God Is Speaking In These Perilous Days By His Son

God is Love yet He is also a God of wrath!

It is important to know that “GOD IS LOVE” and God is also patient.  But it is just as important to know that God is also a God of wrath.  He has given us His Word by which we can better understand who He is.   His Word effectively teaches us who we are in Him or who we can become. God’s Word is our necessary essential spiritual food for our mind, body and souls.

There is much going on in the world. today. God’s Word is being fulfilled right in front of our eyes. In His Word we can discover a wealth of spiritual wisdom. It is through His ever lasting wisdom we are able develop healthy boundaries. Learn to stand upon the Word of God. For this world is on a “Slippery Slope.” As believers we must spend time daily in God’s Word. For by His Word we are also able to better grow in His grace, peace and understanding. But we must embrace and implement His godly principles.

Know your Potential in God Your Heavenly Father

Each day we should strive for the perfection that is only attainable in God. For in the Lord we can be or become complete. As believers He bestowed upon us His precious Holy Spirit to lead us to all TRUTH! You can be or become secure in God. Everything we need we can discover in Him. He is never far from any of us. His Word speaks volumes about becoming perfect in Him which is quite often overlooked or misconstrued. God says;

“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5

God’s Word is a message to His Church and to the world.

“… ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAT THE MAN/W0MAN OF GOD MAY BE PERFECT, THOROUGHLY FURNISHED UNTO ALL GOOD WORKS.’’ II TIMOTHY 3

There are countless examples within the Word to help us to grow and mature spiritually.  In Jonah, Nahum and Jeremiah we are given several wonderful examples. Here we can see how the people lived when good kings ruled and when bad kings ruled.  What happened when they obeyed GOD and when they disobeyed as well as the consequences.

God is Love yet He is also a God of wrath!

God spoke to His people for many years through His many prophets, prophetess, elders and priests all throughout the Old Testament. They repeatedly tried to warn the people of what was to come.

Yet, it was eventually only Christ Jesus who was the only one that was able to fully atone for all the sins of the world.

Many of the messages were not usually readily received. Today they would also be considered to be very negative. God’s Messages even when they were not what the poeple wanted to hear were always out of His Love and concern for their well-being. Make sure whatever you are doing that it is in the Will of GOD. Remember we are to be both “Salt & Light.”

THE PROPHET JONAH’S SECOND COMMISSION

Nineveh was the prospering, luxurious capital city of the Assyrian Empire. The people of Nineveh had turned their back on God. Jonah was sent by God to warn Nineveh of what was to come. The first time Jonah disobeyed and instead he fled to Tarshish. God is Love yet He is also a God of wrath! Well, during a fierce storm Jonah was thrown overboard off the ship. Jonah knew that the storm was because of him. He actually told the mariners to throw him overboard. “And he said to them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea, so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know for my sake this great temptest is upon you…” Jonah 1

The mariners tried to keep steering the ship anyway but the storm was too fierce. They even cried out to the Lord and pleaded with Him to no avail… So the mariners had to eventually toss Jonah overboard. Well, when they did the sea stopped raging. God is Love yet He is also a God of wrath! Jonah was then swallowed up by a humongous big fish. This big fish had actually been prepared beforehand by God himself to transport Jonah. He vehemently prayed to the LORD while inside the fish. After three days and three nights inside the belly of this fish, it amazingly spat Jonah out miraculously upon the dry land… This time Jonah obeyed and went on to preach in Nineveh as God had told him to do.

This is what the LORD told Jonah to do;

“Arise go unto Nineveh , and preach unto it the preaching I have bid thee. So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the WORD of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days journey.

And Jonah began to enter into the city a days journey, as he cried, and said. Yet forty days and Nineveh will be destroyed. ” Jonah 3

Nineveh had been warned by a reluctant Jonah of their forthcoming destruction. Jonah boldly preached to them in regard to their wickedness and the need to REPENT! Well, they finally repented. The people of Nineveh were spared.

However, once again years later, Nineveh again returned to their sins and wickedness. ( Learn more about him in the Book of Jonah)

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SEEK THE APPROVAL OF OTHERS WHEN YOU HAVE THE APPROVAL OF GOD!

