The Harbinger for the Great Harvest of Souls

 

We are living in a time of tremendous tension. The battle between good and evil is reaching an all-time intensity. Discerning Christians sense it. Even non-Christians are becoming aware of the pressure in the atmosphere. Everyone worldwide has been brought to the extreme edge where we know something is about to happen because the pressure is just too great and simply cannot continue without something breaking.

I believe God is about to act in a manner where there will be no question it is God. Not man. Not satan. God and only God. His intervention will produce exponential results for days, weeks and months to come.

Those who have rejected God will be utterly shocked to their core. Those who have been on the fence about God will fall to their knees in submission. Those who have been devoted to God will rejoice as the world experiences God’s glory. All the people of the earth will see God administer His justice consistent with Hebrews 10:30 which states,

“For we know Him who said, ‘It is Mine to avenge; I will repay,’ and again,
‘The Lord will judge His people.'”b]" data-fn="#fen-NIV-30164b"> 

These are the days immediately preceding the Great Harvest of Souls–the End-Time Billion Soul  Harvest prophesied by Bob Jones. The Church is not ready for what it about to occur. People from all walks of life, will turn from their worldly ways and seek guidance from the Church. Do not be ignorant, the Church is about to be judged. First Peter 4:17 is clear: “For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?”

The Church will experience a judgment by fire–a cleansing fire that corrects and reestablishes the Church with Jesus as the only focus. Churches that have elevated the pastors, worship leaders or others will bow down in repentance and honor to the One who established the Church. Ministers who have promoted a watered-down, powerless gospel will be utterly shaken  as they experience the power of God in their midst. The intellectual, legalists will be stunned to realize theirs was a pious religion. Those who prefer and elevate spiritual experience over study to apply Scriptures to their daily lives will grieve. At the same time, the Church of all who have faith in Christ will rejoice knowing God’s correction is compassionate and for our good, to unite us all in the faith.

We are living in great and terrible times. As we realize the imminent intervention of God, let us be sober and seek Him to reveal to us anything that prevents us from having pure and holy hands. Let is listen to the Lord to know the specific assignments He has for each one of us to help the tremendous numbers of people who are about to stream to the Church for understanding and guidance. May the Lord use the promptings I and others with the same message have given to challenge the Church to be prepared for the days ahead.

I have shared before, I expect to see God act in the months of September through January in unprecedented ways, around the times of the Jewish holidays which begin with Rosh Hashanah (9/7/2021) and continue into November with Hanukkah. Let us take advantage of these days to be ready for the reordering and restructuring God is about to do.

The Lord began impressing me with this insight about preparing the Church for the end-times few years ago, which I share in my books, Prepare for the Harvest! Confidence in God’s End-Time Promises, and Prepare for the Harvest! God’s Challenge to the Church Today. I believe the timing for the publication of these books is for all of us who are Christ followers alive on earth today.

Foreshadow of the Mark of the Beast

 

Studying types and foreshadows in the Bible strengthens our faith to understand the grace and trustworthiness of God who watches over His word to perform it (Jer. 1:12). God often prophesies future events, then reminds us of what is to come with precursory events. I believe God provides us with advance experiences of prophesied events to reveal to us our shortcomings and failures allowing us to choose to be changed and prepared for the future. It is astounding how everything we experience comes down to our personal choice.

In the midst of the tyrannical management of COVID-19 by government and other leaders, I believe we’ve been given a foretaste of the last days revealed in the Book of Revelation for the purpose of revealing otherwise hidden truths about ourselves.

As a young Christian, reading the book of Revelation, I found it incredible that so many people would accept the mark of the beast as revealed in Revelation (Rev.13:16 and 14:9-10). I wondered why people would choose to reject Jesus in favor of the beast? I was reminded of this question early 2020 when we were suddenly impacted by a worldwide pandemic where people responded out of fear, rather than faith, even giving up their God-given rights and freedoms. The response of people in these days is exceedingly revealing, and I believe is an advance revelation from God allowing us to take serious thought about whom and what we genuinely worship.

Believing COVID-19 is a forerunner for us to evaluate ourselves and make adjustments to be properly prepared for the last days when events will be much worse and carry eternal consequences, you have the most important choice before you now. If we do not properly learn from these present days and make necessary adjustments, we will enter the future ill-prepared and suffer the consequences of our inaction.

Apparently American Evangelist Mario Murillo also sees the present days as times of revelation of our true selves. Presenting at at Destiny Christian Church recently, Murillo asked the attendees, “If you can’t resist the jab in order to go to Starbucks, how are you going to resist the mark of the beast?” A sobering question that demands a truthful response.

I understand mandates for masks and vaccines have been made, but do those making the mandates have the power and authority to do so? Legally a so-called vaccine that is approved for Emergency Use Only that must be administered with consent to volunteers cannot be mandated. I understand Pfizer has recently been approved as a so-called vaccine for adults. However, it still can’t be legally mandated. I also understand when there are prophylactics and therapies for a disease, a vaccine cannot be required.

The pressure and the propaganda about COVID-19 and the vaccines has been relentless, people have been offered cash and other incentives, and many have been threatened with job loss unless they accept the jab. Worse, in Australia, 24,000 children are being seized to be “vaccinated” without requiring their parents consent. The only way for so many people to have willingly cooperated with these unproven treatments and disease management claims is through deception and fear and such comes only from the enemy of God.

What has your reaction to COVID-19 revealed about you? Is your faith placed in Jesus, or government and the medical and scientific community? Have you believed much of what you’ve heard without researching to make sure you’re believing truth? Have you been guided by truth or lead astray by fear and deception? Our choices in the present will influence our choices in the future. For this reason I believe God has used this evil plandemic to wake people up to truth–truth of Jesus, truth in the world, and truth about our selves.

I know many people believe the world will get worse and worse as evil increases and Christ will suddenly come to rescue us from our peril. They believe we will be raptured before the start of what the book of Revelation reveals as the Great Tribulation. But as I read the book of Revelation, there are many passages that refer to the saints on earth with encouragement for them to endure (Rev 13:7, 10 and 14:12).

God has revealed His plan of redemption of humanity and all creation. All manner of evil and corruption will be allowed to be fully played out and this world will come to a violent end.  God wants us to be fully forewarned and aware of truth so we make intelligent and informed decisions about whom and what we serve. I believe these present days are days of God’s loving mercy upon His people with the opportunity to evaluate ourselves based on our response to the pressures of ideals and philosophies contrary to the Word and will of God.

