We need to ask!


Life…


Every day we live we are celebrating the life that God blesses us with. Sometimes it’s hard and sometimes it’s easy but we should celebrate each day. God loves us but there are some things in our lives that He doesn’t approve of. Some of them are things that we do and we don’t think about them. We think about things and do things that we take for granted.

Ask yourself this question: Would Jesus go with me here or approve of what I’m doing? I know that sounds like the WWJD bracelets that were popular for a while but if you are a Christian, that’s exactly how you should live your day to day life.

He said for us to take up our cross daily. That means we are supposed to nail our old way of life to the cross every day and follow Him. Think about it.

Do you know Him?


Believe it or not, He is coming back for the church and that includes everyone who believes in Him as their Savior. If you’ve only heard about Him or maybe you never gave your heart to Him, I’d suggest seeking Him as your Savior. Eternity is a very long time to be in hell, make sure that you’re not.

If you will believe…


God gives each of us faith to believe and if you have that, Jesus can do so much in your life. I pray that all who read this page and my posts will seek to know Him as your Savior. The time is drawing near for His return for the church. Don’t put your eternity in jeopardy, make sure of it.

God loves all of us, that’s why Jesus came to pay for our sins. All you have to do is believe like the thief on the cross did and you will be saved. No rituals, just believe that He died for you and ask Him for forgiveness and you will be healed of the sickness of sin. It only takes faith like a child because the Holy Spirit will change your heart and your life to be more like Him. Thank you for reading and God bless you.

Are we at a turning point?


You could say that for sure. If you read Daniel 9 and Matthew 24, many of the prophecies contained in both of them can be seen in the news today. Does that mean we’re at that point in history? I believe it is very likely. Will Jesus be coming back soon? Maybe but only God knows that day or hour that Jesus will come for the church. Even if someone tells you that it will be tomorrow, next week, or even next year, don’t believe them. Jesus said it would happen like a thief coming in the night. No one knows when He will appear in the clouds to call the church home.

Are we really at a turning point? In our history…yes, I believe we are. There are too many prophetic points that are lining up and happening all around the world for it to be ignored. Yet, the world around us and most news agencies are ignoring the signs. Why? Because the Bible is spiritually discerned and most of the world looks at the Bible as just some old book. Only Christians who have the Holy Spirit living inside them can understand the signs that are showing up.

I pray that even more people will come to know our Savior before He comes to take the church home. Because the time that comes after the church is gone will be unlike any the world has seen since the flood of Noah. It will actually be much worse than the flood. During the Tribulation, there will be 21 judgments of God on mankind during those seven years. Some people are wondering if the Bible is true because the prophecies of the book of Revelation haven’t come true yet. God is giving mankind more time to come to know Jesus. That is the reason He has delayed His judgment. The time is running out so make sure of your eternity before it is too late.

Dreams and visions


The Bible foretold that in the last days old men would dream dreams and young men would see visions. It is happening today in the Middle East and bringing people to know Jesus as their Savior. God’s prophecies will not be stopped and His purposes will always perform that job that He intended to happen. It doesn’t matter whether you believe in God or Jesus because their purpose and will for this world must come to pass.

No power on Earth can stop those prophecies from coming true. Many people today would like nothing better than to be rid of Jesus and His church but that isn’t going to happen either. The only time that the church will leave is when Jesus comes back for it and then the whole world will know that God’s Word is true. I pray that you will seek out Jesus as your Savior if you don’t know Him yet. Because when that trumpet sounds and the dead in Christ rise to meet Him in the air, I pray that I will be counted among that number of saints. That day will be joyous and very sad too because the children who haven’t come to know right from wrong yet will be taken up too.

Don’t be left here after the church is gone because Satan will be turned loose on this world and life will become much harder to live because of his wrath toward the church and the believers whether they have left or not.

Let your light shine


Where are You?


I know that I’m not the only person to ever ask this of God. In prayer, out loud, and sometimes even yelling it when no one else could hear me except Him…I hope. Even when God’s Word says in many places that He will never leave you or me, we still feel that He’s silent or absent. The best thing that we can and should remember is that He is always near. If we feel that there is distance between us and God it is because we moved. We have placed the barrier or the wall of fear and uncertainty between us and Him. He has not moved.

God is always true to His Word and His promises because He is God. He doesn’t have our problems or our fears and anxieties although He knows how they affect us and our feelings toward Him. That is the reason He came to live among us so He would be able to truly identify with our weaknesses and our frailties. He is the Creator of everything and He loves you and me. Don’t think that He has the same fears and hangups that we do. He knows about us and our fears but God is above those things.

Seek Him out when you feel weak and afraid because He is close to you and He will strengthen you in all of your trials.

“God will strengthen you” is a phrase from Isaiah 41:10 in the Bible: 

  • “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand”.

In the original Hebrew, the verb translated as “to strengthen” means “to grow and develop; to prevail; to have or show courage; to seize, grasp, and keep hold of”. 

Read God’s Word…


You can’t store His word in your heart unless you read it regularly. I would like you to get the benefit of His Word because His benefits are far above any others.

Don’t believe everything


Are there false prophets/preachers in the world today? Absolutely! Many agree with the socially and spiritually backward and they are preaching in a pulpit and leading whole congregations to hell! I don’t know any personally, but the time that we live in invites false teachers and it was prophesied two thousand years ago that this would happen.

The most joyful that you can be about this is because Jesus lives and God is in control of all of His Creation, those false teachers won’t be able to change one iota of your destiny. If you believe in Jesus as your Savior then your future is safe and secure and no person on Earth can change it. I pray that everyone who reads this will seek Jesus as their Savior before it is too late because no one is promised tomorrow.
