I’m Saying

I am saying it again.
I am not a prophet.
I am not a Scholar.
I am not a Theologian. 
I am a simple woman with some age on her who has been born from above for a few decades. 
I have learned some things but not nearly enough. 

I think life is about to get exciting for the children of the Re-Birth.
We are about to be offered the privilege of suffering for our Beautiful, Holy, Loving Jesus.
For some of us, our own families are going to turn on us. It has already begun.

The open haters of GOD and the religious folk who do not know GOD but think they do are even now stepping up their game to silence us – one way or the other.
Presently people of the Conservative persuasion have been grouped in with us and are being heavily targeted.
It is not going to get better.
Congress and Others in Washington and across the country do not wish to be our friends.
They have more than proven they are not interested in Truth and Justice for all. 

I hope I am wrong; time will tell.
Today I do not see evidence that America is going to heal.
I don’t see evidence the vast divide is going to heal because people only heal if repentance and forgiveness are abundant in the giving and receiving.
Just today I saw hate spewed with glee from the very leaders that are old enough to know better, but they don’t. 

So.
I do get tired of the lies and hate spewed daily and I get tired of the bias and the lack of prosecution of the Elite, but I am praying and I am waiting.
I am certain my Father will do justly when the doing of same will do the most good for the most people.
Nothing gets wasted by Him – not even sin.
He uses it to bring repentance and deliverance to those who will hear Him. 

Back to my initial reason for coming here. 
We are about to be offered the privilege of suffering for Jesus.

Because the sins of the CHRIST-Rejectors and the Religious are increasing, more and more they shall turn on us.
They cannot reach GOD but as the Father allows, they will seek to hurt us.
And we shall be hurt BUT WE SHALL NOT BE ETERNALLY HARMED.
They do not have the power to do that. 

We can and should expect GOD to show up.
We can and should expect miracles that we have heretofore not seen.
We can and should expect Holy Spirit to comfort us, shield us, and supply our every need, every step of the hard and cruel ways that are fast approaching. 
The Devil is mad and so are his people.
He has but a short time (in comparison to what he has had). 

Now because the people belonging to the evil one are driven and controlled by him, they are coming for us – we must not greet them with anger.
Believe me, I KNOW what a tall order that is! 
In the natural (in the flesh) I am a Tennessee hot-head!
I also know this: The anger of man does not bring about the righteousness of GOD. See
James 1:20.

Am I suggesting making ourselves their punching bags? 
Absolutely not!

I am saying seek the Righteousness of our Father in our thoughts and our deeds.
I am saying let Him teach us to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. 

Matthew 10:16  (AMP)
16 “Listen carefully: I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves [have no self-serving agenda].  source

I am saying our Brothers and Sisters in the Early Church counted all as loss for JESUS. We are about to get that same privilege. They prepared this way: 

Acts 17:11 (NLT) 11 And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth. source

Notice it does not say they read the Scripture for 5 minutes and then ran out the door. 
They SEARCHED the Scripture DAILY. 

And if we want to live well in the coming days, we shall do the same. 

Chain of Command

Here for a moment with a thought which arrived while I was doing something else.

We have never had a better time to read our Bibles, to prize them dearly, and steadily pour those Scriptures into our hearts and minds. 

Consider this, as it presently stands when January 20, 2021, is done there will be not one person in the chain of command that we can trust to act in our best interest.

These are dark days BUT JESUS is still the LIGHT of the World.

How well do you know Him?
Could you read your Bible more?
Could you obey what you read more than you do?
Will you make holy changes?

What Time Is It?

Second Monday of 2021.

Click. Click. Click. Time marches on. Year after year. For now.

How about a little reading this morning? When you read it put some soul in it. Read it like it means something to you. 

2 Chronicles 15  (NKJV)
1 Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded.
 
And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. 
For a long time Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law; 
but when in their trouble they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them. 
And in those times there was no peace to the one who went out, nor to the one who came in, but great turmoil was on all the inhabitants of the lands. 
So nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every adversity. 
But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”
And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in the mountains of Ephraim; and he restored the altar of the Lord that was before the vestibule of the Lord
Then he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who dwelt with them from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for they came over to him in great numbers from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him. source  Emphasis – mine.

Removing the idols is not enough — the altar must be rebuilt. 

What do see here? 
Does anything here sound relevant?
