Food is nourishment for the body, but MOST IMPORTANTLY, The WORD OF GOD is most important nourishment for the Mind, Body, and Soul. Deuteronomy 4:29

Earthquakes and the Church
Hello Family,
As you can see in the title, there is an earthquake occurring in the church. It is so strong, that even the non-believers sense the shift in the spiritual side of our existence. When you take a look at the temporal side (physical earthly side of existence), you can see that the church is not the same as it used to be. God is making a large move in the church, and on this earth to prepare us, who are truly His children, to wake up and get back into motion for the Word of God, for His name to be glorified among the nations of the World. It is so intense of a shake, that there are many who are falling away and turning to false doctrines, false gospels, old sins, idols, becoming complacent, and becoming loveless. This is truly a terrible situation and it has come to the point where the United States has been having more and more sinful laws, leaders, and lawlessness abound throughout the whole land.
Where is the church?
Well, most are embracing the sins of the sexually perverse groups, the pedophiles, transgenders, gay, lesbian, and other cross blends of the same. Sex trafficking has risen, which is sex slavery. There are many in the elite groups who are involved in these practices. They are going after boys and girls. The Sexual deviant organizations are involved in these same practices just as much, indoctrinating people and children into these sex crazed slaves, who have become predatorial, and hurt children, young men and women.
These and the Planned Parenthood organizations in the United States have been killing people and destroying hearts. Planned Parenthood has been working hard to kill babies, even after they are born. They are extremely perverse and destructive in their ways!
There are churches out there that support all of these movements in various ways. Do they know it? Most likely. If they don't, then they are ignorant, but still just as responsible.
The Word of God says that His wrath will come upon those who are undiscerning. Those people who are ignorant in the ability to identify evil in their midst, and push back, do not have the Holy Spirit inside of them, or they are little lambs in the body of Christ and need the church to reach out and use their gifts to grab them out of the slaughter house.
They are not able to understand that what they are giving their money to, or whom they do a rally with are supporting such degradation. God will still hold them accountable in the end. Where is the church that is filled with the Holy Spirit? Who will heal the hearts of the broken, destroyed, and mutilated in spirit and body?
There are those church bodies that are choosing to compromise and embrace the sinful natures of the flesh and Satan. They are choosing to say it is ok to stay in sin and to become more flamboyant with those sins. That is in some church bodies, not all. However, there is a major condemnation to those deceiving leaders and church members who are aware of what they are deceiving the new believers into.
There is a remnant left who are truly on fire for God and teaching the true Word of God. There are some who are using their gifts mightily for God, while others are squandering their gift as they are fearful, asleep, or too tired. Too much apathy, leads not only them to judgement or consequences, but others to become lost, destroyed, or die. What a powerful calling we bear in these last days. We are called to build up the church in the the ways of the Spirit of the One True God. To add to the body of Christ and build up the new converts to the Way of Christ Jesus, through the accurate reading and teaching of the Word of God.
"Hear this, all peoples; Give ear, all inhabitants of the world, both low and high, rich and poor together. My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall give understanding. I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will disclose my dark saying on the harp."
This is to reference all people who are rich, poor, young, or old. All people of the world are being referenced here by the Lord through these people called the sons of Korah. Then, they explain that they are going to give a "proverb", which in Hebrew means a simile. They also say they are going to give a "dark saying", which in Hebrew means a riddle.
Psalm 49:5-9
"Why should I fear in the days of evil, When the iniquity at my heels surrounds me? Those who trust in their wealth And boast in the multitude of their riches, None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him— For the redemption of their souls is costly, And it shall cease forever— That he should continue to live eternally, And not see the Pit."
This scripture speaks about the fact that people who are living in sin, or in this statement "iniquity" are those who boast and care deeply about their wealth. They fail to see that their life is short and at the hands of a living God on the other side. They seem to not understand that not a drop of anything they think they made, were given, developed, or saved on this earth will become nothing once they die. If they die without Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they WILL die and forever be in Hell, or eternal death. The lake of fire is what they wait for once they die. This is where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Where there is no God, no light, no peace, no relief. There is a scripture, Luke 16:19-31, of a man that Jesus mentioned who is in Hades. He calls out to Abraham to have Lazarus give him a drink to cool his tongue. Abraham told him that he knows that he can't go to the rich man from Abraham's Bosom, nor can the rich man come to him. There is a vast expanse between both areas in eternity. Heaven is where those who were in Abraham's Bosom, before Christ Jesus ascended, were brought. They are those whom Jesus set free to go to heaven with Him, after His death and resurrection. The choice was that rich mans, to live his life in obscurity and iniquity. He chose this while Lazarus was poor and struggling. Lazarus had Jesus as His Savior, so in the end, Lazarus had everything, joy, peace, and comfort forever.
