I do not like to use the unbiblical term “Easter” for the observance of the single most important day in human history for it has in its origins the Pagan fertility goddess Ishtar. Yes, this is where we get the “bunny” and the “eggs” both symbols of fertility for the fertility goddess. So why do we celebrate this day on a Sunday and what does it have to do with of Jesus of Nazareth? We must look into the Jewish, not pagan, origins, to gain knowledge, to bring us to a place of understanding, that we might walk in Wisdom. To observe this holy and sacred day, with reverence and joyous celebration.

First lets look at the life, death, burial, and that “Resurrection Day“!!!

His Life; Born in the place of the ceremonial lambs in Bethlehem, Judea in the spring time at the time of the sacrificial lambs birthing. Laid in a manger and wrapped just like a ceremonial lamb. By age 12 knew he would be about His Fathers business and grew in wisdom and stature before God and man. Baptized by John in the River Jordan, began His 3 year ministry of healing the sick, bringing sight to the blind, and freeing those held in satanic bondage. He healed all manner of infirmities. And declared that the Kingdom of Heaven had come to earth. Finally He came to that ordained moment of time to fulfill more prophecy as He enters Jerusalem on the back of a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey. Zech 9:9. To the shouts of praise!

Palm Sunday; Hosanna hosanna in the highest, his triumphal entry in through the “East Gate” prophetically declared by the prophet Ezekiel 44:1-3, and to the exact day by Daniel 9:25. As The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the WORLD, He needed to be inspected.

10th of Nisan (Abib) – 14th of Nisan (Abib) Exodus 12:1-7.

He was inspected for #4 days by the religious leaders in the temple area and by political leaders and found to be without flaw, worthy to be suited as the Lamb. The selected lamb was to be inspected by the priests to be found worthy for the “Passover” sacrifice.

Which on His last night he prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane at the base of Mt of Olives: as it were great drops of blood, “Father if there be ..another way… let this cup pass from me, but not my will but yours be done”. Oh what kind of LOVE is this? (Mk.14:32,Lk22:39-44)

His Death; The Atoning sacrifice as The Passover Lamb, we read in the account it was time for the Passover Feast in Jerusalem. Mathew 27, John 19. Being flogged and scourged beyond anything we can fathom or comprehend He willingly went to The Cross, high and lifted up, yet even there He still fulfilling prophecy found enough strength and Grace to ask forgiveness to those that placed Him there (All Mankind) afterwards He gave up His spirit, and was verified to have died by the Roman Executionary Guard, by piercing His side. Followers and true believers sought permission to remove him and prepare Him for burial before sundown on the Sabbath (Friday evening-Saturday evening).

His Burial; Placed in an unused tomb, by Kings and by the poor, yes my dear friends fulfilling even more prophetic signs of The One. Scripture informs us of the deeds He conducted during his time in Death, Hell, and the Grave. Ministering to those in darkness and bound in chains til that final day.

and finally…

Resurrection Day; This occurred on the “Third Day” which in that particular year, never a coincidence with The Lord! Early Sunday morning the day after the Sabbath Day (#7) which is day (#8). Eight is the number of New beginnings in Hebrew, just as in circumcision on the 8th day. Mathew 28, John 20.

To validate the sacrifice, the offering up of himself to fulfil the ordinances written and foreshadowing Him, God The Father raised Him to life in glorious manner, in an INSTANT the Light and Power of Heaven burst forth from within radiating outward. Raising this man Jesus (Yeshua) from death unto LIFE. Securing a Hope, for as many as would believe. He became The First Fruits The Wave offering. As Paul writes if Christ raised not from the dead, we are to be pitied above all men for we are still dead in our sins. But He Did raise from the dead and made Himself known and visible for 40 days, prior to departing to “Prepare” a place for His beloved, those that have put there faith in Him, The Acceptable Harvest of which The First Fruits offering was for.

I want to mention briefly the shroud of Turin. I do not want to mislead any so I will say this; I do not know nor do I claim anything about this cloth other than this interesting bit of information. There is an imaged burned, like an x-ray into the cloth and it replicates an amazing 3 dimensional view of “whomever” was wrapped in that linen. They have now created a life size carbon image of the shroud, it is described as that person being beaten so severely with over 600 wounds which were counted Bruised, wounded, pierced, and flesh torn, and afflicted . (Isaiah 53)

Passover was not the only observance that was symbolically fulfilled that weekend, Jewish Festivals of Unleavened Bread, First fruits- Wave Offering, were also completed by Yeshua. So let us, this season abandon the pagan playful games, reunite with the True symbolisms and meaning of this Amazing and Glorious Day.

