No Corners Cut, No Pacifying, No Round-About Way

“Destiny demands that you dig deep and finish strong. You didn’t come this far to only come this far. Dig deep, finish strong, and make yourself proud! Get going. Walk if you have to but finish the damned race.”  [Gary Ryan Blair ? Ron Hill] and get under the Umbrella of the Almighty God NOW! There is no time to waste.

Bible prophecy is quickly being fulfilled in rapid succession. One after another. The progression and convergence of all the fulfilled end time prophecies in our current generation is not by coincidence. This fast progression and convergence of fulfilled prophecy is revealing to us that we can appropriately say that we are extremely close to the Mark of the Beast crisis, Intense Persecution of the True Remnant, the Loud Cry, and the Latter Rain experience. [Isaiah 58:1-9; James 5; 1 Corinthians 2:1-12; Matthew 5:13-20; Revelation 12:17; Revelation 13:16-18].

We are being plunged into a period of time which the Bible talks about more than any other period in history, including the time when Jesus walked the shores of Galilee and climbed the mountains of Judea. [Matthew 15:29]. The Bible says that the end of this age will have distinct signs, telling us what would be taking place. [Matthew 24 and Luke 21]. I tell you; the proverbial writing is on the wall, and it is telling us that the end of the Age of Grace is at hand and that the pause in Daniel’s timeline that occurred at the 69th week is about to end.

The stage has been set, and the actors are in place.

What Prophecies Reveal ?

(1) The Unification of Europe

Scripture Reference: “The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.” [Revelation 13:1-7; Revelation 13:5-7]. A turning point in human history that will dramatically change the course of world events. [Daniel 2:40–45; Daniel 7:8-24].

Fulfillment/Pending: The full unification under a single authority, which will affect the whole world as described in Revelation, is still pending. [Revelation 13:16; Revelation 17:12].

(2) The Rise of a Global Government and Economy

Scripture Reference: “He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead.” [Revelation 13:16].

Fulfillment/Pending: The rise of a global government and economy, along with the implementation of a mark for buying and selling, has not yet occurred. However, the increasing push toward globalism and digital currencies suggests that this prophecy is nearing fulfillment.

(3) The Great Apostasy

Scripture Reference: “Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.” [2 Thessalonians 2:3].

Fulfillment/Pending: The great falling away from the faith, known as the apostasy, is already occurring in many parts of the world, where churches embrace false teachings. This prophecy is currently being fulfilled, with more to come as the end approaches.

While there’s no definitive timeline for when all this will occur, we are urged to discern the times and stay spiritually vigilant. [Matthew 24:42; 1 Peter 5:8].

Why? Because Bible prophecy has been fulfilled and continues to be fulfilled, and every prophetic sign seems to point to an imminent rapture. [1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:50-54]. If you want to be saved, get under the Umbrella of the Almighty God NOW! For the Bible tells us that once the entire world “sighs” and says finally, we have “peace and safety,” that is when total destruction comes.

The Bible also tells us that there will be a final world battle, the battle of Armageddon, with the East. There will be a 200-million-man army in which it is said that [China or India are the only countries who have or could do this] that will rise up against the global world order and that nearly three quarters of the world population will perish in this horrific war.

We now have this undeniable convergence of prophesied events in the natural realm, in the political realm, and in the economic realm, yet – so many do not know and are not paying attention. Jesus said, when you see all these things happen, “Look up!”

Jesus is urgently letting His people know how soon His coming will be. Even though it is impossible to know the exact day and hour of Jesus coming at this time, we are instructed by Jesus that we need to carefully “watch and pray” and know His coming is “even at the doors.” [Luke 21:35; Matthew 24:33].

Get Going… Walk if You Have to But Finish the Damned Race – [Gary Ryan Blair]. The time is short!

But they say, “When I have a convenient season, I will call for you.” [Acts 24:25]. The same presumption that condemned Felix and will condemn many.

[Acts 24:27] reveals that Felix never received Christ. Felix made three tragic assumptions: that convenience will come, that conviction from the Holy Spirit would continue, and that conflicts would cease, but he forgot as many of us do… tomorrow may never come. [James 4:14].

So I say again, “Get Going… Walk if You Have to But Finish the Damned Race.” [Quote by Gary Ryan Blair].

Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you, people. Let the earth hear, and all that is in it, the world, and all that comes out of it! I want to tell you what the future holds. [Isaiah 24:1-17].

A great demonic flood is descending upon humankind. The devil knows his time is short, and he is preparing to unleash overwhelming winds and waves of evil. [Revelation12:12]. He is about to bring a fierce downpour of filth, wickedness, and testing beyond anything your mind can conjure. He is going to use his millions of evil spirits in an effort to subdue the whole earth to his complete control by tyranny, oppression, cruelty, violence and agonizing torments to a degree the world has never known. Producing unparalleled suffering for the people of earth. But above it all will be the hand of God, permitting Satan this freedom, guiding every detail to the accomplishment of His purposes: the ultimate defeat of Satan, the destruction of sin, the establishment of His kingdom of righteousness and peace, and the release of creation from its bondage to corruption.

