The elect

Matthew Chap 24 vs 24....24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.

1 Timothy chap 4 vs1-5
1The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

Most of us know that our days numbered on this earth, either by getting to old, or other means. Being old and admitting that I know very little, and finding that as I get older the more I find that I do not know. We have to constantly be a mode of trying to learn or we will be left behind. 

Most people that actually open the bible and read the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation, will see obviously that death and destruction awaits the inhabitants of the  planet earth, most of it earned by the way. 

Governments all over the planet are in  deep debt, our own governments debt is over 20 trillion,I write trillion because I cannot write that many zeros for fear of getting writers cramp. In-fact our government has not paid the debt from ww1. The last time the debt was actually manageable was in 1833 when Andrew Jackson was President and he like President Trump was an outsider, both parties hated him. The debt then was 33 thousand, and he had shrunk  it from the year before. Most governments today are drowning in debt. Most of the money is owed to the Rothschild and others. So let me put this out and you do with  it what you want, I mean God does give us freedom of choice. Not saying I am right, because in the end there is death and destruction and the Lord Jesus has to intervene before we destroy ourselves.

According to report that was put out today by Q anon, { the links will be below} There is  deal called the NESARA, apparently this is set up as a fund that made up of real gold and silver that will cover all the nations debts and allow them to start from scratch.This so called Utopian  group is going to pay all the debts off. So what if this does happen?

Well part of the deal is that the US government as it sits right now will be totally and completely reorganized, removing all persons serving in the congressional branch and the executive branch and a new president will be appointed. Then after that elections held and new people who are supposedly true patriots will be run for office. Hence we are back to our constitutional  republic once more. Do not want to leave out the part where Trump stays in office as a figure head and finishes exposing the 'Bushes and the Clinton cartels. You get my point here. Then after he will no longer hold office and a new President is appointed as a result of the NESARA  actions. 

This is totally opposite of what people expect, they expect violence and sudden natural disasters. The reason it could happen like this is to lull the church into a false sense of security, thinking every thing is alright , when in truth, satan is doing this to draw the church in and fool them. How will this happen, well I have an opinion right or wrong here it is.

If all this occurs, you have to remember what ever you have in the bank will quite possibly be gone, The government will seize it and use it for their own goals however nefarious the goals are. They might even try to seize your property by hook or crook or force and leave you with what you started out with when you born.  Next will be when the government forces every one to be take a chip embedded in their body and this chip will act like a credit card that no one can duplicate or steal your money. Hence the mark of the beast. Remember that the idea is to fool the elect, some not all will be fooled and go along because the chip offers economic prosperity, food, place to live, car to drive , your smart phone etc.Those that understand this will not take the chip and will be in hiding, then you will have two societies and those that took the mark and the true Christian who refuses and is in hiding from the government, fighting to survive. Then after this occurs , there will natural disasters and wars and death and destruction to man kind. However it goes, Jesus will return and will reign and subdue these out of control power hungry people. Am I right, or wrong? What if I am right and you allow yourself to be sucked in. The two links below are an awful lot to digest and would suggest you pray and allow the Lord to reveal  the truth to you. Jesus Christ is Lord of all and in the end every knee shall bow and tongue will confess that He is Lord. Notice it will not be a choice.

Stand  up for Jesus. Ephesian chap 6 vs 10-20

The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

I had a vivid dream the other night, I was in a place that was near the earth, it was a different dimension, the "Laws of Physics" did not apply here. I was standing there with  3 angels and we could see in  the distance a  horde of cast out angels were  approaching at a rapid pace. The cast out angels are  what some folks call demons. It was strange, most things like that would scare people. I asked the angel what do you want me to do, I want to help fight. 

He looked at me and some how I knew to reach out with my right hand and he then took off my little finger. There was not any pain, he gave me this huge letter A, and all of a sudden  I had the power of angels.The dream itself was awesome, we stood and I waved my right hand and what looked like UFO 's came out of nowhere and rained fire and destruction on the  enemy.and drove them back, we kept fighting. Then I woke from the dream and went back to sleep, found myself in the same place standing there with the angels watching the demon horde approach. I asked the angel what do you want me to do, he took my right hand took two more fingers. We stood there and brought  more fire down on the horde, they scattered and ran but some  managed to get through. I remember one of the angels was buried in a bunch of debris, I  searched for him and found him and pulled him out. We turned toward the regrouping enemy and  then I woke.

