America Is Under Judgement. “I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse.” (Ge 12:3)

I am passing this on to all of you. Many of you know that that America is under judgment for not supporting Israel and in fact is trying to make them give up land that the Lord has given them. This is some of the reasons why we are under judgment.  I am not asking you to support this group, although they are doing the Lords work, feel free to help them. I support them.

Image: The 1991 "Perfect Storm" Peace, peace – Then Sudden Destruction “While people are saying, ‘There is peace and security,’ then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.” (1 Th 5:3) Over the past 22 years there has been an amazing correlation between the efforts of the international community, spearheaded by the United States of America to remove parts of the Promised Land from the Jewish people in the name of peace, and the sudden destruction that has followed. Consider the following 13 examples detailed by William R. Koenig and John McTernan in their books Eye to Eye: Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel, and As America has Done to Israel, as well as David Brennan in his books Israel Omen and Israel Omen II. 1. The Perfect Storm President George H.W. Bush Sr. became famous for his speeches about a “New World Order.” He was also the first US president to introduce the concept of “land for peace,” to the conflict between Israel and her Arab neighbors, meaning that if Israel will only cede some of the Land that has been deeded to them forever by Almighty God to their Arab enemies, there will be peace in the Middle East. This concept formed the basis for the Madrid Peace Conference in October 1991 that he arranged. It was the first time in history that Israeli and Palestinian leaders came together to talk peace. On October 30, just as the conference began, what has been called “The Perfect Storm,” and dubbed by scientists as “a freak of nature” took place over the Atlantic Ocean, as three different storms joined together, reversed their path and then slammed into the coast of New England. One of the properties that were severely damaged was President Bush’s private summer residence Kennebunkport, Maine. While the president delivered the introductory speech at the Madrid conference, 30 feet high waves engulfed his home and flushed his expensive furniture out into the sea. The storm caused damages for an estimated $1 billion. 2. Hurricane Andrew On August 24 the following year, a follow up meeting to the Madrid Conference was held in Washington DC. The object was the same: making peace by forcing Israel to give up parts of the Promised Land. That very night hurricane Andrew hit the coast of Florida, becoming the most costly hurricane in US history up to that point, with damages for approximately $30 billion. 3. The Great Flood of 1993 By this time Israel had elected a new government headed by Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin. As opposed to his predecessor Yitzchak Shamir, Rabin bowed to US pressure of land for peace and began secret negotiations with the PLO. From April to August 1993, coinciding exactly with the secret negotiations that would lead to the infamous Oslo Accords, the “Great Flood of 1993” hit the US Midwest, causing damage for an estimated $15 billion. A flood of this magnitude occurs only once in about 500 years. 4. The Northbridge Earthquake After the “success” of the Oslo Accords, President Clinton decided to meet with President Assad of Syria in Geneva Switzerland, in order to promote peace. After this meeting on January 16, 1994, Clinton contacted Prime Minister Rabin, who then announced on January 18 that he was willing to give up the Golan Heights to Syria in order to make peace. The preceding day, January 17, while President Clinton was pressuring Prime Minister Rabin to give up the Golan Heights for peace, the Northbridge Earthquake, the highest instrumentally recorded earthquake in an urban area in North American history struck California. It was the second most costly natural disaster in U.S. history at that time, killing 57 people and causing damages for $25 billion. 5. Tropical Storm Allison On June 5, 2001 President Bush Jr. suddenly changed his political course of strong support for Israel and sent CIA Director George Tenet to the Middle East in order to revive the stalled “peace process,,” by implementing the so-called Mitchell Report. The same day that President Bush Jr made that announcement, a “mystery storm” called Tropical Storm Allison formed completely unannounced off the coast of Texas. Meteorologists called Allison “the nation’s worst tropical storm” ever. It caused flooding and a deluge of historical proportions to President Bush’s home state with damages for $5 billion. 6. September 11 A few weeks after President Bush sent George Tenet to the Middle East, he made a promise to the Saudi Ambassador to the U.S. that he would arrange a major media event in September, where he would be the first president in US history to publically endorse the formation of a Palestinian state. Neither President Clinton, nor Prime Minister Rabin had ever talked about a Palestinian state in the Oslo Accords. This was a major new step. The “big rollout” was planned to take place sometime during the week of September 10, 2001, possibly in the morning of September 11. That very morning the worst terrorist attack up to that point in US history took place, causing the death of at least 3,000 people and damages for an estimated $843 billion! 7. “The worst weather in U.S. history” After this devastating setback it took almost two years until the next initiative to remove the Promised Land from the Jewish people took place. This time President Bush established the so-called Quartet consisting of USA, EU, Russia and the UN, in order to force Israel to give up part of their God given inheritance. On April 30, 2003 President Bush summed up the Quartet’s demands on Israel in a White House Rose Garden speech with the following words, “The government of Israel, as the terror threat is removed and the security improves, must take steps to support the emergence of a viable and credible Palestinian state… settlement activity in occupied territories must end.” The very same day, what would later be called “the worst weather in U.S. history” began, as a total of twenty-one tornadoes struck seven states. Before it was over a month later, a total of 562 tornadoes and 1,587 hailstorms had hit the United States causing damages for an estimated $5 billion. 8. The European Heat Wave Interestingly, just as this severe weather ended, a heat wave of historic and staggering proportions began in Europe in June, 2003, as the EU was now also actively involved in removing the Promised Land from the Jewish people. When the heat wave finally ended three months later, the death toll had reached 52 000 people, making it one of the worst climate related disasters in Western history! The estimated cost from the devastation ranged between $10-20 billion. 9. Hurricane Katrina On August 23, 2005, the same day that the government of Israel announced that the forced removal of all Jews from the Gaza strip had been completed, the US National Weather Service noticed a tropical depression that would later be called Hurricane Katrina. 1.1 million people had to leave their homes in New Orleans and the hurricane caused damages for $165 billion and the deaths of at least 1,833 people. 10. The Global Financial Crisis Two years after the devastating Hurricane Katrina, President Bush and the Quartet initiated the next move to remove the Promised Land from the Jewish people. On July 23, 2007, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the Quartet’s newly appointed envoy, was dispatched to the Middle East for the first time in order to revive President Bush’s Road Map to peace. In his farewell speech Blair stated, “The absolute priority is to try to give effect to what is now the consensus across the international community – that the only way of bringing stability and peace to the Middle East is a two-state solution.” The same week that Blair was dispatched to the Middle East, a crisis in the international banking system started, as the risk premium in lending between international banks suddenly jumped over 50%. Over the next months the instability steadily increased until it erupted in the global financial meltdown in October 2008. The estimated cost of this financial crises, which was the worst since 1929, was a staggering $10.2 trillion. Notice Blair’s words about the so-called “two-state solution” now being “the consensus across the international community.” The financial crisis in 2008 affected not only the U.S. but also basically every nation in the world. Interestingly Israel was one of the least affected nations. 11. The Iceland Volcano On April 14, 2010 the Advertising Standard Authority in Great Britain announced that since the Old City in Jerusalem is considered occupied territory, the government of Israel is not allowed to use pictures of the Western Wall in Jerusalem in their advertisements in Great Britain, in order to draw tourists to Israel. The very same day the volcano Eyjafjallajokull on Island erupted, spewing out 250 million cubic meters of volcanic ash into the atmosphere, causing a halt to all air traffic in and out of Britain as well as many other parts of Europe beginning the next day. The loss in tourism income to Britain alone amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars. 12. The Gulf Oil Rig Disaster Later on in April, 2010 President Obama was finally able to force the Prime Minister of Israel to halt all building in what is often called Eastern Jerusalem, which in reality is biblical Jerusalem. Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision was informal and was denied publically in order to avoid domestic criticism, but it was confirmed by several media reports as well as by indirect statements from the U.S. State Department. As a result of this unprecedented breakthrough for the Obama Administration to wrest control of Jerusalem away from the Jewish people, George Mitchell was dispatched on April 21 to the Middle East in an effort to jump start peace talks again. However, the evening before, on April 20 another major catastrophe of historic proportions took place in the United States. British Petroleum’s oilrig “Deepwater Horizon” exploded in the Gulf of Mexico causing one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history that eventually cost $32-40 billion in damages. 13. The Worst Tornado Rampage In U.S. History In the spring of 2011 came President Obama’s next major move against Israel, when he publically declared that Israel’s negotiations with the Palestinians must be based on the indefensible pre 1967 borders. This came as a shock to most observers and Prime Minister Netanyahu immediately rejected it as unacceptable for Israel. President Obama made this historic declaration in a speech on May 19, as Prime Minister Netanyahu was on board his airplane over the Atlantic on his way to America. The decision to take this unprecedented step must, however, have been made sometime before that since the State Department as well as others in the President’s staff had to be informed first of his new policy. Brennan makes the observation in his book Israel Omen II that on April 6 George Mitchell, the United States’ most experienced point man to the Middle East since the Clinton era, handed in his resignation to President Obama. Brennan deduces that Mitchell resigned because Obama’s new policy would make his task as mediator between Israel and the Palestinians impossible. Two days before Mitchell’s resignation, on April 4, the worst tornado rampage in US recorded history began. During the month of April, 2011 an all time record of 875 tornados caused damages for $26 billion. During four days alone, between April 25-28, 327 confirmed tornados killed 344 people and caused damages for $10 billion. When Pharaoh refused to let the children of Israel go to the Promised Land, his advisers finally told him, “Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God. Do you not yet understand that Egypt is ruined?” (Ex 10:7) It is also written in Zechariah, “Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah. On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it.” (Zec 12:2-3) Jerusalem is the place where empires die. All who come against God’s plan for His City will hurt themselves. When Great Britain worked against the Jewish people having their own state, it only took a few years for Britain to loose its position as a world power. Since President Obama forced Israel into negotiating peace with the Palestinians this summer by agreeing to release condemned terrorists with blood on their hands, the United States has just in a matter of months lost its standing in the Middle East as a world power. Saudi Arabia as well as Egypt have lost their trust in the United States and are now beginning to align themselves instead with Russia. A recent poll shows that for the first time in history, the President of Russia is now considered the most powerful leader in the world with the President of the United States taking second place. God has said about Israel, “I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse.” (Ge 12:3)   What Will Happen Now? At the moment it seems like the relationship between Israel and the United States is at an all time low. President Obama is about to sign a deal with Iran that will leave the Iranians with the capacity to produce nuclear weapons within weeks whenever they choose to do so. Prime Minister Netanyahu has reacted very strongly and denounced the deal in the strongest terms possible. On top of this, Secretary of State John Kerry recently threatened Israel with a third intifada, as well as international sanctions and isolation if they do not sign a peace deal with the Palestinians and give them their state. Please view Prime Minister Netanyahu’s angry response to these developments here as well as here. DEBKAfile commented: “Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu admitted he was stunned by the terms of the accord negotiated with Iran, calling it a “monumental, historic mistake” and “Iran’s deal of the century.” Tehran has conceded nothing and receives limited sanctions relief, he said. The interim agreement, said Netanyahu, buries the possibility of a peaceful final accord for dismantling Iran's nuclear program once and for all. “Israel is not obliged by this agreement and will do everything it needs to do to defend itself and defend the security of its people,” he said. “His words carried two messages: 1. Israel has abandoned its trust in Barack Obama ever complying with his pledge to its security and will henceforth act on its own. 2. Israel’s only remaining course now is to exercise its military option against Iran’s nuclear capability – whether openly or covertly. For five years, Binyamin Netanyahu has repeatedly warned the world that Israel was ready for military action to preempt a nuclear-armed Iran. Each successive repetition was received on a diminishing scale of credibility. His response to the Geneva accord is therefore anyone’s guess.” (End of quote)[i] John Kerry arrived in the Middle East on the ninth of Av, 2013 on his sixth visit as Secretary of State, which led to the start of the present peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. Both parties have agreed to continue with these talks for nine months ending around Passover 2014. On this Feast a lunar eclipse, or blood red moon will appear in the sky over Jerusalem. Since ancient times a blood moon has been a sign of war for the Jewish people. It is also a sign that is connected with the day of the LORD and the coming of Messiah as it says in Joel, “The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.” (Joel 2:31) What more is that this blood red moon will be the first of four blood moons that will appear on the Feast of Passover and Succoth two years in a row. This is a rare phenomenon that has only taken place seven times over the past two thousand years. The previous time was in connection with the Six Day War in 1967 when Jerusalem was liberated. Abraham Foxman wrote in an article this week about Obama’s willingness to sign a deal with Iran, “We are entering a period of time that may be the most dangerous the world has seen since the fall of the Berlin wall.”[ii] On Saturday night, MK Naftali Bennett (Bayit Yehudi/Jewish Home), Minister of Economy and Diaspora Affairs and member of the Security Cabinet, wrote: “These critical days in November will be remembered for years to come. The Free World stands before a fork in the road with a clear choice: Either stand strong and insist Iran dismantles its nuclear-weapons program, or surrender, cave in and allow Iran to retain its 18,500 centrifuges. “Years from now, when an Islamic terrorist blows up a suitcase in New York, or when Iran launches a nuclear missile at Rome or Tel Aviv, it will have happened only because a Bad Deal was made during these defining moments… “It would be dangerous to lift the sanctions and accept a deal which allows Iran to retain its entire uranium-production line. It would be dangerous because Iran would, a year, two or three from now, just turn everything back on and obtain a nuclear weapon before the world can do anything to stop it. It is not enough to shut off the centrifuges. They need to be completely dismantled. We call upon the West to avoid signing a Bad Deal. Israel's responsibility is to ensure the security of its citizens and that is exactly what we will do. We will never outsource our security.” (End of quote)[iii] We must use the time that is left before Passover 2014 to pray and intercede for Israel, as signs in the natural as well as in the heavens indicate that very serious times lie ahead. “While people are saying, ‘There is peace and security,’ then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.” (1 Th 5:3) Israel might be forced to go to war again like in 1967 and we must pray! We must also remember to pray that the so-called peace negotiations will fail. They constitute just as big of a threat to Israel as Iran’s nuclear weapons. Prime Minister Netanyahu is criticizing Obama for trusting Iran by negotiating with them, while he is doing exactly the same with the Palestinians. Both the Iranians and the Palestinians have an outspoken agenda to destroy Israel. The Palestinians do not want peace with Israel any more than the Iranians do. Already in 1974 they adopted the so-called Phased Plan to destroy Israel, the first phase being the establishment of a Palestinian state from which to attack Israel. Handing them this tool to help them fulfill their goal is suicidal.   URGENT NEWS!

