NOTHING LIKE THE WORD OF THE LORD

1 Peter 5:4-11

King James Version (KJV)

⁴ And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
⁵ Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
⁶ Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
⁷ Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
⁸ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
⁹ Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
¹⁰ But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
¹¹ To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

In a world that is passing away, there is nothing like the word of the Lord to strengthen and comfort.  All praise and glory to God. 

Here we are on the edge of a potentially historic storm, with potential to change more than the landscape.  Fifty million people may be disenfranchised by inability to vote due to mass power outages, etc.  Seems like that is more of a concern than the potential loss of human life.  Currently, forty people have lost their lives to this storm and thousands affected by flooding.  More human suffering.  Prayers for all in its' path of destruction.

Keep your hearts and minds set on things above for He is our hope and our salvation.  And He is coming to reign.

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.  1 John 2:28 (KJV)

Stay blessed and keep looking up for our redemption is drawing nigh.  Come Lord Jesus, come quickly.  Don't listen to the scoffers or those who are already dead, because the Lord will return and He will not tarry.  Rejoice and make a glad sound unto the Lord.  He is our strength and our refuge, and whom shall we fear.  Nobody but our mighty, mighty Saviour.

Be encouraged and let not your heart be troubled for we know this world is going to pass away. God is going to do amazing things - really, really amazing things.

JOY UNSPEAKABLE

Let's see..we were being told Americans are going to riot if Obama gets into office again. Now they are saying if Obama doesn't get in, and people feel like the election has been stolen, there will be riots.  Obama allegedly promises to be more boisterous for the next debate.  Why was he not during the first debate?  They are working everything, and I mean everything for their purpose.  I don't want to give the illusion of caring about our political system because I do not.  I am done with their lies and corruption, their deceitfulness and manipulation.  I hear many people say when voting they try and figure out which candidate is the lesser of the two evils.  Voting for the 'perceived' lesser evil is still voting for evil.  They are all evil no matter how you perceive them.  They are all cut from the same cloth and all will do the bidding of Israel or their careers (or lives) are distinguished.

These are two very touchy subjects - politics and the nation of Israel.    These entities are intertwined and in America, you can't have one without the other.  I know this may anger and offend many people, but truth has a way of doing that.

Are they preparing to start an American Spring, or would it be an American Fall then?  Everything is so mixed up, upside down and twisted - just as the temporary rulers of the world, and we should know they are capable of anything.  Using the election to spark chaos, upheavel, bloodshed and discontent would be an easy task for their undertaking.

In all the confusion and doublespeak, know that by His grace and mercy, we are ade wise as serpents and gentle as doves and it is us who inherit the earth.

Peter 1:7-9 KJV
7  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8  Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though new ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9  Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
