"People have often had to complain about a divided life: The only way to obtain deliverance from this is to see that the blood of Jesus covers everything. For the blood to embrace everything; everything must be surrendered." Andrew Murray
A true Merry Christmas discerns the climate. There is a war and
these are the days we live in. It will get more clear as time goes on who is
with who. It's no surprise there would be a satanic display next to a nativity. Why
should this shock or offend? There is no such thing as a middle ground. For all
time, there has only been life or death. We can talk of the great divides in
politics and religion to no end, but the Bible brings clarity and answers to
the reality of life or death. Jesus is Life.
“And he said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the
prophecy of this book, for the time is near. Let the evildoer still do evil,
and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy
still be holy." "Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense
with me, to repay each one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the first and the last, the beginning and the end." Blessed are those who
wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that
they may enter the city by the gates. Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and
the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and
practices falsehood.”
Revelation 22:10-15 ESV
“So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will
spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need
nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and
white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness
may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.”
Revelation 3:16-18 ESV
“Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life.
Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who
lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"”
John 11:25-26 ESV
“They answered him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus
said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing the
works Abraham did, but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the
truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. You are doing the
works your father did." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual
immorality. We have one Father—even God." Jesus said to them, "If God
were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came
not of my own accord, but he sent me. Why do you not understand what I say? It
is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil,
and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the
father of lies. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. Which one
of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them
is that you are not of God."”
John 8:39-47 ESV
“"There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine
linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor
man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell
from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man
also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes
and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he called out, 'Father
Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in
water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.' But Abraham said,
'Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and
Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in
anguish. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed,
in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none
may cross from there to us.' And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, to send him
to my father's house— for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest
they also come into this place of torment.' But Abraham said, 'They have Moses
and the Prophets; let them hear them.' And he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if
someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' He said to him, 'If they
do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone
should rise from the dead.'"” Luke 16:19-31 ESV
“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not
gather with me scatters. Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be
forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And
whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever
speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in
the age to come.”
Matthew 12:30-32 ESV
“"Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity
and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the
River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. And if it is evil in your eyes to serve
the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers
served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose
land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Then
the people answered, "Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to
serve other gods, for it is the Lord our God who brought us and our fathers up
from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and who did those great
signs in our sight and preserved us in all the way that we went, and among all
the peoples through whom we passed. And the Lord drove out before us all the
peoples, the Amorites who lived in the land. Therefore we also will serve the
Lord, for he is our God." But Joshua said to the people, "You are not
able to serve the Lord, for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God; he will not
forgive your transgressions or your sins. If you forsake the Lord and serve
foreign gods, then he will turn and do you harm and consume you, after having
done you good." And the people said to Joshua, "No, but we will serve
the Lord." Then Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against
yourselves that you have chosen the Lord, to serve him." And they said,
"We are witnesses." He said, "Then put away the foreign gods
that are among you, and incline your heart to the Lord, the God of
Israel." And the people said to Joshua, "The Lord our God we will
serve, and his voice we will obey." So Joshua made a covenant with the
people that day, and put in place statutes and rules for them at Shechem. And
Joshua wrote these words in the Book of the Law of God. And he took a large
stone and set it up there under the terebinth that was by the sanctuary of the
Lord. And Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a
witness against us, for it has heard all the words of the Lord that he spoke to
us. Therefore it shall be a witness against you, lest you deal falsely with
your God." So Joshua sent the people away, every man to his inheritance.”
Joshua 24:14-28 ESV
The Spirit is: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness,
Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control. Against these there is no law.

Share the Secret!!
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the
world."” John 16:33 ESV
That peace Jesus provides will be inside of you and can not be
influenced by the circumstances around you after you place your trust in him.
Pray that God would overcome your "tent"...that
flesh-finite body your eternal soul dwells in now. Pray that God would convict
your mind and heart that engages with your will, that free choice will, that
can yield or harden to the Spirit call of God.
The "enemy within" is mightier then you think, and is
a result of broken borders, the compromising of right for wrong, disobedience.
