    THE RIGHT TO LIFE

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

    "THE RIGHT TO LIFE" AUDIO BLOG


    Thank you, Blessed Mary, for having faith in God, and not having an abortion. Thank you, Jesus, our Savior thee, for sacrificing your life for our sins. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for sending your only begotten son to die for us. Let Your Will and Your words always be mine. Amen.

    James 1:25 "But he who looks carefully into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and faithfully abides by it, not having become a [careless] listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he will be blessed and favored by God in what he does [in his life of obedience]."

    Life Always Wins. God Always Wins.

    Did you know that abortion is not a Constitutional right? No matter how many times "they" say it is.

    You know what is a right though? The unalienable right to Life. As a matter of fact, the right to Life is the first right we are given in the Declaration of Independence.

    Preamble to the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness.”

    We hold these truths to be self-evident : self-evident, meaning they should require no proof; common sense and morality should dictate right and wrong.

    All men are created equal : created equal, from the moment of conception, when Life is formed. Notice that it does not say born equal.

    They are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights :

    Meriam-webster "unalienable" : Impossible to take away or give up.

    Unalienable rights, endowed, or given freely, to us by our Creator.

    That among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness : 

    Life;

    Liberty (or freedom, equality); and,

    The Pursuit of happiness. 

    All are unalienable rights given to us by our Creator, the Father of Lights, in whom there is no shadow of turning. 

    Think about it. The belief in the opposite idea is an extinction-level mentality, because if everyone thought that life was disposable, we might just dispose ourselves right out of existence. The fact is that it is not just a cliche: Without the right to life, no other rights matter. 

    At least five of the justices that voted to overturn Roe and Casey are Christians; this is not a coincidence. Biblically, and now historically with Roe, people who are God-fearing, and have faith in God, are the ones who save mankind from extinction. I wrote  two other blogs recently about faith, and mankind being saved, which you can read ​here and here.

    In closing, an unborn baby does have arms, legs and a heartbeat.

    An embryo is human Life, and real science proves that it is Life from the moment of conception, or fertilization. See an Abstract from the American College of Pediatricians, titled "When Human Life Begins" by clicking here. 

    Any arguments to the contrary are lies perpetrated on the American people, and the world, by corrupt politicians, world and local leaders, teachers, religious leaders, and others, whose only desires are greed and control.

    Their time is up. It is time for God's children to shine. Step up. Speak up. Get involved. Lift up your hands. Praise God wherever you go. Make sure everyone knows on which side you are at ALL times. 

    Approach people with love, kindness, and knowledge of God's word, to give them something better to look forward to, or hold on to, rather than despair. 

    We are the Light of the World. It is time to shine.

    ​Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

    THE FAMILY

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

    "THE FAMILY" AUDIO BLOG

    Believers in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ ARE "The Family," 2.5 Billion members strong worldwide!
    "And he [Jesus] answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother." ​Mark 3:33-35

    Heavenly father, let Your Words and Your Will always be mine, and not my own, and let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus' name. Amen.

    I began writing this blog at the beginning of April 2022, but to tell you the truth, I have not felt much like writing, not that God hasn't tried though. Someone said something the other day, and it made me realize that I am not afraid; I am not worried; I KNOW God will not forsake me.

    The problem is I am waiting for something. Instead of living in the present, in His current victories, and having faith in His promises, I am waiting for His promises.

    The Bible does not tell us to wait! Jesus tells us to go forth and preach His Word, and confirm it with signs:

    Mark 16

    15 "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

    16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

    17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

    18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

    19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

    20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen."

    Jesus is saying that these signs will follow anyone who believes, not just His apostles: 

    • We shall cast out devils;
    • Speak with new tongues;
    • Take up serpents;
    • No deadly thing we drink shall hurt us; and,
    • We shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

    Who knew? Those are some pretty tall orders, and they are available to each and every one of God's Children, believers in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We may not perform, or even see, a lot of these signs right now, but we will very soon.

    As I have said many times, God is pouring out His Spirit into the hearts of His Chosen, and they are awakening en masse to the Power of God and the blood of Jesus Christ.

    ​Where there is Light, however, there is also darkness, for a time. 

    The morning of May 26, as I was reading the Bible, the Holy Spirit gave me discernment of the following scripture, as it relates to current events:

    Matthew 12

    43 "    When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

    44 Then he says, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished.

    45 Then goes he, and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation."

    In verse 43, the unclean spirit represents all of the demons possessing men today, mostly men in leadership around the world, but also many other abominations affecting society today.

    "Man" in v. 45 represents mankind.

    So, all unclean spirits in the world right now are being cast out, and they will roam, seeking rest, and find none.

    In verse 44, because this is not yet the end, after a period of time, those spirits will come back, and find the world empty (of demon spirits), swept (clean by believers in the blood of Jesus Christ, The Family), and garnished (with crowns of glory).

    And, finally, in verse 45, those unclean spirits will each bring seven other spirits more wicked than themselves, and the last state of mankind will be worse than the first.

    This Word is in line with God's Words to me in these blogs for the last three years. Destruction is coming, but God's Children who listen to, and obey, Him will be saved.

    I felt compelled to follow through and finish this blog this morning, June 9, when I read the following article on Business Insider: 

    www.businessinsider.com/magaverse-civil-war-brews-lin-wood-mike-lindell-qanon-john-2022-6

    Who and what to believe, and, oh, what a tangled web they weave.

    What does all of this have to do with "The Family"? Everything.

