Be Slow To Scorn A Watchman

I have a friend who posted the following to Facebook today. I have taken some liberties to edit the post, the majority of it is from their page. We are living in days of great "concern".  Many don't know what is going on.  Many think they know what is going on.  Many think things will be "back to normal" shortly.  Well, I don't think any of this is true.  I believe GOD KNOWS and He wants us to encounter Him.  We are living in incredible days, may YOU have ears to hear (and listen) to what the Spirit (of God) is saying to the churches.  (Revelation 2:7, 17, 29, and 3:13, 22, and Mark 4:23 and Matthew 11:5).  Here is the edited post:

There are many people today who dismiss things quickly, as "Conspiracies Theorists" (labeling people) without doing any research. They have publicly labeled and scorned these "Watchman" people, negatively, not seeing that these Watchman are trying to warn others (and them) of the dangers they see! Often those "voices calling out" have a "watchman calling" and anointing from God! They don’t operate from a place of fear but of wisdom! They often have an ability to see "a far off" what others do not see! Their perspective comes from their position given by God. There are many today (I am talking even  Christians) who scorn these "Watchmen" as Conspiracy Theorists but these same people would’ve likely called those who sounded the alarm years ago about Hitler, Mussolini & others like Mao; conspiracy theorists.

Let that sink in! 

I don’t say this lightly. You see, Neville Chamberlain, of Great Britain failed to see the threat of Hitler and Foolishly declared “Peace in Our Time!” He was dead wrong and millions died because of it!

On the other hand, Winston Churchill, a Military Man who was tested in Battle with the Turks in World War 1 understood how poor leadership led to catastrophic loss of life at the battle of Gallipoli! It was this painful lesson in battle that gave Churchill the Wisdom he needed for the greatest test his Nation would ever face! Winston spoke almost Prophetically of the coming danger from Hitler but was scorned and ridiculed...BUT he was right! He was more right than most would’ve known!!!!

Again, be slow to scorn a Watchman!You see, the Watchman carries a burden that others do not! They are held to account for the lives they watch over! This is a Holy Endeavor, a Holy Occupation!

In Ezekiel 33:6 it says: “But if the Watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone's life, that person's life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.”

There are, in fact, conspiracies today and we as a believers should be discerning, so that WE WILL know what we are to do!

In 1st Chronicles 12:32 it says: “Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command.”

Here in 1st Chronicles 12, the sons of Issachar, along with other men of Israel, came to David at Ziklag. You see, David was hiding out at Ziklag from King Saul as Saul was trying to kill him (David) but little did they know that their alignment with David wasn’t just for that season! In fact, God was establishing the line in the throne of Messiah Yeshua (Jesus)! And they, the sons of Issachar, were the ones who were in proper prophetic alignment for the times and season that they were in!They were a minority in the Nation but they were right! Their correct alignment with God would’ve undoubtedly cost them...most likely costing them their families, friends and the nation at large if they didn’t see what they did!

Some people today (this includes even some Christians) still cry “conspiracy” soberingly, they lacked discernment in the 2016 election! They missed the "Voice of God"! Their lack of discernment caused them to get the most consequential election in US history (and most likely even in the world) WRONG!!! Let that sink in! Yet even still , many of them they don't see it.  They don't see that they missed the voice of God.  They don't see the blessing the Lord has given us in Trump.
Not only did they get it wrong! They publicly used their platform to question and call out those who got it right! They publicly questioned who indeed heard the voice of God! (Again there are still MANY Christians who maintain their beliefs against Trump, and it will only be in the days to come, that we see how God was FOR us in sending Trump to help us.)

Folks like Kim Clement, Mark Taylor, and Lance Wallnau (and many others) were more right than most could’ve imagined with their endorsements of Donald Trump — yet there were (and are) many that mocked! The mockers have sometimes scorned the voice of the Watchman publicly, and questioned them publicly; calling them out and condemning them personally!

I remember listening to a popular Christian broadcast (ahead of the 2016 elections) and the Host had Lance Wallnau on the program! All the callers into this Program were anti-Trump and were harsh with Lance. I decided to call in myself and when I did, I was asked if I was "for" or "against" Trump. I answered, that I was for Trump! I was then told they were only taking anti-Trump callers on this program! I was shocked and stunned!

The point...The host and the callers were wrong and Lance was right and they didn't want to hear anything that they didn't want to hear. They missed the voice of God!

I feel that many today deny the real danger and conspiracy (not a theory but a takeover) that is clearly at work! There are indeed many great evils being uncovered and exposed and yet many would be quick to label these as Conspiracies Theories only!

