That Flashing Light of Doom to the Enemy

 

Mayhem in the streets, all day long, is of the enemy. That entitlement comes to those who choose to defy God and His ways and choose to lie, cheat, to have love affairs with things of wood, metal, and sewage "leaders of Portland Oregon choose to allow people into the Willamette River even after raw sewage has leaked into the river at least five times this year".  We must stand strong in this hour.

Hebrews 13:5-6    NKJV   5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." 6 So we may boldly say:

The LORD is my helper;

I will not fear.

What can man do to me?'

 

We see the ugliness of fear when people were told a fable or story if you will. Fear is to be of the Lord. Understanding He is God and we are not to fear man. Man cannot cast you into hell. Although he can tell his peers to smear you in some fashion. Yes, society is different than some 30-50 years ago.

 

Fear, when not controlled, gives evidence that a person does not believe that God is telling the truth and that He cannot be trusted to have one's best interests at heart. What rules our heart? Is it the Lord or something else? Does money rule or does some group of people rule your heart? People will most likely not have peace for you in any form. But God has peace for us when we seek Him.

Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." To leave no doubt, God reassures us that He wants the best for us, peace and a future with Him forever.

No matter what problems we face, God has a glorious end-game in mind for us.

When we are sick, the symptoms of our illness tend to show up way before the root is exposed. We may face symptoms such as paralyzing anxiety, anger out of control, marriage in distress, financial chaos, a medical emergency, a suicide prevention at work and much more. In that problem, you and I will lack peace and will certainly long for relief. Where does this pain originate? Our Great Physician offers us great clarity and help.

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)

Your heart determines the course of your life. God reveals that the condition of our hearts will determine the course of our lives. What is inside your heart is taking you somewhere!

Christ points to it in Luke 12:32 as a reason not to fear: "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." The end-game for this physical life is only the beginning of the next—eternal life. Our God, with all the power at His command, is committed to getting us there, as I Thessalonians 5:23-24 reveals: "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it" (emphasis ours).

The Lord is leading us into eternity. But the world will lead you someplace else.  It will take you to hell! Jesus looks on our spiritual growth. He will bless us spiritually or will bring judgment to us spiritually. Again, this is for the believer indeed.

 

Our God is not passive in His love for us but is actively looking for opportunities to do us good, assuring us in 2 Chronicles 16:9, "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him." Not only is it God's will to be a present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1), this verse in 2  Chronicles also reveals that He takes it much further. God is with great effort, illustrated by running to and fro, actively looking for opportunities to help us. Kiel and Delitzsch says of this verse, "[He] looks forth over all the earth, uses every opportunity wonderfully to succor those who are piously devoted to Him."

So knowing that God is looking for every opportunity to help us, we should be able to relate to Psalm 121:  I will lift up my eyes to the hills—from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.

With all these promises, why do we have fear? We will fear if we do not make God's promises part of our thinking or lack the faith to believe them. We have some of God’s promises on mirrors. We keep watch on His word and make sure it is within our heart.

Heard today that people in our neighborhood are choosing to be too busy to read the word of God! Psalm 91 conveys to us the importance of a dialogue with God. Surely we have one with God daily, read His word and ask Him questions!

Psalm 91: 1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in Him I will trust. 3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler ...And from perilous pestilence. 4 He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night. Nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. 8 Only with your eyes shall you look and see the reward of the wicked.  9 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your swelling place. 10 No evil shall befall you. Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling: 11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. 12 In their hands they shall bear you, lest you dash your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample under foot. 14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him.  I will set him on high because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.

Abiding in the secret place, we declare the LORD, Jesus will be our refuge. In God we safe and delivered from the snare of the fowler. We are far from perilous pestilence. He cover us with His feathers and under His wings we take refuge. His truth, His word is our shield and buckler. (This is daily and should be maintained as a relationship, talking with Him.) We are not afraid of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays wast at noonday. A thousand may fall at our side, ten thousand at our right hand; it shall not come near us. Only with our eyes shall we look and see the reward of the wicked.

From verse 11 ....satan always leaves this out of his quoting the scriptures: he speaks, that God gives angels charge over you but he always leaves on the passage..."in all your ways".

