America's Downfall!

God is Sovereign! This is an important reality to remember

As we watch God bring to a conclusion this Age; the conclusion of “Time.”

Satan rules those who give him rule

And that is all those who refuse The Great Salvation offered by Christ Jesus.

We also must realize that there are many “weeds”

Among those who claim the Name of Christ.

Nevertheless, Satan is on God's “leash;”

He can do nothing that is not allowed by God.

This can clearly be seen in the first chapter of the Book of Job.

Everyone Meant For Salvation Will Be Saved

There will not be one who is missing.

Every person is given by God the opportunity to say yes to Him

God is constantly drawing people to His Son, Christ Jesus,

And no one comes to Christ Jesus who is not drawn by the Father.

He will be doing this “drawing”

Until the Holy Spirit is removed from the earth;

When the Bride of Christ is taken into the desert.

God Has Done Everything Possible For Mankind

And His Vineyard

God is no respecter of persons;

Every person is given the opportunity to receive Christ Jesus.

God is the God of extremes.

Christ Jesus did an extreme work on the cross of Calvary.

God's pursuit of every person is equally extreme; it is relentless.

Nevertheless, each person is given the opportunity to choose.

On Judgment Day when Christ causes each person's life to flash before them

In a moment, there will be no argument;

Each person sent to Hell will be silent,

Knowing that they were given every opportunity to say yes to Christ Jesus.

Listen To The Apostle Paul:

The wrath of God is being revealed from Heaven against all the godlessness

And wickedness of men who suppress the TRUTH by their wickedness,

Since what may be known about God is plain to them.

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—

His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen,

Being understood from what has been made,

So that men are without excuse.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God,

Nor gave thanks to Him,

But their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

And exchanged the glory of the immortal God

For images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals an reptiles.

Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts

To sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.

They exchanged the TRUTH of God for a LIE,

And worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--

Who is forever praised. Amen.

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts.

Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women

And were inflamed with lust for one another.

Men committed indecent acts with other men,

And received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile

To retain the knowledge of God,

He gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

They have become filled with every kind of wickedness,

Evil, greed and depravity.

They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice.

They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful;

They invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;

They are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

Although they know God's righteous decree

That those who do such things deserve death,

They not only continue to do these very things

But also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:18-32)

The Wrath Of God Is Being Revealed Against America

Today, the wrath of God is being revealed against America

And its godlessness.

America is being ground to powder because of its godlessness.

The government of America is spiting in the face of God.

The people of America are responsible for electing godless people

To rule them; people just like themselves.

These people know the TRUTH but suppress it by their wickedness.

Since what may be known about God is plain to them.

God's eternal power and divine nature are clearly seen by them;

All of creation speaks for God, so that America is without excuse!

America knows God, but will not glorify Him as God;

She will not give thanks to Him;

America's thinking has become futile and her foolish heart darkened.

Although America claims to be wise, she has become a fool

And exchanged the glory of the immortal God

For “images” of her own making.

Therefore God has given America over in the sinful desires of her heart;

Her people given over to sexual impurity

For the degrading of their bodies with one another.

They exchanged the TRUTH of God for a LIE,

And worship and serve created things rather than the Creator--

Who is forever praised. Amen.

Because of this, God gave Americans over to shameful lusts.

Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

In the same way the men also abandon natural relations with women

And are inflamed with lust for one another.

Men commit indecent acts with other men,

And received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Furthermore, since Americans did not think it worthwhile

To retain the knowledge of God,

He gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

They have become filled with every kind of wickedness,

Evil, greed and depravity.

American's are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice.

They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful;

They invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;

They are senseless,faithless, heartless, ruthless.

Although they know God's righteous decree

That those who do such things deserve death,

They not only continue to do these very things

But also approve of those who practice them.

What is the outcome of all this; it is disaster for America and its people

Who have forsaken God for a bowl of secular soup.

They are deceived by the deceiver and they deceive one another.

The President of United States of America is anti-Christ by his actions.

The Government of the USA is anti-Christ by its laws and actions.

The Justice System of the USA is anti-Christ by its judgments.

The Public Education System of the USA is anti-Christ by its teaching.

The Church of God does not teach the Whole Word of God.

This has caused the wrath of God to be brought to bear against America.

America is being ground to powder because of her wickedness.

Her wealth is withering away.

Her military is being rendered impotent.

America is hopeless unless she turns to God in repentance!

My prayer is that she does; that each person in America would choose Christ.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

The Passion Of The Bride Of Christ!

