You Cannot Serve Two Masters

To my brothers and sisters in Christ, after the recent elections I have spent a lot of my time in meditation and prayer and I would like to share my thoughts.  

I feel your anger and bitterness.  You look around at your fellow Americans and ask yourselves, how can you do this?  The answer is quite simple, this nation has turned its back on God and they do not know their Lord.  You cannot serve two masters and they have chosen to serve the ruler of this world.

  The ramification of this election is great.  We now have a government that calls what is good bad and what is bad good. With 16 trillion in debt they will continue to spend this country into an economic collapse, and when the United States sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold, so this will be a worldwide collapse.  They will continue to print money to try to pay for their spending which will continue to devalue the dollar and create massive inflation.  Expect to see higher and higher taxes as the price of everything you buy continues to rise.  You will continue to see massive regulation from the EPA on greenhouse gas emissions that will cause utilities bills and gas to skyrocket.  They will continue to defund and weaken the military until we will no longer be able to defend ourselves.   

The Bible talks about the nation of Israel.  All nations are judged on how they treat the country that God has placed his name on.  Those that bless Israel will be blessed those that curse Israel will be cursed.  The United States has been a friend and ally of the nation of Israel since it was re-founded in 1948, but now we have a government in direct opposition to Israel. With Israel feeling more and more isolated and knowing they can no longer rely on the United States, I would expect them to launch an attack on the Iranian nuclear facility in the near future that could very well escalate into WWIII and draw us into it. This will usher in a world government system and a one world religion that will be forced upon us.  All of this will lead to a final battle that will culminate in our Lord setting up his kingdom on earth that will not perish.  You should not be surprised about what I am writing about because it has already been written in the bible. 

This is not the time for you to despair and to become fearful, this is the time for you to gird up your loin belt, dust off your bibles and get into the word. Put on the whole armor of God because we do not fight against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rules of the darkness of this world and, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  In their arrogance the enemy thinks it is winning, they think they have defeated and demoralized us, but I see the Lords hand in all this, he is moving the nations to his place of choosing and for his judgment for our God is also the God of the deceived and the deceiver.  He increases nations and destroys them. He enlarges them and straightens them again. He gives and he takes away. At the same time he is gathering his people to him.  We have become too complacent and have trusted the government to always do the right thing. Now he is taking away everything that we trusted and relied on so that only he is left, so put your trust in him.  Soon the Lord will pour out his spirit on the earth and you should expect to see miracles and all manner of great wonders, be ready to receive it.  

We still have a lot of brothers and sisters still living in darkness, once they stop believing and relying on the government they will flood back to the Lord, we should welcome them with open arms. We have been put on this earth for a purpose and at this time and this place. You will become the kings and priest of the kingdom set up by our Lord and we will reign with Jesus forever. It is time for you to prepare yourself, put away the things of the flesh and focus on the Lord, because our time is drawing short and the victory is ours.  

              

Are You Willing and Obedient?

Recently, the Lord has been talking to me about listening more intently to Him. He brought me to Proverbs 4:1-6. It says:

Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father and attend to know understanding. For I give you good doctrine, forsake you not my law. For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments and live. Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not and she shall preserve thee: love her and she shall keep thee.

The Bible is a living Word given to us to learn how to live, overcome and have joy in this fallen world. Nothing can substitute what the Holy Spirit can speak to us, both individually and as a corporate body through divine revelation of the Word. When God speaks to us through His Word and through those whom He uses to teach us His Word, its best that we take heed to what He is trying to get across to us.


One thing I have noticed in the last couple of years is that God is preparing His people to go home. He wants a pure and spotless bride that is ready to stand before Him. He is dealing with us in areas that many of us have desired to be left alone. It’s too hard, emotionally and physically to deal with…or so we have allowed the enemy to convince us.

We must make a choice to believe and trust God to help us let go of the things that hold us back or that seem too painful to deal with. We have to believe that just like ripping a band aid off of a sensitive area – it will only be painful for a few moments, but then we are free of it and can finally move forward without fear or pain!

In Isaiah 1:19-20 it says:  If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

The Lord made it very clear to me that you need to be both willing and obedient when He speaks to you about changing things in your life. If you are not willing you will not be obedient and if you are not obedient then you are not willing.

If you truly have a desire to do what God is calling you to do in these last days and to do it with the Power of God flowing through you…isn’t it time to face those things holding you back and have victory over them?

Philippians 4:13 AMP version says: I have strength for ALL things in Christ (*the Anointed One and His anointing*) which empowers me (I am ready for anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency).   * added from the Greek

He will give you the strength, courage and boldness to do ALL that you need to do and the grace (the supernatural ability) to overcome.

Be Blessed

 Recently, I did not get a job that I really wanted.
 I thought that I had a really good shot. The interview went well. I know people in the office, all of whom endorsed me, and I am more than qualified for the position. Put all of that together with God’s favor and I thought I had the job.

 While I was waiting to find out whether or not I got the job, I kept telling God that regardless of the outcome, I would praise and glorify Him.

 Well, now my own words are being tested.

 I have had to remind myself over and over again that God is my supply and through Him all things are possible. I know these things to be true, but to recognize them repeatedly reminds me that a job is a natural, material thing is irrelevant when it comes to the things of God.

 Over the weekend I watched the movie Facing the Giants.

 In that movie God does some pretty miraculous things through a high school football coach. The coach was able to tab into God’s favor by making two decisions.

 The first decision he made was to give God his best effort regardless of what he was doing. He was no longer working to keep his job. He was not working so that he could pay the bills. He was working, and more importantly living to glorify God. Everything he did was to praise God. 

The second decision he made was to not allow natural results to effect how he praised God. He told his players that they would praise God when they won and praise God when they lost. This attitude spread to the teenagers that he was coaching. They began to see their efforts in life as more meaningful because they were serving a hire purpose, and as a result they started to see God’s blessing in their lives.

In the movie, God tested the coach’s resolve. Not everything would go the way the coach wanted them to, but the blessing came when he stuck to his guns, put his emotions under, and continued to give God his best.
He was tempted along the way by Satan, but he, like Jesus, was determined to do his Father’s work.

 What I take aware from this is that the job I wanted is not as important as giving God the glory and continuing to do my best at my current job. Regardless of where I am working, I am ultimately working for God. I will continue to praise God for the fact that I have a full-time job and he continues to provide resources to provide for my family. I recognize that absolutely nothing is impossible to God, and he is able to do anything regardless of the natural circumstances.

 Isaiah 26:3 says “Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”

 This passage tells us that if we keep our focus on God, He will keep us in perfect peace. I believe this is telling us that if God and His kingdom remains our first priority, He will guard us from anything that would hinder our peace by providing our needs to the point that natural circumstances are inconsequential.

Mathew 6:31 tells us that we are not to worry about necessities because He has already provided them for us. If we start looking to the natural for these things, we may get them, but then we will start giving the natural credit for them. God wants us to rely on Him. By relying on Him, we eliminate any chance of failure and disappointment, and we able to continually glorify Him.