Show me your friends...

My challenge to you! BE SLOW TO SCORN A WATCHMAN!

I end with a photo of  Dr. Fauci walking in 2016 with Bill Gates. Think about it.

A Connection?

A Conspiracy? Or

A Coincidence?

This is where my friend's post ended.  I close with this, we know that Bill Gates is a globalist who wants to depopulate the earth.  Why is Dr. Fauci seen here with Bill Gates, meeting with him, back in 2016?  

My dad used to have a saying that I believe is appropriate to this post.  He would say, "Show me your friends, and I will tell you who you are."

Pay attention.  Things are hidden in plain sight.

Safely In His Arms (LIVE rom Quarantine)

If you have never heard the music of Aaron Shust and Joshua Aaron, I would HIGHLY recommend you to find their music online and download some of their work.  They are so anointed and amazing.  I just love how they shine the peace and joy of Jeshua in all that they do.

I am hoping you will be able to use this link, that they posted to Facebook just a few hours ago.  It is a link to their newest song that they wrote last week; a new sound the Lord is releasing, for such a times as this. It is to released this Sunday, April 5th, and is called, Safely In His Arms and will be on the new EP by Joshua Aaron, Cover The Sea.

In these days of isolation, may find the Shalom peace of Jehovah.  He is WITH you.  He is near you.  He is for you.  Let the Lord into your home, your space, your heart.  HE Is the solution for this time of isolation.  He loves you dear brother and sister.  I am praying now for you.  Jesus come!

The Enemies Within (Movie)

I pray you are all encountering the Lord and finding peace as He is speaking to you. He is so near us and willing to have conversations with us, His bride. So good to just be able to sit and slow down, to just "be" with Him. The other night I was looking for a particular movie recommended to me (on Amazon Prime) and stumbled across (God brought this to my attention) this movie (The Enemies Within). I felt there were really interesting pieces revealed to me from the New Zealand man as he was investing some things about his government that brought him to our government. One of my assumptions I saw I had has been that we are ALL American's - right? We all love our land, our country, our constitution, our freedoms, and certainly, we would only want what was BEST for this beautiful land - right? (Sometimes I am just too naive.) But after watching this, I am seeing that we have allowed enemies of this great land to move freely about and even lead in the highest places of government in this nation. I knew there were some people who could be called "leftists" or "radicals" or even "progressives" but at their core, they were just like me - Right? People who loved our country, American Pie, Fourth of July - you know, 'Merica. Well, now I have pieces to this puzzle that was made very clear to me and I pray you will watch and be informed too. Maybe you KNEW this information or pieces of it, but it is amazing the thread that is revealed in this movie. Maybe it will help you share with someone you know (probably someone younger) who has bought into this "new" thinking, progressiveness, socialism, dare I say, communism. The movie is free on Amazon Prime (if you have Prime), so I hope you take the time to watch it. It was made in 2016, before the last election, but honestly, it really explains (to me) some of the reasons behind what we are currently seeing in our political system as we are watching our country self-destruct. I know MANY Christians who are not voting... well, maybe they would reconsider why they need to vote after watching this. Blessings to you all. Praying for you to encounter the Lord during this brief season at home.

For the LORD will pass over...

For the LORD will pass through; and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door (Passover is 04-08-2020) and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you! - Exodus 12:23.

In the book of Exodus, we read about Moses, and Pharaoh, and the Jews, right before the Jews were allowed to exit Egypt and enter the promised land.  We read how God spared HIS People.

There were three plagues sent against EVERYONE (Jews and Egyptians) because Pharaoh wouldn't listen to Moses.  Then there were seven more plagues sent against ONLY the Egyptians with the tenth and final plague being the "angel of death" that would be sent to kill the first born of ALL breathing beings.

God instructed the Jews to cover their doors with the blood from a sacrifice lamb to protect themselves.  Remember the last seven plages were only against the Egyptians.  (We know that Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice lamb and HIS blood covers us when we are in Christ). The Jews were all locked in their houses during these times of plagues. (Like we are all now - shut in.). When the Jews OBEYED what God told them (through Moses) to cover their doors with blood from a sacrificed lamb, when the angel of death came that night, it would pass over them. Hence the feast is called Passover.

This coming Wednesday, on the Jewish calendar, is that feast... Passover.  What would be the chances that we (most of the world) is again, shut in during the days leading up to Passover?  God is VERY intentional.  There are no "accidents" or "coincidences" when it comes to God.  There is something spiritual going on and it has to do with THIS week, this time, this season.  Take heed, beloved.

