From a friend named Hope:

We a living in a world full of zombies that have been trained to obey the system. They are arguing over politics & race, but not focused on real issues.

Their identity is wrapped up in consumerism, trash television, media & junk food. They are all sedated with their daily fixes. Their lives are in such toxic state and are so lost and brainwashed that they have become living dead!

But God says:

Leviticus 11:44
'For I am the LORD your God Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. And you shall not make yourselves unclean with any of the swarming things that swarm on the earth.

Leviticus 11:45
'For I am the LORD who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God; thus you shall be holy, for I am holy.'"

Leviticus 19:2
"Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, 'You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.

Leviticus 20:26
'Thus you are to be holy to Me, for I the LORD am holy; and I have set you apart from the peoples to be Mine.

1 Peter 1:16
because it is written, "YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY."

Leviticus 20:7
'You shall consecrate yourselves therefore and be holy, for I am the LORD your God.

1 Peter 1:15

but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior;

Leviticus 21:8

'You shall consecrate him, therefore, for he offers the food of your God; he shall be holy to you; for I the LORD, who sanctifies you, am holy.

Deuteronomy 23:14
"Since the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp to deliver you and to defeat your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy; and He must not see anything indecent among you or He will turn away from you.

STUPID, Stupid Minnesota

OH, dear Minnesota, what a lovely place you are! Your lakes and trees, your farmlands and forests, your rocks and wildlife----so beautiful.

I extol your geographical virtues at Rockford whenever I get the chance! Unique state, lovely state, land I've grown up in! Land my ancestors found a home in.

They sailed from Sweden in the the 1880's, took the train to Minneapolis, sailed up the Mississippi river to the Crow, sailed up the Crow River to Delano and disembarked. I live just a few miles to the east of where they stepped foot on their new homeland.  I taught school at Delano when I first became a teacher.

I have a stake in this land, but thankfully my citizenship is in heaven. The people of THIS state seem to have lost their collective minds.

Last night we had a blue sweep, per usual, in Minnesota.

The people elected a Muslim extremest over a clear-eyed attorney for attorney general. The other races, Amy Klobechar, Tina Smith, the young Muslim who has committed incest-----all to represent our state in various offices also were elected.

But this attorney general race really sits in my craw today, and I am grieved. How could the people of Minnesota be SO STUPID?

Keith Ellison is a friend of Louis Farrakhan. Louis Farrakhan JUST THIS WEEK declared DEATH TO ISRAEL, DEATH TO AMERICA! Keith Ellison ran for Attorney General so he could implement Sharia Law in our state. There are already laws on the books of this state that are sharia----laws concerning real estate.

We have a huge Somalian population in our cities, and they are Muslim.

Keith Ellison battered and assaulted his partner. There are 911 calls that have been disclosed. He is a womanizer, an evil man! Sharia Law is anti-homosexual!

And the "good" people of Minnesota elected this person. I am appalled.

I guess I'm not surprised.

I know that Minnesota is "classically" liberal, but for liberals to elect such extremism is absolutely unacceptable.

I will write this, say this, and help someone's eyes to open to this today, but I WILL CONTINUE to live CHRIST until the day I die, God help me.

I just grieve. This state has elected Jesse Ventura, Mark Dayton, Keith Ellison, Al Franken, ----SUCH A HALL OF SHAME!

It's a pity. It's also a pity, because the two main cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul go blue, and the rest of the state is RED. Even the classically blue iron range (unions!) has turned pink. It is the leftist loonies of the cities that decide for the rest of the beautiful land.

So sad.

I KNOW GOD IS IN CONTROL, and as I thought last night, when we believers are snatched away the rest of the world is still going to need to be governed. Hence the results of this election...

Lord, help us shine YOUR TRUTH in the DARK WORLD that hates Israel, babies, and the Bible.

We WILL cling to your Word. We WILL live lives that point to your salvation. We will LOVE our enemies! We WILL stand for truth.

Remember, friends: Satan has been in charge for a very long time. This is his kingdom, and he is as well aware of the prophecies in Scripture as anyone. He is winning with the human race. This is a spiritual battle above all, and he has brainwashed MOST of the world away from Truth.

Jesus IS the only way to eternal life. The Bible IS the only word of God. It is the only thing we have to base our faith on, our philosophy, our worldview. When you compromise truth you easily fall away.

