BEHOLD WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR US

2 Timothy 4:8 (King James Version)

8Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.


A crown of thorns for our Lord and Savior, yet a crown of righteousness for those who love Him.

He humbled Himself for us and He died for us.

Behold all what He has done for us and give Him thanks and praise. Love Him with all your heart, with all your mind and all your strength.

FF,
It is all coming out because they just don't care to hide it anymore because they know the American people are so brain washed with superficial things like the stupid Oscars on TV.

The networks did not even cover the protests in Wisconsin or around the country this weekend.

Hey and what about the president not commenting on the protest for over a week even though he said if elected and collective bargaining was threatened he would be right there walking in support of their rights.

I am disgusted with how easily people are manipulated because it is easier to believe a lie than research and find the truth.

Greetings Sandra.

I understand getting disgusted with people's lack of awareness, but we must understand that all that is taking place, and also lack of, is to bring about the prophecy foretold about so many years ago and everything is what is meant to be. Most are lost, and likely too scared to look at the truth because the truth can be daunting for those with little faith - never mind there are many who may not really want the Lord to return. The Lord blesses whom He shall bless and it is a blessing that you can see and have ears to hear. God is good to those who love Him and works all things for the good.

A global revolution of sorts is in the works and we must pray incessantly not to be deceived. Events will start to happen more quickly with deeper intensity. Things are not always what they may seem. Austerity measures are now going to be imposed on the American people like they have been doing in other countries that have caused mass protests and riots.

People in Saudi Arabia are plannng a 'day of rage' on March 11th.

Our world is quivering:

You got me thinking about the blindedness that people suffer, as I grapple with this issue frequently. Occasionally I try to bring up light-hearted conversation with people who I know have no desire to understand the crumbling world around them, about major world happenings and such, and invariably the response is always the same. "I have enough trouble with my own problems to worry about that." And that's that. They don't want to concern themselves. Just as the Lord said, people will go on doing the things that we busy ourselves with in this life. But it does not mean it is not happening just the same. Noah was ridiculed for 100 years while he built the ark. In those days it didn't even rain; the Lord sent morning dew to refresh, so Noah appeared really crazy to everyone (but his family) but in spite of it all, remained faithful to the Lord. I love Noah.

Love you too, Sandra. Thanks for the company!

PressTV has great coverage of the protests in Wisconsin and other states. Most are starting to call the austerity measures in the US, a war on democracy and the middle class.

http://www.presstv.ir/detail/167419.html

Israeli airstrike on Gaza has killed one. The US wants military action in Libya. N.Korea is threatening to strike S.Korea again...wars and rumors of war.

Time is short for this system of things. I rejoice and make a glad sound unto the Lord for all His ways. Come Lord Jesus, come quickly.

Sandra said...

FF,
You hit it on the head when it comes to awareness. People just don't care unless it affects them directly. The problem is it might not affect them directly right now but it will eventually affect them and they will wonder why they never saw it coming.

I am just getting over the flu so was stuck in the house all week watching the news and was just frustrated on how slanted it has become.

Keith O launched his news blog:

Jesus is the truth and the way...that is for sure.

Tired and still recovering so closing for now to try and get some sleep. Enjoy your evening FF and all.

I am sorry to hear you have not been well, Sandra and hope your rest is healing.

I agree...our little worlds will collide with the big world. I guess I would rather see it coming than be blindsided. I can see the blissfulness of the ignorance, meaning just not knowing, but it is not what God has called His children to do.

Thanks for Olbermann's site.

My area is having a bad thunderstorm (in February - go figure), that will turn to ice overnight. We have now broke the record for snowfall in February since the 1800s. California is experiencing freezing temps that are expected to kill the wine industry.

I have been coming across articles that have some people believing that a HAARP earthquake is being planned for May, 2011 in the New Madrid fault. Time will tell and everything will be revealed. Whether we want to know or not.

Protests now in Croatia as well and the Syrian people are starting to call for Assad to step down.

The day will come when every single person in the world will have to reckon with what we are witnessing. A major shaking surely is about to manifest itself. There's no denying the birth pains are getting closer. Well, actually I guess there is denial as we said, but soon...that will change.

Sandra, I would just like to say that I have never meant you any harm, quite the opposite actually, and I know how steadfast in my convictions and thus appearing closed off sometimes, but it is my prayer that you and I can get back to that very special meeting place where we were before. Growing pains can be painful, but so incredibly worth it. I desire truth according to His word with nothing added to nor taken away from it and throw the rest out. Unfortunately, there's a lot out there that needs to be thrown out.

Love with prayers for quick healing.

S.Korea and the US are practicing war games again. That's why the North is nervous.

FF,
Thank you for reaching out in peace and love to heal the divide that developed between the two of us. I would like to extend a hand in friendship and to let the misunderstandings of the past be left in the past. Yes let us start over and realize that at times we might not agree but that is OK. Disagreeing on issues comes about because we all have come to this point in time from different backgrounds and we are working through our issues in a loving community. ♥♥♥

faithful forever said...

Thank you for reaching back, Sandra...and the blessing that comes from loving each other in spite of ourselves. We certainly do get in the way, don't we? I hope you are feeling stronger. The flu and a horrible cough are very prevalent currently in my neck of the woods.