    Something God began putting heavy on my heart around the beginning of April 2022 is "The Family." 

    Seeing more people at church recently, even if short-lived, was such a blessing, and an answer to prayers. I realize, however, that what God said last year, that people would be looking for Him, is here, right now! What are people looking for exactly? The Family.

    Think about it: We are in The Family of Christ. Our Family is 2.5 billion members strong worldwide. 

    Jesus tells us that we are all a member of the body of Christ, and each member needs the other members to function. For example, if we were all ears, then we would not be able to see, taste, touch, walk, think, et cetera. We are all a member of The Family of Christ, and we need each other like a flashlight needs batteries to shine its light.

    Birth families are more divided than ever now, because God is literally separating the wheat from the chaff, and He is making it clear on which side everyone stands. People are searching for The Family that they do not have any longer as a result of this separation; they are searching for a connection with the members of the body of Christ, The Family that is 2.5 billion strong.

    Having been alienated from my birth family for many years, I can remember saying, even recently, that I have no family. This simply is not true. Jesus tells us to love The Family (in Christ) first, and then everyone else, as if they were ourselves. 

    Who is our family? Jesus said His family were those who believed in Him, the body of Christ, The Family, 2.5 billion members, who are emptying, sweeping, and will be wearing those crowns of glory when the demon spirits return sevenfold!  Matthew 12:43-45 above. 

    We are the batteries (2.5 billion) that will make God's (flash)light shine!

    Be prepared by charging your batteries now with the Word of God Ephesians 6:11-24, prayer, and The Family. 

    “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jeremiah 33:3

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

    "DENOUNCE EVIL"

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

    "DENOUNCE EVIL" AUDIO BLOG

    THE NARROW AND WIDE GATES

    Matthew 7

    13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. 

    14 But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it."

    This is a word God has been putting on my heart for the last year, with the first word on February 23, 2021, almost one year ago, "Denounce Evil," followed by: 

    8/28/21 - Man is a slow learner
    9/13/21 - The sins of Jeroboam
    12/14/21 - Work With God, Not Against Him

    All glory and honor and praise and thanksgiving to God Most High. Let Your words be mine, and not my own, and let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus' name. Amen.

    2/23/21 - Denounce Evil

    This was a tough one, one of those words where I opened a blog, put basically the title, "Denounce Evil," and saved the date. I opened the blank document a few times over the year, but I was clueless. 

    This morning though, God dropped a doozy on me. When I opened my website to start a new blog about the 'doozy,' I opened instead an untitled blog that I created around November 2021, which was a combination of these words from God on the dates I mention above, including "Denounce Evil." Now, because God is great, all the time, the 'doozy' He dropped on me this morning, finalizes His words to me given on the dates above, which He has given me over the last year.

    His first word to me almost one year ago on February 23, 2021, "Denounce Evil," should have been enough for me to write this blog, but as His Word tells us:

    "For though by this time you ought to be teachers [because of the time you have had to learn these truths], you actually need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of God’s word . . ." Hebrews 5:12

    So, even though, over the last few years, God has literally changed my life, and how I lived it, I did not understand the full meaning of the changes as they related to evil in our every day lives. Evil that we let into our homes, and our children's lives, every day!

    Let me try to explain. I knew that God had willed me to stop watching horror movies, especially movies about spirits, demons, sorcery, wizards, the underworld (vampires), but, also, bloody, violent movies. All of my favorites, by the way! So, this was a BIG change for my life, but it was really an involuntary change, meaning I had no control over it. All of a sudden, I realized that I could no longer watch movies like that, because they went against everything godly.

    It was an involuntary action or change in my life (God's Will), and this morning, He turned on a light inside of me that shone clear as day:

    Woe to us! We have gone the 'defiant way of Cain,' who thought he could climb into heaven some other way than through the door. That one is a thief and a robber. John 10:1

    What does that mean? It means, we may say to ourselves, or anyone who will listen, Oh, it is just a movie, or just a poster on my child's wall, or just a t-shirt, or just some jewelry, et cetera, but to the demon or spirit it was created to deify, it will always be a sound of victory, representing defeat over God's precious chosen, Us! 

    Cain knew right and wrong and the consequences, and he chose to be disobedient to God, and, by so doing, obedient to Satan and evil. Instead of worshipping God, he chose to worship Satan. See my blog about 'Cain and Abel' here.

    Satan is the ruler of this world, and the "things" in it are his to give:

    Matthew 4

    9 "And [Satan] says unto him [Jesus], All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.

    10 Then said Jesus unto him, Get you hence, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve."

    So, idol worship is worshipping (spending time with) any 'thing' more than you worship (spend time with) God.

    In fact, we are specifically told to meditate on His teachings day and night: "But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law [His precepts and teachings] he [habitually] meditates day and night." Psalm 1:1

    Trust me, I know firsthand the Truth hurts. I mean, I just recently found a couple of websites where you can watch practically any movie you want to watch, which in times past, would have been a gold mine for me. Now, though, I find very little worth, or worthy of, watching, and when I watch those movies now, with my new 'spiritual eye,' I see their in plain sight, hidden, agenda, which was and is to corrupt our minds, trying to keep us from moving towards God's glory, our rightful inheritance.

    Satan is the ruler of this world!

    1 John 2:

    15 "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

    16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

    17 And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides for ever."

    So, bottom line, you 'worship' whatever you spend the most time on during the day, which is sad because most people worship their jobs more than anything else. All is not lost, however, because as I have written before, you can, and should, still worship God, even while you are at work, or driving in the car, or standing in line. Hallelujah! Praise God. Amen.

