I Press Toward The Mark!

I was reflecting on St.Paul's life and was reading Philippians 3. It always amazes me how fast his transition was after The Lord put him on the ground on the Damascus road. After spending 15 years with Christ and now being hounded himself for Christ's sake, he writes this wonderful letter to the Philippians Christians. My favorite verses are in chapter 3. His love for Christ is so apparent in this chapter.
Paul counts all his worldly possessions as loss and as dung for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus his Lord. He doesn't want his own righteousness, only that which is through the faith in Christ. Verse 10 That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering, being made conformable unto His death. Verse 14 says I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. That means we are to die to ourselves and be as Christ is. We are to get out of the way so The Holy Spirit can work through us to guide others to His Cross and thus find our lives in Him at the same time. This mark is so different than the one the anti-christ will require in our right hands and forhead. For it is the mark in our hearts and minds, bearing the very image of Christ.
We also see in verses 17-21 that we are to mark those who walk contrary to Christ and His Gospel, who are the enemies of His Cross, whose god is their bellies, and whose glory is their shame, who mind earthly things.
There is no more urgent message than to die to ourselves and be conformed to His Image, Romans 8:29. Life can ONLY spring out of crucifixion, there is no resurrection without death, John 12: 24-26 and John 3:30. Beloved, we MUST DIE TO OURSELVES!!!
Through out the entire New Testament there is this theme over and over again. It is a theme so important that He must repeat it. For you see that the flesh of man is so strong and evil that He must make it perfectly clear. He destroyed the earth with a flood because of man's evil ways and soon He will destroy it by fire. We must come to Him, who gave His blood for the remission of sin. His blood is The ONLY Thing that has the power to put an end to our sinful ways.
So at this wonderful season, please remember the reason.

Reflections!

Last November I became ill and had to be hospitalized. They first thought I was having a heart attack, but it soon became apparent that there was nothing wrong with my heart. They still are not sure what happened. I have to go for further test to completely rule out my heart.
While I was in the hospital I had time to refect on people in my life and the way my life was going. I came to the conclusion that things for the most part are well. I also decided to let those I love know just how precious they are to me. Sometimes one needs to refect and take stock of ones life.
We Christians need to be so broken before The Lord that others will see and take note we have been with Christ, just as Moses was on the mount receiving The Ten Commandments. Our faces should show that we have been with Him.
Life is short and we need to spend as much time in His Presences as is humanly possible. We need to be able to tell of His Love to those that are without. We must be kind when others are not, no matter what because we reflect His image. We must Preach The word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and be turned to fables. 11 Timothy 4:2-4
Beloved, we are in that time now. Soon we will be called upon to wittness as never before, that is why we need to be in His Word and know It backward and forward. We will be forced to hide soon, we won't be able to preach His Word.

Come To Christ, Come Today!

The horsemen are riding, can you hear them as they come? Or are you deaf as a post, unconcerned? Do you say, oh this will pass everything will be as it once was? Where is the promise of His coming. 2 Peter 3:4
Do you hear Him laughing as man's time draws to an end.
Do you see the signs He said to look for? Are you filled with hope that He soon will be here?
Where are you oh man in this time of mankind, troubled and oh so blind?
Draw close to His Word and ask for His Grace, never look back as He will erase the shame of your sins from off your face.
Come now let us reason together, learn from Christ, learn from His Word.
Yes He is laughing at sins that have been and now never will be. For He is coming soon to set us all free.
Where are you Adam? Why do you hide? Could it be do to all of your pride?

It is time to look to Christ!!!! The party is over for man kinds sin.

Get into The Word and do it today
Do not put it off or delay
Ask for forgiveness for all of your sins
For soon persecution will begin.
You need to be in The Arms of Christ
For they are The Only Way to everlasting Life!

Freedom!

