God-Beings in the Making!
Jesus was sent to Earth to deliver a Message to mankind. A startling message from Outer Space - the third Heaven - from our CREATOR GOD. A correct understanding of what that REVELATION is - the one and only true Gospel - separates God's Church from...
Hitler Was A Catholic?
WOTAN: You might say Wagner was an Ultra-Christian and yet his 'Ring' tells of the people that also created Valhalla in legend. You have to go on a search as Hitler had his archaeologists do - looking for Agarthe. There the Valkyrie of Wagner speak...
Hypocrites Enjoying The Freedom Of Religion
In my last article "Listen My Children And You Shall Hear," I purposely imposed a situation where I included all Christians as the enemy in the battle for a society based on freedom for all. I received a few responses that anyone would expect to...
The Apolitic Nature of Revelations pt 2.
The Apolitic Nature of The Revelations pt 2. Lets look a Rev. 1:1 a little closer. There are four diferent things being said in this one verse. 1.”The Revelation of Jesus Christ.” This phrase is a continuance of what Jesus had told us in Mar 13:32...
The Rise And Fall Of Babylon
According to the Book of Revelations, the city of Babylon has to be rebuilt once again. This is another key event for everyone to really keep an eye on. Prophecy scholars are divided in their opinion as to whether or not the city of Babylon will...

An Opportunity to Turn
An Opportunity to Turn Tragedy into Triumph
(9-11)
Having previously warned several preachers that God was angry, there was no positive response. Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily ... (Ec. 8:11), none believed.
To whom much has been given, much shall be required. That means you, America. Drugs, violence, families torn apart, financial ruin ... we have been experiencing personal earth quakes for quite some time, while the church slept on.
One lady said she heard someone on TV ask, "What did we do to deserve this?" And as soon as she heard the question, the answer came. As a result of God's response to her, this lady said, "In past tragedies, America was shaken. This time, we got spanked."
If only by the candidates they choose; New York City supports such things as abortion, in a more unified way. Others shed spiritual blood in less visible ways: attacking whatever they do not understand, thinking it the will of God to separate from everything not like them, not allowing people to serve as God calls them, etc.). To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not (La. 3:36). Blood for blood (Ge. 9:6), the moon will turn to blood (Ps. 89:37, Ez. 33:4); if that is what it takes. Every knee shall bow.
Tragedy reminds us of the important things in life and draws us to unity that would otherwise never be. It causes us to get on our knees and look up. The center of our earth shook. The land quaked ... this time, in a way that no one could ignore.
Those involved in internet ministry have withstood the gates of hell to go to the highways and hedges, and against criticism from without and within. One person suggested that the church just received their wake-up call.
Having asked God how many prophecies had to come to pass, He said, "As many as it takes."
Signing petitions will not make our world better. Neither will hanging flags or lighting candles
(even though we do so because we care). Though, if we really want to make a difference, we can start believing that God meant what He said.
Consider who might be on your throne. Is your opinion the ultimate authority? How about your religion? Or, your preacher? Or, maybe a church committee? Even your mate? Your children? Friends?
God wants His throne back; the throne of our heart. It is really that simple. The Kingdom of God comes not with observation; not from memorizing every verse of scripture or from being the perfect example either.
God gets lonely, too. More than anything we could possibly offer God, He desires an intimate relationship with us. Do we get our daily walk from a book of dead laws or from a Living God who walks and talks with us? God will come down and dwell with us once He is welcomed.
-=*=- -=*=- -=*=-
While it is never God's will for people to hurt people, anger is of concern in that ~ as long as we place blame elsewhere, we miss the ultimate truth that 'we did it to ourselves'.
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land," II Ch. 7:14.
God wants to love us in ways we never dreamed. But, He can only do so once He has first place. Let us not wait for another tragedy.