    Now, it is not really our fault, but it is. Meaning, Adam and Eve chose sin for us initially, but God, in His infinite Power and Wisdom, gives us every possible escape from temptation. 1 Corinthians 10:13. 

    The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41

    Next up, God put on my heart on August 28, 2021, that "Man is a Slow Learner."

    I chuckled to myself as I was writing this because the Holy Spirit showed me that this message was meant for me! I am a slow learner! Clearly, since it took me almost a full year to understand the word from Him, "Denounce Evil"!

    8/28/21 - Man is a Slow Learner

    Joshua, the son of Nun, whom was Moses' assistant ruling over the Israelites, and whom assumed the role of leading them after Moses died, did not defeat all of God's enemies before he died. God left many enemies to test the Israelites. The Israelites lived in obedience to God until the death of Joshua, and the death of the remaining elders after him. After that, they "did evil in the sight of the Lord," so He sold them into slavery for eight years, and they repeatedly did evil in His sight.

    When you read the Old Testament, you cannot help but wonder why the Israelites were so stubborn? The LORD was actually with them, showing them signs, wonders and miracles, first in Egypt, and, then, during their 40 years in the wilderness. Yet, Moses was gone only 40 days and 40 nights to talk to God, and the people had already convinced Aaron (a Levite and the High Priest for God) to make them a golden calf to worship, and he did!

    In the generations that came afterwards, the ratio of bad kings outnumbered good kings, and thus the people who followed these bad leaders were bad as well. The Israelites never seemed to learn from their mistakes. When times got really bad, and the false idols they were worshipping did not answer their prayers to save them, because they never did, could or would, they then prayed to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, whom they knew all along would save them, and He did, time and time again.

    As you can see from the following chart (courtesy of biblesanity.org), there were a lot more bad rulers than good.

    Satan is very good at his job.

    The next thing God put on my heart related to "Denounce Evil," was the "The Sins of Jeroboam," on September 13, 2021.

    9/13/21 - The Sins of Jeroboam

    ​    Having researched this at the time, I can tell you what those sins were.

    First, Jeroboam, told the Israelites that they did not have to travel all the way to Jerusalem every year to worship their God, the God of Israel, but they could just worship him more conveniently at one of the two 'high places,' which Jeroboam had built.

    Second, Jeroboam decreed that anyone could serve as a High Priest at his high places, even though the Mosaic Law said that the high priests had to be from the Levitical line.

    Third, Jeroboam made golden cows, idols, and placed them at the high places for people to worship! 

    You can see from the chart above that ALL of the kings of Israel after Jeroboam were bad, which in the Bible describes as "followed the sins of Jeroboam."

    How does this relate to our lives? As I was typing this, God gave me that answer! In the scenario above, in the order given:

    First, Satan tells us that we do not need to travel all the way to church, but that we can just worship God more conveniently from our own homes, on the network Satan built, on our computers or televisions.

    Acts 2

    1 "When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place, 

    2 and suddenly a sound came from heaven like a rushing violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting." 

    "Not forsaking our meeting together [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the habit of some . . ." Hebrews 10:25

    So, "They were all together in one place." They did not stop meeting together, as is the habit of 'some.' Not at home, staring at a computer or television, or, if Satan has his way, not worshipping at all!

    Ironically, this word was to me in September. My husband and I started attending church about a month later, for the first time in the 18 years of our marriage, which I just realized as I was typing this!!

    Second, in 'the Sins of Jeroboam' analogy above, Satan has decreed that anyone can serve as a high priest at his churches, places of worship, especially anyone not teaching sound doctrine. 2 Timothy 4:3

    So, was God warning me to find a church that teaches sound doctrine? Most likely, especially since we went to another church first, where you could feel the presence of the Lord and Holy Spirit were stifled, nonexistent.

    Third, Satan has made many idols for man to worship in his world. Remember, you worship whatever you do or think about the most:

    "    Do you not know that when you continually offer yourselves to someone to do his will, you are the slaves of the one whom you obey, either [slaves] of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness (right standing with God)?" Romans 6:16.

    To withstand Satan, we are told to clothe ourselves with God's Word Ephesians 6:11-24, and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.' 2 Corinthians 10:5. Amen.

    Now, God's last word to me (that I was awake to hear) on this subject, until today, was back on December 14, 2021, "Work With God, Not Against Him":

    12/14/21: Work With God, Not Against Him

    If we understand God's Power, the Power of His Word and His Love, why do we not all work with Him, instead of against Him?

    When I think back on my own, personal experiences with God and the Holy Spirit, beginning when I was 13 years old, again in my 30s, and then not again until 58, I knew from these experiences that there was something supernatural out there, if and when I could tap into it, something that could change the very essence of who I was. ​See 'My Testimony to God's Power here.

    I did not understand this supernatural force until recently though, and, or course, I still do not understand it fully. Even though I knew all of these years that there was something out there, I still ran from it instead of embracing it.

    Here again, I now know this message, "Work With God, Not Against Him," was for me, and I know what it is about. One day, when I decide to admit it, and listen to Him, I will write about it. Amen!

    So, really, not much has changed:

    Over six thousand years later, and man is still stubborn!

    ​Satan is still deceiving.

    God's end game is still for man to reap his rightful inheritance.

    ​And, Satan's end game is still​ to stop that, at all costs, while unwittingly or unwillingly moving man towards salvation. God is great, all the time.