So yes, we at times must let some people go. Not to simply abandon them but give them over to God. For our Lord can do so much more with them than we ever can. God is Love yet He is also a God of wrath! So know experience is not always the best teacher. You can learn what not to do by simply observing others. Some things can be avoided… Yes, there are always consequences for our choices. So choose wisely as you become wiser. Not everyone wants help or godly counsel. They often want you to serve them and their purpose. Pray for discernment.

However, we must continue on doing what the LORD “CALLS” us to do. Knowing when you truly LOVE GOD that in His time “He works all things together for our good.” Therefore always look to GOD first and not man/ woman. DAILY “Seek ye first HIS Kingdom and HIS Righteousness…” Matthew 6

THE PROPHET NAHUM SPOKE DOOM AGAIN UPON NINEVEH

We know very little about “Nahum the Elkoshite.” But, we do know that he obeyed God and once again spoke judgment upon Nineveh. They again had returned to doing what they had done before. They had resumed their normal sinful ways. And this time they did not repent. God is Love yet He is also a God of wrath! Well, the great city of Nineveh was eventually destroyed.”...Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers I wil hear no more.” Nahum 2

Be led by the Spirit of God

It is important to make sure that you are not just going along with the masses. You want to make sure that you are being led by the SPIRIT of GOD and staying on the “Narrow Path!” This is the road less traveled. Take time to; “BE STILL & KNOW. ” For, “GOD is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserveth wrath for His enemies.“

The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and will not acquit the wicked; the LORD hath HIS way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of HIS feet…” Nahum 1 ( Learn more about him in the Book of Nahum)

Be careful and mindful that you are not being molded into the present system of thinking and values of this world. Many of the ways of the world have nested themselvses in the midst of God’s Church. Something to think about? Are you looking for approval? Will you stand up for the Word of God? Not in an argumentative way. Because the Word has its own built in defense. Do you really live thinking that Christ Jesus is going to return today?

Being a Christian is not a popularity contest.

You will be overlooked, rejected, slandered, mistreated and misunderstood. Just like Jesus. However you will also be faithfully LOVED BY GOD and some others as well…

Are you really being led by the SPIRIT of GOD or by the masses? God is Love yet He is also a God of wrath! Well then, if GOD IS leading you, carry on because it is GOD who we/you are accountable to…

” And BE NOT conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and PERFECT WILL of GOD.” Romans 12

The Prophet Jeremiah

Jeremiah is known as one of the Lord’s greatest prophets.  His father Hilkiah was a priest. He was called by God even before the Lord formed him within his mother’s womb. The Lord had him to boldly speak to the people.   The prophet Jeremiah fluently and voraciously spoke to the kings as well as the people of God. His inexhaustible messages were about the Messiah to come and the covenant with God and His people. He spoke to the pastors and told them of their responsibility to feed God’s sheep His Word. Jeremiah the prophet also spoke to the false prophets about their false dreams and wickedness.

As a prophet he experienced much anxiety and turmoil. Yet, he endured the (40) forty years he prophesied about God’s judgment to Israel and the world.  Jeremiah was well known as the Prophet of Doom. As a prophet he also preached consolation, repentance and the hope of a better life in the Lord. The Lord also told Judah and Israel to REPENT! But they did not. He candidly spoke to them. “And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and undestanding…” Jeremiah 3 Well this never happened.

Jonah Prophesies

Well, they still did not repent. Jeremiah continuously prophesied to them. The Shepherds caused the people to go astray and the people became lost to the ways of God. The land was filled with sin against God. Yet, God did not forsake them. But there were consequences. Eventually Israel was taken into Babylonian captivity. King Nebuchadnezzar burned down the House of the Lord as well as the King’s palace down. (Learn more about him in the Book of Jeremiah.)

The people often resented Jeremiah for speaking forth TRUTH. In this 21^st century the truth is alwaysnot readily welcomed. This is why so many calamaties are now happening all over the world.

