2 Chronicles 7: 13-14

2 Chronicles 7: 13-14

13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.           

We live in sinful times, we as a people have turned away from God. God does not want evil to befall his children, but calamity and fear often drive us back to Him. Right now there is a virus codenamed COVID-19 spreading around the world. It is not as dangerous as the media claims, and yet the fear has lead to an almost complete shutdown of the global economy. We must have confidence that God protects those who call on His name, and call themselves by His name. We must also seek him and follow after him. Turn away from false idols, vain imaginations of the mind and seek after God and His righteousness. When we seek God, we will find Him, Jeremiah 29: 13 says “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”

Seeking is an active pursuit, turning from wickedness is an action, God requires action from His people, but it is not without promise, and the promise is worth the effort. I can look back on my life and I see the difference in my life when I sought God from those times in which I had backslid, when my fire was burning low. I have felt desperate, alone and been in dark places, but God is stronger than our fears and our loneliness. He is worth serving, and he believes that each person is worth saving. We must take the first step, and as we work toward coming to God He will come to us as well.  Turn, and seek the LORD your God wholeheartedly, and reap the fields of His goodness.

Amen.

A battle cry

Brothers and sisters in Christ, it is time for us to issue forth a battle cry in the heartland of America. Our nation is falling away from us, drifting further and further into chaos, Godlessness, and depravity. The nation that we all know and love is slowly being deformed through its own sin. We must fight for our country, fight like Abijah and his might army who would not back down, but relied on God and shouted a might shout (II Chronicles 13: 15) and found victory against overwhelming odds. Our battle cry should shake the foundations of the Earth as well call on God to save America. Evil is trying to take over the heart of our world, and it is finding more and more power in America though the lies and deception of those who vaunt themselves against God. Even now there is an agenda that is finding its way into our nation, poisoning it from the inside, but as Christians we must rally behind our banner, we must look to the hill for the standard given to us and say no more, we will no longer allow sin and darkness to gain ground, but instead we will fight with all that we have. Lift our voices to God in unison and let us give no room to darkness. We have to fight, if we stop fighting then we will allow evil to reign, fight like our lives depend on it.

 

Amen

Casting away

The Bible is filled with commands and examples of why we aught to cast away those things that are not of God, which can lead to the dissolving of relationships. While it may seem like the opposite direction than we would find from a God who is not willing that any should perish (II Peter 3:9), yet it is something that even Jesus taught us. Jesus said to his disciples “Do not give what is Holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearl before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” (Matthew 7:6) Rather we must be a good watchman, like Ezekiel 33, and warn the people and if they refuse to hear we will have done our part. Even the disciples were sent into cities, and those that would not listen, the disciples were to dust their feet off at the gates and they would face God’ judgement. II Corinthians 10:5 reads “casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God…”

There is a clear distinction between sinners who are in need of saving, and those who set themselves against God and will not come to Him. Our job, as sharers of the word then becomes to share it, and let each man come to God or not. We must witness to all, but know that some will never follow God, but will always chase after evil, and it is these that we must have nothing to do with. Dine with sinners who will recognize God, such as Matthew the tax collector turned disciple. When light allows itself to be polluted by persistent darkness it can drown out that light. This happened to Israel when king Asa, who walked in the ways of God and cast out idolatry in Israel left the groves, which left open a door to sin, which was walked through by a future king. This time of sinfulness lead Israel to being punished for their darkness until Hezekiah would tear down the groves, fully cleansing Israel of those temptations into sin, he had separated light from dark, and cast out the darkness. Do not be afraid to cast aside stumbling blocks for fear that you may not save a certain soul, some souls will not allow themselves to feel God’s love, and all we can do is walk away and keep praying for them and maybe God will send another to heal them and bring them into His will.

Amen.

Misconception

There is a misconception within modern day Christianity, and it comes in regard to the adversary the devil, and to his minions. Many people nowadays believe that the devil lives in hell, where he rules like a king and sends his demonic host. In scripture however, we read something else. In 1 Peter 5:8 we read that the devil walks about the earth like a lion, seeking those he may devour, which matches the narative found in Job 1. The devil, satan, Lucifer whatever name you choose to call him has set himself against God, and he aims to corrupt and ruin as many humans as he can, deceiving them from the begining to go against the will of God. demons like wise live on the earth and they try to possess and to deceive in order that they might turn as many away from God as they could. Hell is also commonly mistaken, the modern churches depiction of hell is actualy a mix of several concepts from scripture. There is Hades, or the pit a spot deep inside the Earth that swallows souls, and the lake of fire, a place set aside for after the day of judgement, a place that satan, the false prophet, demons, the anti-christ, and any who do not turn to God, will be tossed into to suffer for time eternal. Hell is not a kingdom, it is going to be a place of pain for all spirits that are not of God, and there is only one way to escape it, and that is by following the Lord Jesus, who is the Christ, the only Son of the living God. Satan is not peaceful, is not here to help people or to help them, he is out to destroy all that is of God. Satan convinces individuals to “love themselves” and to do anything that will bring them happiness or pleasure, but this is not true love, it is a love aimed at corrupting and twisting the individuals sense of self worth and morality. It turns them away from God and righteousness. Satanists claim they do not follow or believe in satan, but the fruit they bear says otherwise, they will share his image, they claim he is nice and kind. Satanists promote sexuality and other forms of unrighteousness, andsay that they love themselves and are only sharing that love, which is not true, for their definition of love is perverted and mistaken, for they are confusing lust and passion with love. True love is less about happiness, but sacrifice. Do not let the media deceive you, for God is real, and is coming and we should stand with him.