It is stronger then any person's will, political platform or religious
platform. The real enemy within is our sin and death nature which we can not
free ourselves from. The only way to defeat the sin inside us is by repenting
and placing our faith in the one who is sinless and who already is victorious
over death. Jesus, the sinless man, is far stronger then sin and death, and
death is stronger then Satan who is working overtime to keep your mind from
hearing the secret. Satan would have you choose your self to sin and die rather
than choosing Jesus to repent and live. Jesus has the power to transform these
bodies of ours now by renewing our minds through his Word, and in the future by
giving us completely new bodies in the air! Jesus said, "repent for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Know your real enemy and pray this song and verse below to begin
the process of victory inside!
Watch the nations overcome sin and death as they look to and
trust Jesus for Salvation and true inner Peace.
“But let me reveal to you a WONDERFUL SECRET. We will not all die,
but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an
eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who
have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be
transformed. For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will
never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies. Then,
when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die,
this Scripture will be fulfilled: “Death is swallowed up in victory. O death,
where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? ” For sin is the sting
that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives
us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 15:51-57 NLT
We live in a world that will not acknowledge that God can do
what it thinks is "impossible." However, Jesus the Christ is
"the needle in the haystack." He, God in a man's body, has made
himself known and approachable among men. He can be found against all odds!! He
shines!! He has proclaimed this! Give him props....
“In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me
wholeheartedly, you will find me.”
Jeremiah 29:12-13 NLT
“Those who heard this said, “Then who in the world can be
saved?” He replied, “What is impossible for people is possible with God.””
Luke 18:26-27 NLT
This ought to be the GLOBAL Anthem!! It's not
just about America! Life is about coming to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. As
King of Kings. His reign will be global.
It's the turn in the right direction: To be
close look them in the face. If the face is turned away there is not much
engagement. To see the eyes...then you know. The soul's eyes long to gaze the
face of the Son. A sunrise brightens that heart when seeing him face to face.
The expressions of that face speak an eternity; they are the reflections of his
loving heart that satisfy....for an e t e r n i t y. Listening eyes welcoming;
smile warm...He meets us where we are, as we need....face to face. He provides
what we really want. We long and need the face of Jesus.
As time marches forward, I see more and more how faith actually
has substance. The reality of things that were once foretold now unfolding
before our very eyes. How hope and assurance in the things unseen can not be
controlled or manipulated by the things of this world. Nothing can separate us
from the love of God.
How important is the Word of God? You can put your whole trust
into God and his Word and never be disappointed, and fully satisfied.
“Faith is the confidence thatwhat we hope for will actually happen; it gives us
assurance about things we cannot see.
By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at
God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be
seen." Hebrews 11:1, 3 NLT
“Can
anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves
us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute,
or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake
we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.” ) No, despite
all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither
death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our
worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s
love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all
creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed
in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:35-39 NLT
Think about the times we live in and their magnitude. We are actually witnessing the real push towards the legitimization of one global government, one global religion, and a one global economic system. The beginning of the end is unfolding, and awesomely, the Bible reveals what the motive is for this one world push in (Revelation 13:4, 12, 16, and 17). Do not be deceived. The Word of God is faithful to you. This world system's infrastructure has already been established (UN 2030 Agenda), and many systems are being put in place to try and help it along (such as Obamacare, and calls to control the internet and media ). All in all, it will be interesting to watch how quickly this inevitable "globalization" might come together especially when there is resistance towards it. Is it a surprise that there is intentionality in creating a myriad of chaotic circumstances to this end? Really, what is the "refugee crisis", what are all the years of spending that leads to massive national debt? How does ISIS spread so quickly? Look at the timing of this war with Russia as it's right when we're about to elect a new President in America who threatens the goals of NWO. Who is responsible for that? And Putin is a Nationalist not A Globalist like Obama and Clinton. The examples are endless. Right now we're being told to prepare for nuclear war and are at DEFCON 3. Cruise missiles are being launched into Yemen by the US. Russia is making strategic moves in the Baltics. Montana has a no fly zone over it. Lots of things are happening and the media is silent about what is relevant.