Here is what the Lord is saying today, read and be blessed.

October 2, 2013. How often do thoughts of thanksgiving and gratitude cross your mind? Are you so caught up in your busyness that you can't stop to offer thanks for the provision I've faithfully given you again and again? Has your focus shifted toward what hasn't happened rather than what has? Realign your thought patterns to the position of awe. Take time to realize all I have done for you. Get to a place where you can see all I have done to get you exactly where you are right now.

 

Psalm 97:12 (NASB) "Be glad in the Lord, you righteous ones, and give thanks to His holy name."

Psalm 18:6 Call upon the Lord.

Psalm 18:6 (NASB) "In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God for help; He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry for help before Him came into His ears." 

Thank you all so much. I love you all. I am home from the Hospital now and phrasing God.

To all of my family and friends out their. I had Colon cancer surgery on Aug 09, 2013 and it was my birthday too. I was told by my doctor that the surgery went well. I checked in the hospital on Aug 09 and was their for 6 days. I went home on this last Wednesday evening, I am now in the recovery mode and am not supposed to do much, but I am doing what I can. The Lord is doing a quick recovery on m...e. The surgery was 3 hours long and I was cut open from the top on my stomach to well below my navel and am held together by metal staples on the inside and the outside, so I have to be careful of what I do so as not to strain the surgery area. AS I said I believe that the Lord is healing me. I was talking to someone else who had almost the same kind of surgery and it has taken him much longer to heal due to complications and other things, so I give phrase to the Lord. I love the Lord, I thank the Lord. What would I do without Him. I also have to say that my beautiful bride of 20 plus years has stood strong through all of this and is still taking care of me, loving me and she loves the Lord. I thank all of you for your prayers and support and bless the Lord their was many people out their who don't know me who prayed for me and the family. I love you all much more that I can express.

I still have doctor visits and other things like that. I go back to see my surgeon this coming Tuesday and maybe will learn more. It is great to be home, it is great to be alive. It is awesome to have a Father in Heaven that love us enough to have given up HIS only begotten Son so that we could live and be forgiven of our sins. I love you all soooooooo much!!

Spurgeons Daily Devotional; They weave the spider's web."