Resurrection Day

From an Eternal Throne to a lowly manger

From the manger to The Cross

From The Cross to a tomb

From a tomb TO LIFE EVERLASTING in Radiant Glory!!!

That same glory awaits ALL that put their trust and faith in Him whose Name alone is Worthy of All our praise! Today if you would humble your Hearts and Hear The Spirits voice, accepting His Free gift of Grace and salvation. You too shall be SAVED

That was the question, and that is what it was ultimately called. This substance that was provided during a mass wandering for a mass of humanity. So what is this strange substance that fed the nation of Israelites as they wandered through the desert regions for forty, yes forty years. And was also enclosed in the Ark of The Covenant.

Manna; means; what is it? Exodus 16:4 God says He “will rain down Bread from heaven”. It was provided on a daily basis, and only enough for each person for one day, on the 6th day there was enough provided to last for two days through the Sabbath day so as not to have to labor for it, as an ordained day of rest. Psalms 78:23-25 says it was the “bread” of angels and the “grain” of heaven. Grain, bread very symbolic terms for whatever it was.

Grain to flour to Bread elements used for fellowship and memorial offerings in Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy, and The Bread of The Presence in The Tabernacle (the presence of whom?)…Let that rise for a moment in your ponderings.

Jesus referred to himself as the Bread of Heaven as well as The Bread of Life, so lets look at some BREAD besides that mentioned above. John 6:32-35

Feast of Unleavened Bread observed for 7 days prior to the Passover Feast.

Jesus the Word made flesh. When He, Jesus, was tempted by the devil in the account found in Mathew 4:4 a peculiar thing jumps out. The devil tries to get Jesus to make Bread, from a stone? Ok so what does stone represent; a hard heart of stone, the stone tablets on which The Ten Commandments were written, gravestones in the Kidron Valley? When stone or rock is crushed it becomes…dust…powder. Remember in Genesis The LORD GOD made man from the “dust” of the earth. Fine flour like powder was prescribed to be used in making the Bread offerings in the OT. Fine flour likened to dust. What about the Bread? Man shall not live by “Bread” alone but by every WORD spoken by the Mouth of God (Rhema) the spoken WORD. Was Jesus’ reply. That Spoken WORD is that Written WORD becoming flesh in the body of Jesus of Nazareth, who stated this is my body, as he broke the Unleavened Bread of the feast on the night he was betrayed. Take and eat of it he commanded Mt.26:26,Mk.14:22,Lk.22:19,1Cor.11:23-24. He also is on record of saying whoever will not eat of his flesh will in no ways enter the Kingdom of heaven. (Flesh=Body=Word=Bread)

So what is it? It is an understanding a “revelation” that we must have a complete confidence and TRUST in The Bread, that is The Father will nourish us through The Son, Jesus the Christ. That He alone is more than capable to provide all that we need. “Give US this Day our Daily Bread” (Mt.6:11). As we enter into this season of joyous celebration, take some time to remember that staple of Life, Bread.

In the personal, relational, communion (koinonia), and interactions and be partakers of and with Jesus our Great Redeemer The Living Bread, The Living Word.

What is the Fragrance, the Quality, the Character or Eternal Attributes of Him whom we simply call “God”.

YHWH Yireh means He is our Provider!

YHWH Roi means He is our Shepherd!

YHWH Rapha means He is our Healer!

YHWH Nissi means He is our Banner (Standard) !

YHWH Shalom means He is our Peace!

YHWH Tsidkenu means He is our Righteousness!

YHWH Tsori means He is our Strength!

YHWH Shammah means He is Present (With us)

YHWH Shuah means He is our Salvation

These are but a few of the describing Qualities and the Character of The Lord our God. In Colossians 1:19 it states that “it pleased God (YHWH) to have ALL His fulness dwell in Him”. Again, reiterated in Colossians 2: 9 it declares that …”in Christ [Yeshua HaMeshiach ( Jesus the Messiah)] That the FULLNESS of The Deity (Godhead) dwelt in bodily form, and that you (His disciples) have been given fulness in Messiah (Christ).