The greed of those who love money is beyond our comprehension because we do not worship it like they do. This is how crooks like Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein says banks are doing God's work. That is how ridiculously delusional and deceived they are. They are not just saying it, they truly believe such and don't have an idea how deceived they are. Just as we cannot understand worshipping mammon, they cannot comprehend worshipping Jesus. Thus is our world. The lines are drawn and there are only two sides. I am grateful to our God for placing us on the same side of this battle...the victorious side.

Jesus tells us the love of money is the root of all evil. It is running rampant too, in all areas of our world. Their time grows short; rest assured. They won't be taking their riches with them where they are going while we will enjoy streets paved in gold.

And so much more...better than we can even imagine because our amazing God is so awesomely good.

Love and peace in His name.

Love you muchly too Annon. My brother who needs to come around much more often! I will take what I can get, though and be content to know you are always there. That is such a blessing.

2 Chronicles 7:3
And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
Amen.

May we soon, too, see His fire come down upon the house and worship Him with our faces to the ground upon the pavement. He has wonderously amazing things in store for His children that cannot compare to the strife of this world, and there certainly is a lot of strife.

Imagine Heaven on earth and may the peace of Christ surround you and fill you up as only He can.

Sandra said...

Love you too Annon. I am sure the Lord just shakes his head sometimes saying those silly girls....they don't know how much they have in common.

Still recovering from the flu but feeling better than a week ago. It has hit my community hard.

FF....yes I think sometimes we do get side tracked and our ego gets in the way of truly following the Lord. For my part in the offensive behavior I am sorry.

Let us go forward in love and truth and know as the Lord forgives us we must also forgive and to learn a lesson from this experience. Peace in his Holy Name.

US warships are set to enter the Suez Canal with very little time wasted. Heavy sigh. There's oil in them hills.

March is coming in like a lion, but that's not a reference to the weather. I think it is going to be a very revealing month.

Sandra, indeed, forward in love and truth, with forgiveness in our hearts. Back to that special meeting place and onward Christian soldier!

...but the greatest of gifts is love. Thank you for loving me enough to forgive me, and for the many blessings you bring. May our Lord and Savior continue to bind us stronger and tighter as only He can. To be as one, as He and the Father are.

Imagine...

How great is our God.

The elites don't even try to hide their interest in reducing their taxes while cutting programs that aid the poor:

faithful forever said...

The audacity of evil, huh, Sandra? Their 'in your face' attitude reveals who they are, which master they serve and how short their time is. Thanks for sharing it. Their fancy terms of 'austerity measures' and 'quantative easing' are nothing more than stealing from the poor and ensuring they have what they need. Our Father in Heaven has provided enough for all. They desire all the world's resources for global dominance and they are getting close to achieving that goal. But they do not succeed, their plans do not come to fruition as our Lord tells us and they will be charged a hefty price of which their hoarded treasures will be of no value and absolutely no help. They can take everything from us but our Holy Spirit, which is far more precious than any earthly treasure and of which they have none of, and will sustain us. Our Lord will provide.

This I know for certain. How great is our God.

Luke 12:24-34 (King James Version)

24Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Amen.

Stay blessed and keep looking up.

More war and more rumors of war. They want war and they want it bad. 'They' have historically funded both sides of the conflict and most likely we are witnessing the same twistedly wicked scenario involving Libya.

http://www.news889.com/news/world/article/194588--obama-cameron-discuss-libya-options-clinton-says-un-must-make-no-fly-zone-decision

No fly zones, no matter how they try and spin it, is an act of war and will be perceived as such because that is what it is. The US is telling the UN to impose it thus seemingly exhonorating the nation calling for the no fly zone, even though it is to save the lives of the Libyan citizens and protestors being fired upon by Gadaffi supporters.

My, what a wicked web is weaved when deception is practiced. They have certainly mastered the craft of deception. Like their father the devil.

Tomorrow begins the holiest time of the christian calendar. It too has been twisted with pagan practices by those same deceptive entities. It is of no wonder why our Lord comes back with such anger against this rampant mob that has encompassed the whole world.

Come, our Lord and Savior Jesus, come quickly.

The closer they get to fulfilling their agenda, the closer the great and awful day draws near.

Stay watchful. Stay blessed.

Luke 21:31 (KJV)
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Amen.

Luke 12:37 (KJV)
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.

A very loud and joyful sound unto the Lord for saving us even while we are sinners. He died to save us and serve us, and still the world rejects Him. All praise, glory and honor to Jesus Christ. The savior of the world.

14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

My prayers go out to the people of Japan who had a massive earthquake. In my area in Washington state we have a tsunami advisory. I am by the water but think I will be OK.

This might not be politically correct but I am tired of President Obama's "winning the future theme". He needs to start thinking of the hurting people of today in this country and what the elites are doing to take control.

Excerpt from link below:
As a wave of anti-union bills are introduced across the country following the wake of Wall Street financial crisis, many analysts are picking up on the theory that award-winning journalist and author Naomi Klein first argued in her 2007 bestselling book, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism. In the book, she reveals how those in power use times of crisis to push through undemocratic and extreme free market economic policies. “The Wisconsin protests are an incredible example of how to resist the shock doctrine,” Klein says.