King Solomon was given the most wisdom any man on earth had every received: besides Jesus our Lord. He received Godly wisdom and he wrote the Book of Proverbs. He expressed how life on earth is so short and that chasing after the things and experiences that give pleasure, happiness, and excitement as if they are going to last forever, is like chasing after the wind. There is no point in such frivolity and selfishness! This goes back to the concept of the ways of the flesh, "the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life".
Psalm 49:10-12
For he sees wise men die; Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish, And leave their wealth to others. Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever, Their dwelling places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names. Nevertheless man, though in honor, does not remain; He is like the beasts that perish.
This piece of scripture speaks about how ALL (wise and undiscerning) will die at some point and all of that which they built up will be left to those in the land of the living on earth. All non-believers in Christ Jesus believe that their things and land will last forever, and that their namesakes they put all of their efforts towards during their time on earth, will continue forever after they die. They are hoping their names will continue in honor after death. However, they can and most likely will be forgotten, and their lives of the past, just as a dumb beast dies. The world will eventually forget them and their land will given to another. All are vulnerable and all are going to decay, or see the Pit (decay) after death.
Psalm 49:13-15
This is the way of those who are foolish,
And of their posterity who approve their sayings. Selah
Like sheep they are laid in the grave; Death shall feed on them; The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be consumed in the grave, far from their dwelling. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave, For He shall receive me. Selah
This part of scripture speaks about those who are self-confident in their life and what they are doing, as well as where they will go when they die. In verse 13 it speaks also about the people who are pleased and satisfied with these same people who have self-confidence that their "fate" or course of life is going wonderfully and they are going to have a great after-life. These are people who don't believe in the living God, our Father in heaven and don't believe in Jesus our Messiah. These people reject the Savior and subscribe to people and beliefs of those people that go against the truth of the Gospel of Christ Jesus.
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
These people are going to go to "Sheol", in other words the lake of fire that is mentioned in the Biblical text more than once.
This link will bring you to Pastor Don Stewart who wrote free books to educate you and I on many different topics as they pertain to Biblical concepts and principles. Please click on this link and take a closer look at what the Lake of Fire is and then if you like that book, please take a look at his numerous other awesome works. 😁💓
If you don't know the Lord Jesus Christ and want to know and be confident in Him and what He did for you, as well as your salvation in Him. If you want:
To be saved and redeemed by His suffering and sacrifice on the cross
And because He rose from the dead three days later, you want that same benefit attributed to you after you die
If you are a new believer or just gave your life to Christ Jesus, please leave me a comment or email me from this link and let me know. I would love to pray for you and encourage you as you experience this world with the new life Jesus Christ gives us.
God the Father is excited when more are added to the family of Christ Jesus.
Abba Yahweh wants to be the one and only God in your life. He wants a one-on-one relationship with you and all of the humans He formed and made on this earth.
He loves you and looks forward to the day that you and others would come to Jesus Christ, His one and only Son, accept the gift that God the Father and His Son, Jesus gave you.
Our awesome Father in heaven and Lord Jesus Christ made a way, the only way to true redemption. This is the acceptance and belief in Jesus Christ as God, as God's Son, as the one and only Savior of mankind.
He did not let anyone put Him on the cross. He gave Himself up, as a perfect and final sacrifice to the cursed cross so we can live forever with Him and Abba Yahweh (Daddy God). (Hebrews 10:1-18)
Verse 14 explains that these people who are not saved will have death tending to them, and the people who are alive and well will continue living while they rot in the underbelly of the earth, Sheol, far from their home or "lofty abode".
Verse 15 is clearly showing that the "sons of Korah" are not worried in the least for their salvation, as they believe in the future Messiah, Jesus to come and redeem them in the time He was appointed to save the world through His death and resurrection.
Psalm 49:16-20
Do not be afraid when one becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased; For when he dies he shall carry nothing away;
His glory shall not descend after him. Though while he lives he blesses himself
(For men will praise you when you do well for yourself), He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They shall never see light. A man who is in honor, yet does not understand,
Is like the beasts that perish.
