    RNC 2024

    God's Plan SIN AND FORGIVENESS THE HARVEST
    "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." John 8:36
    For the first time in recent memory, we watched (almost) all of the RNC (Republican National Convention), July 15 - 18, 2024. In conjunction with the televised event, and play-by-play opinions on X.com (Twitter), over the duration of the four-day event, the experience was a giant rollercoaster of emotion for me as a Christian, from start to finish: From joy to disappointment to hope, and back again.

    To be honest, I told my husband, They are pimping out the RNC. Forgive me, Lord. My husband is much meeker and quicker to forgive than me, and he mentioned Mark 2:16-17 below, which we will look at in a moment. This morning, however, God began to put this word on my heart about the Republican National Convention.

    As Christians, it is important that we study and understand the heart of Jesus, so that we do not sin against God. We can see Jesus' heart and what God requires of man in Matthew 5,6,7, Ephesians 4,5,6, Luke 3:10-18, and throughout most of the New Testament.

    The other day I was praying, and I started to say, Father, thank you that I am not like ..... and, then, remembering, Luke 18 below, I stopped myself, and said, Father, forgive me, I am exactly like them.

    Luke 18

    9 "And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

    10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

    11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

    12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

    13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

    14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted."

    This is why we must store God's word in our heart so we do not sin against Him. Psalm 119:11

    Did I expect and hope that the entertainment, music, prayers and speeches at the RNC would have been entirely Christian-oriented? Yes, of course, but, as I was writing this, I realized that it is the Republican National Convention, not a Christian national convention. The RNC represents all voters registered as Republican in the United States of America (USA). America is, and always has been, a melting pot of people, ethnicities, faiths, and religions.

    Thus, the Constitution of the United States of America:

    First Amendment

    Quote: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." End Quote.

    Freedom of religion and free speech rolled up into one short paragraph, allowing Christians to freely teach, study and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in America. Of course, it also means religion and speech are free to everyone else as well, not just Christians. That being said, statistics show that the majority of America is Christian: Of the approximately 350 million people in America, approximately 250 million are Christian, albeit many who could probably use a refreshing of the Spirit! Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

    We should remember that Satan is the ruler of this world,     as it is written in scripture.

    But, we should also remember that Satan can tempt us only so much because God provides a way to escape.

    "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13

    It is also written in scripture, "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;" Matthew 5:44

    Think about it, when missionaries go to foreign countries to preach the gospel of Christ, they move into a community, put their children into foreign schools, attend foreign churches, sometimes churches full of good people who have lost their way to Christ, sometimes churches that worship and pray to false gods. They slowly become members of the community, and may start their own Bible study classes, and slowly reintroduce those people to Christ. Is this not exactly what Apostle Paul did from Ephesus to Corinth? Is this not what we are called to do: "Go ye into all the nations and preach the gospel unto every creature." Matthew 28:19

    We must not become complacent and comfortable in our circle of righteousness. "    For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:” 1 Peter 2:15

    Remember when Jesus preached to the Samaritans, who worshipped pagan gods and were considered unclean to the Jews. Many Samaritans were saved because of His preaching. John 4:1-25

    Anyone can be saved, even those who pray to pagan gods, if they seek the living God, the God of the living: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord [Jesus] shall be saved." Romans 10:13

    Instead of praying, Lord, thank you that I am not like those sinners, we should pray, Lord, forgive them, for they know not what they do. If we are attending the RNC, or praying for those attending: Lord, give us the strength and conviction to confess Jesus and preach the gospel to as many of the attendees as possible, all who have ears to hear. Lord, prosper our discipleship of the lost. In Your Name. Amen. 

    I mean, the RNC was ripe for harvest: "Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Matthew 9:38

    Prayer not criticism. We all need a double dose of humility:

    Matthew 7

    3 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

    4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

    5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

    Yes, there were a lot of sinners at the RNC, because all men are sinners. The Pharisees and scribes called out Jesus for eating and drinking with the publicans (politicians) and sinners:

    Mark 2

    16 "And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him [Jesus] eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

    17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

    ​". . . He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone. . ." John 8:7

    We cannot, as Christians, pick and choose which scripture to follow. The Bible is to be studied as a whole, and it is also written in scripture that all powers that be are ordained by God: 

    Romans 13

    1     "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

    2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation."

    Let's take a closer look at Romans 13:1-2, from Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible, biblehub.com:

    Quote: "Whosoever therefore resisteth the power... The office of magistracy, and such as are lawfully placed in it, and rightly exercise it; who denies that there is, or ought to be any such order among men, despises it, and opposes it, and withdraws himself from it, and will not be subject to it in any form: resisteth the ordinance of God, the will and appointment of God, whose pleasure it is that there should be such an office, and that men should be subject to it. This is not to be understood, as if magistrates were above the laws, and had a lawless power to do as they will without opposition; for they are under the law, and liable to the penalty of it, in case of disobedience, as others; and when they make their own will a law, or exercise a lawless tyrannical power, in defiance of the laws of God, and of the land, to the endangering of the lives, liberties, and properties of subjects, they may be resisted, as Saul was by the people of Israel, when he would have took away the life of Jonathan for the breach of an arbitrary law of his own, and that too without the knowledge of it, 1 Samuel 14:45; but the apostle is speaking of resisting magistrates in the right discharge of their office, and in the exercise of legal power and authority:" End quote.