Our ways have to be with God in communion with Him and obedience to His word. (We cannot say we believe in Him and never talk with Him.) He is our refuge. He is our strength and safety. No total immunity from things occurring around us, still we rise to the top in God. WE confide in Him! It is a relationship. Start there in Psalm 91 and speak everyday over your lives. Plead the blood line of Jesus around your property and be consistent. Ask God any questions, and He will answer you!

God is Engaged with Activity: John 4:24 God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth

1.   Alive in the new Birth; Alive in the flow of His spirit

2.   Enabled by His power and not as a mechanical thing.

3.   It is humble manner of transparency according to His word of truth for Worshiping Him is not a matter of location but the location of our heart: is it for Him out of true knowledge of God

Holiness starts in one's relationship with the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Justification through God's merciful act of grace opens the door of access to Him, as well as the door to the Kingdom of God. Justification is entirely an act of God, a legal action on our behalf that we accept by faith because He does not lie. Others do not easily discern our justification, since in most cases it has no outward manifestation.   While sanctification unto holiness begins at the same moment as justification, it is a progressive, creative, time-consuming work of God within us.  Unlike justification, sanctification cannot be hidden because it appears in our godly conduct. By it, a witness is made that God dwells in us. Where there is no holiness, there is no witness to glorify God. 

 So we see that justification and sanctification are two separate matters. They are related - indeed, they cannot be separated - but we should never confuse them. If one partakes in either, he is a partaker of both, but we should not overlook the distinctions between them. Keep away from the world's ways. Do not lie, nor seek evil, for evil is watching you. Let us be found faithful to the Lord and walk in all His ways of truth.

May this help anyone who finds themselves seeing evil in wrong places against you. Remind the devil you belong to God and quote Psalm 91. As I was reminded by my niece recently. and referring to my sister, her mother, to declare certain scriptures. In that the Lord showed me to give all of Psalm 91 again as I did before my sister passed into heaven. I also quote those harassing scriptures as in Jeremiah 15:14 "let every harassing spirit be roasted with double fire. Using the blood Of Jesus when drawing those blood lines around property ...Revelation 12:11. Philippians 1:28 gives the devil that neon of : "Doom, doom, and doom! " And in nothing be terrified by your adversaries, which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God." Amen.

Fervent Heat and Much Noise

God’s Promise is NOT Slack: 2 Peter 3:9-13 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is long-suffering toward us, not willing any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 11 Therefore since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to the promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

1.      We should be found living in godliness and faith

2.      His promise are great and precious, trustworthy, proven and inspired by the Holy Spirit

3.      We should be looking forward to the day of His kingship and rule on earth as it is in Heaven

From verse 10 we are told that the heavens will pass away with a great noise. All will be burned up on earth. Nothing will remain of it!

I would hope people would realize many decisions of the 60’s of the last century came through others than Baby Boomers. Many boomers were just ten or twelve when many in suits were raging against WAR!

Today:

1.      We worship not God but the Almighty Green Back Dollar.

2.      Greed has become the national motivator in America.

3.      Sex is the “obsession”. Wearing garments is seen as taboo!

4.      Gambling is the National Pass-time. I know folks who have lost their home due to gambling.

5.      Illegal drugs is consumed daily here in this nation, many dying much too soon.

6.      God is not allowed in schools and many churches.

7.      Kids are taught not reading, writing or math, but to be transgender and seek fantasy with green witches and magic wands.

8.      Babies are not welcome in the womb.

9.      Homosexuality is highlighted in this nation! Legalized same-sex marriage reigns.

10.  We are the moral polluter of planet earth. Does that make your skin crawl?

Plain and simple truth is America is a nation rejecting Christian heritage replacing it with the crude, rude, and paganized culture. We are a rebellious people. We thumb our nose at the great Creator God who has showered us with unparalleled blessings for over 300 years. God is expelled and the result is a society of wanton violence against others.  Believe me Jesus told us about Hell and it is a place to avoid.

As the Church grows increasingly weak from its internal rot, society continues to plunge into darkness. We are presented with a REAL and Present DANGER: NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST!

