“ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”- Romans 1:16-17

Reading the news will not help us, but reading the Bible will! In fact, it is exactly what we will need to get through these difficult times.

God gave us His Word for a number of reasons. One of those reasons was that it would help us in our time of need.

Read God’s Word, with the Holy Spirit, Daily 🙂

I saw a full crate of fruit and then an empty one.

“And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.”-Revelation 6:6

It isn’t just higher prices for food that will come; it is also a lack of available food. But while there may be a shortage of food for the body, there will never be a shortage of food for the soul! 🙂

Being ready does not necessarily mean going shopping.  It means being as close to God as we possibly can be.  It means remembering that whatever we have been given, we are to be a good steward and follow God’s Will.  It means we need to Share with one another, for our Lord has commanded us to love God and love one another ?

Praying is the Best way to “Prepare”.  We can pray all day and all night.  There is no limit to the number of prayers we can pray, so pray now ?

Prepare, Pray and Be Ready…

 “And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”-Revelation 5-8

For many, this will be the Black Horse of poverty. Many of the rich will get richer and everyone else will get poorer. For many, there will be great famine and great struggle.

Prepare, Pray and Be Ready!

America has been Blessed beyond measure. And with those Blessings comes great responsibility. And if we do not fulfil those responsibilities, if we do not honor and include God who has Blessed us so greatly, we will loose those Blessings.

Prepare, Pray & Be Ready…

“Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.” – Revelations 6:4

The most important thing to remember about Hell is that God does not choose Hell for us; we do! God loves us and because He loves us so He gave us the choice: Heaven or Hell.

As with making any important choice; it is important to truly understand the choices that are available! Hell is a horrific place, a place you wouldn’t wish for your worst enemy! And it is also an eternal one.  Meaning it lasts forever.  It’s hard to imagine anything lasting forever, but it does.  What is Hell like:

“Shame and everlasting contempt” – Daniel 12:2

“Everlasting punishment” – Matthew 25:46

“Weeping and gnashing of teeth” = Matthew 24:51

“Fire unquenchable” – Luke 3:17

“Indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish” – Romans 2:8-9

“ They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from^[a] the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,” 2 Thessalonians 1:9

“Eternal fire…the blackness of darkness forever” – Jude 7:13

These verses were compiled by Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort

How horrific Hell is! We wouldn’t want anyone to go there!  But although God’s Mercy and Love are unconditional, Justice is also required. And so we must do all what we can to help each other make the right choice! And that means introducing people to Jesus.  That really is all we can do.  Whether they choose Christ will be up to them.

“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True.” – Revelation 19:11

I saw Mary and I Praying in front of a white Cross on a hill. All of a sudden a wind blew up and blew us off our feet! We hung on to the white Cross! And although the wind blew so hard our feet had left the ground, we kept hanging on! Then the wind stopped and we returned to praying in front of the Cross. The storm had passed :)-Seen while Praying the Rosary.

Life brings many storms. It always has. Sometimes the storms are obvious like a the death of someone we love or a job loss or homelessness. But sometimes the storms are less obvious. Like being to busy to Pray daily or read the Bible. Or just having too much “fun” or being “busy” at work or home. Perhaps it is our social life… But all of these, if we are not careful, may pull us away from Jesus.

Don’t let them! We have a choice, given to us by God Himself!

Choose Christ 🙂