This means that ALL the NAMES, ALL the Fragrances, ALL the Character and ALL Quality of that which we simply call God was made manifest in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. To deny Him is to deny The NAME (HaShem) that Dwelt in FULL measure in Him.

He IS the Great I AM, The Self Existent One, besides Him there is No Other.

THE LORD of Lords and THE KING of Kings.

To Know HIM and to make HIM known! And the POWER of HIS NAME!!!

Salvation is found in NO ONE ELSE, For there is No other NAME under heaven (nor on Earth) given unto men by which we MUST BE SAVED. That at The NAME of Jesus (Yeshua) every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God The Father. Acts 4:12/Phil.2:9

Amen

A Standard is only as meaningful as its longevity. If a standard is always being altered and changed how then is it a standard at all? If everyone has a different standard, again there is No standard. For what is right to each individual is a mere image of ones own perspective. Therefore we MUST turn towards an “Eternal” everlasting Standard. One that does not sway by popular consent, or for an individuals ideals. No we must be willing to submit to the notion and the concept, and as for me the Truth, that a Higher Authority and that Higher Authority’s Standard is what we as humanity needs. Not only for the individuals own betterment but also for that as a moral compass as a society at large. A society or nation built upon Freedom and Liberty can only function and flourish for as a morally guided people.

Once the “Standard” becomes skewed how easy it then becomes to utterly do away with that “Old” Standard and impose a “new” lesser weakened standard. Case in point, America built upon the Judean/Christian Standard is now become a nation whose compass and moral direction is tossed about by every wind of doctrine and feel good mantra.

A Standard is being raised, the Righteous shall run to it, Stand for It, and promote It. (Zechariah 4:9-10)

Isaiah the Prophet declares this prophetic Word of The Lord in Is. 28:14-19 (16-17)NIV.

¹⁴ Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers
    who rule this people in Jerusalem.
¹⁵ You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,
    with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
    it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie our refuge
    and falsehood our hiding place.”

¹⁶ So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone,
    a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who relies on it
    will never be stricken with panic.
¹⁷ I will make justice the measuring line
    and righteousness the plumb line;
hail will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
    and water will overflow your hiding place.
¹⁸ Your covenant with death will be annulled;
    your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
    you will be beaten down by it.
¹⁹ As often as it comes it will carry you away;
    morning after morning, by day and by night,
    it will sweep through.”

The understanding of this message
    will bring sheer terror.

A tested and True cornerstone has been laid in Zion; Christ Jesus The Lord, and that those who Trust in Him will never be dismayed. Justice must be the measuring line with which we must administer to all, and Righteousness the Plumb line to which we are established and built upon. He promises to sweep away the “lie” and the darkness of “hidden secret” false doctrines. Attached to a Plumb line is a device called a bob, a plumb bob, this bob gives a pin point accuracy.

Jesus Christ is The Standard He is The “Kingdom Bob” and we that follow after Him must be held to and live in right alignment with the “Kingdom Standard“.

The NAME of The LORD is a Strong Tower, the Righteous run to it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10

Psalms 77:

Selah: A term used to invoke a deep reflection and to reconsider…

11,12

I Will REMEMBER the deeds of The Lord…I Will MEDITATE on ALL Your Mighty deeds.

v14,15

You are the God who performs miracles; you display Your power among the peoples. With Your Mighty Arm You Redeemed Your people…

Who is like You Oh LORD our God, for you and you alone have purchased men for you own glory. Mighty are your works and your NAME is worthy to be praised. It IS our strength and our SHEILD. Let us never lose sight of our Refuge.

A perspective on the 5th chapter of Micah whose name means:

Who is Like The LORD

“But you Bethlehem Ephrathah though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me One who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from old from Days of Eternity (ancient times). He will Stand and Shepherd His flock in the Strength of the LORD, in the Majesty of the NAME of The LORD His GOD and He will be their Peace” Mi.5:2,4,5. Wow isn’t that an Amazing prophetic Word, and this can only be speaking of the One and only Yeshua ha Mashiach ישוע המשיח! We know him as Jesus The Christ or Messiah which is to mean “Anointed One“.