Today is a day that we give thanks to a generous God who gave of Himself to buy our freedom from sin. Yet many do not understand that concept of freedom from sin. It is the most powerful thing in all the universe, this love that changes our dna, so we can have the remission of sins! The garden was a place of great beauty and filled with freedom of every kind. But when Adam decided he would do things his way, we were in terrible trouble. Through thousands of years mankind lived by the law that could not take our sin from us, it only covered the sin with an offering of blood from some helpless animal.
Think of it, thousands of years before Christ. But when the fullness of time had come, Christ ,born of a little virgin came to stop sin in it's tracks. What an amazing feat, no more the servants of sin!!!!! Free at last free at last. Thank God we are free at last!!! For 2000 years!!!
But , how many have excepted the call of Christ ? For when He calls a man, He bids him come and die? I hope you have, and if not the invitation is there to bend your knee and take up His cause and die to yourself.
So many wonderful things to be grateful for. I hope this Thanksgiving will be your best, filled with His love!

Failing To Heed His Word And Law!

In these coming days of judgement to our nation, I hope there will still be those who will seek The Truth of His Word. Without His Words to led and guide us we are truly lost. His Word is a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105. Starting at verse 97 to 112, is one of my most favorite verses in Scripture. It tells it like it should be. Everyone is to heed The Most Holy of all writings, for it is by these writings we will be judged. Whether you believe or not, you will be judged on these most sacred scriptures. It doesn't matter whether you are a Muslim, Hindu, Christian or Jew or an atheist. For this fact alone, should cause everyone to heed His Words.
I keep recalling The Words of Jesus in Matthew 24:4 Take heed that NO MAN deceive you. also in verse 23-28. There are numerous warnings, all through The Old and New Testaments to keep our souls safe from seducers of His Truth.
These people that are so seduced by Homo sexuality and other perverse sex practices, and abortion have been sent a STRONG DELUSION by God Almighty. So when I see it in that light I am assured He will take care.
Seducers come from all cultures and ethnic groups, different backgrounds and different educations. Many are well meaning, many do it for profit, and many do it for contentiousness shown in Philippians 1:14-18.
God's word will never change. It is written in stone and in the tables of our hearts, those of us who HEED IT! God's word is non-negotiable. Isaiah says it best in chapter 5:20 -24. Verse 24 does it for me, that is enough to make me never want to stray from His Words and His Law. I am a love slave to Him who has bought me with His blood!

Persecution,For A lazy Church!

As time goes on I am still surprised at the lack of seriousness in God's Word. I hear Christians say they do not believe his Word about certain passages of scriptures. They say that it was for a time long ago or that it is not relevant today.Truly, of all things I hear this is the thing that makes me crazy! If I could grab them by their necks and shake them until their teeth rattled, I would, needless to say I'd get sued or put in jail.
But I am angry, and getting angrier by the day. Jesus is angry too. The Holy spirit is grieved at so much complacency by so called Christians.
Persecution is coming in a big way and I am glad. The Lord will show himself in persecution to correct theology of a lazy church. So beware Church, You better look to Christ who is the finisher of your faith. You better fear and tremble at His Word. The Lord shall judge his people .It is a fearful thing to fall into the hand of a living God! Hebrews 10:30-31. It would be good for you to read ALL of Hebrews 10.
I know I repeat the same things, but I am called here to do His bidding and not my own. I feel like John the Baptist, crying in the wilderness, make straight the way of The Lord. His coming is so near.
Fall upon your face before Him and ask His forgiveness of sins. He is so merciful and full of Love. His Love is steadfast and filled with peace and strength. See to it you are not party to evil and if you are I beg you to ask His forgiveness and turn from your wicked ways to The Light that will light your soul with His Holiness.

Redeem The Time For The Days Are Evil!