    Denounce Evil! 

    "Do not participate in the worthless and unproductive deeds of darkness, but instead expose them [by exemplifying personal integrity, moral courage, and godly character];" Ephesians 5:11

    Not by words but by power! 1 Corinthians 4:20
    ​
    Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

    THE MILLENNIAL REIGN

    GOD IS REAL SIN AND FORGIVENESS god-is-speaking-are-you-listening

    "THE MILLENNIAL REIGN" AUDIO BLOG

    "So they will fear the name of the Lord from the west

    And His glory from the rising of the sun.

    For He will come in like a narrow, rushing stream
    ​
    Which the breath of the Lord drives [overwhelming the enemy]." Isaiah 59:19

    Heavenly Father, thank you for Your many blessings. Thank you for Your Word, and Your words through me. Let them always be Your words and not my own, and let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus' name. Amen.

    First, I do not know why God picked me for these words, but I thank Him for it. I was certainly the least in Spirit my entire life, almost 62 years. See my Testimony to God's Power here. He will always lead you to do the right thing though.
     
    Hallelujah. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

    This is an amazing time we are in. He is freely pouring out His gifts and talents to His children. I heard something like, 10 years ago, there were 10 prophets. Today, there are literally over ten thousand, and His Word confirms this will happen. Acts 2:17

    There is so much going on around us in the world right now though. Prophets have been saying that God's plan is getting ready to be revealed to everyone, the corruption is being abolished, and God's people are being bandaged, healed and revived. Also, see my blog titled, "The Narrow Gate" for more about God's Spiritual War. 
     
    So, the night of January 25, 2022, in my sleep, I received the words "2,000 years," and just a feeling, or a sense of knowing, that it was about Jesus Christ's Millennial Reign.
     
    I first posted this blog on January 27, 2022. It was posted for about a week before I took it down, because I realized that God was still forming His word in me about the subject, and that I was hasty in my conclusions and in posting the blog before God was finished. Forgive me, Father.
     
    So, what did God’s word to me, “2,000 years” and the Millennial Reign of Christ mean? I now know it to mean that 2,000 years after the death of Jesus Christ, or on or around the year 2033, He will return to finish bandaging, healing and reviving us, and we will reign with Him for 1,000 years.
     
    Remember, no one knows the exact date of His return, not the angels or the son, and I do not claim to know the exact date. Matthew 24:36. 
     
    Now hear me out. Let’s look at some other Scripture God showed me that points us to the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ being 2,000 years after His death:
     
    Luke 10:25-37, the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Let’s look at this parable from a different angle than typically recited. In this interpretation, the ‘injured man’ is mankind. The priest and the Levite represent the Law, which was condemnation to sin and death, and the ‘Good Samaritan’ is Jesus Christ who will bandage, heal, revive and raise us up. Hosea 6:1-3
     
    In this parable, the Good Samaritan (Jesus Christ) bandages and heals the injured man, and takes him to the Inn. The Inn represents the church. The Good Samaritan (Jesus) gives the innkeeper (the church leader) ‘two pence’ and says, I will repay you when I return, and whatever more you spend.
     
    If we consider that a day is a thousand years to God, and a thousand years a day, as written in 2 Peter 3:8, then Jesus is saying that He has paid amply for our safekeeping until His return, one pence per each one thousand years, or 2,000 years after His death, on or around the year 2,033.
     
    Moving on, let’s look at the six days of creation in the book of Genesis for our next scriptural interpretation. Genesis 1:1-31, 2:1-3
     
    God created everything in six days, and He saw that it was very good, so He rested from all His work, and sanctified the seventh day, or made it Holy, free of sin and guilt.
     
    Consider, again, that a day is a thousand years to God, and a thousand years a day, and the creation story took place in six days, or 6,000 years. God has not forsaken us; before the world began, His plan was for man to have eternal life. Titus 1:2. From the time He created us on the six thousandth year (sixth day) of creation, He gave His promise of salvation (His Son), who will rule with His Chosen for 1,000 years, from the six thousandth year (after man's creation), until the seven thousandth year, the sanctified and Holy day, when we will return to God forever.

    Note that 6,000 years after man's creation also happens to be 2,000 years after Jesus' resurrection, which coincides with the Parable of the Good Samaritan interpretation above.

    Also, man was created on the sixth day of creation, or 6,000 years into the creation story, and our Savior, Jesus Christ, will return 6,000 years after man's creation; a total of 12,000 years. I am sure there is biblical meaning there somewhere. 
     
    To further validate God's word to me regarding this interpretation of Scripture, let us look at a calendar from the creation of man, roughly 4,004 BC, until today, 2022 AD. These dates are only rough estimates, because, again, no one knows the exact date of His return:
    From the creation of man around roughly 4,004 BC, to today, February 8, 2022, is 6,025 years. Six thousand years since the creation of man, and the time when Jesus will rule with us for 1,000 years. Roughly, 1,000 before the coming of the New Heavens and New Earth, the sanctified, Holy Day, made free of sin and guilt, the seventh day, or seven thousandth year, when all former things will pass.

    Hosea 6:1-3 further tells us approximately where we are in God’s timeline:

    1 “Come and let us return [in repentance] to the Lord,

    For He has torn us, but He will heal us;

    He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.

    2 After two days He will revive us;

    On the third day He will raise us up

    That we may live before Him.

