Listen

As I have listened to the news accounts the last few days, my spirit has been stirred within me.  America our time is running short.  Why all of a sudden is there a promotion of same sex marriage?  It seems the pit of hell has unleashed a barrage against Biblical truth concerning marriage.  All of a sudden it is about minorities and fairness, not about Biblical truth.  I declare to you this day that if this nation makes same sex marriage legal, this nation will face an angry God.  We have murdered innocent children for convenience for over 40 years and God has been patient.  If we spit in God's face with this despicably lifestyle, I fear for this country.  Oh my God how far have we fallen?  My heart burns within me that this  nation would finally wake up and see the error of it's ways.  Church, wake up and set your face like flint!  Men and women of God begin to cry out to the Lord and pray that Godly men and women in pulpits all across this land would find their voice and speak out against this evil from the pit of Hell.  God will not be mocked, what was sin before, is still sin.  We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but principalities, and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.  We are surrounded but we are not defeated!  Be encouraged as you read the account of Elisha in 2 Kings 6:8-18, remember those who are with us are more than those who are against us.  God bless you as you pray against evil.  Get ready to fly!

The Cross

As we approach Easter, let's remember the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus paid for humanity.  Many times we focus on the pain and suffering and the ultimate death on a cross.  Let us also remember he emptied Himself of his divine attributes and limited Himself to the form of man.  Humbled Himself and became obedient for our sakes.  Jesus came into the world not to condemn the world, but to redeem it.  Redeem means to buy back as if your were a slave, and that is exactly what we were.  Sold out to the Devil in slavery to sin and rebellion.  God so loved the world He gave...gave the most precious gift there ever could be.  God gave of Himself, of His very existence and for you and me.  Please avail yourself of this wondrous gift, a free gift that cost nothing more than our obedience.  Jesus came that we might have life and have it in an abundant measure.  When Jesus was on the cross each one of us was on His mind.  Salvation is free to us, and blessing are unlimited.  If you don't know Jesus as your saviour, pray a simple prayer, Jesus forgive me and save me!  It's that simple.  Pray, believe, and receive it!  God Bless.  Get ready to fly!

A Mighty Man of Valor

In Judges Chapter 6 we see a story of the Angel of the Lord coming to Gedeon and calling him a mighty man of valor.  At the time Gedeon was hiding from the Midianites trying to thrash out some grain to feed himself.  Gedeon expressed concern and asked how he, the least of his tribe and one of the least in the Kingdom of Israel could ever hope to break free from the bondage of the Midianites.  The Lord assured him that "SURELY I WILL BE WITH YOU!'  Isn't that all we need to hear, that the Lord will be with us.  That simple phrase should cause us to triumph in any and all situations.  What God was saying to Gedeon was that I AM THAT I AM is here.  No 1, God is all sufficient for us.  No. 2, God has all ability.  No. 3, God will perform what he says.  God further told Gedeon "HAVE I NOT SENT YOU?"  That my friends is all we need to hear, that God will be with us when He sends us out to do something.  How many have thought of a ministry that you could do only if God were with you.  The good news is that He is.  Jesus told us in Matthew 28:20 that he wold be with us always.  He is through the Holy Spirit.  Let's do something for Christ, ask God to be with you and become a mighty man or woman of valor for Jesus.   Remember the Angel of the Lord called Gedeon a might man of valor while he was still in bondage to the Midianites.  God calls those things which be not as though they are!!  Get ready to fly!

Apostasy

I. Timothy 4:1 says that "Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons."  In other words people will leave the faith and actively work against the things of God.  Not just a falling away from the faith, but trying to destroy or malign the beliefs of Christians.  As a young man I knew people who weren't Christians, but would respect our faith and beliefs.  Today there is an absolute hatred and opposition of anything that is Christian.  We are experiencing a world wide culture war that is promoting anything that stands in opposition to the things of God.  Today we are ridiculed and told we are holding back the evolution of mankind.  Old fashioned and narrow minded are the nicest things that are said about the godly man or woman.  Apostasy is the outright fighting against that which is of God or pleases God.  Listen to TV or the movies and our politicians who constantly impugn our faith.  God help and forgive them.  I will stand for Christ and do not care one bit if I am old fashioned or out of touch.  Being In Christ, means I have no desire to please this world or the things of the world.  God Bless!  Get ready to fly!!