I am reminded of the story of the Exodus and how God brought His people to the point of needing to deliberately chose whom they will serve. Speaking for God Moses said, “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you today, by loving the LORD your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statures and his rules, then you shall live and multiply, and the LORD your God will bless  you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. But if your heart turns away and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today, that you shall surely perish. You shall not live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to enter and possess. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that  you and your offspring may live,  loving the LORD your God, obeying his voice, and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob to give them” (Deut. 30:15-20).

Moses delivering God’s people to the Promised Land is a foreshadow of our deliverance into Heaven. We have the same choices to make as the Hebrews did. I pray we learn every possible lesson from our present days so we will be fortified and able to endure the greater evil in future days.

I welcome your comments and questions. More on this topic can be heard from my weekly podcast, “Faith to Live By.” I  hope you’ll join me there each week and that you’ll allow me to continue to connect with you here, on social media and with my bi-monthly ENewsletter.

Come Back to God! A Clarion Call and Prophetic Decree

 

I sense as all of heaven observes the affairs on earth, the angels and saints are adamantly calling everyone to “Come back to God!” They know we humans are created by God, designed in His image to have personal relationship with Him–to be part of His family, embraced by His unconditional love. They know the extent and depths of evil that are operating on earth, and how our only hope is God. They know the true inner longing of the human heart are to to know our Creator and to be loved–these are innate longings implanted by God to prompt us to seek to discover and live in life-giving truth–to find Jesus who is the way, the truth and life (John 14:16).

But the author of evil, the enemy of God, satan and his followers, have managed to deceive vast numbers of people today. Many think they know the truth when in reality they are deceived. What a colossal win for satan. The nature of deception means the victim is unaware. The only way for deception to be exposed is for an outside force to cause the victims to reconsider what they understand to be truth.

I believe this is exactly what God is doing in our present time. He is forcing all humanity to see the ravages of evil and wickedness in every aspect of our respective cultures. God has been exposing evil to cause people to recognize it for what it is and to make a choice to be aligned with God and all that is good, or to choose evil and all evil represents. Will people knowingly choose evil? Yes, some will because they have experienced worldly promises from satan such as fame, fortune, and power that serves their debase nature. There are those who openly practice witchcraft, who worship the devil, who are engaged with practices too abominable to name.

Had the elections not been questioned, had COVID-19 not been promoted as it has, had those in authority not imposed lockdowns, mask mandates, and restricted therapeutic treatments known to successfully treat Corona Virus, people would still be operating trusting human authority while being further infiltrated by evil itself. But God, motivated by His nature which is love, has orchestrated events to unravel, to expose the evil so when He administers His justice, those who choose Him will be set free, while those who reject Him will be judged.

We are living in the most great and terrible days the earth has seen, perhaps ever–certainly on par with the days of Noah when God intervened for the sake of His own. Just as people scoffed and scorned Noah’s preaching to be restored to God then, people are responding today. Those of us here on earth who personally know God through faith in Jesus Christ, must also cry with all the hosts of heaven and the saints who have gone before us, “Come back to God!” Will you join me in this cry?

I have developed a program called the “Come Back to God Campaign” to provide replicable evangelistic outreach events. My vision is to provide a method, a plan and equipment for Christian churches and organizations to conduct community-wide outreach programs. I believe God has birthed this idea in me for this very time, when we all expect the greatest harvest of souls the world has ever known. We will experience a great outpouring of God’s spirit, power and authority, that will change the way we’ve been doing church, for ever. Denominations that have rejected the existence of the supernatural gifts today, will be caused to reconsider as we will see men, women and children preaching the gospel confirmed by signs and wonders, just as Christ did. We will see Matthew 10:7-8 and Mark 16:15-18, Luke 10:17-20 and Acts 8:5-8 fulfilled in greater measure than these passages record, because Jesus said we would do even greater works than He did (John 14:12-14).

In this hour, the Church at large is not prepared for a great influx of people and not for the tremendous displays of power God is sure to demonstrate. For these reasons God inspired me to write Prepare for the Harvest! God’s Challenge the Church Today. This book is part of the materials provided with my Come Back to God Campaign. The campaigns are tailored to identify and draw from the organization’s existing resources and staff, also providing training and instruction how to best reach the lost for Christ in these present days, and how to implement an effective continuing discipleship program. I invite you to contact me to learn more of how we can join efforts to help people to Come Back to God.

Please use the contact form on this website to inquire further. Come Back to God is in process of being issued a trademark to promote branding recognition for this evangelistic campaign.

Awakened for a Purpose: God is calling You to partner with Him

If you have ever had the panic of a dream where you are running for your life in the dark with no place of refuse in sight, trying with all your might to scream but no sound is heard, while feeling the advancement of your  perpetrator, then I don’t have to describe the long season we have been living in. You know our suffering–our global suffering.

Most of us suddenly wake up from such a nightmare, short of breath and as frightened as if what we dreamed was real. It takes us a few moments to realize it was just a dream and with that grateful realization we are usually able to go back to sleep. But the true reality of our present-day nightmare demands a different response.  By God’s design we cannot go back to sleep. He has awakened us for a purpose.

On a global scale all of humanity has been subjected to tyrannical evil. Human trafficking, radical immigrant migration, promotion of violence and anarchy, release of convicted criminals, bio-weaponry of the pandemic, administration of untested vaccines using humanity as the largest test lab ever, mandatory lockdowns, closure of businesses, loss of livelihood and loss of precious human lives. Awareness of any one of these atrocities is  enough to enrage decent people to become engaged and bring a halt to such evil. So, it seems the plan of the enemy was to overwhelm us with all these wicked schemes together to immobilize us with fear and intimidation.

This is not the first time in the history of humanity that such wide scale evil has infiltrated every aspect of society, while God’s people are ignorant at best, compliant, even complicit at worst. Consider the days of Noah when God looked upon the earth and saw every manner of evil in the hearts of men, and scriptures reveal God was grieved He created man (Gen. 6:6).  As I’ve previously shared, God has given us the historical account of the history of His people so that we can see our human propensities, see His faithful intervention, and for us to hopefully learn from these patterns to finally discover the path of truth and obedience in Christ that overcomes the enemy of God. As I wrote in a previous blog, history provides parallels for future understanding and application. These present days are no exception.