    3 So let us know and become personally acquainted with Him; let us press on to know and understand fully the [greatness of the] Lord [to honor, heed, and deeply cherish Him].

    His appearing is prepared and is as certain as the dawn,

    And He will come to us [in salvation] like the [heavy] rain,

    Like the spring rain watering the earth.”

    Amen. 
    ​
    So, from the time of our creation, roughly 6,000 years ago, He has wounded and torn us, and bandaged and healed us. Hosea 6:1.
     
    What proof, you say?
     
    Well, think about it, from the dark ages (approximately 400 AD to 800 AD); to the wild, wild west (1800s to 1900s); the emancipation of black people in 1863; women’s rights, late 1800s to early 1900s; 1917, when Jerusalem was liberated; 1948, when Israel was established as a State; then, in the 1900s, of course, everything exploded in medicine, manufacturing, technology and science.
     
    Even so, I think it is fair to say that a significant number of people, even some of God's people, 'believers,' feel torn and wounded right about now. If you are still feeling that way, have you returned in repentance [turned away from sin] to the Lord, brought into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ, so He will heal, bandage and revive you? Do we have faith in the unseen, the invisible, or are we like Doubting Thomas, who had to touch Jesus' wounds to believe? John 20:24-31
     
    Now, after two days, or 2,000 years after Christ’s death, or roughly the year 2033, He will revive us, to rule with Christ in His Millennial Reign. Hosea 6:2.
     
    On the third day, or roughly 3,000 years after Christ’s death, around 3,033, He will raise us up that we may live before Him forever, in the New Heaven and New Earth, and all former things will pass away. Hosea 6:3
     
    Still not enough proof? I saw a video (see video below) a year or two ago that kind of shook me about an asteroid called 'Apophis.' Even though I put it to the back of my mind, it has always been in the back of my mind, and now I know why God showed it to me. The following video is not the original video I saw, but is basically the same content or idea.
     
    In the original video, they said that the people who found the asteroid and named it 'Apophis,' which translated means 'Hell' - You can't make this stuff up -  had reported that it was going to hit earth in 2029. Then, they said that after NASA got ahold of the information, suddenly it was no longer going to hit earth, but would 'narrowly miss' us. Hallelujah. Praise God. Amen.

    The following video says that it will pass earth twice, 2029 and .... seven years later, 2036. 

    It may surprise many people to know that nowhere in God's Word does He ever tell His chosen to stand there and let the rocks fall on their heads. To the contrary. Praise Emmanuel, God is With Us, always protecting us, but He is with us, protecting us, as believers, through the Holy Spirit, feeding us His word for the times, His Plan, His timeline even, either directly or through His prophets. This is how He communicates with us: Through the Holy Spirit inside us, if we are listening, or through His prophets. Not through the fake news or social(ism) media. 

    Wake up before it is too late!
     
    ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit.' [the Holy Spirit]  Zechariah 4:6
     
    For those who obey Him, those who repent (turn away from sin), which means reading His Word and praying, loving, doing, being ... the light of the world (or, at least earnestly trying - God knows our hearts).  

    He never allows us to be tempted more than we can withstand. 1 Corinthians 10:12-14. And He will not start now.
     
    In the Bible, the standard or flag is raised to direct the people in difficult times. I read something some time ago that said the standard was raised for only a couple of reasons: To tell the people to prepare for war; or, to tell them to take shelter (there may be a third reason). Jeremiah 4:6, 4:21. The standard is also referred to in Isaiah and Numbers.

    "So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him." Isaiah 59:19 (KJV)

    Remember, He is not coming to bring peace, but a sword of division between righteous and unrighteous. We must be prepared by wearing the Full Armor of God, so we can withstand the wiles of the devil Ephesians 6:11-24. Sometimes I feel like a broken record, but I guess God wants me to be a broken record. Praise God. Amen.

    In order to withstand, we must also follow the standard, or flag, God is placing in our lives. The only way we can do this is by listening, to His prophets, and to Him, by inviting the Holy Spirit into our lives, and surrendering to God.
     
    He has been preparing His chosen, the believers, for the times to come, and we know people turn to God the most in despair. "The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles." Psalm 34:17
     
    How can we ascend unless we first descend?
     
    How can we be 'born again' unless we first die?

    How can we be revived unless we are first torn down and wounded? Hosea 6:1
     
    And, if we return to Him in repentance [turning away from sin], He will heal and bandage us. Hosea 6:1. And, on the second day, revive us. Hosea 6:2. And, we will be held blameless in a crooked and perverse generation. Philippians 2:15.

    ​And, nothing shall by any means hurt us. ​Luke 10:19
     
    Now, I realize this is crazy talk, but it cannot be any crazier than the rest of this blog. I saw a video last year about a time traveler who said the world ends in 3036. See a short movie made by the Nostradamus brothers: Confessions of a Time Traveler, the Man from 3036.

    If this link does not work, you may be able to find it on freemoviesfull.com or 123movies.net.

    So, following God's Word to me, "2,000 years," after two days, or roughly 2,000 years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, or around or about the year 2,033, He will revive us to reign with Him for 1,000 years, and then on the third day, or roughly 3,000 years after His death, He will raise us up incorruptible and immortal that we may live before Him forever.

    "So they will fear the name of the Lord from the west

    And His glory from the rising of the sun.

