How do you know if someone has integrity? If integrity has to do with being truthful and honest, doing what you say you will do, or not doing what you say you will not do – then who really is the judge of anyone’s integrity but their own?

I am the judge of my own integrity, just me and God who sees what I really am inside. But if I don’t believe that there is a God who can hear what I say, see everything I do, who knows my every thought/secret motive/proposed plan, and who will eventually judge me – then I can be tempted to lie and deceive, and very possibly get away with it with others, but not with God (whether I believe in God or not).

“There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy.” James 4:12

Can people have integrity without being a born-again Christian, or without even believing that God is real?  Why would they fight and work so hard to keep their integrity when they don’t believe they will be judged at the end of their life on earth?

Lying, cheating, double standards, being your own judge so that you figure you are right in how YOU see things (that affect you = bias/partial), this has become common place and acceptable, and sadly, even rewarded in our nation.

“The integrity and moral courage of the upright will guide them, but the faithless crookedness of the treacherous will destroy them.” Proverbs 11:3

How do you know if YOU have integrity?

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him MUST believe that HE EXISTS and that HE REWARDS those who earnestly seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6

“The one whose walk is blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart; whose tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others; who despises a vile person but honors those who fear the LORD; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind (when tempted); who lends money to the poor without interest; who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. WHOEVER DOES THESE THINGS WILL NEVER BE SHAKEN.”  Psalm 15:2-5

“Because of my integrity, You Lord, uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.” Psalm 41:12

I keep thinking about my precious sister (in the Lord), in her new body! She passed last Tuesday, and is now part of that “great cloud of witnesses.” She and I used to talk and joke about our “new” bodies when we leave this earth whether in death (or the rapture).

I think about Jesus in His new body after His death on the Cross – when He came back to His first disciples to show Himself to them, just as He promised to do, and then send them the Holy Spirit to replace Himself with them. (Remember that Jesus in body form could only be in one place at one time, but in Spirit Jesus could be will all His disciples at the same time – all over the world.) “The Spirit is the Lord, and the Lord is the Spirit.” He is the HEAD of His world-wide Spirit-filled Body.

I believe that Jesus returned (in bodily form) to ‘visit’ the 500 disciples who gave witness and written testimony of Him returning to them, to confirm His Word to them about His “resurrection” from death to life (first-fruit of it). He returned in His NEW eternal body, which looked like the body they all knew Him in, the voice as well. “My sheep KNOW my voice, and they follow Me.”

At first some of His disciples didn’t recognize Him, but only because of their simple unbelief, and because of His quiet gentle way of showing up to them, not because of how He looked the same. As He spoke to them, they immediately put 1+1 together. Ha! But in the case, 1+1 = ONE!

Jesus died at the age of 33. Why not 90? Why not 50? Why, as they call it, in the “prime” of life, when we look our best, feel our best, can physically do our best, etc.? Every wondered? If you think that after you die – you’re just like the wind without a body, well I read something very different from the Word of God! If you think that after you die and go to Heaven – there’s nothing important to do in eternal life, or that you are just one of the group that hangs out at the THRONE of GOD singing songs and playing instruments, well that’s not what the prophets talk about in God’s Word (the true prophets that God gave visions to and were told write it down).

As I near the end of my life on earth, I ponder, and I talk to the Lord about going to be with Him, and seeing all the others I knew and loved that are with Him in glory. I love thinking and imaging what He meant when He said, “I have come that you may have life, and have it to the full.” “I go to prepare a place for you.” “In My Father’s House are many mansions.” “No longer will there be any curse; for there will be NO MORE DEATH.” “He will wipe away every tear; for there will be NO MORE crying or mourning or pain – because the OLD ORDER of things has passed away. BEHOLD all things have become NEW!”

“Blessed and holy are those who share in the FIRST resurrection… (By death or rapture: 1 Corinthians 15:51-54, 1 Thessalonians 5:14-18, Isaiah 57:1, Revelation 10:7)… The SECOND death has NO POWER over them,…” (Revelation 20:6)

What say you? Will you be apart of His FIRST resurrection of Spirit-filled disciples of Jesus Christ, those asleep (in the grave) or still living on the earth, very much alive – when the Lord calls us up to be with Him forever?

