THE LORD WILL BE THE HOPE OF HIS PEOPLE

Joel 3:11-16 (King James Version)

11Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.

12Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.

13Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

15The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

16The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
Amen.

The Lord our God is drawing near. The signs are everywhere and cannot be as easily dismissed any more. The events, catastrophes and signs are increasing in frequency and intensity. Whether the birthing pains have just begun or are near completion; whether the occurences we are witnessing are due to technology weaponry being used against 'terra' (latin for earth and inhabitants) or it is the very hand of God, we cannot know. Either way it is, the one thing for sure is, prophecy is being fulfilled. Rejoice for all His ways.

The Japan quake today was such a powerful event with devastating lasting results. Over a hundred aftershocks that must feel like a constant shaking to the survivors, with a 6.6 magnitude occuring on a different fault zone. The earth's crust has a new rift open approximately 200 miles long and the earth's axis was moved ten inches. Heartfelt prayers for all affected everywhere by this tragedy as well as every human everywhere in need of Jesus. Within hours of the quake, a volcano in Indonesia erupted. The destruction and suffering, the lives being interrupted and turned upside down, and all that we are witnessing is all in His hands and serving His plan. This is faith. The end of this system of things is the just the beginning. Ready or not, the tribulation will continue and the Lord will finish what He has begun.

Trust Him to whom all the glory is given, our mighty Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who is the only One worthy to open the book of life and judge of the whole world. Where our strength comes from.

Reposting this comment here. I wrote it earlier this morning on the last thread.

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.

Hi Sandra, What a difference a day can make. I am thankful the tsunami did not affect your area, and yes - lots and lots of prayers for all who are suffering and more prayers. They are predicting high winds from the fallout all the way here in the midwest. Phenomenal, isn't it? Great link; I like Naomi Klein's work a lot. She is very knowledgable and always informative. She sees the big picture and I would bet she is a true believer.

As far as Obama goes, he does not care about the little people. He speaks with a forked tongue. His actions and his words are not in sync.

Big event in Palestine on March 15th:

Stay blessed and keep looking up.


...Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

We are going to witness the greatest show ever.

Something else that is phenomenal - this unprecedented seizmic activity:

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.php

Fears of nuclear meltdown in Japan and the news is reporting that another large quake may be coming. HAARP in Gakona, AK allegedly registered activity during the time of the quake, but of course I cannot verify this. Come to think of it, I can't verify much of anything other than what my Spirit is telling me.

A time like no other is upon us and the battle rages.

Our God is so amazing.

There will be an 'extreme supermoon' next Saturday. It is extreme because it is a full moon during the perigee - when it is closest to earth. Pretty interesting:

First Sunday of Lent

Those at the edge of any system and those excluded from any system, ironically and invariably hold the secret for the conversion and wholeness of that very group. They always hold the feared, rejected, and denied parts of the group’s soul. You see, therefore, why the church was meant to be that group that constantly went to the edges, to the “least of the brothers and sisters,” and even to the enemy. Jesus was not just a theological genius, but he was also a psychological and sociological genius. When any church defines itself by exclusion, it is always wrong. It is avoiding its only vocation, which is to be the Christ.

Only as the People of God receive the stranger, the sinner, and the immigrant, those who don’t play our game our way, do we discover not only the hidden, feared, and hated parts of our own souls, but the fullness of Jesus himself. We need them for our own conversion.

The Church is always converted when the outcasts are re-invited back into the temple. You see this in Jesus’ commonly sending marginalized people that he has healed, back into the village, back to their family, or back to the temple to “show themselves to the priests.” It is not just for their re-inclusion and acceptance, but actually for the group itself to be renewed.

Our Father, help us to lift our eyes above the disquieting things around us. Help us to center our thoughts and affections on you.

Thanks for posting that, Sandra. Can we imagine the love and joy that must have filled those who Jesus healed. The joy and thankfulness would make for an undeniable testament to the power of Jesus.

Southern Japan has had a volcano erupt today and continues to be rocked with hundreds of aftershocks. Another reactor has exploded, as all five most likely will and it surely will affect the world markets. It appears many are more concerned with the affect on the stock market than with the toll of human suffering and death. Over a million and a half people are without food and water. Hundreds of thousands are being evacuated.

Love and holy kisses to you Sandra for blessing me by helping me lift my eyes above the disquieting things around us.