Take a moment and research some of the deception in our world today:
"The Creature From Jekyll Island"
"Mind Control"
Saul Alinsky
The Society of Jesus (this is anything but what its name implies)
Charles Darwin, "The Origin of the Species, or The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle For Life"
The Rothschilds, or the RED SHIELDS


So today, I grieve.
I'm not hopeless, because my hope is based entirely on JESUS CHRIST. I AM sorry for the blindness that is all around me. I'm sorry for friends and family that sit in front of the television and let their brains be washed by a Luciferian- complicit media.  There are off-truths, half-truths, and fake news that fill their minds DAILY. Their mental diet is saturated with Darwinism, elitism, and Satanism.

It's true, and if your spirit is open to the HOLY SPIRIT you will recognize the truth.


Come away, my beloved. 

Nov 6, 2018

Elections are polarizing, and we saw that especially after Trump's election. When the world goes a different path from our own we should be encouraged to SPEAK truth more forcefully, encourage our fellow worldviewers, and live more transparently than ever before. I lost several interweb "friends" over politics, and I expect to lose many more as we see these times change. The Bible predicts mayhem and darkness, so today I encourage you to root yourselves in God's truth and SHINE YOUR LIGHT.
Get off of the brainwashing of the mainstream media! Have the courage to TURN OFF the TV!!!!

Neither Side is Willing to Give

It's quite the election coming up. I think it will be a "Red Wave," but I've been wrong before.

I don't predict well, but I do feel strongly about various issues, and that is how most of us outspoken folk feel.

It takes an earthquake to change our views.

I don't see many of my ilk or the opposing side much different. We hold our views tightly and we are not easily convinced to sway from them.

That is why one of my previous posts about transformation is so linked to this one. It literally takes a transformation to change these days.

We are entrenched in our views.

Are we right? Are we lost? Where do we fall? Where do we end up?

I've had people say to me, "Why do you express views that don't agree with others?"---in so many words...

There are people that, I'm convinced, God has appointed to EXHORT.

No one has to listen, no one has to be convinced, but God just puts thoughts and ideas and words in some people, and they come out.

We have free speech, sort of, at least for now.

There is a real command from Christ, too, in the Bible, and that is to preach the Gospel, the good news!

There are infinite ways to preach the Gospel. There are ways to defend it, positions that agree with God's ways, "arguments" that plant seeds in peoples' souls.

The battle is spiritual, ultimately, and no one can change anyone's mind without a spiritual turnover.

When you have a portion of the population that simply denies anything spiritual you have a real issue. How do you reach that segment?

Prayer. Display a life that is transformed. DO WHAT IS RIGHT!

Perhaps their spiritual eyes will crack open, the seeds of truth will be planted, and transformation will happen!

It is monumental for some, a process for others.

Every single human being is born in sin, spiritually dead. There is only one way that you can become spiritually born again, and that is through Jesus Christ.

He is the way, the truth, and the life.


When you get over your human pride and submit to His way, life changes. You are filled with love for everyone, seeing people as the images of God that they are.

You have respect for God's laws, for His commands. You are transformed.

I pray this transformation for every single person I know.

Because it is the truth, I know that those who do not know Christ are spinning their wheels in an effort to make sense of existence. Millions have died spinning fruitlessly, caught in the lie that the devil has woven like a spider web.

Don't deny the truth any longer! Come to the living water, the One who saves, the Reason for being, the Creator. Jesus is love. God is love. Submit to HIM.

Why persist in the lie? It's time to give in to Jesus.

Transformation

My head is often more tied up in the spiritual than it is in the natural.

That's probably obvious. I'm the classic "no earthly good" type.

I busy myself with the every day stuff, teaching, cleaning, "projects," (that's knitting, my Runestone book, books I need to read, stuff that needs attention around the house...)

But my head is thinking about people and Jesus. As a prophecy nut I am well aware of the trends in society. I'm watching. I am at peace about the future. I do watch the news with interest, and I see people's opinions everywhere, especially on social media.

I have a Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Wattpad, Tumbler, Allo....accounts that I check more or less frequently, and other social media that I check maybe once a month...