They weave the spider's web."
Isaiah 59:5
See the spider's web, and behold in it a most suggestive picture of the hypocrite's religion. It is meant to catch his prey: the spider fattens himself on flies, and the Pharisee has his reward. Foolish persons are easily entrapped by the loud professions of pretenders, and even the more judicious cannot always escape. Philip baptized Simon Magus, whose guileful declaration of faith was so soon exploded by the stern rebuke of Peter. Custom, reputation, praise, advancement, and other flies, are the small game which hypocrites take in their nets. A spider's web is a marvel of skill: look at it and admire the cunning hunter's wiles. Is not a deceiver's religion equally wonderful? How does he make so barefaced a lie appear to be a truth? How can he make his tinsel answer so well the purpose of gold? A spider's web comes all from the creature's own bowels. The bee gathers her wax from flowers, the spider sucks no flowers, and yet she spins out her material to any length. Even so hypocrites find their trust and hope within themselves; their anchor was forged on their own anvil, and their cable twisted by their own hands. They lay their own foundation, and hew out the pillars of their own house, disdaining to be debtors to the sovereign grace of God. But a spider's web is very frail. It is curiously wrought, but not enduringly manufactured. It is no match for the servant's broom, or the traveller's staff. The hypocrite needs no battery of Armstrongs to blow his hope to pieces, a mere puff of wind will do it. Hypocritical cobwebs will soon come down when the besom of destruction begins its purifying work. Which reminds us of one more thought, viz., that such cobwebs are not to be endured in the Lord's house: He will see to it that they and those who spin them shall be destroyed for ever. O my soul, be thou resting on something better than a spider's web. Be the Lord Jesus thine eternal hiding-place.

"What do you think the Scriptures mean when they say that the spirit God has placed within us is filled with envy?

James 4:5-7 (NLT) "What do you think the Scriptures mean when they say that the spirit God has placed within us is filled with envy? But he gives us even more grace to stand against such evil desires. As the Scriptures say, "God opposes the proud but favors the humble." So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

Psalm 30:11-12 (NASB) "You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, that my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever. 

Romans 8:38-39 (MSG) "I'm absolutely convinced that nothing-nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable-absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us." 

Luke 4: 18-19

Luke 4:18-19 (NASB) "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind, To set free those who are oppressed,To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord." 

I know the plans I have for you.

Jeremiah 29:11-12 (NASB) "For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. 'Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you."

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NASB) "And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me."

News on my cancer surgery and thanks for all the prayers. May the good Lord bless you all.

Hi everyone good news of a sort, my cancer surgery for the 12th of July has been delayed maybe for two to three weeks or so (sounds good to me anyway). The reason is that I have an appointment with a geneticist next Monday to see if this runs in the family ( mainly on my flesh fathers side ) and it could take a couple of weeks to get the results back it is shows that it does it means that they will have to take more colon out then they were going too, they don't want to have to go back in later down the road and have another surgery, they want to get it all at one time. I will update you if that changes and the correct date of the surgery or if the results come back early and the original date is still on but it looks like for now that it will be a later date. Thank you for all the prayers. I love you all. 

I am with thee, saith the Lord. I am asking for prayer for I know the Lord will bring me through it.

It can be hard to see God in the midst of your trials, but He is there. "And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee." Jeremiah 1:19

The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. Psalm 118:14

I am sorry that I have not been on much lately. I am asking your forgiveness and for your prayers. The Lord is my strength and I shall be healed one way or another.

I have that is I have been told that I have cancer in the colon so around July 12, 2013 or so ( the day could change) I will have surgery, that will take out about a foot or so and patch me back up. I know that God uses Doctors too and I am keeping faith with the Lord. I am asking for your prayers to help sustain me. 

I love all of you and thank you for your prayers in advance. 

God will see us through every chrisis!

Let there be no question about it. God will see us through every crisis. No
crisis Satan can throw against the children of God can bring them down. Not
depression, not famine, not a job loss, not sickness or suffering of any kind.
God will deliver His children and there is not one single reason to fear.
“Take therefore no thought [do not be anxious] for the morrow” (Matthew
6:34).

I have been told that I have cancer in the Colon, that is the word that the doctors and the enemy wants me to believe, but I believe that God will heal me and in Jesus name I am healed!! By His stripes I am healed!!

Isaiah 51:1 Read and be blessed.

Isaiah 51:1 (AMP) "HEARKEN TO Me, you who follow after rightness and justice, you who seek and inquire of [and require] the Lord [claiming Him by necessity and by right]: look to the rock from which you were hewn and to the hole in the quarry from which you were dug;"

Psalm 68:13 and Daniel 10:5 Read and be blessed.

Psalm 68:13 (NASB) "When you lie down among the sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and its pinions with glistening gold."

Daniel 10:5 (NLT) "I looked up and saw a man dressed in linen clothing, with a belt of pure gold around his waist."  

Good Words Have Power!

Good words have power. The same can be said for words that are not good. Few things, if any, have more power to make and keep a family or church happy as gracious words sincerely spoken. This kind of power is made more powerful when seasoned with salt. Add grace to your words and you have seasoned with the salt. God is no respecter of persons and neither should you be. Bless the lowly and the great alike. The way in which you speak to a person displays the Lord or the devil.

 

Colossians 4:6 (KJV) "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man."  

Words of wisdom to live by.

1 Corinthians 2:12-13 (NASB) "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, [1]combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words."

Psalm 25:5 (NLT) "Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you."

Remove the scales from your eyes.

Romans 8:5-6 (NLT) "Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace."

Become aware of conditions around you. Too often you get caught up in your daily routine of doing things and lose touch with the spiritual world around you. Ask Me to remove scales from your eyes so you can see. Satan is the ultimate deceiver and he wants to keep blinders on your eyes to keep you in uninterrupted obscurity. Can you see the spiritual world around you? Is your life consumed by possessions in the natural? Can you see? Ask Me to reveal My truths to you.


Acts 9:18 (NASB) "And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized;"

He Threatened Not

I am passing this on to all of you it will be a blessing to all. This is from David Wilkerson.