Well here we are post election. We were promised change by Obama, but not told what that change would be. Many of us know the horors that are about to be unleashed while others stick their heads in the sand and refuse to see what the judgements are that will befall us all.
It is high time for people to get serious with The Lord Jesus Christ and His plan of salvation and our dying to self and this world system.
I will tell you that while so many think they voted for a good man who is black,that they WILL stand in judgement for their vote. God does not take lightly a vote for evil. You WILL NOT be able to claim ignorance. If you are so easily swayed to vote for evil, then you will vote for the number 666. You will be torchered day and night in the presences of the holy angels.
God's only Son was killed for our salvation and for a human not to except His shed blood for our atonment means eternal damnation!!!!! Not to obey His Laws and precepts are totally contrary to His Word!!!
I will not write as often as I have in the passed. I know that darkness is approaching and it will not be safe to wittness or preach The Gospel of Christ!! Persecution is already here in the U. S. It will continually become much worse.
Read The Word and show yourself approved. Wittness while The Light is here.

Yearning For Him!

Where are you Lord, when will you come
To take me from this place?
It is a wretched, wretched place of shameful disgrace.
Oh, the love of Christ , within my bosom beats
The yearning of His broken heart
That makes my life replete
For in the sorrow of His heart
I find His love steadfast
I need to be in such a place
That humbles me at last

Do you yearn for His return? or are you in a place of shame? Do you even know His saving name? If you are without His love you need Him to get through this terrible time that is coming on the earth. The Horsemen are riding and they will not be denied.
The love Christ has for our world and it's people is so overwhelming I do not have words or a vocabulary for it. I fail to try and put His love for us in words. They are not adequate.
These passed three years has brought me to a place of longing I have never known before. As each day dawns this longing grow more and more intense.
One thing I do know, that He is drawing me so close to His side that nothing can harm me. I am hide with Him in God, sheltered in His arms of strength and love. I am safe and secure, at last. All I need is to hear The Trumpet's blast!
Oh I beg you to hear my words, inadequate as they are, come to Christ for His love will keep you safe from harm. His coming is so near, I know that is why He has imprinted on my heart His love for all of us, with this longing for Him to come.

Pray For America and Yourself!

The Lord is The Light of my life; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27: 1 There is no one for us to fear, only God, Himself.
He is our strength, life, redeemer, our all in all.
So what ever comes our way, whether it be evil or good, we shall not be afraid! We will be confident in Him and His judgement to bring good out of evil.
Our founding fathers knew this truth and it is a shame that so little has been taught of that. They knew Christ and God our Father. Their writings are full of Him and His Love and insight. They truly were Godly men brought to these shores to set up a special people to bring His Light to a dark world.
But, sadly that Light is going out and darkness is on it's way. If one reads the many writings of these noble men, they will hear The Voice of Christ and the cry in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of The Lord". John 1:23.
He is on His way here to deliver His saints to Glory! it will be a shame when so many will not make it. But they have had a chance, and in some cases many chances.
As I write this I hear His voice in my ear, The one that cries for the lost souls to come to Him and repent. I hear weeping and groaning inside of my heart for so many.
He has paid it all and all to Him we owe.
I can't remember who said this wonderful quote: Democracy's success is dependant on the quality of it's citizenry. If wise, sober and virtuous it will do well. But if they do not bear these qualities it will fail. I know it was one of the founding fathers, I just don't remember which one.

The Prayers of The Righteous Are Needed!

I am calling this election for John Mac Caine. I do not believe the American people are so stupid as to vote a man in the highest office in our land ,who is a commie. The only way Obama can be elected is to have cheated his way to the top, and or it is The Lord's way of sending judgement to our nation. I still have hope that Christ is not done with us yet.

The L.A. Times refuse to release a tape on Obama where he is attending a party with many Commies ,Bill Ayers and his wife and a professor Khalid. What has amazed me more than anything is how far he has gotten in this race. His back ground should have been checked and rechecked, so as to prevent this calamity from happening.

Make no mistake, this is a battle of evil verses good. What is sad is that evil seems to have been having its way in our nation for some time. The Dems are just that dim. Many people of this new generation are not informed on anything, and certainly not history. They have no clue how we all got this marvelous nation handed to us thru the blood of many. That IS A SIN!!!!

It is every individuals DUTY to know what is happening in the political realm. We should all pray for our nation, she is under attack on ever side and our prayers are most needed by righteous individuals. I say righteous because it is those of our nation, who are righteous, who's prayers avail much with The Almighty that He will hear!

