​MY WALK WITH GOD


​

​

​"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide
you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come."
John 16:13

ENTITLED

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.

FORNICATION IS A SIN

3/1/2023

SIN NO MORE

Picture
"All unrighteousness is sin..." 1 John 5:17
Heavenly Father, thank you for Your many blessings in our lives. Thank You for Your Word, Your Spirit and Your Son. Bless your children. Bless the world. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.
 
God has shown me that there is a time coming soon when people en masse around the world will be crying out, LIARS, LIARS, LIARS, at the fake news. There will be
great celebrations, and weeping and gnashing of teeth. He has shown me that, It Is Happening, now. What is "It"? God’s Will, His Plan. His timeline in this event of His Plan. He is shining His Light, shaking the earth, waking up His children, and exposing the darkness.

Isaiah 42:16 "And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them."
 
God is waking up the lost, and the believers, with a Spiritual Revival, and that Spiritual Revival is inside me, and each and every one of you.
 
We are the Light of God. He is the head, and we are the body; the head tells the body what to do, and the body does it. God gives us good things, so that we are free to serve Him, serve His lost, needy and weary children, all to His great Glory.
 
Sometime around January 2021 God put heavy on my heart a lack of concern by Christians, and especially "holy people," regarding fornication, also known as premarital sex, or sex between two people who are not married.
 
Apostle Paul preached in Corinth, where they were well-known for having many prostitutes, and the people worshipped false gods. Some of the people of Corinth were Christians, who thought these things were acceptable, and practiced them freely. Apostle Paul tells them, and us, at 1 Corinthians 3,
 
16 “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
 
17 “If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”
 
Our bodies are holy, sanctified, made free of guilt and sin through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and we ought not to defile them with sexual immorality. Amen?
 
In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul tells them to “Flee fornication:”

verse 18 "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body."
 
So, Flee fornication. Run don’t walk. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Amen?
 
More importantly, “he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body." We already read in 1 Corinthians 3:16 that our body is not our own; our body is the temple of God, who indwells inside of us, so when we commit fornication, we are sinning against God’s temple. If we strive for God’s blessings, then we need to remember His curses as well.
 
At 1 Corinthians 7, Paul goes on further to press his point about fornication, or sex outside of marriage. 1 Corinthians 7:8-9.

verse 8 "I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn."
 
I have read before that the “burn” Apostle Paul is referring to here is a “burning passion,” which I never really understood, because it is not consistent with the remainder of God’s Word, which clearly says that fornication is a sin:
 
1 Corinthians 6
 
12 “Everything is permissible for me, but not all things are beneficial. Everything is permissible for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything [and brought under its power, allowing it to control me].”
 
Everything is permissible for me. In other words, I have free will. But even if I can do it, should I? Does it benefit me, other than immediate gratification? We have become a society, a world, of instant gratification, have we not? I have free will, but I will not let it enslave or control me; I will let God’s Will and God’s power control me. Amen!
 
Continuing with 1 Corinthians 6:13 “Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food, but God will do away with both of them. The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body [to save, sanctify, and raise it again because of the sacrifice of the cross].” Amen.
 
There are many informative commentaries and opinions on what this scripture means. I’m going to quote an excerpt from biblehub.com, from the commentary by Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges:
 
Quote: Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats.] Meat is a necessity for our present undeveloped life; in the world where hunger and thirst will be no more it will no longer be so. And therefore both it, and the organs formed to digest food will be no longer wanted.

Continuing with the Quote: Now the body is not for fornication] St Paul is led, by the importance he attaches to this point, to treat it first. The abominable licentiousness, or sexually unrestrained acts, of heathen cities in general, and of Corinth in particular had led to a general conviction that the body was for fornication. St Paul contradicts this, and most emphatically proclaims that fornication is distinctly in itself an unlawful act, contrary to the laws laid down by God for man, and calculated to deprive men of the blessings of the Resurrection.” End Quote.


Let me just repeat that part: “Fornication is distinctly in itself an unlawful act, calculated to deprive men of the blessings of the Resurrection.” Ouch!
 
But our God is good and merciful, and just to forgive if we ask and turn our hearts over to Him. He wants ALL men (and women) to return to Him and be healed, and receive eternal Life. Amen? He is giving us time, and making it really easy for us to see the evil around us, and to listen to Him, hear Him, obey Him, and choose Him, God, the Father, and His only begotten son, Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.


In Romans 1, Paul also preached God's Word to the Romans, about why terrible things came upon them:

Romans 1

25 "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. [or just]

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate [morally unprincipled] mind, to do those things which are not convenient;”
 
That is a lot of powerful words right there, words that are alive: Retain God in our knowledge, obey God, or be turned over to a morally unprincipled mind.
 
Recently, I came to an important realization. What sets Christians apart from the world is not that we love everyone, and God’s Light shines through us. Yes, that is wonderful and true. But, no, what sets us apart is the “morally principled mind” that is instilled in us from God’s Word.
 
Morals, a moral compass, knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is something that many of us take for granted, and just assume all people have, or most people; I know I did until recently, while chatting with someone online, in the comment section of an online video, they asked me what gave me the right to say that abortion is wrong?
 
I replied, Common sense; morals: knowing the difference between right and wrong, the Bible gives me my rights, the death and resurrection of God’s only begotten son, Jesus Christ, gives me my rights.
 
And, the other person responded with, Morals are a matter of perspective!
 
Morals are a matter of perspective! And, THIS is what we are seeing playing out around us. You know, I read an article some time ago that said that only 13% of children today know who God is compared to 58% sixty years ago when they removed Him from our schools.
 
Thirteen percent of our children are being raised with morals, knowing right from wrong. The line is drawn between right and wrong, good and evil, God and Satan. Choose God because God wins, and He is coming back to the world, back to our nation, back to our schools, and back to our hearts. Amen.
 
How He is coming back is through shakings, signs and wonders and smoking vapor happening all around us, but also, He is coming back through us, through His Children, His Warriors standing up and speaking out, proclaiming God is the Father and Jesus Christ is our king of Kings and Lord of Lords. It is time to speak out about these hard truths, because the time for the lukewarm Christian has passed. We can no longer be complacent. It is time to awaken from our sleep of spiritual complacency.
 
Deuteronomy 23. So, fornication is a sin, and with sin comes death, but also curses. God said in Deuteronomy 23:2 "A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord."


The definition of a “bastard” is a person born to parents not married to each other, or through fornication. Again, these are not just words. I mean, God gave us marriage so we could avoid fornication, so we could avoid sinning against our own bodies, defiling His temple, and also avoid cursing our own future generations to come.


At 1 John 1, God gave us the Good News about sin, about being forgiven: 1 John 1 verse 9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” This includes fornication, and bastards. If we repent and pray for forgiveness, God will not forsake us. Hallelujah. Amen.

In Luke 13, Jesus tells them explicitly that confessing our sins does not mean we continue to willfully sin. Jesus says at Luke 13:3 "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." 


I emphasize these concepts mostly because they were difficult concepts for me, so I assume others may struggle with them as well. It took me a while to understand that to “repent” and to ask for forgiveness are two entirely different things. To repent is to "turn away from.” In other words, to sin NO MORE. To live our lives as our forefathers, the apostles, Jesus Christ himself did, righteously, in obedience to and with all glory and praise to God, the Father. Amen.

In contrast, asking God for forgiveness is telling Him that we know we have sinned, and asking for forgiveness of those sins.
 
And, so, we put the two together, repentance, turning away from sin and turning to God, in obedience, changing our hearts and showing by the way we live that we have changed, and, also, confessing to God the sins of our lives, and asking Him for forgiveness of those sins. And, most importantly, trying with everything humanly possible inside of us not to commit the same sins again tomorrow. Amen? Amen.


At John 5:8, Jesus literally said, Sin No More.
 
He didn’t say, “Hey man, you’re forgiven forever, no matter what you do. No problem, keep on sinning.” Nope. He said, Sin No More!
 
John 5:14 "Afterward Jesus finds him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, you are made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall you." 
 
Hmm. Sin no more lest a worse thing befall you. That is so sad, because people cannot understand what is going on in their lives. Sin no more lest a worse thing befall you. These are not just words. God provides blessings and curses. Amen.
 
And, in John 8:11 “She answered, ‘No one, Lord!’ And Jesus said, ‘I do not condemn you either. Go. From now on sin no more.’”
 
God does not let things happen. Adam and Eve made this choice for us, and now we have a choice to choose God or satan, good or evil. Amen?

Jesus gave many examples of people who claimed to be righteous. Luke 13 is one such instance, from the Amplified Bible 
 
1 “Just at that time some people came who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate [the governor] had mixed with their sacrifices.

2 Jesus replied to them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans because they have suffered in this way? 

3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways and live changed lives], you will all likewise perish. 

4 Or do you assume that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed were worse sinners than all the others who live in Jerusalem? 

5 I tell you, no; but unless you repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways and live changed lives], you will all likewise perish.”

Now, some Historians note that the Galileans in verse 1 were probably at the Temple offering sacrifices, when Roman Governor Pilate’s soldiers came through and killed them all at the sacrificial altars, and mingled their blood with the slain lambs’ blood at the altars. Pilate wanted more money from the Temple treasury, but the Jews refused, so Pilate sent men dressed as citizens, and armed with daggers, into the crowds, demanding money, and killing whomever resisted.
 
The Jews who were reporting this to Jesus in verse 1 were implying that they were better than the Galileans because they did not die like that.
 
Notice that Jesus, in His response to them, repeats verse 3 at verse 5, showing a sense of urgency: "I tell you, no; but unless you repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways and live changed lives], you will all likewise perish.” 

Jesus’ answer shows that the Jews who told Him about the Galileans believed that God had permitted them to be killed due to their sins. Jesus was letting them know, in no uncertain terms, that those who died were not necessarily greater sinners, but rather the Jews should themselves repent, turn away from sin, and turn to God, and that if they did not repent, they would all perish as well.
 
Continuing with Luke 13:6, The Parable of the Fig Tree:

6 “Then He began telling them this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree that had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it, but did not find any;

7 so he said to the vineyard-keeper, ‘For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and have found none. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground [depleting the soil and blocking the sunlight]?’

8 But he replied to him, ‘Let it alone, sir, [just] one more year until I dig around it and put in fertilizer;

9 and if it bears fruit after this, fine; but if not, cut it down.’”


There are a lot of commentaries and opinions about whom the fig tree and the vineyard represent in Luke 13:6, so let’s focus on what we do know from the parable.
 
It seems as though it is not as important whom the fig tree and the vineyard represent, as it is what God expects from them: In Luke 13:7, God is looking for fruit on the trees. Surely, He will do the same with His vineyard. He has given us a season to change our lives (repent), before the trees that do not produce fruit are cut down. We can see this happening around the world now; the Harvest Has Begun.
 
But, now, let’s look at Romans 14, to see what kind of fruit God is looking for on His trees and vines:
 
Romans 14 from the Amplified Bible


6 “He will pay back to each person according to his deeds [justly, as his deeds deserve]: 

7 to those who by persistence in doing good seek [unseen but certain heavenly] glory, honor, and immortality, [He will give the gift of] eternal life.

8 But for those who are selfishly ambitious and self-seeking and disobedient to the truth but responsive to wickedness, [there will be] wrath and indignation.

9 There will be tribulation and anguish [torturing confinement] for every human soul who does [or permits] evil, to the Jew first and also to the Greek [or Gentiles],

10 but glory and honor and inner peace [will be given] to everyone who habitually does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek [Gentiles].

11 For God shows no partiality [no arbitrary favoritism; with Him one person is not more important than another]."
 
So, we can see that those who seek to do good, and sow seeds of righteousness, will receive eternal life, but those who are responsive to wickedness will be subjected to tribulation and anguish. Jesus is not coming back to bring peace; He is coming to bring a sword of division.


I quote this next scripture a lot because I think it says a lot. Jesus tells us many times how to avoid the tribulation and anguish described to come for those who sow wickedness.
 
Matthew 3 from the Amplified Bible, verse 8 "Change your hearts! [repent] And show by the way you live that you have changed.

verse 9 I know what you are thinking. You want to say, ‘but Abraham is our father!’ That means nothing. I tell you, God could make children for Abraham from these rocks.
​
and, verse 10 The ax is now ready to cut down the trees. Every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire."
 
Again, He is cutting down the trees that do not produce good fruit. So, sin No More! Produce good fruit, or get cut down. Blessings and curses. The choice is really easy. Amen?

Almost all of God’s words to me over the last few years have been along the same line: Repentance, obeying God, accepting Jesus Christ, Judgment, reaping what we sow, and the Harvest. I mean, that’s pretty much the sum total of God’s Word to us in the Bible. Obey or perish. I really cannot understand how anyone could teach differently, or believe differently. His Word is crystal clear on that subject. Obey or perish. We are special because He gave us His Spirit, His Word, His Son. Amen.

God has been putting a lot on my heart in the last few years. Although it may feel like nothing is happening, that He has forsaken us, that this is the new normal, God has shown me if repent, turn away from sin, and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, God WILL give us love, power and a sound mind, and no poison darts from hell will be able to touch us.
 
God gave us His Spirit, His Word, and His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, so that we can overcome this evil world, as Jesus overcame it, and receive life everlasting.

He has not forsaken us; He will never forsake us. This is not the new normal. There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth for people who refuse the Good News of God, and much more celebration for God’s Children.


In Psalm 37, we see that God's children, believers in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which gave us the New Covenant, will not fear the evildoers:

Psalm 37 verses 1 through 6

1 "Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday."
 
Look, I know it is hard to see any good in what is happening around us, or in people perishing, but if we are in God’s Word, reading it, storing it in our hearts, then we will know why these things are happening, and that His children will be protected if they repent. THAT is what His Word tells us, repeatedly. He never promises a good time for bad people.
 
So, we are the people who have faith and are saved. Hallelujah! Amen. God said previously that we have been in a Spiritual War, but, also, that He won, as he always does. Satan will never win, and like the Egyptians at the red sea, the time is at hand for God's judgment upon the wicked.  
 
Hebrews 10 from an easy-to-read Bible:
 
35 "So don’t lose the courage that you had in the past. Your courage will be rewarded richly.

36 You must be patient. After you have done what God wants, you will get what he promised you.

37 He says,

'Very soon now, the one who is coming
    will come and will not be late.

38 The person who is right with me
    will live by trusting in me.

But I will not be pleased with the one
    who turns back in fear.'

39 But we are not those who turn back and are lost. No, we are the people who have faith and are saved."

Listen, JUDGMENT IS NIGH, BUT "THE END IS NOT YET"
 
Finally, Isaiah. I think Isaiah is one of God’s greatest prophets. He came into his calling as a prophet when he prophesied the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, some 700 years before Jesus’ birth. I mean, the bible is amazing, right?
 
So, God is calling? Are YOU answering? If not, God says, at Isaiah 66:4 “I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.” 

Delight God today, for tomorrow is not promised. 
 
Let’s bow our heads and pray: This prayer is from the Bible, Psalm 51 verses 1 through 19, because no one can say it better than God:


Heavenly, Father, thank you for our many blessings.
 
Psalm 51

1 “Have mercy upon us, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out our transgressions.

2 Wash us throughly from our iniquity, and cleanse us from our sin.

3 For we acknowledge our transgressions: and our sin is ever before us.

4 Against thee, thee only, have we sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

5 Behold, we were shapen in iniquity; and in sin did our mothers conceive us.

6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make us to know wisdom.

7 Purge us with hyssop, and we shall be clean: wash us, and we shall be whiter than snow.

8 Make us to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

9 Hide thy face from our sins, and blot out all our iniquities.

10 Create in us a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within us.

11 Cast us not away from thy presence; and take not your holy spirit from us.

12 Restore unto us the joy of thy salvation; and uphold us with your free spirit.

13 Then will we teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

14 Deliver us from blood guiltiness, O God, thou God of our salvation: and our tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

15 O Lord, open thou our lips; and our mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would we give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.”

​Hallelujah! Praise God! In Jesus’ Mighty Name. Amen.

THE LINE IS DRAWN

1/4/2023

"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.

I MUST NOT PLAY AT GOD

11/30/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture

“But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” 
​1 Corinthians 8:6

Heavenly Father, thank you for our many blessings. Lord, heal and restore Your children, our lands, our hearts. We pray for peace for Your children, the peace only You can give, the peace that passes all understanding. In Jesus' Mighty Name.

God started putting this on my heart a couple of years ago, but it was not until around October 10, 2022, that He gave me the courage and/or conviction to begin writing it. Some things just have to be spoken. God said it is time to stand up and speak out.

Around 2019, I learned that the doctor's Hippocratic Oath in the United States was changed in 1964: It no longer says, "Do No Harm." See article by clicking here.

Excerpt from the new and revised Hippocratic Oath: "Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God." End quote.

In this awesome responsibility to take a life, I must not play at God. Hate to burst their bubble, but taking a life is the epitome of playing at God.

Let's look at the first paragraph of the original hippocratic oath, before "Do no harm" was removed:

Excerpt: "I swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius the surgeon, likewise Hygeia and Panacea, and call all the gods and goddesses to witness, that I will observe and keep this underwritten oath, to the utmost of my power and judgment." End excerpt.