As often as it passes through, it will carry you away; it will sweep through morning after morning, by day and by night. But those who believe will enter into eternal life, and those who do not will enter into eternal punishment. [Matthew 24:13; Matthew 25:31–46].

Stunned by Jesus prophecy, the disciples ask Him, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” [Matthew 24:3].

Jesus responds with a detailed discourse, known as the Olivet Discourse, which covers the events leading up to His second coming. [Isaiah 24].

He warns them about: False Messiahs and False Prophets ? Wars and Rumors of Wars ? Famines, Pestilences, and Earthquakes ? Persecution and Betrayal of Believers ? The Abomination of Desolation ? The Great Tribulation. [Matthew 24:4-14; Daniel 9:27].

The Olivet Discourse ends with Jesus telling His disciples about the final judgment at the end of the Tribulation and to be vigilant and discerning. [Revelation, Chapters 8 to 11].

God mercifully keeps saying, “Turn ye, turn ye, why will you die?” The first woe is passed. Behold, two woes are still coming after these things. [Revelation 9:12; Isaiah 34: 1-17].

Repent, and get under the Umbrella of the Almighty God NOW before it is too late!

Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; and I will shake all nations. All the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I AM THE LORD. The only unshakeable power. [Ezekiel 38:20-23; Joel 3:16; Haggai 2:6-7; Hebrews 12:26-27].

To whom can I give this warning? Who will listen to me?

All this wrath to come. All this torment.  You would think that men would repent of their sins and turn to God, but the Scripture says they won’t. Look, their ears are closed, so they cannot hear. Their consequences are just exactly what Satan intended them to be. They resisted God. They turned their back on God. They did not honor God. The word of the Lord has become offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it. What a picture of the utter depravity and degradation of the human heart. Wrath and judgment break loose, but men will not repent.

What sorrow awaits my rebellious children, says the Lord. [Isaiah 30:1].

This is a warning from the mouth of Almighty God — and its fulfillment is found throughout the Bible. Already you see signs of such calamity in America. [Ezekiel 33]. The enemy is already at the gate!

Then I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” [Revelation 9:13-21].

So, the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind. Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. And thus, I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed — by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.

Father, we thank you for the warning that we’ve received of what is to come. I pray that we will tremble with it, that we would take it seriously. I pray that it would bring us to tears as Jesus wept over Jerusalem. I pray that we will be deeply troubled by the concept of just the bloodshed that is coming and repent while there is still a time of grace. In Jesus Name. Amen!

If you haven’t already done so, get under the Umbrella of the Almighty God NOW to keep yourself safe from the impact of what is about to happen. Maximum readiness and an immediate response is required. Be vigilant. Dangerous times are imminent and inevitable. Follow the advice of the Almighty God. Repent NOW before it is TOO LATE!

The Bible makes it very clear that there is a time coming when you won’t be able to be saved. [Hebrews 12:17]. Do not to take for granted the grace of God. These are the End Times, the Time of Great Tribulation, when God will pour out His wrath and judgment on an unbelieving world. The Bible says God will give them up. They will curse God as they are being scorched with hailstones. [Revelation 16:9-11]. They will try to hide from His wrath in vain, they will seek death, but death will flee from them. [Revelation 9:6]. This is GSWS – the Official God Severe Warning Service. Follow the advice of the Almighty God. Repent NOW before it’s TOO LATE! Don’t gamble with your soul. God hand is outstretched, find grace in the eyes of the Lord today.

For thus saith the Lord, If you do not repent, when you spread out your hands in prayer, pleading for My help because of your rebelliousness and stubbornness, I will hide My eyes from you; I will not be listening. It will be too late! [Isaiah 1:15; Jeremiah 8].

Don’t be like Belshazzar. [Daniel 5]. When Belshazzar saw the writing on the wall, he realized that judgement had been declared. It was TOO LATE! That night Babylon fell, and Belshazzar was slain. The Bible records his trembling, his fear, his knees smote together in terror. He found no place of repentance, he found no mercy, he found no grace. God was done with him forever. You think you have all the time in the world to decide. Not so! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. [James 4:14]. The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand. [Mark 1:15]. Repent NOW!

In Genesis, when the angels came to Sodom, judgment had already been declared. Their fate was sealed. The angels came to save Lot and destroy the city. All the inhabitants were dead men walking even before the angels arrived in Sodom.