So humble yourself in His sight and ask for forgiveness of your sins and then pray He hears you prayers for our nation.

It is not just our nation that will be effected, but others need us to show THE WAY home. Because of a few evil people in our land our light has become dim. NOW THAT IS VERY SAD!!!!

Greased & On A Downhill Slope!

This world is spiraling out of control, greased and on a downhill slope. One might ask what can we do to stop it. Nothing, except pray. This time period of history has been foretold in Daniel,and Revelation. We have been told time and time again ,do not put your trust in the arm of flesh. That means NO FLESH! Not our president or any government official, no matter how wonderful. Our trust belongs to The One who bought us with His own blood, Christ The Lord.

More and more we see the spirits of evil that is here. Joe the plumber has been attacked and this is just a small insight into what will happen in the near future. We know that Accorn and other groups like them have been undermining the American way of life, along with congress and ceo.'s.

Here is what is next on the time table that has been set before us: we will soon see a one world economy between the E.U. and our Federal Reserve, and then a person will be named to head it up. These R.F.I.D. I talked about on Oct 18th will then be inplanted into those who have sold their souls to satan. Persecution will be running to and fro. Any of this sound familiar?

We need to prepare our minds for the evil that is here. On my first blog , Run Silent Run Deep,I wrote that we are coming to a place when we need to be very careful what we say ,when we say it, and to whom we say it. You may think I am over exagerating things, but if this advice is not heeded, you will suffer the consequences. Christ said we would not know the day or hour when He gets here. So my advice is GET RIGHT with Christ!!!!!!

How Much Do You Love Him ,Let us count the ways!

These passed 2 year have been 2 of the craziest years for subjecting us to political non-sense, evil and down right idiotsy that I can remember. I have so many thoughts on this particular election that my head is swimming. The first of which is praying that we will some how come out of all this turmoil unscaved. The second is please Dear Lord if we need a whipin, don't let it last so long. I never liked gettin a whippin. I always felt so terrible afterward, not to mention my beehine was blinklin off and on in red. LOL!
But to be serious now, I am worried about our choices as never before. Always in the passed we seemed we could get thru 4 years , even if the guy was nuts , we had others handling things and it wouldn't be so bad. But we are about to change into a society that is more conformed to the rest of the world, which is a terrible place to be. One can not help the world when one is like the world. We need to be set apart even more than in the passed. After all , we were created to be that beacon of Light set on a hill to guide others Home!
Each day brings the battle for truth, justice and the American way to a closer defeat with so many enemies and so few Godly men and women to wield The Sword! Tired we are, yet we stand and pray to God, His mighty hand will lead us through to The Promise land.
Oh my friend, I have seen the face of evil. It unmasked seems fine. But when it's off, there will be NO PLACE to run to. Kinda like the Egyptian soldiers caught in the waters of the Red Sea.
A few weeks ago I heard on Fox news, that Obama had voted 4 times, and by the way was THE ONLY DEMOCRAT to vote for not helping a little infant if it survived a botched abortion. If that doesn't give a person a glimpse into the soul of an evil man, I don't know what would. Four times!!!!
The Church will soon suffer persecution on a grand scale. I always loved that scripture in Revelations 7: 13-14 What are these which are arrayed in white robes? These are they which came out of great tribulation, and having washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of The Lamb. Also Revelations 12: 11 And they overcame him by the blood of The Lamb and the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death.

Deep Calling To Deep!

