We are in a charged climate right now.
I am appalled, personally, at the overreach of the government over constitutional rights, but even saying that makes me a lightening rod.
I mentioned a while back that we really don't have free speech, and that is true. You can do your own research about what you can or cannot say.
My problem is when the speech laws muzzle the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and that (the Gospel) is the most offensive thing ever to the lost and spiritually blinded soul.
Think about it. To even say the Ten Commandments is offensive. To let the law convict a heart is offensive...
You get the picture.
And then there is fear, such a powerful controller. We are ALL subject to it. It has worked for millennia for despots and tyrants. Fear is effective!
It shuts down otherwise reasonable people.
Think about it.
Haven't you seen this happening?
I struggle with it. There is a quiet little voice in the back of my head asking "How will you respond when they come for you?"
I like to read testimonies. I like to read people's stories. I like to hear how they "got through" to the end, sometimes. I like to be encouraged by hearing what God did to help them.
I believe that those who are Christ-followers will be persecuted. They are already, have been since the time of Christ. We are no different, yet we have enjoyed a country, for the past 200 years, that gave us freedom of religion. I know, I know, that era is past. But let's look at the facts: Christianity was practiced freely in the USA for 200 years.
It's over. It's done. It's gone. Yes, that is a fear-inciting thought. We Christians are about to hit the fan.
I had the most wonderful encounter yesterday. I was feeling discouraged by all the fear I was noticing in people, and I cried out to the Lord to touch my heart. He responded spectacularly with a short conversation that just was a balm in Gilead to my heart. WE ARE NOT ALONE!
We are a people of faith, not fear. We are together in this time, this dilemma of pandemic, of FAKE NEWS and treachery.
We have the Christ, the solid rock, under our feet. We are standing in Truth that surpasses any narrative.
And now, for a disclaimer: Prophecy is my personal interest. I know it interests a few of you, too, or you wouldn't be reading my blog!
I talk about and write about things that interest ME, selfishly, and I read information that interests ME. If you don't care for these topics you are welcome to your own interests! For me, this pandemic has given rise to compelling new thoughts and ideas, information that affects all aspects of my life.
I can't help it but be writing, risking, helping anyone who is also interested.
I realize that many are not interested, and very willing to listen to the mainstream narrative. I do think of that as blindness, but that is a choice I must accept. People have free will---until they don't.
Those of you that read my blog regularly have similar interests, but I also know that there are many I come in contact with DAILY that have zero affinity for these topics and prefer to listen to the voice of the world.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. I am not listening to the voice of worldliness. I have a worldview, not a worldly view.
My worldview involves Christ Jesus, and His promises, and His power within my heart.
I am not a Fascist, a communist, a socialist, an atheist, a globalist, a racist.
I am a Christ-follower. Jesus saves. Jesus rose from the grave, bodily, and is preparing a place for us. He's coming again to receive us unto Himself. That's ANYONE who believes on Him
The Bible is true, inspired, inerrant, and powerful. I love it. I've read it through countless times, in different languages. I've researched its authenticity and historicity. I've complete confidence in its message and its power to save.
READ YOUR BIBLE!
I allow that if your head is in the Word of God you will not act in a way that contradicts or subverts Christ. It is the power to save. Even if your head is in the sand politically or socially, if you are in the Word of God, "you're good. "
He who has ears to hear, listen! He who has eyes to see, SEE!
Buckle up, folks.
MARANATHA!!!!!!!