The longsuffering of God in Genesis with the old story of Noah. The invitation to be saved and avoid judgement was extended for many, many years. But one day, the offer was withdrawn. It was over, even before the raindrops began to fall, before the fountains of the deep were broken up, before there was any sign of the impending deluge. One can only imagine the icy hand of terror which took hold of their hearts as the rain fell and the water exploded up from underneath. Pleading to be let in. Noah, Noah, let us in! Noah, Noah, we believe you now! The door was shut forever. They took God’s grace and longsuffering for granted.

The sheer terror of realizing one having refused God one too many times. Listen, if God did not spare the angels, nor Sodom, God will not spare this current world. [2 Peter 2:45; Genesis 18:16-33; Romans 11:21]. God is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. [2 Peter 3:9]. Don’t delay coming to Christ. Satan whispers “some other time”—but the Bible says, “NOW is the time of God’s favor, NOW is the day of salvation.” [2 Corinthians 6:2].

Jesus says of those who refuse to be saved, “These shall go away into everlasting punishment and be lost forever.” [Matthew 25:26].

God has commanded you to repent. [Acts 17:30]. Surrender your life to Jesus immediately and be saved. [Revelation 3:19]. If you do not, know that He has bent His bow and made it ready. [Psalms 7:12] and you shall go away into everlasting punishment and be lost forever. [Matthew 25:26].

This is GSWS ? The Official God Severe Warning Service – State of Alert! Defcon 2! God’s Army is ready and prepared.

Like the boy who cried “wolf,” the people dismiss God’s warnings. They say, “Time passes on, but these threats never happen.” They felt quite justified in ignoring the Word of God because they thought it would be no downside for disobedience.

To this God says “Enough.” He will withhold their punishment no longer and will fulfill all that He said. There will be no more delays. [Ezekiel 12:21-28; Revelation 10:6; Jeremiah 30:24].

Defcon 1 – War is imminent!

Though “they sought for it with tears”, they discovered that no matter how “sorry” they were, like Esau, “there was no place for repentance” — it was too late. [Hebrews 12:17].

You know, there is a story told of a vessel that was wrecked and was going down at sea. There were not enough lifeboats to take all on board. When the vessel went down, some of the lifeboats were near the vessel. A man swam from the wreck to one of the boats, but they had no room to take him on. When they refused, he seized hold of the boat with his right hand, but they took a sword and cut off his fingers. When he had lost the fingers of his right hand, the man was so earnest to save his life that he seized the boat with his left hand. They cut off the fingers of that hand too. Then the man swam up and seized the boat with his teeth. Now they had compassion on him and relented. They could not cut off his head, so they took him in, and the man’s life was saved. Why? Because he was in earnest.

Why not seek your soul’s salvation as that man sought to save his life? Don’t wait until it’s too late! Time is running out for our world. Consider today with some urgency your eternal life. For as Martin Luther King, Jr. said in his I have a dream speech in August 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C, “We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW.” What a phrase that is. “The FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW.” Some things simply can’t be put off forever. Sometimes we must RESPOND NOW, we must ANSWER NOW, we must ACT NOW, we must NOT WAIT or DELAY or put things off.

Run to the only refuge there is, the refuge of Jesus Christ. If you go there, you are going to be safe from the coming judgment and the coming wrath. But, if you go outside of it, you’re going to be killed. You’re going to perish. [2 Thessalonians 3:3].

For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through Jesus. [1 Thessalonians 5:9]. Run – Run for your life! There is no time to waste! For the Bible speaks of a time at the end of the present age in the books of Daniel, Revelation, and Matthew, among others — when there will be seven years of tribulation culminating in the battle of Armageddon in Israel and the return of Jesus Christ to the earth, in which right now, the stage is being set by Satan and his puppets. [Revelation 13].

Remember the Bible spoke of the Antichrist – a man who will appear on the world scene in the Last Days just before the return of Jesus Christ to the earth. Described in both the Old and New Testaments, he will be the very incarnation of evil cleverly disguised as a dynamic, charismatic, visionary leader. He will astound the world with his solutions to human problems. His empire will span every continent, and his rule will be the most demonic individual the world has ever experienced. He will rise to world domination by declaring himself a Man of Peace [Daniel 8:23-25; Daniel 9:26-27; Daniel 11:36-39; Revelation Chapter 6; Ezekiel 38; 2Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 13:2,4,5; Matthew 24:15].

But will later plunge the world into global war. Eventually his true character will be revealed. He will be opposed to Jesus Christ and will offer himself to the world as the savior of humanity. Together with his False Prophet, he will control the global economy and force his followers to receive a mark on their hands or their foreheads which most of the world will willingly follow him. [Revelation 13:16-17]. But after 3.5 years of his reign, all Hell will break loose. Talking about a fierce urgency, I tell you, NOW is the time run for safety. Repent before it is too late and get under the Umbrella of the Almighty God. He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge. [Psalms 91:4]. Don’t wait any longer but put your life in God’s hands TODAY!

