THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A TIME WHEN HE WAS NOT

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A TIME WHEN HE WAS NOT

"Of old You founded the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.   "Even they will perish, but You endure; And all of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed.  "But You are the same, And Your years will not come to an end. Before the mountains were born Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. {Psa 102:25-27,Psa 90:2}

"For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.  "From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you," says the LORD of hosts. "But you say, 'How shall we return?' Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. {Mal 3:6-7,Heb 13:8}

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. {Jas 1:17,Rom 11:29}

"God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? {Num 23:19}

The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail... but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently.   Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. {Lam 3:22,Heb 7:24-25}

When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last,  and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. {Rev 1:17-18}

WORLD EVENTS -- THE TIME IS NEAR

WORLD EVENTS -- Focusing on what is really important!

Several years ago in a discussion with a dear friend and pastor Brian Oakes, the idea of Satan developing a keen understanding of the instant benefits of reliable 4G LTE cell service became a fascinating and compelling topic. There was a sudden silence as we came to the realization that what we had found fascinating was, in reality, here! Right now! Not only has the Devil a keen understanding but has also quickly mastered the concept of "Point and Click".

Now, if you are 70 years old or above, you might recall the days of the Party line or Rotary Dial Telephone. I remember as a child our very first telephone. The phone number was 21. Two digits. It was a very small town. Portable or mobile telephones did not exist when I was young. In many respects I am glad they did not exist even in my teen years! There was something unique about hand writing a letter to that special girl, mailing it only to wait three or more agonizing days for a reply. Satan, by the way, was very active back then just like today. More of his sweat-equity was involved in the old days!

World War II had just ended when I came into this world. Wars to follow included Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. We as Americans stood together. We did not always agree on all things, but if you messed with one American, you messed with all of us. God was in schools, around dinner tables, in High School Year Books, in human hearts. Sadly, those days seem to be waning. Perhaps gone forever. Somewhere around 1970, a division began to set in around this country. Around this globe. It was subtle but persistent. Demanding but not outlandish. Or so we thought! Faith in God was first to be questioned and subdued. What ever name this movement was called, it steadily eroded trust, honesty, unity. As time progressed, it became all about me! Stark individualism. HEY! WHAT ABOUT ME??

I'm going to cut to the chase here or this missive might go on for hours. Those of us who are well seasoned in years have lived in the days before a single hateful word could travel around the globe in a millisecond and enrage a million people to violence. Today's technology, as awesome and wonderful it's original plan, is no longer a tool for mankind. Mankind is now it's tool! Hatred is now instantaneous. AS it is thought in the mind, it spreads in the blink of an eye.

We are under attack constantly by a barrage of InstaGrams, Facebook alerts, Twitter things. News is now only a one sentence headline of OPINION. Facts be damned! {facts demand more --Who, What, Where, When, Why & How? }

Do you own a smart phone? The reality is that your smart phone owns YOU! Even for those who wear the full armor of God and are strong prayer warriors, the technological temptations are huge and weighty. It is imperative, beloved, to stay strong and focused on Jesus because the days are quickly approaching and the evidence is clear and present the end times are here!

Huge Biblical sized locust swarms are growing TODAY in Africa, beginning to invade India, Iran, Pakistan, breeding quickly as they destroy everything in their path. The Global impact of the Corona Virus and the unknowns we face. {Pestilence} It is a time of warning. A time to double check your belt-line to be sure you are properly clothed in the Spirit and love of our creator.

Let me close with this scripture of God's promise and warning that God delivered to Solomon in a dream;

2Ch 7:13-14  "If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people,  (14)  and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Stay strong in your faith. Stay strong in scripture. You who are saved are a child of God. Jesus bought you with the price of His blood on that Old Rugged Cross. Stay strong in your prayers. Share your testimony with everyone you meet. Have no fear, He has you!

WHO FEARS THE LORD?

Who is the man who fears the LORD?

Psa 25:12

Who is that man? Well, my beloved, that man should be YOU!