Peter Pry the executive director of the federal EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security, some years back had told Congress at that very time period that a major EMP could cause widespread "starvation, disease, and societal collapse" that could lead to the deaths of tens of millions of people. The Obama administration on hearing this released a multi-agency battle plan to study and defend against what many scientists consider the most likely source of EMPs: solar storms, which Bill Murtagh of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy calls "a real and present danger." ( again this was awhile ago.)

We are closer now than ever to that “nuclear blast”! Acts 3:19 Repent therefore & be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, 21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.

A Refreshing: a recovery of breath; to be revived ( NT 404: an—aps’—ook—sis)

Thayer’s Lexicon states: to recover from the effects of heat …to be refreshed in one’s spirit, refreshed by fellowship, by consolation, kindnesses: 2 Timothy 1:15-16 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 16 However for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.

1.         Might show: N.T.  1731 & 1722 ( en---dike’---noo---mee) to indicate by word or deed

2.         Pattern: NT 5296  (hoop-ot—oop’---o—sis) imitate

3.         Believe: N.T 4100 ( pist---yoo—o) meaning to credit our faith in Christ Jesus and not of the world

365 days a year, we should indicate by word or deed imitate with a credit of our faith in Christ Jesus…. The refreshing that came was by mercy of God! This mercy was not a passive emotion but an active desire to remove the cause of distress in others. We have opportunity through Jesus to come into the presence of God Himself!   Psalm 16:11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is the fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

1.         We must be living above our senses…..no drama queen, no pouty face

2.         A joy that appears as being gleeful; A rejoicing with laughter and ease with much peace

3.         Distress is removed; aiding one with sympathy in our heart

4.         Revived in the Lord: we are pulled out of fear, apprehension & worry

5.        It is about being refreshed receiving forgiveness of our sins.

Godly People delight in doing Good:  Proverbs 21:15 It is a joy for the just to do justice, but destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.  It is joy for the righteous man to do justice ; participating with God in His kingdom to regard His rights by His righteous nature for truth, love & peace.  The Bible tells us in length that “the way of the transgressor is hard” found in Proverbs 13:15…in that we see those who get drunk have hangovers to display their hard life, lack of money because it is spent on that which does not profit anything but only produces a really bad hangover.  Choosing to wreck their health with drink is a bad choice!

Psalm 89:13-18 NKJV 13 You have a mighty arm;  Strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand.

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;  Mercy and truth go before Your face.

15 Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!  They walk, O LORD, in the light of Your countenance.

16 In Your name they rejoice all day long,  And in Your righteousness they are exalted.

17 For You are the glory of their strength,  And in Your favor our horn (strength) is exalted.

18 For our shield belongs to the LORD,  And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

1.         Here we find truths: From v. 15 joyful sound, was the trumpet sound of jubilee, it was the            sound of setting captives free and restoration.

2.         Our refreshing is found in worship to Him who saved us! His holiness is imparted to us through Jesus Christ: it is in His mercy & truth where we walk in His light, His face is ever toward us and as we rejoice in His name, in His righteousness we are exalted

3.         It is a foundation set in God’s righteousness and His justice : it is led by the beauty of God in His kindness toward us….It is truth that is a stability that is established……it cannot be moved: Proverbs 12:3 A man is not established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous cannot be moved. Proverbs 10:25 When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, but the righteous has an everlasting foundation.

Refreshing place in Jesus: anchored in Him… in this, there is No Shaky Town: this is an inside Job …. Character Drives Our Purpose; Habits: strong or shaky; that is strong in the word of God’s truth or shaky in discipline that is of the world…stress will always point to true heart & character of a person!

1.         Being disciplined : in the Word, quick to follow instructions , obedient to parents, respecting them because the Word tells us to honor them. Seeking good habits for a healthy body /sound mind.

2.         From shaky city of the world…..do we just choose a way as we go / make our own way through haphazardly;  Lack of order is living aimlessly, without peace /without planning, one who is going somewhere to happen/ that can appear as destructive;    will we obey the rules of the road, eat the right kinds of food or just give it up for the anything goes lifestyle……???