These verses speak about those people who are in iniquity (wickedness) and yet they seem to be prospering and doing really well. They are getting the jobs and not getting any persecution for their life choices that are either immoral or simply not about living for God the Father in heaven and our Lord Jesus Christ, but they live for themselves and the time and season they are living in at this moment in time. James 4 speaks about these principles. God is saying through James here that "friendship with the world makes you an enemy with God our Father. It also says that all need to humble themselves in the sight of God. Realizing who you are in God's eyes is of vital importance as a human on this earth. It takes a person who is willing to come to terms with the fact that you can never be good on your own terms with the living God in heaven by your own merit. This majority of the time leads a person to truly have a broken heart before the Lord Jesus and our Father God in heaven, realizing we need Him and He does not need us. He is the potter, and we are the clay. Never does it ever change, and it never will. We will always be at the hands of a mighty God. He is pure, perfect, and deserving of all respect and all glory. He deserves all of our worship and trust on this earth and after death.
These are a some scriptures that hits these concepts home more: (Click on them to read them)
The need and effect of a humble and contrite heart before God our Father:
These are just two verses that explains how vital it is to acknowledge and know full and well that God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ deserve all honor, glory, and praise. Never any idol, man, or anything or anyone else deserves praise and worship. Our allegiance and loving devotion is to be to Him, and Him alone. Our Father God is worthy to be praised! Our Lord Jesus, the righteous and rightful King is worthy of our praise!
Verse 20 speaks about the fact that without understanding, the rich person, such as the type being described here, is just going to die and that is the last of the honor, comforts, and prestige they will ever get in their existence.
Are you ready to meet the living God of Heaven and Earth? He is the Creator of all existence and you are not. He is the one who decides your ultimate fate, and you do not. God the Father gives you time on earth to turn from your wicked ways, die to your selfish desires and pride, and turn to Jesus Christ, His gift to humanity. Jesus is truly the only way to heaven and He is a stumbling block to those who are perishing. The longer you wait to give your life to Christ Jesus, the more likely you are going to experience the tribulation or die without Him.
Read James 4 once again (if you even read it one time since reading this entry), and realize that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. If you die tonight, are you ready? If Jesus is sent to come get His bride (the true church), are you ready to be taken?
Friends, the enemy is on the loose and he is angry because he sees the writing on the wall. He knows the Bible inside and out. He knows it better than we do, as he and his brood of demons have had a very very long time to study humans and God's word in it's entirety. They know their time is about to draw nigh. Do you?
There will come a day when you will not have more time. There will come a day when you will have your mind handed over to your depraved interests and your love of self. God is a just God and He is good. He gives every opportunity for all to come to Christ Jesus and accept Him as their Lord and Savior. All if takes is recognizing you are a terrible sinner who has no hope on this earth. Then, when you look to Jesus Christ as your redeemer and ask Him to come into your life, believing that he suffered and died on the cross for you because of your sins. If you believe that His blood is that ransom and that He is the only true way to God the Father and Jesus in heaven. If you believe that Jesus rose from the dead three days later and walked the earth in His new glorified body for a time. If you believe He ascended back to heaven to make a place for you after you come to Him and accept His sweet sacrifice and gift of redemption. Then pray these things to Him, ask Him for forgiveness. Tell Him your belief on these things. Thank Him, Praise Him, ask Him into your heart and the Holy Spirit, through your faith and Jesus's grace alone, will come into your heart and begin a beautiful and perfect work in you. Whatever the Father and our Savior Jesus have planned for your life is beyond all comprehension and greater than you could ever dream. Our God is an awesome God and a good good Father. How simple, yet how wonderfully complex. All you have to have is a humble heart and believe. All you have to do is confess to our Father in Heaven and He will hear you. You may not hear, feel, or notice anything. But, that is what faith is. It is the hopeful expectation of something to come. You expect that our God in heaven will hear you, forgive you, and redeem you as He said in His word.
Again, if you gave your life just now, or even rededicated your life. Please let me know and take a look at my links at the top of the blog, You will see there is a website as well, which will lead you to a sight filled with all of my videos and more information. The link posted in this blog also are ways to find out "what is next". The link is here for your needs.
Family,
The days are getting darker, the enemy more crazy and subtle to the unknowledgeable. When I say unknowledgeable, I mean unbeliever. If you are not able to see what is actually going on spiritually in our world right now, nor able to see the warfare happening right in front of our eyes, then you might need to reexamine how your walk is going. Please take some time in my other blog entries and videos. There are many exhortations about our walk as believers.
