IT’S THE END TIMES – WHAT DO I DO?

Heaven Will Be Undivided
August 2, 2020
It is important to see things through the eyes of God, which can totally be found in the scripture if we read it for ourselves and ask His help to understand it. Everything happening today was foretold by God. Thousands of years in advance. Because “ He knows the end from the beginning.” He dwells outside of time. That’s why it is so foolish for man to seek “mediums” and horoscopes and such to find “wisdom” when God is Wisdom Himself. He made everything and knows what it’s purpose is, and when it will come to an end.
The beauty is – that He has offered us through accepting what Jesus Christ did on the cross and accepting Him as our Lord – we are offered the promise of living in His kingdom – forever – where there are no more tears, pain, sorrow…..heaven. And in the here and now – we will never be alone. He will never leave us or forsake us. We have good promises to stand on. Having faith is believing what He said – no matter what you see.
God will protect us in this crazy time or take us home to His house at our appointed time.
As for where we are now…..it’s all in the Book. Don’t be afraid to look.
God will arise to judge the earth – but if we are in Him, in Christ – it will be okay for us.
Here is an interesting scripture about God “shaking” the earth. For us – it is so our reliance will be on Him. But for the world and the enemy of humanity, the devil, Satan. He gets his way for only a moment in time – and people decide who their allegiance will be to. Then for Satan and all those that have chosen to follow his ways……it will end…..and not well. Choose life. God rules heaven and earth and yes, we will have to live by His ways…..because a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. And heaven is undivided.
Isaiah 2:17-22
The arrogance of man will be brought low
and human pride humbled;
the Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
and the idols will totally disappear.
People will flee to caves in the rocks
and to holes in the ground
from the fearful presence of the Lord
and the splendor of his majesty,
when he rises to shake the earth.
In that day people will throw away
to the moles and bats
THOUGHTS….
June 17, 2020
So I was settling into my reading time in the morning and as I began with Psalm 68 – a song of David. It begins…. “May His enemies be scattered.”
It jumped off the page at me and I let my thoughts wonder. Why does God have enemies? What has He done to deserve that? God is a good God and anything He has ever done has been for our good and betterment. And He gave us His best and most costliest gift – His Son.
My mind went to the scripture in Matthew 13:27,28 “ So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’
Sometimes we forget – AN ENEMY HAS DONE THIS. Satan is the “father of all lies” and he has spent millennia sowing lies about our Father God and His Son and Kingdom. Our world is clouded by lies and this is what we must fight.
It is easy to look around at this upside down culture and throw our hands up and cry – “but what can I do about it?” Well my friend – that is a GREAT thing we can do!!! Share the TRUTH. “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.”(John 8:32) We can help to free people by speaking and living God’s Truth and undoing the lies Satan and his followers have sown. In any way you can!!
There is something we can do – speak, share, live the truth contained in God’s Word and it will do the rest. “It shall not return void”.
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
God bless your day!
Joshua Generation – Poem
June 16, 2020
There is a Joshua generation
Awaiting their time to shine
God has put them into deep preparation
For in darkness arises their time
As scripture says and says it well
Darkness will cover the earth
It is in that time – they’ll rise and shine
And many will come to New Birth
Many of the “Moses’ – leaders God made
Have already departed this place
For you they have left God’s truth and Ways
And pointed the way to His Face
The first will be last and the last will be first
It will not be easy for you
But if you are here, suffice it to say,
The crowns you will earn have great worth
So keep going my friend
The pain will be deep
But joy comes at its end
God will be there every step of the way
As your Lord, your Savior, your Friend
Finish the race until it’s end
Rewards await for you
Mostly the smile of God Himself
When He sees His reflection in you

A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
May 29, 2020
Did you know…..King Solomon – the wisest man that lived, wrote the entire book of Proverbs and was chosen to build the temple of God. Did you know that he fell away from God and worshipped idols at the end of his life? I don’t think I have ever heard a sermon on it, though I had read it in the Bible. And still, it shocks me today. Here is the account in 1 Kings.
1 Kings 11:4-10 “For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom[b] the abomination of the Ammonites. Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as did his father David. Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon. And he did likewise for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
So the Lord became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned from the Lord God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice, and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not keep what the Lord had commanded.
So the reason I bring this up is because of the following scripture below concerning the falling away
2 Thessalonians 2:3,4 “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
At end of his life, after such a life of glory – he fell away from God. Soloman!! How could this be? It is actually quite simple. He did not obey God in everything and ignored God’s warnings and command.
1 Kings 11 “But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites— 2 from the nations of whom the Lord had said to the children of Israel, “You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love.
It is often that we do the same things. Cling to the very things God has asked us to let go. We stay in the “worldly mindset” and don’t renew our minds and lives to the Word of God and God’s ways. It may not matter for a long, long time – but look at the end results.
This should be a warning, especially in this hour to listen and obey God’s directives. Lest we think, like Soloman, and dismiss some of God’s commands and end up snared and trapped. Apart from God we can do nothing…
I know it’s a lot to think about. But we are living in the last days and things can’t be taken for granted. We need to live under the shadow of the Most High (Psalm 91) where our good Father just wants to protect us and keep us safe.
