    WONDERS IN HEAVEN ABOVE

    THE HOLY SPIRIT god-is-speaking-are-you-listening
    “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:" Joel 2:28

    Many prophets have been stressing in the last year or two, and are still saying, that a Spiritual Revival is coming. God has put this on my heart as well. 

    The above picture is the Las Vegas strip, in Nevada. This "cloud" formed over the strip only. As you can see the rest of the sky is blue. This picture brought me joy and a into prayer of thanksgiving and rejoicing, because if that's not God pouring out His Spirt on the Vegas Strip, then my name isn't Melanie.

    "And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:" Acts 2:17

    INCOMING!! Spiritual Revival to the Vegas Strip (and MANY other places across the World)!

    Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen

    "HE STOOD AND JUDGED THE EARTH" AUDIO BLOG



    Habakkuk 3

    1 "The prayer of Habakkuk the prophet.

    2 Lord, I have heard the news about you. I am amazed, Lord, at the powerful things you did in the past. Now I pray that you will do great things in our time. Please make these things happen in our own days. But in your anger, remember to show mercy to us. Selah

    3 God is coming from Teman. The Holy One is coming from Mount Paran. Selah His glory covers the heavens, and his praise fills the earth!

    4 Rays of light shine from his hand, a bright, shining light. There is such power hiding in that hand.

    5 The sickness went before him, and the destroyer followed behind him.

    6 He stood and judged the earth. He looked at the people of all the nations, and they shook with fear. For many years the mountains stood strong, but those mountains fell to pieces. Those old, old hills fell down. God has always been able to do that.

    7 I saw that the cities of Cushan were in trouble and that the houses of Midian trembled with fear.

    8 Lord, were you angry at the rivers?

    Were you angry at the streams?

    Were you angry at the sea?

    Were you angry when you rode your horses and chariots to victory?

    9 Even then you showed your rainbow. It was proof of your agreement with the families of the earth. Selah

    ​And the dry land split the rivers.

    10 The mountains saw you and shook. The water flowed off the land. The water from the sea made a loud noise  as it lost its power over the land.

    11 The sun and the moon lost their brightness. They stopped shining when they saw your bright flashes of lightning. That lightning was like spears and arrows shooting through the air.

    12 In anger you walked on the earth and punished the nations.

    13 You came to save your people and to lead your chosen king to victory. You killed the leader in every evil family, from the least important person to the most important in the land. Selah

    14 You used Moses’ walking stick to stop the enemy soldiers. Those soldiers came like a powerful storm to fight against us. They thought they could defeat us easily, as robbing the poor in secret.

    15 But you marched your horses through the deep water, stirring up the mud.

    16 My whole body shook when I heard the story. My lips trembled. I felt weak deep down in my bones and stood there shaking. But I will wait patiently for destruction to come to those who attack us."

    ​Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

    LOCUST

    GOD IS REAL god-is-speaking-are-you-listening
    This video banned from youtube. 
    ​Click here for audio blog, "LOCUST," on Brighteon.com.
    2018 Fires on West Coast in United States of America.
    Notice the grass, green things and trees remain
    relatively "unhurt."

    "And it was commanded them [locusts] that they should not
    hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither
    any tree, but only those men which have not the
    seal of God in their foreheads."
     
    Most people, including me, do not spend a lot of time thinking about the end times. I mean, if you already follow God with all of your heart, mind and soul, then you probably will not do much differently in the end times anyway. If, however, you have been paying attention to the weather around the world for the last month or two, or few years even, oh my: volcanoes, blizzards, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, giant hail, locusts ... it's kind of hard not to think about the end times, at least once in a while.

    Ever since reading about locusts in Revelation 9:3 (above), I have wondered what kind of locusts would kill men, but not grass, green things, or trees? This morning, a light bulb went off. I call them epiphanies or revelations from God, but, a light bulb went off, and I wondered if there was a laser technology named locust? Guess what? There is!!! As I have said before, 2020 was the year of "What the Literal Heck," but 2021 is clearly the year of "You Can't Make This Stuff Up."