When a fellow has a healthy FEAR of our Lord he automatically pays closer attention to what is right and what is wrong. This life on earth is and always has been temporary. Having a reverential relationship with HE who made you and knowing that His Word in the Bible is a road map to eternity in His Kingdom needs to be your constant focus. The door is through Jesus. Open your eyes. Open your heart!

"The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.   "But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!   "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. {Mat 6:22-24}

Most of us attempt to keep one foot in the World, and one foot in relation to God. The Lord is a jealous God. This posture will not work out well for you. Oh, and, time is not on your side!

In God's economy, it is all BINARY. You are either a believer or you are not. It is either Heaven or it is Hell. You are either saved or you are not. There is no middle ground. It is Your decision. Time is getting short, my friend. Make a choice.

The Bible is a dynamic, living, breathing life guide that when taken for your spiritual nourishment results in celestial muscle. Muscle that the Lord loves to use for His purposes. We all need water and food to survive. A man also needs a big helping of Biblical food for that eternal celestial ride.

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. {Psa 119:105}

The HOLY Spirit is your counselor. You receive Him when you receive Jesus.

Your ears will hear a word behind you, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right or to the left. I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.  Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, Otherwise they will not come near to you.   Many are the sorrows of the wicked, But he who trusts in the LORD, lovingkindness shall surround him.   Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart. {Isa 30:21/Psa 32:8-11}

My friends, I pray that you have already reserved your travel arrangements to your eternal home. Take a moment and examine the confirmation ticket you hold. Both final destinations have names that begin with the letter "H". Which destination is yours?

I know, O LORD, that a man's way is not in himself, Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.  (24)  Correct me, O LORD, but with justice; Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing. {Jer 10:23-24}

O' LORD, YOUR WILL BE DONE!

"My Father....Your will be done."

Mat 26:42

I know, O LORD, that a man's way is not in himself, Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.  Correct me, O LORD, but with justice; Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing. {Jer 10:23-24}

O LORD, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty; Nor do I involve myself in great matters, Or in things too difficult for me.  Surely I have composed and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child rests against his mother, My soul is like a weaned child within me.   In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;  and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. {Psa 131:1-2, Rom 8:26-27}

No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.  Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. {1Co 10:13-14}

For whom the LORD loves He reproves, Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights. {Pro 3:12}

'See now that I, I am He, And there is no god besides Me; It is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal, And there is no one who can deliver from My hand. {Deu 32:39}

'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD.  "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. {Jer 29:11,Isa 55:8-9}

For those whom the lord loves he disciplines, and he scourges every son whom he receives."  It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?  But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.  Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live?   For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.   All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. {Heb 12:6-11}

In all cases O Lord, Your Will Be Done!

WALK IN HIS BRILLIANT LIGHT

...According to your days, so will your leisurely walk be. {Deu 33:25}

Just before his death, Moses blessed the sons of Israel. They were prepared to enter the Promised Land, the wilderness was now behind them. Moses encouraged them to obey that which God had spoken; to remain true and faithful to His word. In doing so, the LORD would be with them and clear their way. The KEY lesson Moses taught was to OBEY!

This same requirement is upon us today. Those who believe and obey hear the truth. As we do, our way is cleared and well LIGHTED by the very spirit of our Lord. Not everyone can hear the TRUTH; Jesus answered, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." {Mat 13:11-Mat 6:34}

Our Bible is rich in the WORD of GOD. Written from His very breath through Holy inspiration by precious souls filled with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. It is TRUTH, it represents LIFE. It represents HIM.

O God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God! He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power. {Psa 68:35-Isa 40:29}

And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.  (10)  Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. {2Co 12:9-10-Php 4:13}

Beloved, Let the BIBLE reflect your FAITH, your THEOLOGY and DOCTRINE, and declare it your CONFESSION, and authority for your belief in the living GOD, JESUS the CHRIST, Amen

O my soul, march on with strength.

{Jdg 5:21}
