* TAKE A STAND AGAINST HURRICANE HELENE!!! NOW!

 

 

Here we are again needing to apply the truths and the authority the Lord has given us believers to take a stand against a dangerous storm.  This time it is hurricane Helene in the Gulf of Mexico which seems to be targeting landfall in the panhandle of Florida, with serious impact also on western Florida,  and then movement on up through Georgia and eastern Alabama into South Carolina, western North Carolina, Tennessee, and even Kentucky.  Already this is a real hurricane and is projected to be a major one, but of course we can pray against that!

 

Remember, Jesus said believers can do the same thing he did, even greater.  He also said he would do whatever believers ask him in his name.  And the Father will give us whatever we ask him in Jesus' name.  And that we can order mountains in our life away.  We can order them to throw themselves into the sea (See John 14:12-14; John 16:23: Mark 11:22-23).

 

The mountain right now for those living in the target areas is the storm Helene.  It's time right now once again to use these truths and the authority the Lord has given us and to put our faith into action.  The gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of power and not just words!

 

I ask everyone wherever you are to pray against this storm, to take a stand (I personally like to step outside and face in the direction of the storm, raising arm and hand with palm to the storm.  For most of us, that direction would be facing south or southeast at this time.).

 

In your own words, declare something like this: 

 

In Jesus' name, I order the hurricane named Helene to turn aside from land, to stay at sea and to diminish in power and disappear.  In Jesus’ name, rain and wind cease!  In Jesus' name, I order Helene to harm no people and animals, no land, buildings, or boats.  And in Jesus’ name, I order no flooding and no storm surge! 

 

Be bold! You can put this in your own words, but that is what Jesus said we can do.  Remember, he changed the weather.

 

Do it now!

* A MESSAGE FOR OUR HEARTS

 

Some years ago in a difficult time I was lying on the floor at home praying.

 

God suddenly spoke to me:  “You know how much I love Jesus?  That’s how much I love you.”

 

His presence and love were intense.

 

I think I knew that before, but this was God the Father saying it directly to me.

 

Overwhelming.  I lay there overwhelmed.  Engulfed in him.

 

God.

 

He loves all believers in Jesus the same way, you know.  The Bible actually says that (John 17:23).

 

God.  The focus of our lives above everything and everyone else.

 

Our role is to love God in return and keep him above everything else in our lives.

 

Jesus once said that ^“Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me (Matthew 10:37).

 

 Of course we are to love all those people, just not more than Jesus.

 

Remember the ten commandments?  What is number one?  Just this:  You shall have no other Gods before me.

 

What is the way to God?  Through Jesus.

 

God – Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit.

 

There is nothing more important in life than knowing Jesus and being in the right relationship with him.

* IT'S TIME: JESUS AND HIM CRUCIFIED

Jesus is God.  He is a member of the Trinity – God the Father, Jesus the Son of God, the Holy Spirit.  He is the King of the Kingdom of God.  He is the head of the body of Christ, the CHURCH.  All things are under his feet. 

 

Jesus’ CHURCH is that collection of people taken out of the world to form a new society of which he is the head.  It is not those brick and wood buildings on the corners, although some people in those buildings might be in his CHURCH.

 

In the most extraordinary act imaginable, this Jesus came from the spiritual world that created earth and all beings to

 

• live among people,
• demonstrate the power of God,
• teach the people the truths of life,
• take upon himself everything that separated people from God,
• allow himself to be tortured horribly and killed by the same beings he had created,
• earn forgiveness for these beings for their sins against God,
• restore people to a relationship with God,
• and so much more.

While his mother and his disciple John and some other believers watched his crucifixion in horror, all those human beings led and guided by the devil carried out their evil work much as so many lost on the earth are today led and guided.

 

This Jesus is returning any moment now to collect his believers, those among all people who have realized who Jesus is and have him as their Lord.  They believe in him absolutely.  They have been born of water and the spirit.  They seek to do his father’s will.  They have the same innocent faith as little children.

 

He comes in the air together with an archangel.  Jesus gives a command, the angel shouts, and there is a trumpet call.  The dead in Christ rise first, then all believers still living on earth.  All these believers meet Jesus in the air, where they receive spectacular new glorious bodies to replace these current human bodies.  All these believers who have lived in perishable bodies will now have imperishable bodies.  Their mortal bodies will now be replaced with immortal ones.  And thus they will be with the Lord, with Jesus, forever.

