26:21 So, God's wrath is His punishment for man's injustice, or unrighteousness. If we choose the side of Justice, or Jesus Christ, then we have no reason to fear God's wrath. This is the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The earth and its inhabitants will be judged, and God's wrath will be unleashed. This should be no surprise. Practically the entire Bible is about God's wrath against unrighteousness and wickedness. God's wrath is justified against the ungodly and unrighteous. Therefore, God is good, because His wrath is justified. We first saw God's justice and His wrath in Exodus during the passover, when the Jews marked the lintel of their doors with blood, so that God's Wrath, or the Destroyer, would pass over their homes. See my blog titled, The Demons Are Out, for more information about God's wrath and the Destroyer. Again, we saw God's wrath during the flood in Genesis 6, when all of mankind, except Noah and his family, were judged for unrighteousness, and faced the wrath of God, and all inhabitants of earth, except eight, were destroyed in the flood. The ritual of animal sacrifice in the Old Testament was also about God's wrath against injustice, or forgiveness for all unrighteousness of man, with Jesus Christ being the final blood sacrifice and forgiveness for sin. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was about God’s wrath against injustice and sexual immorality. The Old Testament wars against the Gentile nations were about God’s wrath against their injustice, idolatry and abominations. God did not choose sin and death for mankind. He did not choose wrath, but He did choose justice, or righteousness. Adam and Eve chose sin and death for mankind. If there were no sin, then there would be no reason or need for God's wrath against injustice, but once sin, or injustice, or unrighteousness, entered into the world, God's Wrath was the natural order of Justice: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness." Romans 1:18 Let's delve briefly into the movie, "The Matrix," where after being given a glimpse of reality, which is a world where man is literally enslaved in pods by artificial intelligence/machines, and reality is a lie, Neo (Keanu Reeves), is asked to choose the red pill or the blue pill, and told “You take the blue pill…the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill…you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” Red pill / blue pill Right hand / left hand Blessed / cursed Matthew 25:33 "And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left." Matthew 25:34 "Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:" Matthew 25:41 "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:" Many times over the last few years I have questioned myself: Am I on the right side of God's line? Good or evil, God or Satan, and now, Justice or Wrath? Choosing God's side of the line does not mean just choosing not to kill unborn babies; that should be a no-brainer. Choosing God's side of the line does not mean just going to church every Sunday. Choosing God's side of the line means choosing Justice, which is righteousness. Not just with words but with action: Jesus said in Matthew 3:8, Change your lives and show by the way you live that you have changed. Show by the way you live that you have changed. Every aspect of the way we live should be devoted to God and Jesus Christ: The television we watch; books we read; music to which we listen; words we speak; thoughts we think; and our actions and deeds. This is God's Will for our lives. How do we free ourselves and others from enslavement to the world? By living in God's Light. By obeying the remainder of Matthew 25, which says if you have, then give to those who do not have. By fervent and unceasing prayer. By "casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:5. The definition of "imaginations," from dictionary.com: "the product of imagining a conception or mental creation, often a baseless or fanciful one." As in literally most television shows and movies, especially those that are exalted against the knowledge of God: sorcery, magic, evil spirits, adultery, lying, stealing, murder, covetousness, inordinate affection, blood, fornication. Let's face it, it is very difficult to find a television show or movie where fornication (premarital sex) is not the norm. Do not participate in these things; cast them down, and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. No one knows God's Plan, nor each man's role in it. This could not be more plain than in the case of Herod Antipas, who divorced his wife to marry his brother's wife, Herodias. He is most famous for beheading John the Baptist at Herodias' bequest through her daughter, Salome. In Luke 13:32, Jesus calls Antipas a "fox," and in Revelation 2:13, the Spirit [Jesus] says to the angel of the church of Pergamos, "Antipas my faithful martyr." "Faithful" implying a devotion by Antipas to Jesus, Antipas who beheaded John the Baptist. We do not understand God's Plan, nor whom He chooses to use to fulfill it, but we are told not to judge, lest we be judged. We are told not to speak about things we do not understand. Jude 1:10 "But these men sneer at anything which they do not understand; and whatever they do know by [mere] instinct, like unreasoning and irrational beasts—by these things they are destroyed." What better proof do we need not to judge or sneer, to understand that we understand nothing without God's Word guiding us, than the story of the Two Witnesses in Revelation 11. Revelation 11 9 "And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies [the two witnesses] three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. 11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them." We do not understand God's Plan, but what we do know, and can understand, is His Word, the Bible, which is His Plan for us here on Earth, his instruction manual for mankind. First and foremost, He tells us to love Him. Second, to love everyone, all people, as if they are us. On these two commandments hang all the law and prophets. Matthew 22:37-40 "And above all things have fervent charity [love] among yourselves: for charity [love] shall cover the multitude of sins." 1 Peter 4:8 We, Christians, do not live by the law; we live by the blood of Jesus Christ, and the gospel of peace, which is love, forgiveness, mercy and compassion, and if we remember to love unselfishly and unconditionally, as Jesus loved, then we are followers of Christ Jesus, who came to give us that freedom. We do not know God's Plan fully, "For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when that which is perfect is come [Jesus], then that which is in part shall be done away." 1 Corinithians 13:9-10 If we have ears to hear and eyes to see, God's Word helps prepare us through His Justice for His Wrath to come against all injustice, or unrighteousness of men. 2 Corinthians 10:6 "And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary on 2 Corinthians 10:6, from biblehub.com: Quote: 6. Translate, "Having ourselves (that is, being) in readiness to exact punishment for all disobedience," &c. We have this in store for the disobedient: it will be brought into action in due time. when your obedience, &c.—He charitably assumes that most of the Corinthian Church will act obediently; therefore he says "YOUR obedience." But perhaps some will act otherwise; in order, therefore, to give all an opportunity of joining the obedient, he will not prematurely exact punishment, but wait until the full number of those gathered out to Christ has been "completed," and the remainder have been proved incorrigible. End Quote. God has not forsaken us, and He is not slow or late: "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9 Not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance, because the alternative is everlasting destruction: 2 Thessalonians 1 8 "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;" Jesus is not coming to bring peace. He is coming to bring a sword of division between the righteous and the unrighteous. The Line is Drawn: Justice or Wrath. The truth will set us free, free to worship God Almighty, and shine our light in a perverse and evil generation of darkness. Be the light you want to see. Choose Justice. Choose God. Amen. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6 verse 33
