Beware of Deception and Corruption in These Last Days:


I can tell you Friends, that the days of taking people at their word is over. Everywhere you look there are scammers who are looking to sue you, or trick you or take your money, and you have to be on the look-out for them ALL THE TIME. And sometimes, no matter how intelligent we are or how much information we have or even how careful we are, we get scammed. Friends Jesus said the end times will be fraught with deception and corruption...and we are DEFINITELY living in that time. What I want to tell you is to go into every situation with caution! Watch your back, verify everything, question everything and if something SOUNDS too good to be true, assume it is a scam! AND...NEVER NEVER NEVER let anyone into your computer, your phone or your into your bank account. It's very easy for them to steal your life savings without your knowledge and scam you out of everything you own. They will scam you and they will scam your insurance company by lying and pretending. BEWARE...we are living in the days that the Bible warned us about of GREAT corruption and deception. It's time to WAKE UP!

Each of Us Will Give an Account to God

One thing I know, when the Apostles began the Early Church, they were completely turning their world upside-down with the Gospel all over the known world. It brought them pain and persecution, but they continued to do it anyway. Why did they do that in spite of the hardships they endured? It was because they KNEW beyond a doubt that the Message they were preaching had the power to change the lives of those who heard it and if those people would receive the Truth, it would set them free and give them eternal life! And THAT was more important than their comfort, more important than their safety and even more important than their lives. AND because they were determined to fulfill the Command of Jesus in their lives, every one of them except John died at the hands of vicious people, and even he suffered unbearable persecution.

 And yet I have met so many Christians today who have never in their lives shared the Gospel with even one person. Some people have been Christians for 30, 40 or 50 years and have never...not one time...told anyone about the Good News that could change their lives forever! Friends...we are doing something very wrong, because we declare that we love the Lord, we pray that God would heal our sicknesses, we thank Him for giving us eternal life, we go to church every Sunday...and yet in spite of the direct command from Jesus Himself to go into all the world and preach the Gospel, we continue to ignore Him...in fact, we completely disobey Him. And because we don't do what we are commanded to do, people all over the world are dying every day and will one day stand before God to give an account for their lives. AND not only will they give an account for their lives...so will we. Think about it Friends...how will you answer to God when you need to explain why you never shared The Gospel, that is the power God unto Salvation, with anyone??? What will you say?

 

What Would I Do Different?

As I get older and look back on my life, of course there are many things I would change if I could. The advice I would give to my younger self would be this: Surrender to Jesus at an early age, read and study Life's Instruction Book (The Bible) every day, obey God's Word diligently and listen intently to the still small voice when He speaks.

Learning to honor God in my teens and carrying that virtue for my whole life would have saved me a lot of heartache and pain, but it was going through the pain that I've learned life's most difficult and valuable lessons and they sent me running to my Lord and Savior every day to build a stronger faith to Trust in His goodness and grace always in my life. So that would be my advice to YOU today Friend.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

God's Got This...


Even when things look hopeless and out of control...we can take comfort in the fact that God's still on His Throne and He has a plan to bring about victory in the lives of His children. We may not see it in our lifetime, but we can rest in His powerful promises and we can know that He will keep each and every one of them!

The Bible Tells of the Days in Which We are Living...

Throughout Biblical History, the days in which we are living have been prophesied. We see it in the messages sent to the Prophets in the Old Testament, we see it in the words of Jesus Himself as He walked upon the earth, and we see it in the letters or epistles written by the Apostles, and especially in the Revelation given to the Apostle John as he was exiled on the Isle of Patmos for the testimony of his faith. Men and women of God have look toward these times with great anticipation, knowing that before long we would be seeing the King of Kings and the Lord of Lord...face to face. It's an exciting time Friends, but please be aware that along with the anticipation and excitement, we need to also know that there will be times of great trial between now and then...and we MUST be prepared.

As Jesus outlined for us the signs that we need to be looking for, please don't overlook the ones that are taking place before our eyes right now. We are seeing the wars and rumors of wars, we are seeing the pestilences, we are seeing many earthquakes and various weather events taking place. We are seeing technology taking the world to a place of no turning back with Artificial Intelligence, genetic mutation, cloning, and many other things that have never been possible before our time. We are also seeing a massive amount of confusion taking place...things that we know are good are now being called evil, and the things we know are evil are being paraded around as good.

Please Friends...open your eyes and observe those things that Jesus warned us about in scripture. It's imperative that we understand so that we can remain in prayer and we can seek the Lord for His direction to navigate these difficult times. And also...let's be about the Father's business more than ever before, because many will be lost, and it's our responsibility to warn them. God bless each of you Friends...and stay close to Jesus!

How to Overcome Sin That Breaks Your Heart

If you've got a sin in your life that you just can't get over and it breaks your heart...all you need to do is repent. Tell God you're sorry from your heart and ask Him to give you strength to get past it and assurance that you are forgiven, and He will do it. God loves you so much that He gave His Son to die for ALL your sins and all He asks of you is a repentant heart and to allow Jesus to be your Savior and Lord.
 

Why America is Weak

If we want to know why America has become spiritually weak and the powers of darkness are overtaking the nation, there is ONE reason for that dilemma, and the reason is because Christians have stopped praying in the power of the Holy Spirit. When Christians will begin once again to concentrate on spiritual warfare and praying against the powers of darkness that have risen over this nation, then we will begin to see victories and spiritual breakthroughs taking place and we will see the lives of many people turned from darkness to light.
 

Putting Your Hand to the Plow

One of the biggest reasons why people fail in their goals is because they lack commitment ...that declaration in their own hearts that they will complete the task, whatever it is, no matter what. In marriage, in business, in ministry...when the going gets tough, inconvenient or no longer exciting...people will quit, they will slack off, or they will walk away. My father used to tell me, if a thing is worth doing, it's worth doing right, and that is true for anything you begin. If you expect to reap the benefits of that goal, you MUST stick to it, no matter what!
"But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:62)

7 Characteristics of a Relevant Church

 If you are a pastor or a church leader and you want to build a ministry that will reach this generation, these are the 7 Characteristics of a Relevant Church that you need to concentrate on:

1. Deep Prayer Life (relationship with God)
2. Strong Biblical Teaching (fresh Word from God)
3. Good Discipleship Program (teaching to grow in God's Word)
4. Spirit-filled Worship (inviting the presence of God)
5. Building strong relationships (true fellowship/accountability)
6. Community Outreach & Service (building a Godly reputation)
7. Strong World Missions Emphasis (world awareness)


Doing the Will of God

The reason most people never fulfill the purpose of God in their lives is not because they didn't hear God when He called them, but because they DID hear Him call and they refused to obey Him, and then they wanted God to give them a different plan that they would like better. God doesn't work that way! He is looking for willing and obedient hearts that are totally 100% surrendered to do His will in His time in His way!