[Echoing]: US President Donald Trump on Monday cast himself as a peacemaker in his second inaugural address, pointing to the hostage release-ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that went into effect on Sunday. “My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. That’s what I want to be — a peacemaker and a unifier,” he said after being sworn in inside the US Capitol.
In parroting, let me say this. “The Bible predicts that the Antichrist will come to power as a peacemaker. He will be firmly committed to globalism, the belief that the massive problems in the world can only be solved by bringing all nations under one banner. Through economic, political, and religious reform.

While we don’t know who the Antichrist is or will be, Scripture provides a few explanations of his characteristics and actions. We should always ask God for revelation and wisdom to be able to discern correctly. May we be those that can hear and then respond accordingly. [Revelation 13:9].

For terrible are the days which lie ahead. The rumblings of the coming judgment can be heard in the distance. The clouds are gathering. There is only one way out, and that is through Christ, who is the door to absolute safety. Those who receive Him and enter through the door by faith are safe. They are described as those whose names ‘are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.’ Is your name written there? Are you ready for His coming? If not, will you turn to him [Christ] and be saved now?” [M.R. DeHaan].

Will you?

This is critical for this day as we see the mystery of lawlessness at work and we see the chess pieces fall into place.

Even then, they would still not believe. [2 Timothy 4:3-4].

So, Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the DOOR. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved. [John 10:9].

Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck, that they might not hear and receive instruction.” [Jeremiah 17:23].

These wicked people refuse to listen to me. They stubbornly follow their own desires and worship other gods. Therefore, they will become like this loincloth—good for nothing! [Jeremiah13:10].

“At 2:45 p.m. on Friday, local time, life was normal in Japan. People were working. Students were in class. Shoppers were in grocery stores. Trains were running and passengers were loading airplanes. Banks were open, government officials were in meetings, and lovers were thinking of dinner dates later that night. Power plants were running smoothly, roads were in the right place, and dock workers were preparing goods to be loaded on cargo ships.

At 2:46, without warning, the earth began to shake.

Immediately, power was cut off to all power plants. Warning signals blared across the land. Students dove under desks, just as they’d been trained to do. Buildings swayed, but did not fall, just as they’d been built to do. Government, military and law enforcement officials went into emergency mode, just as they’d all drilled to do.

But the earth kept shaking.

Eighty miles out, in the deep blue seascape of the Pacific Ocean, six miles above the massive movements of the earth’s plates, salt water was being churned and tossed about with a force far stronger than any force ever created by man. The first waves slammed into the shoreline two hours later, 23 feet above the beaches that had been so calm just an hour earlier. Cars, ships, houses and chucks of the roadway were swept along with the water, destroying everything in the path of the surge.

The aftershocks came, one after another, one dozen after another dozen, until more than 50 had been recorded.

By the time the first waves receded into the sea, preparing for yet another blast of water and houses and cars and explosions, hundreds of bodies were already among the litter. At sea, a ship loaded with 100 people was swept away. Tankers were flipped over in their harbors. A passenger train is missing. The whole thing. Missing. The waterfront of Sendai burns out of control, and firefighters can’t reach the area. All roads are broken or missing.

Inland, 30 miles from the coast, and 50 miles from the worst of the damage, a dam in one town breaks, immediately sending a torrent of water through residential neighborhoods. By the time the damage is surveyed, 1,800 homes have been destroyed in an area that should have felt safe from the danger of a tsunami. Landslides triggered by the earthquake quickly buried other communities, while people were still inside the buildings. As far south as Tokyo, ambulances lined up outside a school where a roof had collapsed on an unknown number of students, teachers, and parents who had gathered for graduation ceremonies. With the collapse of infrastructure, six million homes lost power, and millions of people were looking for food and fresh water within the day. Many of them resorted to walking on the broken highways, hoping to find a way to survive on higher ground.

And on the horizon loomed the worst news of all. There were critical, potentially devastating, problems developing at a nuclear power plant.

Warnings are issued for countries all around the Pacific rim, and Hawaii braces for the worst. The tsunami races across the surface of the ocean at more than 200 miles per hour, and visions of more destruction terrify coastal communities from Indonesia to New Zealand to the Americas.

Two hours and 14 minutes after the first tremor, officials announce that the death toll was expected to top 1,000. Even as they make the announcement, a magnitude 6.6 earthquake shakes central Japan, and skyscrapers in Tokyo sway as if they were drunk.”

Such is the nature of an unexpected storm. [Matthew 14:24].

Now I don’t know about you, but the phrase that strikes me is … “without warning.” It was a Normal day. Normal workday. Normal conversation, and without warning, it was all at risk. It became imperative not to complete the task at hand … it became imperative just to stay alive. That’s all. Just stay alive.