    The law of the land in America is that we, the American people, have a right to vote on who leads our country. In this upcoming presidential election, more than any other time in our nation, our vote is literally good versus evil. Not to exercise our God-given (see Romans 13:1-2 above) right to vote, or to vote for anyone other than the Republican nominee, who happens to be Donald Trump at this time, is a vote against the Will of God, as it is written in scripture.

    There are 25 items in Agenda 47, Trump's platform, and they are all common sense for a God-loving, God-fearing, sovereign nation.

    Let's take a quick look at the commentary on Romans 13:2 from Barnes' Notes on the Bible from biblehub.com:

    Quote: "Resisteth the ordinance of God - What God has ordained, or appointed. This means clearly that we are to regard "government" as instituted by God, and as agreeable to his will. "When" established, we are not to be agitated about the "titles" of the rulers; not to enter into angry contentions, or to refuse to submit to them, because we are apprehensive of a defect in their "title," or because they may have obtained it by oppression. If the government is established, and if its decisions are not a manifest violation of the laws of God, we are to submit to them." End Quote.

    So, they closed out the final night of the RNC with President Trump's acceptance speech for the 2024 Republican nomination for President of the United States.

    Am I disappointed that he did not once mention our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in his speech? This fact did not escape me, and I was waiting for it. So, you bet I am disappointed, but I am equally thankful that he spoke of God Almighty repeatedly. 

    It was clear from his demeanor that God has humbled him with the attempt on his life, and I pray, and am hopeful, that he will listen to the Will of God, and that all of his common sense platform, Agenda 47, will be accomplished.

    "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." Romans 12:18

    God bless you. God bless America. God bless President Trump. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.

    SEVENTY YEARS

    GOD'S PLAN THE HARVEST Revelations

    "SEVENTY YEARS" AUDIO BLOG

    "And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing." Isaiah 23:18
    Heavenly Father, thank you for your many blessings, too many to count. Thank you for Your Word, and your words through me. Let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus's Mighty Name. Amen.
     
    This morning, as I was reading Judges 9, about how Abimelech, son of Gideon and one of his concubines, killed the seventy other sons of Gideon, and made himself king, God revealed to me that America HAS been under a veil, as I heard prophet Robin Bullock say last year.

    America, and its people, have been under a veil of blindness for seventy years, from 1952 to 2022. See Isaiah 23:15-18

    Here is what happened in 1952, exactly seventy years ago, from onthisday.com:

    • Feb 6 Queen Elizabeth II succeeds King George VI to the British throne and proclaimed Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms including Canada, Australia and New Zealand
    ​
    • Mar 10 Military coup led by General Fulgencio Batista in Cuba
    ​
    • Apr 1 Big Bang theory proposed in Physical Review by Alpher, Bethe & George Gamow
    ​
    • May 7 The concept of the integrated circuit, the basis for all modern computers, is first published by Geoffrey Dummer
    ​
    • Nov 1 "Ivy Mike", the first thermonuclear weapon to utilize the H-bomb design of Edward Teller and Stanislaw Ulam, is detonated in the Marshall Islands, Pacific Ocean

    Queen Elizabeth being included in this list will not now be understood by many, but soon will be understood by all.

    1952, seventy years ago, Big Bang theory proposed. It just occurred to me as I was writing that, that I wrote about the Big Bang Theory recently, on July 27, 2022. Click here: God vs. The Big Bang

    Not this morning, nor since I wrote the July 27 blog, have I even searched for, or seen, anything on the Big Bang Theory; in my mind, the subject was over.

    But, God will not be denied!

    In the last few years, I have written at least once that God turned His back on us because we removed Him from our schools in the 60s, among other reasons. As you can see, however, from what happened on April 1, 1952, seventy years ago, the proposal of the Big Bang Theory planted the seed for removing God from our lives completely, not just our schools!

    "Ivy Mike," the first thermonuclear weapon to utilize the H-bomb design . . . 

    War or Peace. The phrase, There is BIG money in war, has been rattling around in my head lately, and I did not understand the full meaning until a few days ago when God put in my path a 3.5 hour video titled, From JFK to 911: Everything is a rich man's trick. See video on rumble.com by clicking here.

    Also, I realized as I was rereading this blog, that the last three in the list above were so the elites could control our soul, our mind, and our body. Think about it: body, mind and soul (war, computers and God).