I put the "blood" over my door (using material) to DECLARE and DECREE to the heavens, that those who live here, me and my WHOLE house, are UNDER the blood of the lamb (Jesus).  We are covered and all sickness, disease, death, must PASS OVER us!

It is a symbol... just like wearing a cross necklace is a symbol. Nothing magical in it, but very spiritual.  There is power in obeying what God has instructed.

You may see many homes in America this week with red coverings over their doors.  This is just an outward expression for many Christians, acknowledging the provision of God for the Jews during Passover. We are remembering what the Lord did for the Jews (and for us Christians too — as we are grafted into the vine, in Christ).  God covered His people. This Passover has significance again, just like it did back when the Jews were being held captive in Egypt by Pharaoh.

I am believing God to do a mighty miracle this week... not because any of us are deserving, but because HE IS GOD and WORTHY to be praised. Maranatha.

...and Jesus slept

I have been following the instruction of the Lord this morning; started the day in a corporate prayer phone call, then made the kiddos breakfast, been listening to scripture, worship, and reaching out to who the Lord is laying on my heart to contact... I have a long list as I feel many are struggling in these days.

What I want to share here is something the Lord gave me to share with one of these friends today, and as I shared it with them, I felt the Lord on it saying to me to make it a public declaration — so here it is.

"Cast all YOUR CARES upon Him, friend. He is with you and for you. Praying for you now, to experience a fresh wind of God upon you. He is moving. He is for us. He is right here with us…sleeping in the boat in the middle of the storm."

In Matthew 8:23-27 we read...

23 When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.  24 And suddenly a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves; but Jesus was sleeping. 25 And the disciples went and woke Him, saying, "Lord, save us, we are going to die!" 26 He said to them, "Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was [at once] a great and wonderful calm [a perfect peacefulness]. 27 The men wondered in amazement, saying, "What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"

I believe we will come through this event... and when we come to the other side, God will be with us in that new day... until then, let's rest with Jesus. FIND HIM IN YOUR STORM. Where we have anxiety is just a place where we haven't encountered the Lord at. Cast ALL your anxiety upon Him because He cares for you. He is with you and will never leave you!

In closing, my husband texted me today and shared this link with me. It is a "home" service done by the senior team at Bethel on March 22, 2020. May it encourage you in your most holy faith... enjoy.

What are WE doing regarding OUR sin?

In reading this (link), people have become very upset; it just isn't right, they cry. I get it. These leaders knew something (because they were in meetings/hearings, getting private secret information) before the public knew what was about to happen in our country.  They took this "inside" information and pulled their money out of the stock market to protect themselves and their interests.  Isn't' this the epitome of selfishness? This is a direct violation of the oaths they swore, to be FOR THE PEOPLE. Isn't their actions considered a form of insider trading? Wouldn't you or I be arrested for such violations? Even when asked by reporters about what they knew, before we American's knew, some of them denied knowing things were heading for trouble.  They denied there was any problem on the horizon as they took their money out of the market.

What if a few weeks ago, someone would have told you that every sporting event in the United States would be shut down, would you have believed it?  What if you were told that stadiums throughout America would be empty; there would be no "March Madness" in 2020, and that the NBA, NHL, and MLB would all close down for the season or that Las Vegas would turn off the lights — would you have believed it?  Movie theaters would go silent and churches would close their doors (under the treat of the law). What? Not in America - we are the land of the free and the home of the brave, right? What if weeks ago you were told that major city's in America would be empty of people, traffic would vanish, commerce would cease.  Cities like Houston, L.A., and N.Y.  I don't know if any of us would have believed it but here we are. Has this current situation captured your attention?

This is not about politics people. Don't respond to this by telling me whose fault this is. IT STARTS WITH EACH OF US. What are WE doing with what WE know?

What if YOU were given a tip now to what is about to unfold ahead of us? Would you heed the warning?

People IF WE (as believers) DO NOT HUMBLE OURSELVES AND PRAY, and SEEK HIS FACE and TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS, our land will NOT be healed. (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Do you want the Coronavirus to end? Then we need to:

1. Humble ourselves.

2. Pray.

3. Turn (away from OUR sin - ask the Lord what your sin is. What are YOU doing that God calls wicked? IF you thought [what you were doing] was wicked, I think you would not do it - right? I pray you wouldn't be actively choosing wickedness. Most people think they are right. See, that is the catch - we are OK with what we are doing (we may even think we are right) BUT God calls it wickedness.). Take a minute and ask the Lord, right now, what you need to repent of.