3.         Multiplied behaviors: did you have two parents: did you grow up in America……or were you brought up in one nation to live in another????   It is the same as the born again person: we must submit to the rule of God in His kingdom. You cannot go from one nation bringing your own flag and symbols of that nation into the new nation. You must submit to the new nations laws and the rules of that land as in the United States, one nation under God, one nation with one language and one flag.  

4.         True character will be exposed when pressure is on you the person!

Each of us are responsible for spiritual warfare and anticipated victories. Things are literally heating up to a great explosion.  Flesh will melt. Even told that tongues will dissolve within the mouth, and that is horrific indeed. Yet even in this hour, the presence of evil struggles for survival.  We do battle in faith and with faithfulness to the Lord; it is His ultimate kingdom we live in; Holy Spirit is preparing us even now for these kingdom victories today: Daniel 7:21-22 NKJV “I was watching; & the same horn was making war against the saints, & prevailing against them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came, & a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the most High, &the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom. God overrules all other thrones

The Divine or the Monster: one will choose life and another death. One will choose the straight path  and the other folly. One will choose peace and love of God and the other fire and brimstone.  In this hour, be faithful to Jesus when confronted with persecution and death. And when the opportunity arises to encourage a young believer, may they note the courage in your heart that gives praise to Him who lives forever! For we choose to obey God and not people! We choose to be faithful to receive the crown of life, to be dressed not only for salvation but in righteousness too! Today we receive this word of God that teaches Jesus is coming for us soon! Amen.

The Crucified Life

 

In that crucified life we can hear the Lord speak! In that life, they produce some 100-fold for the kingdom of God. They are producers of good fruit to glorify God.

In Psalm 90:12 so teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom.  Accountability on our part is that all our actions in this life should hold an amount of fear. It is not fearing God as one of wrath, but one who is always before us in His sweetness, and light. It is seeing Him in His everlasting nature. He is the all-sufficient God, mighty and unconquerable.

Psalm 119:133 Direct my steps by Your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me. 134 Redeem me from the oppression of man.

Philippians 1:27 only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind, striving together for the faith of the gospel.

Here Paul talks of one's conduct. In this time period, men and women prized their citizenship as Roman citizens. But the most important conduct today is to behave in a manner befitting citizens of the kingdom of God.

In thinking of these words as to the kingdom of God, will be choose to unify with Christ Jesus? Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Would this be our theme verse for 2026 or any other year? Will we feed our mind the things of God's kingdom or of this world that is passing away......?

Isaiah 55:1-3  NKJV  "Ho! Everyone who thirsts,

Come to the waters; And you who have no money,

Come, buy and eat.

Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.

2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy?

Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.

3  Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live;

And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David.

Isaiah 55:1-3 contains an appeal, continuing the theme that there is a spiritual food that nourishes the inner man and fills one's life in a way and with abundance that all of a person's material things cannot. Your house nor your car can save you from hell. Here we see that God is speaking about His Word seen in the word "listen," which is directly connected to the phrase "eat what is good." This food is, of course, spiritual, and its source is God. Interestingly, He says to come and buy, but not with money. This food cannot be purchased with material wealth. All the money in the world cannot purchase it, but it still must be bought. Recall that the foolish virgins in Matthew 25 are advised to go out and buy oil from those who sell in preparation for the coming of the Bridegroom.

 

The "food" in Isaiah 55 and the "oil" in Matthew 25 can be bought only by means of the dedication and commitment of one's life in submission to Christ. Being committed to Christ is seen in our lifestyles!

 By being a living sacrifice in prayer, study, meditation, and obedience, one becomes energized by the food of God's Word. In addition, one can "purchase" it only from those appointed by God to "sell" it. It can only be bought from those already converted and provided by God with the gifts to teach it to others. In most cases, this is the ministry of the true church.

Do you know that "true church"?

 

Jeremiah 3:15 provides us with clear Old Testament evidence that the principle of feeding the mind with the correct instruction leads to good spiritual health: "And I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding." God clearly states that a mind fed with the right things can produce wisdom, holiness, and happiness. ( Imagine your life if you ate hamburgers every day. And this burger has three slices of bacon on it.)