    ​Here is a link to an article from PRNewsWire.com about the laser weapon named LOCUST.

    I am just going to throw this out here, without giving too many specifics. Please, read my blog titled, "Algorithm is Not Man's Rhythm," here, for information about "little birds" listening. 

    But, I am reminded of a certain western state in 2018, which had strange fires that burned only the houses and not the grass or trees around the houses (see image above). I mean, even a layperson like me thought at the time, it seemed like lasers. Those fires killed 85 people, but not the grass, green things or trees! ​
    ​
    Are you paying attention yet? Let us see what other indicators there may be for the end times.

    “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.” Matthew 24:22

    Did you know that for the first time ever, the earth is spinning faster, and a day is actually shorter than 24 hours?​

    Here's a link to the article from IndiaToday.in about the earth spinning faster, and a day being shorter than 24 hours. 

    What else could point to this being the end times?

    Well ...

    Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:”

    Revelation 6:12 "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;"

    You may or may not have heard about a proposed theory being discussed to "dim the sun" to reduce or delay the effects of climate change. Who is at the center of this controversial scheme? None other than Mr. Population Control himself, Bill Gates.

    From an article in interestingengineering.com (see link below), "Bill Gates is a man who recently suggested the world should eat 100% synthetic beef, has argued that bitcoin is bad for the planet, co-founded Microsoft, and remains one of the richest people in the world. He is also very interested in dimming the light from the sun to reduce or delay the effects of climate change, according to a forthcoming study from the Bill Gates-backed Harvard University Solar Geoengineering Research Program — which aims to evaluate the efficacy of blocking sunlight from reaching our planet's surface."

    Here is a link to the article from InterestingEngineering.com about attempting to "dim the sun."

    Matthew 24:29 and Revelation 6:12 (above) could be referring to this elaborate plan to dim the sun, or they could be referring to ash and smoke from volcanoes darkening the sun, which is also brewing right now, around the world. Last week, there were over 52 ACTIVE volcanoes around the world. The number is down to the 30s this week, but between earthquakes and volcanoes, meteorologists, geologists and volcanologists are still expecting something big, and 2021 is on track to become a record-breaking year of major earthquakes and volcanoes.

    Here is a link to the article from Israel365News.com about 2021 record-breaking earthquakes and volcanoes.

    And, finally, I am sure I could go into a lot of detail on this one, and maybe that is for a future blog, but I would be remiss in discussing the end times if I failed to mention the coronavirus.

    “And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.” Revelation 6:2

    A crown: "The mystery has been solved at last. Corona's origin has been discovered, in an etymological sense at least. It's right there in Exodus 34:29 --  When Moses descended from the mountain, he "did not know that the skin of his face had become radiant -- כי קרן עור פניו..." Moses did not know that his face was CoRaN, radiating light. It spread quickly to verse 30 and 35. Three incidents! This ancient Biblical Hebrew root is undoubtedly the source of the Latin word "corona," which eventually became "crown" in English. QaRaN can also mean horn, and is the likely origin of a host of other English words like cornice, corner, cornucopia, cranium, cornea, and unicorn." 

    Here is a link to the article from Israel365News.com quoted above about the word "crown" in the Torah (Jewish Bible).

    In addition, it is a fact that, under a microscope, the coronavirus resembles a crown, scarlet or purple and gold ​(see images above). “And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:” Revelation 17:4 

    "And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven." Luke 21:11

    At the risk of going off the proverbial "deep end," the sky has been abundant with UFO sightings, in plain sight, spaceships that look like clouds, stealth in the clouds, or actually, THE clouds. Check out MrMBB333 on youtube for seemingly credible videos of many of these sightings: MrMBB333 on youtube. The Bible clearly says that Jesus will come with the clouds:

    “Behold, he comes with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.” Revelation 1:7 

    I am not saying that clouds that look like stealth spaceships are Jesus, and God's Word actually tells us not to go chasing sightings of Jesus. When he comes, everyone will know. But, I am presenting events talked about in the Bible, and that are happening in real time, right before our eyes, today, in 2021. Hallelujah! Praise God for choosing us to be here during this Biblical time in His Plan!