We can’t even begin to understand what HEAVEN’s GLORY is like. I know that God has allowed a few to have a glimpse, like Apostle Paul who gives his testimony of both his false-belief, his born-again experience, and then later about God taking him up to the “7th heaven” to see what God wanted him to see as God’s witness and writer about it. And, Apostle John, who wrote the book of Revelation, was shown visions about the future that God had him write down while John was imprisoned before he died. Others since have told their testimonies of coming back to life after seeing something of Heaven, and then writing out their testimonies.

I remember my husband about 13 years ago, who was on his way out from dehydration, telling me how he saw and felt the amber brilliance of Heaven’s outer dimension drawing him, but then hearing me (at his side after he collapsed in my arms) crying out the Name JESUS! JESUS HELP! And back he came! I’ll never forget that. Neither will my beloved husband. We have both heard the Lord’s audible voice speak to us. “My sheep know My Voice!” We have each seen a vision or two as well, from the Lord who is faithful to keep us on HIS PATH and PURPOSE.

I’m so thankful to our heavenly Father and to His Beloved Son for all we have to look forward to – eternally with HIM, and with the GREAT ETERNAL FAMILY of ALMIGHTY GOD, our EVERLASTING FATHER.

I am so very thankful for the Word of God, so that we can KNOW the history of mankind from the beginning and even throughout Christ’s second coming to the earth, for His thousand year reign on earth. But from then on (eternity) we can’t fathom. Thus, the Bible ends with telling us: “He who testifies of these things (ALL biblical prophecies) says, ‘YES, I AM COMING SOON.'”

I’m so VERY thankful for the TRUTH that ‘sets us free’ from all the false-beliefs (lies of Satan – the Lord’s #1 adversary); free from all the false-gods (man-made); free from our fears about dying, suffering, and what comes next after death; and free from ‘wasting’ this life – haven been given every opportunity from God’s Word and His Spirit – to know the Truth, the Way and the Life: Jesus Christ, Savior and Lord, KING ETERNAL.

Death is part of life, right now, until God lifts His curse of death on mankind. Imagine what God our Father intended for Adam and Eve before they rebelled in the Garden of Eden against God’s AUDIBLE words to them, so that death then entered the world, where man was to live without any death. Because of the fall of Adam: “ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.”

And yet, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in HIM shall not perish but have eternal life….Whoever believes in HIM is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the Name of God’s one and only Son…. The Father loves the Son and HAS PLACED EVERYTHING IN HIS HANDS. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life with God, for God’s WRATH remains on them.” John 3:16-18, 35-36

Says Jesus of Himself with ALL authority and power: “I AM the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in ME will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in ME will never die. Do you believe this?”

Where is God going with all that He is allowing to happen in America, and to His own people? What does God see of His people? I keep talking to Him about this, personally, and as one living in a nation that God established with MATURE Christians, not perfect, but sacrificially responsible and accountable to God for what HE had in mind for this Land we call America. Holy Spirit, help me PRAY the will of God! Thank You Lord for the souls being saved! Thank You for believers getting right with You and nearer to You!

I am reminded of what the Lord taught me: If WE expect the Lord to ‘walk with us’ on our path, when the Lord has invited us to WALK WITH HIM on HIS path, WE remain infants, crying out for what WE want from Him, instead of growing up in our holy obedient faith in Him and His Word, to do those things that keep God blessing our nation – because of His obedient people doing what He requires.

It’s been hard for me to learn and accept that “my life is not my own any longer” since the day I asked Jesus my Savior to come live in me. Do I take that lightly, that HE LIVES IN ME? I have. But then I’m always reminded by the indwelling Holy Spirit as to what the Lord Jesus did for me/us. He grew up from a baby to holy maturity (as God’s own Son) – to finish what was HIS to do on the earth for His Father, the Father of us all, who loves us like no one else can.

