Today is the day of choosing, whether to serve the living God, or the god of this world.

Tell me what does the god of this world offer that so many have chosen? What promises has he made to those who follow his teaching? What future is ahead for those who keep their heads down so that they cannot see what is coming? It is easy to follow him and his diciples that require you to live and think only of satisfying your flesh. They shout out at those who follow the living God, “Don’t be deceived by the promise of your God that our rein will be short lived.”

Our leaders have sold out to the god of this world, and look at what it has lead to. Do they know the meaning of the word ‘justice?’ No! These leaders plot evil and the results are violence throughout the land. Therefore, today is a day of trouble, insults, and disgrace.

The true follower of Jesus must not follow the crowd in doing wrong, or be swayed by the crowd to twist justice. They need to pray, and lay out before Him all of the atrocities being done in our land, and say, “O Lord rescue us from their power; then everyone will know that You alone are God.”

Therefore, since we have been made right with God through Jesus Christ by faith, we have His peace and promise for the future. We can rejoice when we run into problems and trials, because sin does not control the way we live. We need to have control over our bodies and not allow the body, both physical body and Christ’s body, to become an instrument of evil. Instead, we will use our whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. Remember that we are a slave of whatever we choose to obey. So choose to do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life. There truly is a reward for those who live for God.

Lord, everything is falling apart: wars throughout the world, threats of terrorism, lying leaders, and no one is safe on our streets. No one evens knows the truth, or even cares to know it. They have been told lies upon lies in our schools. We are governed by the sinful minority, who tell us that You do not exisit. They shout out at Your children, “What are you trusting in that makes you so confident? What makes you think that the Lord can rescue you?”

Do not ignore the cry of Your children for help! Please listen for we are overwhelmed by all of this. My heart pounds in my chest, because of the anger I have about what these wicked people say and do. They twist everything and Your people have become overwhelmed.

Son, these people don’t know where to find peace. But, what joy there is when a life has been cleared of sin. Being clear of sin is not based on being good, but on a right relationship with Me that comes by faith. 

So give your burdens to Me, and I will take care of you. In the days ahead there will be a great revival, and My children will stand for the truth and they will be martyred for it. Even though they have no reason for hope, they will keep believing, and will not waver in believing My promise even if it means death. In fact, their faith will grow stronger, because they will be fully convinced that I am able to do what I promised, and that is to raise them to life again with Me forever! 

So be strong, and do not fear, for I am coming! Soon you will walk on My Highway of Holiness; for only the redeemed can walk on it. The key to overcoming all that you see in the world, is you must learn to trust Me!

Are you ready for Jesus’ return?

He is coming, so His children must make a declaration! Shout it out for all to hear that you follow Jesus. Tell everyone who will listen that, “God is my helper, and it is by His power that keeps me alive! He has and will continue to rescue me from my troubles.” Now is the day and time for His children to be united and stand up; showing the world God’s salvation with His power and might.

When His children search the Bible, they will know what is coming and how to be prepared. What He has promised in the Bible – He will do, and by His Spirit will make it all come true. So take courage! For It will be just as He said.

Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God, and what is said in the Bible will not happen.” These people are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! Will these evil people ever learn? They never think of praying to God. Therefore, in the days ahead terror will grip them; terror like they have never known before. Why? Because God has rejected them, and tells them, “In the days ahead when you hear the truth, you will not understand it. When you see the way to go, you will not grasp it.” And all because their hearts have become hardened to the truth;  they will not turn to Me.

Therefore, My children prepare for my arrival!

What does it take to change slaves into free people?

Do you remember the day you left your place of slavery? What reminder do you have that will remind you of the power of the Lord’s mighty hand when He freed you? You need to celebrate every day what the Lord did for you.

What will you do in the days ahead when you are faced with a choice that might make you want to change your mind and return to slavery.  Will you say, “Who does the Lord think we are, when He speaks to us like this? Why are You doing this to me? What have I done to deserve this? Why did You make me go this way? Didn’t I tell You this would happen if I stood up for You. Coudn’t You just let us live out our lives in quietness! I would rather be a slave to the world than go through this.” 

The time is here when The Lord will begin to purge away the wickedness of the earth, and It is a foolish and stupid person to turn away from God. These foolish people think the coming destruction can never touch them, for they have built a strong refuge made of lies and deception. Therefore, the One who created them will show them no pity or mercy. 

But to those who refuse to turn back The Lord will go ahead of you. So don’t be afraid, just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you. The Lord Himself will fight for you; so just stay calm. Remember that when His glory is displayed through you, all the world will see His glory and know that He is Lord! When we see the mighty power of the Lord unleashed we will be filled with awe. 

 So why are you crying out, “Why Me?” We just need to get moving and keep moving! 

What makes a true leader? 

When times are good we choose leaders for many reasons. Some may look and act like a leader. Some might be successful and have great wealth. They might be religious and be great speakers. But, when things get hard these elected superficial leaders will fail!