    Now, I was not going to write this blog when I saw the video. The fact that I even clicked the video to watch it was incredible; my attention span for things such as this is like 10 minutes tops, certainly not 3.5 hours. I watched only about 1.5 hours of the video, and decided I had seen enough. Like I say, if God has a word to be said, it will be said. You can get the gist of the movie by watching just 45 minutes to an hour. 

    So, after watching only 1.5 hours of the video several days ago, and reading chapters and chapters of God's Word since then, God has taken me full circle, back to the video, so I must share it!

    WAR IS BIG MONEY! And, apparently, war has to be perpetuated for all of eternity, so that the billionaires can remain wealthy.

    Seventy years ago, "Ivy Mike," a deadly weapon, was created, but as we can see from babyboomers.com below, that was just the beginning of the War Machine in 1952:

    On this day in 1952, from babyboomers.com:

    • Dwight Eisenhower elected President over Adlai Stevenson by wide margin; Republicans gain control of White House and both houses of Congress 
    ​​
    • Korean conflict continues as truce attempts fail
    ​
    • U.S. begins construction of first nuclear submarine, the Nautilus
    ​
    • U.S. detonates world’s first hydrogen bomb
    ​
    • Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Richard Nixon defends himself against charges of maintaining a secret slush fund in his "Checkers" speech, broadcast on national television
    ​ ​
    • Britain develops atomic bomb
    ​
    • Green-tinted chlorophyll becomes a popular additive to a variety of food and medicinal products as a breath aid (a benefit soon to be disputed by many doctors and scientists)
    ​ ​
    • First contraceptive pill developed
    ​​
    • Dr. Jonas Salk develops polio vaccine

    Yes, a Republican won in 1952: Eisenhower. It seems the prevalence of corruption stemmed from both parties at least as far back as seventy years, although I do not believe that Eisenhower knew exactly what he was getting into when he agreed to run for president. This can be borne out in his subsequent farewell address in January 1961 below.

    Except from history.com: "In his [Eisenhower's] speech, he spoke of the dangers inherent in what he called the 'military-industrial complex.' Due to the combination of national defense needs with advances in technology, he warned, a partnership between the military establishment and big business threatened to exert an undue influence on the course of the American government. His warnings would go unheeded, however, amid the ongoing tensions of the Cold War era." End quote. Tensions of the Cold War era, which the "military-industrial complex' created!

    This, of course, proves the crux of the video above, JFK to 911: Everything is a rich man's trick: War is perpetuated to keep the wealthy, wealthy, and the War Machine well-oiled. Those involved in the scheming will do anything at all, including murdering the masses by starting wars, to maintain the status quo, and hide from the world what they have done and are doing.

    The god of this world did indeed put a veil over America, Americans, and the world, so the light of the glorious gospel of Christ could not shine through. 2 Cor. 4:4. But God, the Father, has heard our cries, and He is removing the veil, so that all can see the Truth, if only for a moment.

    We can feel the revival in our land. Christians are waking up en masse to the Power of Jesus Christ inside of them. 

    Unbelievers are flocking in droves to hear God's Word and feel His presence.

    Many will be saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, and many will be cast into outer darkness forever.

    Isaiah 23

    14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.

    15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.

    16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.

    17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
    ​
    18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.


    Her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord. 

    ​    Celebrate! Victory is ours saith the Lord.

    Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

    FEAR YE NOT

    Revelations THE HOLY SPIRIT THE HARVEST

    "FEAR YE NOT" AUDIO BLOG

    We are of more value to God than many sparrows.
    Even the very hairs of our head are all numbered.

    GOD IS GREAT - ALL THE TIME!


    Heavenly Father, thank you for our many blessings, too many to count. Thank you for making our path straight. Thank you for reminding us everyday that you are here, you are real, and you are our God, the creator of the heavens and the earth. Let Your words always be mine, and let Your children always hear them. Amen.


    Some time during the night of March 26-27, 2022, I began dreaming about scripture. I wrote most of this blog on March 27, but, once again, I was a slow learner in connecting the dots. I looked at it today for the first time two weeks after writing it, and it just .. made sense. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus.


    So, I dreamed about scripture on March 26-27, just repeating the same scripture-based dream over and over, and then I awoke, and could not remember the scripture or the dream. So frustrating, right? So, I went back to sleep, trying to get back to that dream, chasing it.


    Then, clear as day, a scripture came to me in my sleep: Matthew 10:31 below. Later, lying there half asleep, I wondered if there even was a v. 31 in Matthew 10. Just writing that makes me sad that I do not yet have faith in God. Forgive me, Lord.


    So, what did Jesus tell me, when I was wrestling all night, chasing a dream? Matthew 10:31: "Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows."


    He loves us! He will never forsake us!


    God truly is great, all the time!


    So, I fell asleep again and received Matthew 12:1: "At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat."


    This is where I was having trouble connecting the dots, so to speak. What did the two scriptures, Mat. 10:31,12:1 have to do with each other?