As we begin our ‘new life’ with Jesus our Savior – we DO sense Him by our side as WE keep on OUR path. I did. He WILL walk with us – but only for a while – because we are still legitimate infants in the Lord. What parent would ever expect their newborn to walk and do what their newborn is not capable of? But the day of maturity must come when we realize that it’s HIS plans and purpose, not mine any longer. John the Baptist said it this way: “He must increase; I must decrease.” John 3:30

We have the writer of Hebrews writing for our benefit: “We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. In fact, you need someone to teach you the ‘elementary’ truths of God ALL OVER AGAIN. (Why?) You require milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant (held back – undeveloped), is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. Therefore, let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity….and God permitting, we will do so” (for the infants). But, “It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the Word of God and the powers of the coming age, (expected to mature in Christ) but have fallen away (not being responsible with it all), to be brought back to repentance. To their LOSS they are crucifying the Son of God ALL OVER AGAIN and subjecting Him to PUBLIC disgrace.” (God is mocked when we fall away from walking with the Lord.) Hebrews 6:1-6

“We are convinced of BETTER things for you – the things that have to do with salvation (the good results of His life lived through me/us). God is not unjust….we do not want you to become lazy/complacent/cold-hearted, but to imitate those who through faith’s obedience and godly patience – inherit what has been promised.” Hebrews 6:9-12

And we know, as believers in Jesus Christ, that this world is not our HOME! We are called to do God’s will – that people come to know Jesus Christ as their own Savior and Lord, and to care for the family of God – while we patiently and prayerfully endure all the intensifying evil and judgments – till the Lord takes us HOME!

In my prayer time, praying for our nation, I heard that these failing “policies” of the current party in power (and the new one’s they’re hoping to push through) are “ungodly altars of worship” meant to have us all ‘bow down to.’

These radical policies that clearly go against our Constitution, Bill of Rights and Independence UNDER GOD alone – are wicked and unacceptable to God and to those who fear God and support our ‘biblical’ American Foundation.

Certainly, we have seen over the many decades how our government has been slowly veering off our foundational path/course whenever the ‘ungodly’ get any power and control. The only ‘altar’ we are to worship at is the one in our heart that worships the One True Living God, FIRST and FOREMOST!

“The EARTH is the LORD’s, and EVERYTHING in it, the world, and all who live in it; for HE FOUNDED it on the seas and ESTABLISHED it on the waters.” (Psalm 24:1-2) “In the beginning GOD CREATED the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the SPIRIT OF GOD was hovering over the waters. And GOD SAID, ‘LET THERE BE LIGHT,’ and there was light. God saw that the light was GOOD, and HE separated the light from the darkness….. And God said, ‘Let dry ground appear.’ And it was so. God called the dry ground ‘land,’ and the gathered waters He called ‘seas.’ (Genesis 1: 1,2,3,9) And on it goes with His creation of all we see and don’t see, ending with His creation of man and woman (male and female gender) for pro-creation (the eternal family by His design).

We are watching the ungodly trying to take control over all that God created, to their own self-shame and destruction of good things intended for God-fearing people of all races and nations. How do these proud and ignorant people (completely lost from the truth) think they can get away with their political policy ALTAR building – that WE THE PEOPLE are supposed to bow to and sacrifice to? They will get away with it if “we the people,” who know the truth and fear God, say nothing, do nothing, and just go along with it all.

Ever altar requires sacrifice. What does the altar of “abortion” require? What does the altar of “open borders” require? What does the altar of “critical race theory” require? What does the altar of “homosexuality and homosexual marriage” require? What does the altar of “new green deal” require? What does the altar of “reconstructing the family” require as a sacrifice? What does the altar of “religion” require? What does the altar of “Satanism” require as sacrifices?

How long will THE CREATOR and JUDGE allow the arrogant ungodly to mock Him, rebel against His principles and laws, and persecute those who REFUSE to worship at their ‘unholy altars’ of governmental power? Well, from what I know from reading the Word of God, as long as God is still using the presence of His Holy Spirit, His Word, and His servants on the earth to draw people to Himself through the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So, if you love the LORD, you will need to endure these evils, and prepare for what is coming.

