Are We Seeing the Rain of Adversity, the Heat of Evil or the Rain of God's Love

 

Matthew 5: 38-48   Amplified Bible: 38 You have heard that it was said, “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth [punishment that fits the offense, 39 But I say to you, do not resist an evil [ who insults you or violates your rights], but whoever slaps you on the right chee, turn the other toward him also [ simply ignore insignificant insults or trivial losses and do not bother to retaliate---maintain our dignity, your self-respect, your poise]. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also [ for the Lord repays the offender]. 41 And whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks of you and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.

( in this period, any military could ask regular people to help them carry their gear and to go as far as the military needed to travel.) So could you imagine telling someone you will not go help them and it is for Jesus’ sake? When we do anything, either for Jesus, our spouse, those we work with, do we draw a big line not to cross to help? Like some at the hospital where I was a couple of years ago, they could not help you with an issue that caused them to walk across your room at the time. I was told they were there for blood sugar checks but their hand held machine was not working. Don’t ask her to do anything else, she only gets paid for the blood sugar check!!!!! (The duty nurse was on another floor all day!)

 43 You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and Hate your enemy; [Le. 19:18; Psalm 139:21-22] 44 But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. [Proverbs 25:21-22] 45 To show that you are the children of your Father Who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and makes the rain fall upon the upright and the wrongdoers [alike]. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward can you have? Do not even the tax collectors do that? 47 And if you greet only your brethren, what more than others are you doing? Do not even the Gentiles (the heathen) do that? 48 You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind & character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Be perfect: as your Father in heaven…God is perfectly holy, perfectly good and pure. 1 Samuel 2:2 — "No one is holy like the Lord."

Complete in moral character:  Romans 12:2 A. Bible: 2 Do not be conformed to this world ( this age), [fashioned after & adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed ) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals & its new attitude]. So that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good, & acceptable & perfect will of God, even the thing which is good & acceptable & perfect [in His sight for you].

Please know the Lord gives what is wisdom in the ideals and new attitudes!

Job 37:7-13    Amplified Bible   7 God seals up ( stops, brings to a standstill by severe weather) the hand of every man [and now under His seal their hands are forced to inactivity], that all men whom He has made may know His doings (His sovereign power and their subjection to it).

8 then the beasts go into dens and remain in their lairs, 9 Out of its chamber comes the whirlwind, and cold from the scattering winds. 10 By the breath of God ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is frozen over. [Ps. 147:17-18]

11 He loads the thick cloud with moisture; He scatters the cloud of His lightning. 12 And it is turned round about by His guidance, that they may do whatever He commands them upon the face of the habitable earth. 13 Whether it be for correction or for His earth [generally] or for His mercy and loving kindness, He causes it to come. [Exodus 9:18, 23; 1 Samuel 12:18-19]

From verse 7 God stops, brings to a standstill by severe weather the hand of every man. It is severe weather that forces inactivity. It is for man to know God’s doings that is His sovereign power and man is to be subject to His power!

The fires in California have either stopped or completely slowed living there in some areas! It is a jumping through hoops to get the papers to rebuild their homes!

Proverbs 15:3  NKJV    3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good.                                                                                  

In reading Job 37: 8-10 we know he is referring to winter type weather.  The animals find safety in their dens, in their holes where warmth or dry is needed.

Yet even now, we see this same thing occurring over the U. S. & around the world. Areas inundated with water like Hawaii, the areas of North Carolina by hurricane strength storm two years ago and neighborhoods were cut off by water around Mystic Camp in Texas last fourth of July.   

There are areas that have 120  degree weather one day or for two days and then drop back twenty to twenty five degrees to experience cold, wind and much rain. The weather person has said more than once that the weather appeared more like that of early winter. Interesting though they call winter type weather here with much snow and it is 70 degrees and thunder storms with lightning and much thunder.

There is an extreme marine heat wave simmering in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. This started forming at the end of last year but has worsened in recent weeks. The readings located from the Scripps Pier in La Jolla has broken more than 25 daily temperature records this years. We are just in the month of April. In this region surface water temp was 6,5 degrees and the sea bottom as 67.6 degrees. This related to the hottest on April 15 about 100 years. Significant things are occurring around us.  But……..