    The Sabbath Was Made For Man


    From the two scriptures, we learn that Jesus loves (values) his followers (disciples) more than many sparrows, and, therefore, rebukes the Pharisees, who say that the poor and/or hungry cannot eat on the Sabbath. Basically, He is telling them that, once again, they do not understand the spirit of Law.


    It seems Jesus was a bit of a rebel. We know He could have easily turned two ears of corn into a full meal for His disciples, but He did not. He knew that the Pharisees were watching and would criticize them for plucking, cleaning and eating the corn on the Sabbath. He used the opportunity to teach the Pharisees, as well as His disciples, about the Sabbath: The Sabbath was made for man; man was not made for the Sabbath; and, that the spirit of the Sabbath was to do the Lord's Will: to worship your God; and, to care for, feed and heal the sick and needy and poor in spirit; and, not to stay locked up in your house, cruelly letting the stricken suffer alone.


    That being said, what did Holy Spirit want us to know about today? I sometimes pray for God to give me His Word for His children today; what does He want us to know today?


    With wars and rumors of wars, inflation up 40%, threats of famine and threats of empty shelves at grocery stores, plagues, pestilence, signs and wonders, happening all around us and the world, Jesus Christ wants us to know that He loves (values) us! more than many sparrows! 


    Jesus loves us! He has not forsaken us. We will be plucking fresh ears of corn, and doing God's work. He is setting us free to serve Him!


    It also shows us, however, that we should know how to fend for ourselves. Jesus tells us that we will be persecuted for His name: "and his disciples were hungry"; that sounds a bit persecuted, hungry enough to pluck the corn on the Sabbath, in front of Jesus.


    You would think they would be well fed, traveling with the King of Kings. Even so, traveling with the King of Kings, already having seen the miracles of which He was capable, i.e., casting out demons; healing those impaired from birth, et cetera, they still fed themselves, fended for themselves. They were well capable of feeding themselves. After all, He gave us every herb and every tree for food. Gen. 1


    As God has shared with us previously, the Harvest has been ongoing for some time. Now, however, is the time for everyone, believers and unbelievers, to reap what they have sown. Blessings and curses, curses and blessings: The giving will get more to give, to do the Lord's work, and the thieves will pay back sevenfold:


    "But if he (the thief) be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house." Prov. 6:31


    This is the time into which we are coming, a glimpse, if you will, for God's children to see the paradise promised. The story, however, does not end here. Some men (unbelievers) will still have nothing but evil thoughts continually. Some hearts will be hardened forever, and some will be awakened forever! Praise God.


    What we choose to do with our blessings is up to us. I pray that whatever we do collectively, as the body of Christ, will light up the world with God's light, so that the ones who love darkness because their deeds are evil will never again be able to dim the Light of Christ around the world.  John 3:19 below. 


    Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

    THE HARVEST

    Revelations Testimony THE HARVEST

    AI-GENERATED VLOG: "GIVE"

    AUDIO AND TEXT ONLY "THE HARVEST"

     Coincidence. What does it mean? "A situation in which events happen at the same time in a way that is not planned or expected." Merriam-Webster

    First, as always, all honor, glory, praise and thanksgiving to the One True God, the living God. Let Your words flow through me and not my own. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

    Sunday after church, my husband and I went to Wendy's, as we sometimes do. I usually check the order to make sure it is right, but the sign on the window to pay said something like, Check your fries. If they are not hot, we will replace them before you drive off. So, I mean, that is like a warning, right, so I told my husband not to drive off until I check to see if the fries are hot. I checked them. They were hot. We drove off. We parked across the street, and I started handing out the food, and what the literal heck, they did not put my hamburger in the bag!

    So, we drove back across the street. I tried to go inside, but the doors were locked, and we had to get back in the drive-thru line, which was now about five cars! By the time we got up to the window, our original order was lukewarm at best, and they replaced both sandwiches and both fries. So, now we have two bags of food. Thank you, Jesus.

    We drove back across the street and parked to eat. We had no sooner started eating and a young man with a hoodie on approached the car. Out of habit, I locked the doors when I saw him at a distance, and he came right up to my window. So, I rolled down the window, and he said something like, Hi, I wanted to get something to eat over there, but I'm homeless and I'm hungry.

    I was fumbling for the bags of food to give him some, because I knew we had two bags of food. Then my husband said, Here he can have my sandwich.

    Thinking about it later, I should have said so many things to him. I should have told him that Jesus loves him, and given him the address of the church, at the very least. Lord, please, help me to be a better servant, in Jesus Christ. Amen. 

    So, do you think it was a coincidence that we ended up with two bags of food, and then a young man needed food at that same moment? I mean, God even made it easy for us. We had the second bag of food right there! ALL glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving to God, Most High! Amen.

    Consider also that The Harvest Has Begun. Do you see that this 'test' at Wendy's is a part of God's Harvest on my husband and me? 