I agree with prophetic teacher, Johnny Enlow, about God’s dealing with Babylon as we read in Jerimiah chapters 50 and 51. What God worked then, He has worked since, He is working now, and there will still be a future confrontation specific to the outworking of the spirit of Babylon as we read in Revelation chapter 18. Just as God exposed the underbelly of Babylon and its proponents in the Old Testament to then have His people partner with Him to eradicate the extent of evil, He has done the same many times, not excluding today.

What we can learn  from history is the repeated tactics of the enemy, satan? He used the same tactics in the Garden of Eden and repeatedly throughout human history with his four-step  plan to create:

ConfusionDivisionCompliance and CaptureDestruction

With our our present-day  “pandemic” we have clearly been subjected to the same tactics. The fourth step of destruction is to ruin life as we have known it, with our freedoms and independence and institute a new way of life–the new normal we are told to accept where the self-appointed elite, who in reality are deceived and controlled by satan, are our masters upon whom we are to rely for our provisions, daily lives and our future. It brings to mind what we know about crimes against humanity perpetrated by Nazi Germany, and the unthinkable atrocities of the holocaust. Gratefully, there came a day when the evil was exposed and brought to a halt, but not after tremendous human loss and suffering. Ultimately there were the Nuremberg trials where perpetrators were held to accountability. Today, we have arrived at a very similar juncture.

Now that God has our attention–now that we are awake to the truth, we can partner with Him to see His justice done and righteousness promoted. What are you willing to do to rectify the evils you finally recognize?

As the producer, writer and host of the weekly podcast known as Faith to Live By, I have been seeking the Lord for more than a year to allow me to be among those who discern the times, hear God’s heart and encourage God’s people to get engaged in the battle. Many people worldwide are now awaked to the truth that the battle of good and evil has been playing out in our lives. Even more, those who  claimed there is no such thing as a literal devil, have been caused to reconsider their position.

Truly, there is a literal spiritual being known as satan the devil and he has many minions and human participants to carry out his plans of deceit and destruction. The fact he has managed to cause people to believe he doesn’t exist is the greatest accomplishment as it allows him to continue to expand his evil, unrestrained. But no longer for those who are awake and personally taking position to confront evil and promote good. Jesus instructed His followers to occupy until He returned. He established and equipped the Ekklesia to be the restraining influence against evil in the world. The word Ekklesia which Jesus intentionally chose means the called out ones who as an assembly provide righteous governance influencing cities and nations. It seems the enemy’s infiltration of the Ekklesia convincing leaders to separate Christians from political and governmental life, has rendered the Ekklesia to the irrelevent and passive Church we have today.

I believe God has allowed our eyes to be opened though our suffering as the only means to convince us of truth. Now that we are awake, we must intentionally become engaged in the effort to restrain evil and restore godliness in the world. So, I must ask you, what upsets you the most? We have great need to restore righteous influence in all the seven mountains of socieity: Religion, Government, Business, Family, Education, Arts/Entertainment and Media. What are you passionate about? The Woke Movement, Black Lives Matter,  Antifa, Critical Race Theory, Project 1619, government overreach, medical crimes against humanity, transgender promotion, human trafficking, trans-human  experimentation? These are just some of the atrocious evidences of the unrestrained advancement of evil.

Stéphane Frédéric Hessel was a diplomat, ambassador, writer, Holocaust concentration camp survivor, French Resistance member and BCRA agent. Born German, he became a naturalized French citizen in 1939. He became an observer of the editing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. He is worth recognizing in this article for his immortal words:

“I wish for you all, each of you, to have your own motive for indignation. This is precious. When something outrages you as I was outraged by Nazism, then people become militant, strong, and involved. If you want to be a real human being – a real woman, a real man – you cannot tolerate things which put you to indignation, to outrage. You must stand up. I always say to people, ‘Look around; look at what makes you unhappy, what makes you furious, and then engage yourself in some action.'” 1

People today more than any other time in our lives, are starved for truth and to be engaged in a cause that is greater than themselves, to have their life count for something. God is giving all of us an opportunity in this very day. What will you do? Which of the areas of society are you drawn to become engaged in to make a righteous difference for you, and your loved ones?

https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/stephane-hessel-quotes

I welcome your comments. In fact, I’d love to have many of you  use this forum to publicly declare your specific commitment in response to what you hear God calling you to do. Jesus said we would do more than He did on the basis that His followers would multiply and thereby have greater ability to impact the world for Him. We who are alive in these days have a unique and glorious opportunity before us. I can’t wait to see how we respond.

Divine Intervention is Imminent. Are You Ready?

 

How can I be so certain God will intervene? History. There are countless historical events where sin and wickedness increased to a tipping point, at which time God intervened. Think of the days of Noah, the days of the construction of the tower of Babel, the days of Korah’s rebellion, and more. Since the Bible is clear, God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, we have every reason to expect He will show up strong and very soon, given the increased exposure of evil. But the question we must answer is, will we be found on the side of truth or deception when God intervenes?

The enemy of God, satan, is known as the father of lies–he is a master of deception. Perhaps the greatest deception he has managed is to cause people to believe he doesn’t exist. In that way he can go about all his wicked, destructive schemes without any resistance. What do you believe about satan?

What we believe determines what we experience in life, and in the life hereafter. And if you’re inclined to think there is no afterlife, you have another evidence you are deceived. I am among those who can testify of life after death. I suffered sudden cardiac arrest. I died and experienced what I call  the threshold of heaven. Because of what I believed at the time the enemy tried to take me out, I experienced the threshold of heaven and God’s glorious presence, His assurance of my destiny, and His assignment to finish my purpose on earth.

My purpose is to devote all my time to help people discover and live in life-giving truth and the hope truth provides. The truth is we are living in days where both evil and righteousness are exponentially increasing. The enemy and his followers have administered sinister plans against humanity under the cloak of deception. Governments, leaders, media, big tech, social media and more have worked overtime to prevent people around the world from knowing truth. Are you among those who are deceived? Remember, the nature of deception means the victim is unaware of their condition. The only way for a person to come out of deception is for them to come face to face to a shocking challenge that forces them to reconsider what they believe.

And I firmly believe world events since early 2020 have been used by God to shock as many people as possible into discovering truth. Observing current events, listening to the voice of God through prayer, prophets and teachers we can discover truth even in the midst of gross darkness, unless of course you believe you have already found truth. There are people who have utterly made their minds up about what they believe to be true. They base their very life on what they believe to be true. When confronted with facts that are contrary with what they believe, instead of reconsidering their “truth” they refute the facts with claims they are false. As someone once said, “The facts are really annoying once you’ve made your mind up.”