4. THEN our land will be healed. God can end this virus. He is GOD!

Do you want the virus to end? Do these steps. Our WORLD has turned from its creator. We are doing our own thing. We are facing the wrath of our rebellion. Father, forgive us.

Biden and the Force Behind Him

If you have been following the democratic primary process, you have noticed the vast differences between the candidates.  We have had the first openly gay man running, several women, a muslim, a millionaire whose girlfriend would be "de facto first lady" if he won, a socialist who many think is a communist, and many other colors and flavors to choose from; all this to say, America has changed.

2017 Inauguration

I had friends telling me last election cycle how strong the democratic field was and how this country would never elect a republican again and progressivism would be the way forward but watching this cycle, it didn't seem to end the way many thought it would. As we all saw, a miracle happened in 2016 and Donald J. Trump stepped into the White House as our 45th president.  Against all odds, against the media predictions, against the swamp's bidding, Trump won and the left has been in a state of uproar ever since.  The vitriol has not stopped and the establishment has been unhappy to say the least since that wonderful election day.

Fast forward to the 2020 election cycle and you would think the democrats who had four years to "groom" their next big thing would be ready for show time. The last several months seemed more like a circus in the democratic party; but has there been a plan all along?  I would say, yes.

In the last few days SEVERAL of the remaining candidates suddenly have all dropped out and interestingly enough, they ALL endorsed the same guy, Joe Biden.  The same Joe who can't remember what office he is running for, or what state he is in, or which woman is standing with him on the podium (his wife or his sister).  Gaff-after-gaff he has made and yet suddenly, all eyes are upon him as the guy to beat.  Even Bernie who is really the only candidate in the running still is taking a bow when Bernie stated before a crowd of supporters in the last few days that he would not attack, Joe.  He said he has known Joe a long time and that he was a decent man, while the crowd tried to boo.  Wait what?  In the middle of a campaign and basically there are just two candidates remaining, Bernie suddenly becomes "Mr. Nice Guy" gushing over Joe.  Something has happened.  Something has changed.

Over the last couple of days, Mario Murillo had a great insight into all this. He states that Joe was the man all along (read about it here) by the Democrat elites and now he is to take up the position that Hillary failed to secure - Obama's third term.  As stated in the article above, and I totally agree, why didn't Obama endorse Biden when this whole circus began and then why was Biden ok with the lack of endorsement from his former boss and running mate?  Well, because they (the Democrat elites) knew there was a plan in play. The Democratic powers that be (including Obama and his minions) have stacked the deck for this, even after his leaving the White House; everything from the FBI to the media and then add into the mix the calls to impeach 45 even before he took office - there has been a plan. Trump's presidency has been targeted even before he stepped foot into Washington, (but God) as these powers have worked against everything he has tried to do. Murillo has had some good thoughts on this election cycle and I believe he is onto something.  On Super Tuesday, Mario stated that Biden has been the candidate all along.

Lance Wallnau

Lance Wallnau (author of God's Chaos Candidate: Donald J. Trump and the American Unraveling) chose the appropriate word, CHAOS, as the left has been creating as much chaos as possible to unseat this duly elected president from the very beginning.  There is something evil behind this agenda; bigger than media and elections; there are powers of evil operating from the left to destroy America.

Do you really think Obama was just going to walk away from everything he tried to build in his 8 years in office?  Again, I have friends who have said things to me like, he (Obama) is the best thing that happened to America. He was a history-maker. They have said he is a Christian, and he is pro-family, that he is for Catholics and Jews and that he is not a muslim.  Really.  It seems his actions show differently. 

On August 19, 2015, Murillo posted a list created by David Barton entitled: America's Most Biblically-Hostile US President.  I happen to personally know David Barton and I value his research and dedication to detail.  At the end of the article above, Barton sites ALL of his sources. There is ample documentation here. Obama has lists of things he has done from having preferred Islamic advisors to guide and influence his hostility toward people of Biblical faith to attacking Catholics and Protestants and their traditional beliefs.  Read for yourself Obama's record above as cited by Barton.

David Barton

I know many Christians and I have heard many say they oppose Trump.  They cite many reasons from they just don't like him as a person to he is not very "presidential".  What does that mean, anyway, presidential?  Was Kennedy presidential when he had a revolving stream of women in-and-out of the White House? Was Johnson? Have you heard his own words on the tapes from his administration? Vulgar and crass come to mind as good descriptors. What about Clinton, was he presidential with cigars and an intern in the Oval Office?  What does this term "presidential" mean? Is it all about "pomp and circumstance"?  Is it about being proper?