But we need to digress to a more important perspective. One that emphasizes a truly hopeful outcome. Whether Trump or Clinton wins the Presidency this is the bigger issue needing to be realized. GOD's sovereignty covers all that is above and all that's below.
Have you ever wondered what the Bible says about Jesus' Authority and his Kingdom that will reign over this very earth? Below are over 60 verses from the Bible about that. Even though this NWO will be established at the cost of many lives and in defiance and rebellion towards God, Jesus will make it right by destroying it quickly. Do we think God will allow Israel and his Church to be destroyed? Do you think God wants you to be help captive by your son and the world's? No, God has a massively good plan, and we can hope in that to unfold perfectly in his timing by faith! Jesus already defeated all evil and death and sin through the cross and his resurrection, and there will be faithful righteous believers in Jesus who intercede for others in the storms ahead.
"In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever." Daniel 2:44
Do you believe Jesus' theocracy is inevitable? All the below verses are important to rest in as this world does what it's going to do, and amazingly, all that has been written in the Bible will come to pass quickly. We're all going to be surprised at how fast it all occurs. It says Jesus will judge the world system with swiftness and finality. It says the Anti-Christ will be over come by just the breath of Jesus' mouth, and it also says that the military powers of the NWO will be gathered in a valley called Megiddo in Israel to come against Jesus but to no avail.
Honestly, is this the stuff of fairy tails? I pray you are not deceived through what's coming. The world would have you believe more in the coming of demonic aliens then the coming of Jesus Christ. All this might be hard to believe, but when you read the Bible and watch what is actually happening in the world you can not deny the Word of God....if you love the truth.
"for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth speedily, swiftly and without delay and with finality."” Romans 9:28
“And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming."
2 Thessalonians 2:8 ESV
“For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. ("Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!") And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon (Megiddo).” Revelation 16:14-16ESV
The Valley of Megiddo. (Armageddon will take place here)

This is NOT the stuff of fairytales, but things do unfold in such a way that you can be caught off guard / misled if you aren't watching. From Prophecy Watchers:
"The Euphrates River is mentioned in the Book of Revelation in a prophecy that is predicted to occur just before Jesus returns. During the Great Tribulation, when the global destruction of the last days is threatening the very existence of life on Earth, the Apostle John says:
“And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.”
Rev. 16:12
During the upcoming World War III, just before the attack of China and the other countries to the east upon Israel, the Euphrates River will be removed from being an obstacle by drying up. This will permit the march of a 200,000,000-man army to reach the Valley of Jehoshaphat (Armageddon) just as Christ returns to fight against them (Rev. 9:16). Could the current trend toward drought in this region and the dramatic decrease in the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in recent years be the first stage of the fulfillment of this prophecy? In the words of John the Baptist, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord!

Very Important! If you ever wanted something to pray for here it is. These are very specific items to pray about that influence the future. The battle is in the heavenly arena.
Excellent Article! We have a responsibility, as a people, to vote in those who will lead us. Therefore, the people must have a discernment of right and wrong. But what if the people lose the Way? I believe our only hope is, as a people, to repent of our own personal sins. Those of yesterday and those of yesteryear, and to trust God to forgive us through his Son Jesus Christ. Then humbly live by faith in the Way. This includes those running for President. Put God into the equation.
The common denominator for all people is this:
““For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants. ”” John 3:16-21 NLT
I'm grateful to have met my high school Sweetheart 27 years ago, and she has been my wonderful and beautiful wife for 23 years now. We have been given 3 precious kids who are so fun and a blessing. I am passionate about Jesus Christ who has saved me from my sin nature. I desire to live a daily life of repentance for him, and to decrease so that he can increase in every aspect of my life. Since the life we live on this earth is so short in view of eternity, I desire to encourage people to spend time reading the bible for themselves, and to seriously consider the claims Jesus has made on each person's life. Our final personal decision about Jesus Christ is the most critical one we will ever make. It is the one decision that will determine where each person will spend eternity. My hope and prayer, if you spend time on this blog, is that you will come to know Jesus as your personal Savior so that we can spend eternity with him together!! God Bless You!