“And this Gospel of His Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to ALL NATIONS, and then the end (of evil and rebellion to God) will come.” Matthew 24:14

“To those who believe in His Name (Jesus Christ SAVIOR of the world), God gives the right to become children of God – children not born of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but BORN OF GOD (by His Spirit/Name/Word).” John 1:12-13

Things are heating up with ALL the nations on the earth in opposition to God. America’s light is going out with the wicked in power who are determined to run our lives, without any challenge. Now is the time of salvation! The window of opportunity is closing. The door to God’s eternal Kingdom – will one day SHUT!

Jesus said, “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door (by faith in JESUS CHRIST only), because many, I tell you, will try to enter (by their own human merit and self-deception) and will not be able to. Once the Owner of the House….closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading to come in. But the Owner will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from Me, all you evildoers!’” Luke 13:24-27

“The LORD foils the plans of the nations; He thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of HIS HEART through all generations. Blessed is the nation whose GOD IS THE LORD!” Psalm 33:10-12

This morning I was praying to my Father God and confessing my lack of patience and understanding. I’m dealing with someone right now that I believe the Lord is using in my life, so I can become more like Jesus. At the same time, I am seeing how this person, who believes she is a Christian, does not spend time in God’s Word. (She gives me excuses.) As a result, she adds on one fear after another, is hopeless and miserable, and spiteful.

Doesn’t the Bible tell us about who God is so we can believe in Him and overcome our fears and hopelessness, our selfishness and hatefulness?  The Word of God teaches us every truth we need – to be free and fulfilled! The Bible teaches us where we come from, about creation and His wisdom behind it, about heaven and hell, about Satan and how the devil tempts us and holds us captive. The Bible teaches us about God’s angels, about God’s Throne in heaven, about His beloved Son, His forgiveness, His indwelling Holy Spirit, His Name that is above all names, His trust, His unconditional love, His supreme power, His plans, His ways, His laws, His commands, His choices, His rejections, His conviction, His condemnation, His supreme justice, His enduring patience, His mercy and grace, His directly calling to people, His voice, His guidance, His faithfulness, His protection, His provision, His understanding, His return to earth, His purpose in all He does, His coming kingdom, His perfection, His good-will towards men, His hatred of evil and rebellion, His judgment, His beloved children, His defense, His deliverance, His rest, His omnipotence, His foreknowledge, His vision, His sight into our hearts, His peace, His joy, His fellowship, His miracles, His riches, His gifts, His blessings, His true family, His eternal life for those in Christ Jesus.

What good is it to have a Bible at home on the shelf and hardly, if ever, sit down to read the only Book that truly matters in life; the only Book that will NEVER go out of circulation until God has completed and fulfilled every word in it?

I’m reminded of the first believers who were WITH Jesus every day, walking and working along with Him in physical form, enjoying the Lord’s favor and presence with them. The Holy Spirit is the Lord, and the Lord is the Spirit. The Holy Spirit living in me, will give me a serious hunger to know God’s Word, and a strong thirst for the Lord’s closeness (fellowship) in my daily life. If I don’t get up every morning thinking about the Lord and wanting to fellowship with Him in His Word and in prayer, but instead I get on with what my day holds, with my job, with Facebook or whatever media, with people/family, with my plans ahead, etc., then what does that reveal to God? How can I expect my day to go, as a follower of Jesus Christ?

Our Father God knows how much we are willing to do for Him, how much we are physically capable of as well. He knows our individual bents with sin, our weaknesses and ignorance. But I do believe that God DOES expect and so desires a whole-heart towards Him, to give ourselves to having a GENUINE relationship with Him day to day, no matter what.

We have a different definition of ‘belief’ than God has. To most people, “belief” is simply head-knowledge. God’s definition of “belief” is about both head (knowing the truth) and heart (a whole-hearted devotion to the Lord).

