Division Leads to Desolation

Mat_12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

We live in a time here in the United States of America, that it is fashionable and accepted to be divided. I am not speaking of different points of view or opinions. I am speaking of a division that will cuase this once great nation of God to crumble and fall.

I know many will disgree but this nation was founded on the principles of the Bible. Down through history, ideas and laws have been changed. History itself has recorded prayer taking place in Congress, not to false gods but to the one true God, Jesus Christ. The prayer life of many of the founders of this nation has been recorded in history.

Looking at the words Jesus spoke, we see that He says a Kingdom divided agaisnt itself is brought to desolation. Looking in the Strong's concordance we see the word desolation defined as er-ay-mo'-o From G2048; to lay waste (literally or figuratively): - (bring to, make) desolate (-ion), come to nought.

The United States is dying. If we don't turn back to God, we will be laid waste. The leaders of this nation have lost their desire to know God and to do what is right in His eyes. They keep passing laws and putting burdens upon the citizens of this nation which we cannot bear. They take from those who have little and give to them which have much.

The EPA has been given so much power, it can shut down corporations at will. Men and women losing thier jobs because the EPA says so. A sad time indeed for coal miners and all other jobs they say hurt the environment.

The Church is in the same boat. We are so divided that we cannot get along with one another. I heard a Pastor saying, "We had a business meeting one day and it took 3 hours to decide whether to use 40 or 60 watt light bulbs." It is hard to believe that division can come from such a small thing but it happens. How can we decide important things when we have so much trouble with a simple thing?

If the Church does not unite, it will be laid to waste also. We have to come together in one accord before we can gain the victory over the principalities and powers of the world. the Word of God tells us what we need to do as believers in Christ.

2Ch 7:14 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. God was talking to the children of Israel at the time. They had gone astray after idols and God was dispelased with them. He was trying to turn tham back to Him.

First, we have to humble ourselves. The realization that we are nothing compared to God is humbling indeed. To be humble is only the start. We have to pray and seek the face of God, not His hands. Too many times we pray and ask for things we do not need. After we pray and seek Him, we must turn from our wicked ways. I know, maybe you don't think you are wicked or maybe you don't think you sin. The Bible tells us that, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

If we do what God told us to do, He will hear us in heaven and will forgive us and heal our land. We can blame the leaders of this nation for all that we go through but it falls upon the shoulders of the children of God. Jesus gives us power to become the sons and daughters of God.

Isaiah wrote, "If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land." (paraphrased) The church as a whole, seems to be eating the leftovers. We are eating from the fields that have already been harvested and are gleaning what little is left.

We must come together and fight against the enemy that so wishes to destroy us. Purpose it in your hearts right now to agree with me and pray and seek the face of God. Healing must come and it can only come from God Himself but it starts with us.

Just as the wind blew over the dry bones in Ezekiel, we need that same wind to come and revive us. We have lived a dead life long enough. it is time to rise up and fight the good fight of faith, i

n the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Trying to Outrun God

“But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa.”

- Jon_1:3

Have you ever run from the Lord? If so, did you outrun Him? Jonah ran from the Lord and wanted nothing to do with the task that God set before him. He was unable to outrun God. God knew where Jonah was and where he was going. He was going in the opposite direction that he was directed to go.

God could have just let him go but His love for Jonah was great and he went after him to put him back on the right track. There are times in our walks that we may go against the Word that God gives us and He pursues us to set us back on the right path. We may run out of fear of what might happen or out of our hatred for what we are asked to do.

We must hold to the scripture, "2Co_9:8 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: " God will not lead us to do something that He will not see us through to the end if we obey His voice.

Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness

“I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.”

- Isa_44:22

Imagine what it would be like if God remembered all of our transgressions. We would all be miserable wretches. We would all be lost and headed to the very hell that Satan and his angels are going to go to.

I thank God that He would love me so much that He gave His only begotten Son to me and that my transgressions are forgotten along with my sins. They have been "blotted out" by God Himself.

Thank you Jesus for the gift of grace and m

The Right Way

Pro 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

There are many people who believe they can make their own way to God. They believe they can climb the mountain of God with no problem at all.

