Greetings and blessings to all of you. In the Book of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 it says, “there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven; a time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot; and time to kill and a time to heal; a time to tear down and a time to build; a time to weep and a time to laugh…” And time goes on. And guess who is in charge of time? God. It comes down to this. When we say that God is Sovereign, it means that he is the Master, and we are the servants. He is the Potter; we are the clay. He is the Vine; we are the branches. He is the Giver; we are the recipients/responders. So, in this climate of chaos, corruption, divisiveness and confusion… IT IS TIME to take a stand and let others know that you are the Body of Christ. And until God takes you home dead or alive you are here to be that salt and the light. We have recognized the insanity around us. We have seen how systematically our Christians values are being torn down along with America’s history including the statues of Americas heroes. And let us not forget the Constitution itself being replaced by a more liberal socialized policy. We see how our children are being spoon fed the doctrines of demons as the institution of education is being taken over by the radical left. But in the light of all the upcoming madness we must remember there is nothing new under the sun. It’s time to remember that Jesus is Risen and that the Sovereign Lord of the Universe is even now seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven. This is a time to live out our faith. We are currently living in times where they are calling good things evil and evil things good. (Isaiah 5:20) Jesus was born in turbulent times. It was a time of Roman oppression; personal freedom was only for the rich and powerful. Religious freedom during Jesus time was given to the Pharisees and Sadducees and other religious groups that went along with the government just to “get along”. Jesus and His followers knew it was THE TIME to call people out of the darkness and walk with Christ…. knowing they would be hated by the government. Regardless they lifted the cross of Christ high for everyone to see, and they proclaimed a NEW LIFE in His Name. Saints, it is time to make the Gospel message a Priority in the time that he has given each one of us.
With the Love of Christ