    Do I believe we are in the end times? It is possible and even likely, but the bigger question is, Will the end be NOW? I do not believe that the end is now, not from what God has put on my heart in the last year, and which I have shared in previous blogs, specifically the story of Josiah in "Algorithm is Not Man's Rhythm," nor from what He has told great prophets in recent months and years.

    “But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Matthew 24:36

    God is very specific about how His children can know what to do every day, every step of the way, in their short lives on earth, including the end times. How you ask? The answer is PRAYER!

    The Bible says to "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." Philippians 4:6  And, that by so doing: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened." Matthew 7:7-8  And, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which you know not.” Jeremiah 33:3 

    I don't know about you, but I would welcome seeing some "great and mighty things" that I knew not, right about now, or anytime.

    In James 4:12-15, we learn the following about how to live our daily lives:

    12 "There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judges another?

    13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:

    14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.

    15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that."

    Pray earnestly to God, and ask for direction in your life, not just about the "big" stuff, but about everything, every day. Talk to God. Do you need prosperity and abundance? Turn your life over to Jesus Christ, and pray for what you need. God will not fail us if we are sincere in our repentance, or turning away from sin.

    So, while most people, including myself, do not spend a lot of time thinking about the end times, because, I mean, if you already follow God with all of your heart, mind and soul, then you probably will not do things much differently anyway. Also, when you "know God," you know you know God. I pray everyone knows Him to day, "whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow."

    ​Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

    ALGORITHM IS NOT MAN'S RHYTHM

    SIN AND FORGIVENESS god-is-speaking-are-you-listening

    "MASSIVE ASH AND DUST STORM
    WHIPS INTO TEXAS AHEAD OF TORNADOES"
    ​March 17, 2021

    OVER 52 VOLCANOES
    ​ERUPTING WORLDWIDE

    MAN, THE FINAL FRONTIER?
    ​Click image for article from Newsweek

    "SpaceX has received regulatory approval from the Federal Communications Commission to deploy up to 12,000 satellites, and is planning to launch around 30,000 more."

    "For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it." Jeremiah 4:28 (See the videos above about world and USA weather.) ​

    So, what's all this about algorithms? Well, algorithm is not man's rhythm, the rhythm of life, given by God when He created all things. Algorithm is artificial intelligence: Like "The Terminator," I'll Be Back, SkyNet, take over the world, artificial intelligence ... or, at least the beginning of it.

    Yesterday, I read that Elon Musk's Space-X sent 180 satellites into space in the last 10 days for the company, SatLink. (See article from Newsweek above.)  Seemed odd to me, but what do I know about satellites? The first thing that came to my mind was, it was bad enough we pollute the earth, now we are polluting outer space. Still a valid point, I think.

    This morning, however, I saw a prophet say that God said, The rhythm of life flows along with us, flows right along with us, but the algorithm is death. And then he referred to Ecclesiastes 10:20 ". . . and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. . ."  "Bird of the air": Satellites?! ". . . that which hath wings shall tell the matter": cell phones, computers, artificial intelligence controlling our homes?! . . . The algorithm is death?!

    Algorithm Definition: "A set of mathematical instructions or rules that, especially if given to a computer, will help to calculate an answer to a problem."

    "The algorithm is death"!!

    But, what exactly is God telling us? Clearly, it is a warning. "They" are listening to us! And, just like they spied on President Trump's campaign, we already know they ARE spying on us as well. It is no coincidence that it seems like you can merely think about something, and all of a sudden, the ads show up for it on your phone or computer. Now, they use these capabilities to get rich off of us with advertising, but God has shown us, through His prophet(s), that their capability and/or intent is to use this technology against us at some point in the future, to weed out dissenters, those who dare to deny them, their vaccinations, or their trampling of our Constitutional rights.