JEREMIAH’S CALL & COMMISSION

Jeremiah was sent to root out, to pull down, to destroy, build and to plant.  This is why he was known as; ” The Prophet of Doom! “

” …SEE, I HAVE THIS DAY SET THEE OVER THE NATIONS AND OVER THE KINGDOMS TO ROOT OUT, AND TO PULL DOWN, AND TO DESTROY, AND TO THROW DOWN AND TO BUILD AND TO PLANT…” JEREMIAH 1

God is Love yet He is also a God of wrath! There is a reason for this Coronavirus pandemic. Also know as COVID-19. This deadly viral plague & pestilence has impacted the entire world in a multiplicity of ways… Over a half of million people worlwide have died and even many more have suffered greatly through this. LORD HELP US! GOD is always speaking we must get better at listening. It is important to spend time daily with the Lord in His Word. Seek His Will & Way above all others. For in the LORD there is always HOPE! Yes indeed; GOD is speaking in these ” PERILOUS DAYS ” by HIS SON!

CHRIST JESUS APPEARS TO HIS DISCIPLES

Then opened HE their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.

And said unto them, “Thus it is written, and thus it behooved CHRIST to suffer, and to rise from the dead on the third day AND THAT THE REMISSION OF SINS SHOULD BE PREACHED IN HIS NAME AMONG ALL NATIONS, BEGINNING AT JERUSALEM.”

AND YE ARE WITNESSES OF THESE THINGS. ” Luke 24

PLEASE DURING THESE “PERILOUS DAYS” LEARN: “TO BE STILL & KNOW!”

THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE IN THE LORD!

The “Nobody’s Perfect” Club

The “Nobody’s Perfect” Club

The longer I live the more I realize how utterly important it is to develop an intimate personal relationship with the Lord. I am told that when a teller is trained in the banking industry they are taught how to recognize the authenticity of currency. Therefore whenever a counterfeit bill is passed they are able to recognize it.

 

 

Things do not always look as they appear.

We live in a real world that is full of systems of deception. Many  things have been created to distract us from the genuine purpose of life.  As a believer our purpose is or should be  to glorify God. Without the Holy Spirit as your navigator you will get towed right along. This deception has further infiltrated His Church. It beckons those who are willing to make excuses for their shortcomings, to excuse self-gratification as a mere attribute to mankind’s imperfections. To immorally satisfy the carnal appetite to all who are willing to submit to the  well “Nobody’s Perfect Club.” It teach you although “the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof” He doesn’t really know how to bless His children. Because he intends for them to stay dependent on anything and everybody until they leave this world. Although they don’t believe blessings are just material, spiritual growth and development is optional. I warn you this will only enslave you to a life dependent upon sin.

 

 

We really miss the point. You see God doesn’t force us to embrace His Word.  He allows us to choose.  Christianity is supposed to be an everyday lifestyle. Instead many often choose to justify a life were sin abounds. This gives  unlimited privileges in the “Nobody’s Perfect Club.”

 

The “Nobody’s Perfect Club” allows easy access to unlimited excuses. It has a plethora of earthly benefits. You can live any way you want, say anything you want, little or no study required. Listening to an occasional  sermon or lecture may be required to help you with attendance kudos. Listening not  really required just as long as you say amen when it gets too quiet.  Just make sure you do all the social actitivities  inside and out side of the Church you enjoy.   O by the wall just some any kind of way you are comfortable. Afterall what does it matter since no one is perfect. You may even receive a B.A. (born again) if you don’t rock the boat.  That gives you a license to indulge yourself. After all “nobody’s perfect.”

 

LORD HELP US!

One caution, you may be persecuted or covertly disfellowshipped if you decide to “study to show thyself approved unto God…” Please if you have accepted “Christ as your personal Savior” allow Him to work in your life. Allow Him to activate His Holy Spirit within your  daily life. Leet Him make ivaluable  spiritual deposits to your eternal account that yields a harvest of blessings. If you have not accepted Him “accept Him NOW.” Ask Him into your life this very moment. It will be a journey like no other. If you have grown slack in your commitment (to His principles activated in your life) recommit!