No one knowingly chooses deception. No one wants to be deceived, yet many are, and because of the nature of deception they are unaware of their condition. The only way a person is able to recognize deception they’ve been under is for an event or series of events to occur that consistently challenge the validity of the belief system. And I believe this is precisely the intervention God is doing on earth today. Let me offer a story to illustrate my point of how the enemy uses our trust to deceive us, by working through those who seek power and control.

Living in an enchanting forest, the squirrels, rabbits, and deer lived generations after generations, and enjoyed their peaceful lives. The stronger and more aggressive bears and raccoons wanted the section of the forest the timid animals occupied so they devised a plan to control them. The bears and racoons joined efforts to gradually rule over the squirrels, rabbits, and deer. Their plan was to pretend to be protectors for the timid creatures, while actually increasing their control over them. The bears and racoons convinced the squirrels, rabbits and deer to allow them to keep them safe and able to continue to flourish. Little by little the timid animals saw their numbers dwindling, but there was no evidence of foul play. Besides, the bears and racoons assured the timid creatures of their vow to protect them. And so life in the forest continued with the evil plan of the bears and racoons undetected, as the timid creatures trusted their protectors.

After years of this arrangement, a couple of the most powerful bears and racoons decided they wanted to expedite their takeover and convinced a few of their own to be even more aggressive and expedite their takeover plan. The other bears and racoons who didn’t readily agree with the more aggressive bears and racoons, were bribed then blackmailed and thereby forced to work with them.

God was aware of the evil intent of the bears and racoons and carefully observed all they did in secret to promote their evil takeover plan. And in His perfect timing, God sent a little bird to fly over the forest then tell the squirrels, rabbits and deer what the bird saw. Gradually more birds were sent out reporting a little at a time so not to overwhelm the timid animals. For a long time, the timid animals didn’t believe the reports, believing all that talk was for the birds

One year the bears and racoons decided to pillage the timid animal’s food and water supply to cause them to willingly move out from their part of the forest. Then the take over could happen quicker. Many of the timid animals got sick and died. Yet, God continued to send the birds to bring truth to the timid animals. The more knowledgeable the squirrels, rabbits and dear became, the more the bold they became in righteous anger. Finally enough realized they’d been lied to and actually harmed by the bears and racoons, and that’s when God showed up. The bears and racoons thought they were the most powerful beings of the forest, but were quickly caused to realize they were not. God held the bears and racoons accountable for their evil and the squirrels, rabbits and deer were rescued and restored to their new area in the forest even better than they previously enjoyed and now with a new and proper respect and relationship  with God, their Creator.

From that story consider our present day reality. We have been raised to trust government has our best interest in mind at all times. We have been taught to trust science.  We trust doctors and the medical community work only to enhance our health. When people lifted their voices questioning our government, scientists and medical professionals, media rose up to silence the talk and dismiss and discredit the reports as conspiracy theories. But more and more people became  aware that things just don’t make sense. And today, what was for the birds and called conspiracy theories is being proven before our very eyes.

God is currently intervening to make us aware of the gross evil perpetrated against humanity. God is waking people up to the evil and corruption that has been operating undetected for decades upon decades in our midst. Hosea 4:6 clearly states God’s people perish for lack of knowledge. God wants us to be informed and armed with the truth so that we will not be deceived.

I’m not the only one who has expressed opinion that what we’ve experienced with the onset of COVID-19, the overreach of government responding to the virus, the remedies presented to control the virus and supposedly protect people, and the unprecedented push to have people accept experimental injections that have not been proven are a foreshadow of how future events recorded in the book of Revelation will be successful. Robin D. Bullock, a well respected prophetic teacher, expressed in a recent interview that he believes a deception even greater than what we’ve experienced is coming. Then he accurately stated, “The more truth we know the more difficult it is for us to be deceived.”

The most important thing any of us can do today is to diligently seek to discover truth, and make certain we align ourselves with truth, and nothing but the truth, so help us God. Then we won’t be able to be deceived when the enemy tries again, which the book of Revelation clearly indicates he will. As painful as this past year and a half has been, it has actually been a time of preparation for God’s people.

With my podcasts I seeks to understand and interpret current events in light of Scriptures and prophecy, so as God’s people, we can respond in victorious faith, and not fail because of fear. I’d love to hear from you. Please use the comments section below to let me know your thoughts about this article.

God is Never on Defense: Neither are Genuine Prophets

Envision an otherworldly scene where a massive Tree is loaded with an abundance of fruit, and each individual fruit represents a real-life Christian on the planet today. Every single Christian alive today is represented by the fruit. Well-known Christian leaders, singers, musicians, teachers, prophets, evangelists, pastors, apostles, laymen, children, workplace Christians, every day Christians–each and every Christian is on the tree and recognized by name. Then imagine God sending His mightiest hosts to violently shake the tree, much like machines shake trees today to harvest fruit. As you observe this scene, you see tremendous numbers of fruit falling from the tree to a massive tarp-like ground covering intended to gather all that falls from the tree. Naturally, only those ripe fall to the ground.

I suspect you think all that is harvested through the shaking are fruit that is desirable and will be used for Kingdom good. But what if the fruit that could not be shaken–the fruit that remained on the tree is the better fruit because it’s still securely attached to the source of life the Tree offers? I believe this is a perfect illustration of what Christians around the world are experiencing today, and have been since early 2020.

I asked you to imagine this as an illustration of how we have been far too quick to claim understanding of what God is doing, and as a result we get it wrong.

Specific to the U.S. 2020 elections many prophesied Donald Trump would be reelected. The fall out with public debates concerning the prophesies and the men and women who gave them has grieved me deeply. It seems to me Christians have prematurely concluded, and we’ve lost our credibility in the world as a result. Not only have several previously trusted prophets recanted and made public apologies, the secular media has mocked the prophets, Christians in general, and as a result, our God.

When I heard about Dr. Michael Brown’s efforts to draft a statement for prophetic standards, and read some of his comments in articles and interviews, I was again grieved. While I understood the motive behind the effort, I saw it as defensive posture–an effort to mold public opinion to the detriment of our Christian influence. Don’t misunderstand, I believe there must be standards and accountability for each and every Christian. I’ve read the Prophetic Standards Statement published April 29, 2021 and I have absolutely no objection to the content. It is well thought out and biblically based. I do object to the perception generated by many promoters of the statement, those who have recanted, and the secular media’s negative portrayals of Christians, and resultingly our Lord and Savior, Jesus.