Galatians 5:5 (KJV)
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

Praise His holy name and give thanks for all He has done, is doing and is yet to come.

And a new 10-foot tsunami wave:

My prayer FF is all will come to the knowledge and will of the Lord. I know the imposter is roaming the earth deceiving the masses as Jesus told us would happen in the end times. As the earth shakes we are reminded of all that man builds can be destroyed in minutes. Where do we place our faith????? Christ working through his people will spread the word on his love through works of caring and help.

Prayers continue for the people in Japan...it is so heartbreaking to see the devastation.

Paul Gunter is a co-founder of the Clamshell Alliance anti-nuclear group, who was arrested at Seabrook Station Nuclear Power Plant for non-violent civil disobedience on several occasions. An energy policy analyst and activist, he has been a vocal critic of nuclear power for more than 30 years. Gunter worked as the Director of the Reactor Watchdog Project for Nuclear Information and Resource Service for almost 20 years.

I don't know if we are being told the complete truth on the nuclear threat caused by the disaster of the nuclear plants in Japan. I pray we are hearing the truth but decided to post this interview. I also have been against nuclear plants because of the radioactive waste generated from the plants. We are destroying our Mother earth with all this waste.

Greetings Sandra. The current suffering in Japan is devastating, and unfortunately we know that we are never being told the truth by the temporary powers that be for they are all of their father the devil. That is how they got to be where they are and they are in the process of the last stage to get all the control of the world's nations to institute their satanic new world order. We can expect to see some very, very dramatic events.

But fear not, for the closer they get to completing their oppressive mission of control of the world, in essence believing themselves to have replaced God, then it is game over for them and all their wicked ways.

The greatest show on earth. How blessed are we to witness and to be witnesses to bring Him glory in this most incredibly, amazing time.

There are great things in store for his people. This I know because the Bible tells me so.

Have no fear and trust in the Lord.

I will check the clip out a little later, and I am so blessed by your presence.

Stay blessed and keep looking up.

The news is reporting that we are one step away from the point of no return. The disaster in Japan are classified from 1-7, and currently they rate the dire situation at a 6. Chernobyl was a 7.

Nuclear armageddon. Financial armageddon. A 'bloodbath' of a civil war in the Ivory Coast. Clinton is over in Egypt to cheer the protestors on in the name of 'democracy' and Saudi Arabia has entered Bahrain in an attempt to quell the protests. Iran is loudly voicing its displeasure and concern about that. Geithner makes a recent statement saying the US may welcome a world currency.

They are warning us about the big one coming to California, and we should be prepared for this as a real possibility. There seems to be a pattern of these monster quakes that are all taking place on coastal areas. I highly suspect HAARP, but that is just my sense and may not be accurate.

It is a time like no other.

Prayers for all those who are suffering in this world. Prayers for all who are seeking the Lord God Jesus Christ.

Sandra said...

FF: I also wonder about HAARP in all these disasters.

Where is Waldo?????

Hi Sandra. Good article, and when I read it all I could think is Waldo does as Waldo is told - nothing more, nothing less. They are all of the same cloth. The video was very informative and thanks for posting it.

"Let me make this perfectly clear: it is the United Nations, not the United States," said the hired reporter, (like they're not one and the same), "that has just declared a no-fly zone over Libya with possible immediate action." Quadaffi is vowing 'no mercy.' This is an act of war and will be viewed as such. Iran continues to threaten Saudi Arabia over Bahrain and the world's financial stability is as unstable as the earth's magnetic fields. We are at a point of no return and arriving there at a quickened speed. Why would anyone want to return anyway? What we have in store for us is better, far far better than all the gold and silver combined.

Love and peace to all.

We are rockin' now. Here's the possible reason for the HAARP attack on Japan - and on MSM - go figure:

Hi FF,
Praise His Holy Name. I could not get through the day without Jesus as my guide.

Here is a link on HAARP. I am not sure who writes this blog or whether they truly believe Jesus is the answer for this troubled world but thought I would link it here for your consideration.

I am seeing so much lately on what the elites are doing to the poor, elderly and disabled to cut programs that help the least among us while the rich get more tax breaks. They are out in the open now and not even trying to hide their hatred for the least among us.

Amen, Sandra. Jesus is our everything and all the glory to our amazing God.

I can't wait to check out your links and PeterZ's video.

Everything will be revealed including their hatred for us little people.

Love and prayers.