Now there are many prophecies concerning a final great shaking where God is going to shake this world in judgment. Revelation speaks of mountains and islands being removed and of men crying out for the rocks to fall on them. [Revelation 16:20].

? Isaiah 24:1-20 ? gives us a picture of God’s judgment to come and speaks of the earth reeling to and fro like a drunkard.

? Haggai 2:6-7 ? God says, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations.

? Ezekiel 30:20-23 ? says that when God’s fury arises, He will shake terribly all that can be shaken.

Can’t you feel the earth is shaking underneath you? Can’t you see the columns beginning to collapse around you? God warns – NOW is the acceptable time, NOW is the day of salvation. [2 Corinthians 6:2].

One last call to believe…to repent…to receive Christ and be saved.

When the Lord says, “I’m going to shake the earth one more time,” He means it! No one will be able to explain it. The devasting storm of God’s wrath. [John 3:36, Romans 2:5, the whole book of Revelation].

Don’t be among those that won’t believe that God’s wrath is real until it is upon them. Today, heed the warnings and seek the shelter before it is too late.

The Bible also warns us that, simultaneous to God’s shaking, a great demonic flood is descending upon humankind. The devil is about to bring a fierce downpour of filth, wickedness and testing beyond anything our minds can conjure. He knows his time is short – and he is preparing to unleash overwhelming winds and waves of evil.

Blowing the Shofar – Unexpected storms are Coming – [Matthew 8; Matthew 24:42]. Get under the Umbrella of the Almighty God NOW! Ignoring God’s warnings can lead to dire consequences. [Proverbs 29:1].

Unless we are pridefully foolish or foolishly proud, we will appreciate such warnings rather than resent them. Why? Because they are meant for our good. They are all meant to protect us from harm. [2 Timothy 3:16].

Even so, some will not heed the warning.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. [Matthew 23:37]. Judgment against you will be greater than your fathers because you had a greater revelation! [Matthew 11:24].

Keep Watch! Be on Guard, Stay Alert, and Pray that you may have the strength to escape all that is about to happen. [Luke 21:36; Mark 13:33-37].

Again, the Word of the Lord came unto me, saying, daughter of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: Therefore, hear a word from my mouth, and give them warning from me. [Ezekiel 3:17].

God gives a Summons –

Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you, people! Let the earth hear, and all that is in it, the world, and all that comes out of it! [Isaiah 34:1]. I want you to know what’s going to happen. I want to tell you what the future holds. [Isaiah 1:2].

The Lord is angry with all nations; His wrath is on all their armies. [Isaiah 34:2]. He will totally destroy them; He will give them over to slaughter. Their slain will be thrown out, their dead bodies will stink; the mountains will be soaked with their blood. All the stars in the sky will be dissolved and the heavens rolled up like a scroll; and all the starry host will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like shriveled figs from the fig tree. [Isaiah 13:9; Isaiah 34:1-4; Mark 13:23].

God has had enough; His patience and forbearance exhausted [Matthew 24; Revelation chapters 6, 8-9, and 16-18; Hebrew 11:15; Joshua 6:21; 1 Samuel 15:3].

What you are witnessing on the world scene now, earthquakes, tropical cyclones, floods, volcanoes, droughts, forest fires, wildfire, hurricanes, eruptions, avalanches, heat waves, landslides, blizzards, dust storms, firestorms, hails, ice storms, sinkholes, thunderstorms, tornadoes and tsunamis, doesn’t even compare to what is coming. A day cruel both with wrath and raging anger, to make the land desolate, a horror of devastation [Isaiah 13:9].

Yes, I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. [Genesis 6:17]. This is the plan determined for the whole world; this is the hand stretched out over all nations. For the Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back? [Isaiah 14:26-27].

Wail, for the Day of the Lord, is near. [Isaiah 13:6].

If you have not repented, please do it NOW! The Day of the Lord will come suddenly, unexpectedly at a time when you are least expecting it, and it will be too late then to decide to be saved. [1 Peter 4:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:3].

Don’t wait until it is too late! The judgments of God are in the land. [Matthew 24:36-44,1 Thessalonians 5:1-3; 2 Peter 3:10, Revelation 3:3; Revelation 22:12-21

I have told you everything ahead of time. [Mark 13:23]. Be vigilant in prayer [Ephesians 6:18-20] seeking God’s guidance as you discern the times. [Psalm 32:8; Isaiah 30:21]. For the Lord will arise to shake terribly the earth. You shall see troubles on all sides. Thousands of ships will be hurled into the depths of the sea. Navies will go down, and human lives will be sacrificed by millions. Fires will break out unexpectedly, and no human effort will be able to quench them. The palaces of earth will be swept away in the fury of the flames. Disasters by rail will become more and more frequent; confusion, collision, and death without a moment’s warning will occur.