How do we seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness? We read His Word and obey Him. Holy Spirit has been putting this on my heart for the last few months, and I spoke at church about it in the last few months, I think, but this morning He showed me the "big picture." People, including me, have a tendency to read the Bible looking for the answers to life’s mysteries, or something specific we want to know, or maybe we want to understand completely every word as we read it, or perhaps we read only a verse or two per day. By doing these things, we can and do often overlook some of the greater mysteries and more important messages that God is trying to show us. God’s Word can be difficult to understand, right? People say, I don’t understand the Bible; it’s too confusing; it’s too difficult. I too have said these things, and frequently still do. Let’s face it, no one understands every word in the Bible. That’s why there are so many commentaries and opinions on so many passages, and these opinions can be helpful in understanding difficult passages, but God will provide the answers for which we are seeking, if we call unto Him. Amen. Jeremiah 33 verse 3 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” God’s Word is alive; it is written for us. Call unto Him by praying and reading His Word. “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10 verse 17 Reading the Bible is how God speaks to us; praying is how we speak to Him; praying in tongues is how we tell Him our heart’s desires, which only He can understand. “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Or, hearing by reading the word of God. Amen! What I was/am really hungry for when reading the Bible are answers to the mysteries of His Word, and how do I activate His blessings in my life? How do I get Him to show me great and mighty things? Um, hello. Here’s your sign! The power of His Word, which is written for us. The power of the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. And, the power of His Holy Spirit inside of us. This morning, again in the twilight hours, Holy Spirit showed me that God, the Father of Lights in whom there is no variableness or shadow of turning, wants all of us to read the Bible, His Holy Word, written for us, so we can find Him and activate His Blessings in our lives. Not only that but something I noticed over the last few years of reading the Bible almost every day faithfully is that the times when I did not read it as often as God wanted me to, I would get a pain in my shoulder. As soon as I started reading the Bible, the pain would go away. I never wrote about these experiences, because I thought I was crazy yet again, but I told my husband about them plenty, believe me. This morning, Holy Spirit showed me that many people in the churches have a nagging pain or ailment because God is waiting for us to read the Bible. Not a verse or two per day, chapters per day, from Genesis to Revelation. Pick up the Bible and read it, and see what happens. Not only might you see minor ailments and pains subside, but God is lifting the veil of blindness from hearts, and He has a lot to show us. So, even if we do not understand what we are reading, read it anyway; and, pray for understanding; and keep reading; and keep praying; and, God will show you great and mighty things. God Bless You.  These are words that God put on my heart when He first awakened me from being dead in Christ around 2019. He showed me some things about our world now, and what is to come. At the time, I didn’t even really know who Holy Spirit was, but I was beginning to know God; He made sure of that. God wants these words said now, to prepare His children for what is coming. Even so, come Lord. Amen. At the end of 2020, God made it clear to me that, Roe v. Wade will be overturned! Abortion will be abolished! When I posted that on social media, people responded with things like: You don’t know what you’re talking about; Roe can’t be quote overturned”; that’s not what it would be called; you don’t know the law; and, the worst, “abortion will never be abolished.” Well, they were right about one thing, I do not know the law, nor did I know the correct “legal” words to use, but God sure knew them, because that was the headline on the news: Roe v. Wade overturned! Hallelujah! Praise God. So, the really good news is that Abortion will be abolished, and that will be a great thing for the unborn babies. Amen and amen. The first part of God’s word to me, however, about Roe and abortion could be considered political and certainly controversial if we consider it from a worldly point of view. But let’s consider it from God’s point of view: Abortion will be abolished. Amen. So, the first part of the Roe and abortion word from God to me in 2020 was that “Trump Won! God Won!” Now, this was after the 2020 election, and I know Trump winning is not a victory to some, but it is to God. God has shown me that Trump is His man to abolish abortion. This is not about Trump; or me or you; it is about God’s children. Abortion will be abolished, and whom should God use for the task? None is righteous; no, not one. Romans 3 verse 17. Surely, God could have chosen someone more righteous than Paul to be Jesus’ apostle; Paul persecuted Christians before following Jesus. So, the morning of January 20, 2021, as I watched President Trump speak at his sendoff ceremony, I realized something: What God's prophets had meant in the previous months, when they said that God wanted all eyes on Him [God], all thoughts on Him, all hope and faith in Him, all GLORY to Him. After the 2020 election, I commented more than once, that it is literally Trump versus the World. And sometimes, as a second thought, I would give God credit, too. Of course, I was wrong. All Glory to God Always ... But, as I watched the sendoff speech, I began to cry, weep, lament, for I now understood that it has never been Trump versus the World, but always, God versus the World! THAT is what God wanted us to realize before His Plan could be fulfilled through, and in, us! So, as I listened to the speech, I was filled with sadness and began to cry for forgiveness and mercy, for myself, but, more importantly, for the World, for God's children, who have lost, or are losing, hope in a flesh and blood man, who cannot save us, who could never save us. Jesus Christ is our Savior, and no one except He can save us! Amen. "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins." Matthew 1 verse 21 Some people say that abortion will never be abolished completely, and they are right, because there will always be evil until Jesus returns. But God’s Word will be fulfilled, and there is a time coming soon when the world will not be murdering 60 million babies per year. Again, God says, Brace for Impact. He is present in our lands, and the earth will shake when he walks. Cast off evil by putting on God’s armour of light: “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” Romans 13 verse 12 The armour of light is God’s Word, God’s Power, Jesus Christ. Amen. Thank you. God Bless You.   Mark 12 41 "And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. 42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living." God started putting this word on my heart about a week ago, but just today, when I was reading the Bible at Joel Chapter 1, He showed me what I was supposed to see about the word. Joel Chapter 1 has nothing to do with this word, but that is how God rolls in my life, that is how He speaks to me.
