Rejoice!!!

Is it possible we have been told a lie and yet because it was never questioned we believed it to be the truth? The answer is yes in more places than we ever realize or recognize. No one likes to be lied to, but if we do not ask questions, we will never learn the truth that will set us free. 

When I first got saved in January 1989, the Lord spoke to me two phrases the day I gave my life to Him. I was sitting in the back row of a Lutheran Church youth group in Plymouth, MN. I had bleach blond hair, a black leather jacket on, ripped jeans, and cigarettes in my inside coat pocket. I sat there and watched and listened to people my age singing songs I had never heard before. 

My youth pastor at the time was Grant Hill, he spoke about a relationship with Jesus Christ and then offered us the opportunity to enter into a relationship with this man. He spoke of how to do this and as I sat there, I heard a voice inside of me say two things: 1) I love you; 2) I will never lie to you. This was huge for me, for I had been lied to a lot in my life. 

Numbers 23:19 says, God is not a man that He should lie, nor the son of man that He should repent. I can tell you, walking with God for 37 years, He has never lied to me. So, when I read His word I believe what He says, and it makes me question what people are telling me. 

We have been taught things are getting darker, worst and one day we will be raptured out of here. But what does the Bible say, Matthew 24 says, the one left behind is the same one who was left behind in the days of Noah. Noah, a righteous man was left behind and the wicked were swept away, taken away. 

This theme is throughout the bible, the righteous are left on earth, the wicked are removed. Proverbs 2 says it this way, “For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.” 

I say this today, because we are seeing great rejoicing from people who have been left behind and who have seen this weekend the wicked removed from the earth. When people of the nation where the wicked have been removed from are rejoicing, there is reason to rejoice. The Lord is removing wickedness from earth and establishing righteousness. It is a time to rejoice with those who rejoice. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org

Fog Of War

The fog of war is upon us. Missles are flying, countries are being attacked, leaders are dying, people are celebrating in the streets, flags are flying. When the fog of war is dense our sight is limited. Recognizing we are not seeing clearly it is wise to remain quiet and let those who know more than us speak.

Amir Tsafarti is boots on the ground in Israel, he is a great resource for coverage from the Jezreel Valley and the Sea of Galilee; Robby Dawkins has boots on the ground knowledge from inside Iran; the President of the United States truth social or recorded videos are a good source of information. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is another one to listen to.

When the fog of war is thick misinformation is rampant and we do not want to be echoe’s of things we do not know anything about. It is best for most of us to keep our mouth shut, rather than jump on a political pundits bandwagon and speak about things we are not privy to. I call it staying in your lane.

Now my lane is the word of God and it has not gone past my notice that this fog of war is happening in the week of Purim, a Jewish holiday found in the book of Esther and it is happening in the week much of the world will see a blood moon.

When many things are happening at once, I listen more and speak less. I read by Bible more and let Him speak to me about what He wants me to know and I listen to others that know things I don’t. This morning reading Proverbs 1, it says, “Whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.”

I do not think we have anything to fear, but I do think we will experience some shaking, significant shaking, but it is not surprising for we have been saying, Babylon is falling. When an empire falls, the earth shakes, but there is nothing to fear if we hearken unto the Lord and His word. Shalom my friends. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