Are we looking at God in His power as much as we look at the power  say in the extreme of  11  inches of rain in an hour and half?  Or how about seeing whales, and the such wash up on shore due to the lack of food that is most likely dead or just gone from the area!!!

1.   As in this extreme, the flooding has curved tremendously the work man would do, but because of the massive run of rivers over land and businesses, man is stopped. There have been many casualties due to flooding.

2.   Stopped from all activities would include work, those in recreation and possible sports. If the beasts of the field find safety in their lairs, should we not also look for safety within the pages of God’s word?

3.   Thought: Even as the clouds are under the counsel of God, might our hearts do well to be led under His management? For whether it is for correction, for his land or for mercy, it is by the hand of God, like lightning that is designed to accomplish his purpose of mercy and justice. See Job 36:30

Executing  as in correction in Job 37:13: Genesis 7:11-12  Amp. Bible 11 In the year 600 of Noah’s life, in the seventeenth day of the second month, that same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up and burst forth, and the windows and floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 And it rained for forty days and for forty nights.

God said He would never flood the earth like He did then: Genesis 9:13 I set My bow [rainbow] in the cloud, & it shall be a token or sign of a covenant or solemn pledge between Me & the earth.

This  correction : it is seen as that which sweeps away the works of men, to render the fields useless and cut off the wicked! Correction will hinder any production of a seed or of a crop!  This type is seen like Prejudice and the effects is of much flooding in many areas.                       

Prejudice: is animosity, bias, injustice, discrimination… Prejudice occurs to all colors of people, not just to a select few. Prejudice can also occur against those who worship God, the one true God who created the heavens and the earth. And it can happen for other distinct reasons like of race, sex or age . But prejudice should not prevail in the life of believer’s  if we really are  in Christ Jesus. Remember: Jesus was discriminated against and He was God! He also showed people how to receive healing and then work not wait for a hand out.

As believer’s in Christ Jesus, we are to be about putting aside fears, prejudices, resentments and hatred. In Jesus, we are to be giving God’s love & compassion for all people. In this then we are true followers of Him and carry the true mark for forgiving others. Any anger, any hatred, harsh words, retaliation and revenge only result in more of the same.   

It is sowing those seeds of violence, hate and revenge on others.

It is only in God’s love that we can conquer evil …….Romans 12:17-21  Amp. Bible…17 Repay no one evil for evil but take thought for what is honest & proper & noble [aiming to be above reproach] in the sight of everyone. 18 If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for [God’s ] wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord. 20 but if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head. 21 Do not let yourselves be overcome by evil, but overcome (master) evil with good.

2.   Executing a productive land from Job 37:13,: it calls the timely rains. Any that belong to the Lord, he will cultivate as His very own: being faithful , the committed, submitted to God and His purposes for our lives.

 Psalm 24:1…the Earth is the Lord’s & the fullness of it, the world & they who dwell in it.

3.   For executing mercy from Job 37:13: that man might worship God. That just like the man Elihu who came to see Job, he regarded the supremacy of a mighty God and gloried in His majesty. It is that within God’s mercy, we would become more fruitful. Being people who give thanks and worship with praise on our lips.

God will have nothing to do with anyone who discriminates against another. We are to love our neighbors as ourselves!                   

Are we seeing by the impacts of the floods in so many areas, God speaking? Is He revealing that we must look toward Him and not for vengeance? Not for any prejudicial matter?

1.   What God has executed in regard to the workings of the weather, no matter the time of year, He holds them all by His power.

2.   Beasts of the field know enough to remain within their protective habitations.

3.   However calm and docile our days may seem, when the tempest blows, and rains fall in inches within an hour, does one take note?

4.   Will we not seek the Lord while He may be found?

Jesus is the Great Intercessor, and will pray for us. He will not frighten us or hold us in terror. But we are to fear the Lord …to hold Him in His majesty and glory. We are not thrown out of the covenant He has made with us. In His mercy we should be driven toward His mercy. Choosing Him for His commandments, truth, wisdom and grace, we are choosing life in Jesus.