Shouting to the Rooftop! Repent for the Kingdom of God is at Hand!

Please get under the umbrella of the Almighty God NOW! There is no time to lose. The world is stirred with the spirit of war. The prophecies of the eleventh of Daniel have almost reached their final fulfillment. [Daniel 11].

I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all, for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God. [Acts 20:26-27]. God warns us.

Yet just as in the days of Noah and Lot, people continue to ‘eat and drink’ and live as if nothing is going to happen. [Luke 17:26-27].

I tell you; it will be more bearable for Sodom in the day of judgment than for them. [Matthew 11:20-24]. They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His might. [2 Thessalonians 1:8-9]

Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in midheaven, Come, assemble for the great supper of God; in order that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free men and slaves, and small and great. And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies, assembled to make war against Him who sat upon the horse, and against His army. And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; and these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat upon the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Know that it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. [Jeremiah 10:23; Proverbs 20:24]. Man is not able to do what he plans unless God wills it [James 4:13-17]. Being self-sufficient, relying on yourself is a terrible sin in the sight of God. Why?  Self-sufficiency is planning without God! We must acknowledge God in all our ways. [Proverbs 3:6]. Every resolution must be made in dependence on God. You should say, “If the Lord wills, we shall do this or that because the Lord is the one who gives to all life, breath and all things. [Acts 17:25; Daniel 5:23]. For in Him we live and move and have our being. [Acts 17:28]. For Jesus says in [John 15:4-7] – I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God? [Mark 12:24].

Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that. [James 4:13-15; Psalm 25:5]. But you plan according to your knowledge and your understanding, and your resources and what you want to accomplish in life, where you want to go and yet you leave Me out of the planning. How foolish is that? When I’m a God who loves you, cares for you, and will provide for you, undergird you, and protect you. Stop trying to live life without Me. [Jeremiah 10:23]. Don’t engage in vain labor. If you don’t seek My guidance and direction in your planning, you lose. [Proverbs 16:9]. Your resolution must begin with Me. Your resolution must be worthy of Me. Your resolution must be powered by Me. Your resolution must be glorifying to Me. Your resolution must be fulfilled by Me. Your resolution must be by the grace to Me. Without my power, you can do nothing. [John 15:4-5]. So, make your resolution “God centered.” [Matthew 6:33]. Commit to the Lord, whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. [Proverbs 16:3; Psalms 37:4].

Now don’t misunderstand me, resolutions in and of themselves are beautiful things. They encourage us to analyze our lives, edit, and make changes where needed. They inspire us to think deeper, dream bigger, and explore how we truly can be the best versions of ourselves. The problem however is that most resolutions that are made are not rooted in bringing honor to God but rooted in bringing honor to oneself. God is not interested in helping us to bring honor and glory to ourselves. God is not willing to share his glory with any man. But if our resolutions are God honoring, then we can expect His help in seeing our resolution come to pass. [John 14:14; Proverbs 23:18].

Understand biblical resolution is not just about making commitments; it’s about surrendering our will to God, trusting in His faithfulness, and allowing Him to lead us in every aspect of our lives. [Proverbs 3:5-6]. Because many plans are in a man’s heart, but the counsel of the Lord will stand. [Proverbs 19:21].

O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: It is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. So here I stand Lord, my life is in your hands. I’m longing to see Your desires revealed in me. I give myself away. Take my heart. Take my life as a living sacrifice. All my dreams, all my plans, I place them in your hands. [I Give Myself Away – Song by William McDowell].

Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit. [Jeremiah 17:7-8].

They couldn’t believe what is impossible with man is possible with God. They choose rebellion over resolution. What sorrow awaits them, says the Lord. [Isaiah 31:1; Zephaniah 1:6].

You make plans that are contrary to mine. [Isaiah 30:1]. Okay, have it your way. Daughter of man, speak to the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Do you come to inquire of Me? As I live, declares the Lord God, “I will not be inquired of by you.” [Ezekiel 20:3].

For the shepherds have become stupid and have not sought the Lord; Therefore, they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered. [Jeremiah 10:21].

Blessed, to see a New Year– 2025.

Oh, bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits. [Psalm 103:1-5]. [2 Corinthians 9:15].

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is [his] faithfulness. [Lamentations 3:22-23].

Lord, I just wanna praise you forever and ever for all you’ve done for me Lord. Blessings and glory and honor they all belong to you. Thank you, Jesus, for blessing me. [ I Just Want to Praise You – Maurette Brown Clark].