HE THREATENED NOT
by David Wilkerson
[May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011]

Here is an amazing truth connected with Christ's suffering: "When he was
reviled, [he] reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not" (1 Peter
2:23).

What a tremendous statement: "When He suffered, He threatened not." He never
once defended Himself against those who mistreated Him. He punished no one nor
retaliated against any.

How unlike us! We threaten when suffering gets unbearable; we defend ourselves;
we constantly protect our rights and reputation. Worst of all, we threaten God.
It's a very subtle thing, and most of us are not aware of what we are doing.
When our prayers go unanswered—when trouble and disaster strike our
lives—when it seems as though the Lord has let us down and we end up lonely
and in pain—we pull back on God. We slack up on prayer and Bible reading. We
still love Him, but we let go of our zeal. We begin to drift and our faith
becomes dull, inactive. Those responses are all threats against the Lord.

Every time we back off from seeking the Lord with all our hearts, we are
threatening Him. It's a subtle way of saying, "Lord, I did my best and You let
me down."

The Lord has infinite patience with those of us who hurt. He waits lovingly
until we return to His tender care. But it can become a way of life, a threat
to God's faithfulness, if we refuse to wake up and renew our faith and hope in
Him. Some become so disillusioned, they give in to their lusts and passions.
They indulge their desires because the battle seems so hopeless. It's their way
of saying, "What's the use? I call on God to help me, to deliver me, but help
never comes. I've still got this thing in me, after all my tears and prayers."

It finally comes to this: "I have a right to do it—because I've been hurt so
badly." It's a threat to God, a way of getting even with Him for not answering
prayer on schedule.

Beloved, there is hope! The Lord of Hosts is with us! He alone is our keeper.
He will not let His children slip or fall. We are held in the palm of His hand.

Let us do as Christ did. He "committed himself to him that judgeth righteously"
(1 Peter 2:23). "To commit" is to place your life completely in His hands. Give
up your struggle, quit trying to accomplish anything in your own strength, and
commit the keeping of your body and soul to the Lord of Hosts!

Two Absolutes: I am passing this on to all of you, it is a blessing to read it. Note: Jordan is much better, I thank all of you who prayed for her and her family.

TWO ABSOLUTES
by David Wilkerson
[May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011]

The longer I live for Christ, the more difficult it is for me to accept easy,
cure-all solutions. But in my own struggles, I have found great comfort and
help in two wonderful absolutes.

The first absolute: GOD REALLY LOVES ME. God is not in the business of
condemning His children, failures or not. He is a loving Father, wanting only
to lift us out of our weaknesses.

I caught a glimpse of that love recently while walking in the woods around our
ranch. Not once did I stop to consider the birds flying about, free and
healthy. But suddenly, on the ground just ahead, a crippled little bird flopped
around. Struggling so hard to fly, the baby bird could only flip over helplessly
in the dust. I stooped to pick it up. It was then a familiar Scripture came
flashing through my mind. "Not one [sparrow] shall fall on the ground without
your Father" (Matthew 10:29).

I once thought that verse read, "Not a sparrow falls to the ground without the
Father knowing about it." But Matthew's version states, "One shall not fall
without the Father."

God is with us, even when we fall. The Father does not fall into our sin, but
He does come down to our fallen condition. He does not abandon us on our way
down. For, you see, we are that sparrow.

Sometimes we recognize His great love only when we hit bottom. You will have
won a great victory if you can be convinced God loves you even in your wounded,
crippled condition. Our strength is renewed by His everlasting love. Just rest
in that wonderful love. Don't panic. Deliverance will come.

The second absolute: IT IS MY FAITH THAT PLEASES HIM THE MOST! "Without faith,
it is impossible to please him" (Hebrews 11:6). God counts our trust as
righteousness. “Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for
righteousness” (Romans 4:3).

I may not understand why He sometimes seems to take a long time to intervene,
but I know He will keep His word to me.

PRAYER ALERT!! PRAY FOR JORDAN!!

PRAYER ALERT!!

To all my friends in Jesus Christ I am asking you to pray for a 13 year old young evangelist, her name is Jordan, last Sunday she preached a very good teaching the enemy did not like and all week she has been ill and now it is worse, she has been throwing up green stuff with blood and is being taken to the hospital as I write this. This all started out as what looked like a common cold or virus and now the enemy has increased his attack. We are calling her healed in Jesus name!!. By the blood of Jesus and by his stripes she is healed and we pray comfort and love for her family. The enemies plan will not succeed. We call Jordan healed and with new anointing and the hedge of protection and the blood of Jesus over her, her family and her ministry.    

Do not ever get the spirit of this world confused with the Holy Spirit. I am passing this on to all of you.

April 12, 2013. Do not ever get the spirit of this world confused with the Holy Spirit. The former will destroy you, your family and whatever else you hold dear. It is from the devil, pure and simple. What you want is the Spirit which is from God. God has willed to His children all the bounties Heaven has stored. His will is a living will and thus is ready for activation as the Spirit brings to light His intentions toward the intended beneficiary. You are the beneficiary. The transfer is ready. Ask.

 

1 Corinthians 2:12 "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God."

The wonderful word of God is Alive!!

Hebrews 4:12-13 (NLT) "For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable."

Inexpensive Love by David Wilkerson; read and heed!

INEXPENSIVE LOVE
by David Wilkerson
[May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011]

When I use the word "lukewarm" to describe a person's love for Jesus, I don't
mean he is cold toward the Lord. Rather, I mean his love is "inexpensive"—not
costly. Let me give you an example: When Jesus addresses the church at Ephesus
in Revelation 2, He first commends them for all they have done. He acknowledges
that they have labored hard in the faith—hating sin and compromise, refusing
to accept false doctrines, never fainting or giving up when persecuted, always
taking a stand for the gospel. But, Christ says, He holds one thing against
them: They have forsaken their fervent, expensive love for Him! "Nevertheless I
have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love" (Revelation
2:4).