Lord show us any area we have been ignoring and blowing you off. Keep us safe in the shadow of Your wings and protect us in the hour. Amen
Are Aliens Found In Scripture? Alien aircraft? Check out What the Bible actually says…… you need to know NOW…..
April 30, 2020
Are Aliens Found In Scripture? Alien aircraft? Check out What the Bible actually says…… you need to know NOW…..
It is a question that few will tackle. But rest assured that God has given answers to all we need to know in scripture.
We are shown in scripture that there are several types of “beings” that God has created besides man. We, mankind, are described as being in the very image of God, (Genesis 1:27
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.) And that if we become born again through Jesus Christ, that we are forever the children of God. And by default those that reject Christ are described as: (John 8:44 ” You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do.)
When we die as believers in Christ, we are absent from our bodies, but our spirit/soul is present with the Lord. ( 2 Corinthians 5:8 “We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.”)
We know that heaven is a real place. We have also been told that there are creatures around the throne of God singing “holy, holy, holy.” and eyes all around them. (Revelation 4:8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”)
We know too that there are holy angels that serve God and that there are fallen angels, precisely 1/3 of the angels that rebelled against God and followed the fallen angel Lucifer, whom we now call Satan.
There is a whole unseen world that God has chosen to keep our eyes veiled to.(1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.) Occasionally the Holy Spirit chooses to open someones eyes to see into that realm. (discerning of spirits – 1 Corinthians 12:10) God’s angels that serve Him, fallen angels, demonic spirits that serve Satan. It is a fascinating study and things are not hidden in scripture as we see that Jesus cast out demons from the demoniac at Gaderenes. ( Luke 8:30
“Jesus asked him, saying, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons had entered him.”)
There are many other scriptures where we see good angels sent from God with messages. Like Gabriel sent to Mary the mother of Jesus to tell her the good news that she had been chosen to carry God’s son.
What about these angels? We know there are Good angels that obey God, and bad angels that follow Satan in doing all kinds of evil.
How do we tell the difference? That is the tricky part. God instructs us : (1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.)
I want to show you a few scriptures that seem clearly to indicate that those “posing” as aliens are actually deceivers and working for Satan.
Did you know that when Jesus was asked by His disciples about the signs of the end of the age – His biggest concern was – yep – Deception. So how could we be deceived by these dark angels? Number one reason is that we do not know the TRUTH. God gives us everything we need to recognize the plans of the evil one. So Ignorance of God’s word is our greatest weakness.
Did you know that Jesus said the Satan and false apostles can appear as angels of light? :
(2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.)
Get that – Satan and fallen angels can take the form of “religious, good, people, or even claim to be aliens from another planet or in touch with them.” When you read what the end time false prophets and anti-christ can do – it may shock you. Here is the scripture: (Matthew 24:23-24 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand.)
The sad part there is that He says that “even the elect” that is believers…..could possibly be deceived.
That is why we must know our scriptures.
I suggest that you read Revelation chapter 13, all of it but here is part of it: 11-17 …. (Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 1And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.)
There is so much more and I hope you will continue to study.
My main purpose is that if these things begin to show up and claim to be from another planet and are here for our benefit. Remember that Satan is the “father of lies” and called a “Deceiver”. He hates God and he hates God’s created ones. He wants total control. Now I’m not saying that people are walking around that are fallen angels – but we know that people can be influenced and straight out possessed and used by these wicked spirits, and we need to be wise. (Hebrews 13:1 talks about how they can take human form).
Satan will come in this final hour as an Angel of light. Seeming to have power, good answers for mankind, and with good intentions. But after 3 1/2 years – anti-christ will seem to have a fatal wound – and become the first human to be completely possessed by Lucifer AND he will demand that every human worship him and take his mark . If a person does this and renounces Christ – he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
I know this is long and most of you already know this. But I see so many scriptures being fulfilled right now. (read Matthew 24). I care about you and want you to be ready to NOT be deceived. The key is…..now, “Call on the name of the Lord, (Jesus) and you will be saved” Just call out to Him “Lord save me, I am yours and accept all you have done to rescue me and prepare a place of goodness in heaven with you for eternity. Thank you for taking the judgement that belonged to me as you hung on the cross. Help me to know you as My Lord and keep me from the evil one and from decepton.” Amen
REMEMBER AGAIN ALIEN = Fallen Angels Don’t be fooled.
AS a side note – we know that angels in the Bible have been known to have “vehicles” that go in and out of our dimension. For example a “chariot of fire” came down and took Elijah to heaven. (2 Kings 2:11
Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.)
So if God’s good angels came to get Elijah in a chariot of fire. What makes us think that the angels that rebelled and followed Satan wouldn’t know how to make and operate these vehicles too?
Don’t be fooled by these vehicles. There may be lots of “unusual things” as this age comes to an end and readies for the second coming of Jesus Christ as King of Kings and Lord of lords!!!! Stick with God’s Word. And always ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth. He was sent specifically to be our “Helper, and Comforter” Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
Blessings in Jesus Christ and How Awesome we are alive so close to HIs return!!!! Be encouraged and Be Wise Students of His Word.