In the time of the hospital stay, the Lord gave me words to encourage three young men for their future. The Lord had us to pray for the lady with her handheld machine. In the storm, or the calm, a wind of strength or darkness, the Lord's voice we seek to hear!

Does God have our Attention?

 We are Not to Withstand God (not to stand opposed in firm determination or with strong resistance ) Blood, Fire, Vapor and Smoke: Cosmic signs will appear toward the Day of the Lord. Will inspire awe for believers and terror for unbelievers. Some see it as a revival, but it is far more…it is also judgment on unbelievers !

Revelation 6:12-17 NKJV I looked when He opened the 6^th seal, & behold, there was a great earthquake & the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, & the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up & every mountain & island was moved out of its place. 15& the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men & the commanders, the mighty men, every slave & every free man, hid themselves in the caves & in the rocks of the mountains, 16 & said to the mountains & rocks, “Fall on us & hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne & from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, & who is able to stand?”

 

In reading through Revelation, you find the seals being opened. Of the first four seals represents that of persecution to Christians. It is a testing and sifting time for those who will stay with their Lord or follow the anti-type against truth! The white horseman is sent. Here one can see destruction start on unbelieving Israel. The second horseman is war and bloodshed. He is the firey red steed. He represents the slaughter that will come. The third, that of the black horse represents poverty and famine. In this is there seen that of much sorrow, much death with mourning, and there is desolation. (see in Isaiah 50:3; Jeremiah 4:28 and Lamentations 5:10. 

The rider holds in his hand a “pair of scales” representing economic terms where food prices rise some twelve times the normal price. The fourth rider is the pale rider of the yellowish-green horse. The rider’s name is Death! Pestilence like is seen in corona-virus. Then the wild beasts are sent out. It is here when saints on earth cry out. It is when prayer is sent upward by both saints and those who would be martyrs. Asking for God’s vindication: Luke 18:7-8.

The sixth seal is opened.: earthquakes, and storms, will affect the moon and sun. There is the falling of stars; and terrors on earth.

 

Not sure where you live who read this, but some most likely in a region where earthquakes dominate the land! We hear of many on what is called the Sandwich Islands and then again, we hear of regular tremors somewhere along the ring of fire in the Pacific Ocean.

Earthquakes like Cascadian Subduction Zone will occur and will be far worse than that of Yellowstone : Ash will fall not from 1 volcano but from many volcanoes with great eruptions: boulders thrown out by heaving mountains filled with volatile gases in seismic eruptions responding to plates shifting, mixing gases, soil with rock debris & hot lava will flow like rivers ; light of the sun, moon & stars will be blocked by that which fills the atmosphere from volcanic activity: No sunlight will enter/winter will begin, a scenario for that inundated by a severe volcanic apocalypse /Tsunamis will take out coast lines:& Gospel Message will be given

 

In this text of the sixth seal is a straightforward and uncomplicated detail. But this seal has a far more importance in that it is referring to judgment and gives the effect the signs have on the people of the earth. In Revelation 6, the first seal is opened. The Lamb of God opens it. The first rider is equipped with the bow but no mention of arrows!

 The seal is opened: a great earthquake. This would seem to make a great land mass to move. You can see the effects given in Acts 16 when Paul and Silas are locked away in a prison for doing God’s will on earth. It was for God’s purpose indeed!

But when we see the terms of anger and punishment given, God caused an earthquake to open the ground in the wilderness and swallow Korah and his fellow rebels found in Numbers 16:31-32. This passage is a good read when people rebel against God. We should know what God has given to us for knowledge of Him.  Verse 32: “and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men with Korah, with all their goods. 33 So they and all those with them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly.”

Found in Psalm 18:7, David writes, "Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken, because He was angry" (see Isaiah 5:25; Nahum 1:2-5). God prophesies in Isaiah 13:11, 13, "I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. . . . Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth will move out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of His fierce anger."

Yes, the word earthquake makes a frequent appearance in the passages of the Bible. Revelation 8:5 reveals one accompanying when the seventh seal is opened. Also noted is that of the two Witnesses found in Revelation 11:13.  In the same hour there was a great earthquake and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.

 When the seventh trumpet sounds there is another quake: Revelation 11:19 The temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thundering, an earthquake and great hail.

