"My child, you must be careful to acknowledge your need of Me.  Never believe the words of the world; fickle and false are they. Stand on the truth, shun evil and do good."

Following Him, we have nothing of lasting significance to lose, and we have everything to gain! Walking with Jesus in His lowly path -- never ceasing to demonstrate His love, yet never compromising His truths to win approval -- we enjoy a peace and joy that far surpasses all earthly thrills. Our lives will be full of challenges, but He has promised to provide all the resources we need.

“My grace is sufficient for you," he assures us, "for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”

Hopefully, you and I will echo Paul's heartfelt response:

"Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

"Man lives amidst lies; proclaiming truth he lies. Few within the church speak truth. The church has continually lied, deceived, and led astray My people until the lie has become the reality for millions. Examine all you see, all you hear. No longer accept what is spoken as truth. Examine all things for truth or error. Sadly there is much error and very little truth to be found in the church today."

"Now therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts, "Consider your ways! "You have sown much, but harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns, earns wages to put into a purse with holes." Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Consider your ways! " Haggai 1:5-7

"Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you--unless indeed you fail the test?" 2 Corinthians 13:5

"Do I have any pleasure in the death of the wicked," declares the Lord GOD, "rather than that he should turn from his ways and live?" Ezekiel 18:23

"What will man do when all that he has is taken away? Where will he turn? Millions face disaster daily yet few take the time to pray.

The derelict on the street of hopelessness. The prostitute standing lonely and scared. Tens of thousands die daily apart from Me yet no one notices until forced to notice; Texas, Las Vegas...

People of the cross do not be dismayed, perplexed or troubled by what is happening in your world. Know that I AM rules and reigns in the hearts and lives of man and what is happening has been ordained from the beginning of time. Great will be the trials of My people, but greater still the rewards for those who finish strong the race set before them."

"Men love to trust God (as they profess) for what they have in their hands, in possession, or what lies in an easy view; place their desires afar off, carry their accomplishment behind the clouds out of their sight, interpose difficulties and perplexities -- their hearts are instantly sick. They cannot wait for God; they do not trust Him, nor ever did.

Would you have the presence of God with you? Learn to wait quietly for the salvation you expect from Him."- John Owen (1616-1683)

"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit." James 5:16-18

"Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the LORD, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon." Isaiah 55:7

"...remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world." Epheisians 2:12

"...let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins." James 5:20

With a humble heart, I come before the LORD, asking for nothing, just to say 

THANK YOU

...while the words of this song ring in my ear:

How can I say thanks for the things You have done for me, Things so undeserved - yet You give to prove Your love for me -The voices of a million angels cannot express my gratitude.  All that I am or ever hope to be ~ I owe it all to Thee.

To God be the glory, To God be the glory, To God be the glory,  For the things he has done...

I recognize I am but dust, and as tears well up in my eyes, I gratefully acknowledge ~ I am but a sinner ~ saved by His Amazing Grace.

He is Risen, I'm forgiven - Hallelujah.!!.

Pause for a moment this Thanksgiving - let us be truly thankful as together we say 

THANK YOU and PRAISE THE LORD.!.

'Now I will shortly pour out My wrath on you and spend My anger against you; judge you according to your ways and bring on you all your abominations." Ezekiel 7:8

BE ALERT TO THE SIGNS OF OUR TIMES!

America has been blessed with unusual freedom for more than two centuries. But now -- as multitudes reject God's Word, justify immorality, laugh at evil, and embrace depravity -- the protective walls of justice and integrity are fast eroding. In their place, we see a rising tower of global tyranny.

Americans are no longer safe from the persecution that has tested the faith of Christians through the centuries. In fact, God warns us that the global battle against Biblical Truth will surely intensify. While we don't know His timing, He tells us to be alert -- always ready to follow His way, trust His grace, and demonstrate His strength -- no matter how fierce the foe.