Why Might God Have Closed The Churches?
April 8, 2020
Maybe God allowed the churches to be shut – so that we could become “hot” in our private/personal relationships with Jesus. It is NOT good to be lukewarm. Many think they are not – but they are thinking about man’s definition of hot. God describes it as this…”they overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the word of THEIR testimony for they loved not their lives even unto death” Rev. 2/3 America has been lukewarm for the most part. All of us can become “hotter” unashamed of our relationship with Jesus Christ. Caring less about what people think of us and more about pleasing the only One that is worthy of that kind of devotion. Can I get an Amen!
THE HOUR – SHORTLY BEFORE THE RETURN OF CHRIST
January 21, 2020
THE HOUR OF THE 10 VIRGINS – SHORTLY BEFORE THE RETURN OF CHRIST
THIS IS THE HOUR WHERE YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN OIL.
Read again this important parable that the Lord Himself gave to us concerning the days just prior to His return:
Matthew 25:1-13
The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins
“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
“And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
“Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’
“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”
Notice that Jesus said…..”I do not know you.” These five foolish virgins had a lamp. They were expecting the coming of the bridegroom. They were hanging around the wise virgins. But they did not have something the others did. You see – NO ONE ELSE CAN GIVE YOU A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS! They can lead you to it, tell you how to get one, instruct you how to have oil….. but they can’t give you a relationship with the Master. You have to get that all by yourself. It is personal. DON’T DELAY IN DEVELOPING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS IN PRAYER, TALKING TO HIM, AND STUDYING THE WORD. MEDITATE ON IT. PUT IT IN YOU. PRAY IN FAITH BELIEVING THAT HE HEARS YOU AND WILL PREPARE YOU.
For the wise virgins …..strengthen yourselves and realize that you cannot do this for others. You need to stop enabling those around you by doing the spiritual work for them. Help them by praying for them and pointing them into a relationship development of their own. If you do not they will drain your lamp of oil and wear you out. God does not expect or desire you to do that. Your eyes are to be on the coming bridegroom. Instruct others – but continue to face the door of the coming of your Savior.
The hour is late. Strengthen what remains. Do not enable others to be lazy in their walk with God. You are big hearted people, but some have taken advantage of your love and grace just as they do to God. Pray always for mercy on those God has placed in our lives, but cast your care on God. Pray that God will open their eyes to their own need to seek God with all Their Hearts!!!
Rest in God and stay vigilant in His Word and prayer. You will need all the oil you’ve gotten, through relationship with Him, knowledge of His Word, and being filled with the Holy Spirt, and obedience…. to walk in these last days, overcome, and give Him glory. Remember: “If God is for us who can be against us….”
It’s not too late to get things right between you and God. Seek and you shall find. Seek Him with all your heart, fill your heart and soul, and let your light shine.
God bless and shalom

Romans 7:24 “O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.”
Even the great Apostle Paul struggled with his flesh….we have to take up our crosses DAILY and crucify the flesh and the lies of the enemy that try to defeat us.
God is for us!! Every day we are in a battle – like lambs to the slaughter….but thank God that we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. We get up – ask forgiveness and know that each new day is a gift. You are a child of God and God doesn’t walk out on His children….He keeps helping them grow.
So when Satan comes with condemnation – even if you blew it in an area. Repent – and enjoy the forgiveness and fellowship bought and paid for by Christ. Don’t let the devil steal your joy. The Bible says: “ His mercies are new every morning, great is thy faithfulness” God’s grace and power is there to help you overcome sin and the flesh and the devil. Don’t give up. There is a crown awaiting overcomers and we are overcomers as long as we don’t quit.
Remember you were chosen to be alive at this time. God has a plan to use you for His glory and He can’t wait to reward you. He is a good Father. I know we don’t do it for the reward….nevertheless He spoke and wrote it because it was important to Him that we know this. The Bible teaches we will all throw our crowns at Jesus feet because He is so worthy. He did for us what we could not ever do for ourselves and freely gave it to us!! The ability to become the sons and daughters of God and part of His family forever.
If you get time read Romans 8 again. It is packed with so much!
Love you all!!! I am cheering you on in Christ and praying for you!! I can see the beauty in you!! I can see you as the bride of Christ dancing before Him in the beauty of holiness.
(Don’t cringe at that! lol I know you see all the sins you’ve lived in and don’t see how – one day at a time, one battle at a time. I remember well the battles in the beginning! Keep going!!!! There is special honor for end time believers that don’t give up and endure till the end!! You’ll never be perfect….that’s not your goal…..to follow Jesus and His Word as best as you can and stay close to Him. Never get caught up in the “doing” ahead of just “being” with Him . It’s out of relationship that change happens !!) Many will be purified by these times – so stay close to Him and discover His peace that dwells deep inside of you no matter what happens in the world.
“Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord.” Zechariah 4
As we lean on Jesus……
Romans 8:31 If God is for us, Who can be against us.
Much love and prayers
