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. 

Agree

Commitments and Determinations don’t always get the job done. 
Did you ever notice that?
I have.
Because I said I was going to turn off my digital screens every evening at 8 o’clock and wind down with a paper and ink book in my hand and here I am at 10:00 sitting before this digital screen. 

We are asked to make commitments on a regular basis. Even preachers ask us to make commitments. 
Maybe my memory is faulty but I don’t recall Holy Spirit ever asking me to make a commitment to Him. 
I’m serious.
On the day of my salvation, I did not make a commitment to JESUS.
I didn’t commit my life to Him. I didn’t have a life to comitt. I was dead in trespasses and sin. 
I accepted His offer. And He did the rest.
Every good change that has occurred in me since that Tuesday night in 1975 has been ALL HIM.
It’s All His doing.
My role is agreement. Step by step, moment by moment agreement that He is right
Some days I am more successful than others at agreeing with Him. Cause you see when I agree with Him I obey Him.

The Christian life is not about making commitments or determinations or any other such thing that the flesh can muster up to do.
The Christian life is successfully lived when we AGREE with Holy Spirit, moment by moment. 

Now do to-do lists and decisions and guidelines and plans help?
Of course, they do!
But unless they are Holy Spirit prompted and energized, we more often than not fail. At least I do. 

Don’t worry so much. Don’t fret. Don’t beat yourself up. Don’t run yourself ragged. Or run yourself down. 
Just let Him teach you to enjoy His company.
Just let Him teach you about Himself and let Him train you to enjoy agreeing with Him
And you means me here too!

John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”  source

Matthew 26:41 “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. source

Happy Tuesday, y’all.

It’s Only the Trailer

I dare say there are Folks in my world that will attest that I have walked a few days in Faith and that GOD has given me a fair amount of wisdom.
There are others who would no doubt say I am a fanatic or perhaps old, naive, and not woke.
I’ve come to peace with the opinions of both camps. So much so that I am about to give both camps fuel for their campfires.

2020.
Covid. Masks. Vaccines. Political Insanity. Social Debauchery. 
The Movie has not yet begun but 2020 is the trailer. 

And what is the name of this movie to be released?
Here’s a hint: Revelation 13:17
The release date for general audiences is not yet known.

But the wise are purchasing extra oil and trimming their lamps. (Matthew 25)

Hey now! I’m not alone!! Masks Are an Eschatological Dry-Run for the Mark of the Beast    

Life, as we knew it in 2019, has ended.
2020 is nearly gone.
If 2021 brings changes as drastic as did 2020, are you ready?

Does GOD Care?

Does GOD care about the Nation called America? 
Does He care if human liberty reigns here? 

Did GOD ever care for America? 
I can only believe He not only cared He gave favor and blessings to establish this Republic. I am confident Letters, Documents, Books, Sermons and etc. clearly indicate GOD’s purpose in establishing America.  
Inasmuch as He began us has He now abandoned us? 

Is it of no concern to GOD if murder, corruption, greed, lies, hypocrisy, fraud, robbery, and all manner of evil be unchecked among us? 
Can you imagine that GOD has turned a deaf ear to His very own children who are crying out to Him day and night to have mercy and bring justice and repentance to America? 
Did GOD give kings to Israel,  but He has no interest in Presidents in America?

In your own relationship with GOD, did He not come to meet you right where you were?
Did He say to you, you got yourself in this mess, now get yourself out? 
So, why would He make that stand with this Nation He birthed? 

There was a time when Matthew 28:19-20 was obeyed by Christian Americans more than any other people groups the world over. Do we really think GOD has forgotten that? 

Citizens of Israel supported or opposed kings as the Prophets spoke. 
Would GOD condemn us for doing the same? 

Hebrews 13:8  (NKJV) Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. source

James 1:17  (NLT) 17 Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. source

Matthew 28:19-20  (NKJV) 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. source
