I realize it may be difficult…

This entered my heart, mind, and spirit long ago. It’s how things are working within me. This is for those fine folks who are assured they are God’s people, born again, in the faith of the resurrected God, Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach, Who came as the only acceptable Sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, and to those professing with their tongues to be Christians, though falling short of knowing, being born anew from within by the Holy Spirit.

Anyone else here, ahh, that’s glorious, and very thankful that you’re here, and I do hope you’ll continue to the end.

The echo heard within my soul is the audible words of the Holy Bible, and what many astute, keen observers, watchmen, and watchwomen indwelt of the Holy Spirit have been acknowledging as well — we all are living in a very perilous, savage times, evil days growing eviler by the day, delusion increasing, truth tossed away to embrace outright lies, as we’re in the Biblical LATTER days of the last days.

It’s all coming together. As it all falls apart.

The heading may seem a bit odd, considering this is mainly for folks who know they are God’s children, born again. But it is apropos. As most folks, no matter their devotion to the Word and serving the LORD, spend the greater part of their waking moments elsewhere. Just a fact.

I spend considerable time of my waking moments watching, listening to much being said and written, and then listening to people’s words, which convey their hearts.

I realize it might be difficult to believe if a subscriber, a frequent visitor, or just having dropped by this one time and looked over the place as to the contents, but I do not have any worry, anxiety, concern, earthly fears, or doubts regarding whatever happens. Whatever happens.

It is all falling apart, but it’s all falling IN PLACE.

That’s the reality.

We can’t get up and down all over the place, sad, worried, fearful, optimistic, giddy, or happy with whatever events might be unfolding. For we are only receiving partial truths, partial information from any source in this world. And it all changes by the next day. The next hour.

It’s all happening that swiftly.

Just as the prophets in the Holy Bible, led by the Spirit of God, told us it would be. The birth pangs are increasing in frequency and intensity.

God is at work. In control. Sovereign over all. Even that father of lies, father of death, father of deception, confusion, chaos, and destruction, Satan. The prince of the air. And his stench is truly in the air, on the tongues of the many.

Do not be deceived. Do not fall into the Great Deception so many have, are, and will yet fall into.

Do not be partakers of rumors, confusion, hearsay, or fear. Unless it is a different kind of fear — the fear of the LORD, awe in Him. With fear and trembling due to the beyond our comprehension of all that God is.

Do not reduce Him, limit Him, or begin to speak for Him.

Let Him speak to each of us.

Daily. Continually. Through His inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, eternal, living, and active Word.

We can’t rejoice and be happy as all the end times events unfold before us, because so many remain utterly lost, in darkness, their fate one of eternal damnation, as they haven’t understood the wrath of God to come, that eternal wrath for not acknowledging Him, not accepting the truth we’re all sinners, as we’ve all lied at some point. Lusted at some point. Stolen something from someone. Even if hope or love, or something material. We’ve all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

So, we can’t be happy and rejoice at the massive number of folks who are yet unsaved and destined for the pit of hell for eternity. We must do something about that. In our little spheres, in our world where we are.

But we can exceedingly rejoice and be glad for our Redemption does draw nigh, ever closer and closer as this world is in its last moments as it has been known for thousands of years, and epic, massive changes never before seen or known are coming.

Do not be deceived.

Be prepared. In the Word. In the Spirit. In the ways of God. In Jesus. Only Jesus.

Forsaking the ways and words of this world. Yes, even forsaking the words of favored politicans, people who are not walking in the Way, of Light, Truth, and Life, not walking in the way alongside Jesus Christ, for by our fruit we all are known.

Be wise. Be spiritually wise. Be keen observers and objective in all things. Test, judge all things against the Word of God.

Don’t allow the spirit of this world, the author of confusion, fear, doubt, and lies, to consume your time or mind. Which can happen if getting swept up in the whirlwind of so-called news.

Men’s and women’s words these days ring more false and unsound than they do true and sound.

That means if we really want the truth and sound doctrine? There is only one place, one source — the whole Holy Bible.

Period.

I realize it may be difficult. It doesn’t need to be that way if reaching out to Jesus every day, whenever that sinking, worrisome, fearful thing arises within. Allow the Spirit of God to rise up greater and push out that utterance within, trying to distract, disrupt, and derail, in getting consumed in worldly events.

I realize it may be difficult — but know this, sister, brother, friend, believer, unbeliever — it’s only going to get more difficult on this earth as time passes and all of Bible prophecy is fulfilled.

Pray daily, continually, “God’s will be done, on earth, as in heaven.”

Live for His will, in His Word, and all will be well with your soul.

Not according to me. I’m just a finite, feeble mass of animated dust, thankful that God spoke to my heart and spirit, and I heard Him and turned to Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. No, no, no, not according to feeble finite me — according to God Himself in His Word proclaims such time and time again.

Will we heed His words to us?

I realize it may be difficult in times such as this…

…but it is what we must do, can do, as a light unto this dark world.