I have sorted this dream out in my head and pondered what it means, talked with my wife at great lengths about it. Lord knows I wanted to make sure I was right in my thinking. I do not take lightly when the Lord calls me to do something. I can tell you this, in that dream I was never afraid, never had a fear of losing or being brought down by the enemy.  I had all the confidence that we would win and the battle, it  was won because it belongs to the Lord.

When the Lord rescued me from myself and my sin in 1983, I  would read my bible and every book that would help me with my walk. I remember reading about these conspiracies and  how the group of rich men, who called themselves the Illuminati and how they were seeking to control the world, through the use of secret societies and groups like the council on foreign relations and the UN. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever believe they had infiltrated the US government, but they did. In all of these books the constant theme was they were being told what to do by  satan and they were following willingly. These men  controlled most of the money on the earth and wanted to completely dominate the earth and make slaves out of the rest of us. I was so eager for the return of Jesus,  all kinds  of books by about  8 different authors, each them with different view point on the attempt of the devil to control the world and bring about the mark of the beast. But  I kept missing or at least not applying the hidden lesson in these books and the obvious lesson in the bible. 

We all dealt with the frustration of the Fed government walking rough shod over our rights and  the blatant sin that gave and have given approval to. So like many others I figured out that in order to change things , one must pray. I learned how to pray, fasted once. not very good at  that  as most are not . A good brother in the Lord,  my friend David, fasted so much we thought he was going to dry up and  blow away.  I would get after him about it, yet he persevered, guess I was not as strong as David, we are still friends to this day. So those us that finally understood we need to pray and that God would change things and situations. 

Things did change things  and they are changing rapidly, each day something new comes out of no where. God found his David and put him  in the white house, we rejoiced at the site of the networks having to say Donald Trump is the newly elected  President of the USA. 

Problem is the battle, the war the we are in is not over, it has only begun. The illuminati  or the deep state, will not go peacefully They are so entrenched and finding out who they are has been difficult, until they show themselves, they cannot be rooted out. We the bible believing Christian must pray, and pray without ceasing. We must follow through every day with prayer and lift up President Trump to the Lord. We must encourage President Trump and ask the Lord to give him the strength to continue on with the fight against this evil. 

This evil is real just as real as you breathing, you do not see it but yet it is there. They seek for us be discouraged and get frustrated and stop praying. We must never surrender, prayer is our battle ground and we win there. 

I know I need to answer the part about getting my fingers cut off. I felt no pain and was willing for it to be done. I think each one represents obedience and the willingness to sacrifice all to the cause of  Jesus. You must understand , Jesus is Lord  He was human and went willingly to the cross so We could have eternal life. He paid a price we owed and  we did have to pay Jesus paid the debt we owed.  He went willing he took our sin upon him so we could have eternal life. How far away is eternal life, its is a prayer away. Enjoy the video it is good , hopefully it encourages you......

Even so Lord Jesus come quickly

Again I have been impressed by the Lord with this prophecy from Isaiah Chap 6. This was written concerning Israel, but it now concerns the USA, we are the new Israel..... Am I right? Time will tell, but if  you look at the evidence around us., I am convinced I am not wrong. I will stand on my faith in Christ Jesus, after all He is the maker of all things........

1In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” 4At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. 5“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.” 6Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.7With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.” 8Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” 9He said, “Go and tell this people: “ ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’ 10Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes.a Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.” 11Then I said, “For how long, Lord?” And he answered: “Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left deserted and the fields ruined and ravaged, 12until the Lord has sent everyone far away and the land is utterly forsaken. 13And though a tenth remains in the land, it will again be laid waste. But as the terebinth and oak leave stumps when they are cut down, so the holy seed will be the stump in the land.” Footnotes: a 10 Hebrew; Septuagint ‘You will be ever hearing, but never understanding;      you will be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’      10This people’s heart has become calloused;      they hardly hear with their ears,      and they have closed their eyes New International Version (NIV) Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® Used by permission.