The Prophetics Standard Statement reads in part, “…if a prophetic word is delivered containing specific details and dates in which the  stated prophetic word will come to pass and that prophecy contains no conditions to be met in order to be fulfilled, and that word does not come to pass as prophesied, then the one who delivered the word must be willing to take full responsibility, demonstrating genuine contrition before God and people.”

The November 2020 election outcome has been under scrutiny since before the election. Many publicly declared concern for voter fraud long before the election. Even today, six months later, the outcome of the election remains suspect with key counties undergoing forensic audits, lawsuits flying, pervasive potential coverups and continued conflicting reports about realities. This occurring at the same time there massive media censorship making discovery of truth difficult, sheds even more suspicion about the integrity of the election.

Specific to prophecy, it’s curious that Kim Clement prophesied about Donald Trump and about a time when there would be two presidents.

In reality, at this point in time, we don’t know that the prophets who said Donald Trump would be re-elected were wrong. Even so, the shaking has revealed a great deal. I am inclined to believe the prophets who have not recanted, who were not shaken and caused to fall–the prophets who remain attached to the tree and have not retracted a single prophetic word. Time will tell, what should have been the public posture of Christian leaders all along. The damage that has been done by concluding too soon is severe. But I take heart knowing the shaking God has done is intended to separate the good from the bad, allowing what has become bad an opportunity to repent and be restored. We Christians around the world are clearly in time of transition and shaking, where God is exposing corruption in all the seven mountains of society, to enact His justice which always begins with the House of the Lord (1 Pe 4:17).

Genuine prophets never need to be defensive. They are spokesmen and women for God who is never on defense.

This blog article was created to extend content from my podcast “Faith to Live By” where each week I seek to help us discern the times and know how God would have us respond so His Kingdom will is done on earth as it is in heaven. It is my desire that we learn how to gain spiritual victory over life’s issues.  Faith to Live By is the name of my podcast and my multi award-winning book series. I welcome your comments and hope to connect with you on a regular bases with my podcasts, blog, books, social media and other ministry work.

Prophetic Parallels: Current Events Reveal the Future

 

The familiar adage, “History repeats itself” has taken on new meaning for me since early 2020, in light of world events. I wondered, Why would God allow history to be repeated, unless earlier events were intended to prepare God’s people for what lies ahead? It’s one thing to learn from history, but quite another to intentionally mine current events as preparation for the future.

This past year and several months, we have all been searching to understand the times and gain wisdom and insight to the Lord’s plans and timeline. We desperately want to understand and find solid ground–a sure footing for our hope. This article shares the path of understanding I’ve been on and much of what I’ve shared with my podcast audience.

First, what can we learn from history relative to our present situation with all that has occurred since the onset of COVID-19? Was there another time in recent history when evil dominated and people were controlled concerning their thoughts and deeds? Yes. The time of Adolph Hitler’s Third Reich and Nazi regime from 1933-1945. Evil clearly dominated during this time through a few people who gained control over the masses, even to the extent of seeking to exterminate the entire Jewish race–God’s chosen people. How did these few in power gain control? Influenced by the anti-Christ spirit, the enemy of God, Hitler understood whoever controls the media controls the minds of the people. Nazi propaganda was the tool used to control the people–to convince them and deceive them away from truth, bringing them to actually support Hitler’s agenda–which in reality was the agenda of satan. This gives new insight to Ephesians 2:2 where satan is referred to as the prince of the power of the air.

Have we experienced similar control and propaganda in our present realities? Yes. Looking at how media and government have partnered especially with the reality of COVID-19, it seems the same Marxist playbook used by Hitler is being used today. The same anti-Christ spirit that has sought to overthrow God and destroy all that is important to God has been influencing men and women in positions of leadership and power to gain control over the masses. The ability of a few in positions of power to control the masses has been shocking–at least to those who are unaware of history. Fear is the best tool in the enemy’s arsenal which is why he uses it so liberally. Fear of the virus, fear of contamination, fear of being sick or dying has allowed those in leadership to rule over the people with illegal mandates and impositions in violation of our basic human rights. We should learn, any time fear is being promoted, the enemy is behind it.

What can the Bible offer us in terms of understanding and restoration of hope for today? More than we need! Consider history with the stories of Babel, Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah. In each situation the enemy of God influenced people to choose evil according to the inclinations of their hearts, which the Lord allowed to escalate but only to a point when He intervened. Next, consider the future, prophetically revealed in the Bible. The End-Times recorded in the book of Revelation provide the same pattern as history. The enemy of God influences people who are inclined to evil with the plan of overthrowing God to control and destroy all that is important to God, the greatest of which are God’s people made in His image. How does God respond as recorded in the book of Revelation? He allows all manner of evil to advance and expose itself until in God’s perfect wisdom it is time to act. What does the book of Revelation reveal will be God’s response to the evil in the End-Times? He will arrest and contain all evil and wickedness and Christ will return to reign and rule finally completing the victory over the enemy. This is God’s pattern of dealing with evil, which should give us an overwhelming confident hope.

Do our current events parallel the prophetic revelations of the End-Times? Could these days be a forerunner given to us by God to prepare us for the future? Yes, in my considered opinion. I believe what we have experienced on a global scale with the advent of COVID-19 has been a “dress rehearsal” of sorts that God intends to be used to fortify His people for the end of the End-Times ahead of us. What we learn from all the events we’ve endured since the advent of COVID-19 should be mined to the best of our ability to help us in the future times of the Last Days.

I’m aware there are many people who believe we will all be raptured to heaven before the onset of the Tribulation. If so, how can we explain the references to the servants of God and the multitude of those robed in white that chapter 7 reveals are the ones coming out of the Great Tribulation? Additionally, how can we explain the First Beast being allowed to make war against the saints and to conquer them and the call for endurance by the saints recorded in chapter 13 and 14?

2 Peter 3:9 states, It is not God’s desire that any one should perish, but all to have everlasting life, through faith in Jesus. It is however the desire of the enemy of God to destroy all that is important to God, and even God Himself if that were possible. However, God has graciously foretold us about the events of the Last Days, with repeated assurance for the saints. We have every reason to trust God will come through for us consistent with how He has come through for His people in the past.