Read and reread Romans 1:18-32. These are the days of Noah and you should be able to see these things going on as we live and breath right now. Notice the worship of the earth, notice the perverse people coming out blatantly in our faces, notice all of those same behaviors becoming more encouraged, even by those claiming to be "Christians". I will post a link to a video from Jack Hibbs, where he points out these aspects. There is a remnant left family of Jesus Christ. We are the only ones who understand the times we live in; therefore hold fast and be found doing the Father's business. Hold fast and don't waver. When you feel off, ask some questions:
1. Are you reading your Bible (or listening) at least one time a day?
2. Are you studying and memorizing scripture daily.
(Remember, you can always listen to a sermon to help you focus, or listen to audio apps) I am happy to share some (blue letter bible, Bible hub, You Tube, and You version)
3. Are you spending time with the Father and Jesus often and always? "Be still and know that He is God" should mean you need to stop and just seek Him. He tells us in various places to seek Him and He will draw near. (James 4 is one)
4. Are you assembling with believers? We edify and confirm with one another. You have to be connected to a small body of believers. Isolation is dangerous. No different than a lamb walking away from the group and being devoured by the wolf waiting for that sheep to be alone. We need one another. Meet and use your gifts to give God glory and help each other live during these times. You are not healthy alone and never will be.
5. Are you seeking your gifts from the Lord Jesus and asking how you can be used by Him. He has a plan for you, but rarely is it a large expectation at first. I didn't start this blog without first being obedient in other things in my life. Serving is a process. Jesus knows what you can do and when you can do it. Lean on Him and His timing. Doing things in your own strength is not healthy and hurts you and others in the long run. Remember though...Jesus knows what it is like to be a human earth and our fleshly desires and thoughts. He understands and will give the grace and mercy needed as you learn. Ask for forgiveness when you falter and get up and go!
You are greatly loved. Please remember who you are in Christ Jesus and stay glued to your Bible. You need to read. The Holy Spirit was given to us to help us learn to read the word and understand it in light of our lives and needs, as well as God's expectations and commands to us. God our Father loves us so much and wants the best for His kids. Get ready family!
It is a Narrow Road Scriptures to read and pray concerning this posting: Jeremiah 18:1-23 2 Chronicles 16:9 Isaiah 21:4 Deuteronomy 28:1-68 Isaiah 59:1-21 Isaiah 55:8-9 Psalm 45:1-17 Commentary: Take a moment and consider the people of this land, the United States of America, this day: Justice does not exist in this land. People who are not indwelled with the Holy Spirit, indeed can’t discern truth from lies, so they are constantly deceived. Morality is all they have, and even that is a lie for them. They can’t keep up with their own lie of believing they are good. THE DAYS OF NOAH Walking with God, and practicing righteousness is impossible because people are doing it in their own strength with works and not with Jesus. He is our strength, not man nor ourselves. People act like they can hold it together and still be in sin. They want to believe they are holy or righteous. They are not, because they are constantly blinded by their pride. They stumble for the next best thi...
What Does One Do With Uncertainty? Youtube: Even (I'll Still Praise) [Acoustic] - Genavieve Linkowski - Collab w/ Metro Collective & Mass Anthem My friends @metrocollectiveworship wrote this amazing worship song and asked me to sing on the acoustic version! I absolutely love this song and how this version turned out! Hope you all are blessed! James 1:17 - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. This song came to my mind last night and I woke up with this. A friend and sister in the Lord, came to me about some things. It confirmed that this was not just for me, but all of you. Praise Him in that time and place you are, whether in time of rest, happiness, and healing, or in time of great turmoil and fog about your future. It is okey to cry and praise Him. I do. We are made to feel, but feel with the awareness of Who our God was, is, and will alw...
Please Call Now! God is Standing By Waiting For Your Call This is a commercial by your sister in the Lord Jesus Christ. If you have a deficiency in funds of hope and joy, please take a look at this: Be Encouraged! How awesome Abba (Daddy) God is that we can call Him whenever we need Him! His love never fails! Jeremiah 29:11-13, Jeremiah 33:3….Did you know God’s phone number is Jeremiah 33:3? I love this concept. Never cease praying and trusting Him, because He never stops waiting to be called upon by us. Pick up your spiritual “cell” and make the call…never hang up…keep the connection. He wants to be in every detail of our lives. This sermon is a few years old, but still in season. Us who are battle weary need to remember our Great Shepherd Jesus and that He has been our example. Paul wrote Romans to encourage all of us as believers in times of great adversity. How do I know? Well, looking at the context of Paul’s time, in Rome, they were not all in church environments, but in ho...