    Thus, the Scripture, "and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber . . ." Because, just like China is rounding up its citizens now in 2021, and putting them in "Internment Camps," "for the common good," God is warning us to be careful of what we say, even in our own homes, lest we be "rounded up" as well. 

    I know this sounds insane, but does it really? Think about it, look at the sequence of events I present herein, and God's Word to me over the last year in my blogs, most importantly do your own research, and determine for yourself.

    For instance, as I was writing this, I was reminded of, and drawn back to, my blog titled, "The Angels Are Here," dated February 9, 2021, (Click here to see that blog), which is a breakdown of Jeremiah 4. I do feel God has been warning me over the last year, much the same as with Judah and Jerusalem in Jeremiah, He will not turn away His wrath, for our sins and iniquities are too great in His eyes and we have not repented, or turned away from our sin.

    So, God will bring destruction to our cities, but not yet a full end; a remnant will remain to repopulate the earth. And we know from Scripture that God often uses our enemies to punish us. The algorithm is death.

    Stay with me for a few minutes now, because I am going to pull together something else God gave me a few weeks ago, and which He is just now bringing together for me into a cohesive thought, story or plan.

    So, yes, trouble is coming to America, and to the world, because God wants ALL of His children to return to Him, and to turn away from sin. Unfortunately, and sadly, in despair is when man turns to God the most, but this is not the end. Again, refer to Jeremiah 4. Not the end, and not at this time!?

    So, in my sleep on the evening of February 21, 2021, God gave me the word "Josiah." Although I did not know specifically who Josiah was, I felt certain I would find him in the Bible, and I did, beginning at 2 Kings 22 and at 2 Chronicles 33:25, and Jeremiah also talks about Josiah at Jeremiah 3:6. I recommend everyone read these passages. Some theologians and scholars agree that Josiah, even though only eight years old when he began to rule, may have been God's second greatest king of Jerusalem, second only to King David, but even so, his greatness was not enough to quench God's anger at the evildoings of his grandfather, Manasseh.

    The Scripture relevant to today's message, however, is as follows:

    2 Kings 22: 16-20

    16 "Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:

    17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.

    18 But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;

    19 Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heard what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the Lord.

    20 Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again."

    "But to the king of Judah [a/k/a Josiah] [a/k/a Trump] which sent you to enquire of the Lord . . ." Not that Trump is actually Josiah reincarnated, but that God showed me Jeremiah and Josiah to show what is going to happen to the world, but not until after Trump finishes his second term, or, more likely, after his natural, peaceful death, as in Josiah.

    So, now you know why it has taken me so long to write this blog. How do you write a blog to tell people destruction is coming? But, God kept giving me pieces over the last couple of weeks, until I had His full Word, which could no longer be denied.

    Trump won. I know it. You know it. God knows it, too! (See above image of my Fakebook post above dated December 7, 2020.) "Trump won! (God Won!) Roe v. Wade will be overturned! Abortion will be abolished." This is what God told me after the fraudulent 2020 election. And, He has told MANY great prophets that Trump won two terms and that president number 46 does not exist at this time.

    So, in conclusion, everything that God has shared with me, which I have written about in my blogs under "My Walk With God" above has pointed to one message: REPENT! Turn away from sin. This DOES NOT mean we have four years (until the end of Trump's second term), and/or until President Trump passes away, to "find God." No, God has made it clear to me, the time is at hand now to choose the narrow path: (see my blog here: "The Narrow Gate," and, I believe He has told me that, for those involved in this event, there will be no other opportunity in this lifetime to choose sides, good or evil.

    Choose God Now! 

    And, 

    "Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me." Job 38:3

    Our Prayer Today:

    Psalm 18:1-50

    1 "I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.

    2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

    3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

    4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

    5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

    6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

    7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

    8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

    9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

    10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

    11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

    12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

    13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

    14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

    15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

    16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

    17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

    18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.

    19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

    20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

    21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

    22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

    23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

    24 Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

    25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

    26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

    27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

    28 For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

    29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

    30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

    31 For who is God save the Lord? or who is a rock save our God?

    32 It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.

    33 He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.

    34 He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

    35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

    36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

    37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

    38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

    39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

    40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

    41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.