Epstein and Prince Andrew

We have a member of the Royal Family who is suppose to be all "dignified and proper" who is traveling to an island with a known sex trafficker and even stays in his private home to save a dime.  Really?  I just don't get where people are landing on this.  I didn't elect Trump (or any elected official) to be my pastor.  I didn't elect Trump to be my pal. I have never received an invitation to a White House gala so I don't rub shoulders with these elite.  I don't run around with most politicians even though I have known a few well-known names personally.  I elected Trump to drain the swamp; and the swamp is about to come out of the grave unless we, the church, get involved and vote!

In Texas (a Christian, Bible-belt, solid RED state) the 2020 Super Tuesday results showed that voters in the Republican party were down 32% but Democratic votes were up by 29%.  If you, Christian, are you not aware, that this fight we are fighting is won in prayer and then at the voting booth?

The spirit that is operating in our nation is dark and evil and Joe Biden has been selected to be the face of this evil. He has no platform. He has no record.  He has no convictions, or values. He has nothing to offer the American people to make America better, but powers that be are all in support of him.  The Clinton Machine has a wake of people who have died mysteriously, disappeared, fallen asleep and now Joe, the gaff-maker, is at the helm.  He is friends with powers who call George Soros a friend.

The left has found a body in Sleepy Joe, that will fill the agenda they seek to unleash on America as they try to again establish their anti-God, anti-Life agenda, aka known as; the "New World Order".

Murillo again had another great post regarding Joe and how he has become the face for the puppeteer. (Read it here.)  I encourage you to read his take on this old candidate that is emerging as the Democratic nominee.

It's time to awaken, Christian.  The hatred, and I did say hatred of Trump is being spewed by many, even by Christians, and this hatred is being used to bring forth the most evil future that is waiting for America in the wings.  The left will now speak with one voice, they have their man, but WE, the CHURCH can still arise IF we humble ourselves and pray.  God showed up with a miracle win for us as Christians in 2016.  You don't think it was a win for Christians?  Here is a short list of some of Trump's religious freedom accomplishments.   (Read it here.) (More on Trump's Religious Freedoms.)

I don't think Donald Trump is a perfect man, but I do think he is the man God has given us to lead us out of captivity and darkness. May God continue to choose to have His face shine upon us, here in America.

Way Maker

As you know, last month I went to the Bethel conference called Heaven Come in Grand Prairie, Texas, ... and I haven’t been the same! 🤔The worship was incredible and a few of the songs became an anthem in my heart. 

This past weekend, I took a last minute QUICK trip to Minnesota for a family wedding and time with my husband’s elderly parents. Saturday, after the wedding, we went to one of the area attractions, Minnehaha Falls. As I was walking down the stairs to the falls I heard a “trumpet” (I later saw it was a shofar). I was intrigued and had to investigate what was going on. Then I also heard drums and thought maybe there was some Native American Indian gathering going on.

When I got to the bottom of the stairs, and walked toward the bridge over the creek, there was a small group of Nigerian believers releasing a "new song" at the base of the falls. The words they were singing were that of a worship and declaration of the God I love!  Of course, I had to encounter what God was up to!❤

I walked over the them and then we began to exchange our stories, testimonies, and our hearts on fire for Him. We were immediately connected as one, in Him!  I just love how a total stranger becomes a co-laborer in a "happenstance" 😉 connection!

All this to say, that in our sharing I mentioned how I have been to Nigeria and I left a part of my heart there.  I then started sharing about this new song I have been hearing that was written by another Nigerian, Way Maker. They immediately said yes, as they not only knew the song but they knew the writer, Sinach!

Right there a suddenly erupted as we all spontaneously began singing the song - declaring the truth of who our God is over Minneapolis! Don’t you just love when the Lord encounters us like that?

So now this morning, I “stumbled” 😂 across this song. (We never “stumble anywhere – right?” God is so intentional!  As we enter this new Hebraic year of 5780 (as we are on the doorstep of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur) let’s take a minute to remember who our God is and what He can do! 

To hear the news on secular airwaves, you would think the world has gone crazy and then we are invaded by heaven... right here on earth! The Lord sweetly and kindly drops sweet kisses from heaven into your lap. 