I tell you; Grace gives us a lot to celebrate! It is a gift from God! It changes everything! Grace makes all things new! So, as you step into this New Year, know that God is inviting you to experience His renewal. Release the burdens of the past and walk forward with hope, knowing that His plans are good, and His mercies are new every morning. Let this year be one of transformation, renewal, and abundant faith in the God who makes all things new. Receive the new things He wants to do in your life this year. For as [Ecclesiastes 3:1] says: To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.

The old year ends, a new begins with pages clean and new; and what is written on each page will now depend on you. You can’t relive the year that’s past, erasing every wrong; For once a year – or day – is spent, it is forever gone. But don’t give up in dark despair if you have failed some test; Seek God’s forgiveness and resolve henceforth to do your best. Resolve each precious day to do things good and kind and pure; though days and years may pass away, these things shall still endure. You know not where your path may lead nor what’s beyond the hill. But know that God walks at your side, if you will do His will. All things are possible with God, though days be bright or dim; so, do your best and know that you can leave the rest to Him. [Author Unknown].

Give this whole year to God, let God set the agenda, let God decide what you need to do and when to do it, where you need to be, who you need to talk to, and what to say. For the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. [Psalm 37:23]. For Jesus declares in [Jeremiah 29:11] – I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. [Psalms 32:8]. Commit your way to Me; trust Me and I will do this. [Psalm 37:5; Proverbs 16:3; Proverbs 16:9; Matthew 6:33]. Also, he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” [Revelation 21:5].

O Lord, the voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude. All that I am and ever hope to be, I owe it all to Thee. [Andrae Crouch – To God Be The Glory].

Thanks be to God for His inexpressible gift!  The chance to wake up to a new day, a new year.

Thank you, Lord, for your love, grace, and mercy. Into Your hands, O Lord, I commit this New Year to you. I surrender all to you Lord, my plans, dreams, possessions, relationships, everything, even my life itself. [Matthew 6:24-25]. I surrender it all to your plans and purposes. [Proverbs 16:3]. Total surrender Lord, letting go of my wants, rights, and expectations and fully embracing Your perfect plan for my life. Laying it all down at the feet of the One who gave it all for me. Knowing that your plans for my life are much better than anything I could come up with myself. [Isaiah 55: 9]. Father, not my will, but Yours be done. [Luke 22:42].

I give myself away. Here I am, here I stand Lord, my life is in your hands Lord, I’m longing to see Your desires revealed in me. I give myself away. Take my heart, take my life as a living sacrifice. All my dreams, all my plans Lord, I place them in your hands. [I Give Myself Away – William McDowell Lyrics].

May the Lord bless?you and keep you, make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace. [Numbers 6:24-26].

Happy New Year!

Through all the circumstances and trials of life; Failures, loss, disappointments, health problems, difficulties, God has never once failed us. [Psalm 73:26].  For He has been our dwelling place throughout all generations [Psalms 90:1]. He has given us grace and mercy and walked with us through some of the darkest moments of our lives. [Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 2:10]. He has guarded and protected us from harm and evil. [Isaiah 41:10; Isaiah 54:17]. He has given us strength when we were weak and sick. [Psalm 46:1]. He comforted and helped us when we were in trouble and facing challenges. [2 Corinthians 1:4]. He brought us to the banqueting house, and His banner over us was love. [Song of Solomon 2:4].

While the journey may not have been easy, God has been good to us. So today, spend time in prayer, thanking Him for all His goodness, mercy, and grace. None of us deserved the goodness of God that we received, but He loves us, cares for us, and has blessed us all. He is worthy of our praise and thanksgiving, not just today but every day!  So, make known among the nations what He has done. Sing to Him; Sing Praise to Him in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December. Praise Him through the Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall. Praise Him through the passing days and encircling months. Tell of all His wonderful acts. [Psalm 105:1-2; Psalms 107:8].

For as Jeremiah declared, “Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish, for His mercies never end. They are new every morning… [Lamentations 3:21-23].

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father! There is no shadow of turning with Thee: Thou changes not, Thy compassions, they fail not: As Thou has been, Thou forever will be. All I have needed, Thy hand hath provided, Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me. [Thomas Chisholm].

Banner Praise. [Exodus 17:15]. I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever. With my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness to all generations. [Psalm 89:1; Isaiah 63:7-9].

If you are reading this, then I know that grace and mercy has called your name today, so remember God’s faithfulness. Thank Him for His blessings, His mercy, and His love. [Psalm 107:1].

How did I make it all these years? How did I make it this far? Through the valleys and over the hills, I know it had to be God. How did I make it through the storm? How did I make it through the rain? If you want to know, just how I got here, it’s so easy to explain. It was God’s grace, His amazing grace, that I made it this far… Some people said, I wouldn’t make it. Some people said I wouldn’t be here today. But look at me, I made it this far – Yes, by the grace of God. When I sit down and look back, down through the years, I have to shed so many tears. But I made it, I made it this far, by the grace of God. [God’s Grace – Luther Lee Barnes, Derrick L Luther Barnes Lyrics].