 

When he collects his believers he will be gone again, only to return at the end of the coming seven year period of horrors on earth known as the Tribulation, a time in which evil seeks to rule and God pours out his wrath on the world.  At that return he and his holy ones, the angels and his believers, will come first to Armageddon near Jerusalem where they will confront an army of people from many countries under the leadership of the evil world leader, the antichrist.  Jesus himself will win the battle there with the sword coming out of his mouth, the WORD.  Jesus is after all the WORD.  All those soldiers fighting against him will be killed.  The antichrist and his assistant, the false prophet, will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, the eternal hell.  And the devil himself, who so long ago led a rebellion against God, will be locked into a deep pit.

 

Then begins a thousand year rule of the Kingdom of God on earth.

 

Jesus.  It’s time.  Believers can’t wait.  Everyone else doesn’t know what is going on.

* SIGN OF THE TIMES: LIVING IN THE DAYS OF NOAH AND LOT

  

Those who are not born again, spirit filled believers just do not know what is happening on earth today.

 

They cannot fathom why there is so much violence and evil and lying and corruption and general disorder and mayhem.  They cannot comprehend why things steadily are getting worse and worse.  They put their hope in humans and in electing new leaders even though they know intrinsically that human leaders have failed greatly in the past.  And since they do not know the Lord and do not have the gift of discernment, they do not know how to pick the best of the candidates for any office anyway.

 

I wonder sometimes what all these people are thinking.  In the US so many continue to work hard to support their families and live, yet the increasing cost of living is great and this is all so very hard. 

 

Those in false religions such as Islam and Buddhism and Hinduism just don’t know.  They are led by false gods, really demons from Satan’s dark kingdom, and they are just lost…eternally lost unless somehow they hear the truth of Jesus and turn and are saved.  That will take an act of God, for as Jesus said no one can come to him unless his Father draws that person to him.

 

For believers, living in the midst of such national and international confusion and violence is difficult indeed.  We all know what is going on and where we are all headed, yet we live in the midst of all the mayhem and confusion and evil.  We see the continuous deception of so many leaders and others, the obvious falsehood, and we still ponder why others cannot see all that even though we know why.

 

Hopefully, the Lord will be here any moment.  We know this is the season of his return.  We know he is coming very soon.  We know that.  It could not be soon enough for us.  The only possible reason for any delay on his part must be that there are still some in that group God chose before the creation of the world to be in the Kingdom who have not yet come to the Lord.  But when I think that, I realize that they could still come to Jesus during the Tribulation or even during the Millennium. 

 

Soon.  I expect soon.  But how are we to live right now in this period.  Well, Jesus himself said his coming would be like the days of Noah and Lot.  Now, putting aside all the terrible immoral behavior of those times, the days of Noah and Lot also had people going about their regular life activities right up until when the flood came and when Sodom was destroyed.  So I take from that we are to be about our normal activities.  For believers, that includes telling others about Jesus and his return as always. 

 

Still, big decisions for some  are looming, such as whether they should move for various reasons, or maybe should they trade in their old car, or how are they going to be able to send their child to college soon.  What do they do about all this?  My only answer is just to continue to live the basic life activities right up to the instant the Lord returns.  If they have just moved when he comes and they are taken to be with him, that move and all that effort won’t matter at all will it?  No, they will just be overjoyed to be with him.

 

I have shared so many words the Lord has said to me in the past about his return, about the surprise and the instantaneousness of it all, about how things will be changed.  He is coming for his CHURCH, his true CHURCH – that body of people who have been called out of the world society into a new organization of which he is the head.  This CHURCH has nothing to do with any of these brick buildings on street corners with all the denominations and organization affiliations and such, other than that some in the CHURCH surely are involved with some of those places.  The CHURCH is the collection of Jesus’ true believers, those who have been born of water and the Spirit, those who seek to do his father’s will, those who have the same innocent faith as little children.

 

How are you to survive all the turmoil and falsehood I referenced at the beginning of this piece?  My suggestion is to keep your eyes on Jesus, keep your spiritual ears attune to hear him and the Holy Spirit and the Father, live in the protection God has for us, ask for more wisdom and guidance always, and listen out for that command from the Lord when he comes.  And of course to keep telling people who Jesus is and that he is coming soon!!!

 

May God keep all of us in the palm of his hands, safe from harm and ready to go, actively doing his will for us now in these final days.
