3-30-20 Grieving in the Spirit

Daily Jot: Grieving in the Spirit - Bill Wilson -
 
There was a huge response to yesterday's Daily Jot on Spiritual grieving. Every one identified with, as KJ put it, "a tsunami of grief and powerlessness as these things sweep society." Those who are spiritually in tune are experiencing this, but I dare say we are not powerless to overcome it. But I'll address that later. I want to share what others like ourselves are feeling about this grieving to demonstrate that this is not isolated, but that many are experiencing the same spiritual feeling-as if there is something very big and very dark about to happen. This is not a time to shrink back, but to step in as we are not given a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind-all are needed in these days.
 
AB wrote: "I, too, have the sinking feeling of living in a different country. I am 85+ and a WWII child. We were so united as a nation in those childhood years, with dads, uncles, brothers gone off to one part of the world or the other to fight enemies of our nation. Now, it seems the enemies we fight are OF this nation, coming at us from our neighborhoods, our newspapers, the TV, the movies, and editorials and op-ed pieces in the paper which all sound mean, angry and ill-informed. The thing I cling to is that I have read the Book and I know this, along with the involvement of the nation of Israel, are there and it all seems to be in accordance to what has been written of the future we will have...Faith increases as sadness over this precious nation loses Him along the way."
 
JN wrote: "You have identified the burdens my Jesus Friends and I carry in our hearts... there are those across the globe who find there is no way to have a conversation with those who represent the Church in organized congregations or in Seminaries which are supposed to be training and equipping Christian workers!" KW wrote: "I, too, carry such a heaviness in my heart regularly for the soul of our nation, for the whole world. I pray regularly for God to bring us back to Him!, but I don't sense He will before the rapture." I believe God alone likely will not bring us or this nation back before the rapture-it is a partnership between God and you, or God and me, AND God and us! We have to take action. He chooses to act through his people. We have to step up and change things and God will bless it, honor it, and open doors for it.
 
A revolution is needed in the church before we can revive the nation. Because there was a revolution in the church in the 1960s, the nation has evolved to its current condition. We have a personal responsibility in this. We need to question everything in our churches. Weigh it against the scriptures. What is being taught; what is being done; are these doctrines and actions scriptural? No longer should a pastor be able to get away with teaching bad doctrine or using money for pet projects or doing whatever he/she wants just because you are not to question their actions. This has gone on far too long. As is written in Acts 17:11 of the Bereans, "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." More to come.

9-18-23 Rage Against Jesus And His People — The Ominous Trend Of 2022

Rage Against Jesus And His People — The Ominous Trend Of 2022 – By Hal Lindsey - https://harbingersdaily.com/rage-against-jesus-and-his-people-the-ominous-trend-of-2022/ By the end of 2022, eight billion people lived on the earth. They were besieged by a series of plagues, droughts, false prophets, war, the threat of greater war, hatred, rage, theft, and violence. The eight billion were fragmented in a variety of ways — according to their nations, level of income, race, gender, various understandings of gender and human sexuality, along with religion or the lack thereof. Change became overwhelming to most of the eight billion. For those over 40, it was almost unfathomable that by the end of 2022, not even half the students at Cambridge University identified as heterosexual. In 2022, deception ruled the day. Trust in government, educational institutions, and the news media had been largely obliterated. Trust in health officials and doctors had become severely damaged. In suc

9-16-23 Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19

Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19 :: By Paul J. Scharf Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles The Messiah was a descendant of Abraham. More than that, we considered last time how He was, in fact, promised within the covenant that God made with Abram (Gen. 12:1-3). According to the Apostle Paul in Gal. 3:16 and 19, He is the ultimate recipient of that covenant! Our Savior Jesus Christ is finally the One through whom “all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen. 12:3). Paul also quoted and discussed that portion of the covenant in Gal. 3:8-9. We ended last time with the realization that the promised Messiah would be the final Davidic king over Israel. As declared then, however, there are several intermediate steps, with accompanying prophecies, which are given between the times of Abraham and David and speak about His coming and the offices He would hold as the greatest prophet, priest, and king. And there are also more ance

9-18-23 Power of God’s Control

Power of God’s Control – Terry James - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2022/12/25/power-of-gods-control/ Going back just a way in my personal history, I’ll divulge my one-time wanting more than anything to be a cape-wearing, soaring superhero. In that regard, there’s a photograph somewhere in the family archive of myself, Pappy, and David all wearing capes (towels). All three of us were about 6, I think—the age when I was saved in the Seventh Street Tabernacle Church on the corner of Seventh and Derby in Pekin, Illinois. Superman was the rage in the “funny books” (my sons mock me now for using that term for comic books). We studied the Man of Steel and wanted more than anything to fly and perform super feats of strength. Sometimes it got us in trouble –like when we jumped from places higher than were safe for mere mortals with towels affixed around necks. So Pappy, David, and I proved that human beings’ desire for supernatural powers must begin early in life. But what we