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." Ephesians 6:12-18

"Great calamities await the redeemed of the LORD. Cataclysmic upheaval and ruthless attacks from powerful entities deep within the government. You are not saved to retreat you are saved to engage in battle; a battle for the souls of man. Man is standing on the edge of eternity.. My anointing will break all yokes.. You must not let your guard down. You must not allow the enemy to gain a foothold nor allow him to advance. Take your position, guard your heart. Repeatedly I have spoken...prepare. Engage in the battle. It is time to fight. Passivity has no place in a war. Dress for battle (Ephesians 6)  It is time now to be a warrior in the army of the LORD. Choose you this day whom you will serve. Take your position as a child of the King. Using your authority as the blood bought redeemed of the LORD defeat the enemy. When he speaks...you speak louder for My Words are power, life and truth. Defeat all strongholds with The Word in The Name of My Son.

The tide is turning. Obstacles, grave obstacles are coming to this nation and around the world. Man lives in a fantasy world of make believe and will not realize the approaching danger.  The great the small - all will see changes coming to your nation. Many will be bewildered, others unconcerned. All will suffer the pangs and arrows of the evil one. Faith will be tested. Rebellion has no place in the heart of man. My children have strayed away from truth to pursue the unrighteous ways of the world. Examine yourself, examine your motives, examine your heart.

I grow tired of warning without response or change. Man refuses to turn from his sin and continues to allow the filth to spew without lifting a voice in protest. Do you think I will continue to turn away, giving mankind a pass from his sin? No I say..NO.! Adonai is too holy to continue to look upon the nations and not bring correction.

Your days are numbered. Quickly they are ending. "Yes, yes" you say. "I've heard all this before." If you have heard why have you not obeyed?"

Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity And passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in unchanging love.  Micah 7:18

You, even You, are to be feared; And who may stand in Your presence when once You are angry? Psalm 76:7

But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God...Romans 2:5

"Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil...." Ephesians 6:11

"Child of the King hear The Word of your LORD. Be BOLD in your witness for Me. Take a stand for righteousness. Do not cower in fear but stand strong under My anointing.

Difficult days are approaching. Great upheaval, spiritual war. Prayers for America and POTUS Donald Trump must be offered. Great upheaval. Satan rages against the good. Knowing his time is limited he moves quickly to steal, kill and destroy. The war will be won or lost through your obedience to My Word; as you pray, as you believe, as you fight the good fight of faith.

 Millions are not ready for what is coming upon the earth. Millions are blind to what is going on. Pray and proclaim...be bold, be strong, be faithful. Deliverance will come to My people when they acknowledge their sinfulness and be reconciled to Me. Man has a shallow, narrow image of I AM. Man does not understand My power, My strength. Man grows weary of the fight. Refusing to rest and be refreshed, he languishes in self pity and rebellion, moving away instead of drawing closer to Me.

Grow up My little ones. It is time....grow up. Stand as men and women of faith. Move from the milk to the meat of My Word."

"Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong." 1 Corinthians 16:13

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;..." Hebrews 10:13

"Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you He will not fail you or forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

"Many waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers overflow it; If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love, It would be utterly despised." Song of Solomon 8:7

"Rest in My love...Always. Never doubt My love for you.  Child of Mine, you are loved with an everlasting  eternal love. No demon in hell or power on earth can ever change My love for My children. Great obstacles will come against My children, but remember My Words and take comfort in knowing; 'Lo, I AM with you always'...Always.  You are never alone.

Write on the tablets of your heart; 'my God reigns'. Words of comfort, Words of healing. Cling to them, hide them in your heart. Treasure them but do not allow them to fall away from you. Soon coming is a time when many will need to hear My Words but be unable to find truth. Man has many distractions which take him far from Me. His time is spent in trivial pursuit as he moves farther away. Days turn into weeks, weeks months and months years with many never realizing the hopelessness of hell awaits.

You will have the truth if you will hide My Word in your heart and be able to share with those who have need of it."

