It is coming too fast.
Something is horribly wrong; in our world, in our country, our neighborhoods, our families. Flip on the news, surf the net and the face of evil glares back at you. What has befallen this earth and her people? America the beautiful has now become America the battlefield. The Middle East teeters on a very unstable foundation.
Those with eyes to see and ears to hear understand what is coming. Knowing that God will not be mocked, we grieve, we weep, we howl for the miseries that are coming upon us.
Ezekiel was commanded to eat the scroll. He was told it (I believe "it" to be The Word of God) would be sweet but would quickly become bitter. Why would The Word be sweet, only to become bitter?
Hebrews tells us: "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
John too was commanded to eat the scroll (Revelation 10). And like Ezekiel, it would be sweet in his mouth, only to become bitter. Both of these strong, mighty men of faith were commissioned by God to prophesy to proclaim The Word of The LORD to their generation. And so too have we.!.
To declare the Truth is also our commission from God. It will not be easy, nor will it be well received, but tell it we must. Tribulation awaits His people and His world. Rejoice that you will be worthy to be called His follower.
Pray and proclaim His Truth. His Words are sweet with bitter consequences. John saw it and rejoiced. Ezekiel saw it and rejoiced.
We too must see it, share it and rejoice!!

And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. – KJV – Ezekiel 9:4
Don't pass this off as only pertaining to Israel. Is there a mark on your forehead???

CHICAGO (AP) — On a very memorable Sunday, Pastor Laura Truax surprised her congregation with a bold announcement: She was about to hand out money to everyone.
Not a huge sum, but the pastor said the LaSalle Street Church had received a tidy $1.6 million from a real estate deal, and $160,000 — a typical 10 percent tithe — would be divided among some 320 regular attendees. Each would get a $500 check to do something positive for anything or anyone, including themselves.
A female pastor??? 10 percent TITHE? Doing something positive, for ANYONE, including themselves? Forget missions. Forget the homeless, the widows, the orphans. Do something positive, for ME! (SRN)
Such a sad commentary for one calling itself the body of Christ.

Watching the erosion of America' church it is evident...
The church has not been taught truth. Pastors have preached, Sunday school teacher have taught a feel good, name it and claim it, seeker friendly - your best life now message, but they have not taught truth.
Gentle Jesus, meek and mild..... What a friend we have in Jesus...
A steady diet of milk not meat has created a feeble, frail and powerless body. A body unprepared for the future that awaits America.
"...but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name. For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? AND IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAVED, WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE GODLESS MAN AND THE SINNER?…" 1 Peter 4
Judgment is not coming to America - JUDGMENT IS ALREADY HERE.!!. Yet, the church is disengaged, unprepared and sleeping soundly.
Daniel and the three Hebrew children were taken captive. Kingdom after kingdom were taken over by the enemies of God, prophets, priests and kings, the righteous as well as the unrighteous were taken captive.
"Jesus passed through the university of suffering and there obtained the certificate of perfect obedience. And NOW He has become a Professor in the same university to teach obedience to all 'who are willing to enroll'. As Hebrews 5 teaches, there is no compulsion here, as there was under the old covenant, with its "Thou shalt Not..." Now the Spirit and the bride say, "Come, join this university." No one can be a disciple who does not join this university... for this is the only place where disciples are trained. Jesus is far more interested in saving us from evil than in saving us from tribulation. He permits us to go through tribulation because He knows that is the only way we become spiritually strong. Such a message is strange teaching indeed to a comfort-loving Christendom that has been coddled Sunday after Sunday for years. Coddled with ear-tickling sermons by pansy pastors. But this is the message that the apostles preached to the early churches.
Paul Barnabas, Peter, James...strengthened the souls of those in the early church, encouraging them to continue in the faith, saying; "Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God" Acts 14:22 [ Zac Poonen, Christian Fellowship Church]
It is my earnest prayer that the church will arise from its slumber, engage in the battle, study to show themselves approved of God, stop swallowing and following every wind of doctrine and stand on The Truth of The Word of God.
"...and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins…" Hebrews 10

"While Christians can coherently decry the brutal murder of men like Peter Kassig at the hands of the Islamic State, are our murders and dismemberments of thousands of innocent American children each and every day somehow less horrific because we (usually) don’t video record the assault?
Are our murders and dismemberments of thousands of innocent American children each and every day somehow less evil because they are done in the name of American freedom and liberty?
The Star Spangled Banner may flutter in the breeze above us and we may go on and on singing about the “land of the free” in which we imagine ourselves to live, but we will be a people crushed under the judgment of God, having nothing left of true freedom, peace, prosperity, and joy…until and unless we finally repent and believe."
