Man's mind is finite, but who among us would ever believe that is the case? Among the highly sophisticated and educated, you could almost believe that were true, except -- mankind dies. And, with their death goes the scant knowledge they have acquired. With such wide array of book learning which comes at the high cost of tuition, lunches, bus fares, upkeep of autos, room and board, and pounding the pavement looking for work following graduation, you'd think their brains had accumulated all the knowledge this world holds. At least, many of those graduates gradually seem to come to believe that, too. However, they are not fooling anybody but themselves.
This is 2010
God has blessed us to live and enjoy life one day at a time. Many of our past acquaintances and friends have gone on from earth to glory and how long does it take for people to forget they were even alive and well above ground? I'd say as long as the ride back and forth from the funeral services. Mankind has a small attention span. For them, time extends from only one second to the next. What's worse is that they believe, erroneously, that it is happening through their own power. And there's no way they can be convinced otherwise.
Sure. Many will tell you they pray. They say they believe in God. If that is so, then how is it that affirmation must be made in whispering tones? What is it about mankind that they have no fear, respect, reverence for the Holy - the Spiritual - the unseen - the unknown? Attribute it to faith, if you will. However, faith in God's existence demands fear of displeasing Him. It commands respect for His unseen presence. It demands reverence for Him who is unknown to any but to whom He reveals Himself. How can man, then, say that God is not real when they are without power to control anything, much less their own actions? As often as they are convicted during the course of their day, who and what will convince them they need to pay attention?
Even in this time, church folk still do not understand God is real and that He really does call His own and gives them that Word He wants to go forth in the world. No Preaching man or woman that God calls would dare to speak out of their own minds and mouths what they want. And they cannot spread abroad what the people think they should or should not do -- even if they wanted to do so. Many times, parishioners talk about this one or that one who cannot preach. Better be careful. First of all, do they know what it means "to preach?" Evidently not. Even politicians glibly speak of what they do as affording them a "bully pulpit." No person in any pulpit of God has to bully anybody. It is God Himself who draws them, as He wills. Do you think they know that or believe that? Time will tell.
BALANCE IS THE KEY TO LIVING A LIFE THAT IS GODLY
Christians will never adhere to the misnomer of separation of church and state. Our faith comes along with us wherever we go. Meanwhile, atheists and perverse life styles have taken hold in the land. Lies have become known as truth and truth is thought to be lies, even as the Lord has said it would happen.
Who told you that God would forever put up with such ungodly behavior in His presence? What made you think and even believe that was so? What will it take for you to finally bow low and surrender your will to God's will for your life? Man is invited to come to God just as he is, but he must also understand that he cannot stay in that sin-filled condition forever. Not in God's presence. For, if you know God, His word, His work, and His presence, then even political correctness could not and would not graze your lips much less cross your mind. Discern what is true from what is false and what is Holy from what and who are not.
American faith demands that there is to be no more coddling evildoers by the people of faith. Bold soldiers are on the move now! Man has neither anything to withhold nor anything to liberally sprinkle in the path of people who love God and this country that God will not freely provide to them according to His will. Man is made from dust and it is still true that to dust man shall return. Nobody is exempt from death and dying. Not one. Therefore, it would behoove everybody who claims to have met God somewhere along their life's journey to stop and listen. The God of our fathers and mothers lives. He is alive. He shall never die. He is infinite. Eternal in the heavens. The Lord Jesus is incarnate. God is not made by hands -- as if any man could make such a claim at their own peril.
It is time to tell the world that God said He is real and alive and that settles it! Then let them go their way but without you trailing behind them, for their path leads to Hell. Let them know that Heaven is real and Hell is just as real. And know that no demon in Hell will ever convince any child of God's own heart to accept any man-made laws which they have designed, legislated, and dispensed in order to make it legal to illegally blot God out of their mind, mouth, and spirit. But let them who think so know that will NEVER happen! And don't you frown or crack a smile before, during, or after you have said it. Hold your head high and walk on upright in the admonition of the Lord. Let God Himself convict, as it is He alone who does it. And, know also that God is totally in control of all things, whether man heard it or not, whether man likes it or not, and whether man believes it or not.
Get ready, because American Christians will rise up in the fullness of God's power, as guided by the Holy Spirit. And they will not back up, back down, or back out of God's presence for any puny man, woman, boy, or girl. Who, after having met the Lord God, would entertain the thought of playing with God, the word of God, and the people of God. Count me out. How about you?
Now, hear the word of the Lord! And, if you should choose not to do so, then that is your choice alone. It is also your consequences to bear. And just know that you will not have the chance to say to God that nobody told you to fear God with Godly fear and trepidation. I just told you. Read on, for ---
The Prophetic Voice Arises And, With It, The Word of The Lord Follows, Saying --
The men and women of the earth have drawn the covers tightly around them but it is the Lord God Almighty who shall pull back those covers and shake them loose from beneath them. For I, the Lord, hath the power and all that it takes to get their attention.
Centuries of going forth in the name of the One who hath sent them has not convinced them that I the Lord thy God Am truly real and that I have been merciful in all ages towards all mankind. Then in them will be no understanding no matter how long I hath been patient to stay My hand from all they see and hear.
Thus saith the Lord
If the Lord be not true, then there is no redemption. All in the earth shall be found upon the Rock of Ages, but that Rock shall crush all who hath not heeded My voice, saith the Lord.
Then let them say I Am not in the existence they know not where. Yet I know where they sit, stand, walk, talk, lie down, and get up. And that is on My command, saith the Lord Jesus. Though they still do not believe, I have not shut My eyes or My mouth, saith the Lord.
These who pretend they know Me and do not shall surely and ever so certainly be found missing from around My table, saith the Lord. Then will they hear but it shall be too late. All in all, I the Lord thy God hath spoken into this world once more and I have been patiently waiting for a long while in the manner of mankind's keeping time.
And, forming in the heavens even now shall be a more than ever mysterious event in which no man shall say -- (Forever and ever, Amen) -- That they understand how it was formed. The end.
Marvel not, for it is the hand of the Lord thy God and in Him is no other likeness. Then so be it. And it is so. The end!