A few years after the flood, man tried to build a tower that would reach to the heavens and eventually to the throne room of God. The tower of Babel is only a memory now as it did not come to completion. It proves man's inability to reach God without a mediator.

Jesus Christ is the mediator between man and God. There is no other and all who claim they are mediators are liars,

It is time to speak to the mediator and allow Him to enter into your heart. Now has the day of salvation come unto you.

Sin in the Heart

Many do not seem to understand, God destroyed the world with a flood because of the sin that was in the hearts of men. The Word of God says that the hearts of man was evil, continually. It means there was nothing good about what they thought or what they did.

Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. God still gave them space and time to repent. Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Noah preached for 120 years but they refused to listen.

Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because their sins came up before God. Gen 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

God always gives space to repent. No one is left out in the cold without a chance to make things right. God will take care of sin in one way or another. Those who choose to hold to their sin will be cast into the lake of fire. Those who repent and confess Jesus will be spared from the wrath to come.

Don't you think it is time to make things right with God? Repent of your sins and be saved from His wrath. There is no promise of tomorrow and we cannot know if we will still be here. There is no time like this time right now to give your life to the Lord.

Pride

Pro_16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

When pride takes over a person's spirit, they put themselves above God and His law. They are essentially saying, I am better than God.

This is what happened to Lucifer. Originally he was a light bearer in the Heavens but when pride rose up in him, he changed into a different creature. No longer does he praise God. No more worship of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is lost forever with no hope of redemption.

Pride destroys and pulls everyone it can get hold of down with it. The LGBT movement is called pride for a reason. They are proud of their lives and the way they do the things they do.

They believe they are right but God shows them to be lacking. Pride goes before destruction. Destruction is coming and is already here.

"Bell and Weinberg reported evidence of widespread sexual compulsion among homosexual men. 83% of the homosexual men surveyed estimated they had had sex with 50 or more partners in their lifetime, 43% estimated they had sex with 500 or more partners; 28% with 1,000 or more partners. Reference - Bell and Weinberg p 308"

No one can make me believe it is about love. It is and always has been about sex.

I am here to tell you, it is not too late. Jesus died for your sins as much as He did mine. There is not a single sin that He did not die for.

Many want to believe God is love, and He is. He is also a just God, full of righteousness. Judgment is coming and is here already. Do you want to be found lacking? Do you want to be separated from Him for all eternity? You don't have to be. he loves you more than you will ever know. Repent and give yourself to God and accept His Grace and Mercy.

Is Homosexuality Healthy?

The view that homosexuality is not a mental illness but is a healthy lifestyle is often given as the basis for changing the traditional Christian stance on homosexuality. But does science really show that homosexuality is healthy? This article will consider the findings of science.

Independence Day

In a few days, we will be celebrating the birth of the United States of America. Men and women have fought and died for the freedoms that we enjoy. Contrary to popular belief, the Founding Fathers of this nation founded it upon Christian Principles.

You can find quote upon quote by searching Google. The mention of God was not something to be ashamed of then and even today, should not be ashamed of. Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you." Who wants Jesus to be ashamed of them?

The freedoms we enjoy right now are under attack. The enemy has come in like a lion seeking whom he may devour. The passing of laws that legalize sin will destroy a nation. Not only laws but idols also.

This nation is on a downward spiral but those whose hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ, will be spared from the wrath to come. Judgment has come to the USA. We have been found lacking. Repent now before it is too late. Let the Lord Jesus Christ save you from your sins and the death that comes, for the wages of sin is death.

I know many will not read through all of this without rolling their eyes. Some will think I am full of delusion but that's OK. I still love you but even more importantly, Jesus loves you.

As the preacher said a few days ago, first there is the lie. At first the lie feels good but eventually, you want to get away from it. The person who believes the lie, will fall deeper and deeper into sin.

Finally, no matter what someone might say, no one wants to hear those three words at the judgment seat of God, "Depart from me." Hell is not a party place but I am positive many are praying there and seeking repentance but finding none. Once there, it is too late.

Just as the rich man lifted up his eyes in hell, many others will be there before you finish reading this. He wanted Abraham to send Lazarus back to warn his brothers to not come there. Abraham proclaimed that even though one would come back from the dead, they would not believe it. Jesus Christ proved it. He is the first and the last.