Notice they are swearing by a whole bunch of gods and goddesses. Holy mackerel! Where is God, the Father? There is only One God, and one Lord, Jesus Christ. ​1 Corinthians 8:6

Can you think of a reason they would want doctors to take a life? Only God can give or take a life. Not even Satan can take a man's life, but I can give you 60 million reasons they think they can!  60 million unborn babies sacrificed every year worldwide. 60,000,000.

No matter what Satan plans, nothing ever goes exactly his way, because God's Will will be done on earth as it is in heaven. How much Satan is allowed to tempt us is dependent upon God's Will, but also on us, our choices, and how quickly we turn to God in repentance, praying for forgiveness, and forgiving others. 

Who knew that ceasing to pray for something before it is fulfilled is a sin?


1 Samuel 12:23 "Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:"

Ceasing to pray for something before it is fulfilled is a sin against the Lord. This gives a whole new meaning to 1 Thessalonian 5:17, "pray without ceasing."

For the last many decades years, a lot of people have been called "crazy," because they believed in some "conspiracy theories" that are now being proven to be true and not theories at all. For the most part, these things have not even been hidden by the people perpetrating them; everything "they" do is in plain sight, if we are looking, if we have eyes to see, if we care about the truth. Remember, the truth will set you free. John 8:32

One of those things is the modern-day worship of molech, the god of child sacrifice in the Bible. This is an uncomfortable subject about which to write, because it is so unbelievable that it is happening in the 21st century, right in front of us, that people literally do not believe it; even though they see the video, they will not believe.


"And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." Luke 16:31

These signs are for believers, to build up their faith, to know God is real, because His Biblical prophecies are coming to pass, being fulfilled; they are to encourage, not to defeat. As believers in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we see prophecies being fulfilled, and we know that Jesus is near, and that we will soon be with Him.

God is here to save His children, and this should give His children peace, hope and a spirit of celebration.

The following video came to my attention only a couple of days before October 10, 2022. I did not go looking for it; actually have never heard of the "Commonwealth Games" until I saw the video.

​Seventy-two (72) nations participated in the opening ceremony, which was officiated by "King" Charles, and the theme of which is "molech worship," child, baby, unborn baby, sacrifice.

Two-thirds of the world watched the televised show.

In. Plain. Sight.

WARNING GRAPHIC: Evil from the pits of hell:
"They built the high places of Baal in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, though I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin." Jeremiah 32:35

Sixty million unborn babies murdered per year worldwide in sacrifice to Molech. Not a conspiracy theory. Not even hidden.

God save the babies. God save the world. Amen.

RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION

10/3/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture

Heavenly Father, Father of Lights, thank you for Your Word, and Your words through me. Let Your words and Your Will always be mine, and let Your children hear. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Why do some people hear from God and many others do not. I mean, it cannot be solely because some people read chapters of His Word everyday. Many people do that, and pray, and perform deeds, far greater than that. Well, everyone hears from Him if they read His Word and pray. 

Everyone hears from Him; not everyone listens to or obeys Him.

Around the end of August, Prophet Julie Green said that she started hearing God when she got mad at all of the corruption and injustice happening, or something like that.

The morning of September 1, 2022, God gave me two words: Righteous Indignation. God is having righteous indignation right now, and His Spirit is being poured out into His children, His warriors, His soldiers.

What is righteous indignation? I really just love saying the words, righteous indignation. They have such a powerful ring to them, don't they? But what does it mean? It means righteous, or godly, anger at injustice.

Christians are so afraid of being angry, or showing anger, because there is scripture that clearly says do not be angry, and do not even associate with angry people, but did you know Jesus said: Be angry but sin not!? Ephesians 4:26 "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:"


So, get angry at injustice; turn over the tables of the money changers in the temples. Be ye angry at the injustice against God's children, and by God's children. Stand up and speak out, but find peace in Jesus Christ, repent and pray for fogiveness, before you go to sleep.

God does not tell us things to intimidate or scare His children; they are said for our benefit, so we know what is coming, and can prepare ourselves. God is our Savior, and no one but He can save us. Get into His Word, and know Him, hear Him, listen to Him, obey Him! He will tell us what to do; what He tells one may differ from what He tells another; He knows what we need. Listen to Him.

Everything we need to know is in God's Word; read His Word.

​Jesus said at Matthew 10:27, "
What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops." Amen.

What is Jesus telling you in the darkness? What are you hearing in the ear?


In Ephesians 5:11, Apostle Paul tells us, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”

"Reprove" from dictionary.com means to criticize or correct, especially gently, and/or to disapprove of strongly.

Righteous indignation.

Before continuing, I want to point out that merriam-webster.com used to be my go-to dictionary until merriam-webster made an ill-fated decision to start changing definitions to suit demonic abominations, such as abortion. 

This year, I commented on a rumble.com video about Roe v. Wade, and then got into a chat with someone about abortion, the Constitution, and God.

You can read that blog titled, "Delight God Today," by clicking here.

So, in this chat, the other person wrote that basically morals are a matter of perspective. And, they had quoted the definition for a "parasite," implying that an embryo and/or fetus were parasites, which is many pro-choicers' preferred go-to when discussing abortion. 

Of course, until now, their claim did not hold water, because Science proved long ago that a parasite feeds off of, and potentially harms, its host "of a different species," which clearly does not refer to an embryo or a fetus, which are of the same species as their host: human.

Sometime in the last year, however, merriam-webster has apparently decided that it knows more than Science, and has changed the definition of "parasite"; it no longer includes the words, "of a different species." 

Now! pro-abortionists have something to back up their claims! Now, they can label an embryo and/or fetus as a parasite, and show the merriam-webster.com definition to back it up. 

It is passed time for Christians, or anyone with an ounce of morals, to have some Righteous Indignation. Jesus said, "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." Revelation 3:16

So, it is time for Christians to get hot for Jesus, to hear God, listen to Him, and obey Him. He is calling His warriors to stand up and speak out with God's Righteous Indignation. In Jesus' Mighty Name.

Apostle Paul says in 2 Timothy 4:2, "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine."

We already know what reprove means. Let's look at "rebuke." Again, from dictionary.com: to express sharp, stern disapproval of; reprove; reprimand.

So, reprove and rebuke mean basically the same thing, except rebuke is solely on the stern side. Since we have looked at those two, let's finish it up and see what "exhort" means as well:

From dictionary.com: Exhort: to urge, advise, or caution earnestly; admonish urgently.

This means that Christians should be criticizing, correcting gently, if appropriate and received, but if not, disapproving strongly, sharply and sternly, urging, advising, and/or cautioning earnestly, and admonishing urgently, all unfruitful works of darkness. 

This is a difficult word to write, but something God has been piecing together for me since the beginning of 2021, with my first blog on the subject in March 2021, titled "Algorithm is Not Man's Rhythm," Click here for Part 1 on this word, and here for Part 2.

If the following information presented is true, then truly only God can save the world. Amen.

The first two items below, Elon Musk, and mRNA covid vaccines from the CDC website, have been around for awhile. I first saw them about a year ago. 
​
Following is a video of Elon Musk saying you can turn someone into a butterfly with mRNA:
When I mentioned this to a family member, who is a Christian, their reply was, I wouldn't mind being a butterfly, or something to that effect. My reply back was something like, Why? God created you perfect the way you are! Of course, they immediately replied with, "joking," or some such thing.

Our words are alive, and God is listening! Jesus said, "By your words you shall be justified; and by your words you shall be condemned." Matthew 12:37


Click here for a link to the CDC.gov page that shows that mRNA is in covid vaccines.

​
Just recently, this week, I stumbled upon the video below from rumble.com about the 144,000 in Revelation 7, and the number of the beast, and the number of a man, in Revelation 13:18. 

Everything is in plain sight. "They" don't even try to hide their abominations.


Before you watch the short videos below, know that God has said through His prophets that nothing they have planned will go as "they" have planned; it is not yet their time. He has also said that we will see undeniable miracles, miraculous healings and births, signs and wonders from Jesus Christ. Amen.

Click here to watch the short video from rumble.com about the mRNA covid vaccines, and God's 144,000 in Rev. 7, and the number of the beast in Rev.
 13:18: 

To recap the video: The human genome is 144,000 genes, 72,000 each from mother and father.

mRNA in the covid vaccines changes, or can change - I'm no expert, but none of it can be good -  It changes the human genome to 216,000 genes, instead of our God-given 144,000 genes; it literally turns the double-helix strand of the human genome into a triple-helix strand.

As told in Revelation 13:18, 
“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”

Count the number . . . Six hundred threescore and six; or,

600 times 60 times 6; or,

6 6 6, "the number of the beast," "the number of a man"; or,

600x60x6 equals 216,000 genes. 

No longer human; now called "transhuman." No longer God's creation.

Click here to watch a short video from rumble.com of yuval harari, false prophet to globalist elite klaus schwab, saying the new, changed genome is the way of the future: "humans are now hackable"


mRNA is in the covid vaccines; Elon Musk says you can turn someone into a butterfly with mRNA; false prophet yuval harari says, "humans are now hackable."

People will be lining up for it! It is Biblical!

Prophets have said, and Holy Spirit has shown me, that we are in a time of refreshing now: 

​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."

The presence of the Lord is here now; times of refreshing are here now.

Every day. We must repent to God, tell Him we turn away from the sin in our lives, even if we do not know or think that we have sinned, and that we turn to Him, in full surrender and obedience to His Will.

And, pray for forgiveness of our sins. Every day.

Click here to see my blog titled, "Overcomers," about repentance and forgiveness.

​God will not overlook sin.


But God . . . But God gives us a way out. Reach out and grab it before it is too late.
That way is His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, the way, the truth and the life.

​


The time is at hand for . . . God's Righteous Indignation. Stand up and speak out. 

Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

SEVENTY YEARS

​"
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:


  • Feb 6 Queen Elizabeth II succeeds King George VI to the British throne and proclaimed Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms including Canada, Australia and New Zealand
​
  • Mar 10 Military coup led by General Fulgencio Batista in Cuba
​
  • Apr 1 Big Bang theory proposed in Physical Review by Alpher, Bethe & George Gamow
​
  • May 7 The concept of the integrated circuit, the basis for all modern computers, is first published by Geoffrey Dummer
​
  • Nov 1 "Ivy Mike", the first thermonuclear weapon to utilize the H-bomb design of Edward Teller and Stanislaw Ulam, is detonated in the Marshall Islands, Pacific Ocean

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:


  • Dwight Eisenhower elected President over Adlai Stevenson by wide margin; Republicans gain control of White House and both houses of Congress 
​​
  • Korean conflict continues as truce attempts fail
​
  • U.S. begins construction of first nuclear submarine, the Nautilus
​
  • U.S. detonates world’s first hydrogen bomb
​
  • Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Richard Nixon defends himself against charges of maintaining a secret slush fund in his "Checkers" speech, broadcast on national television
​ ​
  • Britain develops atomic bomb
​
  • Green-tinted chlorophyll becomes a popular additive to a variety of food and medicinal products as a breath aid (a benefit soon to be disputed by many doctors and scientists)
​ ​
  • First contraceptive pill developed
​​
  • Dr. Jonas Salk develops polio vaccine

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.

As I have written before, in 2019, God called me to be a warrior for the unborn babies. Since Satan groomed me most of my Life to be a recluse (a topic for another blog), the best way I knew to fight abortion at the time was on social(ism) media: Facebook and Twitter, specifically in replying to hateful, evil comments on posts.

Although I am no longer on facebook or twitter, I still comment occasionally on rumble.com.

Recently, I am seeing a lot more ungodly comments, denouncing God even. If these ungodly, satanic platforms are going to continue to operate, then they really need to see God's Word as well.

The following is not a typical conversation about abortion. crazysquirrelusa is actually reasonably civilized compared to most of the conversations I have with pro-choicers. Even though it is not typical, it is a good representation of the ungodliness abounding on these social(ism) media platforms.

This conversation took place today, July 24, 2022. You can see from the screenshots below that AtomicCracker started the conversation, followed by crazysquirrelusa, and then me, FaithfulLambs:

End of that conversation for now. I am sure crazysquirrelusa will have more to say.

God called me to be a Warrior! Has He called you? Are you listening?


“I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.” Isaiah 66:4

Delight God today, for tomorrow is not promised.

Above image: Two triangle cutouts in the clouds, on the left side, pointing at each other, and a small rectangle cutout to the right of the bottom triangle. Perhaps the rectangle is refueling the triangles? *shrugs*

I originally took the picture because I saw the rectangle cutout. Then, later when reviewing the pictures, I saw the two triangles.  

These photos were taken by me, personally, in May 2022, from our garage, in Western Massachusetts. These triangles continuously floated by with the clouds for about 1.5 hours.

​It was about an hour into it before we even thought about getting a camera, and later, after the event, wondered why we didn't use the video camera. We were stunned, to say the least; have never seen anything like that. The whole 1.5 hours were surreal.

Above image: Large triangle at top of screen, and a smaller one at the bottom. ​I assume the larger ones are closer to us.

Prophet Robin Bullock: God said, The rhythm of Life flows right along with a man, but the algorithm is death!


What are the triangles in the clouds in the images above? Well, God already told us they are spying on us. See my blog titled, "Algorithm is Not Man's Rhythm," for God's previous word to me about this: Now, they use this technology to get rich off us with advertising, but their intent or goal is to use it to round up dissenters, those who dare to disagree with their tyranny.

Why are we seeing these things now? Desperate times call for desperate measures. The corrupt politicians are falling one by one. Right now even, there are an historic number of democrats who have left politics altogether. They cannot afford to be careful; they have nothing to lose anymore. They do not care if we know what they are doing, because it is their last ditch effort to stay on top, and keep their decades of evil deeds hidden from the public's prying eyes. 

Acts 5:39 “But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.”

Make no mistake, this is great news! I am (you are) a Child of God, and no poison dart can penetrate God's protection. So, I say, Bring it, demons! Or, to coin a little saying I learned in kindergarten: I'm rubber and you're glue; everything you say (and do) bounces off of me and sticks to you. In Jesus's Mighty Name! Amen.

If you see some, just yell up at them, Jesus loves you and so do I. Repent! Turn to God to be healed. I mean, if they are listening to us, we should give them something to listen to. Amen.

Literally, this is our protection in Jesus Christ:

If we repent, turn away from sin, and turn in obedience to God, the devil will flee from us. He has no choice, because it is written in James 4:7 below, and God's Word does not return to him void.

James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Pray for the world leaders. Pray for the unborn babies, who are under attack now more than ever. Pray for your church. Pray for your enemies. Pray for God's Light to shine through us.

Matthew 5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"

Read the Bible and pray. Pray and read the Bible.

Pray without ceasing. 1 Thes. 5:17 

Amen.

THE 21st CENTURY EXODUS

Picture

"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:
​
  1. Staff turned to serpent 
  2. Waters turned to blood
  3. Frogs
  4. Lice
  5. Flies
  6. Cattle, Horses, Camels die (and others)
  7. Boils
  8. Hail
  9. Locusts
  10. Darkness for Three Days
  11. Firstborn Die​​
  12. Separating the wheat from the chaff


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:
Picture

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."

The next Biblical plague: frogs:

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."

Excerpt: "The Norwegian salmon giant Mowi counts 251,913 as its "final tally" of Atlantic salmon mortalities due to a sea lice outbreak in October at three of its farms in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) . . ."

​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."

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:
Picture
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.

May 2022: Camels: vimeo.com

Camels dying of Starvation in Somalia Square

I did not research every category of animal mentioned in Exodus 9:3​. 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

FREE WILL

7/1/2022

Mankind has choices.
​They are called "free will."

Picture


​WARNING: Some parts of this blog are graphic and may not be appropriate for some readers.

This probably will not be a popular blog amongst some, but it is something God put on my heart this morning. Lord, let Your words always be mine, and let Your children with ears, hear. Amen.

Did you know that Biblically, historically, and literally, the choices made by mankind (men and women) were, are, and will forever be, the salvation or the downfall of men? We are able to make these choices because we have "free will": let Your Will [not our own free will] be done on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10

Ecc. 7 below tells us that among a thousand men, the preacher (Solomon) could find only one man who pleased God, but among a thousand women, he could not find a single one that pleased God. That is not a great reference for women, or men, for that matter, because, as God said, the thoughts of men's hearts are nothing but evil continually.

Ecc. 7

27 "'Behold, I have discovered this,' says the Preacher, 'while adding one thing to another to find an explanation, 

28 which I am still seeking but have not found. I have found one man among a thousand [who pleases God], but I have not found [such] a woman among all these [a thousand in my harem]. 

29 Behold, I have found only this [as a reason]: God made man upright and uncorrupted, but they [both men and women] have sought out many devices [for evil].'”

Free will plus evil thoughts seems like a bad combination, and as we can see from Ecc. 7 above, and see playing out in the world before us, it can be a bad combination, if we make the wrong choices.

Let's look at a few Biblical stories that show how man's free will plus evil thoughts greatly affected mankind. It seems appropriate to start in the beginning with Adam and Eve, whom was the mother of all mankind.

Now, the story in Genesis is that God told Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; Adam told Eve not to eat from it as well; but, the snake tempted Eve, and she ate it; and she gave some to her husband to eat, and he did eat it.

