Expect a "Covenant With Many" to Appear Soon

It has become very apparent that the year 2020 brought about a "spiritual shift", if you will. Since that time, the world has virtually been spiraling toward the events that are outlined in the Book of Revelation. Bible Prophets have been warning the world for several millennia about the widespread corruption and evil that has become extremely prominent in our day. It's amazing to watch as all these events are all coming together exactly as God's Word tells us it will. Friends...this is NOT a time to be complacent! It is a time when we need to be watching, praying and growing in our faith like never before. The road is going to get really bumpy for a while, and other such extreme events are sure to become evident as we come closer to the 7-year Covenant or Treaty that Daniel speaks of. Jesus said these days will be like in the days of Noah...for most people, life will go on as usual. Don't allow yourself to be drawn into that place of complacency...Draw near to God now!

"Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the desolate.”
(Daniel 9:27)

Operating Within The Body of Christ

 

“For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.” (Romans 12:3-5) 

This is a picture we all need to grasp firmly in our hearts as we strive for excellence in the service of our Lord and Savior. The Apostle Paul received a revelation of the operation of the Church as a whole. He envisioned us as a body with different members much like our fleshly body has different members, yet no member being more important to the total function, makeup and operation than the others. Just as our hand has a different function than our foot, we would not say that one is of greater importance to our physical body, but each has its own purpose. Each part is essential for the proper operation of the body. We would not say that, because it is not seen or it isn’t attractive to the eye, that the heart is of no value to the body. Now that would be absurd! So it is with the body of Christ, the Church. 

Beware of False Prophets

 

I don't care what the person feels or what they think God told them, if the "prophecy" you are hearing does not line up with God's Word, it is a FALSE Prophecy and that person is a FALSE Prophet... a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing! God NEVER speaks anything that against His Written Word... The Bible! Jesus IS The Word, and God's Word is complete Truth from Cover to Cover!

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves."(Matthew 7:15) 

A Prayer for God's People

Open the eyes of Your people Lord and give us a hunger and a thirst for Truth! There is so much deception in this world...there is so much corruption in this world and we know that You have warned us of a great deception and apostasy that will take place all over the world, and Lord we are seeing that happening even now. Lord please... open our eyes that we might discern Truth...that we might understand that many things are not as they appear to be. Lord, You said in Your Word that in the Last Days, there would be "signs and lying wonders" performed by the lawless one, and even now, we can see that many things are not as they appear to be on the surface. It seems as though we are watching a performance and they are acting out a part for the camera...and the age of the internet and artificial intelligence has made many things that are not real appear as though they are. We cannot just take our leaders' or the media's word for how events in the world are unfolding...we MUST stay close to You so that we can have clarity of vision, sound thinking and clear direction. Help us Father, as we are quickly moving closer toward those things that you have warned us about in Your Word, and will see a time when we need You more than ever before. We love you Father and we praise Your Holy Name! In Jesus Name we pray! Amen...

"The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved." (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10)

Pray for The Peace of Jerusalem

We are told to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem", and we should. But scripture is clear that TRUE peace will not come to Jerusalem or the world until "The Prince of Peace", Jesus Christ, is reigning and ruling from there for 1,000 years. But we do need to pay close attention to what's going on there now, because Jerusalem will be at the center of all things during the last of the Last Days! America's election is not the center of the universe and much of what you are seeing now is a smoke screen! This war in Israel will escalate until a multi-nation alliance is formed and they will broker a "covenant with many" that will include a solution to this war. I believe this alliance is in the process of being formed even now. And afterward, a world leader will arise from this alliance who will confirm that covenant for 7 years. This is the next major sign we need to be watching for. This is not the time to be slumbering...this is the time to be WIDE AWAKE and paying close attention!

"Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;

But in the middle of the week

He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.

And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,

Even until the consummation, which is determined,

Is poured out on the desolate."

(Daniel 9:27)

You Need it ALL!

You can't skip around in the Bible and take a scripture here and a verse there and expect to find out what it actually means. First you have to release all preconceived ideas and beliefs of what you have heard in the past, and then you have to read the Bible, book by book, chapter by chapter and verse by verse and read the entirety of the book and stop to think about and pray over the scriptures as you read. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you God's Word and to reveal Truth to you as you read. You will be amazed at what you will learn and how much the Holy Spirit is capable of teaching you and guiding you into all truth.

"However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come." (John 16:13)

A Year of Global Chaos...

I'm sensing in my spirit that 2025 is going to be a year of drastic change in countries and nations all over the world as the world moves closer to the events outlined in God's prophetic timeline and spiraling toward the things prophesied in scripture. And friends, it really doesn't matter who ends up in the Whitehouse...it isn't a right vs. left situation! You can be certain that God's Word WILL come to pass exactly as He has said it will happen and nothing our leaders will do or not do can change that. The things that God has prophesied, He has already seen from the beginning and He is reporting to us through the Apostle John and others exactly what He KNOWS will take place. The birth pains are becoming VERY intense, and NOTHING can stop what God has proclaimed! OUR job is simply to pay attention and be prepared to trust completely in the power of God and His provisions and protection for His children. God is faithful!

“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!" (Matthew 24:32-33)

 

God's Judgement is Coming

Noah must have gotten so discouraged trying for 100 years to warn people that a flood (God's judgement) was coming and they just ignored him and went right on with life as usual. Same is happening today... God's Watchers keep trying to warn people that God's judgement is coming and they just keep going on with life as usual. And Jesus told us this would happen...

"But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." (Matthew 24:37-39)

Heed the Warnings...