"See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him." 1 John 3:1

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him." John 14:21

"The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23 

"But, indeed, for this reason I have allowed you to remain, in order to show you My power and in order to proclaim My name through all the earth." Exodus 9:16

(The following word I received after the NYC attack and prior to the attack in a Texas baptist church)

"There is coming great sorrow to this nation. Gird your loins and prepare to fight the good fight of faith. Do not expect you will understand all that will happen...trust Me. I will never leave nor forsake those who belong to Me. My mercies are new each morning, great is My faithfulness.

The hurting will continue to hurt because they refuse to reach out to Me...the One who offers help and hope in their time of desperation. They continue as before; making their own way - handling everything that comes their way alone and scared. Oh that men would cry out for My help. Pray for those who have no hope. Pray they will see how lonely is the road apart from Me. Watch and pray.

NYC is only the tip of the iceberg. A very small example of what will one day come upon this nation and around the world. Men have scorned the Name of God, rejected the Son and ignored the Holy Spirit but soon men will cry out in agony without knowing where to turn. My Spirit will not always strive with man.

Prepare My people, prepare. Time is slipping away. Harder, more intense will be the days ahead. Know that greater is He that is within you than he that is in the world, trust in Me and be at peace. Will the redeemed of the LORD rise up to proclaim My goodness or remain complacent and silent in the face of adversity? Who will speak if you remain silent? Who will stand up for truth?"

"For I proclaim the name of the LORD; Ascribe greatness to our God!" Deuteronomy 32:3

"Some boast in chariots and some in horses, But we will boast in the name of the LORD, our God." Psalm 20:7

"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." 2 Corinthians 12:9

"...and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,.." Ephesians 1:19-20

"My people - hear My voice, My Words of admonition calling all to repent and return to Me...but few listen. Millions care little for the things of The Spirit. My message remains the same. It has not changed. It will not change. Man also remains the same; stiff necked, hard hearted and self motivated.  Little thought for the things of God occupy their time. Such a sad commentary for a nation of plenty and potential.

...if my people who are called by My Name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Oh that you would see, hear and believe. Seldom does man listen when his world is upright and happy. Tragedy brings man to an awareness of God. To question his future never enters his mind apart from trouble, I so desire to bless, but I will not allow man to languish in sin until his heart cannot be touched. Sadly days of trouble bring many to times of refreshing and an awareness of who I AM. Many know about Me yet few know Me. The real I AM has been hidden by religion and denominational traditions. Pride prevents many from seeing truth.

Soon enough I will shatter the ideologies of man, opening doors that have long been closed. Pray that each tragedy will bring fallen man one step closer to Me. Many will walk through the doors; many more will continue to walk the way of tradition. Repent (have another mind) before your holy God. Recognize your sinful disobedience and repent. The ways of man are contrary to the ways of God. Repent! The brokenness of this nation demands it."

"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me." John 15:4

"And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope.."Romans 5:3-4

"Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him." James 1:12

"And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death." Revelation 12:11

"Then he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel saying, 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts. 'What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of "Grace, grace to it!"'" Zechariah 4:6-7

"My children, rejoice. Heaven awaits the redeemed of the LORD. Little time remains for night soon comes when man can no longer work. Now is the time, now is the hour...share My love with others. Now is the time, now is the hour. Do not hesitate, do not hold back.

Ample time was given My people to turn away from the false and embrace the true. Sadly millions have been deceived for so long they can no longer discern between the two. How grevious will be the days ahead.

Children of The King listen to The Word of the LORD. Do not be deceived by false shepherds, heirlings who long ago abandoned their post to follow the ways of the world. Follow My words for they are life to the hearer bringing peace in the midst of the storms. Prepare My people, prepare for testing that soon comes. Each one must be refined in the refiners fire to become like fine gold. Prepare My people, prepare. Draw closer to Me, wisely use your time to become like My Son. His life is an example of the anointing and power afforded to those who will choose to follow Me. Reach higher, dig deeper, go farther. My anointing will break yokes in your life. Use the power of The Word to defeat the enemy.

Time is short...focus. Follow Me. Do not be distracted. Focus, listen and learn."

"But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." Romans 8:11

"As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." Matthew 3:11

"You shall follow the LORD your God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him." Deuteronomy 13:4

"And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, Philippians 1:9