(A paraphrase from the Song of Solomon)

I BELONG TO YOU MY KING

MY DESIRE IS FOR YOU ALONE

PLACE ME LIKE A SEAL OVER YOUR HEART

LIKE A BRAND UPON YOUR ARM

FOR MY LOVE FOR YOU IS AS STRONG AS DEATH

IT BURNS LIKE A BLAZING FIRE

AN OCEAN OF WATER CANNOT QUENCH MY LOVE

A RIVER CANNOT WASH IT AWAY

ALL THE WEALTH OF THIS WORLD

IS AS NOTHING COMPARED TO OUR LOVE

EVERY DELICACY BOTH NEW AND OLD

I HAVE STORED UP FOR YOU MY LOVE

FOR MY LOVE FOR YOU IS AS STRONG AS DEATH

IT BURNS LIKE A BLAZING FIRE

AN OCEAN OF WATER CANNOT QUENCH MY LOVE

A RIVER CANNOT WASH IT AWAY

COME AWAY WITH ME MY LOVER MY FRIEND

LET ME BE YOUR COMPLETE CONTENTMENT

This song from the Song of Solomon

Describes the love of The Bride Of Christ

For Her Bridegroom, Christ Jesus.

This is the passion of the Bride Of Christ that overcomes the world

And the evil one who rules it.

This is the passion that will prevent The Bride Of Christ

From being swept away with The Great Delusion

That God sends to the unbelieving world;

The Great Delusion that is so strong that it would deceive even the Elect

If that were possible; But it is not possible

Because the Elect is the Bride Of Christ;

She knows the voice of Her Bridegroom and will not listen to another.

Even today She is making Herself ready as the five virgins were ready.

Understand this, there were five of ten virgins

Who were not ready to meet the Bridegroom; they did not have sufficient oil.

When they came to the door and pleaded with the Bridegroom

He told them He did not know them and the door was not opened for them.

Today, is the time to make yourself ready to meet Christ Jesus.

The door will be opened, only to those who are ready:

To those who have been crucified with Christ to this world

And no longer live but it is Christ who lives in them.

This life that they now live, they live by faith in the Son of God

And His power at work in them.

They have set their hearts on things above,

Their lives are hidden with Christ in God

They have clothed themselves with the garments of Christ

And let His Word dwell richly in them.

A great and wondrous sign appeared in Heaven:

A Woman clothed with the Sun, with the moon under Her feet

And a crown of twelve stars on Her head. (Revelation 12:1)

For the Wedding of the Lamb has come,

And His Bride has made Herself ready.

Fine linen, bright and clean, was given Her to wear.

(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)

Then the angel said to me,

'Write: Blessed are those

Who are invited to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb!

These are the true words of God.' (Revelation 19:7-8)

Today, The Bride Of Christ is making Herself ready.

She is intoxicated with the Anointing of the Anointed One;

She is worshiping Her God in Spirit and in TRUTH.

Today, She is crying out along with the Spirit of God:

'Come!' And let him who hears say, 'Come!'

Whoever is thirsty, let him come; And whoever wishes,

Let him take the free gift of the Water of LIFE. (Revelation 22:17)

Who will answer this call? All those with ears to hear!

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

America's Famine Of TRUTH!

(Amos 8, substituting America for Israel)

Thus the Lord God showed to me:

Behold, a basket of [ripe and therefore soon-to-perish ] summer fruit.

And He said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit.

Then said the Lord to me, the END has come upon My people America;

I will not pass by and spare them any more.

And the songs of the Temple shall become wailings in that day,

Says the Lord God;

The dead bodies shall be many;

In every place they shall be cast forth in silence.

Here this, O you who would swallow up and trample down the needy,

Even to make the poor of the land to fail and come to and end,

Saying, When will the new moon festival be past, that we may sell grain?

And the sabbath, that we may offer wheat for sale,

Making the ephah measure small, and the shekel measure great,

And falsifying the scales by deceit.

[Today, the Federal Reserve falsifies the value of the dollar,

Printing “funny money” at the whim of the political environment;

Ultimately making everyone poor.]

That we may buy [into slavery] the poor for silver

And the needy for a pair of sandals;

Yes, and sell the refuse of the wheat [ as if it were good grade]?

[Today the US government has enslaved its people

And especially this generation to an accumulation of a debt

That will never be repaid.]

The Lord has sworn by [Himself Who is] the glory and pride of America, 

Surely I will never forget any of their [rebellious] deeds.

[America's sin is ever before the Lord; Yet most of America is blind to it;

If it is not repented of, it will never be forgiven

And has already brought a curse upon the land;

The Lord has lifted His hand of blessing.]

