A LOOK AT END TIME PROPHECY THROUGH THE EYES OF AN UNWORTHY SERVANT

Daily Prayer for February 26 CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH BLUMHARDT I lift up my eyes to the mountains – where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1–2, NIV Lord God Almighty, Lord our God, our refuge for ever and ever, bless us as we gather in your presence and turn to you. May we be your children, who can simply believe and stand firm in our lives and in our calling. We thank you for giving us your grace and constant help. In your grace we can be joyful, praising and honoring you. You are our father. You never forsake us. May your name be praised by us all. May your name be praised above and in the whole world so that all people may acknowledge you and receive what they need from you. Amen.

The Deceiver and the Antichrist Sunday, February 26 | 2 John 7–1 The apostle John lived his later years in the city of Ephesus, in modern-day Turkey. If you visit, you’ll find a church built on the place tradition identifies as his burial site. Named St. John’s Basilica, it was constructed in the fifth century A.D. by Emperor Justinian. John’s high concern was that the church of his day would identify and resist false teaching. As he mentioned in his first letter, false teachers were denying that Jesus Christ had come in the flesh (v. 7). Gnostics saw physical matter as evil and denied that the Incarnation could have happened (see February 16). John calls them “deceivers” and “antichrists.” To follow these teachers would be to “lose what we have worked for” (v. 8)—not a reference to salvation but to the advance of the gospel and the earning of spiritual rewards. To follow them would be to “run ahead” and not continue in Christ’s teaching (v. 9). To Americans, running ahead might sou...

Not Grudges, but Compassion HERMAS Tear doubt out of your heart! Never allow doubt to hinder you from praying to God by perchance thinking to yourself, “How can I ask anything from the Lord, how can I receive anything from him since I have sinned so much against him?” Never think like this! Instead, turn to the Lord with your whole heart. Pray to him without wavering and you will come to know his great mercy. He will never desert you. He will fulfill your heart’s request because God is not like people, who harbor grudges. No, he does not remember evil, and he has compassion for what he has made. Source: The Early Christians

Sunday Reflection: Gifted to Serve Living in community helps us discover our spiritual gifts and use them to bless others. February 26, 2023 To get the most out of this devotion, set aside time to read the scriptures referenced throughout. Have you wondered how to discover your spiritual gifts? There’s an abundance of quizzes and questionnaires online, but as helpful as those resources can be, they’re not authoritative. What if, instead of relying on self-assessments, we approached identifying our gifts as an opportunity to engage our community of believers? Something beautiful happens when we invite our brothers and sisters in Christ to speak into our lives. In fact, the only way we truly come to know ourselves is in community—seeing and being seen, hearing and being heard, loving and being loved in return. Over the next few days and weeks, explore these questions with God: What needs draw my attention? How do I like to help? What needs do others consistently bring to me? What kin...

Psalm 55:22 “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” “When we are experiencing pain, the caregiver is a very important part of the recovery process. Attentive doctors, nurses, therapists, a loving spouse, parents, children, and friends comfort us when we are ill and speed our recovery process. There are times when, no matter how independent we may be, we must entrust others with our care. We must surrender ourselves to them. Our caregivers are those who assist in the healing process. The Lord is the ultimate caregiver. We must surrender ourselves to the Lord. In doing so, we give up whatever is causing our pain and turn everything over to Him.” —Elder Robert D. Hales

Deceit and Despair, The Evil Twins :: By Dave Hubley Published on: February 22, 2023 by RR10 Category:General Articles (There is a special message at the end of this article for those who might happen to read this and do not have Jesus in their life and are looking for peace and a way to better understand the present-day insanity and confusion.) Let me begin by noting that this is actually a hopeful commentary. Yep, I really said that. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, Despair is defined as: To lose all hope. To be overcome by a sense of futility or defeat. Couple this with deceit: The practice of causing people to accept as truth that which is untrue and/or (as is standard operating procedure today) intentionally alter the facts in order to create a false narrative – to purposefully lie. They are the ultimate evil tag team. As has been accurately stated by numerous people in the past: “You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts....

Notable Prophetic Events: Past and Present :: By Jeff Van Hatten Published on: February 15, 2023 by RR10 Category:General Articles Given how fast prophecies are being fulfilled, I have combined several essays written years ago to see if those insights still hold water, and they do. The fulfillment of the prophecies in scripture is happening even faster today. The Many Trees Are Nations Isaiah 55:12 – “You will go out with joy and be led out in peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees in the fields will clap their hands.” Many are very good at seeing scripture through a Greek mindset. However, they often forget that most, if not all, terms in the Newer Covenant have been fully defined by the Older Covenant and that scripture, even the Newer Covenant, is all written from a Hebrew mindset, no matter what language it is written down in. One must first determine how a word or expression is used in the Older Covenant before defining its use in the ...

The Coming Rapture Event - by Pastor Mike Taylor - https://pastormiketaylor.blogspot.com/2022/07/the-coming-rapture-event.html 8 “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.” (2nd Corinthians 5:8-11) Wondering about the end times and the rapture can cause confusion, worry and fear for a lot of people, even Christians! For ages people have tried to figure out the exact time that the prophecy of Jesus's return will happen. The best place to turn for answers about the rapture is Scripture! God tells us everyt...

Daily Devotion: Behind the Façade - by Greg Laurie – www.harvest.org Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord —Acts 3:19 https://harvest.org/resources/devotion/behind-the-facade/ - Listen As a 17-year-old kid, I was searching for God. I had tried to find truth through alcohol and partying, but I knew that wasn’t the answer. I tried to find it through drug use, and I knew that wasn’t the answer either. But I was searching. I would hang around Newport Beach at night, leaning against a wall, and I would watch as Christians walked around handing out religious literature. They looked at me and kept walking. Occasionally they gave me something to read, but they wouldn’t engage me. I remember thinking, “Why won’t you talk to me?” They bought my façade, the appearance that I didn’t care. But I did care. And I was waiting for someone to enter my world and show me the way. That...

