4-30-21 Get Rid of Rage

Daily Devotion: Get Rid of Rage - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back. —Proverbs 29:11 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/get-rid-of-rage/ - Listen Sometimes we feel justified in unloading both barrels and giving someone a piece of our mind, because we think that we’re in the right on the subject. So let’s just say, for the sake of a point, that we are right. Even if that’s the case, we don’t have to scream at people. We don’t have to turn it into a major conflict. We may rationalize it by saying we’re more spiritual than the other people, so we need to set them right. But if you’re really a spiritual person, if you’re really a godly person, then you’ll be a humble person. You’ll also be a loving person—not someone who’s filled with anger and rage. I have no doubt that social media feeds this. I think we spend way too much time looking at our phones and tablets and following our favorite websites, which inflames us. Yet as believers, we should show love and forgiveness. And if we don’t, we’ll grieve the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God. Therefore, it’s not only possible to grieve the Holy Spirit, but it’s also possible to lie to the Holy Spirit, resist the Holy Spirit, and insult the Holy Spirit. The apostle Paul wrote, “And do not bring sorrow to God’s Holy Spirit by the way you live. . . Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior” (Ephesians 4:30–31 NLT). The Bible says that a person who loses his temper is a fool (see Proverbs 29:11). And Jesus said, “Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples” (John 13:35 NLT). As followers of Jesus Christ, we are to love others and be at peace. When Christians love one another, it’s a powerful witness to a lost world.

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

9-17-23 It's Coming

It Is Coming - By Daymond Duck - https://www.raptureready.com/2022/12/24/it-is-coming-by-daymond-duck/ On Dec. 17, 2022, it was reported that Rep. David Cicilline, a Democrat from Rhode Island, has introduced legislation to permanently bar former Pres. Trump from running for president again, and 40 Democrats have signed on. Cicilline is accusing Trump of orchestrating an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. At the time of this writing, it is debatable as to whether Cicilline’s legislation will get voted on before the new Congress takes office in 2023, but some conservatives have said from the beginning that the main purpose of the Jan. 6 fake show-trial was to stop Trump from being elected again. Some, including this writer, have said there is no telling what the U.S. shadow government will do to prevent making America great again (MAGA) because they want to surrender the sovereignty of the U.S. to the New World Order (coming world government). It was easy to see this comi

9-17-23 Now It Is Obvious Why

Now It Is Obvious Why :: By Dennis Huebshman Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles Once again, 2 Timothy 3:1-5, “But understand this, that in the last days, there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.” (ESV – all emphasis mine) Going from cover to cover in the Bible, we see many countries mentioned as being in the end-time activities. However, the once most powerful nation on earth, America, is not specifically mentioned. One would think that this country would be listed because of all it has accomplished up to now. The possibility here could be found in Genesis 12:3; “I will bless those wh