Shall not the land tremble on this account,

And every one mourn who dwells in it?

Yes, it shall all of it rise like the river [Nile],

And it shall be tossed about and sink back again to normal level,

As does the Nile of Egypt.

And in that day, says the Lord God, I will cause the sun to go down at noon, And I will darken the earth in the broad daylight time. [Ezek. 32:7-10]

And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation;

And I will cause sackcloth to be put upon ALL loins,

And baldness [for mourning] shall come on every head;

And I will make it as the mourning for and only son,

And the end of it as a bitter day.

'Behold, the days come, says the Lord God,

That I will send a famine in the land,

Not a famine of bread , not a thirst for water,

But a famine for hearing the Words of the Lord.

And the people shall wander from sea to sea,

And from the north even to the east,

They shall run to and fro to seek the Word of the Lord--

Inquiring for and requiring it [as one requires food]--

But shall not find it.

In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

Those who swear by Ashimah or the sin of Samaria, and say,

By the life of your god [the golden calf], O Dan! And swear ,

By the life of the way of [idolatrous] Beersheba,

They shall fall and rise no more.' (Amos 8:1-14 AMP)

[O how numerous are your idols America; who can count them?]

[Today, America is suffering from a famine of TRUTH!

A famine of the Whole Word Of God!

America is deceived into thinking that she can do as she pleases,

As if God and His Word and His Christ did not exist;

That He is not the same God as in the day of Amos or Isaiah, or Jeremiah

Or any of the other of God's Prophets.

America is as ignorant of God as the day is long.

So she will learn the terrible lesson

Of the prideful, arrogant, godless, sinful nations that preceded her;

That have been rendered impotent or lie in the dust.]

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Seek His Face!

My heart says of you, 'Seek His Face!

Your Face, Lord, I will seek. (Psalm 27:8)

If we seek for anything above this one thing we do not belong to Christ Jesus.

If we seek for this one thing

Then we love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength;

Then we have the heart of King David, the man after God's own heart.

This is an intensely personal reality; It is between you and God alone;

No one else is involved! No one!

One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek:

That I may dwell in the House of the Lord all the days of my life,

To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His Temple.

(Psalm 27:4)

For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His Dwelling;

He will hide me in the shelter of His Tabernacle

And set me high upon a Rock.

Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me;

At His Tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;

I will sing and make music to the Lord.

Hear my voice when I call, O Lord;

Be merciful to me and answer me.

My heart says of you, 'Seek His Face!

Your Face, Lord, I will seek.

Do not hid your face from me,

Do not turn your servant away in anger;

You have been my helper.

Do not reject me or forsake me, O God my Savior.

Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.

Teach me your WAY, O Lord; lead me in a straight path

Because of my oppressors.

Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,

For false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.

I am still confident of this:

I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Wait for the Lord;

Be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. (Psalm 27:5-14)

What did Christ Jesus say?

Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness,

And all these things [everything you have need of]

Will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:33)

What is the prayer of prayers?

Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name,

Your Kingdom come, Your will be done

On earth as it is in Heaven. (Matthew 6:9-10)

This single prayer calls for the dissolution of the kingdom of this world

And it's ruler, Satan.

It is the prayer of prayers.

Some call it a “pattern” but then they do not understand it.

This is a radical prayer that comes against all that is in this world;

It comes against Satan and his bride;

Mystery Babylon The Great The Mother Of Prostitutes

And Of The Abominations Of The Earth. (Revelation 17:5)

And this prayer will be answered by those who seek first and above all else

One thing; The Face of God; the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Seeking The Face God is the essence of Christianity.

It is the most personal and profound search in one's life.

It will be the driving force in your life if you belong to Christ Jesus.

Christianity is Christ reproducing Himself in those who belong to Him.

Christ's food was to do the will of His Father at any cost!

It cost Him His life.

For the joy set before Him, He laid down His life.

The joy set before Him was you and I.

Now He must be the joy set before us.

Our food must be to do the will of our Father.

Our single objective: To Seek His Face!

This will be the single objective of The Bride Of Christ;

The “Woman” of Revelation 12.

You will see the dissolution of this world;

It is dissolving before your eyes at this moment.

The “wages” of sin are being manifested as Scripture declares.

All that has been foretold will come to pass exactly as described.

The godless will come to nothing! Nothing!

In the midst of this horror and tragedy, will you Seek His Face?

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Fear God Not Man!

God speaks to His people today just as he spoke to Isaiah:

Isaiah 8:11-22 AMP

The Lord spoke thus to me with His strong hand upon me,

And warned and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people,

Saying, do not call conspiracy [or hard, or holy]

All that this people will call conspiracy [or hard, or holy];

Neither be in fear of what they fear, nor [make others afraid and] in dread.