    For He will come in like a narrow, rushing stream

    Which the breath [Spirit] of the Lord drives [overwhelming the enemy]." Isaiah 59:19

    "For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming [in glory] of the Son of Man [everyone will see Him clearly]." Matthew 24:27

    The above video says that only approximately 2 billion people in the world will be able to see the coming of Apophis. There are about 2.5 billion Christians in the world. Is that plus or minus one-half billion that do not wake up in time for that event, the ‘beginning of the birth pangs’? Matthew 24:8

    Let me end this blog where I started, with Hosea 6, specifically v's. 1 and 3:

    1 “Come and let us return [in repentance] to the Lord,

    For He has torn us, but He will heal us;

    He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.

    3 So let us know and become personally acquainted with Him; let us press on to know and understand fully the [greatness of the] Lord [to honor, heed, and deeply cherish Him].

    His appearing is prepared and is as certain as the dawn,

    And He will come to us [in salvation] like the [heavy] rain,

    Like the spring rain watering the earth.”

    ​Amen.


    Make sure your spiritual house is in order. We are here at this very time for God's purpose:

    “And your people will rebuild the ancient ruins;

    You will raise up and restore the age-old foundations [of buildings that have been laid waste];

    You will be called Repairer of the Breach,

    Restorer of Streets with Dwellings." 

    Isaiah 58:12

    We will be called the 'Repairers of the Breach' and 'Restorers of Streets with Dwellings,' in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

    He is not coming to bring peace. He coming to bring a sword of division between the righteous and unrighteous. Amen.

    ​God Bless You!

    AWAKEN FROM YOUR SLEEP

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

    "AWAKEN FROM YOUR SLEEP" AUDIO BLOG

    "Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame." 1 Corinthians 15:34

    All glory and honor and praise and thanksgiving to the One True God, our Heavenly Father. Let Your words and Your Will be mine, and let those with a mind to understand, see and hear. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

    In 2019, God told me that we are in a Spiritual War and a Spiritual Revival. A Spiritual War is not a war in the physical realm, but in the supernatural realm. Ephesians 6:12. (Also see my blog titled, 'The Narrow Gate" here) 

    You cannot be a warrior for God in this Spiritual War, but will only barely escape through fire 1 Corinthians 3:14-16, if you are not wearing the full armor of God. ​Ephesians 6:11-24. I know. Broken record. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

    Now, as I have said before, we can see the Spiritual Revival happening all around us, here and there, thousands being brought to Jesus Christ. Amen. It was not until a couple of days ago, however, that I came to a very important realization. God turned on my light again, so to speak: The Spiritual Revival is around us, but more importantly, it is inside of us. 

    See more under 'My Testimony to God's Power.'

    So, when God's Spiritual Revival began, the world did not all of the sudden become darker. No, it has always been dark, because, as God said, men have nothing but evil thoughts continually. Genesis 6:5

    If the world did not become darker, then what did happen? Well, God is awakening His children. Some of us, 'believers,' have awakened from our sleep of spiritual complacency (Romans 13:11 below), and others continue to awaken.

    All of a sudden, murdering unborn babies at all, ever, but especially at nine months old in the womb, the day they are suppose to be born, became a real life horror movie, against everything Godly, or morally right. Or, silencing and censoring people on social(ism) media, who do not agree with you, which is called communism by the way. These are just a couple of in-your-face examples, but awakening is so much more. See my blog titled 'Sin No More.'

    Awaken from your sleep of spiritual complacency, or I will come like a thief in the night.

    Romans 13

    8     [2]Owe nothing to anyone except to [3]love and seek the best for one another; for he who [unselfishly] loves his neighbor has fulfilled the [essence of the] law [relating to one’s fellowman]. 

    9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet,” and any other commandment are summed up in this statement: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 

    10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor [it never hurts anyone]. Therefore [unselfish] love is the fulfillment of the Law.

    11 Do this, knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed [in Christ]. 

    12 The night [this present evil age] is almost gone and the day [of Christ’s return] is almost here. So let us fling away the works of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light. 

    13 Let us conduct ourselves properly and honorably as in the [light of] day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and irresponsibility, not in quarreling and jealousy. 

    14 But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for [nor even think about gratifying] the flesh in regard to its improper desires."

    1. Romans 13:2 An exception to this is recorded in Acts 5:27-29. See especially v 29.
    2. Romans 13:8 Debt is generally to be avoided, but Paul probably is addressing debt to individuals with whom one has a personal relationship.
    3. Romans 13:8 The key to understanding this and other statements about love is to know that this love (the Greek word agape) is not so much a matter of emotion as it is of doing things for the benefit of another person, that is, having an unselfish concern for another and a willingness to seek the best for other believers.

    'Now these things happened to them as an example and warning [to us]; they were written for our instruction [to admonish and equip us], upon whom the ends of the ages have come.' v. 11 below:

    1 Corinthians 10

    1 "For I do not want you to be unaware, believers, that our fathers were all under the cloud [in which God’s presence went before them] and they all passed [miraculously and safely] through the [Red] Sea; 

    2 And all [of them] were baptized into Moses [into his safekeeping as their leader] in the cloud and in the sea; 

    3 and all [of them] ate the same [1]spiritual food; 

    4 and all [of them] drank the same [2]spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ. 

    5 Nevertheless, God was not well-pleased with [3]most of them, for they were scattered along the ground in the wilderness [because their lack of self-control led to disobedience which led to death].

    6 Now these things [the warnings and admonitions] took place as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did. 

    7 Do not be worshipers of handmade gods, as some of them were; just as it is written [in Scripture], 'The people sat down to eat and drink [after sacrificing to the [4]golden calf at Horeb], and stood up to play [indulging in immoral activities].'