Australia fires

Australia has always been plagued with intense bushfires, but 2019 saw the worst fire season on record. Many climate activists instantly wanted to credit this to global warming, however Australia soon learned, this may not be the true perpetrator, instead nearly 200 arrests were made for fire related offenses, including 24 for intentionally starting brush fires. Those numbers are striking, and gives us new insight into many of our worlds true problems, people and their actions, whether from a lack of understanding, or a lack of empathy and heart issues (heart here being the soul of a person, not the physical heart) has caused devastation. To all those who have suffered loss, all the animals that have been killed, the people who have lost homes, family, and ways of life this must be harder than hearing that it was an event like climate change, but that rather it was evil and wickedness from people that caused such devastation. After reports came down of the number of arrests, it took about a week for the liberal media to begin to converge on the reports, looking to negate the importance of human. involvment, but instead try and shift the focus back onto climate change. The truth is that when you take into account that fire season is a real thing, long before the climate change era, and that it happens every year, and then add to it humans lighting fires, some of which were Muslims who laughed at the idea, it is no wonder we are faced with one of the worst fires in recorded history. Anytime people begin to go and start to set fires with evil intent, it is going to have a larger impact than when nature takes its course. People need to take more responsibility for  human action, and try to find ways to connect with each other, not blame all calamities on climate change, but recognize the importance of a good heart. The truth is is that humans are responsible for all the terrible things happening, but not becuase of the fact we drive cars or eat meat and dairy, the truth is that we are drifting farther and farther away from the one true God, and so he is turning away from us, and this is why He is unleashing his plagues upon the Earth. We do need to make a change, and we can leave a better world, but it is not in changing our diets, taxing cattle farmers, or in getting rid of personal possessions, but rahter in turning to God and seeking Him.

God bless.

Turn to God

I must urge each and every individual who reads this, if you are not already right with God, then turn to Him. Confess that Jesus is Lord, and follow him in all your ways. This world is not forever, and the things of this world will disappear, flee therefore from secular living, and seek out God, sell what you have and buy hte field for the treasure that lies within it. Brothers and sisters, if you do not have the joy of Christ living inside you now, let me tell you this, turn to him and seek him, find that treasure, nothing on Earth compares to the joy of the Holy Spirit living in our hearts, driving us closer and closer into the heart of God. I have had quite the life, I have had many memorable experiences, but nothing I have ever experienced cpmes close to the feeling of closeness with God, when you are so near to him that you would not only live your life, but would live it for him, and be willing to sacrifice anything to be that much closer to him. Brothers and sisters there is nothing like living in closeness with God, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and witnessing as your cup runs over and fills others, emptying yourself that you may be filled again. Zealously seeking God with a firey passion burning inside your soul, there is no other life or feeling that can even come close to the feeling of this type of life, and it is the calling of each of us to live with such zeal for God. I pray that each individual, Christian or those still seeking their way in life, would be able to be touched by God, and to recieve this feeling of being filled with Godly love. If you will turn to him, and seek him with all of you heart, mind and soul not only will you experience pure joy, but you will find yourself changing, and those with you changing into mighty men and women of God, capable of shaking the foundations of the world and bringing others into the love of Christ. Turn to him, and let Him be God in your lives, and see the joy.

Amen.

Pride of climate change

The world has begun to truly elevate itself, mankind has always wanted to compare itself with the mosst high God, and now man has laid claim to the ability to affect the weather and the heavens. Take heed oh man, for what is a man that he believes he could control the heavens,there is but one who can control the heavens and the weather, and he alone is God. How prideful are you oh man, that you say that you can control weather like you are God, but only God has this power. Your world suffers from your pride, and yet you will not turn to me. The rains will be withheld from your world in the days to come, and more than this, and yet you will not repent. You will not turn back to the Lord your God, but will serve after gods you have made for yourselves. You worship the vain imaginations of your men of science and of your kings, but you will not hear the voice of those who cry the word of God, and for this and much worse the punishments of God will come to this world. Man says the world will end from your cars and your electricity, but God alone can destroy this world, and will do so when the day comes. There is no man with the power to control the heavens, but only God. Humble yourselves before God, and seek Him that we may be spared the judgements to come. Seek God that He may stay His hand for a season longer.

Amen.