    1 Corinthians 3

    14 "If any person’s work which he has built [on this foundation, that is, any outcome of his effort] remains [and survives this test], he will receive a reward. 

    15 But if any person’s work is burned up [by the test], he will suffer the loss [of his reward]; yet he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has barely escaped] through fire.

    So, 'Satan demanded permission to sift us like grain.' Luke 22:31. Also see my blog titled, 'The Demons Are Out.' God is separating the wheat from the chaff, and He will gather His wheat together in His barn, but He will burn up the chaff. Matthew 3:12

    "But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the word, and understands it; which also bears fruit, and brings forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty." Matthew 13:33

    The Time is at Hand.

    ​In God's 'test' for us at Wendy's, did we barely escape through fire, as in 1 Corinthians 3:15 above? Only God knows for sure right now. With time, I imagine we will know also, by the fruit we bear, an hundredfold, sixty or thirty.

    The Harvest Has Begun! Hallelujah! Praise God! Thank you, Jesus! Amen!

    God's Word tells us that we can have every gift of the Holy Spirit, prophesying, dreams, visions, healing, et cetera, but if we do not have charity, which is an agape love for all people, loving others as if they were ourselves, especially our brothers and sisters in Christ, then we have, and are, nothing.

    1 Corinthians 13

    1 "    Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

    2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

    3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it benefits me nothing.

    4 Charity suffers long, and is kind; charity envies not; charity vaunts not itself, is not puffed up,

    5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;

    6 Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

    7 Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

    We will say, Lord, Lord, Jesus, we did many things in your name, and He will say, Get away from me. I never knew you.

    Matthew 7

    21 "Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.

    22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?

    23 And then will I profess unto them, 'I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.'"

    'Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he that does the will of my Father...' What does this mean?  

    What is the Will of God?

    "For so is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:" 1 Peter 2:15. 

    In other words, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:16

    Apostle Paul gives us a long list on how to be good Christians:

    1 Thessalonians 5

    Christian Conduct ('Well doing')

    12 "Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to appreciate those who diligently work among you [recognize, acknowledge, and respect your leaders], who are in charge over you in the Lord and who give you instruction, 

    13 and [we ask that you appreciate them and] hold them in the highest esteem in love because of their work [on your behalf]. Live in peace with one another. 

    14 We [earnestly] urge you, believers, admonish those who are out of line [the undisciplined, the unruly, the disorderly], encourage the timid [who lack spiritual courage], help the [spiritually] weak, be very patient with everyone [always controlling your temper].

    15 See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek that which is good for one another and for all people.

    16 Rejoice always and delight in your faith;

    17 be unceasing and persistent in prayer;

    18 in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

    19 Do not quench [subdue, or be unresponsive to the working and guidance of] the [Holy] Spirit.

    20 Do not scorn or reject gifts of prophecy or prophecies [spoken revelations—words of instruction or exhortation or warning].

    21 But test all things carefully [so you can recognize what is good]. Hold firmly to that which is good.

    22 Abstain from every form of evil [withdraw and keep away from it]."

    Sometimes things have to happen in your life before you realize what something means. This incident at Wendy's has shown me why it is so important to Wear the Full Armor of God, in order to withstand the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11-24

    Also, what Apostle Paul meant when he said, "For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night." 1 Thessalonians 5:2. . . "But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation." 1 Thessalonians 5:8

    Have you seen God's Harvest in your life? Did you withstand the wiles of the devil?

    We will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ and confess to God:

    Romans 14

    10 "But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

    11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
    ​
    12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God."

    "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

    I pray we all remember and repent, so we can withstand the 'test,' and remain steadfast in Jesus Christ, and obedient to God, until the end.

    Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

    "THE DEMONS ARE OUT"

    Video uploaded May 16, 2021, from mrmbb333 on youtube.

    “'Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has demanded permission to sift [all of] you like grain;" ​Luke 22:31

    Separating the wheat from the chaff!

    Put on your seatbelts, and hold onto your hats, this is a doozy! Thank you, Father God.

    First, praise God, the Most High, the Great, I Am! Heavenly Father, let Your Will be done, and not our own, and let those with minds to understand hear with their ears. In Jesus' name. Amen!

    The evening of March 19, 2021 (yep, March) in my sleep, God told me, "The demons are out." I was not fearful; I really had no emotion or feelings about it, except, Oh boy, what am I going to do with that information?  So, on March 20, I opened a blog post, put only the title, The Demons Are Out, and then saved it, but did not post it, just so I could save the date and God's Word.

    Now, I may have done some research at the time, and I am sure I prayed on it, but, honestly, I was not even sure I wanted to pursue it, because if I did, God would most certainly make me write about it. Forgive me, Lord, for not posting it sooner.

    There have been a couple of times over the last two years, since God has been speaking to me, that I have felt like I may be losing my mind, but God always reassures me through His presence in my life, and signs and wonders around the world, that I am most definitely not crazy, and that He is using me. Hallelujah! Praise God! Thank you, Jesus!