Somehow amid all their good works, they left behind their loving, disciplined
walk with Jesus. And now He tells them, "You have left your first love and
forsaken the costly discipline of coming into My presence to commune with Me."

Please note: Jesus is speaking here of believers who started out with a burning
love for Him, not to cold, nominal Christians who never loved Him in the first
place. He is saying, "It's possible for someone who once had a heart of love
for Me to let his zeal become lukewarm, seldom praying at all."

Think about how insulting this must be to Christ, our Bridegroom. What kind of
marriage can there be when a husband and wife have no private times of
intimacy? And that's just what Jesus is talking about here. He wants moments
with you all to Himself!

It does not matter how loudly you praise the Lord in church, how much you say
you love Him, how many tears you shed. You can give generously, love others,
hate sin, rebuke wrongdoers, but if your heart is not being continually drawn
to Christ's presence, you have lost your love for Him.

All our works are in vain unless we return to our bright, burning love for
Jesus. We have to realize, "Loving Jesus isn't just about doing things. It
involves the daily discipline of maintaining a relationship, and that will cost
me something."

THERE IS A DIA...BOLICAL PLAN TO CAUSE YOU TO DOUBT GOD. More now than at any other time in history! Shared from Sid Roth. Read and Heed this!

So many Christians are dying prematurely from cancer and other dread diseases. Many appear to have strong faith. Some would question why they died; others would think, "If they died and they had more faith than me, then maybe faith in the promises of God's Word for healing do not work. That is exactly what the devil tried to do with Job! Doubt and unbelief will cripple your faith.

THERE IS A DIA...BOLICAL PLAN TO CAUSE YOU TO DOUBT GOD. More now than at any other time in history!

Why now? Because this is the wrap up of all things. If God can trust you with little things, He is ready to trust you with big things. Jesus is ready to return. Even a non-believer can see end time events are speeding up! The world is getting darker and darker. It is a demonic thick darkness. If you do not move forward in God, you are deceived. If you are coasting, you are backslidden and dangerously close to deception. When Jesus returns, will He find faith on this earth?

We are at a crossroads. Those that choose to move forward with God will find themselves entering a new level of Glory. You will see the same miracles Jesus demonstrated and even greater. Your job is to be a believer. God's job is the miracle.

God speaks of this distinction in Isaiah 60:1-3, "ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you—rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!
For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you, and His glory shall be seen on you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising."

Thank you for prayers and Ezekiel 36:26-27

Ezekiel 36:26-27 (MSG) "I'll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you. I'll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that's God-willed, not self-willed." 

I and Amy thank all of you who prayed for her in her time of need, she felt the prayers and the Lord healed her. All the glory goes to the Lord.

Pray for Amy and Hebrews 12:26-27

Below I will put a new post, something to think about and pray over. I am also asking that you pray for my wife Amy who is in the Philippines visiting her family and doing the Lord's work by bring people to the Lord. Yesterday I got a call from her, she had to go to the doctor because she will ill with something, the doctor said that she had some king of viral infection and she had to be admitted to the hospital. I think that this is Satan's way of interfering in the Lord's work and I for one will not stand for it. I have prayed for her and have got friends of ours praying for her and I am asking for your help, would you please pray for her to get healed and continue the Lord's work and to enjoy her time with her family. I love you all and may God bless you all.


Hebrews 12:26-27 (NASB) "And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, "YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN."  This expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain."  

 

God has given us his promise and his oath.

Hebrews 6:18-19 (NLT) "So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God's inner sanctuary."

Proverbs 16:6-7, Think and pray about this proverb.

Proverbs 16:6-7 (AMP) "By mercy and love, truth and fidelity [to God and man-not by sacrificial offerings], iniquity is purged out of the heart, and by the reverent, worshipful fear of the Lord men depart from and avoid evil. When a man's ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."

Hosea 10:12

Hosea 10:12 (NLT) "I said, 'Plant the good seeds of righteousness, and you will harvest a crop of love. Plow up the hard ground of your hearts, for now is the time to seek the LORD, that he may come and shower righteousness upon you.'"

Psalm 1:1-3 and proverbs 3:5-6

Psalm 1:1-3 (NLT) "Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do."

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths."

Matthew 3:7 Spurgeons Daily Devotional

"The wrath to come."
Matthew 3:7

It is pleasant to pass over a country after a storm has spent itself; to smell the freshness of the herbs after the rain has passed away, and to note the drops while they glisten like purest diamonds in the sunlight. That is the position of a Christian. He is going through a land where the storm has spent itself upon His Saviour's head, and if there be a few drops of sorrow falling, they distil from clouds of mercy, and Jesus cheers him by the assurance that they are not for his destruction. But how terrible is it to witness the approach of a tempest: to note the forewarnings of the storm; to mark the birds of heaven as they droop their wings; to see the cattle as they lay their heads low in terror; to discern the face of the sky as it groweth black, and look to the sun which shineth not, and the heavens which are angry and frowning! How terrible to await the dread advance of a hurricane--such as occurs, sometimes, in the tropics--to wait in terrible apprehension till the wind shall rush forth in fury, tearing up trees from their roots, forcing rocks from their pedestals, and hurling down all the dwelling-places of man! And yet, sinner, this is your present position. No hot drops have as yet fallen, but a shower of fire is coming. No terrible winds howl around you, but God's tempest is gathering its dread artillery. As yet the water-floods are dammed up by mercy, but the flood-gates shall soon be opened: the thunderbolts of God are yet in His storehouse, but lo! the tempest hastens, and how awful shall that moment be when God, robed in vengeance, shall march forth in fury! Where, where, where, O sinner, wilt thou hide thy head, or whither wilt thou flee? O that the hand of mercy may now lead you to Christ! He is freely set before you in the gospel: His riven side is the rock of shelter. Thou knowest thy need of Him; believe in Him, cast thyself upon Him, and then the fury shall be overpast for ever.