I have been so disturbed as of late. I think I have been taken aback by the true ignorance of those who go to church and those who don't go to church who think they are saved. All one needs to do is engage them in conversation and before you realize what is being said and not said is striking!
I use to think that witnessing to sinners was what was needed in my puny little sphere. But oh no, not so. The battle now rages for those poor delusional mortals who think they are saved and are not. Never in my wildest dream did I think this would be the case that Christ would call me to. But I am glad I see what I see and hear what I hear. I do feel lonly out here but at the same time I am glad He has called me to do something for Him, after all, He has done so much for me.
It's like a disease that no one talks about, because they are ashamed and others shouldn't be told. I think it starts with false teaching ,only He knows where, and then spreads like an incideous virus killing all in it's way.
All ages are caught in it's nets. These I speak of are ones who do not read and study His Words, let alone do what He wishes.They don't even know The One who bought them with His own blood. There is a void where Light should be.
Here are afew questions to ask yourself:

1. Do you study His word , meditate on It ,day and night? Psalm 1; Josuha 1-8; Psalm 119; 1 Peter 2:2; And please don't forget Matthew 5, 6, 7, The Sermon on The Mount!

2. Do I seek His Face in prayer? Matthew 6:6, Psalm 5:3

3. Do I love my neighbor as myself? John 13:34-35, 1 John 4: 7-8

4. Do I witness and tell others about Christ? Mark 16: 15-18

5. Do I give to His work with my resources? Malachi 3:10, Luke 6:38

6. Do you love Him with your whole heart, mind and spirit? Matthew 22: 37-40!

I am calling for all who reads this to go deeper in Him. He needs disciples in these last days to turn to Him for wisdom and knowledge in Him so we can wittness and save those with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Jude 23!

Evil Has Touched Down!

In January of 07, I heard that there are small micro chips being implanted in every object on the planet ,they are Radio frequency identification devices called RFID's. They can be scanned through plastics and fabric. Every object on earth is being scanned and now the next step is people. Yes you heard it here.
There was an article last week , that over 12 million Chinese in a city, I forgot the name of ,have been issued identity cards, which have their whole life on them. It has their place of birth, job ,marital status how many kids they have, any health condition. SCARY!!! Then I Was watching on PBS, the new Masterpiece sereies called, "The Last Enemy". It's all about these RFID's, and that next year the Brittish will have the same type of cards issued to their citizens. But let me tell you that it won't be long that man will say, "Hey people are forgetting their cards and some have lost them and we need to implant them under their skin so they will always have them." Sound familiar????? Like The Book of Revelation???
People need to WAKE UP!!! We Americans need to start each day on our knees before Christ. We need to MAKE the time. I am not kidding, this thing is greased and on a down hill slope!!!
I know that many will poo poo things I say and to that I say ,"OH well! I hope I can draw some to Christ.
Yesterday I was depressed, but after a talk with The Lord I am reinvigorated. Being a watchmen is not easy. People hate what you say, some nights you are up all night, others, especially those of your own family thing you are nuts or at best a little strange. That hurts when your kids refuse to listen, because you are mom and they don't think The Lord would ever tell you anything. After all their own pastor and friends never thinks what Mom thinks. A prophet is not honored in her own house. So what!!!! The prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, the foolish pass on and are punished. Are you prudent or foolish, this is the question you need to ask yourself. Look around at the world and the headline news, EVIL IS HERE IN AMERICA!!! IT IS NOT GOING AWAY!!!! This next election will bring us closer than one thinks to seeing true evil and satan's hideous face.
The Bride must make herself ready for her wedding. The Groom is coming and she must be ready to cry , EVEN SO COME LORD JESUS!!!!!

The Battle Rages!