So, as far back as our history is written, the first man and woman made a choice for mankind, which disobeyed God. 

How different would our world have been if Adam and Eve had faith in God, and made a different choice?

The next notable story of choices for mankind is Abraham and Sarai, or Sarah. God specifically told Abraham that he would have a son from his own bowels. Yet, Sarah became impatient with God's Time, and thought God had forsaken them, so she told Abraham to marry her Egyptian slave, Hagar, and have a child through her. 

Abraham being a faithful husband (but where was his faith in God) did as his wife instructed him, married Hagar, the slave, and Ishmael was born, whom is the father of Islam.

How different would our world have been if Abraham and Sarah had made a different choice, and listened to God, and waited for God's Time?

Next up, we come to Rebekah and Isaac, Abraham's son after Ishmael. Now, Rebekah had twins: Esau and Jacob. Esau was the firstborn, and Isaac loved him more because he was a good hunter and did feed his father of his venison stew. But, Rebekah loved Jacob.

We probably all know this story: On his death bed, Isaac wanted to bless his firstborn, Esau. Rebekah overheard Isaac telling Esau to go hunt some venison and make him some stew so he could eat and bless him before he died. Rebekah made some stew, disguised Jacob with goat skins on his hands and neck, so he would be hairy like Esau, and sent Jacob into his father, Isaac, to feed him and steal Esau's blessing.

Isaac was old, and he could not see that well. He suspected that it was Jacob by his voice, but Jacob's hands were hairy like Esau, and he smelled like Esau, because he was wearing Esau's garments, so Isaac blessed Jacob instead of Esau. When Esau learned of this, he became greatly distressed and angry. He married Canaanite women just to displease his mother.

How different would our world have been if Rebekah and Jacob had made a different choice, and not stolen Esau's blessing? 

These are just three examples of Biblical history related to choices made by men and women that changed the course of our world forever.

WARNING: GRAPHIC

Lastly, man's most egregious and heinous free will choice: Abortion. The literal ripping apart limb from limb of an unborn baby, who may be able to feel pain as early as eight or nine weeks in the womb. With the most heinous of all atrocities, "Up-to-Birth Abortion" passed into law in NYC in 2019. Governor Cuomo lit up NYC in pink to celebrate its passing.

And, they all cheered.

GRAPHIC: Up-to-Birth Abortion (6-9 months): Up to nine months old in the womb, the day the baby is supposed to be born: The doctor (butcher) pulls the baby's body out of the womb, leaving only the head in the vagina. Then, the butcher jabs scissors into the base of the baby's skull and inserts a plastic tube, and sucks the baby's brains out. They then dispose of the nine-month-old baby's dead body in a trashcan. The only reason they leave the head in the vagina is because if they pulled it out also, it would be called murder, which it is.

Barbaric. Abominable.

And, they all cheered.

Did you know that the founder of planned parenthood (I refuse to capitalize the names of the ungodly), margaret sanger, was sued in a court of law for sterilizing unsuspecting Black women. Apparently, she got a slap on the wrist, and proceeded to open up planned parenthood. But, that was not enough for her, because one way or the other, she was going to exterminate the Black population, or weed them out, as she put it. 

Decades later, 79% of planned parenthood death clinics are located within two miles of a poor Black or Hispanic neighborhood. Black babies make up 38% of the abortions in the USA.

And, they all cheered. 

I think it is important to point out here that in the Esau and Jacob story above, before Rebekah and Jacob stole Esau's blessing, Esau had himself sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of red lentil stew. This greatly displeased God, as it says later in His Word: "Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright." Hebrews 12:16

How is this relevant to this blog? Actually, it is very relevant, because man has God's Spirit, and the blood covenant, and we are supposed to overcome the evil and wickedness of this world, as Jesus overcame. Matthew 16:25 "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it."

Esau had God's Spirit also, but his flesh was weak. We  overcome by always remembering, and never forgetting, that "The flesh will return to the dust from whence it came; and the spirit will return to God who gave it."


Once Adam and Eve chose sin and death for mankind, Satan's goal was obstacles for man, to keep us from our inheritance, to keep us from overcoming.

To put it another way, it is not that God "lets things happen." It is that things were set in motion when Adam and Eve chose sin and death for mankind. The world would have been a completely different place if people had had faith in God and made different choices.

​Every choice we make sets in motion another path, good or evil.

So, we learn from this that we ought to have faith in God. “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.” Mark 11:22

In a world that seems like the Twilight Zone meets Idiocracy meets War of the Worlds, how do we possibly have faith in God? Even though I have written about this recently, apparently God thought it was important to repeat this morning.

"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17

What does this mean? These are not just words. God's Word, the Bible, is not just words. His words are alive and active and powerful. And, they are for us!

What the heck am I rambling on about? As I said in a recent blog, I have not felt much like writing lately, probably because I have not felt much like reading (the Bible). God speaks to us when we read His word. He proves it to me repeatedly. "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by [reading] the word of God."

So, as I said, I have not been reading the Bible quite as much in the last month or so; still reading it, but only a verse or two at a time instead of chapters. Yesterday, however, I felt lonely for God; I'm not sure how else to describe it. So, I started reading Genesis, picked up where I had left off previously, and read 13 or 14 chapters straight, all the way to the end.

I felt so much better after reading it, and, since God talks to us when we read His Word, He showed me the content of this blog this morning. When you read His Word, He talks to you, which gives you faith in Him. THAT is what is meant by Romans 10:17: "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by [reading] the word of God."

If you want to understand His Word, and have faith in Him, then read His Word.

In closing, men and women have choices in this world; it is called "free will." We can choose good, or we can choose evil. There is no gray area.

Choose good. Choose God. Choose Life. Amen.

THE RIGHT TO LIFE

6/25/2022

Thank you, Blessed Mary, for having faith in God, and not having an abortion. Thank you, Jesus, our Savior thee, for sacrificing your life for our sins. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for sending your only begotten son to die for us. Let Your Will and Your words always be mine. Amen.

James 1:25 "But he who looks carefully into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and faithfully abides by it, not having become a [careless] listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he will be blessed and favored by God in what he does [in his life of obedience]."

Life Always Wins. God Always Wins.


Did you know that abortion is not a Constitutional right? No matter how many times "they" say it is.

You know what is a right though? The unalienable right to Life. As a matter of fact, the right to Life is the first right we are given in the Declaration of Independence.

Preamble to the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness.”

We hold these truths to be self-evident : self-evident, meaning they should require no proof; common sense and morality should dictate right and wrong.

All men are created equal : created equal, from the moment of conception, when Life is formed. Notice that it does not say born equal.

They are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights :

Meriam-webster "unalienable" : Impossible to take away or give up.

Unalienable rights, endowed, or given freely, to us by our Creator.

That among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness : 

Life;

Liberty (or freedom, equality); and,

The Pursuit of happiness. 

All are unalienable rights given to us by our Creator, the Father of Lights, in whom there is no shadow of turning. 

Think about it. The belief in the opposite idea is an extinction-level mentality, because if everyone thought that life was disposable, we might just dispose ourselves right out of existence. The fact is that it is not just a cliche: Without the right to life, no other rights matter. 

At least five of the justices that voted to overturn Roe and Casey are Christians; this is not a coincidence. Biblically, and now historically with Roe, people who are God-fearing, and have faith in God, are the ones who save mankind from extinction. I wrote  two other blogs recently about faith, and mankind being saved, which you can read ​here and here.

In closing, an unborn baby does have arms, legs and a heartbeat.

An embryo is human Life, and real science proves that it is Life from the moment of conception, or fertilization. See an Abstract from the American College of Pediatricians, titled "When Human Life Begins" by clicking here. 

Any arguments to the contrary are lies perpetrated on the American people, and the world, by corrupt politicians, world and local leaders, teachers, religious leaders, and others, whose only desires are greed and control.

Their time is up. It is time for God's children to shine. Step up. Speak up. Get involved. Lift up your hands. Praise God wherever you go. Make sure everyone knows on which side you are at ALL times. 

Approach people with love, kindness, and knowledge of God's word, to give them something better to look forward to, or hold on to, rather than despair. 

We are the Light of the World. It is time to shine.

​Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

THE FAMILY

6/9/2022

0 Comments

 
Believers in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ ARE "The Family," 2.5 billion members strong worldwide!
Picture
"And he [Jesus] answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother." ​Mark 3:33-35

Heavenly father, let Your Words and Your Will always be mine, and not my own, and let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus' name. Amen.

I began writing this blog at the beginning of April 2022, but to tell you the truth, I have not felt much like writing, not that God hasn't tried though. Someone said something the other day, and it made me realize that I am not afraid; I am not worried; I KNOW God will not forsake me.

The problem is I am waiting for something. Instead of living in the present, in His current victories, and having faith in His promises, I am waiting for His promises.

The Bible does not tell us to wait! Jesus tells us to go forth and preach His Word, and confirm it with signs:

Mark 16

15 "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen."

Jesus is saying that these signs will follow anyone who believes, not just His apostles: 


  • We shall cast out devils;
  • Speak with new tongues;
  • Take up serpents;
  • No deadly thing we drink shall hurt us; and,
  • We shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Who knew? Those are some pretty tall orders, and they are available to each and every one of God's Children, believers in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We may not perform, or even see, a lot of these signs right now, but we will very soon.

As I have said many times, God is pouring out His Spirit into the hearts of His Chosen, and they are awakening en masse to the Power of God and the blood of Jesus Christ.

​Where there is Light, however, there is also darkness, for a time. 

The morning of May 26, as I was reading the Bible, the Holy Spirit gave me discernment of the following scripture, as it relates to current events:

Matthew 12

43 "
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

44 Then he says, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished.

45 Then goes he, and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation."

In verse 43, the unclean spirit represents all of the demons possessing men today, mostly men in leadership around the world, but also many other abominations affecting society today.

"Man" in v. 45 represents mankind.

So, all unclean spirits in the world right now are being cast out, and they will roam, seeking rest, and find none.

In verse 44, because this is not yet the end, after a period of time, those spirits will come back, and find the world empty (of demon spirits), swept (clean by believers in the blood of Jesus Christ, The Family), and garnished (with crowns of glory).

And, finally, in verse 45, those unclean spirits will each bring seven other spirits more wicked than themselves, and the last state of mankind will be worse than the first.

This Word is in line with God's Words to me in these blogs for the last three years. Destruction is coming, but God's Children who listen to, and obey, Him will be saved.


I felt compelled to follow through and finish this blog this morning, June 9, when I read the following article on Business Insider: 

www.businessinsider.com/magaverse-civil-war-brews-lin-wood-mike-lindell-qanon-john-2022-6

Who and what to believe, and, oh, what a tangled web they weave.

What does all of this have to do with "The Family"? Everything.

Something God began putting heavy on my heart around the beginning of April 2022 is "The Family." 

Seeing more people at church recently, even if short-lived, was such a blessing, and an answer to prayers. I realize, however, that what God said last year, that people would be looking for Him, is here, right now! What are people looking for exactly? The Family.

Think about it: We are in The Family of Christ. Our Family is 2.5 billion members strong worldwide. 

Jesus tells us that we are all a member of the body of Christ, and each member needs the other members to function. For example, if we were all ears, then we would not be able to see, taste, touch, walk, think, et cetera. We are all a member of The Family of Christ, and we need each other like a flashlight needs batteries to shine its light.

Birth families are more divided than ever now, because God is literally separating the wheat from the chaff, and He is making it clear on which side everyone stands. People are searching for The Family that they do not have any longer as a result of this separation; they are searching for a connection with the members of the body of Christ, The Family that is 2.5 billion strong.

Having been alienated from my birth family for many years, I can remember saying, even recently, that I have no family. This simply is not true. Jesus tells us to love The Family (in Christ) first, and then everyone else, as if they were ourselves. 

Who is our family? Jesus said His family were those who believed in Him, the body of Christ, The Family, 2.5 billion members, who are emptying, sweeping, and will be wearing those crowns of glory when the demon spirits return sevenfold!  Matthew 12:43-45 above. 

We are the batteries (2.5 billion) that will make God's (flash)light shine!

Be prepared by charging your batteries now with the Word of God Ephesians 6:11-24, prayer, and The Family. 


“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jeremiah 33:3

Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen.

"DENOUNCE EVIL"

2/17/2022

THE NARROW AND WIDE GATES

Picture
Matthew 7

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. 

14 But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it."


​This is a word God has been putting on my heart for the last year, with the first word on February 23, 2021, almost one year ago, "Denounce Evil," followed by: 

8/28/21 - Man is a slow learner
9/13/21 - The sins of Jeroboam
12/14/21 - Work With God, Not Against Him

All glory and honor and praise and thanksgiving to God Most High. Let Your words be mine, and not my own, and let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus' name. Amen.

2/23/21 - Denounce Evil

This was a tough one, one of those words where I opened a blog, put basically the title, "Denounce Evil," and saved the date. I opened the blank document a few times over the year, but I was clueless. 

This morning though, God dropped a doozy on me. When I opened my website to start a new blog about the 'doozy,' I opened instead an untitled blog that I created around November 2021, which was a combination of these words from God on the dates I mention above, including "Denounce Evil." Now, because God is great, all the time, the 'doozy' He dropped on me this morning, finalizes His words to me given on the dates above, which He has given me over the last year.

His first word to me almost one year ago on February 23, 2021, "Denounce Evil," should have been enough for me to write this blog, but as His Word tells us:


"For though by this time you ought to be teachers [because of the time you have had to learn these truths], you actually need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of God’s word . . ." Hebrews 5:12

So, even though, over the last few years, God has literally changed my life, and how I lived it, I did not understand the full meaning of the changes as they related to evil in our every day lives. Evil that we let into our homes, and our children's lives, every day!

Let me try to explain. I knew that God had willed me to stop watching horror movies, especially movies about spirits, demons, sorcery, wizards, the underworld (vampires), but, also, bloody, violent movies. All of my favorites, by the way! So, this was a BIG change for my life, but it was really an involuntary change, meaning I had no control over it. All of a sudden, I realized that I could no longer watch movies like that, because they went against everything godly.

It was an involuntary action or change in my life (God's Will), and this morning, He turned on a light inside of me that shone clear as day:

Woe to us! We have gone the 'defiant way of Cain,' who thought he could climb into heaven some other way than through the door. That one is a thief and a robber. John 10:1

What does that mean? It means, we may say to ourselves, or anyone who will listen, Oh, it is just a movie, or just a poster on my child's wall, or just a t-shirt, or just some jewelry, et cetera, but to the demon or spirit it was created to deify, it will always be a sound of victory, representing defeat over God's precious chosen, Us! 

Cain knew right and wrong and the consequences, and he chose to be disobedient to God, and, by so doing, obedient to Satan and evil. Instead of worshipping God, he chose to worship Satan. See my blog about 'Cain and Abel' here.

Satan is the ruler of this world, and the "things" in it are his to give:

Matthew 4

9 "And [Satan] says unto him [Jesus], All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.

10 Then said Jesus unto him, Get you hence, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve."

So, idol worship is worshipping (spending time with) any 'thing' more than you worship (spend time with) God.

In fact, we are specifically told to meditate on His teachings day and night: "But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law [His precepts and teachings] he [habitually] meditates day and night." Psalm 1:1

Trust me, I know firsthand the Truth hurts. I mean, I just recently found a couple of websites where you can watch practically any movie you want to watch, which in times past, would have been a gold mine for me. Now, though, I find very little worth, or worthy of, watching, and when I watch those movies now, with my new 'spiritual eye,' I see their in plain sight, hidden, agenda, which was and is to corrupt our minds, trying to keep us from moving towards God's glory, our rightful inheritance.

Satan is the ruler of this world!

1 John 2:

15 "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides for ever."

So, bottom line, you 'worship' whatever you spend the most time on during the day, which is sad because most people worship their jobs more than anything else. All is not lost, however, because as I have written before, you can, and should, still worship God, even while you are at work, or driving in the car, or standing in line. Hallelujah! Praise God. Amen.

Now, it is not really our fault, but it is. Meaning, Adam and Eve chose sin for us initially, but God, in His infinite Power and Wisdom, gives us every possible escape from temptation. 1 Corinthians 10:13. 

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41

Next up, God put on my heart on August 28, 2021, that "Man is a Slow Learner."

I chuckled to myself as I was writing this because the Holy Spirit showed me that this message was meant for me! I am a slow learner! Clearly, since it took me almost a full year to understand the word from Him, "Denounce Evil"!

8/28/21 - Man is a Slow Learner

Joshua, the son of Nun, whom was Moses' assistant ruling over the Israelites, and whom assumed the role of leading them after Moses died, did not defeat all of God's enemies before he died. God left many enemies to test the Israelites. The Israelites lived in obedience to God until the death of Joshua, and the death of the remaining elders after him. After that, they "did evil in the sight of the Lord," so He sold them into slavery for eight years, and they repeatedly did evil in His sight.


When you read the Old Testament, you cannot help but wonder why the Israelites were so stubborn? The LORD was actually with them, showing them signs, wonders and miracles, first in Egypt, and, then, during their 40 years in the wilderness. Yet, Moses was gone only 40 days and 40 nights to talk to God, and the people had already convinced Aaron (a Levite and the High Priest for God) to make them a golden calf to worship, and he did!

