Living in troubled times

“Wars and rumors of wars and perilous times“; this is one of the prophecies that Jesus told His disciples about when they asked when the world would end and the end of the age. It is paraphrased because my memory can’t remember it word for word, but we are seeing this happen now. If you want to know what is happening and what will happen soon, read God’s Word. Many prophecies tell of this time and the years to come, if you will only believe.

God is the only one who can see these things that we are seeing on the news today. He knew that they would happen many years ago, and He is allowing them to happen now. I pray that those of you who read this will seek to learn of His wisdom by reading His Word with an open mind and a seeking heart. None of the “news” that is happening now has taken God by surprise because He has known of it and its coming for many years.

I am not writing this to frighten anyone. I am writing to let you know that God has a plan, and everything you see and hear in the news is part of that plan. Nothing has happened by coincidence or by accident.

This is a powerful Psalm to read

Be strong and courageous

God can overcome evil!

We are supposed to overcome evil with good as well, but we can only do it IF we have God in our hearts.

When you ask Jesus to come into your heart and save you from the sin that you were in, it is His power that gives you the ability to overcome evil. Life is full of good things that everyone can see and feel, but some bad things happen every day, too. Prayer is one of the weapons that we have to overcome evil in this world and we should use it. Will God stop evil in this world? Sometimes He will, but He won’t stop all of the evil in the world because even God uses the outcome of it to bring about His purposes.

It sounds wrong to say that God would use evil to accomplish His purposes, but He does. God loves us all, but many of us have not given our hearts to Jesus. He is still trying to bring as many people in the world to Jesus as He can, but He knows who will respond and who won’t. The age of grace is coming to an end, and if you want to spend eternity in Heaven, you should give your heart to Jesus as soon as possible. I don’t know when He will call the church home, but it is much closer than many people think.

I pray that anyone who reads this post and hasn’t given their life to Jesus will consider it and make that decision soon. The Tribulation spoken of in the book of Revelation will not be a pleasant time for anyone on Earth, so be sure you get your life and your heart right with Jesus before it is too late.
