GOD'S TIME IS NOT OUR TIME

Here we are on the cusp of a new year. The famed "2012" has almost arrived. We know this as man's time. but man's time is not God's time. At this point in time, I believe His servants hear His voice and know what time it is and it has little to do with the time that man goes by. Only the Father knows the hour when our Lord and Saviour's glorious return shall come, and giving a date to watch for in man's time is futile because God does not operate according to our time. Nonetheless, it is an exciting time to be alive and watch the old pass away and hold to all the promises that the New Jerusalem will bring when the heavens scroll back. Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; and there was no more sea. Amen. He is coming to make all things new. Then will there be true joy and true peace on the earth. Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Amen. How mighty is our mighty God. The mightiest and the greatest. Come Lord Jesus, come quickly.

COMET LOVEJOY

Greetings on this wonderful day the Lord has made. I am filled with hope recently with all the signs taking place in the Heavenlies. This whole year has been a rather astounding year in many different ways, but Comet Lovejoy has captured my rapt attention lately. Luke 21:25 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring. (amen). Comet Lovejoy perplexed scientists this week when it wasn't burned up by its' proximity to the sun. Instead it performed a slingshot around the sun and is now lighting up the pre-dawn skies with brilliant displays. Comet Lovejoy is named after the amateur astronomer Terry Lovejoy of Australia who discovered it as recently as December 2nd. It came in on the heels of a blood-red lunar ecliplse and left on the winter solstice. I don't know if that means anything, but the timing seems rather exceptional as well as the size of Lovejoy as it was ten times the usual size of the Kreutz family comets. Yesterday the sun threw out a C-class coronal mass ejection, and today there were M-class flare eruptions that are directed at earth and Mars. The earth's magnetic field is due to be hit on the 28th and said to be arriving at the same time as solar winds which have nothing to do with the eruptions, but the solar winds are a storm in and of themselves. The earth's weakening magnetic field will receive a double hit. The sunspot causing the eruptions will be turning towards earth in the coming days and is being watched closely for more eruptions. And the comet's name alone, Lovejoy - you gotta love that. May it be a sign our redemption is drawing nigh. All praise and glory to the one and only true God. Blessings to all.

"ARE WE THERE YET?"

This is a question that is frequently asked by young children of their parents when they are on a journey traveling to an unknown and unseen destination that really can't be envisioned by the child who asks the question. The child of course can't really make sense of the answers given to this question, but the child can most likely grasp that the longer they travel, the closer they are getting to the place they are traveling to. Like that child, we are getting closer to our destination. After a couple thousand years of sowing and growing, the harvest time is drawing near. Matthew 24:35-40 King James Version (KJV) 35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Be strong in the Lord and know that all His words and true, and will never pass away. While this world is drawing to an end of this age, cling only to that which will remain. Philemon 1:25 KJV The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

EVERYTHING HE DOES IS PRICELESS

1 John 2:28 KJV 28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. In a world that values nothing more as much as it does money, our Lord gives us so much more than anything that money can buy and it can't be purchased by any amount of money.  The Lord paid the ultimate price to give it to us freely.  A debt we can never repay. This amazing gift the Lord has bestowed on us who are so undeserving, should humble us into servitude for this profound gift of love. It is hard to imagine not being ashamed before him at his coming. Being made joint heirs with Christ in the Kingdom of God is a tremendous proposition; a very joyous and exciting proposition for those who choose wisely. All praise and glory to God our mighty Father in Heaven.

'SORROW AND SIGHING SHALL FLEE AWAY'

Isaiah 35

 ¹The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
 ²It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
 ³Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
 ⁴Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
 ⁵Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
 ⁶Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
 ⁷And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
 ⁸And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
 ⁹No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
 ¹⁰And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