So how do we know a true leader when we see one? Listen and pay attention to his words; for they are wise, truthful and full of insight. When we have God’s leader in position we will not be fearful when trouble comes. We will have confidence that he will lead us in the way we should go, doing what needs to be done for righteousness sake.  

God will expose those wanna-be leaders who trust in their wealth and boast of themselves. So don’t be discouraged, but be thankful and keep your faith in the Most High God. He will show us His leader as we repent and cry out to Him to heal our land.  

What we have today are wanna-be leaders, not true leaders. Listen to what they say, “Stop telling us about the coming judgments of God. Stop telling us your opinion of the truth; we have truth! We must all be politically correct and teach tolerance so we can all get along.” These false leaders need to lie about what is really going on, because if the people knew the truth – they would turn on these leaders and throw them out. So they tell everyone there is no reason to be afraid and gloomy. They reassure the people that it is okay to get off the narrow path. These fools want all talking about the Holy One – to stop! 

What blind fools to think they can hide their plans from the Lord, and get away with doing their evil deeds in the dark, thinking that the Lord can’t see them. How foolish! They are not greater than their Creator!  Should the created thing say of the One who made it, “He didn’t make me!” Who’s the stupid one here? What prideful arrogance!  A godly leader understands who his Lord and Saviour is, and he looks for what God is doing so he can cooperate with Him.

Lord, we need godly leaders in our country and in Your church. Help Your children to unite and seek out Your leaders that You have chosen and raised up to lead in such a time as this. Then as troubles keep coming we will know that You will rescue us. It is only when we know Your wisdom and will – that we will recognize the leader You have called and anointed. 

The earth suffers because of the sins of its people; for they have twisted God’s word, violated his laws, and broken His covenant. Therefore, He has set a day for judging the world with justice. He is about to destroy the earth, and the people that reject the Lord’s salvation must pay for their own sin.

Look at your cities; they are in chaos. People are afraid and they lock their homes to keep out intruders. Mobs gather in the streets, and their is no joy in life, it is quickly turning to all gloom. Soon the foundations of the earth will shake because all the foundations of righteousness have been destroyed by the wicked. 

God’s children must not be afraid, but keep speaking out with truth and the hope of Christ! Use the Bible to reason with people; explaing to them what the prophecies say and how to prepare. Tell them to search the Bible for the truth and see that what we are saying is the truth. When people begin to search out these things – many will believe.  So God’s children, don’t be silent!

God, You have said what You will do! But those who paid no attention to Your word will be left out in the open of Your judgment. Lord, Your light and truth will guide us. You are the source of all peace and joy. Therefore, I will praise You my God, and I will put my hope in You. You are my Savior and my God!

People who have become slaves are heathen at heart and resent the truth; full of bitter jealousy and are held captive by sin; a stubborn people. They refuse to listen to the truth and hate anyone who tells them what they are doing is wrong. They even refuse to believe that the Righteous One is coming soon. 

The Lord said, “I will punish the world for its evil-doing and the wicked for their sin of rebellion. I will crush the arrogance of the proud and humble the pride of the mighty. Man thinks that he has the power to make things happen as he has planned, and that he will control the universe. No, it will be as I have decided. For I have a plan for the whole earth and heavens. My hand of judgment is upon all the nations, and who can change My plans? When My hand is raised, who can stop Me?”

The word of the Lord holds true, THEREFORE, we can trust everything He says. The Lord promised that any nation that makes Him their Lord – He will watch over them, and rescue them in times of famine and disasters. His unfailing love will surround any nation whose hope is in Him alone.

Lord, it is a desperate time today. So much hate, distrust, and evil all around. I come to You in prayer, and ask that You help me from all that troubles my soul. I know, therefore I have peace; that those who fear You will have all they need, and will lack no good thing. For Your eyes watch over those who do right, and Your ears are open to their cries for help.

Lord, I know that righteous people will face many troubles, but I also know that You always come to rescue them each time. No one who takes refuge in You will be condemned or ashamed!

What will it take for the people of America to return to their Creator and turn their attention to the Holy One?

When His children stand up and trust the Lord fully; that’s when. When they are enlightened by the Word of truth daily; walking in that light; obedient to what they read in God’s Word. When they commit everything they have and do – to Him. When they learn to be still in His presence, and wait patiently for Him to speak and to act. They are not worried about evil people or about their wicked schemes because their confidence and hope is in The Lord and they know that He is aware and in control of all that is going on around them.

Now is time for His children to stand up and to be seen and heard in what The Lord instructs us to say and do. Though we stumble with our imperfections, we will not fall, for He holds His children by His hand. Remember that the Lord loves justice, and He will never abandon us.

Therefore, put your hope in the Lord, and travel steadily along His path for your life, and the power of the Lord will be with you. When people see the evidence of God’s favor and blessing in your life, people around you will turn to the Lord.
