As 2017 is drawing to a close let us give prayerful reflection of all that the year brought. The good, the bad, the ugly. As 2018 enters it brings with it the possibility of a better tomorrow than yesterday.

May you and those you love find strength in our LORD to face the uncertain days ahead undaunted in faith, undaunted in your commitment to stand up for The Truth and steadfast in your love for our LORD. 

Be blessed abundantly in 2018.

Until then...

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6

"See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ." Colossians 2:8

"Return faithless ones - return to The One who loves you. But you say No; we will not return. The ways of the world are pleasurable to us. We will not return.

The LORD would say...you have blind eyes and deaf ears, hard hearts and stiff necks. You are children of the world masquerading as christians; foot loose and fancy free. You have danced with the devil but a day of reckoning will come. Man makes his plans but God orders his steps. All plans are futile that do not consider My Son, the cross and the resurrection. Man plans yet there is much man does not know, and even more he refuses to learn.

The sins of this nation have destroyed her goodness. All that remains is a shallow shell of a nation who prostituted herself to the highest bidder; a nation that has no shame for her behavior and who will soon reap what she has sown. A nation whose 'christians' have allowed the stench of sin to consume the nation without sounding an alarm or standing in opposition against the prevailing winds of evil."

"They come to you as people come, and sit before you as My people and hear your words, but they do not do them, for they do the lustful desires expressed by their mouth, and their heart goes after their gain. Behold, you are to them like a sensual song by one who has a beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument; for they hear your words but they do not practice them." Ezekiel 33:31-32

"Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it may go well with you. But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went backward and not forward." Jeremiah 7:23-24

"Therefore say to them, 'This is the nation that has not obeyed the LORD its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips." Jeremiah 7:28

Written with much help from Holy Spirit, DECEMBER, 2010...sadly little has changed.

Emails filled with Santa Claus and reindeer serve to remind me that far too many have forgotten the true meaning of this Holy Season and care little about the greatest gift ever given to mankind.

I am saddened to receive emails asking me to watch a video with Steve Martin singing the Atheist Hymnal, “sad but funny” was the comment. Tears fill my eyes when receiving an email depicting how an email from Mary to Joseph might have read, with the comment, "I loved this." These I will not open, these I will not read, these I will not share with others.

Don’t share with me your enjoyment of the Harry Potter movies with comments: “who thinks satan wears glasses - hahaha” Don’t tell me you went to see Avatar or the latest Narnia movie and saw no harm. Don’t tell me you were so blessed as you read The Shack and that you love the Twilight movies.

My heart is grieved by all that I see and hear. Tell me, how do these songs, these movies and books glorify our Beloved L-RD and Saviour? Tell me, how do these things bring the lost among us, even within our own families, closer to the Truth of Jesus Christ? How does Santa Claus bring us to our knees in gratitude to the One Who has given us life? How does it give us courage to share our Great Salvation with others?

The Word of G-D speaks clearly: “What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people. Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." 2 Corinthians 6:16-17
Hidden deep within each email is the word - NO, I will not follow Your Word, I will not walk that narrow path - NO, I have chosen the way of the world. Just as in the days of Jeremiah the voice of the watchman is ignored, His people stand in arrogant defiance:   “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ I appointed watchmen over you and said, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But you said, ‘We will not listen.’ Jeremiah 6

Look around, see all that is happening. Santa Claus. Atheist Hymnals and Twilight movies will not equip you to stand up for HIM when you are called to do so.

“To whom can I speak and give warning? Who will listen to Me? Their ears are closed so they cannot hear. The word of the L-RD is offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it. I have listened attentively, but they do not say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Each pursues his own course like a horse charging into battle. Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift and the thrush observe the time of their migration. But my people do not know the requirements of the L-RD. The harvest is past, the summer has ended, and we are not saved.” Jeremiah 8

"You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears...." Acts 7:51

" I hàve come that they might have life and have it more abundantly...yet millions continue to accept the ways of the world rather than acknowledge My Son as King of kings and LORD of lords that they may have life eternal. You can pray, you can proclaim, but do you believe?  Do you believe I AM that I AM or have you created a god that fits into your traditions and agendas? My Word speaks clearly yet the majority do not listen. My Truth cries out but no one notices. My people perish for lack of knowledge. What must happen before man will acknowledge the goodness of his God? What must happen?

Whoever will I say come. Come and be filled with My grace, mercy and love. Great days of wrath...tribulation are coming upon mankind. My judgments await no man and none will escape for all will stand before Me...the rich, the poor, the proud, the profane all will stand before the King of heaven and earth. Your eyes see dimly My children; many see not at all. Each day brings another test of your faith helping you to grow to become mature in your faith. It's past time for childlike faith, now is the time for mature faith. Do not be as children in your faith, have a warrior like faith that will sustain in days ahead.

2018 will be a year of change. Much that happens will be heartbreaking yet man' arrogance and disobedience will continue unchecked and unabated.

Why will man not see the goodness of God? Why will man not see?"

Following is the verse I was given by Holy Spirit:    "To whom shall I speak and give warning that they may hear? Behold, their ears are closed and they cannot listen. Behold, the word of the LORD has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it." Jeremiah 6:10

Please prayerfully read and study the Book of Jeremiah; praying the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth. Since our holy God judged His chosen ones...what must He do with others?

"They will be divided father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law." Luke 12:53

"America is in the cross hairs of the judgment of Almighty God. Just as are all nations who rebel against the Holy One of Israel.

How dare you expect blessings as you shun, shame and rebuke the Son of God. America laments but she does not change. She laments for herself not for her Savior. I AM will have none of her sorrow without repentance. Man looks on the outside...I look on the heart and the heart of America is black and soaked in sin. Blood fills her streets yet none repent for the shame of their actions.

The dividing is coming. Mother against daughter, father against son...for those who will take a stand for truth a dividing is coming."

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

"He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit," Titus 3:5

"Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation." Isaiah 12:2

"My people have become lost sheep; Their shepherds have led them astray. They have made them turn aside on the mountains; They have gone along from mountain to hill And have forgotten their resting place." Jeremiah 50:6

"i have come for fallen man, yet he cares nothing for My gift of eternal salvation.  Man does not recognize his own sinfulness, his disobedience, his rebellion. The laws of God are for the good of man, to protect, to guide yet man sees My law as tiresome, restrictive and archaic. Man sees as he chooses and lives the life that pleases him.  Soon all will be shaken that man will once again see and believe. Believe before it is too late to believe...believe. Man does not understand the frailty of his life.

Oh that man would see Me as I AM; but because he doesn't he suffers greatly and places the blame for his troubles on a God he does not know. Man will come, man will turn, man will acknowledge Me as LORD of all...but will it be too late?"

"But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ..." Philippians 3:7-8

"Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith." Galatians 3:24

"Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin." Romans 3:19-20

"For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." Romans 8:3-4

POTUS Donald J. Trump has taken a bold step, doing what others before promised but did not deliver, and has recognized  Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Let us also be bold in our prayers for the USA, the POTUS and for Israel. As the blood-bought redeemed of The LORD, let us join in praying that Israel will recognize her Messiah; Yeshua  HaMachiach.

Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim.!!!!!!!