Prepared

My wife in all of her  wisdom has given me a back pack with survival supplies. It has food and duct tape and  a blanket and a knife and even water proof matches. That is just a few of the items in the back pack. She does not want me to be left stranded out here working with no resources..Its funny how wives fuss and over little things, but most of  us know that it is the little things that make a difference in our lives. If I get stranded out here and have to make my way home on foot, I will need that back pack with supplies to get home. Then that little thing becomes a big thing.

John chap 21 vs 15-23:

Jesus Reinstates Peter 15When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” 16Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” 17The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” 20Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”) 21When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” 22Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” 23Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?” A few days ago, I was awakened, when this occurs I pray. The truck was parked for  a change and what should have been a good nights sleep turned into a time of struggle and prayer. My mind was clouded with my own thoughts and prayers. It was a fight to put my own thoughts down and pray and listen to the voice of God. At times it sounds like my own voice. I needed to be sure and put aside my own feelings and desires and do my best to listen what the Spirit of the Lord wanted me to hear.  Several things have happened since then to re-enforce what the Lord wanted me to understand and know I watched  a video about the writing of the national anthem. It was eye opening and heart breaking. Many brave American men died that night to make sure the flag stood. At the end of the night, the flag was leaning but still standing, it was being held up by the bodies of the men who died holding the flag up. These men were Americans and Christians and they died standing for their beliefs against a tyrant, who simply wanted to control us and tell us what we could or could not do.  Out of this battle and others came a great country and this country was blessed by the Lord, His great hand of protection has kept us safe from enemies from the outside and from the inside. Some of us grew up in the 60s and it was then we saw the changes starting to take root in our society. These forces of evil has taken great care and thought about how to remove the Christian Faith from society, The courts have slowly removed any act of Christianity from most aspects of society, What we use to call  Christmas vacation is now called winter break and what we use to call Easter vacation is now called spring  break, Malls now say happy holidays instead of Merry Christmas. Public prayer is not allowed in public schools. The homosexuals now have legalized marriage and are corrupting churches with their evil agenda. If you have enough courage to attend or view a video of a " gay pride" parade, You will observe not only homosexual activities and other unnatural sex acts. Colleges at one time were meant to be institution for learning and the promoting of truth, have turned their backs on truth and settle for political correctness. So now they would rather believe the lie then the truth. Lord help you if you are a Christian who stands up against homosexuality in these places. You are called a bigot and if it were the 3rd century they would stone you to death. For over 50  years the attack on Christianity and the churches has gone on without ceasing, its now at the point that we either accept sin or find  your local church doors closed. In Canada if you speak out against homosexuality you face jail and fines. This is on the verge of happening here, The President of the United States is a muslim and has allowed the muslims to flood into this country by the thousands. In Paris France there are muslims gangs terrorizing the population, Hollywood actors want to remove guns from our homes leaving us no protection.  Many of us have said openly that these muslims are here  as the Presidents invading army to kill as many Americans as they can. In all of this and more the Lord has kept his hand upon our once great country. Today Hillary Clinton was told she would not be indicted for breaking the law. Most of us would have been arrested and put in jail. The men and women who represent us have done nothing and will continue to do nothing. The evil that has invaded our country has just about taken over. The evil is the fabric of our society to the people who are making , and enforcing the laws. Common sense has gone out the window. This why the Lord destroyed the earth and had Noah built an ark, and this is why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah If God could have found  ten righteous men in the city., the city would have been spared.  So ask yourself how much longer are we going to be spared? The answer is  not much longer. A time of great persecution is coming upon the real Christians and real Christian churches. Those fake churches who have chosen to embrace sin and welcome it in the doors do not have worry The government will leave you alone, but however there will be blood in the streets all over this once great land and if you have a gun they will come to take it and if you are a bible believing Christian they will put you in prison without a trial. If you resist they will simply shoot you, and if you are taken alive you will taken to a camp near where you live and you will never leave.  This alone will cause civil strife and those of us who believe strongly in the US constitution will resist with all we have. To quote George Washington;  "The thing that sets the American Christian apart from all other people in the world is that he will die on his feet rather before he will live on his knees."   That is nothing but truth, personally I have lived to long to be pushed around by a government that hates its own people Peter was told how he would die and he did not like the idea of dying, most of us hold onto the idea of living. Time is running out. The biggest reminder here is that when we do die, we need to have the Lord Jesus in our heart and if you do not then its to late.  Our hope and life is in Jesus, without Him there is no life worth living. When I go home I will see my loved ones who willing accepted Jesus. There is no other way into heaven unless once accepts Jesus into their heart. All other ways are hell bound. I cannot say it enough time is short, Personally I will be surprised if there is an election come November. Hang on folks it is gong to be rough ride.Whatever happens you have to prepare and be ready, So keep your back pack handy