“But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” (Daniel 12:4)

Even 20 years ago, we could not have imagined what would be taking place today with Artificial Intelligence and the invention of the Neuralink. The Bible warns us in the last days knowledge will increase, and we are seeing rapid increase in technology today like no other time in history. Friends, there has never been a time when the signs that are clearly outlined in scripture are more evident. As we see the rapid changes taking place all over the world, let us become aware of what God tells us will happen and prepare ourselves for it's inevitable coming to pass. We are MUCH closer than most people realize! It's definitely NOT a time to be sleeping...we must wake ourselves from our slumber and beware!

Learning How to Mature Spiritually

“Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."             ( Jeremiah 29:12-13 ) 

One of the most frequent questions I am asked is how can a person learn more about God, or how can they get closer to God. Often times they ask me to teach them about God. Now I am a Bible Teacher, but I cannot grow them spiritually. Each person must take responsibility for their own spiritual growth, and I only have one answer for them...you must spend lots of time with God and seek Him with all your heart...personally. There is no shortcut! Spending time in His presence is the only way. Think about this...what you are actually doing is building a relationship with the Creator of the Universe. That is no small matter and it doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time...it takes effort...it takes discipline.

The Deception is Increasing...

If you think that the things you are seeing and hearing in the news and around the world are by accident, you are mistaken. Jesus warned His Disciples over and over about the massive corruption and deception that would be prevalent in the Last Days, and so much of what we are being told and what we are seeing on TV and in social media are merely a slight of the hand...a twist of truth if you will...camera tricks. Friends...if the things you are hearing just don't make any sense, or seem highly unbelievable and the "facts" just don't add up...that could well be because much of it is not real!

We have major conflicts going on in two different parts of the world right now, and billions of US dollars that ordinary people work hard to earn are being poured into the war efforts, and many innocent people are dying in all of the wars. There are also political events going on at the same time in many different countries...and we are told to believe whatever they tell us is real with all of that. The truth is that today, the media can tell people anything they want them to believe and produce the video footage to prove it. But much of that is manipulated...the stories are twisted...and there is so much that we are NOT told. It all leaves so many unanswered questions...but most people are just too busy, or too uninterested to even ask the questions.

But what we do know is that soon, God is going to sort out all the lies, the manipulation and the deception that is happening. He will make everything right and He will bring peace and truth to the world again. But what we need to be careful about is that we do allow ourselves to believe the lies that are being spread, and that we are not deceived by any of it. That will be a huge challenge for every Christian as we come closer to the end of the age.

Wise Advice for Single Women

Ladies, if he doesn't love Jesus more than he loves you, then you really don't want to commit your life to him. His infatuation for you will falter over time if he doesn't have a solid foundation in his life. With Jesus, he will know that he is to love you as Christ loves the Church and gave Himself for her. And your husband will be able to love you sacrificially in that way too. So make sure he loves Jesus most of all and prays with you and read the Bible with you. Then you will have a marriage that will last!

The Apostasy...

When the Bible talks about the Apostasy that must come before the rapture, I believe it's not just that Believers will turn completely away from and deny the faith, but many will turn to false doctrines, false teachings, false prophecy and false teachers which denies the complete truth of God's Word. Many churches today will not teach certain subjects because they are not comfortable and they may lose some church members if they start preaching about things that are not popular for fear of offending people. There are also many churches that preach and teach "partial truths" but they add to or take away from scripture so that the doctrine they will lead people to believe false teachings. The only way to avoid turning away from the Truth of God's Word is to read and study God's Word so you will know the Truth from a lie. That will keep you from being deceived and led to deny the Gospel.

"Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits [c]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God." (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4)

Trust Him!

 

When you're in that place where you really don't know what your future holds or which way to go, just wait on the Lord. He's already gone before you and worked out all the details for you. All you need to do is follow His directions and trust Him!

The Abundant Life

“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” 

(John 10:10b)

Abundant life seems to be the topic of many conversations these days, whether it is in a worldly sense, or in the lives of the Believers in Christ. But the problem is that most people consider abundance in a monetary sense only, while others add to it status and material possessions. Where riches and prosperity are mentioned in the Word of God, there are those who consider only the treasures which are accumulated upon the earth. But today, I want to look at abundance in a different light…the Light of God’s Word. 

Jesus said in Luke 12-15, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” In this passage, He is purposely turning our eyes off the material and temporal things of this life and focusing our attention on the eternal. A great way to measure the value we place on things is to ask ourselves, “where does it stand in light of eternity? Will it last, or will it also come to nothing?”

Trusting in the Faithfulness of God

When we read the Word of God, we find that people have always suffered trials in their lives. We can look at the lives of some of God’s greatest men and women of old, and we know that they went through great pains and suffering, both in their personal lives and in their ministries. We think of people like Noah who was the ONLY righteous man alive during his time on earth. Imagine how difficult that was for him. Abraham followed God even though he did not know where God might lead him or what he may encounter in his life. Moses suffered great times of trial, even though he walked in obedience to God as he led God’s people through the wilderness. To Daniel, God was faithful when he was thrown in the lion’s den...and to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego as they faced the fiery furnace. When the king looked into the fire, he saw that “a 4^th man” was there to deliver them, even in that difficult time. To Paul, as he endured prison and persecution wherever he went, and to the Apostle John as he was exiled on the Isle of Patmos for the sake of the Gospel, God was faithful. He used that time of persecution to reveal His plan for the end of the age that we are experiencing even now. God will work ALL things together for good...if we will learn how to allow His purpose to be fulfilled through us...even during times of difficulty.

The Changed Heart

I want to share with you today a portion of scripture that I hope will change your life forever. In the 19^th chapter of the book of Luke, verses 1-10 reads:

“Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully. But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, “He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.” 

Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.” 

And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:1-10)