    Now, over the months since I created the saved document, The Demons Are Out, but never posted it, I have opened it occasionally, only to see a completely blank document, except for the title. Then, I would quickly close it, and move on.

    On December 9, 2021, however, I opened the saved document yet again, and something [God] told me to do an internet search for "what happened on this day," March 19, 2021.

    Courtesy of: www.onthisday.com

    "    Icelandic volcano Fagradalsfjall erupts for the first time in 800 years and after more than 50,000 earthquakes."

    Also, see videos above concerning the volcano eruption, as well as the freak storm in Southern California.

    I mean, you cannot make this stuff up. If that does not sound like, The Demons Are Out, then I do not know what would. So, I wrote this blog on December 9, 2021, but still did not post it ... until today. If only I had faith the size of a mustard seed.

    The skeptic in me said to myself, but that could mean anything, or nothing at all.

    Then, on December 19, 2021, I was reading through some of my previous posts for some reason, and I came across these blogs from February 2021:

    Breastplate of Righteousness, dated February 4, 2021, followed by, Breastplate of Judgment, dated February 6, 2021: 

    In the Breastplate of Righteousness post, God also showed me a single, big, bold lightning bolt. In addition to God controlling the weather, including the lightning, as I wrote previously in Breastplate of Righteousness, Satan, the greatest demon of all, was cast out of heaven and fell like lightning! "And he [Jesus] said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." Luke 10:17

    Both of those words in February are about God's judgment, and, then, The Demons Are Out on March 19, 2021.

    Now, how does God judge people in the Bible? In Exodus 12:23 "For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you."

    This is where we get the Jewish celebration of Passover, because the destroyer 'passed over' the Israelites homes. At that time, they used the blood of animals to mark the lintel of their doors, to keep the destroyer away.

    Now, we have the New Covenant of the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ, once and for all. Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus! Amen.

    Who or what is the Destroyer? 

    Courtesy of:  www.biblegateway.com

    THE DESTROYER

    A superhuman being, used as an instrument of God’s wrath in the execution of His judgment. It is difficult to say whether this is a good angel used by God as an agent of destruction, or Satan or one of his minions. If a good angel, God could use it to bring both blessing and destruction.

    The term is used only twice (Exod 12:23 [cf. Heb 11:28]; 1 Cor 10:10). In the Exodus passage, it is used in connection with the tenth plague of Egypt, the destruction of the Egyptian first-born. In the 1 Corinthians passage Paul warned against grumbling, as some Israelites did in the wilderness and were destroyed by the Destroyer. It is thought by some that the Destroyer referred to by Paul was the fiery serpents God sent to bring death to the complaining Israelites.

    In the time of David the Lord sent an angel to smite the people by means of a plague because David had made a census of the people (2 Sam 24:16). In Hezekiah’s time in a single night an angel destroyed 185,000 men in the Assyrian camp (2 Kings 19:35). The prophet Ezekiel saw in a vision a number of angels executing judgment upon Jerusalem and Judah (Ezek 9:5-7). The psalmist petitioned that the angel of the Lord would drive his enemies like dust before the wind (Ps 35:5, 6). The composer of Psalm 78:49 believed that angels could smite one’s enemies upon God’s command. In the OT Apoc., Jeremiah warned that the angel of God who was with the Israelites would punish them if they apostatized (Ep Jer 6:5-7), and in 2 Maccabees 3:24-26, Heliodorus was whipped by angels when he attempted to plunder the Temple at Jerusalem.

    END QUOTE


    This is not a surprise to me. God's Word to me has followed a pattern: Repent, turn away from sin, judgment, and the harvest. 

    One of the first things God put on my heart back in 2020 is that this is a Spiritual War. A Spiritual War is not in the physical realm, but in the Spiritual realm. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12

    He put on my heart that He is drawing a line with his finger in stone, a line between good and evil, God and Satan, so that EVERYONE should be able to see on which side they are.

    And, because He is gracious and forgiving, and never allows us to be tempted more than we can withstand, and because He wants us ALL to return to Him, He is simultaneously pouring out His Spirit on the World. 

    “For to everyone who has [and values his blessings and gifts from God, and has used them wisely], more will be given, and [he will be richly supplied so that] he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have [because he has ignored or disregarded his blessings and gifts from God], even what he does have will be taken away." Matthew 25:29

    He put on my heart that He is separating the wheat (the good) from the chaff (the evil).

    Luke 22:31 “'Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has demanded permission to sift [all of] you like grain;'"

    'Sift all of you like grain': Separating the wheat from the chaff.

    The time is at hand for burning up the chaff. The Demons Are Out!

    "Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." Matthew 3:12

    Do you have the blood of Jesus Christ protecting your home? protecting the lintel of your door? 

    But the righteous shall be held blameless.

    Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? If not, or if you are not sure, say 'A Prayer For Salvation' below, out loud, and ask Jesus to forgive your for your sins. Accept Him and He will accept you! Amen.

    A Prayer For Salvation

    Heavenly Father, the living God, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ, Yeshua, Marvelous, Counsellor, Prince of Princes, King of Kings. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived. I ask for your forgiveness.

    I believe with all my heart and soul that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood and died for my sins, and rose again.

    I am now willing to turn from my sin, to repent.

    You said in the Bible, Your Holy Word, that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.

    Right now, I confess Jesus is my Lord and Savior, without which I am but sinful flesh. With all of my heart, I believe that our Heavenly Father, the living God, raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. 

    ​Hallelujah! Praise God! Amen!

    GOD'S SYSTEM OF TITHING

    THE HARVEST Bible Study Testimony

    "GOD'S SYSTEM OF TITHING" AUDIO BLOG

     

    ​Have you ever experienced God's government, His system on earth? He has one, you know, and it is marvelous, simply marvelous.


    SEED, PLANT, HARVEST: Prayer. Tithing. Offerings. First fruits. Meditation. Loving others the same as you love yourself. Reaping what you sow. Blessings and curses. And so much more!


    "For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made]. . ." Romans 1:20


    All of these things are real, and every choice we make has consequences in God's system: good consequences, or bad, depending upon what kind of seeds we plant, or choices we make.


    First, let's give all glory, honor, praise, and thanksgiving to God, our heavenly Father. Thank you, Father. Amen.

     

    GOD IS GREAT - ALL THE TIME! Hallelujah!


    The Bible, God's Holy Word, is amazing, and He wants us to understand it. "Call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not." Jeremiah 33:3


    As I have said in previous blogs, I began reading the Bible, beginning to end, around the middle of August this year. I am happy to report, I am up to Acts 18 now. Thank you, Jesus. God has given me many revelations during this time, many written pages of understanding, knowledge and wisdom, which He is gradually pulling together for me into one document. Praise God. Hallelujah!


    This blog is part of those revelations: God's System of Tithing.


    ​Thank you, Heavenly Father. Let your words flow through me, in Jesus' name. Amen.


    I used to wonder how God knew who was good and who was bad, kind of like Santa Claus. I mean, there are over 7 billion people in the world. How can He possibly see what everyone is doing all the time?


    Well, He can, and He does, because the very hairs of our head are all numbered Luke 7:12, but He does not need to see what every single human being is doing every second of every day, because He put a government in place, a system if you will. The whole system is quite amazing, just like Him Praise God, and it is based primarily on seed, plant, harvest. If you sow seeds of righteousness (love, kindness, charity (giving with a selfless and joyful heart), obedience to God), your fruit will be good, and your harvest bountiful. If you sow seeds of unrighteousness (discord, strife, evil thoughts, lies, gossip), your fruit will be bad, and your harvest will be lacking.


    I personally have my own experiences with God's system on earth. Thank you, Lord. One such instance is with tithing.


    First, though, what is tithing, and what does God say about it in His Word?


    GOD'S SYSTEM OF TITHING


    “Every year you shall certainly tithe [a tenth] of all the yield of your seed which is produced by your field." Deuteronomy 14:22 In modern times, men have grown accustomed to tithing (a tenth) of their income (since our main income is no longer that which is produced in our field), spread out weekly or monthly.


    And, Malachi 3, tells of God's System of Tithing, and the blessings or the curses, which can result therefrom.


    Malachi 3


    You Have Robbed God


    8 “Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings [you have withheld]. 


    9 You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, this whole nation! 


    10 Bring all the tithes (the tenth) into the [c]storehouse, so that there may be [d]food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says the Lord of hosts, “if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you [so great] a blessing until there is no more room to receive it. 


    11 Then I will rebuke the [e]devourer (insects, plague) for your sake and he will not destroy the fruits of the ground, nor will your vine in the field drop its grapes [before harvest],” says the Lord of hosts. 


    12 “All nations shall call you happy and blessed, for you shall be a land of delight,” says the Lord of hosts.""


    Footnotes: biblegateway.com


    (c) Malachi 3:10 In ancient times special storehouses were established in the temple to receive the tithes of the harvest. If the people were not faithful, the priests could not continue to serve and perform their duties.


    (d) Malachi 3:10 I.e. support for the priests and their families.


    (e) Malachi 3:11 In return for their faithfulness God promised protection for the harvest.


    The only time in God's Word, where we are told to 'test' Him: Malachi 3:10.


    He tells us specifically NOT to test Him, but this one time, regarding tithing, which is so important to care for and feed God's needy and poor children, we are told, "Test me now in this, if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you [so great] a blessing until there is no more room to receive it." Hallelujah! Amen!


    These are not just words. God's Word is alive! It is a living and active system! 