Daily Jot: Stupidocrisy: The media’s lament - Bill Wilson – www.dailoyjot.com A Gallup poll indicating only 16% of Americans trust newspapers and only 11% trust television news has mainstream news media calling for more positive coverage of the failing Biden Administration and questioning why people don’t trust them. These polling numbers follow last year’s Gallup findings that Americans do not trust the media to report the news fully, accurately and fairly, and do not consider journalists as ethical. This has caused some finger pointing among mainstream media members. They blame Joe Biden’s failing agenda and Republican’s attacking democracy for the negative reporting, rather than taking responsibility for their poor image. But there may be even more beneath the veneer. The Gallup poll caused MSNBC anchor Katy Tur some anxiety. In an interview with The Hill, Tur said, “People don’t trust us. They don’t believe us, and it makes me wonder if this job, as I’m currently doing it, ...

The Medical & Social Experiment Currently Unfolding Is Leaving Victims In Its Wake – Ken Ham - https://harbingersdaily.com/the-medical-social-experiment-currently-unfolding-is-leaving-victims-in-its-wake/ Less than one month ago, I published an article titled “‘Sharp Rise’ in Transgender Young People” that shared new research claiming about 300,000 young people in the US (double the previous estimate) now identify as transgender. Being “trans” is no longer something on the fringe—it’s popular, trendy, and wildly celebrated (consider, for example, a male swimmer has, once again, been nominated to win a women’s award). But what’s the cost of this transgender craze? Transgenderism Has Consequences Those who think biblically (building their worldview on the Bible—beginning in Genesis) know that despising God’s design of male and female (Genesis 1:27), ignoring biological reality, and heavily emphasizing these things to children will have real-world consequences. We’ve alrea...

Daily Prayer for February 25 CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH BLUMHARDT “Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations.” Isaiah 42:1, NIV Dear Father in heaven, grant that we may stand in your grace. Grant that the light of your grace may come to us through your Word. Keep us firm in faith until the promised time when your redemption shall come to all the nations on earth. We are often anxious and ask ourselves if people can bear it. Will they learn to listen to your Word? Will they remain steadfast when hard times come? Will they turn to you alone, to you who know the hour and appoint the time when we may see the promised day? Let the might of your hand prevail over the whole world. You are the only power that can help us out of our great affliction, you our only Lord. Amen.

Truth and Love Saturday, February 25 | 2 John 1–6 In the summer of 2022, the U.S. Postal Service’s longest-tenured letter carrier, Johnnie Bell, celebrated 70 years of sorting and delivering mail in Oklahoma City. When he started, the pay was only $1.81 per hour. “Thanks so much for this recognition,” he said humbly. “This is just something I do because I enjoy doing it.” We don’t know who delivered the letter of 2 John, but a letter from the revered apostle surely brought joy to the churches in western Asia. The “elder” in verse 1 is of course John himself. The “lady” seems to be a person who was well-known in the church and might have been a house-church host or leader. Some scholars, though, identify “lady” as a metaphor for a particular church congregation. In either case, John loves her “in the truth,” that is, because God’s truth lives in both of them and will do so forever (v. 2). His greeting links truth and love to God’s grace, mercy, and peace (v. 3). John felt joy to wri...

Seek Truth CHRISTOPH FRIEDRICH BLUMHARDT Nowadays, unfortunately, many things are done with the idea that the more spiritual and otherworldly we are, the better. But it is just the other way around. The more we learn to seek truth and to act on it as far as possible in the situation in which God has placed us, even if that be in the dirt, the better it is. For the Savior does not want to come as an idea but as a reality, wherever people live and struggle. Source: Action in Waiting

Let Go and Grow Up Maturity and freedom come when believers completely surrender to God and rely on His strength. February 25, 2023 Hebrews 5:11-14 As Christians, we know our Father wants us to follow His commands and instructions. Too often, though, we try to obey but our old “flesh” keeps emerging. Sometimes this is because of ignorance. Maybe we don’t realize that a certain lifestyle isn’t meant to be the norm for believers. However, the primary reason believers live in a fleshly manner is because we haven’t made up our mind who will be in control of our life. Maybe there’s something we’re unwilling to surrender to God—it could be a desire, habit, or source of security. Another possibility is that we have sensed His call on our lives but are running from Him in fear or rebellion. The consequences of living this way are devastating. Without submitting to the Spirit, the carnal Christian is spiritually immature and ruled by desires, rights, and expectations. Because he has not ap...

Ezekiel 36:26 “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you.” “The healing hands of Jesus Christ reach out to all who seek Him. I have come to know without a doubt that believing and loving God and striving to follow Christ can change our hearts, soften our pain, and fill our souls with ‘exceedingly great joy.’” —Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf

When Darkness Prevails:: By Lisa Heaton Published on: February 22, 2023 by RR10 Category:General Articles It’s not just our imaginations that the world is growing ever darker. Each new morning the headlines prove us right. Still, with all that’s transpiring in the world, many fail to see things are amiss, or if they do, they underestimate its importance since they don’t know Bible prophecy. Rising darkness is a clear indication of the soon-coming Light. Many don’t believe in the rapture of the church, even professing Christians, so they go about life squinting in the darkness rather than admitting that seven years of nightfall is quickly approaching. For some, however, the darkness is so dark that squinting can’t adjust their vision and help them find their way. My family knows that all too well these days. On Monday, January 30th’s empty space in my calendar, I had written “HV edits.” That was my plan, anyway, to make final changes to my Rapture Ready article titled Heavenly Vision....