Trust In the Lord

Genesis 15:1 (NLT) "Some time later, the LORD spoke to Abram in a vision and said to him, "Do not be afraid, Abram, for I will protect you, and your reward will be great." Hebrews 10:35 (NLT) "So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you!"

Romans 8:28-29 (NLT) "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters"

Genesis 49:24 God gives us strength. Spurgeon's Devotional

"His bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob."
Genesis 49:24

That strength which God gives to His Josephs is real strength; it is not a boasted valour, a fiction, a thing of which men talk, but which ends in smoke; it is true--divine strength. Why does Joseph stand against temptation? Because God gives him aid. There is nought that we can do without the power of God. All true strength comes from "the mighty God of Jacob." Notice in what a blessedly familiar way God gives this strength to Joseph--"The arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob." Thus God is represented as putting His hands on Joseph's hands, placing His arms on Joseph's arms. Like as a father teaches his children, so the Lord teaches them that fear Him. He puts His arms upon them. Marvellous condescension! God Almighty, Eternal, Omnipotent, stoops from His throne and lays His hand upon the child's hand, stretching His arm upon the arm of Joseph, that he may be made strong! This strength was also covenant strength, for it is ascribed to "the mighty God of Jacob." Now, wherever you read of the God of Jacob in the Bible, you should remember the covenant with Jacob. Christians love to think of God's covenant. All the power, all the grace, all the blessings, all the mercies, all the comforts, all the things we have, flow to us from the well-head, through the covenant. If there were no covenant, then we should fail indeed; for all grace proceeds from it, as light and heat from the sun. No angels ascend or descend, save upon that ladder which Jacob saw, at the top of which stood a covenant God. Christian, it may be that the archers have sorely grieved you, and shot at you, and wounded you, but still your bow abides in strength; be sure, then, to ascribe all the glory to Jacob's God.

He Has Said. Hebrews 13:5 Spurgeons Devotional

"He hath said."
Hebrews 13:5

If we can only grasp these words by faith, we have an all-conquering weapon in our hand. What doubt will not be slain by this two-edged sword? What fear is there which shall not fall smitten with a deadly wound before this arrow from the bow of God's covenant? Will not the distresses of life and the pangs of death; will not the corruptions within, and the snares without; will not the trials from above, and the temptations from beneath, all seem but light afflictions, when we can hide ourselves beneath the bulwark of "He hath said"? Yes; whether for delight in our quietude, or for strength in our conflict, "He hath said" must be our daily resort. And this may teach us the extreme value of searching the Scriptures. There may be a promise in the Word which would exactly fit your case, but you may not know of it, and therefore you miss its comfort. You are like prisoners in a dungeon, and there may be one key in the bunch which would unlock the door, and you might be free; but if you will not look for it, you may remain a prisoner still, though liberty is so near at hand. There may be a potent medicine in the great pharmacopoeia of Scripture, and you may yet continue sick unless you will examine and search the Scriptures to discover what "He hath said." Should you not, besides reading the Bible, store your memories richly with the promises of God? You can recollect the sayings of great men; you treasure up the verses of renowned poets; ought you not to be profound in your knowledge of the words of God, so that you may be able to quote them readily when you would solve a difficulty, or overthrow a doubt? Since "He hath said" is the source of all wisdom, and the fountain of all comfort, let it dwell in you richly, as "A well of water, springing up unto everlasting life." So shall you grow healthy, strong, and happy in the divine life.

Mercy Triumphs over judgement. James 2:11-13

James 2:11-13 (NKJV) "So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment."

Do you find others? Spurgeon's Daily Devotional

"He first findeth his own brother Simon."
John 1:41

This case is an excellent pattern of all cases where spiritual life is vigorous. As soon as a man has found Christ, he begins to find others. I will not believe that thou hast tasted of the honey of the gospel if thou canst eat it all thyself. True grace puts an end to all spiritual monopoly. Andrew first found his own brother Simon, and then others. Relationship has a very strong demand upon our first individual efforts. Andrew, thou didst well to begin with Simon. I doubt whether there are not some Christians giving away tracts at other people's houses who would do well to give away a tract at their own--whether there are not some engaged in works of usefulness abroad who are neglecting their special sphere of usefulness at home. Thou mayst or thou mayst not be called to evangelize the people in any particular locality, but certainly thou art called to see after thine own servants, thine own kinsfolk and acquaintance. Let thy religion begin at home. Many tradesmen export their best commodities--the Christian should not. He should have all his conversation everywhere of the best savour; but let him have a care to put forth the sweetest fruit of spiritual life and testimony in his own family. When Andrew went to find his brother, he little imagined how eminent Simon would become. Simon Peter was worth ten Andrews so far as we can gather from sacred history, and yet Andrew was instrumental in bringing him to Jesus. You may be very deficient in talent yourself, and yet you may be the means of drawing to Christ one who shall become eminent in grace and service. Ah! dear friend, you little know the possibilities which are in you. You may but speak a word to a child, and in that child there may be slumbering a noble heart which shall stir the Christian church in years to come. Andrew has only two talents, but he finds Peter. Go thou and do likewise.

