Greetings and blessings to all of you. We are in a health crisis. It has unleashed a near panic in our nation. Many wonder is this the “signs of the times?” God talks about birth pains. He said there will be wars, and rumors of wars. We have them now. Check the news concerning Iran, Korea, and Russia. God said we will have pestilence. Well, we now are dealing with the coronavirus. He also said the world will suffer famine…take a look at Africa, the Caribbean and SE Asia. What about fires, floods, the prevalence of evil., the ever-increasing selfishness, godlessness and corruption. Look at your relationships at home and at your work sites, recall an interaction at the store, listen to the media. Do you agree that these things have increased? We are indeed experiencing end times prophecy more so than any generation in history. God never lies. Therefore, when we read in the Bible. “but you must obey the Lord your God by keeping all his commands and rules that are written in this Book of the Teachings (the Bible).” “This command I give you today is not too hard for you; it is not beyond what you can do. It is not up in heaven. You do not have to ask “Who will go up to heaven to get it for us so we can obey it and keep it?” ……No, the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.” Deut. 30: 10-14
God is a God that can be trusted. And we do not have to have a massive amount of faith to do just that. “the apostles said to the Lord, “Give us more faith!” The Lord said, “If your faith is as big as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, Dig yourself up and plant yourself in the ocean!” And the tree will obey you.” Luke 17:5,6 We have been given enough faith to do the seemingly radical things Jesus calls us to do. But Christians and the nation have chose to play it safe; NOT LISTEN AND DISOBEY GOD. The Christians have a lifestyle very similar to the unsaved. The nation has sanctioned abortions as legal, they have taken the Bible out of the schools and brought in the teaching of transgender (sex education) among other distasteful things that God abhors. I assert that there are consequences for our behavior. So let us all REPENT and turn back to God and His teachings.
With the Love of Christ
