READING THE TWIST OF TIMES
Greetings in the name of Jesus:
Every day now I read another twist of how Christians are tortured and killed in this world, and I can't help but to think about the things that continue to happen here within this county as well. It becomes a different kind of persecution and hate filled life style that continues to harm my brothers and sisters in Christ that I can see unfolding in America.
While this has not gotten so far in this country that it still cannot be stopped, it will no doubt take all of us to stop it. My only hesitation in getting involved is to ask if all of this is the sign of evil being unleashed upon this world in the times just before He returns for His judgment of this world. If it God who is unleashing the evil within this world there is nothing that anyone can do to stop His will from being done. I am hearing about the miracles that are brought about in the protection of Israel from rocket attacks from Ham mas, and I realize that God will protect His people, but that it is appointed to every man once to die.
My job in Christ Jesus continues to be to awaken the Bride of Christ from her slumber in this age, and to bring closer to God those whom seek after His love and Spirit. As I continue this work I am more aware than ever before of the possibility of evil overtaking this world before Christ returns. If that does happen there will be many who simply fall away from Christ out of fear. Churches all over this country may either be torn down or become a Masc before it is over, but it will not stop me from telling you the truth until I draw my last breath. We all are in desperate need of prayer right now because of this
on-slaught of spiritual evil we face. I believe however our prayers need to be that we can stand and be protected against the hate and anger that could very well be on its way.
I need to let you know that these things have been on my heart lately...that we all need to prepare for a time when it isn't so pleasant to walk in Christ and when the world around us starts making it difficult for us to meet on a regular basis. Just this weekend the Gathering was unceremoniously taken off of the standing schedule for our normal meeting room, and we were forced into a much smaller place. I wonder is that the beginning of what we are going to see happen? It certainly could be. Is there a time coming when our churches begin to be taxed so hard that they can no longer afford to be in the buildings they are now in? While these are simple questions that raise fear and anger among the church folks it is also time to have alternative plans for what we would do if it gets tough for us to meet. I believe that God will give us greater opportunities for harvest, but I also think we will pay a much greater price for our faith...especially if it is a true faith in Christ.
My mind is on those of us who are willing to take a stand for Christ be it life or death, and to stay together in Spirit. Right now we have a few hundred people who are standing with us around this world, and I want for you to know that it means so much that you come and visit my page each week or each month to catch up on some of what God is trying to say to you through me. Dear ones this is not going to get any easier on us in Christ, for just as this world has hated Jesus it will also hate us. May you richly bless God through your life in Him.
