Warning: God’s Truth & Freedom Of Speech!

“For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;”-Isaiah 59:12

Is America filled with sin. Sadly, yes. Even sadder, it is so filled with sin that states like Minnesota want to create a registry so people can’t even remind them of those sins (Minnesota’s proposed bias registry).

Minnesota’s proposed bias registry is very troubling. The question must be asked, will it included speech by a Pastor and other religious speech? What if the Bible is read out loud?

Clearly gay marriage and transgender acts are a sin. Will saying so now be place us on a bias registry? What about saying adultery or idols worship is a sin? Will that be placed on the bias registry as well? What about saying theft is a sin? Will that offend someone? Will it be entered in the bias registry too? Talk about loosing your freedom!

God’s Truth is the only Truth that matters! We as Christians share that Truth with one another and we pray that the Holy Spirit will share God’s Truth with us. Nothing and no one can stop God’s Truth, for it is written in our hearts! 🙂

Please pray for our Pastors’ and all of our Leaders. Ask our Lord to give them courage to lead well and the right way, for they will need it!

Prepare, Pray & Be Ready!

WARNING: THOSE NATIONS WHO REJECT GOD WILL FACE CONSEQUENCES!

“that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”-Matthew 5:45

America, as a nation, has turned away from God and as a nation we will face consequences for that choice. Unfortunately, because we are one nation and a nation who has chosen to reject God’s protection; our entire nation will face the consequences. For it “rains on the just and unjust”.

Will God answer individual prayers? In Jesus’s Name, Absolutely. Will some be “Marked Safe”? Yes. Will there still be churches that still preach God’s Truth? There will be, but remember – the Church is God’s People.

And God Loves His People. So no matter what occurs, we can still pray to Him in Jesus’s Name, and He will answer 🙂

Prepare, Pray & Be Ready!

Warn The Wicked!

“Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: ‘Thus you say, “If our transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live?” ’ Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’” – Ezekiel 33:9-11

So hard to do, but so very important!

Prepare, Pray & Be Ready!

Go To The Mountain

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.” – Isaiah 2:2

When it is time, don’t walk. Run!

Prepare, Pray & Be Ready!

Stay On The Narrow Path

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. ¹⁴But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”- Matthew 7:13-14

There is so much temptation in our world today. There is also the temptation to “look at the other guy” and feel pretty good about where we are at. Or on the other hand, feel pretty bad about where we are at.

But God looks at where we are and where we could be. We are not to compare ourselves to others, only give the best that we have to offer to our Lord 🙂

“God gave us His Strength to follow His Will and Purpose and stay on the narrow path He set before us. Through our faith and trust in our Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we are equipped with the tools we need to fight both our everyday challenges and those once-in-our-lifetime battles we encounter. Now IS the time for us to use those tools and share the Message of Christ with others, so that they too may experience the Power and Love of our Lord. Amen” – A Friend

God’s Light

“The sun shall no more be your light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light to you: but the Lord shall be your everlasting light, and your God your glory.” – Isaiah 60:19

It’s hard to imagine a day when we will not have to worry if it will be “light” enough. In America, we turn on the lights when it gets dark, but we have to pay an electric bill for that! In a number of countries, they do not have electric like we do, and when night comes all they can do is build a fire!

But there will come a day when God will provide all of the light that we need 🙂 And there will be no “bill” for it! There will be no power outages and no need for fires or lamps. For God will provide the Light Himself 🙂

Prepare, Pray & Be Ready!

It Won’t Always Be This Way…

“Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.”-Isaiah 60:18

Peace definitely does not sound like America these days! In fact, it doesn’t really sound like earth these days! Wars and rumors of wars…violence in the city streets, division among the people…That is the world of today on earth!

But it won’t always be this way. One day, we will go to Heaven and violence will be no more 🙂

Because God Loves us 🙂

Is America Serving?

“For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you, shall perish, yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.”-Isaiah 60:12

Is America currently serving God? Is America currently serving the Church?

Prepare, Pray & Be Ready!

The Bible & Praying

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. 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.” – Isaiah 60:1

There is no doubt that darker times are ahead. And the world will desperately need the light of Christ shining through us to lead the way home. But in order to “shine” for Jesus, we will need God’s Help and so we will need to pray and ask Him for it!

The Holy Spirit is in us! We need to call upon the Holy Spirit and ask Him to pour out His Spirit as never before.

We need to pray for another Great Awakening!

Prepare, Pray & Be Ready!

Happy Easter

“But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. ⁶He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”-Matthew 28:5-6

Can we truly imagine the joy all those who Loved Jesus felt when they realized He was alive? When they saw Him for the first time after He rose from the dead? That is the kind of joy we will experience in Heaven!

Can we truly imagine the Peace that all of those who Loved Jesus felt knowing that His pain and suffering were done? Because that is the kind of Peace we will feel in Heaven 🙂

A Heaven that we would not enter without Jesus’ Great Sacrifice!

And if that were not enough, Jesus’ Life, Death and Resurrection also created a Bridge between God and us!

How Blessed are we 🙂

Thank You Jesus. These words don’t seem nearly enough, but Thank You!