Revelation 16:18 and there were noises and thundering and lightnings; and there was a great earthquakes, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.  In this a great city has fallen completely. These who oppose Christ, the many people’s are judged!

A remnant watches for the Lord’s coming. When the Holy Spirit was first given: was drop by drop through this prophet like  Elijah,then a drop so to speak through that prophet Isaiah, also to that prophet Daniel and  through the many others….but still drop by drop.   Deuteronomy. 32:2 Let my teaching (doctrine) drop down as the rain, My speech distill as the dew, as raindrops on the tender herb, and as showers on the grass.

Jesus, the Lord of glory, will be bringing universal change of nature by His Holy Spirit. This outpouring of the Spirit is very comfortable to the righteous, those who go beyond any religion in their walk with the Lord. Their hearts are set to His truth and not to man's lies! Matthew 5:20 for I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes & Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

But the unrighteous hear this and they tremble. That is a day coming, the Lord will be seen, but what ushers His coming is the wonders in heaven & earth, blood, & fire, and pillars of smoke. It is coming soon: the sun becomes dark and the full moon will turn as blood! How much will we see, well God knows!

It was Jesus’ death that occurred as the result of the plan & foreknowledge of God. But it was the free and very sinful acts of the many human beings that executed the plan. What you see in this nation is also going on around the world in other nations as well!

 How can the two work together for the end of days?  

Those who are the true followers of Jesus have the Holy Spirit of truth, they hold the Gospel in their hearts, for they pray and they heed the warnings coming to earth! Many signs and wonders will fill the earth & heaven! And these will usher in a harvest of many people. Just as the Holy Spirit was hovering over the face of the deep in Genesis 1, He still hovers  over God’s plan and it is a good one! Are you ready to see what comes next?  I am!

A great event will be occurring: Joel 2:30-31 describes the same event: "And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD."

In what is called the Olivet Prophecy, Jesus repeats the warning found in Matthew 24:29 and Mark 13:24-25: "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken".

The Event is given in detail of signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken. (Luke 21:25-26)

When men's hearts are failing, it is because they have faith in men and not in God. They can have faith in their workplace to receive that check! But what happens when that company closes down or you have to do something that involves you health-wise to keep that job? Will our trust be in the Lord or will we take something deadly into the body that kills in time?

No men should have faith in Jesus, the Savior of the world!

In the Sun Darkened: John gives a really good description of that darkness of the sun as "black as sackcloth of hair" found in Revelation 6:12, he was comparing it to the black goat hair used to make sackcloth and tents in the day in which he lived. This may depict a solar eclipse or possibly a massive dust storm caused by a volcanic explosion. Even today, smoke from fire and volcanic ash hinder plane travel in some regions of the world.

In the teaching of the plagues of Egypt, the 9th plague was a “darkness which was felt” and I remember telling of this same thing, when we were on vacation one year when we traveled to some caverns in Carlsbad, New Mexico. As a youth with my family, we hiked downward into this large open room some 800 feet below sea level, and some 50 people with us huddled together in this damp cathedral type room to experience “lights out”! AND the darkness felt like it was embracing you. Yes, might God Himself repeat something so wild as a darkness that is so thick you cannot see your hand before your face. Might you experience that darkness that has some type of life to it, that it scares you?

Whatever the case, visibility will be severely limited, even during the daylight hours while people are about their daily business!

Chilling truth is there is a sight of moon like blood. Calamity and death as seen in war can be seen in that color of the 2^nd horse seen in Revelation 6:4. We have conditions here today of smoke and dust in the atmosphere. It is not an eruption but fires burning in California, Oregon and all the way into Canada! This smoke can lay in the gorge areas of Washington and one cannot see the sun, but only a gray cloud floating that has the stinky smell of smoke. Saw a visual on the weather channel this morning concerning smoke. With the fires here and on the other side of the world, there is this non-stop plume of smoke circling daily the earth.

The Stars will fall and within John's imagery there reflects countless late figs blown down by the violent winter wind as seen in verse 13. Most likely this will be a meteor shower of immense proportions, possibly containing larger-than-normal meteorites, thus increasing the effect and making it seem as if the stars themselves are falling. We hear of many near misses, but some have made their way through our atmosphere to touch the surface of the earth.  Some meteors have landed in Russia. And that of Apophis, a super meteor is to come to earth in 2029 and they say you will be able to see it visually with your own eyes sometime in the year 2025. ( thinking they mean with a telescope) But seriously, that is not too far off now from 2021!

