So many are running as fast as they can and jumping off the cliff-into the abyss. Only The Holy Spirit can help to take off the blinders that Satan has put over the eyes of some and see God’s Truth. And God’s Truth is the only Truth that matters!

So what is God’s Truth. The same as it has always been. Love God with your whole heart and soul, and love one another! God’s Truth has not changed.

God sent His only Son to Save us. But He has also given us the freedom to choose-choose wisely.

In Matthew 24:24 it says, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”

And this deceit can spread even to our daily lives.

There is only one way to protect ourselves. Accept Jesus as our Savior and pray that the Holy Spirit will allow us to see the Truth.

Now and always 🙂

“Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”-Galatians 6:8

 “Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.  Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”-Matthew 9:37-38

Be a “worker”, your “reward” will last forever 🙂

“Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.“

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; – Matthew 10:15-17

Jesus gave us good advice for the times we are about to live through. Be Courageous and Be Cautious. For evil hates good, just as darkness hates the light.

But be wise. Before acting, we need to ask ourselves, is this worth it? If we can no longer be the Mother, Father, Sister, Brother…that we want to be, will this have been worth it?

Some things are worth it. Sharing the Gospel, Following Christ, Worshipping God, Praying, Protecting the minds and hearts of our children…The list is endless…

But some things are not always worth it. Winning a debate, convincing someone you are right, money, a job…Think of it like this, can we take it home to Heaven with us?

Today, sharing Christ’s Good News and the Bible is the most important thing we can do. If we want a loved one to be “Saved”, this is the way to save them because Jesus loves every human being more than we can even begin to imagine.

Sharing that is worth dieing for 🙂

The Battle Belongs To God!

We need to take a stand against evil, but we need to do that by following Christ’s example. Be at Peace, Love God With Our Whole Hearts and Souls and Love One Another. And Pray Fervantly.

In John 18:10-11, it says “Then Simon Peter drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. 11“Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?” 12Then the band of soldiers, with its commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him.…”

He told Peter to stand down.

Jesus was being arrested and bound. He was to hang in agony on the Cross until He was dead.

But Jesus rose from the dead. And because He did, we are all going to Heaven forever :).

He told Peter to stand down, because “His Kingdom was not of this world”, it was of the “next”. (Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.” – John 18:36)

We live in extremely difficult times. And we do need to “take a stand” with Christ. But the best way to “take a stand” is to share the Gospel, Pray and love God with our whole hearts and souls, and love each other.

Despite appearances, Jesus had already won then, and now!

Let our legacy be that we loved like Jesus, no matter the cost 🙂

Remember when Jesus came?  So many wanted Him to fix THIS world.  The Romans were taxing the people unfairly (not to mention too heavily).  The people were greatly persecuted.  For many years, Mary and Joseph had to raise Jesus basically on the run for their lives. The rulers were rich; the people were poor.  Very poor.  The “people” lived in a time of despair and persecution.  And that is not even the worst of it!

Enter Jesus.  Some of the people thought that the “Savior” would “fix” the world on earth, but Jesus came to show us the way to Heaven.  To pay the price for our sins, so we would not have to.

But for some, that was not enough.  They wanted Jesus to “fix” their current world. And so, sadly, they rejected Jesus.

“Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.”-John 15:20

Flash forward to today’s world.  Jesus didn’t come to fix our current world either.  He came to show us the way to Heaven and to pay the price for our sins.  And Thank God He did ?

The road is about to get very bumpy for those who truly follow Christ.  But Jesus will be with us, loving and supporting us, through every minute.  Do not fear, for no power on this earth can take Heaven from us.

Sadly, there can be no doubt that our nation has chosen Judgement. But is it the Final Judgement?

There are many who feel we live in the “End Times”.  And perhaps we do.

But there are also plenty of examples of when God passed Judgement on a Nation, but it was not yet the “End Times” (The times talked about in Revelations).

So what is a Follower of Jesus to do?

Remember that repentness and forgiveness is always available through Jesus Christ.

Live as if Jesus is coming today.  Get ready.  Watch, Prepare and Pray.

Because whether it is A Judgement or THE Final Judgement-serving God must come First and our call is still the same.   ?