Here it is God who promises that those who hear Him will be fed the elements of an abundant life through shepherds who exhibit godly character. God's Word, if it is believed and practiced, produces a unique perspective of life and a balance that cannot be found through any other means. Nothing that man has produced through philosophy or religion can even come close. Think of those who have created a religion like Mormons. These elements of human society have played major roles in producing restless, anxious, violent cultures. Know  any of these? Have you seen some appear in your own community?

In reading a recent newspaper from our area, I came across an article written by a group who are providing a teaching on authoritarianism. This event is scheduleease and comfort, d to be rolled out in January. It appears that they will give participants opportunities to discuss and join projects that oppose authoritarian measures currently being seen and done by current federal government. My question is: "where were all you the last four years in the last administrations rolled out such organizations?

Is that for folks who want to oppose an existing government established some 250 years ago??? Men can certainly fail you indeed. But I believe many voted for the recent President and I am certain he would desire all righteous men to pray for him as he leads this nation!

In hearing of such government oppositions, stomping your feet and demanding your wants is childish. One should be willing to vote for righteous ways and not unethical violent practices! And my next question would be on what amount of time have you spent praying over your leader and country?

People desire ease and comfort. They want you to give them "free stuff" while they tell you to leave them alone. People today want ease and no frictions. Although they carry tons of baggage over the last 25 years, they choose to find only those who like what they like and hate all others even if it is a leader of a nation or at their own job.

Of recent years, both my husband and I have had many days to record our thankfulness for still being alive in this hour. We have written down what God has done for us in the darkest hour we have seen. We have seen change come so quickly and hard to change my own life indeed. But my husband stepped up to help when I could not do for me. He stepped up, humbled himself to working from home so he could help me and not depend on another. For men will fail you indeed but prayer and God's word bring us wisdom and of course His peace. Today, a new year begins, not weighted down with past things, but looking forward with less clutter and much peace in seeing each day yielding the goodness of God. We record, yes, the good, the bad and the ugly, but we give much thanks to Him who is our sufficiency!

While I worked and my husband seemed distant at times, I found Psalm 92 so helpful to me. Verse 1-2 It is good to give thanks to the LORD and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; 2 to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night.

I found God good and faithful in my loneliness. I found giving Him thanks for His faithful heart, I could take that brokenness of my heart and hold tightly. I found by letting go of His hand and taking His heart, we connected in a deeper level. For any anxiety that existed, I could minister His heart to others every day. In the morning, I expressed with loud voice to thanking His all-sufficiency and at night again, a voice filled our home with love for His grace to a broken world.

Yes, we two have seen good times and hard times. We have seen this life together in sickness and health, and know God is available in every season. He is waiting as we listen to His voice of wisdom and run to declare it to others. We know the darkness of the enemy and the pain of any struggle. And prayer is a God-thing. It is about reaching His heart for His glory and His praise. And in return we walk in His wisdom dwelling in peace daily. Certainly Jesus knew these things.  He declared them from the cross as He hung giving up His last breath. 

We pray for those attending this event in January. We pray they stop violence to live in God's peace. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

When the Spirit fully controls the life of a believer, He produces all of these graces. The 1st three have to do with our attitude toward God. The second three deal with social relationships and the third group describes principles that guide a Christian's conduct.

 You and I must make a choice. We must choose to secure the best diet for the mind to utilize and assimilate into one's moral and spiritual character, as well as other expressions of our own personality. Can you imagine scripture today as to the man beaten on the pathway to the city and was robbed and beaten by bandits where a Good Samaritan rescued him. ( You can see on T.V. even 15 minutes, another person being thrown on that pathway, a child with disease, a veteran of a war or a wife left with 5+ plus children. It is all about throwing others on that roadway so a good Samaritan is coming by every 15 minutes.)

 Today, we know that it is the world that always produces an almost overwhelming amount of spiritual junk food and outright spiritual garbage, and it is within easy reach of any mind anywhere no matter where one lives. You know that today if you own a television set or a cell phone all that "Junk" is just a swipe away. It is a place of harm, and violence. It is a place where God is not revered.  Let us look forward, reaching for God's heart and not His hand. Reach out in prayer and believe God is there in the midst, in His goodness, we expect godly behavior, prayer against any violent behavior, and love for our neighbor. This is not for the one who breaks the laws of this land where we live, but one who reveres what God has done in the past. He can do it again when we lean into His word and His love. Amen.