In the generations that came afterwards, the ratio of bad kings outnumbered good kings, and thus the people who followed these bad leaders were bad as well. The Israelites never seemed to learn from their mistakes. When times got really bad, and the false idols they were worshipping did not answer their prayers to save them, because they never did, could or would, they then prayed to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, whom they knew all along would save them, and He did, time and time again.

As you can see from the following chart (courtesy of biblesanity.org), there were a lot more bad rulers than good.

Satan is very good at his job.
Picture

The next thing God put on my heart related to "Denounce Evil," was the "The Sins of Jeroboam," on September 13, 2021.

9/13/21 - The Sins of Jeroboam

​
Having researched this at the time, I can tell you what those sins were.

First, Jeroboam, told the Israelites that they did not have to travel all the way to Jerusalem every year to worship their God, the God of Israel, but they could just worship him more conveniently at one of the two 'high places,' which Jeroboam had built.

Second, Jeroboam decreed that anyone could serve as a High Priest at his high places, even though the Mosaic Law said that the high priests had to be from the Levitical line.

Third, Jeroboam made golden cows, idols, and placed them at the high places for people to worship! 

You can see from the chart above that ALL of the kings of Israel after Jeroboam were bad, which in the Bible describes as "followed the sins of Jeroboam."

How does this relate to our lives? As I was typing this, God gave me that answer! In the scenario above, in the order given:

First, Satan tells us that we do not need to travel all the way to church, but that we can just worship God more conveniently from our own homes, on the network Satan built, on our computers or televisions.

Acts 2

1 "When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place, 

2 and suddenly a sound came from heaven like a rushing violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting." 

"Not forsaking our meeting together [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the habit of some . . ." Hebrews 10:25

So, "They were all together in one place." They did not stop meeting together, as is the habit of 'some.' Not at home, staring at a computer or television, or, if Satan has his way, not worshipping at all!

Ironically, this word was to me in September. My husband and I started attending church about a month later, for the first time in the 18 years of our marriage, which I just realized as I was typing this!!

Second, in 'the Sins of Jeroboam' analogy above, Satan has decreed that anyone can serve as a high priest at his churches, places of worship, especially anyone not teaching sound doctrine. 2 Timothy 4:3

So, was God warning me to find a church that teaches sound doctrine? Most likely, especially since we went to another church first, where you could feel the presence of the Lord and Holy Spirit were stifled, nonexistent.

Third, Satan has made many idols for man to worship in his world. Remember, you worship whatever you do or think about the most:

"
Do you not know that when you continually offer yourselves to someone to do his will, you are the slaves of the one whom you obey, either [slaves] of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness (right standing with God)?" Romans 6:16.

To withstand Satan, we are told to clothe ourselves with God's Word Ephesians 6:11-24, and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.' 2 Corinthians 10:5. Amen.

Now, God's last word to me (that I was awake to hear) on this subject, until today, was back on December 14, 2021, "Work With God, Not Against Him":

12/14/21: Work With God, Not Against Him

If we understand God's Power, the Power of His Word and His Love, why do we not all work with Him, instead of against Him?

When I think back on my own, personal experiences with God and the Holy Spirit, beginning when I was 13 years old, again in my 30s, and then not again until 58, I knew from these experiences that there was something supernatural out there, if and when I could tap into it, something that could change the very essence of who I was. ​See 'My Testimony to God's Power here.

I did not understand this supernatural force until recently though, and, or course, I still do not understand it fully. Even though I knew all of these years that there was something out there, I still ran from it instead of embracing it.

Here again, I now know this message, "Work With God, Not Against Him," was for me, and I know what it is about. One day, when I decide to admit it, and listen to Him, I will write about it. Amen!


So, really, not much has changed:

Over six thousand years later, and man is still stubborn!

​Satan is still deceiving.


God's end game is still for man to reap his rightful inheritance.

​And, Satan's end game is still​ to stop that, at all costs, while unwittingly or unwillingly moving man towards salvation. God is great, all the time.

Denounce Evil! 

"Do not participate in the worthless and unproductive deeds of darkness, but instead expose them [by exemplifying personal integrity, moral courage, and godly character];" Ephesians 5:11

Not by words but by power! 1 Corinthians 4:20
​
Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

THE MILLENNIAL REIGN

2/9/2022

APOPHIS (which translated means "hell")

Picture
"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:
Picture
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!

"Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame." 1 Corinthians 15:34


​All glory and honor and praise and thanksgiving to the One True God, our Heavenly Father. Let Your words and Your Will be mine, and let those with a mind to understand, see and hear. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

In 2019, God told me that we are in a Spiritual War and a Spiritual Revival. A Spiritual War is not a war in the physical realm, but in the supernatural realm. Ephesians 6:12. (Also see my blog titled, 'The Narrow Gate" here) 

You cannot be a warrior for God in this Spiritual War, but will only barely escape through fire 1 Corinthians 3:14-16, if you are not wearing the full armor of God. ​Ephesians 6:11-24. I know. Broken record. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

Now, as I have said before, we can see the Spiritual Revival happening all around us, here and there, thousands being brought to Jesus Christ. Amen. It was not until a couple of days ago, however, that I came to a very important realization. God turned on my light again, so to speak: The Spiritual Revival is around us, but more importantly, it is inside of us. 

See more under 'My Testimony to God's Power.'

So, when God's Spiritual Revival began, the world did not all of the sudden become darker. No, it has always been dark, because, as God said, men have nothing but evil thoughts continually. Genesis 6:5

If the world did not become darker, then what did happen? Well, God is awakening His children. Some of us, 'believers,' have awakened from our sleep of spiritual complacency (Romans 13:11 below), and others continue to awaken.

All of a sudden, murdering unborn babies at all, ever, but especially at nine months old in the womb, the day they are suppose to be born, became a real life horror movie, against everything Godly, or morally right. Or, silencing and censoring people on social(ism) media, who do not agree with you, which is called communism by the way. These are just a couple of in-your-face examples, but awakening is so much more. See my blog titled 'Sin No More.'

Awaken from your sleep of spiritual complacency, or I will come like a thief in the night.

Romans 13

8 
[2]Owe nothing to anyone except to [3]love and seek the best for one another; for he who [unselfishly] loves his neighbor has fulfilled the [essence of the] law [relating to one’s fellowman]. 

9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet,” and any other commandment are summed up in this statement: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 

10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor [it never hurts anyone]. Therefore [unselfish] love is the fulfillment of the Law.

11 Do this, knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed [in Christ]. 

12 The night [this present evil age] is almost gone and the day [of Christ’s return] is almost here. So let us fling away the works of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light. 

13 Let us conduct ourselves properly and honorably as in the [light of] day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and irresponsibility, not in quarreling and jealousy. 

14 But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for [nor even think about gratifying] the flesh in regard to its improper desires."

  1. Romans 13:2 An exception to this is recorded in Acts 5:27-29. See especially v 29.
  2. Romans 13:8 Debt is generally to be avoided, but Paul probably is addressing debt to individuals with whom one has a personal relationship.
  3. Romans 13:8 The key to understanding this and other statements about love is to know that this love (the Greek word agape) is not so much a matter of emotion as it is of doing things for the benefit of another person, that is, having an unselfish concern for another and a willingness to seek the best for other believers.

'Now these things happened to them as an example and warning [to us]; they were written for our instruction [to admonish and equip us], upon whom the ends of the ages have come.' v. 11 below:

1 Corinthians 10

1 "For I do not want you to be unaware, believers, that our fathers were all under the cloud [in which God’s presence went before them] and they all passed [miraculously and safely] through the [Red] Sea; 

2 And all [of them] were baptized into Moses [into his safekeeping as their leader] in the cloud and in the sea; 

3 and all [of them] ate the same [1]spiritual food; 

4 and all [of them] drank the same [2]spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ. 

5 Nevertheless, God was not well-pleased with [3]most of them, for they were scattered along the ground in the wilderness [because their lack of self-control led to disobedience which led to death].

6 Now these things [the warnings and admonitions] took place as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did. 

7 Do not be worshipers of handmade gods, as some of them were; just as it is written [in Scripture], 'The people sat down to eat and drink [after sacrificing to the [4]golden calf at Horeb], and stood up to play [indulging in immoral activities].'

8 We must not indulge in [nor tolerate] sexual immorality, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand [suddenly] fell [dead] in a single day! 

9 We must not tempt the Lord [that is, test His patience, question His purpose or exploit His goodness], as some of them did—and they were killed by serpents. 

10 And do not murmur [in unwarranted discontent], as some of them did—and were destroyed by the [5]destroyer. 

11 Now these things happened to them as an example and warning [to us]; they were written for our instruction [to admonish and equip us], upon whom the ends of the ages have come."

  1. 1 Corinthians 10:3 I.e. divinely provided manna.
  2. 1 Corinthians 10:4 I.e. divinely provided water from a rock.
  3. 1 Corinthians 10:5 Of all those adult Israelites who had been in bondage in Egypt, only Joshua and Caleb (along with those born in the wilderness) were allowed to enter the promised land.
  4. 1 Corinthians 10:7 The selection of a calf-god was probably inspired by the Egyptian bull-god Apis (Hapis), believed to be a living manifestation of the Egyptian god Ptah.
  5. 1 Corinthians 10:10 Perhaps a reference to the angel of destruction whom the rabbis called Mashhith.


I had read  somewhere before that not everyone who left Egypt with Moses and the Israelites were allowed to enter the promised land, which was one of the reasons God took so long getting them there. All of the original warriors from Egypt had to die before the Israelites could enter. The warriors were too hardened and would not obey God. I had no idea, however, that it was only two people, Joshua and Caleb, from the original group that left Egypt, including Israelites, who were allowed to enter the promised land (along with others who were born during the 40-year trip). See v. 5 above, and footnote 3.

The road to hell is wide and easy to find, but the road that leads to eternal salvation is narrow and difficult to follow, and few will find it. Matthew 7:13-14 These are not just words. Think about it. How could it be narrow and difficult to follow if all you have to do is say, I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior? That is easy, but it is just the first step. Anyone can speak words. But, can we obey God? That is what the Scripture repeatedly tells us to do, the apostles and God's prophets in the Bible tell us to do, Jesus Christ himself tells us to do, obey God:

​"
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.

Do we think that God is not talking to us, that He is talking to someone else? 
Awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]' before it is too late. Also see my blog titled, 'Are You a Lukewarm Christian?'

The world is broken, but YOU are not. God is moulding us. Let the pieces that no longer serve God fall off. Let God mould you into His Will, and 
'Become, Become, Become.' (See "Become" poem by clicking here.)

Let us all pray that God's children, His chosen, every one, awaken from their sleep of spiritual complacency, are not too hardened to obey Him, and will all be allowed to enter into the promised land. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and obey God's precepts and commands. All glory and honor and praise and thanksgiving to the living God, the great I Am. In Jesus' name. Amen.

​

"THE DEMONS ARE OUT"

Video uploaded May 16, 2021, from mrmbb333 on youtube.

“'Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has demanded permission to sift [all of] you like grain;" ​Luke 22:31

Separating the wheat from the chaff!

Put on your seatbelts, and hold onto your hats, this is a doozy! Thank you, Father God.

First, praise God, the Most High, the Great, I Am! Heavenly Father, let Your Will be done, and not our own, and let those with minds to understand hear with their ears. In Jesus' name. Amen!

The evening of March 19, 2021 (yep, March) in my sleep, God told me, "The demons are out." I was not fearful; I really had no emotion or feelings about it, except, Oh boy, what am I going to do with that information?  So, on March 20, I opened a blog post, put only the title, The Demons Are Out, and then saved it, but did not post it, just so I could save the date and God's Word.

Now, I may have done some research at the time, and I am sure I prayed on it, but, honestly, I was not even sure I wanted to pursue it, because if I did, God would most certainly make me write about it. Forgive me, Lord, for not posting it sooner.

There have been a couple of times over the last two years, since God has been speaking to me, that I have felt like I may be losing my mind, but God always reassures me through His presence in my life, and signs and wonders around the world, that I am most definitely not crazy, and that He is using me. Hallelujah! Praise God! Thank you, Jesus!

Now, over the months since I created the saved document, The Demons Are Out, but never posted it, I have opened it occasionally, only to see a completely blank document, except for the title. Then, I would quickly close it, and move on.

On December 9, 2021, however, I opened the saved document yet again, and something [God] told me to do an internet search for "what happened on this day," March 19, 2021.

"
Icelandic volcano Fagradalsfjall erupts for the first time in 800 years and after more than 50,000 earthquakes."

Also, see videos above concerning the volcano eruption, as well as the freak storm in Southern California.


I mean, you cannot make this stuff up. If that does not sound like, The Demons Are Out, then I do not know what would. So, I wrote this blog on December 9, 2021, but still did not post it ... until today. If only I had faith the size of a mustard seed.

The skeptic in me said to myself, but that could mean anything, or nothing at all.

Then, on December 19, 2021, I was reading through some of my previous posts for some reason, and I came across these blogs from February 2021:

Breastplate of Righteousness, dated February 4, 2021, followed by, Breastplate of Judgment, dated February 6, 2021: 

In the Breastplate of Righteousness post, God also showed me a single, big, bold lightning bolt. In addition to God controlling the weather, including the lightning, as I wrote previously in Breastplate of Righteousness, Satan, the greatest demon of all, was cast out of heaven and fell like lightning! "And he [Jesus] said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." Luke 10:17

Both of those words in February are about God's judgment, and, then, The Demons Are Out on March 19, 2021.

Now, how does God judge people in the Bible? In Exodus 12:23 "For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you."

This is where we get the Jewish celebration of Passover, because the destroyer 'passed over' the Israelites homes. At that time, they used the blood of animals to mark the lintel of their doors, to keep the destroyer away.


Now, we have the New Covenant of the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, once and for all. Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus! Amen.

Who or what is the Destroyer? 

Courtesy of:  www.biblegateway.com


THE DESTROYER

A superhuman being, used as an instrument of God’s wrath in the execution of His judgment. It is difficult to say whether this is a good angel used by God as an agent of destruction, or Satan or one of his minions. If a good angel, God could use it to bring both blessing and destruction.


The term is used only twice (Exod 12:23 [cf. Heb 11:28]; 1 Cor 10:10). In the Exodus passage, it is used in connection with the tenth plague of Egypt, the destruction of the Egyptian first-born. In the 1 Corinthians passage Paul warned against grumbling, as some Israelites did in the wilderness and were destroyed by the Destroyer. It is thought by some that the Destroyer referred to by Paul was the fiery serpents God sent to bring death to the complaining Israelites.

In the time of David the Lord sent an angel to smite the people by means of a plague because David had made a census of the people (2 Sam 24:16). In Hezekiah’s time in a single night an angel destroyed 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp (2 Kings 19:35). The prophet Ezekiel saw in a vision a number of angels executing judgment upon Jerusalem and Judah (Ezek 9:5-7). The psalmist petitioned that the angel of the Lord would drive his enemies like dust before the wind (Ps 35:5, 6). The composer of Psalm 78:49 believed that angels could smite one’s enemies upon God’s command. In the OT Apoc., Jeremiah warned that the angel of God who was with the Israelites would punish them if they apostatized (Ep Jer 6:5-7), and in 2 Maccabees 3:24-26, Heliodorus was whipped by angels when he attempted to plunder the Temple at Jerusalem.

END QUOTE


This is not a surprise to me. God's Word to me has followed a pattern: Repent, turn away from sin, judgment, and the harvest. 


One of the first things God put on my heart back in 2020 is that this is a Spiritual War. A Spiritual War is not in the physical realm, but in the Spiritual realm. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12

He put on my heart that He is drawing a line with his finger in stone, a line between good and evil, God and Satan, so that EVERYONE should be able to see on which side they are.

And, because He is gracious and forgiving, and never allows us to be tempted more than we can withstand, and because He wants us ALL to return to Him, He is simultaneously pouring out His Spirit on the World. 


“For to everyone who has [and values his blessings and gifts from God, and has used them wisely], more will be given, and [he will be richly supplied so that] he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have [because he has ignored or disregarded his blessings and gifts from God], even what he does have will be taken away." Matthew 25:29

He put on my heart that He is separating the wheat (the good) from the chaff (the evil).

Luke 22:31 “'Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has demanded permission to sift [all of] you like grain;'"

'Sift all of you like grain': Separating the wheat from the chaff.


The time is at hand for burning up the chaff. The Demons Are Out!

"Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." Matthew 3:12

Do you have the blood of Jesus Christ protecting your home? protecting the lintel of your door? 

But the righteous shall be held blameless.

Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? If not, or if you are not sure, say 'A Prayer For Salvation' below, out loud, and ask Jesus to forgive your for your sins. Accept Him and He will accept you! Amen.

A Prayer For Salvation

Heavenly Father, the living God, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ, Yeshua, Marvelous, Counsellor, Prince of Princes, King of Kings. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived. I ask for your forgiveness.


I believe with all my heart and soul that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sins, and rose again.

I am now willing to turn from my sin, to repent.

You said in the Bible, Your Holy Word, that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.