 

God created us to live a life pleasing in His sight. Life is not a movie and Church is not a scene. Although it’s full of actors, it’s serious business. God really does know.  Please bear with me. You see I have been in church all my life. But I still can’t quite grasp why many really don’t believe. God really does hear all and see all every where in this world He created. If we did it would eliminate a lot of the charades. You see “seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness” will really add all you need in this life. What do you mean? The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew really contains a wealth of knowledge. Jesus discusses a multiplicity of issues. Those same issues are prevalent today.

 

Keep in mind when you really make up your mind to live for the Lord much spiritual warfare will rise up against you.  Much of it comes from those who should know you better. It also comes from “spiritul wickedness in high places”  Don’t be alarmed but instead TRUST GOD!  You see everyday  really is  a GIFT from the LORD.  NO one can make a day but HIM.  Absolutely nothing comes our way that the LORD is not aware of.   I assure you that GOD is more than able to keep you!  FAITH is the key!  It is  very important to KNOW GOD & HIS WORD for yourself.  “TRUST in the LORD with ALL your heart and lean not to  your own understanding. In ALL your ways acknowledge HIM and HE WILL make your path straight!”  Proverbs 3

 

 

Personal spiritual training is important.  This way whenever  or wherever you gather together with  the rest of His CHurch you will be better prepared.   I recommend spending  time in the Word of God daily.  Not in a religious wrote way.   But seeking to discover the infinite treasure of  the Lord’s Spiritual Wisdom.  It is the only Living Word given to man.  It is “A Lamp unto our feet and a Light unto our Path!”  Psalm 119   We  are accountable  to God for our actions.  It is important to know that He will never direct us to do anything that goes against His Word!

 

We are living in some interesting times when some of everything is going.  Nothing is not longer sacred to many.  Ask God to daily  enlighten you and open your spiritual eyes.

 

 

Taking time to develop an ongoing up close and personal relationship with the LORD is the most important thing that you can ever do! “Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth &  The Life.”  He came to earth to restore us and extinguish the enmity that satan placed between God and man.   His Holy Spirit is available 24/7 to help us. The WORD of God contains invaluable instructions. It gives marvelous examples to help us from falling prey to non-biblical  half true teachings. It even tells us  how “Jesus’ blood can cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

 

God does not have to manipulate anyone.  He allows us  the freedom to choose.  You can live your life however you want. but know that there are consequences for our choices. You can live  the way of the world or God’s way.

 

The majority in the church is you and Jesus. If you don’t stand for Jesus you will fall for anything. His WORD will equip you to know  truth from error.  His Holy Spirit will sharpen your discernment! Remember that bank currency I talked about. Don’t seek the approval of man over the approval of God.   God knows were we are coming from.  It is important to take God’s Word seriously.   He will equip you to do whatever it is that He has created you to do.  Always remember it is a “Walk of Faith”

 

Jesus stresses the importance of God’s way being the best way. Don’t allow anyone to make withdrawals from your spiritual account. (By the way nobody is perfect! )   Don’t use excuses, rather embrace self discipline.   Draw closer to the Lord because you never know what a day may bring.  But you can strive for  the perfection in the Lord.  LIVE TO PLEASE GOD!  He wants to manifest and multiply the Fruit of His Spirit within us.  He also wants us  to be aware  and daily grow in His Marvelous Grace!   He teaches us in HIS WORD! “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.“  Matthew 5  God would not tell us to do something that He would not Help us to do.

 

“May He give you the desire of your heart, and make  all your plans succeed.  We will shout for joy when we re victorious and will lift our banners in the Name of our God. 

May the  Lord grant all you requests. Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed  He answers him from His holy Heaven with the POWER of  His  Right Hand.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but WE TRUST in the NAME of the LORD our GOD…” PSALM 20

 

BLESS HIS HOLY NAME!

 

Jesus gave His Life so we could live victoriously in Him.  The power of His blood yields spiritual dividends for those who call and trust Him as Savior and Lord. O what’s a wonderful  Savior?  He can help us from the power of sin  reigning within our lives. Don’t relinquish spiritual deposits only God can provide, for membership in the  “Nobody’s Perfect Club”.