Seeking the Lord to help me discern current events and to have prophetic insight as to what we can expect, I offer the following.

The enemy of God has attempted to accelerate God’s timeline, to circumvent the Great End-time Harvest of Souls for Christ. COVID-19 is the cloak he used to prematurely create a one-world-order.As always, the enemy has attempted to control world circumstances and events through men and women whose hearts are inclined to evil, so he would have dominion over all the people.God has allowed the enemy to reveal himself and the people who have been working with him to advance his plan of dominance, to cause those unaware to wake up to truth.All the seven mountains of society: Religion, Government, Media, Education, Arts/Entertainment, Business and Family, are being exposed in preparation for God’s administration of justice.God has been exposing evil and corruption to wake people up to choose whether they will align themselves with good or evil/God or satan.God has already begun administering His justice, and will continue in greater measure in the days and weeks ahead, which will be utterly shocking for many people as they are awakened to the truth.God’s administration of justice will usher in the spirit of relief, rescue, and unity that will usher in the Great Harvest of Souls the enemy sought to prevent.The atmosphere of the world will change from fear and dread to great joy with righteousness reigning, offering us a foretaste of the atmosphere that the world will experience with the return of Christ.

I believe we have been exceedingly blessed to live during these times which I believe is a prophetic parallel to the last of the Last Days. May we glean all we can from this time on God’s timeline in preparation for the last of the Last Days.

Expect a Miraculous Delivery

Tomb Empty With Shroud And Crucifixion At Sunrise – Resurrection Of Jesus

 

In my lifetime, the darkness of evil and corruption have never been more evident than today. While this has struck fear in the hearts of those who do not know God, for those of us who do, it should produce joy. Certainly not joy over the evil, but joy over the fact that God has repeatedly demonstrated His power and authority over evil. The most prominent being the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus. In this season of Passover and Easter, let us properly reflect on the goodness of God and His faithfulness to deliver us in our times of need.

While the enemy has worked to advance his wicked, oppressive, and destructive kingdom on earth, God has been observing and intervening from heaven. In His supreme wisdom and power, God has allowed the enemy to think he has gained the upper hand with intent of powerfully acting at the precise time and perfect manner.

Prophets have likened our modern-day plight to that of God’s people, the Hebrews, as the book of Exodus recounts. Let’s gain some understanding of why and what we must learn from the historical Exodus for our circumstances today.

The early nation of Israel was recognized as a people who kept themselves a distinct race, having nothing in common with the Egyptians in customs or religion and in this way they retained the knowledge of the Lord.1  However over time, after the death of Joseph, they slowly adopted many of the customs and cultures of the Egyptians. Living in houses rather than being a nomadic people, the Israelites who became known as Hebrews were becoming very much like th Egyptians, adopting their customs and entertaining their gods.

Because the Hebrews were rapidly multiplying, Pharaoh, who ruled Egypt, feared they would outnumber the Egyptians and take over his land. For this reason Pharaoh enslaved the Hebrews and oppressed them before they grew too powerful. He limited the personal freedom of the Hebrews, put heavy taxes on them, and recruited their men into forced labor battalions under the supervision of harsh taskmasters. But the more the Egyptians oppressed them and the harder restrictions were imposed upon them, the more the children of Israel increased and multiplied.

Finally, in effort to control the population of the Hebrews, Pharaoh decreed every first-born male child of the Israelites to be killed. Pharaoh gave orders to the midwives that every first-born son shall cast into the Nile river. By this edict, untold numbers of Hebrew male babies would be killed.

Knowing the evil Pharaoh’s plans, God had prepared Moses to be born at the precise time he was. Moses’ parents recognized the child as “fair unto God” and no doubt inpspired by God Moses’ mother and father instructed Moses’ older sister, Miriam, to place Moses in a basket and float him in the Nile with hopes his life would be spared. Pharaoh’s own daughter discovered the baby and recognized him to be a Hebrew child because of cloth the babe was wrapped in. Miriam, seeing what had happened, approached Pharaoh’s daughter, asking if the princess would like her to fetch a nurse from among the Hebrew women? In response to the princess, Miriam brought Jochabed, Moses’ own mother to the palace to nurse the baby who would be raised as the child of the princess. Until he was weaned Jochabed taught her son of his vast Hebrew heritage.  His early impressions of the God of his fathers would be of a real, true, living God, who spoke, and acted, loved and cared for His people. From his early childhood, he would know that the gods of Egypt were but myths and shadows; and so, above all the learning he would get in the Egyptian schools, there was the mightier influence of the God his mother knew, to deliver him from superstition and error, and certainly he learned early to know God for himself.

As the son of the princess, Moses was raised as an Egyptian royal, well educated in all their laws and customs. He observed the harsh treatment the Hebrews were subject to as slaves to Pharaoh. Ultimately in response to God’s call on his life Moses returned to set his people free. Moses was raised up by God to be the deliverer of God’s people. The Hebrew people were enslaved for over 400 years when God, working through Moses demonstrated His plan to free His people. God sent ten plagues, one at a time with the intent of convincing Pharaoh to release God’s people. The plagues reigned down of the Egyptians but did not harm the Hebrews living in the same land. But, instead of Pharaoh realizing the power and sovereignty of the God of the Hebrews, Pharaoh hardened his heart more with each plague. The tenth and final plague was the death of the first born mail child from each family.

To spare His own people, God instructed the Hebrews to prepare a specific meal, and to eat it dressed ready to depart at any moment. He also instructed them to place the blood of the lamb they slaughtered for the evening meal, on the doorposts of their homes. This unusual request from Yahweh-God, is worth understanding. The Egyptians built all their houses out of temporary materials of mud and straw. The only stone aspect to the houses was the doorposts at the entry. The Hebrews by this time had adopted many of the customs of the Egyptians who inscribed their names on the stone doorposts as a declaration of eternal life. Therefore, when God had His people place the blood of the lamb on the doorposts of their homes, they literally covered their own name with the blood of the lamb–a foreshadow of the Lamb of God who would shed His blood for anyone who willingly submit themselves to the Lamb–Jesus.

As God promised, the death angel of the tenth plague roamed through the communities and the first born male of all homes that did not have the blood of the lamb painted on their door posts, was taken. In this Pharaoh’s own first-born son was subjected to death.