    8 We must not indulge in [nor tolerate] sexual immorality, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand [suddenly] fell [dead] in a single day! 

    9 We must not tempt the Lord [that is, test His patience, question His purpose or exploit His goodness], as some of them did—and they were killed by serpents. 

    10 And do not murmur [in unwarranted discontent], as some of them did—and were destroyed by the [5]destroyer. 

    11 Now these things happened to them as an example and warning [to us]; they were written for our instruction [to admonish and equip us], upon whom the ends of the ages have come."

    1. 1 Corinthians 10:3 I.e. divinely provided manna.
    2. 1 Corinthians 10:4 I.e. divinely provided water from a rock.
    3. 1 Corinthians 10:5 Of all those adult Israelites who had been in bondage in Egypt, only Joshua and Caleb (along with those born in the wilderness) were allowed to enter the promised land.
    4. 1 Corinthians 10:7 The selection of a calf-god was probably inspired by the Egyptian bull-god Apis (Hapis), believed to be a living manifestation of the Egyptian god Ptah.
    5. 1 Corinthians 10:10 Perhaps a reference to the angel of destruction whom the rabbis called Mashhith.


    I had read  somewhere before that not everyone who left Egypt with Moses and the Israelites were allowed to enter the promised land, which was one of the reasons God took so long getting them there. All of the original warriors from Egypt had to die before the Israelites could enter. The warriors were too hardened and would not obey God. I had no idea, however, that it was only two people, Joshua and Caleb, from the original group that left Egypt, including Israelites, who were allowed to enter the promised land (along with others who were born during the 40-year trip). See v. 5 above, and footnote 3.

    The road to hell is wide and easy to find, but the road that leads to eternal salvation is narrow and difficult to follow, and few will find it. Matthew 7:13-14 These are not just words. Think about it. How could it be narrow and difficult to follow if all you have to do is say, I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior? That is easy, but it is just the first step. Anyone can speak words. But, can we obey God? That is what the Scripture repeatedly tells us to do, the apostles and God's prophets in the Bible tell us to do, Jesus Christ himself tells us to do, obey God:

    ​"    Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Ecclesiastes 12:13.

    Do we think that God is not talking to us, that He is talking to someone else?     Awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]' before it is too late. Also see my blog titled, 'Are You a Lukewarm Christian?'

    The world is broken, but YOU are not. God is moulding us. Let the pieces that no longer serve God fall off. Let God mould you into His Will, and     'Become, Become, Become.' (See "Become" poem by clicking here.)

    Let us all pray that God's children, His chosen, every one, awaken from their sleep of spiritual complacency, are not too hardened to obey Him, and will all be allowed to enter into the promised land. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and obey God's precepts and commands. All glory and honor and praise and thanksgiving to the living God, the great I Am. In Jesus' name. Amen.

    SIN NO MORE

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

    "SIN NO MORE" AUDIO BLOG


    ​Have you heard people say, 'once saved, always saved'? What does it mean? Can you continue to sin after you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and still expect to receive eternal life?
     
    Ephesians 2:8-9:

    8 "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

    9 Not of works, lest any man should boast."

    God's Word does tell us that we are saved by His grace, and not by works, but it also tells us many other things about what He expects from us. As a matter of fact, practically the entire Old Testament is God telling us what He expected from the Israelites, and then the Gentiles at the time. We now have the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins, but does that mean we should continue to sin, breaking God's precepts and commandments? God forbid!

    Jesus said to His disciples in Matthew 5:

    18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

    19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

    Will we be called 'the least' or 'great' in the kingdom of heaven?

    Still, that doesn't sound too bad, right? At least we are in the kingdom of heaven, right? Nope, wait. There is more!

    Hebrews 10:26 is probably familiar to most of us: "For if we go on willfully and deliberately sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice [to atone] for our sins [that is, no further offering to anticipate],"

    Seldom, however, do I see the remaining verses, 27 through 30, quoted with v. 26, especially v. 30:

    30 “For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine [retribution and the deliverance of justice rest with Me], I will repay [the wrongdoer].” And again, 'The Lord will judge His people.'” 

    "And again, 'The Lord will judge His people.'" Who are 'His people'? Taking the two verses 26 and 30, as if they are in the same context, the Scripture is referring to the ‘believers’ in Jesus Christ. ‘The knowledge of the truth,’ received in v. 26 comes from the Holy Spirit, which believers can receive only after having accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. John 14:6

    Likewise, Romans 14:10-12 tells us that we will ALL (believers) stand before the judgment seat of Christ and confess, and give account of ourselves, to God.

    We know that God will have compassion and mercy on whom He chooses. Romans 9:15. 

    Should we abuse, or take advantage of, God's grace or good favor? God forbid!

    Romans 6

    1 "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

    2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"

    Jesus said, Sin No More!

    "Afterward Jesus finds him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, you are made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall you." John 5:14

    “She answered, ‘No one, Lord!’ And Jesus said, ‘I do not condemn you either. Go. From now on sin no more.’” John 8:11

    Jesus also said, "For it is not those who merely hear the Law [as it is read aloud] who are just or righteous before God, but it is those who [actually] obey the Law who will be justified [pronounced free of the guilt of sin and declared acceptable to Him]." Romans 2:13
     
    Sin No More!
     
    ‘Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:18-19 Amen.

    Jesus says, Repent or Perish (Luke 13 below)

    The definition of 'repent' is not to simply accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. The definition of 'repent' is to turn away from sin!
     