Stay vigilant

America it is important now more than ever that we stay vigilant to what is happening in America, in the media and around the world. There are many great deceptions that are being forced upon us, these are apart of seperate agendas, but of one great plan, for an elite group to seize control. What I am about to lay out will sound crazy, but I assure you that what follows is not craziness, but a terrible human agenda that is lead by spiritual wickedness in high places. Vaccinations, the food we eat, socialism, climate change, public education, and politically correctness are all apart of a powerful elite agenda that is aimed at, as stated earlier, a group gaining complete control. The food that we eat is becoming more and more manufactured, and less real, this is not to save people money, but to control the food supply. Vaccinations are aimed at making people sick, and to kill us off or make us far more reliant on the medical system (which is going to collapse in the coming years if we stay one our track). These two claims seem wild in themselves, but remember a large focus of the climate change propoganda is that humans are overpopulated, and it is not unheard of for America to use vaccines for overpopulated animals, which is what they have done with deer and wild horses (see again, control the food supply.) With the teachings of evolution they teach humanity is just another animal, so it is reasonable to assume that they will justify to themselves the same way. Under climate change they will attempt to eradicate a large portion of the population, which they have already begun (vaccinations, non meat products, Killing wild life that is a food source to many, abortions, chemotherapy and more). Human beings are so prideful that we now believe that we can control the weather, something that is impossible for mankind. Political correctness and socialism are going to be the final nails in the coffin. Under political correctness it is no longer ok to speak the truth about many problems, but it becomes ok to mock God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and under socialism it will become illegal to be a Christian or to talk about God. Once America has fully turned it’s back against God it will be too late, for He will not stay His hand any longer at that time. We must wake up to what is happening and make a stand. These agendas have been in play for a long time, for our enemy is patient, and be warned, this is a hostile ideology that has been poisoning America for quite sometime, slowly numbing us to the hard truth that our own government will attempt to do us harm, but we can stop it, and we must.

 

Amen.

Dominion over the Earth

When we read the Bible we learn about so many different things, we learn about the history of the world, how it was all created, we learn about the history of mankind and why so many things are the way that they currently are. One thing we learn about in Genesis is that man was given dominion over the Earth. To me to have dominion is to be responsible for it, to be the caretaker of it, to be like one’s house or business, your purpose is to leave it better off than the way that you had found it. When I hear that man has dominion over the Earth, I do not see it as meaning to exploit it, but to utilize it to it’s full potential. To improve it and increase it, to increase it’s value and to ensure that the future generations will have a successful time and will have been set up to improve it as well. Now many claim that we are actually destroying the Earth right now, that the way that we are using it is going to ultimately destroy it, the problem however with this claim is that the science is heavily biased, and the main talking points and rhetoric have become just that. There is no denying that the Earth is not as beautiful as it once was, and that many habits of people need to be changed, and that we need to take better care of the planet. I do not believe that our way of life is causing massive climate change/failure as some claim, but we should take better care of it, and many of the biggest problems can be fixed in the homes of each and every individual, without some massive panel telling us what we can or cannot do, as this is the ultimate endgame of the climate change pushers, to further take away rights of the individual, but rahter each parent can teach their children how to properly care for the Earth. It starts with parents educating their children about the Earth, about properly taking care of their trash, about reducing their individual waste and going out and planting trees. About seeing the value of each living thing, and how it can all connect with one another. I have met many hunters and fisherman, and while these individuals are painted as bloodthirsty killers, that could not be farther from the truth, they respect the animals and see it as a means to provide for their families. If each family would care for a pet, and plant a garden with their children, they would not only help our planet, but teach valuable lessons as well. Each family should strive to take better care of the planet by cleaning it and taking care of waste. I do not agree with the claim we are killing our planet, but I do feel as caretakers that we aught to clean it and do a better job of taking care of the Earth, as well as ourselves. Less supermarkets and more farms and home grown food. Not only will this be beneficial to the planet, but also to our family lives.

 

Amen.

U.N. Stance on Israel settlements

When the U.N. decided to stand with Palestine over Israel regarding Israeli settlements, particularly the new region of the Jordan Valley that Israel was trying to annex, it gave us an interesting paradigm of the times we are in, and are moving into. We know from the Bible that in the last days that all the nations of the Earth will rise up against Israel, and that Jerusalem will be surrounded by enemies. It is obvious that this is where we are headed too, Israel is surrounded by nations of Islam, many of which have sworn to destroy Israel and the Jews, and now 147 nations of the world have called to halt aid to Israel. If they are taking so strong a stance against Israel at this time, it can easily be inferred that they will only move more and more against Israel in the years to come, especially as political correctness, Islam, and communism continue to spread around and throughout the world. America is one the of the last nations to still defend Israel, and when the communist left rules America and fully sways the minds of the people, they will turn their backs on Israel as well, isolating them amongst a sea of vipers. This is why Americans must educate themselves on both scripture, as well as the times,and begin to take action, if we are not careful the church will silently slip away and our purpose and mission will be lost. We are to spread the message of Jesus to all the ends of the Earth, to be workers of the harvest saving souls, not simply going to church on Sundays, but fighting the holy and spiritual war for victory. We must pray for America, and we must pray for Israel and that God will hold off His judgement until we can save as many of the lost as possible.

Amen.