The Lord of hosts, regard Him as holy and honor His holy name

[By regarding him as your only hope of safety],

And let him be your fear and let him be your dread

[Lest you offend Him by your fear of man and distrust of Him].

And He shall be for a sanctuary-–a sacred and indestructible asylum

[To those who reverently fear and trust in Him];

But for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense

To both the houses of Israel (And to America today)

For a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

(And to America today)

And many among them shall stumble thereon,

And fall and be broken, and be snared and taken.

Bind up the Testimony (God's Word), seal the law and the teaching

Among my [Israel's] disciples.

And I will wait for the Lord,

Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob (And from America today)

And I will look for and hope in Him. (As will all the faithful in America today)

Behold, I and the children (the faithful ones) whom the Lord has given me

Are for signs and for wonders [that are to take place] in Israel

From the Lord of hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion.

And when the people [instead of putting their trust in God]

Shall say to you, Consult for direction mediums and wizards

Who chirp and mutter,

Should not a people seek and consult their God?

Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?

[Direct such people] to the Teaching and to the Testimony (of God);

If their teachings are not in accord with this Word (the Word of God),

It is surely because there is no dawn and no morning for them.

And they [who consult mediums and wizards] shall pass through the land,

Sorely distressed and hungry, they fret themselves,

And curse their king and their God;

And whether they look upward, or look to the earth,

They will behold only distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish;

And into thick darkness and widespread, obscure night

They shall be driven away.

Today, this prophesy of Isaiah applies to America.

Today, their is no future for a nation who has no fear of God,

But relies on the wisdom of man in whom there is no wisdom.

For them Christ Jesus is a Stone of stumbling and a Rock of offense.

Nevertheless, for those who reverently fear and trust in Christ Jesus;

He shall be an indestructible asylum for them.

The Prophet says bind up the Word of God, for America will not listen.

The Lord is hiding His face from America

Because of their rebellion against Him.

Nevertheless, Christ Jesus will make His children a sign and a wonder

In this day;

Christ Jesus, Who will establish His Throne on Mount Zion

For a thousand years after reducing the rebelling nations to nothing.

This lost generation seeks for guidance from anywhere

But from God Almighty; God is a foreigner to them;

He is like a child's fairy tail.

Today, the wisdom of man will prove to be worthless;

There is no Light in it; it is deceived and it deceives.

They have rejected God and His Christ, Jesus, the only Light that exists.

So America will be sorely distressed and hungry;

And when she is hungry she will fret herself,

And curse her President, her leaders and God Almighty;

And whether she looks upward, to Heaven, or to the earth

She will behold only distress and darkness; The gloom of anguish;

And into thick darkness and widespread, obscure night

She shall be driven away.

Such shall be the plight of America because she has forsaken her God,

The God of her forefathers, and trusted in man.

Christ Jesus said:

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.

Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in Hell.

(Matthew 10:28)

He is the same, yesterday, today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)

The God of Isaiah's day, is our God today, He has not changed!

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Without A Vision We Perish!

Proverbs 29:18:

Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained,

But happy is he who keeps the Law. (NAS)

Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint,

But blessed is he who keeps the Law. (NIV)

When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild.

But whoever obeys the Law is joyful. (New Living Translation)

In the multitude of the evil ones a people is breached

And he that keeps the law is blessed. (Aramaic Bible in Plain English)

Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,

But blessed is he who keeps the Law. (English Standard Version)

Where there is no vision [no redemptive revelations of God],

The people perish; But he who keeps the Law [of God,

Which includes that of man], blessed, happy, fortunate [and enviable]

Is he. (Amplified Version)

A vision, a revelation, divine guidance, prophetic vision are essential

For those who claim the Name of Christ.

Faith itself is a revelation of who Christ Jesus is and who He is to each of us.

It takes a revelation to accept Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord;

It takes a revelation to overcome this world and the evil one who rules it.

Without this revelation we will perish; We will go to a devil's Hell.

You live in a world in which most people have no revelation of God.

The are captive to their five senses;

Captive to the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life;

[That which they possess or have accomplished in view of others.]

Captive to their ruler, Satan.

Even many who claim the Name of Christ

Have no vision or revelation of God.

Therefore My people go into captivity

[To their enemies] without knowing it

And because they have no knowledge of God.

And their honorable men—their glory—are famished,

And their common people are parched with thirst.