I really thought I would live out my life on this tired old planet, enjoying the beauty that I have everyday. I live on a beautiful creek with a sweet little home and dock that goes 350 feet out. I go out there many days when the sun is shinning and sit and read or pray. I am usually a happy soul but lately I am very sad. I see things in the future that give me little hope for mankind. I hear the horsemen's hooves as they pound upon the hollowness of ground ,and I am sad!
Many days I cry and just can't seem to be that happy as I have always been. I am glad I have tears to lubricate my eyes, for my heart is breaking inside. America has lost her way and I am sad! She forgot The Lord along the way, too busy she would say. But now it's caught up to her and her eyes are blurred. Sad ,so sad.
I wished I could just do something besides pray, but then I remember that the prayers of a righteous man avails much. MY hope is in The Lord Jesus Christ. I must keep praying and not give up. But I am so afraid it is all too late.
Evil men and women have taken America where she ought not to be. I am sad! Even so called Christians are not dying and dead to the subtleties of sin.
Today The Supreme court has ruled in favor of Ohio, with all those votes that are illegal. I had such furry that came up in my face I thought I would explode. Now the anger has turned to sadness, as if a loved one died.
Did we deserve this? I am thinking yes. We turned our backs on Christ, decency, and dying to our selves, subtituting it for wealth and prosperity. And then there are those things that are government has done in secret that we would all be ashamed of. St Peter and Jude and James and John warned us would happen if we did not follow Him.
So now the flash points of judgement have passed and full judgement is here. We must take the medicine and fall on our faces before Him and die!!!!!
Many of our churches and pastors have let us down. They forgot the true meaning of what it is to be saved. We were bought with the price of His blood and are His servants, He is not ours. We are to be owned by Him, doing His bidding!

The Battle rages for America's soul
For evil men want full control

The battle ground is littered with dead
The blood of millions that is Faithful RED!

So pray for her in this time of need
That Christ will come and take the lead!

The Gap In The Fence!

Do you ever wonder about how The Lord leads his children? This morning I was wondering what the title would be for this blog. Then out fell a little book I bought at a consignment shop a few weeks ago. Yep, you guessed it, The Gap In The Fence. Copyrighted in 1898!
The gap I wish to speak about is our fallen nature. I hear a lot of well meaning people speak how Christians fall from grace into hideous sins and yet somehow they are still considered Christians. Then I have heard the question posed, will there be those nasty people who do evil and still considered to be Christians, be in heaven?
The truth always has a mysterious way of coming out , like skimming the dross from the gold. The refining technique that often amazes me.
Man was created to worship God. But when Adam decided he no longer wished to do things God's way he rebelled. And through the ages , Adam has devised many techniques to deceive those of us that are not experienced enough in Christ and His Word, one of which is the doctrine, once saved always saved. So I think this is where so many get off track. Every doctrine needs to be analyzed through The Word itself. It is true if we do sin ,we can be forgiven when repentant and back in our own mind. But I am talking about habitually practicing sin or sins on a regular bases. I believe this is one of the false beliefs in the end time, that will take many unaware.
A.W. Tozer said,"All unannounced, and mostly undetected, there has come in modern times a new cross into popular evangelical circles. The new cross does not slay the sinner, it redirects him. It gears him into a cleaner and jollier way of living and saves his self-respect.
So subtle is self that scarcely anyone is conscience of it's presence. Because man is born a rebel, he is unaware that he is one.
Our uncrucified flesh will rob us of purity of heart, Christ-likeness of character, spiritual insight, fruitfullness: and more than all , it will hide from us the vision of God's face".
St. Paul says it best in Romans 8:1-39. This perception of flesh being in heaven at best is total nonsence and worse is a false teaching.
So I am always thankful that it is He who is in control and knows the ways of our hearts and is The best judge and gate keeper to the portal of heaven. The gaps are wide in the fence today, allowing many to pass unchecked. And shame on any pastor or priest that would allow these teachings in their church.

Why We're Being Judged!

America the beautiful has lost her way
Forgetting the price God's Son had to pay
Appeasing the world with our Holy souls
We are judged daily for our sinful goals
Come Lord Jesus cause us to repent
Keeping our souls from being so bent.