Many think that ‘going’ to church on Sundays to hear praise songs about the Lord, and to hear a biblical message from the pastor and to visit with friends – is “fellowship with Jesus Christ.”  It’s not. Now don’t get me wrong. Going to church has a place in our lives, as long as the church is commendable by the Lord (Revelation 2 and 3), but Jesus NEVER meant for church-going to take HIS PLACE in our hearts and lives. In fact, Jesus said that we ARE the church, His Body, and He is the HEAD. And to be a part of His Body doesn’t mean to be a part of a religion. Jesus came to give us a RELATIONSHIP with Him.

We can read man’s devotionals about what THEY HAVE personally experienced of the Word of God, but someone’s devotional book can NEVER take the place of God’s own living Word (the Holy Bible) between me and Him each day. And yes, it takes discipline to be faithful; faithful with a morning quiet time, faithful at what the Lord asks of us, faithful to the end of our lives on earth. With just as much desire God has – to save us from hell, He desires all the more – to reward our faithfulness! Jesus taught about the Sower and the Seed whereas, only one of four actually went on to be faithful, producing for the Kingdom of God.

“Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him MUST believe that HE EXISTS and the HE REWARDS those EARNESTLY SEEK HIM.” Hebrews 11:6

Interesting how we can be ‘disciplined’ in our job that produces an income (necessary for sure) or disciplined for the things of our own personal interests, desires, and pleasures. But when it comes to doing what the Lord has asked of us, well that is a different matter for sure, at least for most of us.

I’m writing out the biography of my brother-in-law Frank Dietz, who passed recently. Here is a man who (from the day he committed himself to the Lord) worked to truthfully know God from in God’s Word each morning, in continual repentance and prayer throughout his day, at ‘dying to himself,’ learning to be disciplined about the things of God first and foremost. We aren’t rewarded for perfection, just for our faithfulness. Jesus is the PERFECT ONE!  What a godly man and good example of true Christianity Frank was.  Frank, was a disciplined disciple of Jesus Christ, meeting with the Lord each morning to, as Frank would say, “get my marching (work) orders for the day.” Now Frank is with his Lord, rewarded for his faithfulness “to the end.”

I see how the words ‘disciple’ and ‘discipline’ are connected. Our ‘active’ desire for a true relationship with Jesus Christ is what gives us our undeniable priorities, virtues, and purpose in life – as one of His children. Is it any wonder that Satan works day and night to keep us from TRUE fellowship with Jesus Christ?

The “law of Christ” is for us to help carry the burdens of those God puts in our lives – that HE want to reach and help along. This is what the people of God have been given to do in HIS NAME, and for HIS KINGDOM.

This has become a weakness of the ‘American’ church (the body of Christ), and we know it has because of how the government has been allowed, over time, more and more, to do; that which the Lord requires of His own faithful body, His own people IN AMERICA.

Jesus was our PERFECT example, and oh how difficult it is at times to serve the Lord (personally speaking) when dealing with a miserable resentful ungrateful and controlling person. AND, with the daily battle of the devil’s attempts to keep the Lords’ people from serving the good will of God, in the way God would have it.

It’s easier to serve someone when the person is thankful and humble and pleasant to be around. Right? So, I always have to keep before me how my Savior carried the heavy load of all my life’s wickedness to the Cross – and took my place of guilty shame and God’s condemnation of wickedness and rebellion.

I can’t begin to imagine how that felt for the only PERFECT SINLESS BLAMELESS man (the Son of God) to take on ALL the sin of the WORLD (past present future), so that ANYONE could come to Him – the FAITHFUL ONE who stands at the right hand of GOD to defend those who have asked Him to forgive them and to live in them as they finish what is theirs to do for the glory of God.

As I read over and over, the 4 Gospels about the life of Christ on the earth (those 33 years from birth to death) and all that He did for people so that they could live fulfilled (physically and spiritually) I feel ashamed of how self-centered I am when I get angry and resentful with someone I’m supposed to help (in serving the Lord), just because they are so hard to love and serve. I have also learned that not all who want help from me, are those God expects me to help. There is a time for everything: a time to help and a time to pass it by. When I’m walking with Jesus, as I’m supposed to do, then when I “pass it by” I have peace and joy, no guilt in doing so. This was hard to learn, but I did. (My book “Just Walk With Me” talks all about how I learned, still learning, to just walk with Jesus.)