Right now, I confess Jesus is my Lord and Savior, without which I am but sinful flesh. With all of my heart, I believe that our Heavenly Father, the living God, raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. 

​Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

JESUS IS SAD AND GRIEVED

1/6/2022

Revelation 19

11 "
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 

12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 

13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 

14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 

15 Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 

16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS."


Heavenly Father, thank you thank you thank you, for so many blessings you bestow upon us. Let your words flow through me, and not my own, and let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus' name. Amen.

I dreamed about Jesus last night. He was on a white horse, and had a sword in his hand. He was deeply saddened and grieved, because many people, too many, still have not remembered who they are in Him, and they do not understand that He is not coming to bring peace. He is coming to punish the sinners. 

"And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal." Matthew 25:46 

Unfortunately, now more than ever, there is a lot of false "Christian" preaching and teaching, basically outright lying to people, so they continue to attend a church. It will be worse for the people who cause God's little ones to stumble. 

"It would be better for him if a millstone [as large as one turned by a donkey] were hung around his neck and he were hurled into the sea, than for him to cause one of these little ones [believers] to stumble [in sin and lose faith]." Luke 17:2


PRAY for false church leaders, and their flocks. 


SEPARATING THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF

JESUS IS NOT COMING TO BRING PEACE


Matthew 10

34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword [of division between belief and unbelief]. 

35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

​36 and a man’s enemies will be the members of his [own] household [when one believes and another does not]."

We can see from this scripture that Jesus warned of these times. Families are more divided now than ever before, quite literally divided between good and evil, God and Satan. God has truly separated the wheat from the chaff. See my blog from December 2020 titled, "The Narrow Gate" here.

PRAY for friends, families, false prophets, lost church leaders, federal, state, local and world leaders to wake up and remember who they are in Jesus Christ.

So, in my dream last night, Jesus was sad and grieved, because He wants all men to come to repentance, return to Him and escape death. "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9

Indeed, "The Harvest Has Begun" (see my blog about here), as God put on my heart in February 2021. God's children, believers, who have turned their lives over to Jesus Christ, in full obedience, are reaping bountiful harvests, some an hundredfold, some sixty and some thirty, in terms of abundance, prosperity, gifts, talents, miracles, signs and wonders. Hallelujah! Amen.

I heard a prophet say the other day that God said that 2022 will be a 'year of reckoning.' In other words, God has judged this generation, and is now repaying each individual according to his/her fruit, which are our thoughts, words, deeds and actions. He who sows iniquity or trouble will reap a harvest of woe or trouble. In other words, The Harvest Has Begun, and we will reap what we have sown. Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap."

Do you feel God's love and presence? If not, start habits in your life that sow seeds of righteousness, and bring even your very thoughts into captivity unto the obedience of Christ.

"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

CAIN AND ABEL

"The [intrinsically] good man produces what is good and honorable and moral out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart; and the [intrinsically] evil man produces what is wicked and depraved out of the evil [in his heart]; for his mouth speaks from the overflow of his heart." Luke 6:45


All glory and honor and praise and thanksgiving to God, Most High, the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.

Heavenly Father, let your words continue to flow through me, and not my own. In Jesus' sweet name. Amen!

This is something God has been putting on my heart since at least the beginning of December, but just this morning, lying in bed, half asleep, He pulled it together for me.

God is Great - All The Time!

CAIN AND ABEL

We can see God's system of obedience at work in the story of Cain and Abel. 

"Woe to them! For they have gone the [defiant] way of Cain. . ." Jude 1:11

What was the "[defiant] way of Cain"? Throughout scripture, both the Old and the New Testament, we are told repeatedly that we should love our neighbor.​ Jesus specifically tells us to love God and love our neighbor, above all else:

Matthew 22

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."

We are also told to "Honor the Lord with your substance, and with the firstfruits of all your increase:" Proverbs 3:9

Having read the book of Genesis at least a few times in the last few years, I still never understood why God did not respect Cain's offering, even though the words were right there the whole time.

Genesis 4

2 ". . . And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.

4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?

7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lies at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him."

​Let's look at Genesis 4:3, "And in the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground."

Cain offered the fruit of the ground. We can see Cain was not honoring God with the "firstfruits" of his increase, but he offered only the fruit of the ground, which could have been anything, most certainly not his firstfruits, or it would have been so written.

The firstfruits are to be from excess, surplus, not from the leftovers. Cain was honoring God only for what he thought he could get from it, not from his heart, in full obedience to God, loving Him with his heart, mind and soul. God knows our hearts. 

On the other hand, we see that Abel offered his firstborn (firstfruits), his excess, not his leftovers, AND He gave an offering of fat, which would later, in Leviticus, be reserved as an "offering to God, especially for sin": 

"But Abel brought [an offering of] the [finest] firstborn of his flock and the [b]fat portions. And the Lord had respect (regard) for Abel and for his offering;" Genesis 4:4

Footnotes: biblegateway:com
[b] ​Genesis 4:4 That is, the fat that covered the entrails of the animals. Later, in the Mosaic Law, the Israelites were forbidden to eat this fat (Lev 7:23), which was reserved as an offering to God, especially for sin (Lev 4:8, 26, 35; 9:10; 16:25).

Let's look further at the transgressions of Cain: Cain was the tiller of the ground. Abel was a shepherd, a keeper of the animals. When it came time for them to make offerings to God, Cain gave of his crops, and Abel gave of the firstfruits of his flock. God respected Abel's offering. He did not respect Cain's offering. Why?

God wants us to understand that Cain's heart was not right with God. Cain tried to convince Abel to give him an animal, or trade or barter crops for an animal, and Abel would not agree. Why would Abel not make the trade with Cain? Because Abel knew that Cain's heart was not right with God. He knew that Cain was just going through the motions, so to speak, in order to receive God's grace or favor. Abel knew that Cain did not want the animal to sacrifice for forgiveness of his sins, but only for what rewards he thought he may receive from God for the sacrifice.

Abel was righteous. He had God's Word stored in his heart, and followed His Word, so that he would not sin against God. Psalm 119:11 above.

Cain was not righteous, although he too had God's Word stored in his heart, or at least knew right from wrong, as shown in Genesis 4:7, when God says, "If you do well, shall you not be accepted? and if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. . ." So, he knew to do well, and what the consequences were. He was, however, of that "wicked one": "Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous." 1 John 3:12 

Adam and Eve chose sin over the light and love God offered, the [intrinsically evil man over the intrinsically good man]. They chose our path for us initially, but we are suppose to be the Light of the World, to rise above the lusts of the flesh, and the evil of this world. God is good, and everything He created is perfect, and designed to move man toward Him, back to His glory. 

​So, Cain was of that 'wicked one,'​ and was trying to deceive God, and climb into heaven some other way than through the door: “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up from some other place [on the stone wall], that one is a thief and a robber." John 10:1

Basically, Cain was trying to reap the benefits of righteousness without actually sowing the proper seeds: walking with, knowing, following and being obedient to God.

We know that Cain knew the right thing to do, and chose not to do it: "If you do well, will you not be accepted? and if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. . ."

God was reminding Cain that he knew right from wrong, that he should do what he knew to be right, and thereby overcome man's tendencies towards stubbornness and evil thoughts, and, rather, be obedient to God, to accomplish God's Will, like Abel. Otherwise, sin was at the door, and he would rule over it. ". . . And unto you shall be his [sin's] desire, and you shall rule over him [sin]." Genesis 4:7

Now, in Genesis 4:8, we see that Cain talked with Abel and then slew him. "And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him."

Clearly, it seems as if that sentence is missing the crux. What prompted Cain to kill Abel? The scripture says, Cain talked with Abel his brother, and, later in the field, Cain slew him. What was their conversation? Well, Abel knew that Cain's heart was not right with God, so the "talk" they had went something like this:

Cain said, Hey, Abel, I need a flawless, unblemished, sheep for a sacrifice to the Father.

Abel (Knowing Cain's heart) replied, Okay, sure, brother. Let us go to the field and pick a sheep.

(Later in the field)

Abel (Knowing Cain's heart), Picked out the worst possible sheep he could find, and gave it to Cain, saying, Here is the perfect sheep for you!

Cain cried out, This sheep is sick and weak and blemished!
​
Abel (Knowing Cain's heart) replied, Yes! That is the perfect sheep for you!

Cain became enraged and killed Abel, and became the first man to shed innocent human blood.
 
Now, we know from scripture that Abel was "righteous," but was he completely innocent? The bible also says that King David was righteous, but he murdered Uriah so he could have his wife.

Why did King David murder Uriah? We can see in 2 Samuel 11:4-9 here that after Bathsheba told King David that she was pregnant, King David tried to get Uriah to go home, presumably so he would be with his wife, and then would believe that the child was his own. Uriah had been away from home, at war for King David, for some time, so the child his wife was carrying could not have been his own. This is a great example of how sin leads to other sin. Perhaps, King David did not want his child to be a known bastard. Clearly, what he did, he did for the child.

This shows us that God is a very forgiving God, that He knows our hearts, and He will have compassion and mercy on whom He chooses.

“I, the Lord, search and examine the mind, I test the heart . . . " Jeremiah 17:10

Back to Cain and Abel: Had Abel followed God's Word in his heart fully, he would have trusted God, and given Cain 100 flawless, unblemished, sheep when he asked for 1, and he would have still been alive to tell the story to his grandchildren. God judges on the heart. If the person receiving our gift is unworthy, God will repay each person accordingly. Luke 6:38  
 
He knows our hearts, and he knew that Abel had honorable motives, when he denied Cain the flawless, unblemished, animal. He was doing it to prevent Cain from deceiving God. Abel failed to realize, however, that God already knew this. God knows our hearts. He judges. He repays. Vengeance is mine says the Lord. Romans 12:19

​THE BLOOD SACRIFICE

If God were not so forgiving of our sins, none of us would have salvation, because we are all born flesh and blood sinners, and must be ‘born again’ in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus.

Hebrews 12:24 below tells us that the blood sacrifice of Jesus was merciful, better and nobler, a more gracious message, which cried out for God to forgive men because "they know not what they do," Luke 23:34, as opposed to Abel, whose blood [sacrifice] cried out to God for vengeance.

"and to Jesus, the Mediator of a new covenant [uniting God and man], and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks [of mercy], a better and nobler and more gracious message than the blood of Abel [which cried out for vengeance]." Hebrews 12:24

Cain killed Abel, because God required a blood sacrifice. Cain's heart was not right with God, so Abel would not give him a 'flawless, unblemished' animal to sacrifice. Cain, in a fit of rage, killed him as THE blood sacrifice to God. This is why God says, ". . . What have you done? The voice of your brother’s [innocent] blood is crying out to Me from the ground [for justice]." Genesis 4:10

And, also, why Jesus’ ultimate blood sacrifice is compared to Cain’s sacrifice of Abel’s blood in Hebrews 12:24 above.
 
God is Great - All the Time!
 
I pray that we all turn back to God, in full surrender, so that our hearts are right with Him. "Change your hearts, and show by the way you live that you have changed." Matthew 3:8

All glory and honor and praise and thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father, the source of all things, and the cohesive force holding all things together, and to whom we return, in Jesus Christ!
 
Hallelujah! Praise God! Thank you, Jesus!
 
Amen.

GOD'S PLAN FOR MAN

12/22/2021

"He is not here: for he is risen. . ." Matthew 28:6



Last night 12/21/21, I dreamed all night again, this time of "The Resurrection." It was the same kind of dream as "Christmas Magic," which I wrote about a few days ago.

Update: 12/25/21: I just realized the date 12/21/21 adds up to 333, a number thought to represent Jesus Christ: 
(1+2=3, 1+2=3, 2+1=3 (333). ​You can't make this stuff up.

The dream last night about the resurrection really felt like it had something to do with the "Christmas Magic" story. Again, there were no pictures or visions that are clear to me, or that I remember, but a feeling of amazement, as if perhaps I was witnessing resurrections, and the words "The Resurrection" over and over and over again.

Heavenly Father, hear my prayers. Let Your words flow through me, and not my own, and let Your children hear them. In Jesus' name. Amen.

So, what was God’s plan for man? The book of Titus tells us that it was eternal life:
 
Titus 1:2 “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;”
 
So, God promised [man] eternal life before the world began, and we know also that He has only thoughts of peace towards man, to give us an expected end … eternal life:
 
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11
 
Amen.
 
Now, Colossians 1 tells us that everything was created,
 
BY HIM
 
THROUGH HIM
 
FOR HIM, and
 
IN HIM
 
Colossians 1
 
16 “For by Him all things were created in heaven and on earth, [things] visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [that is, by His activity] and for Him.
 
17 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.]
 
Think of it like a movie: God is the creator/writer and director, and everyone and everything, earthly and heavenly beings, is there to perform God’s Will, like actors in His movie.
 
BY HIM
 
THROUGH HIM
 
FOR HIM, and
 
IN HIM
 
His Will, before the world began, was that man, who was created from the dust of the earth, would have access to eternal life. So, every life force in the universe is pushing man towards God’s Will, from one degree of glory to more glory, from imperfection to perfection [which is eternal life].
 
“And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18
 
Every life force in heaven and in ​and on earth is pushing man towards God’s Will, including Satan and his minions.
 
Think of God's Plan like a movie, God's movie. At first viewing of God’s movie, Satan and his minions appear to be the antagonists in the movie, the evil villains, and by all rights and definition, they are evil. The real antagonist in the movie, however, is sin and through sin, death.
 
Now, we know from scripture that God is perfect, and everything He created is good:
 
God is perfect: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Matthew 5:48

And, everything He created is good: “For everything God has created is good. . .” 1 Timothy 4:4
 
Therefore, we should have faith to believe that Satan was created exactly how God planned it: Perfect in all his ways until iniquity was found in him. “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.” Ezekiel 28:15


Is this not why even the Archangel Michael dared not accuse the devil (Satan), but simply said, "The Lord rebuke you"? Jude 1:9

Jude 1

8 "Nevertheless in the same way, these dreamers [who are dreaming that God will not punish them] also defile the body, and reject [legitimate] authority, and revile and mock angelic majesties.

9 But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil (Satan), and arguing about the body of Moses, did not dare bring an abusive condemnation against him, but [simply] said, 'The Lord rebuke you!'

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."

But these men sneer at anything which they do not understand . . . by these things they are destroyed. Jude 1:10

In other words, we should not sneer at things we do not understand in God's Word, lest by so doing, we destroy ourselves.

How could we be 'born again,' unless we first died? 

1 Corinthians 15


35 "But someone will say, 'How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body will they come?' 

36 You fool! Every time you plant seed you sow something that does not come to life [germinating, springing up and growing] unless it first dies."

It took me a little minute to understand what he was saying, but if you think about it, when you plant a seed, the outer shell must die for the seed to break through and grow. Right now, we are still in our seed, our shell. Our outer shell must die, our flesh, so that we can come to life in Jesus Christ, the resurrection.


So, we were created perfect, like God, in light and love, planted in the dirt and raised up with God's breathe. Now, through sin and death, we die, spiritually and literally, and are 'born again' in Christ, whom is the Word made flesh.

How many people know that God never promised in His Word a good time for bad people? The way of the ungodly will perish. Psalm 1:6  -  It will not be a good time for the wicked. The Bible is clear on this fact.
 
God is good, all the time - to His chosen people - but, when He comes again, the ungodly will perish.
 
His children, however, are protected from harm in Jesus Christ: Jesus said, “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

If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior, God has given you an engraved invitation, written in the blood of His only begotten son. Did you RSVP by accepting Him and believing in Him? Have you surrendered your life in full obedience to God?

God promised eternal life before the world began, but “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 15:50
 
Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, except through eternal life, also called ‘the resurrection,’ who is Jesus Christ.
 
“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” John 11:25
 
JESUS CHRIST IS THE RESURRECTION!!
 
In other words, through God's brilliant plan for man, sin entered the world, which is the antagonist (the bad guy) in His movie, and through sin death entered, through death, eternal life in the resurrection, which is Jesus Christ, whom is the protagonist (the good guy) in the movie. 

“Jesus says unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life [the resurrection]: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6
 
Jesus Christ, who is the resurrection, is God’s promise of eternal life before the world began. We are ‘born again’ now through His Word, His system on earth, but later, at the end, we will be ‘born again,’ in the resurrection, who is Jesus Christ.
 
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 now or then!


How can we be ‘born again' unless we first die, to be resurrected incorruptible and immortal, and to ascend on the clouds with Jesus? “For this corruptible [man] must put on incorruption, and this mortal [man] must put on immortality.” 1 Corinthians 15:53

God's movie is unique, in that our free will lets us write our ending: In both endings, man dies; there is no escaping that, but in one ending, death leads us through the fire, and in the other ending, death leads to eternal life, the resurrection, who is Jesus Christ.

Which ending do you choose? Bow to Jesus and confess to God now . . .

"
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

GOD IS GOOD - ALL THE TIME!

All glory and honor and praise and thanksgiving to God, Most High, the creator of the heavens and the earth.

​Amen!

FEAST AND FAMINE

Choose God




You know those people who say God is a myth, a fairy tale, sky daddy? First, if you know God, you know you know God. The more God plays out in my daily life, the more I want to shout it from the housetops!!