Heavenly Father, thank you for your many blessings in our lives. Thank you for the Power in Your Word, in the blood covenant, and in Your Spirit inside of us. Thank you for making us doers and givers. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen. So, in Satan's world, on earth, there are "needy" people, suffering, rejected, weary, because Satan tempted Adam and Eve, and they chose sin and death for mankind. But God gives to the "givers" so they have more to give to God's children. I mean, having needy people is not a good thing, but that is not God's fault, nor is it His plan or purpose for us. Having "givers" though is supposed to make it bearable, right? Right! But only if the givers actually give to those in need. Now, maybe breaking it down into the givers and the needy is a little harsh, but it is reality. God does not want man to be in need. He wants the givers to give, but Satan is real, and man has a choice. For the givers that do give, they will be given more to give. Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." God, the Father of Lights, created us, and He knows the end from the beginning, because He made it all, and it all exists and is held together by Him. Colossians 1 16 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." verse 17 again: "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." What is the definition of consist? Below from dictionary.com: Quote: "to be made up or composed (usually followed by of): This cake consists mainly of sugar, flour, and butter. to be comprised or contained (usually followed by in):Her charm does not consist only in her beauty. Archaic. to exist together or be capable of existing together." End quote. So, God is it! He knows it all, the end from the beginning, because by Him all things are made up, composed, comprised, contained, existing together [as One]! As One, the body of Christ, One body with many members, and God as our head. Malachi 3 verse 18: "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." Why did Jesus tell us to love our neighbor as ourself? Because they are us. We are One, in Christ: by Him all things consist, are One. Not just words! God's Word is alive, active and powerful, chock full of blessings and curses, and instructions on how to activate blessings and avoid curses, instructions on how to be like Jesus, and overcome this perverse generation, like Jesus overcame. Jesus came to serve: Matthew 20:28 "just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [paying the price to set them free from the penalty of sin].” "And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all." Mark 9:35 Matthew 20 25 "But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles have absolute power and lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them [tyrannizing them]. 26 It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, 27 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your [willing and humble] slave; 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [paying the price to set them free from the penalty of sin].” Those who serve their fellow man now will be first in life everlasting. This flesh is temporary; this pain is temporary. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10 Love your neighbor as yourself. Help the needy. Not just needy Christians, but especially your brothers and sisters in Christ. If we have the necessities, clothes, food, shelter, heat, and they have not, God's Word says to give. Amen. James 2 15 "If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." Even so, faith in God, believing in Christ, without works, without giving, is dead, as one who barely escapes through the fire, which is judgment. Finally, God tells us plainly about giving in Malachi 3: Malachi 3 8 "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. 12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts." Blessings and curses. Deuterononmy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" We have a choice. Choose blessings. Choose life. God further says that we mumble to ourselves, and say it is vain to serve Him. We say things out loud to question Him. We call the proud happy, and say that those that work wickedness lack nothing: Malachi 3 13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee? 14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts? 15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered. 16 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. 17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. 18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not." When writing or speaking about tithing, I have quoted Malachi 3:8-11 more than once, but today, I read the remainder of the chapter again, and began to cry at verse 16. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving man. verse 16 "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name." Wow! Where to start? So, first man questions if serving God is in vain, because the proud and wicked people seem to get richer and more powerful. "Then"! Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one to another: Those of like mind started gathering together, as in church. "And the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord," Satan has taught people well these days to fear nothing; even infiltrating churches and teaching God's children not to fear God. That is not what God's Word tells us: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Ecclesiastes 12:13 And, not just one scripture, but Jesus also said, "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28 Fear God, not man. The last part of Malachi 3 verse 16 says, "and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name." In other words, Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. There is a scripture I read recently that I cannot remember or find - don't you hate that? It must have been in Ezekiel, maybe Daniel. It was about God's wrath to come, and how it would basically miss the people who were praising God or worshipping Him, like "don't touch them." I can't remember what it said exactly. If anyone knows this scripture, please comment and let me know. Thank you. Thank you. This word from God today is not a commercial, but I do feel that some who read it may need to start sowing into God's Word and giving, in order to start reaping blessings of abundance. So, solely with that in mind, following is a link to the "Give" page for our church: Living Waters Assembly of God - Give. There are also many great charities to which one can and should give, but whatever you do, do not let Satan kill, steal and destroy your blessings of abundance: Give; give often; give regularly; give generously; give joyfully; give until it hurts. Because God is our Provider! He knows what we need. He will not forsake us. All glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving to God, the Father of Lights, in whom there is no shadow of turning. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen and amen. God bless you all.   Yesterday, Labor Day, I was looking at rumble.com, and I noticed that my "rumbles," which are the same as "likes" and "dislikes" on other social media platforms, my "rumbles" were exactly 2,222. I thought it was interesting, and showed my husband, and thought no more of it. Then, we went out to eat, and to Wal-Mart. Our grocery bill was exactly 222 and change. Now . . . it is starting to get my attention. When we got in the car, I told my husband, half jokingly, that we should play the lottery with 222 and 2222. Yes, I am not perfect, and my mind and thoughts still jump to worldly things. Forgive me, Lord. This is why it so important to have God's Word hidden in your heart, so you do not sin against Him. Psalm 119:11 Later, after we got home, I was checking my email, and there was an email from a prophet that I haven't seen in quite some time. So, I read the email, and God told him to help people move to a new level in their lives in God by sowing seeds into the prophet's training center. By now, you can probably guess how much of a donation he was asking for. Drum roll please . . . $222. You cannot make this stuff up! Now, just a week or two before, God had told me to donate $100, and I was still trying to accomplish that. I had tried at a couple of sites that oddly would not go through, and then this happened with 222. So, let's all strive to be like Jesus: Love your neighbor as yourself, as Jesus loved, with unselfish concern. Do unto others as you would have done to you. And, most importantly, give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over . . . Luke 6:30 As I was finishing this blog up, and looking for an image to put at the top, I wondered what, if any, significance there was to the numbers 2222 and/or 222. Following is an excerpt from biblestudy.org. This website says, among other things, that "The overall meaning of multiple number twos (e.g. 222, 2222, 2:22, and so on) is somewhat unclear in Scripture. They are related, however, to not only the creation of Eve and the first marriage but also to Jesus' return to earth! They additionally reveal how rewards will be distributed upon entering the kingdom of heaven and how we must deal with temptation." The website goes on to say further: Quote: Multiple number twos: "One of Jesus' greatest, yet often misunderstood, use of symbolism is found in Matthew 18. He warns, in verses 8 and 9 of the chapter, that it is better to lose a hand, foot or eye than to have two hands, two feet or two eyes (222) condemn us. Since sin is generated out of thoughts and choices (Matthew 15:18-19), the Lord is not condoning self-mutilation as a way of dealing with sin but rather admonishing us to decisively deal with the temptations that lead to it. Jesus, in Matthew 25's parable of the talents, uses 222 in verse 22 to teach an important lesson about those who enter God's kingdom. And the one who had received two talents also came to him and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents; see, I have gained two other talents besides them' (Matthew 25:22). The man who received two talents doubled his master's money just like the person who got five talents (Matthew 25:16). The Lord rewarded both men equally, showing that he judges and rewards fairly based on what a person does with what he is given (verses 21, 23). Lastly, Jesus uses the example of two men in bed, two women grinding, and two men in a field (222) to warn that many people will be arrested and killed prior to his return to earth (Luke 17:34-36, see also verse 37)." End quote. I have a feeling that this word from God is not yet finished, but I was so excited about how He works in our lives, I could not wait to share it! This is in line with God's words to me: The Millennial Reign, Seventy Years, and others. God truly works in mysterious ways. How does He work in your life? Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen  I did not think to screenshot the "rumbles" on my account until September 8, and by now, the rumbles are up from 2,222 to 2,269, but I wanted to post this screenshot anyway. See next image below from our bank account that shows we spent $222.43 at Wal-Mart on September 6.  And, finally, a screenshot of the email I received the same day, asking for a $222 donation.   "And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing." Isaiah 23:18 Heavenly Father, thank you for your many blessings, too many to count. Thank you for Your Word, and your words through me. Let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus's Mighty Name. Amen.