We show how self-centered and unfaithful we are (personally speaking) when we expect others (the government too) to do what God has required from each of us. Lord forgive ME! Forgive Your Church! Do what it takes to purify us so we will finish the race marked out for each of us.

No wonder the government has morphed like it has, from what it is SUPPOSE to do – to what it has NO right to do, according to God.

I believe God is giving His people in America great opportunities of ‘many kinds’ in our time of disorder, threat, disasters, chaos and loss.

I just want to be faithful and let Jesus (the Holy Spirit in me) live out His wonderful purpose through me. And, because it’s hard, (when I’m in the way) I continue to meet with my Father God in the morning before my day starts, just like Jesus did, to acknowledge my Father God for WHO HE IS, praise Him for what He’s done for me through His Son, recall His words of life and promise – that I read in the Holy Bible, and desperately ask Him for strength/patience/wisdom and OPEN DOORS of OPPORTUNITIES so that I can take part in furthering His Kingdom.

When I come to the end of my life – that will be all that matters: What I did WITH JESUS; what I allowed HIM to do through me, even as I grew old. I only care what my Father God says of me: “Well done Carol, my good and faithful servant. Come and share the KINGDOM with ME!” And this I pray for my children and grandchildren, my friends, and those God puts in my life to reach for HIM.

I am finding that even with an old failing body (almost 70 years old now) when it comes time to doing what the Lord requires of me – I have all the strength I need to do it, all the resources, all the JOY too – as long as I keep the Lord’s purpose in mind in doing His will.

I love the way my Lord doesn’t expect too much from me, and what I mean by that is: “He remembers US in our times of weakness/humiliation/lowliness/troubles/afflictions; for HIS loving kindness/mercy/loyalty/faithfulness – is eternal, enduring forever.” Psalm 136:23

God ALWAYS existed, never had a beginning or birth. God will never die or disappear. God simply IS. The Bible says so, therefore I believe it! I believe in the Word of the Living God.

We can understand that God “never” will die or end, but not that God “always” existed without a birth or beginning in some way. Why? Why can’t we understand? Well, I believe that it’s blocked from our understanding for a good purpose.

What would God be protecting us from since it’s for our very good? So, I began to meditate on who God is:

God is love, and we are His favored workmanship, made in His image. God is family, creating male and female for re-creation, as well as for relational enjoyment. God enjoys fellowship with us. God is orderly and active. God is beautiful. God is giving. God is welcoming. God is forgiving and merciful. God is understanding and gracious. God enjoys conversation, thought, ideas, imagination, expressions of desires, pursuits, etc.; putting to good use all that He gave us. God is gentle and compassionate. God designed growth and fullness of life. God protects what He loves and favors. God is perfection. God is Holy/Righteous/Just. God is all-powerful. God is all-knowing. God controls the outcome and future of all He created. God is destructive for a good outcome.

Just as God has put in each of us a mustard-seed of faith to believe in Him, God has put a fear in us that is a legitimate fear.

We fear only because we don’t know our Father God as we could so easily know; for He has shown His existence in so many physical ways. We lack things that we need or want because we don’t go to Him by whom all things exist and are sustained by. We must go to Him with earnest faith – believing that He rewards faith that seeks Him whole-heartedly.

Even the angels were created for our good; for getting things done for God that affect us. “Angels are ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation.”  The Word says that we’ve been created a little lower than the angels. What does that mean? We physically die and are raised to life. The angels are not; they are eternal beings. God created them for His good purposes.

Some angels are doomed to God’s eternal lake of fire for having rebelled against God, and the other angels that did not rebel – will continue to do the will of God for the glory of God – which is their desire by choice. Even the angels have free-will; for if they didn’t, then Satan would not have chosen to rebel against his great purpose from God; rather, Lucifer sought the place of God’s Son instead. One-third of the angels even CHOSE to follow Lucifer out of Heaven.