Protesting

Protesting is demanding what, an entitlement or a truth! Protests in the city near here has brought naked people forward. Yikes! Not sure what a naked body has to do with protesting against the leader of this nation, but please put some clothes on now. Some protesting bring weapons to kill another, yet others come dressed like four-footed animals.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man ----and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore God gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Most certainly if one removes their outer garments and only skin is revealed what is revealed is a heart with wrong motivations. Certainly we should pay attention to scripture to steer our heart in diligence. As we grow in God's word we become more convicted about sin in our lives. The relationship knowing Christ keeps us strong in our daily walk of life!  We are to hides God's word in our heart: Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

The heart brings joy: “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones” (Proverbs 17:22).

Proverbs 15:13  A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance

Proverbs 23:7 For as he things in his heart, so is he.

Heard an actor speak on a podcast how the Constitution has socialism in it. Not! The Constitution speaks of having a social walk in freedom that is brought by God. Another Congressman said what he hears today is troubling. This man a democrat is fearing truth of God and the freedom that word brings to people who walk in faith toward to God.

Proverbs 26:23 Fervent lips with a wicked heart are like earthenware covered with silver dross. 24 He who hates, disguises it with his lips, and lays up deceit within himself.

Proverbs 27:19  As in water face reflects face, so a man's heart reveals the man.

When we have joy in our hearts, it can’t help but spill out to those who are around us. What joy to bring the medicine of cheerfulness to others, not because every situation is great, but because God is greater than any situation. Our joy is renewed as we stay in the presence of God through prayer and Bible study. The key to having a joyful heart is to keep our minds stayed on God and His grace over our lives.

Some prophetic words given in the last few months are pointing to a calendar, and one points as tap, tap, tap on a curtain month, change is coming. The next month for that change is the month of November when, what a million people rely on the snap program! It is out of funds and food pantry's are low of food for those in need. Where is the joy that God can meet us in that need?

The heart leads to salvation: “For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved” (Romans 10:10).

Salvation begins with a believing heart. It’s in our hearts that the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin and beckons us to come to the cross. When we choose to respond in faith, our hearts are changed through the power of the Holy Spirit and we are never the same. The key to salvation in the heart is through accepting the Savior Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for our sins.

 Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people

1.   Righteous behavior is seen

2.   Promoting only wickedness brings reproach & people mourn: It appears when people change the true definition of marriage …that between one man & one woman, it appears when people have affairs outside of marriage, who favor drugs and legalize it, it appears when alcohol is glamorized & showcased as a “good-time” but many fall under its magic & drive influenced by it to either kill someone or die themselves because of it…

3.   Wickedness oppresses & when other things are valued above God, then wickedness will ultimately bring ruin to a people, to a state and to a nation…..I pray that not happen to this nation of the United States…

4. A commercial on television reveals the man getting his drug of Fentanyl from a dealer. He tells how this drug promotes his body to decay and his organs to shut down as to that of an old man. He dies alone with his drug of destruction!

The heart establishes a giving attitude: “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7).

No believer should ever need to give in compulsion; rather our hearts are touched by God to give as He prompts us. We give to the kingdom of God not because we hope to get something back—but rather we give out of thankfulness for which the Lord has given to us. The key to giving out of a cheerful heart is to remember all the many blessings that God has showered on us.

The heart is guarded by peace :“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7).

One of the best blessings in being a believer in Jesus Christ is the peace that rises above every life situation. We are to understand Jesus has been made peace unto us. ( Ephesians 2:14)  While others are fretting with worry, believers have the power of the Holy Spirit to guard their hearts and minds with peace that has no human explanation. Having peace allows believers to continue to go through hardship and painful situations without regret.  Darkness appears at times in the walk of the believer, but God's word is a lamp unto our feet. The key to having peace in our hearts is surrendering all our prayers to God.

Anxiety is one which causes trouble for many. Anxiety can attack your nerves and change things in your body. We must act on God's speaking and to be still before Him. We are to do His commands and do it without fear of God or man. Psalm 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 

That fear opens doors to other things than what we might fear like: riding in elevators, riding an escalator, going up in a hot-air balloon or riding the waves with a kite board! Fear opens up doors to cancer and the such. You might confess cancer, but fear of something you have might open a door to that cancer.