This morning, as I was reading Judges 9, about how Abimelech, son of Gideon and one of his concubines, killed the seventy other sons of Gideon, and made himself king, God revealed to me that America HAS been under a veil, as I heard prophet Robin Bullock say last year. America, and its people, have been under a veil of blindness for seventy years, from 1952 to 2022. See Isaiah 23:15-18 Here is what happened in 1952, exactly seventy years ago, from onthisday.com:
Queen Elizabeth being included in this list will not now be understood by many, but soon will be understood by all. 1952, seventy years ago, Big Bang theory proposed. It just occurred to me as I was writing that, that I wrote about the Big Bang Theory recently, on July 27, 2022. Click here: God vs. The Big Bang Not this morning, nor since I wrote the July 27 blog, have I even searched for, or seen, anything on the Big Bang Theory; in my mind, the subject was over. But, God will not be denied! In the last few years, I have written at least once that God turned His back on us because we removed Him from our schools in the 60s, among other reasons. As you can see, however, from what happened on April 1, 1952, seventy years ago, the proposal of the Big Bang Theory planted the seed for removing God from our lives completely, not just our schools! "Ivy Mike," the first thermonuclear weapon to utilize the H-bomb design . . . War or Peace. The phrase, There is BIG money in war, has been rattling around in my head lately, and I did not understand the full meaning until a few days ago when God put in my path a 3.5 hour video titled, From JFK to 911: Everything is a rich man's trick. See video on rumble.com by clicking here. Also, I realized as I was rereading this blog, that the last three in the list above were so the elites could control our soul, our mind, and our body. Think about it: body, mind and soul (war, computers and God). Now, I was not going to write this blog when I saw the video. The fact that I even clicked the video to watch it was incredible; my attention span for things such as this is like 10 minutes tops, certainly not 3.5 hours. I watched only about 1.5 hours of the video, and decided I had seen enough. Like I say, if God has a word to be said, it will be said. You can get the gist of the movie by watching just 45 minutes to an hour. So, after watching only 1.5 hours of the video several days ago, and reading chapters and chapters of God's Word since then, God has taken me full circle, back to the video, so I must share it! WAR IS BIG MONEY! And, apparently, war has to be perpetuated for all of eternity, so that the billionaires can remain wealthy. Seventy years ago, "Ivy Mike," a deadly weapon, was created, but as we can see from babyboomers.com below, that was just the beginning of the War Machine in 1952: On this day in 1952, from babyboomers.com:
Yes, a Republican won in 1952: Eisenhower. It seems the prevalence of corruption stemmed from both parties at least as far back as seventy years, although I do not believe that Eisenhower knew exactly what he was getting into when he agreed to run for president. This can be borne out in his subsequent farewell address in January 1961 below. Except from history.com: "In his [Eisenhower's] speech, he spoke of the dangers inherent in what he called the 'military-industrial complex.' Due to the combination of national defense needs with advances in technology, he warned, a partnership between the military establishment and big business threatened to exert an undue influence on the course of the American government. His warnings would go unheeded, however, amid the ongoing tensions of the Cold War era." End quote. Tensions of the Cold War era, which the "military-industrial complex' created! This, of course, proves the crux of the video above, JFK to 911: Everything is a rich man's trick: War is perpetuated to keep the wealthy, wealthy, and the War Machine well-oiled. Those involved in the scheming will do anything at all, including murdering the masses by starting wars, to maintain the status quo, and hide from the world what they have done and are doing. The god of this world did indeed put a veil over America, Americans, and the world, so the light of the glorious gospel of Christ could not shine through. 2 Cor. 4:4. But God, the Father, has heard our cries, and He is removing the veil, so that all can see the Truth, if only for a moment. We can feel the revival in our land. Christians are waking up en masse to the Power of Jesus Christ inside of them. Unbelievers are flocking in droves to hear God's Word and feel His presence. Many will be saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, and many will be cast into outer darkness forever. Isaiah 23 14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste. 15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. 16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered. 17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. 18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing. Her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord. Celebrate! Victory is ours saith the Lord. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.  AMEN!  I found this image amusing after reading parts of our government's (NASA specifically) comical theory on man's creation (see link to article below): The Big Bang, and some make-believe inflationary theory, off of which their entire Big Bang theory rests. I challenge anyone to read the entire article, if you can. This article is representative of the corrupt politicians today: Nonsensical: But this, but that, he said, she said, and if, if, if. Never accepting the obvious: But, God! God sits on his throne and laughs at them. Amen. Heavenly Father, Father of Lights, like the stars in heaven, in whom there is no shadow of turning, like the sun, thank you thank you thank you for our many blessings, too many to count. Thank you for the sun, the moon and the stars. Thank you for the signs and seasons. The rainbow. And, the rain. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. I guess God wants me to talk about His wonders on Earth, because yesterday I posted about His rainbow, and, today, He wants me to post about His constellations. "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also." Genesis 1:16 "[God] which makes Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south." Job 9:9 "Can you bring forth Mazzaroth [possibly, the 12 signs of the Zodiac] in his season? or can you guide Arcturus [the bear constellation] with his sons?" Job 38:32 like God? Can you do any of that? Of course not. Did a big explosion create intelligent design like the constellations? Probably, but just not the way "they" want us to believe. Here is our illustrious government's opinion on our creation, at least the NASA arm of our government: NASA Science: "The Big Bang: (click here for article) One interesting correlation to the Bible I see in the above article is a reference to "deuterium," which apparently is an "isotope of hydrogen." Hydrogen comes from water. What did God create on the fifth day of creation, in the Book of Deuteronomy? Water: the sea, and all sea life. It is almost as if NASA knows it was God who created the heavens, earth and universe, but they do not want to give Him credit. They are blinded by the ruler of this world. I heard Prophet Julie Green say recently that God is getting ready to remove their blinders for a moment, so they can see clearly on which side they stand, good or evil, and make an informed choice. I pray all of God's chosen choose God. Also, another problem with NASA's big bang theory is that it is based entirely, or in large part, on Einstein's theory of relativity, which most scientists now agree is wrong, or at the least, inadequate. Admittedly, I am not learned, or a novice even, in evolution, the big bang theory, or Einstein's theory of relativity, but I am somewhat learned on God and His Word. Even during my darkest days, when I did not know God, and when I denounced Him openly to anyone who would listen, never did I consider evolution or the big bang theory. Why? Because I always knew there was a higher power, a source of all things, and even though I did not specifically call it God, nonetheless I did believe. So, I was lying in bed this morning thinking, as I usually do; this is the time when God often speaks to me, and He did not disappoint this morning. This morning, God said, "If the world was created by mere evolution, or a mere explosion in the universe, then whom, may I ask, created the constellations? Did nature create artwork in the universe? No, I think not. I set the stars in the sky to form the constellations, for signs and seasons, lights on earth, for man, and as an habitation for the angels." God, the Father of Lights, is the creator of the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them. Satan is a liar, and the father of lies. He would love for us to believe that we evolved from fish in the sea, or apes even, or that we magically appeared when some big, unexplained, explosion occurred in the universe. I did not read every word of the above article, but in what I did read, I saw nothing that explained the formation of God's artwork in heaven named the constellations. Coincidence, i.e., the coincidental creation of the constellations? Nope. Coincidences are God-inspired, if you believe in God! Ironically, I do believe there was probably a big explosion that started creation, but it was an explosion of God's Spirit pouring down on earth in Genesis 1. Without God's Spirit, heaven, earth, and all the host of them, including man, are nothing. God is the cohesive force that holds it all together! "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist [reside, live]." Colossians 1:17 Or, the Amplified Version: "And He Himself existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the controlling, cohesive force of the universe.]" Guess what? God's Spirit is pouring down on earth again, right now. Can you feel it? Do you receive it? How can you tell if you feel it or receive it? Well, it makes you want to fight for God. Be a warrior today! Denounce evil! And, as Jesus said, Defeat evil by doing good! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Peace and blessings, Melanie PS. Also, I would like to point out that this subject is not something that has been on my mind, or that I have been studying, or even read about recently in the Bible. It is just something God wanted spoken today. Praise God. Amen. THE 21st CENTURY EXODUS "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." God IS Coming Back! Back to our Schools! Back to our Nation! Back to our Homes! Back to our Hearts! Back to the World! Amen. Can you hear the bells a tolling? Can you hear God? His freedom is ringing, from the rising of the sun, to the going down of the same. I do not claim to know everything about this subject. It is something that God just began to put on my heart this morning, when I started reading the Bible at Exodus 9. First, it is important that we remember that God loves His children, and will never forsake us. We are not supposed to focus on the evil world around us; we are meant to focus instead on God inside of us. God showed me this morning that we are in "The 21st Century Exodus" right now! His Children are being set free, and our oppressors are being condemned. Let's look at the Biblical signs, wonders and plagues of Exodus, and see how they correspond to what is happening today, in the 21st Century. A synopsis of the Biblical plagues and events in Exodus:
Again, I have not researched world or local events thoroughly. I would love to hear of additional examples that others may have seen; I am sure there are many, as the scripture says that many of these plagues will affect man and beast. Rod turns to serpent: The first Biblical test of Pharaoh was the turning of Moses' rod or staff into a serpent: Exodus 7 (rod turns to serpent) 9 "When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. 10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. 11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. 12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods." As I wrote this, it became clear that the rod and the serpent(s) were then, and are now, representative of man's medical feats, some of which were, and are, an abomination unto God. If you will remember, it was a serpent on a rod (pole) that the Israelites were to turn to, to be healed, when bitten by the snakes that were in their camp. Numbers 21:9 Today, in the 21st Century, two serpents on a rod or staff is still the logo or emblem for our modern-day medicine, as shown in the below image:  By having Moses' serpent eat all of the magicians' serpents in Exodus 7:12 above, God was showing them that their medicine, or so-called medicine, was not greater than His Creation. Ancient Jewish history talks about how they were creating hybrids, abominations unto God. Even archaeology has uncovered 1st Century AD mosaics, when Jesus was alive, that show that hybrids may have walked among men. Waters Turn to Blood: Exodus 7:17 (waters turn to blood) "Thus saith the Lord, In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood." February 20, 2021: israel365news.com: SAMARIA: RIVER TURNS ‘BLOOD’ RED AS ARABS BRING ‘PLAGUE OF EGYPT’ UPON THEMSELVES The next Biblical plague: frogs: Exodus 8:5 (frogs) "And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt." April 14, 2021: sciencetimes.com Tropical Clawed Frogs Invade Southern Florida: Could Potentially Spread Diseases on Native Amphibians The next plague, lice: Exodus 8 (lice) 16 "And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt."

Next, flies: Exodus 8:24 (flies) "And the Lord did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies." May 3, 2022: nbcchicago.com: "Unusually Large" Swarm of Gnats Arrive in Chicago for Spring 2022 Excerpt: Social media has erupted in recent days with people noticing the influx of the bugs known as "chironomid midges," or "non-biting flies." Next: Cattle, Horses, Camels Die The next Biblical plague is Exodus 9:6 (cattle die) "And the Lord did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one." 2021 to 2022: (usanews.com: June 16, 2022) 10,000 Cattle Die but Not From ‘Heat and Humidity’ . . . Excerpts: "Chaos in food supply chains continues to worsen as thousands of cattle across Kansas have mysteriously died. Officially, at least 2,000 cattle died of “extreme heat and humidity” amid triple-digit temperatures . . ." "The high-end of estimates comes from Progressive Farmer Senior Editor Victoria Myers, who reports preliminary estimates from feedlot or feed yards that show 10,000 fat cattle across the state have died because of scorching hot weather." The article goes on to say that hot temperatures likely had nothing to do with the cattle deaths in Kansas, because Texas has more cattle than Kansas, and has been hotter than Kansas, and has not experienced mass cattle deaths. See image below of excerpt from the same article:  Note: usanews.com is not a "go-to" news source for me; I am not sure that I have any go-to sources, except for God's Word. I used the usanews.com article today because it had a list of the things happening to our food supply, and the comparison of Kansas cattle deaths to Texas cattle deaths.
Also note that Exodus 9:3 tells us that it was not only cattle that died: "Behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain." April 26, 2022: Horses: cbsnews.com: Wild Horses in Colorado Dying at an Alarming Rate: 'More Horses Could Die' Excerpt: At latest count Tuesday, 67 horses had died since the start of the weekend from a mysterious illness causing apparent respiratory and neurological effects.

I just picked horses and camels, and, right away, found the two things posted herein. Again, let us know if you find other examples. Moving on to the next Biblical plague to affect Pharaoh and the Egyptians, which was boils. Exodus 9 (boils) 8 "And the Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. 9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt." May 11, 2022: businessinsider.com: UK confirms case of monkeypox, which causes boils and full-body rashes So, we can see that we are up to at least boils in our 21st Exodus analogy, comparison, God-inspired word. The next Biblical plague: Hail: Exodus 9:18 (hail) "Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now." July 5, 2022: news.yahoo.com Large hail threatens parts of the Prairies with thunderstorm risk this week Now, I do not believe that we have yet seen God's "very grievous hail, such as has not been . . ." Exodus 9:18 above, but we will, this year 2022, according to His prophets. There will be great destruction, because, again, only through death can we be reborn, and His Chosen who trust in Him, and listen to Him, will be saved. Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Next: Locusts: Exodus 10:12 (locusts): "And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.." Next: Darkness for Three Days Exodus 10:21 (darkness): "And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt." Finally, Death of the Firstborn: Exodus 11:5 (death) "And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts." Separating the wheat from the chaff: And, all of these things will happen because God is separating the wheat from the chaff, and the chaff will blow away in the wind or burn with unquenchable fire. Exodus 11 (separating the wheat from the chaff) 6 "There shall be a great cry [of heartache and sorrow] throughout the land of Egypt, such as has never been before and such as shall never be again. 7 But not even a dog will threaten any of the Israelites, whether man or animal, so that you may know [without any doubt] and acknowledge how the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.’" So, in conclusion, MAKE GOD GREAT AGAIN! Endowed by their Creator with an unalienable right to Life One Nation under God With liberty (freedom) and justice for all! God IS (Coming) Back! Back to our Schools! Back to our Nation! Back to our Homes! Back to our Hearts! Back to the World! Praise God. Amen. "From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, the Lord's name is to be praised." Psalm 113:3  "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12 As I have said before, these are not just words. God's word is powerful! Jesus Christ gave us that power, and everyone has a right to know God's power. Reading God's word is how He talks to us; praying is how we talk to Him. So, hear from Him, and talk to Him, today:
He promises to show us great and mighty things, which we do not know. Jeremiah 33:3 Fear is a lie, and Satan is the father of lies, the great deceiver, the one who caused the whole world to sin. Satan is powerLESS, however, against believers in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Did you know that when you pray, worship and/or praise God, Satan must flee from you? Satan has NO power over us . . . unless we let him. Therefore, he is subtil, elusive: “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made”? Gen. 3:1 “subtil” (subtle): elusive, cunning, crafty. “cunning”: characterized by wiliness and trickery. “wily” (wiles): a trick or stratagem intended to ensnare or deceive. “crafty”: adept in the use of subtlety and cunning. “elusive”: tending to evade grasp or pursuit. This is Satan's modus operandi, or mode of operation, and he will take a lifetime to deceive if he must. Man, however, has God's spirit (Gen. 1), and is not so easily deceived. It may take Satan a man's lifetime to groom that man subtly, with quirks, illnesses, dislikes, or hates, which will ultimately, one day, keep him from freely serving God. The Good News is that through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, fear has no hold on believers. Satan must flee! Our Savior gave us His power, and even greater works shall believers do: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” John 14:12 "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." Luke 10:19 He even gave us the power to move mountains: “And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Matthew 17:20 Not only move mountains, but control the wind, the rain, and other elements around us, just as He did when He calmed the raging ocean and winds; and, He walked on water, and even made Peter to walk on water momentarily, until Peter became fearful and lost his faith. Fear is a lie. Jesus is the way, the Truth and the life. Have you ever personally tried to control the elements? Make it rain, for instance? How did it go? I challenge everyone to give it a try. Raise your hands in the air, and out loud, give all glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving to Father God, the Father of Lights, in whom there is no shadow of turning, and then command it to rain, rain, rain, in Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen. It only takes God one day to move His hand. I heard a prophet say recently that God said 2022 is the year when He will invade our personal space. If you are feeling down or persecuted, raise your hands in the air and give all glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving to the One True God, and He will come down right where you are standing and fill you with His presence, spirit, light and love. Try it some time when you need a pick-me-up, or try it all the time so you never again need a pick-me-up! God is great, all the time! Watch and Pray Jesus said, “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:36 God is real, and He sits on his throne and laughs at them. HA HA HA HA HA. God will not be mocked, but man will reap what he has sown. "For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." Romans 14:11 So, "Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you." 2 Cor. 13:11 Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen.  Heavenly Father, thank you for shining Your Light and exposing the darkness, and thank you for reassuring me for the last few years that you were doing just that! Let Your words always be mine, and let Your children hear them. Amen. Have you noticed that the sun seems to be really, really, I mean, really bright, for this time of year, winter and early spring? Well, that is because it is. Now, I have done no investigation or research into this, absolutely zero, except for seeing a video from a trusted source that showed the estimated UV for February is around 5.0, and the actual UV reading for that day in February 2022 was 9.45, which is a summer UV reading. I cannot post the video I saw, because the poster has made it 'private,' but, honestly, I do not need a UV meter to know that the sun is brighter this year! God is great - All the time! Here is where I am going with this: One of the first things God began putting on my heart a few years ago, around 2019, is that He is "shining His Light and exposing the darkness." Now, I had accounts on social(ism) media at the time I received these words, and even though I had no idea the words came from God at that time, I posted them anywhere and everywhere I possibly could for two years. Just one sentence, really: God is shining His Light and exposing the darkness, or some form of that phrase. Considering now how we can see the spiritual awakening that is happening to His children around us, the bright sun this year, His Light is literally exposing the darkness, little by little, in God's time. Soon, there will be a landslide 'awakening' on every front: political corruption, spiritual, human rights, including, most importantly abortion, which will be abolished. Though they will try with every ounce of their being, 'they' will be unable to contain the awakening! The following declaration is something else that God put on my heart after the fraudulent 2020 election: Trump Won! (God Won!) Roe v. Wade will be overturned! Abortion will be abolished! Right now even, we see the Supreme Court of the United States determining whether or not Roe v. Wade will be overturned!! Praise God. Amen. Amen. Amen. It is now time for all things to take place which God has shared with so many over the last few years. He is indeed shining His Light and exposing the darkness. There is a great Spiritual War, Spiritual Awakening, Spiritual Revolution and Spiritual Revival taking place right before our eyes. God is pouring out His Spirit into His children around the world, shaking them, and awakening them! Hallelujah! Amen. Now is the time for God's reckoning, and His great harvest of both blessings for His Chosen, and curses for the wicked. Even so, 'do not rejoice when your enemies fall. . .' Proverbs 24:17. But, instead, pray that your family and friends, and God's children everywhere, have the blood of Jesus Christ protecting the lintel of their doors, as the Biblical Passover is at hand. God's truth and justice will prevail. Make sure your spiritual house is in order by reading His Word, meditating on it, and praying for guidance and understanding. Pray for His Will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Pray for all things hidden to be revealed. Most importantly, pray without ceasing. Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus! Amen.  These are not just words. God's Word is alive, active and powerful. So what, then, does it mean?
It means, if you want the faith that comes from hearing God, then Read the Bible, because once you hear God, then you understand faith. Amen. APOPHIS (which translated means "hell") "So they will fear the name of the Lord from the west And His glory from the rising of the sun. For He will come in like a narrow, rushing stream Which the breath of the Lord drives [overwhelming the enemy]." Isaiah 59:19 Heavenly Father, thank you for Your many blessings. Thank you for Your Word, and Your words through me. Let them always be Your words and not my own, and let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus' name. Amen. First, I do not know why God picked me for these words, but I thank Him for it. I was certainly the least in Spirit my entire life, almost 62 years. See my Testimony to God's Power here. He will always lead you to do the right thing though. Hallelujah. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. This is an amazing time we are in. He is freely pouring out His gifts and talents to His children. I heard something like, 10 years ago, there were 10 prophets. Today, there are literally over ten thousand, and His Word confirms this will happen. Acts 2:17 There is so much going on around us in the world right now though. Prophets have been saying that God's plan is getting ready to be revealed to everyone, the corruption is being abolished, and God's people are being bandaged, healed and revived. Also, see my blog titled, "The Narrow Gate" for more about God's Spiritual War. So, the night of January 25, 2022, in my sleep, I received the words "2,000 years," and just a feeling, or a sense of knowing, that it was about Jesus Christ's Millennial Reign. I first posted this blog on January 27, 2022. It was posted for about a week before I took it down, because I realized that God was still forming His word in me about the subject, and that I was hasty in my conclusions and in posting the blog before God was finished. Forgive me, Father. So, what did God’s word to me, “2,000 years” and the Millennial Reign of Christ mean? I now know it to mean that 2,000 years after the death of Jesus Christ, or on or around the year 2033, He will return to finish bandaging, healing and reviving us, and we will reign with Him for 1,000 years. Remember, no one knows the exact date of His return, not the angels or the son, and I do not claim to know the exact date. Matthew 24:36. Now hear me out. Let’s look at some other Scripture God showed me that points us to the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ being 2,000 years after His death: Luke 10:25-37, the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Let’s look at this parable from a different angle than typically recited. In this interpretation, the ‘injured man’ is mankind. The priest and the Levite represent the Law, which was condemnation to sin and death, and the ‘Good Samaritan’ is Jesus Christ who will