Although a classic introvert, I care about people. This post isn't about me, but I have to establish my sources! There is nothing that I care more about than people coming to a relationship with Jesus Christ.

It drives me.

It has, for decades.

My mom prayed for one of her children to go into ministry. Though I would not consider myself a professional I am certainly driven by ministry. I think that my two brothers are believers and they try to minister in their own ways too. Mom's prayer answered.

You've often heard the phrase, "God has no grandchildren."  Isn't that the truth? Each one of your children must come to Christ on his or her own.

And there WILL be evidence that that has occurred. It's called transformation.


Those of us that have experienced the transforming power of the Holy Spirit find it easy to recognize in others.

Recently I had a good conversation with my father-in-law about this. How do you find a pastor? How do you pick deep friends? How do you discern your children's spiritual state?

He boils it down to "transformation," and I completely agree with him.

Anyone can say they are a Christian. It practically has no meaning anymore. This week there was a story going around about Christian Wiccans.

That's an oxymoron, an impossibility, but who can blame them? There is Christian Hinduism (yoga), Christian Homosexuality, Christian Abortion, Christian New Age, Christian Paganism....

I'm sorry, slapping the name Christian on something doesn't do it for me anymore.

There MUST BE SOMETHING MORE!

I think it is transformation. I am no judge of anyone's heart. I cannot see the musing and pleas of a spirit to find peace in Christ, but I CAN observe transformative power in a life, and I CAN see change. I can have instant rapport with transformed Believers.

Satan is a liar, and the father of lies. He can deceive me and anyone into believing whatever he wants us to believe UNLESS we are grounded in Scriptural truths and know Christ's commands. This is holy power.

I will not judge others who do not profess Christ, but for those who DO profess Christ I can certainly discern their spiritual state.

We are all at different stages of spiritual growth. I believed certain things as a young woman that I no longer believe. I was a believer then, but I've grown. I've matured. I like strong meat now, not pablum.

I have transformed.

What are the fruits of the Spirit? Do a little study today and learn them. That is a mark of transformation.

What about sin? We all have a sin nature which we must continually battle. The Bible says it is dead in Christ. Why does sin pop up again and again?

We are in the world, dearly beloved!

We have the spiritual power to defeat sin IN OUR LIVES on a daily basis. That's a mark of transformation! Repentance and defeat of sin!

I remember a Christian leader I admired displaying a undesirable side one time. I was privately shocked. It wasn't my affair, but the behavior was done in my presence. I was educated on the sinful side of believers, and their fallibility. I have no idea if he repented. I didn't stick around to see, but I assume that he did clear that up with God. I don't have contact with him anymore.

I hope so.

One thing I look for in those I love and care for is transformation. I care about my children following Christ.

I want to see sobriety, truthfulness, kindness, mercy, humility, clean living, freedom from addiction, clean speech (DO NOT TAKE THE LORD YOUR GOD'S NAME IN VAIN-HE WILL NOT HOLD YOU GUILTLESS!), love for Jesus, love for the Bible, love for hospitality, love for others, forgiveness, peace, sexual purity, understanding, wisdom, discernment, concern for eternal souls, a testimony that reviles evil.

That is transformation, my definition. Am I on the right trail, here? Can you agree? Can I get an "amen?"  Jesus saves. There is a mark that is upon his own dear ones.

Do you show that mark?

That transformation?


Lord, may I show that mark DAILY.  May those I love be transformed.
May I continually seek your forgiveness for my sin, and rely on your power to overcome it.

That is my daily prayer. If you have not been transformed please cry out to God. He's happy to answer. He WILL answer.

Young people, your time is short. Only Jesus satisfies. Choose that transformation. Listen to your elders! We love you, we want the best for you.

Follow Jesus.

Parents, Grandparents, PREACH the Gospel to your children. You can do nothing but preach, pray, and model Christ. If they don't know they are lost they have no idea they need to be saved. Talk to them about sin. Talk to them about spiritual blindness. Talk to them about a transformed life. TALK TO THEM!

I try to show eternal kindness and love by showing them the path to eternal joy. It's not about this life!!!! It's not about them or us! It's about glorifying God and obeying Him.

We can't change anyone. We must obey the LORD and preach truth to everyone. Our own offspring are our primary responsibility. Have you preached Christ to that young life? Have you seen transformation?

Get on it!
