If we continue in sin we slowly drift further and further away from the LORD until it is easier and easier to sin, and harder and harder to turn away from our sin!
Eventually if we don’t repent, the LORD will harden our hearts and turn away from us! He will leave us in our sin, if we refuse His call to repentance over and over!
We see this is Paul’s letter to the church at Rome!

Stand Without Compromise!
For decades now the world has been bombarded with the teaching and the false doctrines of man!
In the 80’s I first began to hear and read about humanism, and situational ethics. To my horror I saw one of the books I had learned that they were teaching children in schools on top of a filing cabinet in my son’s kindergarten classroom.

Jehovah Shammah!
Ezekiel was shown the city that the LORD promised to give to Israel after He restored them to their land!
The only mention of the Name that Ezekiel called this city is in the scripture below. In Hebrew it was — Yahweh Shammah, which means — The LORD is there!

Walk Not With the Wicked!
Who are the wicked? Those of the world who scoff at the Word of God, and those who call themselves His children but turn their backs on His commandments!
We are not to walk with either of these groups of people!
Psalm 1:1-2
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Hated By All!
Jesus was hated, rejected, and despised by the very ones He came to die for and save!
Isaiah spoke these Words about Jesus!
Isaiah 53:3
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.

Where Are The Watchmen?
The LORD is searching throughout the earth for those who would stand in the gap; for those who would cry out for the abominations in the earth!
He is searching for those who would mourn and grieve over their own sin and the sins of His own people!
Where are those watchmen who would warn of the judgements that will come for wickedness?

Saul's Anointing and Downfall!
To see the complete picture we must go back to where the people of the LORD demanded that He give them a king to rule over them like the nations around them had!
When the people of God refuse His Lordship, He gives them over to the desires of their flesh! They have to learn the hard way that it is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in a man!

Who Will You Serve?
We are faced with a question today — Who will we serve?
When the twelve spies were sent into to check out the land the LORD had promised them, all but two came back with a report that the inhabitants of the land were too great for them to defeat!
The LORD had just spent years showing His people His mighty hand of deliverance over and over again, yet these men cowered in fear!
Because of their unbelief all of the men twenty and older would not be allowed to enter into the land!

The Race Is Not To The Swift!
Was Solomon being cynical when he said this, or is it true that our lives are affected by circumstances beyond our control; and by chance?
Ecclesiastes 9:11
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

When The Judgments Of The LORD Are In The Earth, The World Will Learn Righteousness!
Isaiah 26:9
With my soul have I desired Thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek Thee early: for when Thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

Bless Those Who Curse You!
We are asked to do that which goes against human nature. The LORD requires of us that instead of returning evil for evil, or cursing for cursing, that we bless those who curse and persecute us!
Romans 12:14
Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
The LORD goes even further than blessing them with our words; He requires that we do good to them!

Does God Need Our Help?
Our Omnipotent, Sovereign and Wise Creator does not need the assistance of man for His purposes to be fulfilled!
In Ezekiel we see the LORD searching the earth for someone who would stand in the gap for the land, and there was no one found!

The Wheat! 🌾
Recently I had a dream where I was presented a bouquet by a recently departed friend. This wasn’t your normal bouquet of flowers, but a few strands of wheat tied with a ribbon!
I prayed about what this might mean, if the LORD indeed had given me this dream! I felt it must be from Him as it was so random!
I went to the Word to read again scriptures about wheat. The Word tells us that His children are wheat!

The Puzzle!
Recently I purchased an old 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle at an estate sale. It had never been opened and was factory sealed!
Since I’ve been online less and had more free time I decided to get it out and start it. It became a family project!
I sorted out all the edge pieces and grouped pieces by color the best I could, but we kept looking at the photo on the box and it didn’t look right, and there was no picture printed on a paper inside like puzzles today contain.

If The Foundations Are Destroyed!
How do I even begin? The Lord has been preparing me for this time for a long time now. I thought I was prepared, I thought my eyes were fully on Him.
I didn’t think I would be shaken like I have if something like what I’m experiencing now were to happen.
Let me go back and paint the picture of where I’ve been, to clearly show where I am now.

Beware Of Those Speaking Great Swelling Words!
I believe we are living in the last days! If we are, it’s so very important to look to the Word of God for guidance through this time!
We are told that it will be a time of great deception. There have always been antichrists, but one will arise speaking great swelling words, and will deceive many!
In order to deceive believers, this man must appear to be like Christ!

Is Your Heart Lifted Up In The Ways Of The LORD?
Righteousness exalts a person and a nation!
Proverbs 14:34
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Let’s look today at the life of Jehoshaphat, and what his life teaches us about trusting in the LORD!
2 Chronicles 17:3-6
And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;

1/ When I bring up my concerns about President Trump changing the 2024 Republican platform and removing all but late term abortion, and all references to Biblical marriage between a man and woman, I’m told — He’s not running for pastor, but President!
@realDonaldTrump
2/ Can a man who says he’s a Christian separate his Christianity from his policies? He didn’t do so publicly in 2016!
Rather, in order to get the endorsement and votes from values voters like myself, he promised to abide by the conservative, Biblically based 2016 platform!

Ungodly Counsel!
Woe unto those who say they are the children of Almighty God, that take counsel, but not of Him!
Isaiah 30:1-3
Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of Me; and that cover with a covering, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

What Kind Of Fruit Are You Bearing?
The Word of God says that we will be known by the fruit we bear!
What kind of fruit are you bearing?
Jacob spoke these Words over his son, Joseph about the fruit he would bear even while being attacked by those who hated him.
Genesis 49:22-26
Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:

His Prayers For Us!
Sometimes in life it will feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders! David experienced this, as did so many others we read about in God’s Word!
Psalm 42:5
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.