bandage, heal, revive and raise us up. Hosea 6:1-3 In this parable, the Good Samaritan (Jesus Christ) bandages and heals the injured man, and takes him to the Inn. The Inn represents the church. The Good Samaritan (Jesus) gives the innkeeper (the church leader) ‘two pence’ and says, I will repay you when I return, and whatever more you spend. If we consider that a day is a thousand years to God, and a thousand years a day, as written in 2 Peter 3:8, then Jesus is saying that He has paid amply for our safekeeping until His return, one pence per each one thousand years, or 2,000 years after His death, on or around the year 2,033. Moving on, let’s look at the six days of creation in the book of Genesis for our next scriptural interpretation. Genesis 1:1-31, 2:1-3 God created everything in six days, and He saw that it was very good, so He rested from all His work, and sanctified the seventh day, or made it Holy, free of sin and guilt. Consider, again, that a day is a thousand years to God, and a thousand years a day, and the creation story took place in six days, or 6,000 years. God has not forsaken us; before the world began, His plan was for man to have eternal life. Titus 1:2. From the time He created us on the six thousandth year (sixth day) of creation, He gave His promise of salvation (His Son), who will rule with His Chosen for 1,000 years, from the six thousandth year (after man's creation), until the seven thousandth year, the sanctified and Holy day, when we will return to God forever. Note that 6,000 years after man's creation also happens to be 2,000 years after Jesus' resurrection, which coincides with the Parable of the Good Samaritan interpretation above. To further validate God's word to me regarding this interpretation of Scripture, let us look at a calendar from the creation of man, roughly 4,004 BC, until today, 2022 AD. These dates are only rough estimates, because, again, no one knows the exact date of His return:  From the creation of man around roughly 4,004 BC, to today, February 8, 2022, is 6,025 years. Six thousand years since the creation of man, and the time when Jesus will rule with us for 1,000 years. Roughly, 1,000 before the coming of the New Heavens and New Earth, the sanctified, Holy Day, made free of sin and guilt, the seventh day, or seven thousandth year, when all former things will pass. Hosea 6:1-3 further tells us approximately where we are in God’s timeline: 1 “Come and let us return [in repentance] to the Lord, For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us. 2 After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up That we may live before Him. 3 So let us know and become personally acquainted with Him; let us press on to know and understand fully the [greatness of the] Lord [to honor, heed, and deeply cherish Him]. His appearing is prepared and is as certain as the dawn, And He will come to us [in salvation] like the [heavy] rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth.” Amen. So, from the time of our creation, roughly 6,000 years ago, He has wounded and torn us, and bandaged and healed us. Hosea 6:1. What proof, you say? Well, think about it, from the dark ages (approximately 400 AD to 800 AD); to the wild, wild west (1800s to 1900s); the emancipation of black people in 1863; women’s rights, late 1800s to early 1900s; 1917, when Jerusalem was liberated; 1948, when Israel was established as a State; then, in the 1900s, of course, everything exploded in medicine, manufacturing, technology and science. Even so, I think it is fair to say that a significant number of people, even some of God's people, 'believers,' feel torn and wounded right about now. If you are still feeling that way, have you returned in repentance [turned away from sin] to the Lord, brought into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ, so He will heal, bandage and revive you? Do we have faith in the unseen, the invisible, or are we like Doubting Thomas, who had to touch Jesus' wounds to believe? John 20:24-31 Now, after two days, or 2,000 years after Christ’s death, or roughly the year 2033, He will revive us, to rule with Christ in His Millennial Reign. Hosea 6:2. On the third day, or roughly 3,000 years after Christ’s death, around 3,033, He will raise us up that we may live before Him forever, in the New Heaven and New Earth, and all former things will pass away. Hosea 6:3 Still not enough proof? I saw a video (see video below) a year or two ago that kind of shook me about an asteroid called 'Apophis.' Even though I put it to the back of my mind, it has always been in the back of my mind, and now I know why God showed it to me. The following video is not the original video I saw, but is basically the same content or idea. In the original video, they said that the people who found the asteroid and named it 'Apophis,' which translated means 'Hell' - You can't make this stuff up - had reported that it was going to hit earth in 2029. Then, they said that after NASA got ahold of the information, suddenly it was no longer going to hit earth, but would 'narrowly miss' us. Hallelujah. Praise God. Amen. The following video says that it will pass earth twice, 2029 and .... seven years later, 2036. It may surprise many people to know that nowhere in God's Word does He ever tell His chosen to stand there and let the rocks fall on their heads. To the contrary. Praise Emmanuel, God is With Us, always protecting us, but He is with us, protecting us, as believers, through the Holy Spirit, feeding us His word for the times, His Plan, His timeline even, either directly or through His prophets. This is how He communicates with us: Through the Holy Spirit inside us, if we are listening, or through His prophets. Not through the fake news or social(ism) media. Wake up before it is too late! ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit.' [the Holy Spirit] Zechariah 4:6 For those who obey Him, those who repent (turn away from sin), which means reading His Word and praying, loving, doing, being ... the light of the world (or, at least earnestly trying - God knows our hearts). He never allows us to be tempted more than we can withstand. 1 Corinthians 10:12-14. And He will not start now. In the Bible, the standard or flag is raised to direct the people in difficult times. I read something some time ago that said the standard was raised for only a couple of reasons: To tell the people to prepare for war; or, to tell them to take shelter (there may be a third reason). Jeremiah 4:6, 4:21. The standard is also referred to in Isaiah and Numbers. "So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him." Isaiah 59:19 (KJV) Remember, He is not coming to bring peace, but a sword of division between righteous and unrighteous. We must be prepared by wearing the Full Armor of God, so we can withstand the wiles of the devil Ephesians 6:11-24. Sometimes I feel like a broken record, but I guess God wants me to be a broken record. Praise God. Amen. In order to withstand, we must also follow the standard, or flag, God is placing in our lives. The only way we can do this is by listening, to His prophets, and to Him, by inviting the Holy Spirit into our lives, and surrendering to God. He has been preparing His chosen, the believers, for the times to come, and we know people turn to God the most in despair. "The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles." Psalm 34:17 How can we ascend unless we first descend? How can we be 'born again' unless we first die? How can we be revived unless we are first torn down and wounded? Hosea 6:1 And, if we return to Him in repentance [turning away from sin], He will heal and bandage us. Hosea 6:1. And, on the second day, revive us. Hosea 6:2. And, we will be held blameless in a crooked and perverse generation. Philippians 2:15. And, nothing shall by any means hurt us. Luke 10:19 Now, I realize this is crazy talk, but it cannot be any crazier than the rest of this blog. I saw a video last year about a time traveler who said the world ends in 3036. See a short movie made by the Nostradamus brothers: Confessions of a Time Traveler, the Man from 3036. If this link does not work, you may be able to find it on freemoviesfull.com or 123movies.net. So, following God's Word to me, "2,000 years," after two days, or roughly 2,000 years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, or around or about the year 2,033, He will revive us to reign with Him for 1,000 years, and then on the third day, or roughly 3,000 years after His death, He will raise us up incorruptible and immortal that we may live before Him forever. "So they will fear the name of the Lord from the west And His glory from the rising of the sun. For He will come in like a narrow, rushing stream Which the breath [Spirit] of the Lord drives [overwhelming the enemy]." Isaiah 59:19 "For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming [in glory] of the Son of Man [everyone will see Him clearly]." Matthew 24:27 The above video says that only approximately 2 billion people in the world will be able to see the coming of Apophis. There are about 2.5 billion Christians in the world. Is that plus or minus one-half billion that do not wake up in time for that event, the ‘beginning of the birth pangs’? Matthew 24:8 Let me end this blog where I started, with Hosea 6, specifically v's. 1 and 3: 1 “Come and let us return [in repentance] to the Lord, For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us. 3 So let us know and become personally acquainted with Him; let us press on to know and understand fully the [greatness of the] Lord [to honor, heed, and deeply cherish Him]. His appearing is prepared and is as certain as the dawn, And He will come to us [in salvation] like the [heavy] rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth.” Amen. Make sure your spiritual house is in order. We are here at this very time for God's purpose: “And your people will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up and restore the age-old foundations [of buildings that have been laid waste]; You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings." Isaiah 58:12 We will be called the 'Repairers of the Breach' and 'Restorers of Streets with Dwellings,' in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. He is not coming to bring peace. He coming to bring a sword of division between the righteous and unrighteous. Amen. God Bless You! Click this link for audio and read-along video of this blog, "LOCUST," on Brighteon.com. (This video BANNED from youtube.)  