A walk

John chap 15 vs 17.....15When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

16Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”

17The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?”He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”

Most of us are familiar with the crucifixion and death and resurrection of Jesus. If you are not familiar with the events in 33 AD , you can read what transpired in any of the gospels. 

This particular event happened after Jesus resurrection, Peter  had denied Jesus the night He stood trail, In fact he denied the Lord 3 times. Peter had been told previously that he would deny the Lord 3 times and Peter being human said he would not do that. Peter was full of guilt and remorse especially after the Lords death on the cross. The disciples {all of them} did not believe that Jesus would rise from the dead, as he had told them he would. So they all found a hiding place and kept a low profile. The only people who were there when they crucified the Lord , was Mary and his Mother Mary and John. The rest scurried like cockroaches when the lights are turned on. 

The Lord, as foretold in Biblical prophecy, rose from the dead, and the authorities tried to cover it up and say His disciples stole his body. 'Funny how politicians lie to cover their own sins. Jesus appeared to the disciples after his death several times. His disciples including Peter celebrated and were anxious to be with Him.  I can only imagine how they felt when they saw Him alive, all of them were sorry for what they had done, and the Lord being who He is was merciful and forgave them and restored them.

On this particular occasion the Lord took Peter aside and asked him these things. Peter was forced to search his soul and heart to give truthful answers, answers that had repercussion's through out the history of the world. Peter was told that he would die a martyrs death. If any one believes that Peter found these truths comforting then you have not lived. 

According to Foxes book of Martyrs, Peter was in Rome preaching to the Church in Rome. The Christians were being forced into slavery and taken to the Roman Coliseum and being fed to the Lions. The church was hiding in the Catacombs of Rome, most of us would call it a sewer. Peter was  preaching and someone came to him and said the Romans are on their way and they are going to arrest you. So Peter left and was fleeing for his life. When out side of Rome, The Lord appeared to Peter and asked him where he was going. Peter response was , they are going to kill me I have to run for my life. Jesus turned and started walking towards Rome and Peter asked him where he was going, Jesus said I have to go to Rome to give my life because you will not. Peter then understood and said, Lord I will go. Peter was put in trial and sentenced to die on a cross just like Jesus did. Peter told them do not hang me right side up, hang me up side down for I am not worthy of dying like my Lord. The life of a disciple is not the best life but its a life worth living.

The older I get there are occasions that cause me to question what I am doing in my Christian walk. Is it a strong walk or is a walk that lets the wind push me. Up until 7 years ago I would have to admit that my walk was windblown and constantly in a mode of survival. Some say age brings wisdom and maturity, do not know about that, only know that working alone in a truck driving all over the country gave me a perspective on life that very few can have. I was blessed in that the journey was life changing. I was forced to repent and reconcile my life to the will of the Lord. Some will say well you really were not saved then but now you are.I was saved then and I am saved now, that never changed. What changed was my will it became the Lords will. I finally understand that I cannot change what happened yesterday or what happened 40 years ago. I have today and today is a gift from the Lord and I am grateful that I have the gift.

One of the prayers I prayed was for the Lord to restore me and give me the desire of my heart. He did all of that and more, He gave me a good wife and friend. Who has stood beside me in tough times and it has been tough, both money wise and emotionally. We have with stood storms that would destroy most couple. Yes the storms still come, in the midst of the storm I hear the Lords voice and He calms the waters. 