Take a minute and listen to this version of Way Maker.  It is my most favorite rendition (that I can find recorded), although Michael Bethany of Gateway church in Southlake has an anointed version as well – just not shareable – you have to hear him live. 

Remember, He is YOUR way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness... that is who He is!! Have a fabulous day IN Him!  He wants to encounter earth WITH you.  Make room for Him!

Never Forget - A day of remembering....

Never Forget!

But have we forgotten?  Our country came together in the days after this horrible tragedy.  People prayed openly together. We saw grown men, strangers, hugging one another. Stores sold out of American Flags!  Black, white, republican, democrat, rich, poor - didn't matter; we were as one!  We were ALL Americans and we were united as a country.

Now we have some taking a knee in protest over that very same flag.  We speak harshly against others who are not our race, our color, our ethnicity.  What has happened to our nation? We are divided and divisive and many are even farther from God.  Father forgive us for only pressing into you when calamity comes.  I have not forgotten and I am forever thankful those who ran INTO Trouble to save strangers they new nothing about.  Love does that.  Love gives!

On this day of reflection, let us also not forget to remember WHO our God is and what He does ... He is the Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper and the Light in the Darkness — That is WHO HE IS!

When I went to the Heaven Come event (in Grand Prairie, Texas, two week-ends ago) they sang this song: Way Maker.  This link is the closest version I have found online to what we heard at the event as Bethel hasn't recorded their version yet. Let this song get in your spirit and heal all that ails you because there sure is a lot of darkness around us.

I have been ministering to many broken situations in Godly people's lives almost daily for months now. I am sure you know of many people hurting too, suffering, struggling BUT "even when we don't feel it, He's working! Even when we don't see it, He's working. He never stops, He never stops working!" Praise His Holy Name!

Currently, a funeral is going on for a 32-year-old young man who was in our home (and lives) for 3 years while two of my children went to a ministry school. He was a room-mate to one son and then boss to another. He spent many weekends at our home. He loved God and served him full-on since I have known him. He married (8 years ago) and leaves behind his wife, a 4-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter. My daughter was 2 when we met him and now he has a 2-year-old. He chose to "wait" for his wife. He kissed her (for the first time) at the altar on their wedding day in the presence of their families. He valued family; both from where he came and what he was going. He would even call me "mom". His wife shared this week-end how he would kneel at her side by the bed, every night to pray over her before she went to sleep. He has finished his race and she is left clinging to Jesus! But we know, Jesus IS the Way Maker - even in the darkness. Right? Her faith is grounded in the Lord yet her knees are knocking as she looks ahead. Jesus come!

I know several people who recently have buried their mates in just the last few months. Men who are upside-down in grief and wives too, pressing into Him. Jesus come!

Another friend's husband lost his job of 20 years and they are facing change and uncertainty. They know God is faithful but they are clinging to Him to find the next place. Jesus come!

I have been ministering to a woman who has been battling darkness over her life, like a cloud for over 3 years. She loves God greatly and is struggling to get free. Her head knows the answers but her heart fails her. Jesus come!

As you may have read, another Christian minister committed suicide yesterday, and again, a friend of my son's, (from the ministry school) knew this pastor personally. People around the nation are left wondering. Questioning. Hurting. He too left behind a wife and children.

Sickness and disease pressing into families/friends... battles for health, strength. Jesus come!
I ministered to another woman (and husband) who are dealing with grown (Christian) children who have broken fellowship with them. Their family is hurting. Unforgiveness is chained to hearts. Jesus come.

Another Christian family has a 20-something child who has decided to "live on the streets" (in a vehicle) with her boyfriend. She suddenly walked away from a great job with living arrangements; bitter, broken, angry, and doing their own thing. Jesus come.

I have had several calls, texts, messages from people dealing with "marriages" - some married less than a year, others married decades. Christian, God-fearing couples breaking-up. Husband's have "secret" affairs (real and online) and wives left shocked, devastated, broken. Wives hanging on to unforgiveness and not choosing to forgive. Money wars. Hate. Anger. Jesus come.

Who do you know that is walking through "a storm"? I think we all know someone that is being "pressed" to their very core. Hanging on tightly to Jesus and praying they will come through. Maybe it is you. Jesus come!

The days we are living in are quite intense BUT...

...what I know is that I HAVE TO STAND on what I know (not what I feel, not what I think, not what people say, not even what church people tell me).

WHAT I KNOW IS that JESUS IS THE ANSWER! He is the Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper, Light in the Darkness. My God - THAT IS WHO YOU ARE!