2018 Fires on West Coast in United States of America. Notice the grass, green things and trees remain relatively "unhurt." "And it was commanded them [locusts] that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads." Most people, including me, do not spend a lot of time thinking about the end times. I mean, if you already follow God with all of your heart, mind and soul, then you probably will not do much differently in the end times anyway. If, however, you have been paying attention to the weather around the world for the last month or two, or few years even, oh my: volcanoes, blizzards, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, giant hail, locusts ... it's kind of hard not to think about the end times, at least once in a while. Ever since reading about locusts in Revelation 9:3 (above), I have wondered what kind of locusts would kill men, but not grass, green things, or trees? This morning, a light bulb went off. I call them epiphanies or revelations from God, but, a light bulb went off, and I wondered if there was a laser technology named locust? Guess what? There is!!! As I have said before, 2020 was the year of "What the Literal Heck," but 2021 is clearly the year of "You Can't Make This Stuff Up." Here is a link to an article from PRNewsWire.com about the laser weapon named LOCUST. I am just going to throw this out here, without giving too many specifics. Please, read my blog titled, "Algorithm is Not Man's Rhythm," here, for information about "little birds" listening. But, I am reminded of a certain western state in 2018, which had strange fires that burned only the houses and not the grass or trees around the houses (see image above). I mean, even a layperson like me thought at the time, it seemed like lasers. Those fires killed 85 people, but not the grass, green things or trees! Are you paying attention yet? Let us see what other indicators there may be for the end times. “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.” Matthew 24:22 Did you know that for the first time ever, the earth is spinning faster, and a day is actually shorter than 24 hours? Here's a link to the article from IndiaToday.in about the earth spinning faster, and a day being shorter than 24 hours. What else could point to this being the end times? Well ... Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:” Revelation 6:12 "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;" You may or may not have heard about a proposed theory being discussed to "dim the sun" to reduce or delay the effects of climate change. Who is at the center of this controversial scheme? None other than Mr. Population Control himself, Bill Gates. From an article in interestingengineering.com (see link below), "Bill Gates is a man who recently suggested the world should eat 100% synthetic beef, has argued that bitcoin is bad for the planet, co-founded Microsoft, and remains one of the richest people in the world. He is also very interested in dimming the light from the sun to reduce or delay the effects of climate change, according to a forthcoming study from the Bill Gates-backed Harvard University Solar Geoengineering Research Program — which aims to evaluate the efficacy of blocking sunlight from reaching our planet's surface." Here is a link to the article from InterestingEngineering.com about attempting to "dim the sun." Matthew 24:29 and Revelation 6:12 (above) could be referring to this elaborate plan to dim the sun, or they could be referring to ash and smoke from volcanoes darkening the sun, which is also brewing right now, around the world. Last week, there were over 52 ACTIVE volcanoes around the world. The number is down to the 30s this week, but between earthquakes and volcanoes, meteorologists, geologists and volcanologists are still expecting something big, and 2021 is on track to become a record-breaking year of major earthquakes and volcanoes. Here is a link to the article from Israel365News.com about 2021 record-breaking earthquakes and volcanoes. And, finally, I am sure I could go into a lot of detail on this one, and maybe that is for a future blog, but I would be remiss in discussing the end times if I failed to mention the coronavirus. “And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.” Revelation 6:2 A crown: "The mystery has been solved at last. Corona's origin has been discovered, in an etymological sense at least. It's right there in Exodus 34:29 -- When Moses descended from the mountain, he "did not know that the skin of his face had become radiant -- כי קרן עור פניו..." Moses did not know that his face was CoRaN, radiating light. It spread quickly to verse 30 and 35. Three incidents! This ancient Biblical Hebrew root is undoubtedly the source of the Latin word "corona," which eventually became "crown" in English. QaRaN can also mean horn, and is the likely origin of a host of other English words like cornice, corner, cornucopia, cranium, cornea, and unicorn." Here is a link to the article from Israel365News.com quoted above about the word "crown" in the Torah (Jewish Bible). In addition, it is a fact that, under a microscope, the coronavirus resembles a crown, scarlet or purple and gold (see images above). “And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:” Revelation 17:4 "And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven." Luke 21:11 At the risk of going off the proverbial "deep end," the sky has been abundant with UFO sightings, in plain sight, spaceships that look like clouds, stealth in the clouds, or actually, THE clouds. Check out MrMBB333 on youtube for seemingly credible videos of many of these sightings: MrMBB333 on youtube. The Bible clearly says that Jesus will come with the clouds: “Behold, he comes with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.” Revelation 1:7 I am not saying that clouds that look like stealth spaceships are Jesus, and God's Word actually tells us not to go chasing sightings of Jesus. When he comes, everyone will know. But, I am presenting events talked about in the Bible, and that are happening in real time, right before our eyes, today, in 2021. Hallelujah! Praise God for choosing us to be here during this Biblical time in His Plan! Do I believe we are in the end times? It is possible and even likely, but the bigger question is, Will the end be NOW? I do not believe that the end is now, not from what God has put on my heart in the last year, and which I have shared in previous blogs, specifically the story of Josiah in "Algorithm is Not Man's Rhythm," nor from what He has told great prophets in recent months and years. “But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Matthew 24:36 God is very specific about how His children can know what to do every day, every step of the way, in their short lives on earth, including the end times. How you ask? The answer is PRAYER! The Bible says to "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." Philippians 4:6 And, that by so doing: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened." Matthew 7:7-8 And, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which you know not.” Jeremiah 33:3 I don't know about you, but I would welcome seeing some "great and mighty things" that I knew not, right about now, or anytime. In James 4:12-15, we learn the following about how to live our daily lives: 12 "There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judges another? 13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away. 15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that." Pray earnestly to God, and ask for direction in your life, not just about the "big" stuff, but about everything, every day. Talk to God. Do you need prosperity and abundance? Turn your life over to Jesus Christ, and pray for what you need. God will not fail us if we are sincere in our repentance, or turning away from sin. So, while most people, including myself, do not spend a lot of time thinking about the end times, because, I mean, if you already follow God with all of your heart, mind and soul, then you probably will not do things much differently anyway. Also, when you "know God," you know you know God. I pray everyone knows Him to day, "whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow." Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen! |