Yes, Lord, I recall all You have done, O, Lord; I remember Your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about them [Psalm 77:11-12] For this I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations, and sing to Your name. [Psalm 18:49].

I am grateful for the things that you have done. Yes, I’m grateful for the victories we’ve won. I could go on and on and on about your works because I’m grateful, so grateful just to praise You Lord. Flowing from my heart are the issues of my heart, it’s gratefulness. [Grateful -Hezekiah Walker].

Looking Back Over the years. To God be all the Glory! Yes, and Amen!

Come on, put your war clothes on. Time to let go, move on, and close doors. Time to end it once and for all!

You know there’s a famous passage in the [7th Chapter of the Book of Romans verses 14-25] where the Apostle Paul is describing a warfare going on within himself:  He says, “I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate.  I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. For I delight in the Law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin. O wretched man that I am! Who will free me from this life dominated by sin and death?

Sounds familiar?

I tell you, anyone who reads [Romans 7:14-25] should immediately identify with Paul’s expression of frustration and agony due to the weakness of his fleshly body: “All the things I don’t want to do I end up doing and all the things I want to do I end up not doing. I want to do what’s right, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what’s bad, but I do. It baffles me. My own behavior baffles me. Why do I keep making the same mistakes? Why am I so resistant to change? Why can’t I figure out why I do what I don’t want to do?” I don’t understand myself.

The human dilemma described as a man. Who is carnal, sold under sin. Desires to do good but finds himself unable. Desires to abstain from evil but finds himself unable. Who agrees that the Law is good but finds that sins dwell in him. [Romans 7:14-20].

Well, I want you to know that due to Adam’s fall into sin, mankind is corrupted by sin in every area of his life: mind, emotions, and will, have all been tainted. We think sinfully, we feel sinful, and we choose sinfully. We naturally love darkness [John 3:19], and we do not understand the things of God [1 Corinthians 2:14]. The human condition is lost; we have all wandered astray [Isaiah 53:6]. We are spiritually blind [2 Corinthians 4:4]. We are sinful, having broken the Law of God [1 John 1:8; 3:4]. We are enslaved by sin [John 8:34]. We are morally ruined [Romans 7:18]. We are dying physically and dead spiritually [1 Peter 1:24; Ephesians 2:1].

We are in an epic battle! A battle of good and evil. A battle that spans from our very first breath until our last. It is a close and intimate war! Hand-to-hand combat with our adversary the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, the accuser, the ruler of this world and the god of this age whose aim is to use pain and pleasure to make us blind, stupid, and miserable — forever. [Revelation 12:9–10; John 12:31; 2 Corinthians 4:4]. He will use any method necessary to take advantage of us and get us under his control. [1 Peter 5:8]. But we must use what God has given us to overcome. Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Stand firm therefore, and gird your loins with the Belt of Truth, which counters deception, and put on the Breastplate of Righteousness which guards the heart, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace which provides stability. In addition to all, take up the Shield of Faith which extinguishes the enemy’s attacks, and take the Helmet of Salvation which protects the mind along with, the Sword of the Spirit [God’s Word], the Offensive weapon, because I tell you, it’s time to rise up and declare war on the devil. [Ephesians 6:10-18]. No longer will we give the devil a foothold. [Ephesians 4:27]. We are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ, and we don’t have to let the devil run all over us. For the Bible boldly declares, “…Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world” [1 John 4:4].

Like the disciples, God has authorized us to stand against the enemy. [Luke 10:17-19].  When we are authorized, we are commissioned, certified, licensed, lawful, legitimate, recognized, sanctioned, warranted, and official. Exercise your authority. Be like David; David was full of confidence that he was going to be victorious. He was so certain of victory the Bible says he ran to the enemy to fight him. There was no doubt in his mind. He wasn’t going to do it by using some great armor or weapon, but by the power of God. And he took a smooth stone, thrust it out, and killed the great giant of Gath. [1 Samuel 17:41-52].

I tell you, it’s time to put the devil where he belongs, under your feet. He may think he has you where he wants you. But don’t be afraid, for the Lion of the Tribe of Judah has arrived, for He has become your shield and your exceedingly Great Reward. [Genesis 15:1].

Come on, put your war clothes on. Time to let go, move on, and close doors. Time to tell the Devil to go to Hell! You are not at the mercy of the enemy’s attacks. Don’t put him on a pedestal, as if he has power and dominion over you. He is a defeated foe! Jesus defeated him and gave you power over him [James 4:7] USE IT! For in Christ, you are “far above all principality and power and might and dominion” and every lion and serpent you shall trample underfoot! [Romans16:20]. Time to Declare War!

He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. [Revelation 3:21