Over the last couple of years, God has been very active in my life, to say the least. My journey has been from full-blown, active and willing sinner, to faithful servant of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and our heavenly Father.

God gave my husband and I messages last year, however, of which I did not write about, because, as I have said before, sadly, I do not have the faith of a mustard seed.

But, no matter how stiff-necked (stubborn) man is, if God has a Word to be said, He will insure it is said. Hallelujah! Praise God!

This story begins in 2020.

Last year, God gave my husband a vision of a silo, and he started talking about building a silo. We soon realized that was not feasible, primarily because we do not have room to grow enough of anything to fill a silo. But, God had planted the seed in our thoughts and hearts, and, almost simultaneously, God put a spirit of preparing (storing food and necessities) in me. I struggled with this concept at first, because Jesus said, “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:” Matthew 6:20

Then, God gave me a vision one night: I was washing dishes, and I began washing with a large, full bottle of dish detergent, and when I was through washing, the bottle was half empty. That would be a lot of dishes. So, I then knew that God was having us store food, because a time was coming when people would need it.

All of this happened last year, and we have been prepping ever since then. I bought a dehydrator, and then two dehydrators. Recently, I bought a pressure canner. 

In addition to storing food, I was drawn to learning about medicinal, delicious and nutritious weeds that grow in the backyard, and even cultivating some weeds, and collecting seeds from them for next year. And, we planted 13 fruit trees. 

Now, everyone may not have room to grow all of that outside, but you do not need to have a lot of room. We also started learning to cultivate food inside the house. We actually started hydroponics a few years ago, to see how it would go, and, surprisingly, the plants got big over the winter, but then I planted them outside in the spring. But, I now know for sure that I can grow brassica (broccoli, cabbage, etc.) greens inside the house, in water.... and also in dirt (in the house). The leaves of the broccoli plant are just as delicious and nutritious as the actual broccoli itself.

So, plant a tree . . . or, even a weed, grow something, inside or outside!

​Now, what does the Bible say about famine in the land?

Seven Years of Feast - Seven Years of Famine

Genesis 41

29 "Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;

31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous."

This morning, God showed me the following Scripture from Jeremiah 14, which is in line with God's Word to me at the beginning of the year regarding Jeremiah 4. You can read about it by clicking here. The entire Book of Jeremiah describes God's wrath to come, but Jeremiah 4 and Jeremiah 14, is what He has shown me.

Famine and the False Prophets

Jeremiah 14


False Prophets

13 "But I said, Alas, Lord God! Behold, the [false] prophets are telling them, ‘You will not see the sword nor will you have famine, but I [the Lord] will give you lasting peace in this place.’ 

14 Then the Lord said to me, 'The [counterfeit] prophets are prophesying lies in My Name. I have neither sent them nor authorized them nor spoken to them. They are prophesying to you made-up visions [pretending to call forth responses from handmade gods], a worthless divination and the deceit of their own mind.

15 Therefore, thus says the Lord concerning the [false] prophets who are prophesying in My Name, although I did not send them—yet they keep saying, 'Sword and famine shall not be in this land’: by sword and famine those prophets shall meet their end and be consumed.

16 And the people to whom they are prophesying will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and sword; and they will have no one to bury them—neither them, nor their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters. For I will pour out their [own] wickedness on them [and not only on the imposters posing as prophets, for the people could not have been deceived without their own consent].'"


The Blameless Will be Satisfied

Psalm 37

16 "Better is the little of the righteous [who seek the will of God]

Than the abundance (riches) of many wicked (godless).

17 For the arms of the wicked will be broken,

But the Lord upholds and sustains the righteous [who seek Him].

18 The Lord knows the days of the blameless,

And their inheritance will continue forever.

19 They will not be ashamed in the time of evil,

And in the days of famine they will have plenty and be satisfied."


20 But the wicked (ungodly) will perish,

And the enemies of the Lord will be like the glory of the pastures and like the fat of lambs [that is consumed in smoke],

They vanish—like smoke they vanish away.

21 The wicked borrows and does not pay back,

But the righteous is gracious and kind and gives.

22 For those blessed by God will [at last] inherit the land,

But those cursed by Him will be cut off."


"The Lord knows the days of the blameless . . . And in the days of famine they will have plenty and be satisfied."


Acts 3

19 "So repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins] and return [to God—seek His purpose for your life], so that your sins may be wiped away [blotted out, completely erased], so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord [restoring you like a cool wind on a hot day];

20 and that He may send [to you] Jesus, the Christ, who has been appointed for you,

21 whom heaven must keep until the time for the [complete] restoration of all things about which God promised through the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.

22 Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your countrymen; you shall listen to Him and obey everything He tells you.

23 And it will be that every person that does not listen to and heed that Prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.’

24 Indeed, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also announced these days.

25 You are the sons (descendants) of the prophets and [heirs] of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed (descendant) all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’

26 It was for you first of all that God raised up His Servant and Son [Jesus], and sent Him to bless you by turning every one of you from your wicked ways.”


Matthew 13:15

"'For this nation’s heart has grown hard,

And with their ears they hardly hear,

And they have [tightly] closed their eyes,

Otherwise they would see with their eyes,

And hear with their ears,

And understand with their heart, and turn [to Me]


And I would heal them [spiritually].’"


Isaiah 45:17 

"Israel has been saved by the Lord

With an everlasting salvation;

You will not be put to shame or humiliated for all eternity."

​
Isaiah 45:22 “Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other."


Choose God and His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, or Go To Hell. There is no other choice.
​

Today's Prayer: www.blessedbeliever.com

Oh, Heavenly Father, living God, most gracious, just and merciful, we pray that You continue to shine Your Light on the heavens and the earth, exposing all darkness, from east to west and north to south. Shine Your Light into the hearts of Your children, waking them out of their slumber in Jesus.

Father, I thank you for waking me up, and for not giving up on me. You are a patient and loving Father, and we know that you want all of your sheep to find the way back to Your Flock. We pray for Your Great Awakening of the World, and the Great Harvest promised by You through Your Word and Prophets, thirty-, sixty- or an hundredfold. Hallelujah! 

Father, we pray that Your children everywhere find you, come back to you, and are healed, before the fury of your recompense on the World.

Father, we know we have broken your laws and our sins have separated us from you. We are truly sorry, and now we want to turn away from our past sinful life toward you.

Please forgive us, and help us avoid sinning again. We believe that your son, Jesus Christ, died for our sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears our prayers. We invite Jesus to become the Lord of our lives, to rule and reign in our hearts, from this day forward.

Please send your Holy Spirit to help us obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of our lives.

We pray for all of these things in Jesus' name.

Hallelujah! Praise God, Most High, the Great I Am, the creator of the heavens and the earth, our heavenly Father. 

Amen! Amen! Amen!

WHITE AS SNOW

First, it cannot be said enough that prayer is amazing. Both of the following Scriptures are just and true:

"And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive." Matthew 21:22

“And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.” 1 John 3:22

All Glory to God in the Highest. Hallelujah!

So, on to "White as Snow." Last weekend, I got out of bed to pray during the evening, as I sometimes do, although not as often as I know that I should. I prayed for God to give me insight into what was going on at that moment in the world, in His Plan. I also prayed to see His face and have His loving arms wrapped around me. I prayed for many things, but those two are related to this story. Then, I went back to bed, and to sleep.

At some point after that, God gave me a vision, where I looked out a window and saw snow. I did not even have to pull out my Bible and research Scripture to know that He had answered both of my questions or requests.

In the Bible, snow represents the cleansing of sin: "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." Isaiah 1:18


So, first, God is cleansing sin in the world and in America.

Snow also represents the image of God: "His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire." Revelation 1:14

Honestly, God could not have picked a better image with which to show me Himself. The first snows of the year always make me smile, and make me feel warm and fuzzy. Thank you, Lord. 

And, so second, we know that He answers prayers with amazing consideration and love.

He truly is great all of the time! Hallelujah! Praise God.

ALGORITHM IS NOT MAN'S RHYTHM

"ALGORITHM IS NOT MAN'S RHYTHM" AUDIO BLOG

"MASSIVE ASH AND DUST STORM
WHIPS INTO TEXAS AHEAD OF TORNADOES"
​March 17, 2021

OVER 52 VOLCANOES
​ERUPTING WORLDWIDE

MAN, THE FINAL FRONTIER?
​Click image for article from Newsweek

Picture
"SpaceX has received regulatory approval from the Federal Communications Commission to deploy up to 12,000 satellites, and is planning to launch around 30,000 more."
Picture

"For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it." Jeremiah 4:28 (See the videos above about world and USA weather.) ​

So, what's all this about algorithms? Well, algorithm is not man's rhythm, the rhythm of life, given by God when He created all things. Algorithm is artificial intelligence: Like "The Terminator," I'll Be Back, SkyNet, take over the world, artificial intelligence ... or, at least the beginning of it.

Yesterday, I read that Elon Musk's Space-X sent 180 satellites into space in the last 10 days for the company, SatLink. (See article from Newsweek above.)  Seemed odd to me, but what do I know about satellites? The first thing that came to my mind was, it was bad enough we pollute the earth, now we are polluting outer space. Still a valid point, I think.

This morning, however, I saw a prophet say that God said, The rhythm of life flows along with us, flows right along with us, but the algorithm is death. And then he referred to Ecclesiastes 10:20 ". . . and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. . ."  "Bird of the air": Satellites?! ". . . that which hath wings shall tell the matter": cell phones, computers, artificial intelligence controlling our homes?! . . . The algorithm is death?!

Algorithm Definition: "A set of mathematical instructions or rules that, especially if given to a computer, will help to calculate an answer to a problem."

"The algorithm is death"!!

But, what exactly is God telling us? Clearly, it is a warning. "They" are listening to us! And, just like they spied on President Trump's campaign, we already know they ARE spying on us as well. It is no coincidence that it seems like you can merely think about something, and all of a sudden, the ads show up for it on your phone or computer. Now, they use these capabilities to get rich off of us with advertising, but God has shown us, through His prophet(s), that their capability and/or intent is to use this technology against us at some point in the future, to weed out dissenters, those who dare to deny them, their vaccinations, or their trampling of our Constitutional rights.

Thus, the Scripture, "and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber . . ." Because, just like China is rounding up its citizens now in 2021, and putting them in "Internment Camps," "for the common good," God is warning us to be careful of what we say, even in our own homes, lest we be "rounded up" as well. 

I know this sounds insane, but does it really? Think about it, look at the sequence of events I present herein, and God's Word to me over the last year in my blogs, most importantly do your own research, and determine for yourself.

For instance, as I was writing this, I was reminded of, and drawn back to, my blog titled, "The Angels Are Here," dated February 9, 2021, (Click here to see that blog), which is a breakdown of Jeremiah 4. I do feel God has been warning me over the last year, much the same as with Judah and Jerusalem in Jeremiah, He will not turn away His wrath, for our sins and iniquities are too great in His eyes and we have not repented, or turned away from our sin.

So, God will bring destruction to our cities, but not yet a full end; a remnant will remain to repopulate the earth. And we know from Scripture that God often uses our enemies to punish us. The algorithm is death.

Stay with me for a few minutes now, because I am going to pull together something else God gave me a few weeks ago, and which He is just now bringing together for me into a cohesive thought, story or plan.

So, yes, trouble is coming to America, and to the world, because God wants ALL of His children to return to Him, and to turn away from sin. Unfortunately, and sadly, in despair is when man turns to God the most, but this is not the end. Again, refer to Jeremiah 4. Not the end, and not at this time!?

So, in my sleep on the evening of February 21, 2021, God gave me the word "Josiah." Although I did not know specifically who Josiah was, I felt certain I would find him in the Bible, and I did, beginning at 2 Kings 22 and at 2 Chronicles 33:25, and Jeremiah also talks about Josiah at Jeremiah 3:6. I recommend everyone read these passages. Some theologians and scholars agree that Josiah, even though only eight years old when he began to rule, may have been God's second greatest king of Jerusalem, second only to King David, but even so, his greatness was not enough to quench God's anger at the evildoings of his grandfather, Manasseh.

The Scripture relevant to today's message, however, is as follows:

2 Kings 22: 16-20

16 "Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:

17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.

18 But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;

19 Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heard what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the Lord.

20 Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again."

"But to the king of Judah [a/k/a Josiah] [a/k/a Trump] which sent you to enquire of the Lord . . ." Not that Trump is actually Josiah reincarnated, but that God showed me Jeremiah and Josiah to show what is going to happen to the world, but not until after Trump finishes his second term, or, more likely, after his natural, peaceful death, as in Josiah.

So, now you know why it has taken me so long to write this blog. How do you write a blog to tell people destruction is coming? But, God kept giving me pieces over the last couple of weeks, until I had His full Word, which could no longer be denied.

Trump won. I know it. You know it. God knows it, too! (See above image of my Fakebook post above dated December 7, 2020.) "Trump won! (God Won!) Roe v. Wade will be overturned! Abortion will be abolished." This is what God told me after the fraudulent 2020 election. And, He has told MANY great prophets that Trump won two terms and that president number 46 does not exist at this time.

So, in conclusion, everything that God has shared with me, which I have written about in my blogs under "My Walk With God" above has pointed to one message: REPENT! Turn away from sin. This DOES NOT mean we have four years (until the end of Trump's second term), and/or until President Trump passes away, to "find God." No, God has made it clear to me, the time is at hand now to choose the narrow path: (see my blog here: "The Narrow Gate," and, I believe He has told me that, for those involved in this event, there will be no other opportunity in this lifetime to choose sides, good or evil.

Choose God Now! 

And, 

"Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me." Job 38:3

Our Prayer Today:

Psalm 18:1-50

1 "I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.

19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

24 Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

28 For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

31 For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God?

32 It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.

33 He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.

34 He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.

42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

46 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

47 It is God that avenges me, and subdues the people under me.

48 He delivers me from mine enemies: yea, thou lifts me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and shews mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore."

​Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

"THE HARVEST HAS BEGUN"

"THE HARVEST HAS BEGUN" AUDIO BLOG
(or read only below)

Picture



Last night, God gave me a vision of masses of hands in the air, moving about, no faces, just hands. And, then later, the words, "The Harvest Has Begun." Both of these were, again, only snapshots. I will have to write a blog soon on why I think God only gives me snapshots, but for now, let's see if we can decipher what He wanted me to know. First of all, the hands in the air, moving about, could be celebration, or weeping and gnashing of teeth, or, more likely, both.

He first led me to the Book of Isaiah this morning, so I must start there. Most of my blogs in "Walk With God" are along the same lines: God will not overlook sin; judgment; and, repentance.

This blog, however, and the last one, "The Angels are Here," are more about seedtime and harvest, and reaping what we sow. The time is at hand.

Isaiah 9:6-21

6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.

9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,

10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.

11 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;

12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

13 For the people turn not unto him that smites them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.

14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.

15 The ancient and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail.

16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.

17 Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

18 For wickedness burns as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.

19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.

20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:

21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still."

Isaiah 10:1-34

1 "Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.

6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

7 Howbeit he means not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few.

8 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings?

9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?

10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;

11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:

14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that hews therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shakes it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.

16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day;

18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer faints.

19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a child may write them.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.

22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.


  • Wesley's Notes on ​Isaiah 10:22: A remnant - Or, a remnant only. The consumption - The destruction of Israel was already decreed by the fixed counsel of God, and therefore must needs be executed, and like a deluge overflow them. Righteousness - With justice, and yet with clemency, inasmuch as he has spared a considerable remnant of them, when he might have destroyed them utterly.

23 For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.

24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.

25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

26 And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages:

29 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled.

30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.

31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.

32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

33 Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.

34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one."

Isaiah 10:20-34 Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710, at KingJamesBibleOnline.com.

"By our afflictions we may learn not to make creatures our confidence. Those only can with comfort stay upon God, who return to him in truth, not in pretense and profession only. God will justly bring this wasting away on a provoking people, but will graciously set bounds to it. It is against the mind and will of God that his people, whatever happens, should give way to fear. God's anger against his people is but for a moment; and when that is turned from us, we need not fear the fury of man. The rod with which he corrected his people, shall not only be laid aside, but thrown into the fire.

To encourage God's people, the prophet puts them in mind of what God had formerly done against the enemies of his church. God's people shall be delivered from the Assyrians. Some think it looks to the deliverance of the Jews out of their captivity; and further yet, to the redemption of believers from the tyranny of sin and Satan. And this, "because of the anointing;" for his people Israel's sake, the believers among them that had received the unction [anointing] of Divine grace. And for the sake of the Messiah, the Anointed of God.

Verses 28-34 are a prophetical description of Sennacherib's march towards Jerusalem, when he threatened to destroy that city. Then the Lord, in whom Hezekiah trusted, cut down his army like the hewing of a forest.

Let us apply what is here written, to like matters in other ages of the church of Christ. Because of the anointing of our great Redeemer, the yoke of every antichrist must be broken from off his church: and if our souls partake of the unction [anointing] of the Holy Spirit, complete and eternal deliverances will be secured to us."

So, what does all of this mean, and what does it have to do with "The Harvest Has Begun"? Well, plenty. He that sows iniquity or trouble will reap a harvest of woe or trouble. In other words, "The Harvest Has Begun," and we will reap what we have sown. Galatians 6:7 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap."