    42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

    43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

    44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

    45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

    46 The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

    47 It is God that avenges me, and subdues the people under me.

    48 He delivers me from mine enemies: yea, thou lifts me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

    49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

    50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and shews mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore."

    ​Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

    CHILDREN, CHILDREN, CHILDREN

    THE HOLY SPIRIT god-is-speaking-are-you-listening
    The night of the March 8, I had a night of fitful and restless sleep. I had a dream, or vision, or out-of-body experience, not sure what to call it. I kept hearing or seeing the word, "children" over and over again, continuously. I didn't see any children, so it was not like a dream. It was just the word, "children, children children" over and over again, all night long. I wasn't scared or fearful in any way, so it was not like a nightmare.  I may have felt concern, relief, joy, but not fear.

    ​I say, I had a fitful and restless sleep, because it was: I did not sleep well; I had dark circles under my eyes in the morning; and, I was tired, exhausted really, like I had run a marathon, and sore from my hips to my shoulders, as if I had used muscles I had never used before. 

    I cannot explain the experience beyond describing it, and God has not given me any further indication of what it was about. But, one thing I know for sure: 

    "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." Revelation 3:20

    Hallelujah! Praise God! Thank you, Jesus! Amen! Amen! Amen!

    THE GREATNESS OF GOD

    FAITH LOVE god-is-speaking-are-you-listening
    "THE GREATNESS OF GOD" AUDIO BLOG
    (or read only below)


    Why is GOD great? What makes Him great to believers? For a lot of believers, they know God is great because it is proven in their lives every day.

    We could say, synonymously, God is Love, because through Love, all things are great!

    There is common agreement among philosophers, scholars and scientists that Love is the most powerful emotion there is. Love makes the world go round, and, CHRISTians know that through God, Love is the key to our happiness, because it creates positivity where there was negativity, turns disagreement into accord, and hostility into reconciliation.

    There are many stories in the Bible that prove God's greatness:
    • The Creation Story, Genesis 1;
    • Noah's Ark, Genesis 7;
    • God's liberation of the Israelites from Egypt, Exodus 14;
    • Sodom and Gomorrah: God asked His friend, Abraham, what he thought before destroying Sodom and Gomorrah Genesis 19:1-29. God agreed with Abraham that if he could find 10 righteous people in the cities, among men, women and children, then he would not destroy them. Of course, we know that God could not find 10 righteous people, so the cities were destroyed; and,
    • Jonah and the whale: Jonah was angry with God because he knew that God was great and merciful, and that if the people of Nineveh repented, God would forgive them, and Jonah did not want that. But God told him, there are many people in Nineveh that do not know their right hand from their left hand, and should He not spare them? And, of course, he did spare Nineveh.

    There are many other stories and instances of God's greatness in the Bible, but perhaps the greatest of all is the story of God's only begotten son, Jesus Christ, and undoubtedly, the single-most reason people say, God is Great!

    John 3:16-21

    16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

    18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

    19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

    20 For every one that does evil hates the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

    21 But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."

    1 Chronicles 29:11 "Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all."

    And, finally, Psalm 46:1-11

    1 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

    2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

    3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

    4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

    5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

    6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

    7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

    8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

    9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

    10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

    11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah."

    Our Prayer Today:

    Father, we love the message You gave that first Christmas morning, when a heavenly choir sang, “Glory to God In the Highest.. and peace on earth to men.” How we rejoice in recalling the reason that You gave Your only begotten Son, to be born perfect, living with us sinners, so that by Your grace, His blood sacrifice would cleanse our sins forever.

    We pray that this glorious message of grace shines deep into the hearts of men, so that Jesus Christ is lifted up in the hearts of many. Jesus promised, “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” John 12:32

    We pray that many are drawn into Your arms of grace, forgiveness and mercy, and that we never fail to glorify You and Your message of peace on earth and goodwill towards men, for You alone are worthy of all honor, praise, glory and thanksgiving.