Angels don’t have physical bodies like we have yet they can appear to us in the form we have, whether the angel is holy or evil. Many people have been deceived in thinking they have been visited by their loved ones which was simply an evil angel trying to deceive them and keep them from the truth of what God says about those who have died.

Angels do not inherit from God like we do. They are our helpers, doing what God tells them to do. Angels can not mate and have children. There is no marriage in Heaven with angels because angels are neither male nor female.

We are forgiven for what we say or do that is against God’s laws. Angels either obey God, or they are condemned forever, as was Lucifer and his cohorts of angels. Jesus did not die for Satan and his fallen angels’ rebellion against their Creator. Jesus died and was raised to life for human beings, so we could live forever with God (by faith in Jesus), so we would not end up in the place that God prepared for the devil and his demonic angels.

We have been made aware of life after death, and of God’s Kingdom that Jesus will be bring to the earth, just as it is in Heaven. We can understand what Hell is, that is total separation from God and all His goodness. BUT, we can not wrap our minds around is how God existed without a beginning (as we’ve had).

Neither can we fathom how GREAT the love of God is, except by what Jesus did on the cross for us BECAUSE OF THE LOVE OF GOD. We can NOT imagine what God has planned for eternal life – for those who love Him. The Bible is incomplete in that it ends by telling us how Jesus will complete His full purpose on earth, with His second coming, with God’s judgment, with God’s rewarding of His servants, and with God’s restoration of all things HE ONCE CALLED “GOOD.” (Genesis 1) But, we have not been given further information on what ETERNITY will be about. Some like to imagine things that come out of their own limited understanding, or from having been taught things by the demons, or from mocking God’s good nature. WE WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT TO EXPERIENCE ETERNAL LIFE WITH GOD!

The understanding that we CAN have is only found “in a relationship with Jesus Christ,” by excepting His love and sacrifice for us on the cross when we acknowledge our sinful nature and ask to be forgiven of all the sins we committed and commit against each other, and to be forgiven of our ‘temporal’ rebellion against God.  Jesus said that if we forgive each other (by the power of His forgiveness for us) then the Father will also forgive us of anything.

Maybe we will never be able to understand how God ALWAYS existed, but that is what makes Him the Creator and we the objects of His great and awesome love everlasting! To fully understand God’s existence would therefore make us equal to God, and that will never happen! GLORY TO GOD!

We have in this current governing administration those who think themselves to be ‘gods’ of whom “we the people” are to honor and obey, swallow what they feed us, and not question them at all – but rather accept their godlessness and be content with what they allow us to have and do. Well, you “gods,” hear what YOUR HOLY CREATOR GOD says:

“The LORD is the only true God. He is the living God and the everlasting King! The whole earth trembles at His anger. The nations cannot stand up to His wrath. Say this to those who worship other gods: ‘Your so-called gods, who did not make the heavens and earth, will vanish from the earth and from under the heavens.’

“The LORD made the earth by His own power, and He preserves it by His own wisdom. With His own understanding He stretched out the heavens. When He speaks in the thunder, the heavens roar with rain. He causes the clouds to rise over the earth. He sends the lightning with the rain and releases the wind from his storehouses.’ (HOW’S THAT FOR CLIMATE CHANGE!)

“The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge! The craftsmen (godless politicians and all alike) are disgraced by the idols they make (that which they want us to bow to, trust and depend on), for their carefully (cleverly) shaped works (policies) are a FRAUD!….

“The siege is about to begin. Suddenly, I will fling you out. You have not seen trouble like what I will pour upon you, and then at last you will feel MY anger for what you have done in the land, you who do not seek wisdom from ME. Therefore, you will fail completely….

“I will pour out My wrath on the nations that refuse to acknowledge Me, on the peoples that do not call upon My Name, the Name that is above all names. For they devour My people who worship Me, and consume what they have, therefore making the land a desolate wilderness.” (God blesses the land because of those who worship Him. Our American cities are under siege and destruction because of their leaders.)