Proverbs 22:7-9 ERV

7 "The rich rule over the poor. The one who borrows is a slave to the one who lends.

8 Those who spread trouble will harvest trouble. In the end, they will be destroyed for the trouble they caused.

9 Generous people will be blessed, because they share their food with the poor."

God says, in Genesis 8:22, "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."

Gill's Expedition of the Entire Bible at
​biblehub.com/commentaries/genesis/8-22.htm

"Seedtime and harvest," in a mystic, Spiritual or supernatural (Godly) sense, denotes the continuance of the church of God in the world, as long as it endures, and its various changes or variations and revolutions. Sometimes, it is a time of sowing the precious seed of the Word; and sometimes it is an harvest, a gathering of souls into it. Sometimes, it is a winter season with it, and all things seem withered and dead; and at other times it is summer, and all things look smiling and cheerful. Sometimes, it is in a state of coldness and indifference, and at other times exposed to the heat of persecution, and more warm and zealous usually then. Sometimes, it is night with it, and sometimes day, and so it is like to be, until that state takes place described in Revelation 7:16.

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."

Good OR bad.

Luke 10:1-2 "After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest."

And, finally, 1 Corinthians 15:52 "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

His children, believers, who have been dead in Jesus Christ, are being [harvested] raised incorruptible, and being changed ... forever.


"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:57

And on the reverse side of the coin, Romans 1:28 “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;” And it will be that much harder, if not impossible, to turn back to Jesus and be healed.

"Change your hearts! And show by the way you live that you have changed." Matthew 3:8

Hallelujah! Praise God!

Our Prayer for You Today:

"Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
​
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." Hebrews 13:20-21

"THE ANGELS ARE HERE!"

2/9/2021

"THE ANGELS ARE HERE" AUDIO BLOG
(or read only below)

 

I woke up, in the wee hours (we don't have a clock in the bedroom, so I don't know exactly), maybe between 3:00 am to 5:00 am. My husband said something to me, and I said, "The Angels are Here." We went back to sleep. The next morning, I was at my computer, reading Scripture, and I remembered my exclamation last night, "The Angels are Here!"

I prayed for God to give me guidance on what Scripture He wanted me to refer to regarding "The Angels are Here!" And right away, the first Scripture I was directed to was Jeremiah 4. 
​
Following is a comprehensive breakdown from bible-studys.org:

Jeremiah Chapter 4:1-4: 

​1 "If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.

2 And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.

3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.

4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings."

These verses conclude the message begun at Jeremiah 3:6: "The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot."

In Jeremiah 4:3, we see an admonition to weed out totally their present practices and “break up” their “fallow ground,” or clear the field of weeds, and then “sow” or plant the new seeds of spiritual fruitfulness for God.

This has been God's message to me for the last year. We must turn back to God wholly and fully, in the full meaning of His Word, without lukewarmness, and without political correctness. God will not be politically correct when He comes to punish the sinners. We will see His full fury and recompense.

The path to heaven is narrow and difficult to follow for a reason. Few will find it. But the path to hell is wide, and many will find it.

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Matthew 7:13-14

And, following is a thorough examination of each verse in Jeremiah 4, which God led me to this morning to fulfill His message to me that "The Angels Are Here":

Jeremiah 4:1 "If thou wilt return, O Israel, says the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove."

"Abominations": Literally, things of shame, the idols which Israel had worshipped.

"Then shalt thou not remove": We see again, an offer from God to forgive them and start them all over. God will not take them back until they give up their idols. Repent! When they give up their idols, or turn away from sin, God will welcome them back.

And, Verse 2:

Jeremiah 4:2 "And thou shalt swear, The LORD lives, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory."

God’s covenant with Abraham had stressed that all peoples would be blessed through him, but Judah’s disobedience had prevented them from being the instrument of God’s blessing.

This is speaking of the promise God made to Abraham, that all the nations would be blessed through Him. There was only one condition: They must follow God with all their heart. Look at the following Scripture for insight into what God expected from them.

Romans 10:9 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." It is not enough to just believe in your heart. You must confess with your mouth.

Examining Verse 3:

Jeremiah 4:3 "For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns."

“Break up your fallow ground": Jeremiah appealed for a spiritual turnabout from sinful, wasteful lives. He pictured this as the plowing of ground, formerly hard and unproductive due to weeds, in order to make it useful for sowing.

Hear the Parable of the Sower, planting seeds, in Matthew 13:18-23:

18 "Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

19 When any one hears the word of the kingdom, and understands it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catches away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that hears the word, and anon with joy receives it;

21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but endures for a while: for when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, by and by he is offended.

22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it; which also bears fruit, and brings forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."

Continuing with Jeremiah 4:3, the word "fallow" in means freshly plowed, or to prepare the heart, or repent, turn away from sin, and then plant the seed of the Word. The heart unprepared, without repentance, will not receive the seed of the Word. It will be choked out with the cares of the world and the sins of the flesh.

And,

Jeremiah 4:4 "Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings."

“Circumcise”: It was also a symbol of the need for the heart to be cleansed from sin’s deadly disease. The really essential surgery needed to happen on the inside, where God calls for taking away fleshly things that keep the heart from being spiritually devoted to Him and from true faith in Him and His will.

As Apostle Paul said in Romans 2:29 "But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God."

Jeremiah later expanded on this idea:

Jeremiah 31:31-34

31 "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD::: 

​, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

32 "Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:

33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."

God selected the reproductive organ, as in surgical circumcision, as the location of the symbol for man’s need of cleansing for sin, because it is the instrument most indicative of his depravity, for by sexual sin, he reproduces generations of sinners.

Jeremiah said, “Circumcise yourselves to the Lord”, then added the more graphic phrase, “take away the foreskins of your heart.” This is the kind of internal, spiritual operation that only God can do.

We find in the Scripture above that God is not satisfied with just the formality of circumcision, but wanted the heart of the people to be pure. If they do not learn to follow God with all their heart, He will destroy them.

1 Samuel 12:24 "Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart; for consider how great things he hath done for you."
 
Jeremiah 4:5-8: God instructed Jeremiah to declare “for I will bring evil from the north” and destruction would come. The invasion might take the form of a foreign army, but the driving force would be “the fierce anger of the LORD.”

The rest of the Jeremiah 4 contains a new message emphasizing the proclamation of God’s judgment. The sounding of the “trumpet” was a well-known sign of danger in the ancient Near East (Hosea 5:8; 8:1; Joel 2:1) or Amos 3:6  "Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?"

The sounding of the trumpet could also mark a time of national, and personal, self-examination as shown in Joel 2:15-17

15 "Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

17 Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?"

Moving on to  Jeremiah 4:5 "Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defensed cities."

The Lord directs the prophet to lay before the people a view of their destruction as near at hand. Who calls upon some persons as a sort of heralds, to publish and declare in the land of Judea and Jerusalem what follows.

"Blow ye the trumpet in the land":  As an alarm of an approaching enemy, and of an invasion by him and of danger from him. And this was to be done, not in order to gather together, and put themselves in a posture of defense to meet the enemy and give him battle, but to get together that were in the fields, and in country villages, and hide themselves from him.

"Cry, gather together, and say": Or cry with a full mouth, with a loud voice, that all might hear, which shows imminent danger.

"Assemble yourselves and let us go into the defensed cities": Such as Jerusalem, and others, where they might think themselves safe and secure.

Matthew 24:16 "Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:"

This declaration to God was to be throughout their land. The blowing of the trumpet was for two things. It gathered them for worship or for war.
 
Jeremiah 4:6-7: “Evil from the north”: This evil is Babylon’s army which would invade from that direction. The “lion” on the prowl fit Babylon because of its conquering power, and Babylon was symbolized by the winged lions guarding its royal court. Many details in Jeremiah 4 graphically depict warriors in conquest.

Breaking down Verse 6:

Jeremiah 4:6 "Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction."

Not on the tower of Zion, but on some high place pointing to Zion, and directing the country people to flee thither for safety. For the setting up of the standard here is not for enlisting of soldiers in order to fight, but as a sign of danger, and a direction where to flee from it.

"Retire": Gather yourselves together in order to flee. Though some render it, "be ye strengthened"; take heart, and play the man. But this does not seem so agreeable to the context.

"Stay not": Or, "stand not." Stand not in the place ye are in, but move from it in all haste, because of present danger.

"For I will bring evil from the north”: From Babylon, as some have interpreted, which lay north to the land of Israel. And so designs the captivity Judah should be brought into there.

"And a great destruction" or, "breach," which the Babylonians should make on the inhabitants of Judea and Jerusalem.

The standard was to be raised pointing to Jerusalem or the church. The standard must be raised by God's people for others to follow. The road into Jerusalem that the enemy would come on, led to the north.

And, Verse 7:

Jeremiah 4:7 "The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant."

The descending judgment of Babylon is described as a “lion” coming up from his “thicket.”

The near interpretation is Nebuchadnezzar coming against them. Gentiles here, possibly means nations. The thicket could be hell, or place of destruction. Notice also where he came from. It was from his place. The land to be made desolate is Israel.

Moving on to Verse 8:

Jeremiah 4:8 "For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us."

“Sackcloth” was the traditional attire of grief and repentance. The sackcloth here is the garment of mourning. When the LORD is angry with His people, He will allow the enemy to attack them. God controls Satan the same as He controls everyone else. God can stop him at any time. 

And, Verse 9:

Jeremiah 4:9 "And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder."

Meaning, when Nebuchadnezzar should come up from Babylon into the land of Judea, and lay waste the cities thereof, and besiege Jerusalem.

"That the heart of the king shall perish": Meaning Zedekiah king of Judah, who should be in the utmost fright and consternation, not knowing what to do, being devoid both of wisdom and courage. “And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.”  Jeremiah 38:19
​

"And the heart of the princes": Who being seized with the same panic, and at their wits' end, would not be able to give any advice and counsel to the king. So that the people would have no help from the king and his nobles, in whom they put their confidence.

"And the priests shall be astonished": The idolatrous priests, whose service would now cease, and whose idols would not save them.

"And the prophets shall wonder": Also, false prophets, who prophesied peace, and now they shall see it was a lie they prophesied, since sudden destruction now comes upon them.

In a situation like this, the king has no more protection than the people. In many cases he has less. These heathen people will not respect the office of the priest either. God will allow this because He is angry with His people.

Verse 10:

Jeremiah 4:10 "Then said I, Ah, LORD GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reaches unto the soul."

Many suggestions have been given as to the meaning of this difficult verse. One theory builds upon a textual variant found in a few ancient manuscripts that reads “said they” for “said I,” attributing the words to Judah’s false leaders. Some lay great stress on Jeremiah’s exhausted emotions. Perhaps it is best to see the verse as an expression of Jeremiah’s realization that God, in His sovereign wisdom, was allowing Judah and Jerusalem to use their own destiny by believing their own lies, even though He continued to urge their repentance.

Jeremiah 4:14-18

14 "O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?

15 For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes affliction from mount Ephraim.

16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.

17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the Lord.

18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reaches unto thine heart."

Breaking down Verse 10: “Surely thou hast greatly deceived this people”:

Let's look at Habakkuk 1:12-17

12 "Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.

13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore look thou upon them that deal treacherously, and hold thy tongue when the wicked devours the man that is more righteous than he?

14 And makes men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?

15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.

16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.

17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?"

Like Habakkuk, Jeremiah was horrified at these words of judgment, contrasting the prevailing hope of peace. God is sometimes described as if doing a thing He merely permits, such as allowing false prophets, who delude themselves, to also deceive a sinful people into thinking peace would follow. God sees how people insist on their delusions, and lets it happen.

Jeremiah was not happy with his role, offering “peace” to the people while God was setting events in motion that would send them into exile. In the face of humanity’s persistent rebellion, God has determined that humans will be without excuse when judgment comes.

"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

God had promised there would be peace in Jerusalem. The problem is that God did not mean that very day, but a time in the future. It is as if Jeremiah was questioning God's intentions here. Men will try to bring peace to this region, but there will be no true peace until the King of Peace comes to the earth and establishes His kingdom. Then, there will be peace in Jerusalem.

Moving on to Verse 11:

Jeremiah 4:11 "At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,"

Though the revelation of the certainty of Judah's ruin forces from Jeremiah a cry of despair, yet it is but for a moment. He immediately returns to the delivery of God's message.

"A dry wind": Literally, A clear wind, which probably meant the Samum, a dry parching east wind blowing from the Arabian Desert, before which vegetation withers, and human life becomes intolerable.

"Not to fan": The Syrian farmers make great use of the wind for separating the chaff from the grain: but when the Samum blows, labor becomes impossible. It is not for use, but for destruction.

The Jews are like a hot wind that brings no blessing. This wind is not the wind of the Holy Spirit. This wind does not cleanse or bless. The wind of the Spirit comes from an unknown place and brings blessings. In verse 11, the wind comes from the mountain where the false gods were worshipped.

Next, Jeremiah 4:12 "Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them."

"From those places: Rather, "a wind fuller (that is, more impetuous), than those winds" which fan the corn.

"Unto me," "for Me": as My [God's] instrument for executing My [His] purpose.

"Sentence": Judgments against them. Jeremiah 1:16 "And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands." This is an ill wind that brings no good, for God is the One who brings judgment against them.

And, Verse 13:

Jeremiah 4:13 "Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled."

This verse notes the vast number, or the suddenness, of them.

Let's also look at Isaiah 60:1-3 for insight:

1 "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising."

And, Hebrews 12:1 "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,"

When not expected, clouds often rising all of a sudden, and overspreading the whole face of the heavens. Or rather, the great speed and swiftness with which Nebuchadnezzar shall march against them.

Isaiah 19:1 "The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD  rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it," or, as described by the swiftness of eagles in Jeremiah 48:8, "And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the Lord hath spoken."

And, continuing to breakdown Verse 13:

"His chariots shall be as a whirlwind": Which besides the swiftness notes also the confusion and amazement that they will cause.

"And the LORD discomfited [confused] Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet." Judges 4:15

"Woe unto us! for we are spoiled": The dreadful apprehensions that the people have of their woeful condition, or possibly the words of the prophet lamenting their misery.

Babylon does come against these people and overcomes them. We must remember that God brings this as judgment against His people. In the next few Scriptures, we will see God's power in the wind, or the whirlwind, and the elements in general.

Nahum 1:3 "The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet."

Matthew 24:30 "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."

Daniel 7:2 "Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea."

Job 38:35 "Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are?"

We can see from this, that it is God who controls the elements of the earth.

Moving on to Verse 14:

Jeremiah 4:14 "O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?"

“Wash”: Jeremiah continued to appeal for a dealing with sin so that national destruction might be averted while there was still time to repent.

"Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment." Jeremiah 4:20  (compare Jeremiah 7 and 26).

Jeremiah cries out to Jerusalem to repent and be saved. It is as if he is saying, why can't you see why this trouble is coming? They imagine a vain thing. They appear to be caught up in their own values, overlooking the needs of others.

God wants man to be saved so badly, that He sent His only Son to save us. Man has a part in his own salvation. He must wash in the blood of the precious Lamb.

And, Verse 15:

Jeremiah 4:15 "For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes affliction from mount Ephraim."

"Affliction": From a root signifying worthlessness, it is used both for wickedness and for misery. Thus, the "iniquity" of Judah proves also to be her "affliction," as being the cause of the ruin inflicted by the enemy.

It appears the enemy comes by the land of Dan and mount Ephraim. The affliction had already begun.

And next, Verse 16:

Jeremiah 4:16 "Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah."

These are either the nations in Judea, or these words are a proclamation, summoning in the nations by the Chaldeans, as it were, in pursuance of a commission from God, to bring great armies together against Jerusalem. Or they are the prophets turning away from Judah, as despairing of doing any good upon them, and calling for the nations to execute God’s sentence.

"Watchers": Military watchers, i.e. the Chaldean soldiers, that shall so carefully and watchfully encompass Jerusalem, that none shall escape. Possibly a metaphor from hunters, that in hunting their prey lay wait at every passage, that the game may not escape.

Also see, 2 Kings 25:4-5

4 "And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.

5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him."

And, continuing with Verse 16:

"Give out their voice": They will proclaim war against them, or a shout, either encouraging soldiers to the battle, or triumphing after the victory. Or the outcries that they will make, such as the Turks now make in their onsets.

"The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant." Jeremiah 2:15 

All of the countries surrounding Judah are to take notice of the fact of the attack against Judah. God allows them to speak evil about Judah, because He is angry with them. The Babylonians may be performing the physical battle, but it is really God who has come against Judah. He is using Babylon for His purpose.

And, next, Verse 17:

Jeremiah 4:17 "As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD."

As those that are set to watch a field, in which are fruit and corn of any sort, that thieves and robbers, and wild beasts, may not enter to waste and destroy, and are placed on all sides for that purpose. So the Chaldeans were round about Jerusalem, that none could make their escape out of it.

2 Kings 25:4 "And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain." 

Next,

"Because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD": It was not without reason that the LORD suffered the Chaldeans to come against Jerusalem, besiege and take it. The inhabitants of Jerusalem had rebelled against him, their King and their God. And, therefore, he delivers them up into the hands of another lord, a cruel one. They had provoked him to anger with their sins, and caused him to stir up his wrath against them in this way. Rebellion against a prince, or against a parent, is a provoking sin. 