Sometimes it is a hard thing to tell someone they are wrong about something. Many of us will shy away from speaking the truth, even in love. We do not want to trouble the waters and find out what they may think about us. But there is a time to speak and a time to keep silent. There is a time to take a stand and tell it like it is. It isn't easy, but it must be done.
As a little girl, I was always shy. I would never enter into a discussion even when asked my opinion about something. Then one day when I was 30, The Lord touched me and I was forever changed. From that time til this I speak my mind, always praying for His words to come out my mouth.
These recent weeks we have seen the betrayal of our own government, and the extent of greed that man will go to to keep the cash cow alive. Many of these men were once touted as Christian men. But somewhere along the way they stumbled and fell taking many of the world's economies with them. The people were tainted by greed and many other sins, setting us all up for a very big fall.
The worse thing about all of this is that even preachers are involved. They preached peace and prosperity and forgot to call the sinners to a true repentance being washed in the shed blood of Christ. Wealth is where it's at. Then there are those seeking a sign, never able to be satisfied with the sign of Jonas, Jesus says. Which as you may remember was the death, burial and Resurrection of Christ.
No wonder judgement had to fall. They now are saying it won't be long before we can return to our prosperity and the markets will be righted ect. ect. We will see. This may just be the start of the last days or maybe the end of the last days, but what ever it is, The Lord is calling to those of us to quit the foolishness and repent, for The Lord is at hand.

Preparing For The Future!

As Christians, we all need to draw ever closer to The One who has saved us. We need anew awakening to what is The Infilling of The Holy Ghost. A rivival needs to take place in our heart, if that longing is not there, then pray God He will send it.We need to die daily to our flesh and the mind that has fallen from grace. We need to become worshipers!
In these last days we do not know what will be required of us and our reaction to the evil that will surely come. But we can be prepared by The Holy Ghost, if we listen To Him and do exactly as He says. If The Lord tarries for a time we will need to be mature Christians, who when struck on the cheek can turn the other. We need to have the Sermon on The Mount engraved on our hearts and minds.
This morning I was reading Matthew 25, the story about the ten virgins. It became very clear to me the importance of The Oil. Maybe you remember the story where five had oil and five did not, and The Bride Groom came and took those five that had oil and left the five who did not. The five left said to The Lord open to us, but His reply was," Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein The Son of man cometh."
The word foolish here , literally means blockhead, dull ,stupid and heedless. I am sure we all could name people in our families and among friends that fit that description.
So the moral of that story is not to be foolish as to go about life without The Holy Ghost.

Run Silent,Run Deep!

Years ago there was a movie with Burt Lancaster called, Run Silent, Run deep. It was about a submarine during WWII that was being chased by enemy subs ,and in order for them not to be detected they had to maintain silence and go deep. A very good movie. We are coming to a place in human history that we will, at some point , run silent, run deep.
In case you haven't noticed, the world as we once knew it, has become very volatile and uncertain. Christians through out the centuries have had to go underground to escape persecution and death. Many did not make it. Man's inhumanity to man is on the march once again. It appears unstoppable at this point in time.
I have warned for three years that the horsemen of judgement are here. Many of you have read my journals on AOL and are familiar with my writings. I wake up most mornings at 4:30am, unable to return to the peaceful rest I had. I figure there will not be enough time in my day to get to my Bible reading, praying, cleaning, quilting, making meals, painting, and gardening done if I lay around in bed.
I recently received an e-mail from AOL saying they were discontinuing the journals and would switch me to blog spot, so here I am.
I woke up this morning with hiding in The Cleft of The Rock, running through my mind. I think The Lord is starting to signal to me and others that time is running out to witness. We must be very careful in the future to speak ONLY when and what He would have us speak. I always knew this time would come , but I had hoped it would be way into the future. We must be vigilant in prayer and Bible study, always listening for HIS voice of instruction. So many are going to and fro and have no time to hear His voice. I beg you to listen and go deep into His Word and prayer so you will not miss an opportunity to hear His instructions.
Many are hurting and don't know where to turn for comfort and security. Our government has failed "We the People". Now we need His Peace that passes human understanding to go thru what ever comes to this tired old world of sin and shame. The Horsemen of judgement are here and they will not be kind and forgiving, they are here to complete the tasks of judgements for our failing to do His bidding and keep ourselves pure and holy!

Oh, such Grace that bought my soul
It's the only thing that can make one whole
Come Sweet Prince, take me away
Please ,oh please ,do not delay
For soon there"ll be a growing dirth
Through out this land, upon this earth
I'll keep my eyes upon your face
Not looking back as you erase
The sin and shame of man's disgrace!