These self-deceived people with their “Climate Change” ideology and policies in the works – as if they have any control over what God created for HIS PURPOSES; their “Green New Deal” ideology and all they plan to do with that at our expense; their “Cancel Culture” schemes to remake America into something that makes God completely sick of America’s existence; their “Critical Race Theory” to take our children down with them, turning them against the truth and their parents when their parents oppose the evil; their RE-defining of all God’s created things to RE-purpose what God created for the good of mankind….IS NOT SITTING WELL WITH OUR GOD! In fact, He’s pretty angry, especially over what the law-makers are doing to babies in the womb – at our expense and ignorance and cowardice.

God says, “Their tongues are deadly arrows; speaking DECEITFULLY. With their mouths they all speak cordially to their neighbors, but in their hearts they are setting traps. SHOULD I NOT PUNISH THEM FOR THIS?! Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this, one that has betrayed Me after I have blessed them like no other nation since Solomon, David’s son?”

“How can they say, ‘We are wise, listen to us, for we have the truth from God,’ when ACTUALLY the lying pens of policy-makers have handled MY POLICIES FALSELY?! These so-called wise leaders – will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped, since THEY HAVE REJECTED MY WORD (true wisdom). What kind of wisdom do they really think they have! They make ready their tongues like a bow, to shoot lies; it is not by truth that they triumph in the land! They go from one sin to another. From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; all practice deceit – who refuse to acknowledge ME! They address the problems as though NOT SERIOUS; as though THEY have the power to do anything right or promising! ‘Peace and security,’ they proclaim, WHEN THERE IS NONE, because they refuse to obey ME. Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? NO, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush over their increasing depravities, calling good evil and evil good. This is a nation who once obeyed Me, and used to respond to My correction, but now, do more evil than their ancestors! Truth has vanished from their lips. So they will fall; they will be brought down,” says the LORD.

Those words of warnings from God’s Word, about people and nations who forget Him, or simply reject Him, are not what people want to hear. But just the same – the truth that needs to be spoken to warn them! The truth they each must surrender to, and get right with the LORD by, or reap the consequence! They can not save themselves from God’s coming wrath.

Let us not forget that America STILL belongs to the LORD GOD and that HE IS STILL over our nation, at least as long as He still has a people in the land who faithfully walk with Him in Spirit and in Truth, and will obey what HE tells them to do, or not do, and who will remain in position (in His Word and alert to what is really happening) as wise prayer warriors – at their morning and evening posts.

America’s future? “This is what the LORD GOD says, ‘Let not the wise boast of their own wisdom (which is really wickedness to God), or the strong boast of their strength (the government’s power over the people), or the rich (elites) boast of their riches (as they trust in it to save them from what is coming), BUT LET THE ONE WHO BOASTS – BOAST ABOUT THIS: THAT THEY HAVE THE UNDERSTANDING TO KNOW ME THEIR ONLY TRUE GOD, THAT I AM THE LORD WHO EXERCISES KINDNESS, JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS ON EARTH, FOR IN THESE I DELIGHT!…REFORM YOUR WAYS AND YOUR ACTIONS, AND I WILL LET YOU LIVE!”

And to the LORD’s church: 1 Corinthians 1:10-30 in parts: “I appeal to you, brethren, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree together, so that there may be no divisions among you (each following a different person, politician, teacher or ideology) and that you may be united in Christ’s mind and conviction from His Spirit. For the message of our LORD’s Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the POWER of God. For it is written: ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate. Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe ? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its own wisdom – does not know Him, yet God was pleased through what seemed as foolishness by the world, pleased of what is still being preached by God’s servants of His Word and Name, to save those who believe in Him…. CHRIST JESUS, the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength….It is because of God that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us God’s pure wisdom: our true righteousness, holiness, and coming redemption. Therefore, as it is written: ‘Let him who boasts – boast in the LORD Jesus Christ.'”

Praying without ceasing – for America! Praying for our leaders (church/government/fathers, heads of their own families) ! Praying for the Lord’s united Body! This day calls for the wisdom from God!