1 Samuel 15:23 "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king."

They have surrounded her as the keepers of the field do. They rebelled against God, and God brought this punishment on them.
​
Next, Verse 18:

Jeremiah 4:18 "Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reaches unto thine heart."

The way in which they walked, which was an evil one, and the actions which they committed, their idolatries, backslidings and rebellions, before spoken of in this and the preceding chapter, were the cause of this siege, and those calamities coming upon them. They had none to blame but themselves. It was their own sinful ways and works which brought this ruin and destruction on them.

"This is thy wickedness," The fruit of thy wickedness; or, "this thy calamity": That is, is owing to these things; so the word is rendered in Psalm 141:5 "Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities."

"Because it is bitter": Jeremiah 2:19 "Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the LORD God of hosts."

Not sin but the punishment of it. The calamity before mentioned, which was hard and heavy, and grievous to be borne, and yet very just, it was by way of retaliation. "They had bitterly provoked the Lord," as the word may be rendered in the preceding verse, and now he sends them a bitter calamity and a heavy judgment.

"Because it reaches unto thine heart": Into the midst of them and utterly destroyed them. The two last clauses may be rendered, "though it is bitter, though it reaches unto thine heart," though it is such a sore distress, and such an utter destruction, yet it was to be ascribed to nothing else but their own sins and transgressions.

Their own sin brought this evil upon them. They were wicked and their bondage will be bitter. They have displeased God.
 
In, Jeremiah Verses 19 - 22, Jeremiah had pain in his “heart” because there was nothing he could do to avert the coming disaster. God also laments the condition of the people who are “foolish” in the face of His judgment.

Examinining Verse 19 more closely,

Jeremiah 4:19 "My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart makes a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war."

Here begins the woeful complaint of, and the great trouble the prophet was in, upon the consideration of these things, crying out as one even under great pain and torment. Doubling his words for want of vent, thereby expressing the excess of his sorrow, which in words was inexpressible. 

"I am pained at my very heart": In Hebrew, the walls of my heart, or my heartstrings that surrounded and encompassed my heart, are ready to break. He may possibly allude to their encompassing the walls of Jerusalem. Or the proper meaning is, my heart is ready to break, makes a noise, is disturbed within me, I can have no rest nor quiet within.

Next, "Because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet": i.e., I have heard in the spirit of prophecy. It is as certain as if I now heard the trumpet sounding, and “the alarm of war” beating up or coming. This is a cry of the fearful. If this is Jeremiah speaking, it is because the pains of his people are his pains. The trumpet has blown, and it is time for war.

And, Verse 20:

Jeremiah 4:20 "Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment."

Or, "breach upon breach." As soon as one affliction is over, another comes on. And upon the news of one calamity, tidings are brought of another, as in Job's case. It signifies, that distress and troubles would come thick and fast, and that there would be no end of them, until there was an utter destruction, as this phrase signifies, and the following words show. 

"Suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment": Meaning, either the armies of his people, which dwelt in tents, and were destroyed at once, or the cities, towns and habitations of his countrymen, which he compares to tents, as being easily beat down or overthrown. And the prophet seems to intimate that this destruction would reach to Anathoth, where his tent, cottage and curtains were. So sudden destruction sometimes comes, when men are crying “Peace, peace” - "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." 1 Thessalonians 5:3

Even the tent dwellers are taken and spoiled. This is a destruction brought on by God. It is a terrible destruction.

And, Verse 21:

Jeremiah 4:21 "How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?"

The “standard,” as in Jeremiah 4:6 "Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction," is the alarm signal given to the fugitives. The “trumpet” sounds to give the alarm, and quicken their flight to the defensed city. The prophet sees no end to the miseries of the coming war.

"And hear the sound of the trumpet?" Either of the watchmen giving notice of danger and summoning to battle, or of the enemy preparing to attack, 1Corinthian 14:8 "For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?"

The standard bearer is usually the last one to fall, because if one falls another takes it up. Before this battle is over, there will be no standard bearer or trumpet blower.

Next, Jeremiah 4:22 "For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge."

“Wise to do evil”: Israelites were wise or clever in doing evil but were dull in knowing to do the good, i.e., God’s Will. Paul, applying the principle but turning it to the positive, wanted the believers at Rome to be wise to do good but unlearned in the skill of doing evil.

"For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil." Roman 16:19

The word "sottish" means silly or fool. These are children who have made foolish decisions. They have chosen dumb idols (Satan, fake news, politicians, Hollywood, etc.) over the true God. They have gone out of their way to sin. These are a people whose understanding is darkened. They had the Light of the world but chose darkness over Light.
 
In Jeremiah 4:23-26: Having warned of the winds of destruction Jeremiah 4:11-13, Jeremiah gives a prediction of the awesome extent of that coming event Jeremiah 4:23-31. That disaster is described in terms of a gigantic cosmic and terrestrial cataclysm. The words without form and void are used of the original conditions at Creation Genesis 1:2. Therefore, some have suggested that Jeremiah is actually describing the early earth in terms of the effects of a primeval judgment, and, accordingly, emphasizes strongly the severity of Judah’s coming judgment for sin.

And, Jeremiah 4:23 "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light."

“Without form”: Jeremiah may be borrowing the language, but the description in its context is not of creation, but of judgment on the land of Israel and its cities. The invader left it desolate of the previous form and void of inhabitants due to slaying and flight.

"I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled." 
Jeremiah 4:25 

And, Jeremiah 4:24 "I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly."

He proceeds in his figurative elegancies. Behold how the mountains of Judea tremble! a like expression. As if the very senseless creatures were astonished at the greatness of God’s anger, and he mentions these as being the most stable part of the earth, yet shake before him.

"All the hills moved lightly": As easily as if they were some very light matter, or as dust or feathers in a whirlwind. Or these may be said to tremble and move by reason of the multitudes of trampling and prancing horses and chariots furiously passing over them.

Jeremiah 4:25 "I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled."

No people dwelling in it. The land was without inhabitants, they were either killed with the sword, or taken and carried captive into Babylon, or fled into Egypt and other countries.

"And all the birds of the heavens were fled": At the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war, at the blackness of the heavens, filled with smoke, at the barrenness of the earth, there being no seed sown. And the earth, as at the first creation, having no herb, nor trees bearing fruit, and so no food for birds, and, therefore, they went elsewhere, both wild and tame.

There had been a habitation, but there had been a total destruction of that habitation. Who they were, and why they were destroyed, is none of our business. If God had wanted us to know, He would have told us.

Jeremiah 4:26 "I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger."

Jeremiah often uses the “wilderness” to represent God’s judgment. This speaks of total desolation brought on by God. The place that had brought forth fruit is now a wilderness. We see the reason is the anger of the LORD.
 
Verses 27-29: The Lord added a note of hope in the phrase “yet will I not make a full end.” He had “purposed” both judgment and the remnant who would survive to carry on His plan for His people.

Jeremiah 4:27 "For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end."

What follows is an explanation and confirmation of the above vision the prophet had.

"The whole land shall be desolate": As he had seen. It should not be manured, ploughed and sown, or bring forth fruit; and should be without inhabitants, at least have very few.

"Yet I will not make a full end": There should be some inhabitants, who, with those that should hereafter return from captivity, would repopulate it, rebuild the temple, and restore it to its pristine form and order. Both as to things natural, civil and ecclesiastical. But though a full end of them, as a church and people, was not to be made now by the Chaldeans. Yet, it would be, as it has been done by the Romans, in the times of Vespasian and Hadrian (in A.D. 70) when Jerusalem was destroyed and the Jews were scattered.

This earth that was null and void shall live again. God will apply the Light of the world, and it will live. It is the Light that brings life.

Jeremiah 4:28 "For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it."

That is, for the full end that will be made hereafter, though not now. The earth may be said to mourn when the inhabitants of it do. Or when it is destroyed, and is become desolate, when it is uncultivated and uninhabited.

"And the heavens above be black": With thick clouds, and storms and tempests; in allusion to mourners, that are clothed with black. These figures, of the earth's mourning, and the heavens being clothed in black, denote the horribleness of that dispensation, when there would be an utter destruction of the Jewish nation, church and civil government, of which Daniel prophesies. Daniel 9:27 

"Because I have spoken it": In my word. In the Scriptures of the Old Testament, by Moses and the prophets.

"I have purposed it": Or I have thought of it, in my counsel. It was a thing deliberately devised and determined, and therefore can never be frustrated or made void.

"And will not repent": Will not turn away from it, or change, what was purposed and predicted.

"Neither will I turn back from it": Revoke or retract it; it shall surely come to pass. The Jews, upon their return from the Babylonian captivity, and afterwards, might flatter themselves that a full end would not be made of them, because it was not then done. And therefore, these several strong expressions are used, to confirm and assure them of it: for the word of God cannot fail, his counsel shall stand. He is not a man, that he should lie or repent; he will do all his pleasure.

This is a time of no Light. The blackness symbolizes mourning. God is Truth, when He speaks, it happens.

And onto Jeremiah 4:29 "The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein."

The inhabitants of all ranks and qualities shall seek to escape the fury of this Chaldean army.

"They shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks": Such a consternation there shall be upon them that they shall run into every hole to hide themselves. The Hebrew is abim, the clouds, possibly alluding to dark places on the tops of hills. Reaching as it were to the clouds, or among the cloudy shades of trees and groves that usually grew there. The LXX render it caves, and so the rocks for shelter, or the clefts, caves, and hiding-places in the rocks.

"Every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein": There shall be an utter desolation, their cities quite forsaken, not any to inhabit them.

This is a terrible time of fear. The fear is so great that they flee from the onslaught, and run to the caves for help. No one is left in the cities.
 
Verses 30-31: Jeremiah returns to the personification of Judah and Jerusalem as a “woman,” first as a prostitute, and then as a woman enduring labor pangs alone, and deserted by all.

Jeremiah 4:30 "And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothe thyself with crimson, though thou deck thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rents thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life."

Or, "O thou spoiled", wasted, and undone creature, how wilt thou help thyself? By what means do you think you can be delivered? It suggests that her ruin was inevitable; that she could not be recovered from it by herself, or any other.

"Though thou clothest thyself with crimson": And so look like some rich and noble person; hoping thereby to find mercy, and to have quarter given and kindness shown.

"Though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold": As a person of high and princely dignity. Or rather all this is to be understood of the manner of harlots, who dress rich and grand, in order to allure men; since it follows:

"Though thou rentest thy face with painting": Or, eyes; which painting dilates as Jezebel did. See, 2 Kings 9:30 

"In vain shalt thou make thyself fair": So as to be loved and admired: far from it.

"Thy lovers will despise thee": As an old harlot is despised by her former gallants, notwithstanding all her dressing and painting. Yea, their love is often turned into hatred and abhorrence, as would be the case here.

"They will seek thy life": To take it away. So far would there be from being any ground of expectations of help and deliverance from them.

All of the beautiful clothing and jewelry will not make them beautiful to God. We see that the ones they have thought of as lovers, will be of no help at all. This adulterous people who were the wife of God, are now abandoned.

And, finally, Jeremiah 4:31 "For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewails herself, that spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers."

So, the distress of the Jews, at the time of their destruction, is compared to the sorrows of a woman in travail. And a word, that signifies that is used to express it. See, Matthew 24:8

"And the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child": Whose time is more difficult, her pains sharper, her anguish greater, and having less experience, the more impatient.

"The voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewails herself": Her unhappy condition, and miserable circumstances.

"That spreads her hands": As persons in distress do, and particularly women in travail.

Saying: "Woe is me now, for my soul is wearied because of murderers": These abounded under the second temple, and was the reason, the Jews say, of the Sanhedrim removing from their usual place in the temple. And why they ceased from the beheading of the red heifer.
​
This appears to be speaking of the physical house of Israel, who is destroyed. The first child is generally speaking of physical Israel. Zion can be the church or Jerusalem. She is crying because of the murderous destruction of her children. The woe is for the loss.

So, in conclusion, and to bring together my message that "The Angels are Here," let us read Psalm 34:1-22:

But, first, Psalm 34:7, "The angel of the Lord encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them." And, Ecclesiastes 12:13, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."

Now, Psalm 34:1-22

1 "I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the LORD encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them.

8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusts in him.

9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

12 What man is he that desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?

13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivers him out of them all.

20 He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.

21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

22 The LORD redeems the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate."

As we can see, God keeps pushing me to spread the word: He will not overlook sin!

​"
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

So, while He wants us to know that His judgment is coming, His goal or plan is always to save as many of His children as possible. And, He has sent His angels, and they are here now to protect His children, the ones who fear Him, and deliver them from evil and from God's fury at those who refuse His Son, Jesus Christ, and His Word.

Psalm 34:7, "The angel of the Lord encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them."

Do you fear God? You should! He commands it!


Ecclesiastes 12:13, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."

Repent, turn away from sin, turn back to God and be healed. Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

BREASTPLATE OF JUDGMENT

2/6/2021

In follow-up to my blog yesterday titled, "BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS," God stressed or emphasized to me this morning, JUDGMENT! He put Scripture on my heart this morning, but, first, let's revisit the Breastplate of Righteousness from yesterday, or the Breastplate of Judgment. 

Following is a quote from www.biblestudytools.com, titled "BREASTPLATE OF THE HIGH PRIEST" or BREASTPLATE OF JUDGMENT:

"The Hebrew word choshen, rendered in the King James Version "breastplate," means really a "pouch" or "bag." The references to it are found exclusively in the Priestly Code Exodus 25:7; 28; 29:5; 35:9,27; Leviticus 8:8. The descriptions of its composition and particularly the directions with regard to wearing it are exceedingly obscure. According to Ezra 2:63 and Nehemiah 7:65 the Urim and Thummim, which were called in the priestly pouch, were lost during the Babylonian exile. The actual pouch was a "span in length and a span in breadth," i.e. about 9 inch square. It was made, like the ephod, of "gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen" Exodus 28:15. In it were twelve precious stones, in rows of four, representing the twelve tribes of Israel. Apparently the pouch had two rings (perhaps four) through which passed two gold chains by which it was fastened to the ephod supplied for the purpose with ouches or clasps. The pouch was worn by the high priest over his heart when he entered the "holy place" "for a memorial before Yahweh." The presence of the high priest, the representative of the people, with the names of the separate tribes on his person, brought each tribe before the notice of Yahweh and thereby directed His attention to them. The full designation was choshen mishpaT, "pouch of judgment" or "decision." It was the distinctive symbol of the priest in his capacity as the giver of oracles. As already suggested the priestly pouch contained the Urim and Thummim which were probably precious stones used as lots in giving decisions.

In all probability the restored text of 1 Samuel 14:41 preserves the true custom. On one side stood Saul and Jonathan, and the people on the other side. If the result was Urim, Saul and Jonathan would be the guilty parties. If the result was Thummim, the guilt would fasten on the people." - T. Lewis ​END QUOTE

THIS is pretty powerful! By atonement and holy rituals decreed by God, the High Priest [Aaron] is bringing all of the sins of man before God for cleansing and mercy.

Judgment is coming, and God will not overlook sin. The Bible tells us, "It is a terrible thing to face punishment from the living God." Hebrews 10:31

Hebrews 10:26-31 ERV

26 "If we decide to continue sinning after we have learned the truth, then there is no other sacrifice that will take away sins.

27 If we continue sinning, all that is left for us is a fearful time of waiting for the judgment and the angry fire that will destroy those who live against God.

28 Whoever refused to obey the Law of Moses was found guilty from the testimony given by two or three witnesses. Such people were not forgiven. They were killed.

29 So think how much more punishment people deserve who show their hate for the Son of God—people who show they have no respect for the blood sacrifice that began the new agreement and once made them holy or who insult the Spirit of God’s grace.

30 We know that God said, 'I will punish people for the wrongs they do; I will repay them.' And he also said, 'The Lord will judge his people.'

31 It is a terrible thing to face punishment from the living God."

Hebrews 10:35-39 ERV

35 "So don’t lose the courage that you had in the past. Your courage will be rewarded richly.

36 You must be patient. After you have done what God wants, you will get what he promised you.

37 He says,

'Very soon now, the one who is coming
    will come and will not be late.

38 The person who is right with me
    will live by trusting in me.

But I will not be pleased with the one
    who turns back in fear.'

39 But we are not those who turn back and are lost. No, we are the people who have faith and are saved."

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1

“The fear of man brings a snare: but whoso putts his trust in the LORD shall be safe.” Proverbs 29:25

"Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent." Revelation 2:5

I have said before, we have been in a Spiritual War, but, also, that God won, as he always does, when it is His Will, and like the Egyptians at the red sea, the time is at hand for God's judgment upon many people. 

"And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;" Deuteronomy 11:4

JUDGMENT IS NIGH, BUT "THE END IS NOT YET"

"And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet." Matthew 24:6

WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!

2 Thessalonians 2:8-12

8 “And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spiritof his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 

​And, Revelation 3:3

"Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you."

TURN AWAY FROM SIN, TURN TO GOD, AND BE HEALED! 

HALLELUJAH! PRAISE GOD! AMEN!