This was the point in time when Pharaoh, relented and allowed the Hebrews to leave. After 430 years in slavery scholars estimate the number of the Hebrews embarking on the exodus was anywhere from 70 to 2 million people. Through Moses, God set His people free and led them out of Egypt with the Egyptians giving them all sorts of gold and more essentially paying them to leave. Then as they traveled, they realized Pharaoh had sent his army after them to hunt them down. The Hebrews found themselves up against the Red Sea with Pharaoh’s army in hot pursuit. Fear gripped the entire Hebrew people and they began to turn against Moses. When all looked impossible and that the entire Hebew people would be wiped out, God miraculously parted the waters of the Red Sea allowing the Hebrews to travel through on dry ground. When all the Hebrews reached the other bank, God  ordered the waters to collapse thereby drowning all the Egyptians who pursued the Hebrews along with their horses and chariots .

Why do the prophets liken our times to that of the first Passover and Exodus? Consider the following:

Americans have been a distinct people who worshipped God whole heartedly seeking God to govern us. Over time however, after the death of a few God-fearing leaders, Americans have fallen away from their faithful commitment to God and become reliant instead upon government and themselves.Pharaoh of our day is known as the Cabal, a self-appointed elite people who do not fear or believe in God. Wanting to maintain control over us they have burdened us with heavy taxes, seeing us as their source for their own wealth and power.Fearing we could grow in numbers able to displace them, they legalized abortion, have sought to remove our gun rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and more.God has been keenly aware of all the enemy of God is doing through the Cabal, and has continually planned the timing of the birth of different individuals to become leaders the centuries. He has strategically eleveated them at the proper times to call His people back to proper worship of Him.COVID-19 has been a plague that’s impacted the entire world, as a scheme of the enemy to advance the Cabal. However, God has been intervening in such a way that His people are waking up to the truth and calling out to God for help, consistent with 2 Chronicles 7:14.In response, God has been exposing the corruption, which reveals the truth, allowing even more people to come to the truth of the existence of God and the existence of satan.As we have cried out to God to deliver us, He is organizing all matters in preparation for judgment against evil, at the same time allowing time as an extension of His mercy so those who will repent have every opportunity before “He parts the Red Sea.”

What should we be doing in the time of waiting?

Prayerfully outfit ourselves with the full armor of God adding worship to our time of prayer which is our most potent weapon.Pray for those who have been influenced by the enemy of God to realize the danger they are in and to repent and surrender themselves to God through faith in Jesus Christ.Thank the Lord for His faithfulness to His people and express your trust for His perfect plan and justice.Pray asking the Lord to comfort you and your loved ones and to help you in this time of intense warfare.Help comfort others with the truth of God’s existence and His covenant with His people reminding them that the enemy will never win–he is already a defeated foe.Keep yourself immersed in truth, and not Main Stream Media or other sources that are censoring truth and reporting deceptions.Praise God in advance as a means of demonstrating your faith in Him and His promises.

Make America Godly Again

 

“Mommy,” asked the young child, “What was it like to live in freedom where you could say and do what you wanted? I long to go outside and play. I long to see daddy. He’s gone so long every day and when he comes home from the labor camps he’s so exhausted he can’t even play with me. Mommy, will it always be like this? What happened that we lost our freedoms in our country of the United States?”

This is not a far fetched scenario, is it? This past year and more our freedoms as Americans have been grossly limited as those in government seek to limit us, making us subservient to them as they advance their evil, self-serving agenda on the American people. Are you willing to allow this to continue for yourself, your children, and your children’s children?

I have come up with my preferred slogan for the times we live, “Make America Godly Again” and I hope to get a huge following who will echo this slogan and make it a banner under which we operate. It is past time for us to reclaim America, and I hope you will choose to participate in what God is doing in our midst.

As I’ve been sharing on my podcast, what we have seen playing out worldwide since early 2020 is the ancient battle between good and evil. The battle has become so intense that it is no longer done behind the scenes, but right out in the open where it is plain to all who have eyes to see and hears to hear.

I’m grateful more and more are waking to truth, and coming to the realization that we’ve been lied to. We must also admit we have been ill equipped to respond to the times in which we’re living. This is a spiritual battle where God intends us to partner with Him to see His will done on earth as it is in heaven, and we need to quickly learn what we must do.

As I sought the Lord about this, I was reminded of the trend of events over recent decades that have left us in the poor condition we’re in. Think about it with me. In recent decades there’s been:

A push to silence Christians on every front limiting them to speak truth inside only inside their environmentA push to prevent Pastors from preaching/teaching about politics or governmentA push to separate church from state with the eventual commonly held belief that the church has no business in government or politicsA push to take prayer and the pledge of allegiance out of our public schoolsA push to revise American history as taught to public school studentsA push to silence any religious discussions on campuses or in busines environments under the guise of political correctnessA push for social acceptance of all sorts of beliefs, ideals and practices that are contrary to the word of God under the guise of toleranceA push to make popular the notion that truth is relative and not absoluteA push to increase abortionA push to increase belief that humans and the world evolvedA push to conclude we are racist at heartA push to make the notion accepted that the police are the problemA push to make gender a choice rather than a biological realityA push to cause us to trust and obey government doing what they say especially during this pandemicA push to have people accept any man-made EXPERIMENTAL vaccine for a man-made disease.

I’m sure I’ve left some things out, but let me ask you, what do you see in common with all the items on this list—or better stated what do you see as the spirit behind these realities?

At the top of the list the way I’ve intentionally ordered it is “A push to silence Christians on every front limiting them to speak truth inside only inside their environment and a push to prevent Pastors from preaching/teaching about politics or government.” And I believe it has been the acceptance of these top two, that has allowed everything else in the list to take root and grow.

Did you know that from the founding of our nation up to and through the end of the 20th century, elected governmental leaders spoke a great deal about the Bible and Pastors spoke a great deal about politics and government from the pulpits?

Up until the 20th century, Pastors had the leading role in society to help their congregations and the citizens of the nation understand the issues of politics and government. We had a two party system that allowed for civil discourse, debate, and respect for points of view other than our own.

David Barton, founder of Wall Builders wrote the following concerning the earlier times: “Christians knew that we held a dual citizenship – we were indeed citizens of heaven, but we were also citizens of earth. We recognized that God had placed us in a country and given us a stewardship over a government that belonged to “We the People.” Consequently, Pastor’s sermons covered not only the proper role and functions of civil government but also how government should approach certain issues and what God expected of citizens in the selection of our civil leaders”

Let me ask you, when was the last time You heard your Pastor speak boldly from the pulpit about politics and government? I’m not talking about endorsing one candidate over another, I’m talking about the general realities of governmental controls and our freedoms. Of all the people you know, isn’t your church leadership a major trusted source from which You’d willingly receive education on matters of politics and religion?