The Sky is to recede. It will appear like a scroll rolling up. The mountains and islands will move. Such a convulsion of the earth will cause massive land transformations. The shifting of all land and that which is under the sea, all will face a violent shaking that  will see much destruction and a loss of life. I keep wondering if that is happening now. Where the sun sets in the west seems to be setting in a different place from last year September 2020.

The sixth seals’ disturbances all point to a cataclysmic force where the land is in a calamity, nothing is stable, not the earth under our feet.

“And who is able to stand?” Well this is answered in Revelation 7 where 144,000 servants of God on earth (Revelation 7:1-8) and the innumerable multitude of saints arriving heaven seen in Revelation 7:9-17. These 144,000 are able to stand on earth protected by God’s seal in verses 2-4. And the innumerable  multitude stands in triumphant before the throne of heaven in verse 9-10.

And then the silence! Oh yes, that silence. It will be thirty minutes of silence. No one anywhere will speak. Those sealed by God will stand. They are sealed by the Holy Spirit and that is found in 2 Corinthians 1:22 and Ephesians 4:30. Of the 144, 000 sealed is found in verses of Revelation 7:2-.

After the silence, it is full speed ahead! It is final judgment time. Do you think they will have a "double jeopardy" question to answer? Because double is the danger coming to those who resist God and His Son Jesus! Does God have our attention? Do we take note of the changes going on around us in nature? Or do we blow off any word from Him when He tries to give us warning of what is coming?

 Revelation 1:3 reminds us of this: Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those  things which are written in it; for the time is near.

Yes, the time is nearing. Only this Gospel has this prophecy of warning. No other has the prophecy. No other will know but those who heed the word of God and live. We read, we hear and place His word in our hearts, because that day is fast approaching. But for you and I, we live and move and have our being in Him. And without Him….all is lost. Does God have our attention, yet?

King of Glory

In Psalm 29, we are given that no matter the storm, no matter how weak or frail the church, Jehovah has strength and majesty to prevail.

Psalm 29 Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 2 Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name, Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 

 

Give, give….give unto the LORD glory and strength, give glory due to His name….worship Him

If you live in the United States, you might have grown up in the south. You might have experienced some electrical storms in the midnight hour. I saw many when growing up in that region of such nation. I saw the magnitude and brilliance of packed power in just one electrical strike and then to have a multitude of them within just seconds, you begin to look at Him who can do such things!

Although storms can come in different forms and manners still we are to be reminded that God knows the inside of us as He knows the outside nature of the world and beyond!

STORMS Happen: like Covid-19………3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; The LORD is over many waters. 4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; The voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars, Yes, the LORD splinters the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He makes them also skip like a calf, Lebanon & Sirion like a young wild ox. 7 The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire. 8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; The LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth, & strips the forests bare; & in His temple everyone says, “glory!”

THE STORM HAS Ended: THE Lord remains. His throne is not moved by Covid-19 nor that which men devise as evil before Him. He will judge and rise to do what is righteous in His sight! His judgment is fair!

Psalm 29:10 The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood, and the LORD sits as King forever.  

                                                                                       

August 2019 we had studied the ark, God’s calling Noah to build. Gen. 7:1-6 NKJV Then the LORD said to Noah, “Come into the ark, you & all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation ( generation of ruin-they are anti-everything). 2 “You shall take with you seven each of every clean animal, a male & his female, two each of animals that are unclean, a male & his female; 3 also seven each of birds of the air, male & female, to keep the species alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days & forty nights, & I will destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made. 5 And Noah did according to all that the LORD commanded him.                 

 

1.       God will not ask you to do something unless He is already there ahead of you..Come into the ark…come to safety for the generation is of ruin…..they are anti-everything

2.       And Noah did according to all the LORD commanded him

3.       And God will introduce you to things like rain as He did to Noah!

Psalm 29:11 The LORD will give strength to His  people; The LORD will bless His people with peace.