In all of this the world around us has deteriorated, the world marches onto to a one world government led by the President of the United States. People have turned a blind eye to what is  really going on and unfortunately we are now officially in the day when good is called evil and evil is called good. All of this as foretold in the Bible. Perhaps each of us has to come to a cross roads like Peter did and really decide if we are going live for Christ and then do it. You see someone standing up in Church and professing their faith in Christ is one thing, most folks can do that. But can you stand up in front of a hostile crowd or group of people that want you to just go away, because they do not have any interest in the truth. The Christians in the middle east have been beheaded and they are wondering when is the Lord going to come and stop this. I sit and watch and listen and ask myself when is this infernal insanity going to stop. When will our rights and our once great country be restored? I pray and ask the Lord to give me peace and manage with what he has given me. I am grateful for the life I have and if the Lord requires something more I am willing to do it, I would like the think I would do it without hesitation, but in the end the Lords will , will be done in my life.

What about your life, where are you this resurrection day, this most Holy day of the year. This is a good day to ponder and pray and ask the Lord to restore or strengthen you, or even save you from your own sins. Then go on and live a life worthy of Jesus. 

Is it too late? Is there hope?

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another- and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgement and of  raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think a man who deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay, and again , "The Lord will judge his own people." It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times stood  side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves  had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence, it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a little while,  "He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back I will not be pleased  with him." 

But we are not  of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of  those who believe and are saved.

Hebrews chap 10 vs 19 - 39

+++++++

I will do my best to explain and give you what the Lord has shown me in the last 3 months. Much of what I understand and see is also shown to others. Most of us know that the days of the United States of America are numbered. If it is six months or 60 years, our time as a great empire is coming to an end. In the latter days of the Roman empire, the Roman government had run the debt of the empire up so much, that the Roman senate would not tell the general public what they had done. The people of Rome just wanted to go to the Coliseum and watch the Gladiators kill each other and watch as Christians were being fed to lions. That is an over simplification of history, but none the less is true, your average Roman citizen could have cared less about the debt created by the government, they just wanted to go to the coliseum and be left alone. They kept their heads stuck in the sand and refused to see the truth. The parallels of the Roman citizen and to a degree a majority of our population and the most of the so called main stream media is shocking. Many citizens of the United States of America have stuck their heads in the sand and when confronted with the facts they refuse to believe any of it. They choose the lie instead of the truth.

The man they choose as their leader is a reflection of them, he has printed worthless dollars to  pay for his out of control budgets that we as a country cannot afford. To make matters worse  the US Senate has gone right along with him, The democrats and republicans have sold the United States of America out to the lowest bidder. This once great place called the land of opportunity is on the verge of becoming the land of despair and starvation. You might ask was this done on purpose, the answer is yes, it has been done with complete disregard of our constitution and of the men and women who fought for this country,  We have a society that is run by fools who seek the change the church and Christians into a bunch of compromising fools. Churches who actually preach the truth of the Gospel and are not ashamed are told you must change, this is not allowed anymore. When the Roman empire was in power they would take the bishop of the local church and burn him at the stake because he preached that we bow to Jesus and he is  King. The Romans called this treason, would burn him at the stake. 

Understand I could write hundreds of pages of what our government and Obama has done to bring our nation to its knees and on the verge of ruin. Even the man who has his head in the sand and refuses to see the truth has to admit that our once great nation that was a shining light of liberty to the world now is starting to become like Nazi Germany. Freedoms that people enjoy are being taking away by government bureaucrats who have no right to do so. They only stop when taken to court and a judge tells them that they cannot do this. Our freedoms guaranteed by the constitution are slowly disappearing. The main steam media, with the exception of a couple are nothing but a shill for Obama's agenda, The main steam media who were supposed to inform the American people of the truth instead fill them with lies and news of the latest in Hollywood, people are more interested  in Bruce Jenner's sex change operation then the budget in Washington DC.  Sex perversion and filth fill the airwaves and people just stay on the same course never changing, refusing to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit imploring them to come away from their sin and come back to the God who loved you  so much that he put His only Son upon a cross and sacrificed him for our sin. For it was our sin who put him on that cross, he took that punishment and death for us and the very least we can do is beg for forgiveness and turn back to him that truly loves us.

