THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES ARE EVERYWHERE!
Is your CUP HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY? If your FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST is strong, your CUP IS HALF FULL! Exciting times are very close!
As we hear of the news around the world, we KNOW the SIGNS OF THE TIMES ARE EVERYWHERE! This past week while talking to a group of women this fact was once again brought to the forefront. Out of 10 women of God, all are going through a trying time. Whether it is finances, relationships, illness, loss, or just “disturbing events”- we need to be reminded to CLING TO THE ROCK! The WORD of GOD is actually coming alive. Once again we are seeing that THE WORD is true and trustworthy!
Just this week most of you saw the father who ranted and raved on You-Tube to his 15 year old daughter, THEN took his gun and shot her lap top 8 times. Both father and daughter need God. Whitney Houston, who started out singing Gospel in her church, gradually took the way of the world and ended her life short of finding her Purpose. I’m so sad this morning that yet another soul failed to follow what she knew to be right. Our world is in trouble and we must stay STRONG in knowing “the signs of the times” are here in full swing. This is not gloom and doom, just God getting the World ready for His return.
Thomas Kempis in THE IMITATION OF CHRIST said:
“FOR WHEN THE GRACE OF GOD COMETH TO A MAN, THEN HE BECOMETH ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS, AND WHEN IT DEPARTETH THEN HE WILL BE POOR AND WEAK AND GIVEN UP UNTO TROUBLES. IN THESE THOU ART NOT TO BE CAST DOWN NOR TO DESPAIR, BUT TO REST WITH CALM MIND ON THE WILL OF GOD, AND TO BEAR ALL THINGS WHICH COME UPON THEE UNTO THE PRAISE OF JESUS CHRIST; FOR AFTER WINTER COMETH SUMMER, AFTER NIGHT RETURNETH DAY, AFTER THE TEMPEST A GREAT CALM.”
ISAIAH 60:1-3
“ARISE, SHINE, FOR YOUR LIGHT HAS COME, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD RISES UPON YOU. SEE, DARKNESS COVERS THE EARTH AND THICK DARKNESS IS OVER THE PEOPLES, BUT THE LORD RISES UPON YOU AND HIS GLORY APPEARS OVER YOU…LIFT UP YOUR EYES AND LOOK ABOUT YOU.”