    Likewise, the definition of ‘righteous’ is not to simply accept Jesus Christ either. Would you be surprised to find out that ‘righteous’ means to obey God? Or, Sin No More!
     
    "For it is not those who merely hear the Law [as it is read aloud] who are just or righteous before God, but it is those who [actually] obey the Law who will be justified [pronounced free of the guilt of sin and declared acceptable to Him]." Romans 2:13

    The unrighteous, guilty, sinful, sexually immoral, liars, murderers, adulterers, thieves, will not inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
     
    Luke 13

    Repent or Perish

    1 "Just at that time some people came who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate [the governor] had mixed with their sacrifices.

    2 Jesus replied to them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans because they have suffered in this way? 

    3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways and live changed lives], you will all likewise perish. 

    4 Or do you assume that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed were worse sinners than all the others who live in Jerusalem? 

    5 I tell you, no; but unless you repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways and live changed lives], you will all likewise perish.”

    Parable of the Fig Tree

    6 Then He began telling them this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree that had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it, but did not find any;

    7 so he said to the vineyard-keeper, ‘For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and have found none. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground [depleting the soil and blocking the sunlight]?’

    8 But he replied to him, ‘Let it alone, sir, [just] one more year until I dig around it and put in fertilizer;

    9 and if it bears fruit after this, fine; but if not, cut it down.’”

    Some Historians note that the Galileans were probably at the Temple offering sacrifices, when Roman Governor Pilate’s soldiers came through and killed them all at the sacrificial altars, thereby mingling their blood with the slain lambs’ blood. Pilate wanted more money from the Temple treasury, but the Jews refused, so Pilate sent men dressed as citizens, and armed with daggers, into the crowds, demanding money, and killing whomever resisted.
     
    The Jews who were reporting this to Jesus in v. 1 above were implying that they were better than the Galileans because they did not die like that. And, v. 4.
     
    Notice that Jesus repeats v. 3 again at v. 5, showing a sense of urgency: "I tell you, no; but unless you repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways and live changed lives], you will all likewise perish.” 

    Jesus' answer shows that the Jews who told Him about the Galileans believed that God had permitted them to be killed due to their sins. Jesus was letting them know, in no uncertain terms, that those who died were not necessarily greater sinners, but rather the Jews should themselves repent, turn away from sin, and that if they did not repent, they would all perish as well.
     
    So, considering in context Luke 13:1-5, as well as the 'Parable of the Fig Tree’ which follows Luke 13:6-9, as with much in the Bible, there is a lot of debate about whom the fig tree and the vineyard represent.
     
    Let’s focus on what we do know from the parable. God is looking for fruit on the trees. Surely, He would do the same with His vineyard. He has given us a season to change our lives, before the trees that do not produce fruit are cut down. v. 9. Praise God. Amen. 

    Again, 'repent,' which Jesus himself tells us to do, means to turn away from sin. Sin No More!
     
    Romans 2

    3 "But do you think this, O man, when you judge and condemn those who practice such things, and yet do the same yourself, that you will escape God’s judgment and elude His verdict?

    4 Or do you have no regard for the wealth of His kindness and tolerance and patience [in withholding His wrath]? Are you [actually] unaware or ignorant [of the fact] that God’s kindness leads you to repentance [that is, to change your inner self, your old way of thinking—seek His purpose for your life]?

    5 But because of your callous stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are [deliberately] storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed."
     
    Romans 2

    14 When Gentiles, who do not have the Law [since it was given only to Jews], do instinctively the things the Law requires [guided only by their conscience], they are a law to themselves, though they do not have the Law.
     
    15 They show that the essential requirements of the Law are written in their hearts; and their conscience [their sense of right and wrong, their moral choices] bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or perhaps defending them 
     
    16 on that day when, as my gospel proclaims, God will judge the secrets [all the hidden thoughts and concealed sins] of men through Christ Jesus.
    ​

    Sin No More! 'Lest a worse thing befall you.' John 5:14 above.

    "Then when lust hath conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death." James 1:15

    Romans 14

    5 "But because of your callous stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are [deliberately] storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. 

    6 He will pay back to each person according to his deeds [justly, as his deeds deserve]: 

    7 to those who by persistence in doing good seek [unseen but certain heavenly] glory, honor, and immortality, [He will give the gift of] eternal life.

    8 But for those who are selfishly ambitious and self-seeking and disobedient to the truth but responsive to wickedness, [there will be] wrath and indignation.

    9 There will be tribulation and anguish [torturing confinement] for every human soul who does [or permits] evil, to the Jew first and also to the Greek,

    10 but glory and honor and inner peace [will be given] to everyone who habitually does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

    11 For God shows no partiality [no arbitrary favoritism; with Him one person is not more important than another]."

    God is very patient with us. He is waiting for us to bear good fruit (our thoughts, words, actions, deeds) in the name of Christ Jesus! 

    "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." 2 Corinthians 5:17

    "Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you." Revelation 3:3

    "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." Revelation 22:12
     
    See my blog titled, ‘The Harvest,’ for My Testimony to God’s Power, and how important it is to Wear the Full Armor of God, so you can withstand the wiles of the devil, and pass your ‘test.' 

    The Time is at Hand.
    ​
    Jesus is coming like a thief in the night. Are you ready? Who will be left behind?
     
    Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ! 2 Corinthians 10:5. And, ask and God will show you great and mighty things. Jeremiah 33:3

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