To be set on heaven:“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God” (Colossians 3:1).

When our hearts are set on heaven, we can rise above the problems of the world and in our own life. We are not set on entitlements nor riding someone's coat tails into any luxury or extra wealth. You and I can look to the heavens and know that our God lives and moves all around us. Setting our hearts on things above releases us from the bondage's of materialism and seeking after " that " selfish gain. We are moved to live with a heavenly destination in mind at all times. The key to having a heart set on heaven is stepping back and realigning all of our desires with "that" heavenly gain in mind.

Is heaven on our mind:Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!   Heaven is seen when there is a submission and teachable spirit within us. There is not growth in the kingdom without obedience to Jesus' commandments and one with a childlike responsiveness to the teaching of the word of God. There is no lifelong increase of fruit as a citizen of the kingdom without a willingness to accept Holy Spirit's correction and guidance.

Heart is motivated to work: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters” (Colossians 3:23).

There is a greater desire to work if the focus remains on God and not on man. The key to a heart that is motivated at work is grounded in the knowledge that God is in control.

 So in that walk of protesting......... Do we protest to get things we think we are entitled to in this life.  Like is there a heritage where you think people have been forsaken to get more land, more wealth, and more entitlements? I have seen in the state next to Wyoming where Indigenous folks tear down new homes they were given. They took off the front doors and then removed the appliances. Every window and every thing not nailed down was removed. By winter less than two years later, no one could stay there because of the cold and snow on the ground. I have some Cherokee in me, but not enough to say I am entitled. My parents would tell me to work and not expect hand-outs.  And I cannot see how giving one something they have never worked for to be a people who will never keep what is given them. 

Just as the body can’t function well without a healthy heart, neither can the Christian with a spiritual heart—we will be sluggish in our work, hard at hearing God’s word, and slow to recognize His presence. The consistent disciplines of the Christian faith of prayer, Bible study, and fellowship will keep our spiritual heart's pumping strong towards our eternal destination.

Purity of heart is a work in progress in which both God and man share responsibility. Many scriptures show that God will cleanse by pardoning sin. But our responsibility in cleansing is very important and frequently mentioned along with what we must do to be cleansed. Notice how clearly James shows purifying is our responsibility: "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded" (James 4:8). So how is this purifying done? Well in 1 Peter 1:22 makes a summary statement: "Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart." Obedience to the truth through the Spirit purifies our character by inculcating right habits within it.

So what if we do not do that? Take those who smoke, they are trying to fight their addiction to cigarettes when they should fight rebellion first. My mother was a smoker for many decades and did not quite till she was like 82 years old. She was in rebellion because she was told not to do that thing. She had other issues from her young life and rebellion showed up! Was hearing about those who have things like schizophrenia and they too are to take a fight against their rebellion first before the other thing. Likely one had childhood trauma, and possible drug use. So knowing the cause will help fight the thing.

 Protest taking anything you should not. Likewise protest those who are stealing from you. Money put back for children and grandchildren is being set aside for illegals. In recent days we had Columbus Day. He Christopher Columbus was born-again. He kept a journal as he traveled over the many waves of water to reach a new land. He was an immigrant seeking to find people, create cities and plans for a future. 

It was Christopher Columbus who discovered America in 1492. He wrote one book and it was called “Book of Prophecies”…..he said he could not have reached America without prayer and guidance of the Holy Spirit.   Like Columbus, we can choose to ask the Holy Spirit to guide us. In every opportunity, He will use that language of Tongues to pray for our calling, to pray out the plan of God, to edify us, and to charge us with HOLY power. He will lend Himself to us as our faith allows Him to be activated within our spirit. He will pull us out of everything Jesus set us free from and into everything Jesus says that we are in HIM.  People who choose not to do as much as Christopher Columbus will blame him for something. We see that going on in cities of these United States. Naked does nothing for you. We are to be clothing ourselves with the new man every time we give ourselves to the Word of God and to prayer. Praying in the Spirit will edify our spirit man, purge us and develop our character until everything we do and everything we say is “governed by the love of God”.