God is greater then our heart. 1 John 3: 20-22

1 John 3:20-22 (NKJV) "For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

Job 10:2 If not for trails; Spurgeon's Daily Devotional

"Shew me wherefore thou contendest with me."
Job 10:2

Perhaps, O tried soul, the Lord is doing this to develop thy graces. There are some of thy graces which would never be discovered if it were not for thy trials. Dost thou not know that thy faith never looks so grand in summer weather as it does in winter? Love is too often like a glow-worm, showing but little light except it be in the midst of surrounding darkness. Hope itself is like a star--not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity. Afflictions are often the black foils in which God doth set the jewels of His children's graces, to make them shine the better. It was but a little while ago that on thy knees thou wast saying, "Lord, I fear I have no faith: let me know that I have faith." Was not this really, though perhaps unconsciously, praying for trials?--for how canst thou know that thou hast faith until thy faith is exercised? Depend upon it, God often sends us trials that our graces may be discovered, and that we may be certified of their existence. Besides, it is not merely discovery, real growth in grace is the result of sanctified trials. God often takes away our comforts and our privileges in order to make us better Christians. He trains His soldiers, not in tents of ease and luxury, but by turning them out and using them to forced marches and hard service. He makes them ford through streams, and swim through rivers, and climb mountains, and walk many a long mile with heavy knapsacks of sorrow on their backs. Well, Christian, may not this account for the troubles through which thou art passing? Is not the Lord bringing out your graces, and making them grow? Is not this the reason why He is contending with you?

"Trials make the promise sweet;
Trials give new life to prayer;
Trials bring me to His feet,
Lay me low, and keep me there."

To Him be glory both now and forever. Spurgeon's Daily Devotional

"To Him be glory both now and forever."
2 Peter 3:18

Heaven will be full of the ceaseless praises of Jesus. Eternity! thine unnumbered years shall speed their everlasting course, but forever and for ever, "to Him be glory." Is He not a "Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek"? "To Him be glory." Is He not king for ever?--King of kings and Lord of lords, the everlasting Father? "To Him be glory for ever." Never shall His praises cease. That which was bought with blood deserves to last while immortality endures. The glory of the cross must never be eclipsed; the lustre of the grave and of the resurrection must never be dimmed. O Jesus! thou shalt be praised for ever. Long as immortal spirits live--long as the Father's throne endures--for ever, for ever, unto Thee shall be glory. Believer, you are anticipating the time when you shall join the saints above in ascribing all glory to Jesus; but are you glorifying Him now? The apostle's words are, "To Him be glory both now and for ever." Will you not this day make it your prayer? "Lord, help me to glorify Thee; I am poor, help me to glorify Thee by contentment; I am sick, help me to give Thee honour by patience; I have talents, help me to extol Thee by spending them for Thee; I have time, Lord, help me to redeem it, that I may serve thee; I have a heart to feel, Lord, let that heart feel no love but Thine, and glow with no flame but affection for Thee; I have a head to think, Lord, help me to think of Thee and for Thee; Thou hast put me in this world for something, Lord, show me what that is, and help me to work out my life-purpose: I cannot do much, but as the widow put in her two mites, which were all her living, so, Lord, I cast my time and eternity too into Thy treasury; I am all Thine; take me, and enable me to glorify Thee now, in all that I say, in all that I do, and with all that I have."

You have a continual allowance. Spurgeon's Daily Devotional

February 14th AM

"And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life."
2 Kings 25:30

Jehoiachin was not sent away from the king's palace with a store to last him for months, but his provision was given him as a daily pension. Herein he well pictures the happy position of all the Lord's people. A daily portion is all that a man really wants. We do not need tomorrow's supplies; that day has not yet dawned, and its wants are as yet unborn. The thirst which we may suffer in the month of June does not need to be quenched in February, for we do not feel it yet; if we have enough for each day as the days arrive we shall never know want. Sufficient for the day is all that we can enjoy. We cannot eat or drink or wear more than the day's supply of food and raiment; the surplus gives us the care of storing it, and the anxiety of watching against a thief. One staff aids a traveller, but a bundle of staves is a heavy burden. Enough is not only as good as a feast, but is all that the veriest glutton can truly enjoy. This is all that we should expect; a craving for more than this is ungrateful. When our Father does not give us more, we should be content with his daily allowance. Jehoiachin's case is ours, we have a sure portion, a portion given us of the king, a gracious portion, and a perpetual portion. Here is surely ground for thankfulness.

Beloved Christian reader, in matters of grace you need a daily supply. You have no store of strength. Day by day must you seek help from above. It is a very sweet assurance that a daily portion is provided for you. In the word, through the ministry, by meditation, in prayer, and waiting upon God you shall receive renewed strength. In Jesus all needful things are laid up for you. Then enjoy your continual allowance. Never go hungry while the daily bread of grace is on the table of mercy.

My time with the Lord yesterday

Yesterday (Tuesday Feb. 12, 2013) I started my day off by taking care of an errand then when I got home my wife was not home so I assumed she was out doing something, so I felt called by the Lord to find a peaceful place for the day and talk to Him. The Lord had me finish a book called, " The Harbinger" by Jonathan Cahn, then the Lord and I talked. I had a wonderful time with the Lord, it was out of this world. I have always loved this country but now I have even more of a burden for this country then I did before. I have always prayed for the US of A, but now it will be more. I have long known that this country has been headed in the wrong direction ( away from God ) and on my website have written sermons (or teachings) as led by the Lord about this. This country is headed in the same direction that Israel over two thousand years ago and what happened to Israel is happing with the United States now in the present time, remember 9-11 and the twin towers. This country has called judgment upon itself by its own leaders words and matches up with biblical verses from Isaiah almost word by word from Isaiah 9:10, the different leaders of ours did not know that they were pronouncing judgment, they were meant as words of comfort. I will talk more about this in my upcoming teaching that the Lord has me working on. It is not too late for this country if we turn back to God. Read and pray for this country 2 Chronicles, chapter 7, verse 14.
" If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

Philippians 4:8-9 Praise and not curse.

Philippians 4:8-9 (MSG) "Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious-the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.  Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies."