David Barton also posted an article by George Barna founder of the Barna Research Group, where surveys revealed Christians strongly want their Pastors to provide much more education about politics and government. I have a link to the article in the references provided below.

Why do you suppose the Pastors and Christians in general have accepted the notion that Pastors should not address politics or governmental issues?

Most would cite the Johnson Amendment of 1954 which has since been interpreted as silencing pastors on issues or topics of civil interest. Yet Christians of previous generations would never have submitted to a policy that so egregiously violated not only constitutional rights but our ability to preach according to what the Bible teaches.

We could also site FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an imposing force that has authority to “work with” faith based organizations for the benefit of the country under a national emergency such is declared today under COVID-19.

Then there’s the ill-conceived threat of the Church losing its 501c3 tax exempt status if the Pastor discusses politics. This is another widely believed lie. Bea and VendenBerk attorneys as law explains, “Some fear that churches will have to waive their first amendment freedom of speech rights in order to qualify as a 501(c)(3). This fear is unfounded. First, any organization that is properly classified as a church is automatically deemed tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, whether the church has applied for IRS recognition of its 501(c)(3) status or not. Churches may apply for IRS recognition of their exempt status (and receive what is called a “determination letter”), but they are not required to do so.”

Since in America we have a government that is to be run for the people and by the people, the people need to be informed. So, let me ask you again, what spirit do you think has been at work influencing men and women, including many of the Christian faith to be silenced and fearful of addressing specific topics? And more to the point for today, what do you think you should do about this?

Each of us as Believers and Christ followers have responsibility in God’s plan to have His Kingdom done on earth as it is in heaven. Praying is good. We need to pray for God’s intervention. But let us also understand, when God intervenes he largely works through His people. What can you do to make your prayers have impact according to James 2:14-26? Here is a list of suggestions that I hope will encourage you to think of more ways you can become part of God’s work on earth:

Get this article to your Pastor and Church leadersForm a small group to study the Constitution of the United States to know our rights and what we must work to protect for the future of the nation and out childrenVolunteer to hold a class in your church or home to help people study the issues and know how to exercise their rights to have their voice heardHold a Bible study that reveals how current issues are contrary to God’s Word according to 2 Corinthians 10:5Conduct a class or seminar to enlighten people how our government works and how each individual has the ability to make a differenceRecommend the Faith to Live By podcast as a resource to Christian leaders and congregants

From Crisis to Christ: Finding the Love of Your Life

Pamela and David Christian's Wedding Day

David breaking up with me literally broke me. I just knew he was the one I would marry. Barely able to see through my tears driving home, I opened the door to my condominium, dropping my purse and keys to the floor once inside, and stumbled over to the couch where I fell into it. I was sobbing from a depths of my soul I never knew existed. The tears streaming down my face were painfully hot. There were times I felt sheer agony and other times complete numbness.

I loved him and was certain he was the man I would marry.  To be loved and in a secure marriage was something I’d dreamed about from the time I was very little. My home life as a child was violent, abusive and terribly volitile.  I had always believed when I grew up I would get married and then I could satisfy the deep inner longing and finally feel secure.

I don’t know how long I laid there, when I found myself praying. God, Jesus, Father, Heavenly Spirit, if you are real and you love me as the Sunday school teacher told me You do when I went to church as a little girl, then I need you to help me now more than ever. I realize I’ve wanted Jesus to be my Savior to keep me from Hell, while I’ve lived as Lord of my own life. If You will, I want You to take my life and make something good of it because up until now I’ve only proven all I can do is make a mess of it.

Then most unexpectedly I heard the voice of the Lord speak to me. Not audibly but in my spirit and I’ve since taken the time to write it out to share with others. This is what I heard from God that night:

“Pamela, you only understand in part. I brought David into your life, and also took him out of your life to confirm to you that it is not an earthly relationship you deeply long for—you long for Me. You met Me once a long time ago. Don’t you remember? You were very little. You learned about Me from that Sunday school your parents let you attend with the neighbors. Remember? I promised you I would never leave or forsake you. I know you remember. You gave yourself to Me then. But through the years, My heart has been repeatedly rent because you have sought the love you need in many other ways—career, position, material possessions, relationships. Yet, I have kept My promise. Though you have never acknowledged Me in your heart of hearts—you only see Me as Savior for your eternal future—I AM the God of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Now Pamela, I will wait no longer. Today, I have removed from you that which you perceive to be what you deeply long for so that you can finally and abruptly see the truth about who and what you really need.”

My tears stopped flowing. My soul was quieted. I had a profound sense of peace. And the deep inner longing within me was finally and completely satisfied. In awe, I remained motionless, gratefully reflecting on what God had just said to me, pondering and cherishing it, confident in the truth of His words.

I prayed to the Lord again, thanking Him and promising my whole life to Him. Since that night there has never been even a hint of turning back. I was radically changed in that moment and God has been at work within me ever since to continue the transformation. Having found the unfathonable and tremendous love of God the Father, through faith in Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, just as God said, I finally realized who and what I truly needed. There is  no earthly love that will ever satisfy us the way the love of the Father does. And as Scriptures reveal, when we seek Him first, He will add all the rest of what we need and desire to us. A few months later David and I met again and we were ultimately married. In April 2021 we will be celebrating thirty-five years of marriage.

In the midst of a crisis we can’t see how God can actually use the crisis to bless us, but He does if we sincerely call out to Him in faith and wait on His perfect plan. Whatever you may be suffering or enduring, I encourage you to seek the Lord in all abandon, willing to surrender yourself completely to Him. I am confident you will immediately sense His love and comfort. Then, in time You will see Him redeem your suffering and turn it into blessings. Beleive this truth as it is a promise revealed by God  as we read in Romans 8:28-30 “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. (ESV)

I hope this testimony encourages you. There is nothing more I want to do than spend my time, talent and treasure helping other people discover and live in the same life-giving truth I’ve been blessed to find. Through my book series and my podcast both titled “Faith to Live By” I endeaver to help you live the victorious life Christ died to give us. Let me hear from you. Let me know if the work I do is helping you, or if there is a particular topic you want me to address. Email me at FaithtoLiveBy@PamelaChristianMinisatries.com.