Therefore Sheol—the unseen state, the realm of the dead--

Has enlarged its appetite and opened its mouth without measure,

And [Jerusalem's] nobility and her multitude and her pomp and tumult

And [the drunken reveler] who exults in her descend into it.

(Isaiah 5:13-14 AMP)

What is this revelation we must have to belong to Christ

And to overcome this world and the evil one who rules it?

Isaiah had a revelation of God:

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a Throne,

High and exalted, and the Train of His Robe filled the Temple.

Above Him were Seraphs, each with six wings:

With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet,

And with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

'Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His Glory.'

At the sound of their voices the door posts shook

And the Temple was filled with smoke.

'Woe to me! I cried. 'I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips,

And I live among a people of unclean lips,

And my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.'

Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a Live Coal in his hand,

Which he had taken with tongs from the Altar.

With it he touched my mouth and said,

'See, this has touched your lips;

Your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.'

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,

'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?'

And I said, 'Here am I. Send me!'

He said, 'GO and tell this people:

'Be ever hearing, but never understanding;

Be ever seeing, but never perceiving.'

Make the heart of this people calloused;

Make their ears dull and close their eyes.

Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears,

Understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.' (Isaiah 6:1-10)

Isaiah had a vision, a revelation of God and His Heaven

That would carry him through the rest of his life;

That would carry him into the Presence of God at the end of his days.

His sin was atoned for as our sin has been atoned for by the work of Christ.

He answered the call of God on his life: “Here am I. Send me.”

We also must accept the call of God upon our lives.

We must proclaim this Great Salvation Christ has purchased for everyone

Who will believe it; receive it; and walk in it.

Most will never see or perceive.

Most have dull ears and have closed their eyes.

But there are those like in the day of Christ;

Before and afterward who see and hear;

Who understand with their hearts and are healed. Hallelujah!

It is those we serve!

For those God has given us our Vision, our Revelation!

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Do You Want To Be Victorious?

You must have the heart and revelation of God, of King David,

The man after God's own heart.

Listen to David's prayer at the dedication of Solomon's Temple:

David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,

'Praise be to you, O Lord, God of our father Israel,

From everlasting to everlasting.

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power

And the glory and the majesty and the splendor,

For everything in Heaven and earth is Yours.

Yours, O Lord, is the Kingdom; You are exalted as head over ALL.

Wealth and honor come from You; You are the ruler of ALL things.

In Your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to ALL.

Now, our God, we give You thanks, and praise Your glorious Name.

But who am I, and who are my people,

That we should be able to give as generously as this?

Everything comes from You, and we have given You

Only what comes from Your hand.

We are aliens and strangers in Your sight, as were all our forefathers.

Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.

[Our hope is in the Kingdom that lives within us and it's external expression;

The coming Kingdom of God that does away with the kingdom of this world

At the soon return of Christ Jesus.]

O Lord our God, as for all this abundance that we have provided

For building You a Temple for Your Holy Name,

It comes from Your hand, and all of it belongs to You.

I know, my God, that You test the heart and are pleased with integrity.

All these things have I given willingly and with honest intent.

And now I have seen with joy how willingly Your people

Who are here have given to You.

O Lord, God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel,

Keep this desire in the hearts of Your people forever,

And keep their hearts loyal to You.

And give my son Solomon the wholehearted devotion

To keep Your commands, requirements and decrees

And to do everything to build the palatial structure for which I have provided.'

Then David said to the whole assembly,

'Praise the Lord your God.'

So they all praised the Lord, the God of their fathers;

They bowed low and fell prostrate before the Lord and the king.

(1 Chronicles 29:10-20)

Today, nothing has changed; the Eternal God gives each one of us

The opportunity to serve Him wholeheartedly,

Which is the only way He can be served.

We must be holy as He is holy; perfect as He is perfect.

Apart from Him we can do nothing pleasing to Him.

Everything material that exists belongs to Him, He created it all by His Word.

However, He gives everything that He has to those who belong to Him;

Every material thing and everything of His Spirit; holding nothing back.

It is all ours if we hold nothing back from Him.

If we belong to him we are strangers and aliens in this world.

The Kingdom we belong to is the Kingdom of God.

We are in the world but we must not be of it.

If we are of the world we belong, not to God,

But to Satan the ruler of this world

And the spirit of this world, Babylon, the mother of prostitutes

And of the abominations of the earth.

In spite of their good beginning,

Israel and king Solomon did not remain faithful to God.

Today, we have the Word of God like no other generation.

Today, will we remain faithful to God;

Will we love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength

And our neighbor as ourselves?

Will we seek above all else the Kingdom of God and His righteousness?

Will we lose our life to gain His? Will we be victorious?

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