Those of us who are believers understand what the Lord requires of us, no compromise, no turning back, only looking forward to when we go home to be with him. For our reward is not in this life but in a place the Lord has prepared for us. Each of us will have our own place that we do not have to pay
taxes on and if we want to add to it we can and do not have pay the local government a fee. Each of us will have all of our questions answered in an instant. Most of all we shall see Jesus and then we will understand how much he really loves us. You see his love is as real as the chair you are sitting on and as real as your child you hold. 

If you read the whole of the scripture that I put at the first part of this, You will see, compromise is not of God. If man can gain the world and lose his soul, and end up in hell fire, he has gained nothing but death. Christ promises us life and life eternal in heaven. 

Goodbye

Isiah 46 vs 4. I will be your God throughout your lifetime--until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.

NIV Isiah 46 vs 4:Even to your old age and gray hairs. I  am  he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you: I will sustain you and rescue you.

It was 14 years ago in November, my mom was on her death bed. I went to the hospital and made phone calls to the family, asking them to come and say "goodbye" ,my nephews made it, and my sister and my brother and his wife. It was quite a process, fighting back tears and trying to act normal. The last thing I said to my mom was, " I love you mom", her answer was I love you too, That answer  was what I needed all my life and at that very moment.  My mom on her best days was aloof and impersonal to me. She had finally let her guard down, and showed some honest emotion. She was my mom and I loved her, it is  as simple as that. Every bad or good thing she had done for me or to me did not matter. She was getting ready to step into Eternity. As scripture says  a place made by God not by hands. 


The problem with the death of someone you love is this thing called grief, it affects your life in so many ways. My wife tells me I watch to much TV, and  she is right, but it helps me to put things away in my head so that what ever is bothering me that day goes to the back ground and becomes a whimper instead of a constant roaring in my heart and soul. Now that sounds like I am trying to escape reality that I want to be off in my own little world and try to cope there, instead of reality.  Well not quite, but there is some value in that concept. The reality of the world we live in bites us every day. We are forced to lay aside our grief and our wants and desires and end up catering to a system that drags us down into a hole of despair and ruin. Then we have to claw and fight our way out and most of the time it takes a toll on us emotionally, physically and financially.



So the question is , how do we cope how do we manage to come out of this hole that life has put us in and at times we scream at God and tell him what we think.Then at times we fall on our face before the Lord and beg his forgiveness and ask him to rescue us from the situation. The rescue comes in many forms, most of the time its the peace that takes over your mind, body and soul. The Bible calls it the peace that passes all understanding. What I wonder about is why after 14 years I still feel the grief like it was just yesterday. Today I thought about it and then came up with some answers, do not know if the they are the right answers, but they seem to be the answers I needed this morning.

Number 1, I was a horrible son and I feel guilty about the things I did not do. Number 2 I feel guilty about the things I did. Number 3 , it was all her fault and not mine , there were things that happened that were beyond my control and beside I was a kid. Number 4, the divorce between mom and dad was some how my  fault. A long time ago I quit blaming myself for it. They were adults and it was their doing not mine. Yet it left a vacuum in my heart, some would call it a large hole. The thing that stands out in my mind that I was a scared little boy a good part of my life, and it was beyond my control. 

All of the above reasons numbers one through three are things that Satan uses to drag you down. In case you are wondering who Satan is , well he is the devil and he is real, Jesus told Peter,  Satan is like a roaring Lion seeking to devour your soul. All of us were most likely bad sons or daughters at times in our life causing our parents lots of anguish and turmoil. If you blame your parents for some of the stuff that happened to you , which was real and not imagined,, you have every right to But let it go and ask God to help you to forgive them and then asked God to forgive you of your unforgiving.

Grief is a funny thing, it helps you and yet it drags you down. I know I miss my mom and I talk to her and I talk to God and I can see her standing there asking God to help me, because like everyone else stuck in this. fallen world  I need it. I pray today for each who read this and ask the Lord to rescue you from your despair and your grief, and if you are resentful or angry , I pray that the Lord brings you out  of this. God bless you and keep you this glorious day.