    "For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12


    So, last year, when the stimulus checks were given out, I had thought earnestly about tithing. As I was thinking about it earnestly, considering how much I would give, which I guess would have to be considered some form of prayer or meditation on God's Word in His eyes, a significant amount came to me, a number (this number is not exactly 10% of our monthly income, but it was what God wanted from us at that time). I mean, it was clear as day, this number that came to me.


    Long story short, Satan pushed it to the back of my mind, and I never tithed that amount, or any other amount. I had a short list of excuses to myself at the time as to why I did not, but in the end, they were just excuses. The truth has something to do with not having the faith of a mustard seed.


    Fast forward probably almost exactly one year later, and God is putting tithing on my heart again. Praise God! Amen! Again, I start earnestly thinking about it, considering how much I would give, and bam, the exact same amount, same number, came to me, clear as day. I don't know about you, but these things give me goosebumps. So, this time, having spent the last year in almost daily prayer with Him, and reading His Word daily, I immediately got out my checkbook and wrote a check for that exact amount, not one penny more and not one penny less.


    I was now listening to God, and I was going to execute His Will in our lives, precisely as instructed. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen!


    Now, we are not rich by any means. We are a one-income family, and this tithe was a bit of a sacrifice, Thank you, Jesus, for your ultimate blood sacrifice, but, in the past, I have seen God's system of tithing reap enormous rewards in my life, never wanting or having a shortage, when it could not have possibly been that way without God's brilliant system.


    That, together with the fact that when God tells you to do something (especially if He tells you TWICE), you might want to listen, so I wrote the check, and wrote it joyously, with a happy heart. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus.


    2 Corinthians 9


    6 "But this I say, He which sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully.


    7 Every man according as he purposes in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver.


    8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:"



    Sow your seeds with a giving and joyful heart, so that God's grace abounds toward you, and you always have all sufficiency in all things. 


    Now, you may be asking yourselves, if I knew firsthand the rewards of tithing, that it IS real, then how did I let Satan keep me from activating our blessings of tithing last year, by preventing me from listening to God's Will? Well, I guess my seed was like that which fell on the rock, in The Parable of the Sower: "They [the seeds] on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away." Luke 8:13


    Also, I just realized the next day, December 8, as if any more proof were needed (for me and hopefully some of you), my garden last year, for the first time since we moved into this house five years ago, was exactly what God said He would prevent in Malachi 3:11: "Then I will rebuke the devourer (insects, plague) for your sake and he will not destroy the fruits of the ground, nor will your vine in the field drop its grapes [before harvest] . . ." 


    Last year, for the first time, because I did not listen to God, my tomatoes fell off the vine while they were green, or the vine just withered with the green tomatoes still on it; same thing with many things we planted. Also, we planted 13 bare root fruit trees last year that ALL got Japanese beetles (the devourer). So, yep, my garden experienced everything Scripture said He would keep away if we tithed, just because I listened to Satan instead of God. You cannot make this stuff up. God is GREAT - ALL the time!


    He called, but I did not listen, and I got withered vines and Japanese beetles. 


    Isaiah 66:4


    "So I will choose their punishments,


    And will bring the things they dread upon them


    Because I called, but no one answered;


    I spoke, but they did not listen or obey . . .”


    How about you? Is God talking to you? Are you listening? 


    SEED, PLANT, HARVEST!


    As I told my grandson recently, always listen to the good voice in your head. The good and bad voices are real. They are a part of the system of free will, through seed, plant, harvest. Sow good seeds and reap a bountiful harvest.


    Satan [the bad voice] is always there, trying to tempt us, to give us bad seeds to sow, to keep us from our bountiful harvest, to pull us away from God's Will in our lives, and to take away our earthly and eternal rewards.


    So, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8 (the devourer Malachi 3:11 above)


    We know God does not tempt us, and we know that He will not allow us to be tempted more than we can withstand. "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13


    He gave us a way to withstand the wiles of the devil, to reap the full rewards of His system. The way we protect ourselves from Satan [the devourer] is with God's armor. We must wear the whole armor of God, not just to "withstand in the evil day," but every day, to protect our bountiful harvest, and other rewards in this life, as well as eternally.

    ​

    Ephesians 6 


    The Whole Armor of God


    13 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.


    14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;


    15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;


    16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.


    17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:"


    I pray that God's Will is done in your life today and every day. Keep God's Word hidden in your heart, so that you always hear Him calling. "Your word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11 Amen.


    Do not let sin win. Repent, turn away from it, activate God's system of bounty in your life. Change your hearts and show by the way you live that you have changed! Matthew 3:8


    Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus.


    Our Prayer Today: 


    When His disciples asked him to teach them how to pray, Jesus responded by saying, Pray in this manner (the Lord's Prayer) ​Matthew 6:9-13.


    The Lord's Prayer


    Matthew 6


    9 "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.


    10 Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.


    11 Give us this day our daily bread.


    12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.


    13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."



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