Yes, the strength of the Lord to His people is this thing called peace. It is a peace beyond just that ordinary word or meaning. In Luke 12, Jesus told us that He did not come to bring peace but rather division!

 Luke 12:49-56    NKJV…….49  I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished! 51 Do you suppose I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. 52 For from now on five in one house will be divided three against two and two against three. 53 Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter- in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother –in-law. 54 The He also said to the multitude “Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west immediately you say; ‘ a shower is coming,’ and so it is. 55 And when you see the south wind blow you say, “there will be hot weather and there is. 56 “Hypocrites!” You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?”

This Holy Spirit fire will bring an authority from heaven to earth. And the Holy Spirit in us, brings His peace of heaven, but will also bring division on earth. We are to live for God and not for the world! Jesus lived for God and they crucified Him!

Voice as a Thunderstorm: From Verse 3-4 His Voice is as a thunderstorm. He is over the tumultuous, God has dominion; His Voice is power, it is full of majesty: Revelation 4:5 And from the throne proceeded, lightnings, thundering, & voices. Seven  lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the 7 Spirits of God.

From Psalm 29 & V. 5 His voice breaks the cedars, Yes, the LORD splinters the cedars of Lebanon: 6 He makes them also skip like a calf, Lebanon & Sirion like a young wild ox:

1.       He makes them skip like a calf , Lebanon and Sirion: He causes the cedars to move by His majestic power; as the winds move over the trees, they appear to move like animals

2.       Storms brew and God’s voice is to be heard through them

3.       Thunder will reverberate through our being, lightning may dance and strike a tone by a hit on some high rod in the sky, but as Psalm 29: 1 speaks, Give unto the LORD, O you mighty ones, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 2 Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name, Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

4.       Whatever virus man makes to destroy others, God is to be glorified, not for viruses but for WHO God is.

5.       Give unto the Lord that which is ascribed to HIM, for He remains when the wind has passed on by. He remains to see us and see us speak to honor Him, to see His majesty and glory

6.       We are to approach Him in the act of worship: that state of the heart—the "internal" ornament-with which we should approach God—to a holy/ pure state of mind/that beauty or appropriateness of the soul which consists in holiness or purity. For when something strikes loud, and comes to stop you and yours: lift your voice to Him who is to be honored. Lift your voice in praise to His glory and His majesty.

 Whatever the storm, man-made or nature made, when there is sin involved a landslide will occur! Seen any in your area recently? I cannot but help notice where landslides are appearing around the world and specifically in what nations. Yes, sin is prevailing in some regions of the world. It is that "Me" drama:  It is that appearance, that culture which does the opposite God would do! It is one that rewards laziness: so they give them welfare checks! It also appears today as the real time-honored values of fathers are being attacked in commercials!

Another storm is that appearance within society that you get what you want by doing the wrong thing to get it……..and sometimes they are not prosecuted for doing wrong. It is endorsing perversion. It is refusing to discipline children. It appears as a worship of a political system rather than worship of almighty God. Yes, that self-interest causes landslides indeed! We hear of some regularly on the south side of I-84.

But the King of glory prevails. The Light has appeared and it was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. (John 1:9) John 3:17 For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 He who believes in Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he Who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.

Yes, lightning at night can raise many a man, woman or child out of a sleep and that warm bed. That clapping sound of thunder can raise a shaky interior to the man or woman who does not like that kind of thing especially in the midnight hour. But that lighting will light up a dark house. That light of the Lord will also light up that which needs light shined on it. For misdeeds and the such must be dealt with quickly. And the King of glory can do that quickly if you allow Him space and time to do it! Honest hearts will come near to God; they will come to the light for a change to occur.

Jesus is this Warrior— He is the King of glory! And He is the strong Lord, the mighty Lord of battle, Zechariah 14:3 Then the LORD will go forth & fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. 4 And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley.

The same Jesus in Revelation 1 is going to step foot on earth! Majesty, mighty, courageous heart and enduring strength, yes, His Greatness, authority and honor will be noted. He will be worshiped by everyone…. GLORY!

Light will shine....darkness will try to hide and every knee shall bow before Him: the King of kings and the Lord of lords! Amen.