Born in a manger in Bethlehem, Judea. We often imagine Jesus as this little baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, just as the lambs for temple sacrifice were. Many Christians around the world still identify Him as just that, a baby. The bible informs us that he grew in wisdom and stature with God and man Lk 2:52. He did not remain as a child. He went around the countryside of Galilee and Judea declaring The Kingdom of God and performing an abundance of miracles, so many that The Apostle John states that he did so many that all the books in all the world could not contain them. That IS ANointed! In Judaism, there was an established sacrificial system of worship, an atoning sacrifice of a Lamb without blemish, perfect in form without injury or defect. Bethlehem was the location of which these ceremonial lambs were birthed and protected until their time of offering, at one year of age, to ensure they were as “perfect” as could be for the “Passover” offering. Spring time occurrences (both birth and Passover) Such rich symbolism.

He was led like a Lamb to the cross were He was offered up as an atoning sacrifice for ALL humankind. He Always Was and Always Will Be “The Lamb slain from the foundations of the world” (Rev. 13:8 ) As followers of Christ “Christians” we must know how to be The Lamb. Anointed in Christ Jesus so that we too to as declared in Isaiah 61:1 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound and again in the NT Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To proclaim the Year of the LORD’s favor”. And to bear our cross!

Our journey does not stop there brothers and sisters, yet we must fully understand what it is and how to be a Lamb. For then Micah prophesies in verses (7,8,9,11,-14) a “Remnant” will arise( 7 Shepherds/even 8 leaders of men), this “remnant” will be like A Lion, like a young lion, “Your hand will be lifted up in Triumph over your enemies. and ALL your foes will be Destroyed”! It even gives us the name of the enemy and the strongholds to demolish. The Assyrian and Nimrod oh we should know our enemy dear Christian they have been around from the beginning. As The LION and as young lions, Christ Jesus The Lion and His church young lions, this “Remnant” shall “..tear down your strongholds, destroy your witchcraft and no longer cast spells, destroy your carved images and sacred stones, and uproot from among you your Asherah poles. After Jesus was baptized in the River Jordan by John it says He was led by The Spirit and after fasting forty days and forty nights, He was then “tempted” by the ENEMY, at one of these strongholds; and Jesus defeated him there. A place of (Moon worship a high place near Jericho). At another Stronghold Jesus asked His disciples “whom do You say I AM”? This was at the stronghold of Mt. Hermon, Pan’s cave. When Jesus was crucified, buried, and resurrected it says that He paraded around these defeated foes. We also like Our Lion Leader must triumph and roar in conquest over these enemies of man’s souls. So yes we fellow Christ followers must know how to be a lamb before we can be the lion. Yet in Truth we must know how to operate under the anointing and authority to be Both The Lion and The Lamb! .

Only when we fully understand who and what we are In Christ, can we function and operate in ALL that He has already provided. Go in Power Go in Peace Go in the Authority and Strength of The NAME of The LORD Our GOD!

Amen….

There is a man in the bible that is not well known. He is not the topic of many sermons nor is he a hero of the faith. Yet his actions were noticed by the one to whom it matters most, The Lord God himself. The first mention of this man it identifies him as an “official” in the royal palace. In ancient times those assigned duties in the Royal place were usually “eunuchs”. Now a eunuch is a particular sort of individual as noted by Jesus in Mathew 19:12 “For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others–and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

Being a eunuch in itself is not what makes this individual unique, but rather it is his actions and devotion ( for the sake of the kingdom) to trusting in The Lord, and also The Lords spokesman; Jeremiah the prophet. The account is as such that as Jeremiah “The Weeping” prophet spoke of judgement and devastation to Judah and Jerusalem, as well as the destruction of the temple, he was not liked by many “false prophets” and those in high position. Sounds much like today of those that only want to have their ears tickled, so he was placed deep in an old cistern (a well) in which the water was gone from and only deep mud remained that Jeremiah sunk into as he was lowered by rope into the mire. This is where our figure enters the story.

This man approaches King Zedekiah king of Judah and tells him that Jeremiah has been dealt with unjustly and will perish if left to remain the the cistern. So he is granted, rather commanded by the King to remove Jeremiah from the pit. He takes 30 men and goes to the cistern and in compassionate manner not only puts down the rope for Jeremiah but brings and provides padding so that the rope does not harm Jeremiah. The prophet is then brought to the courtyard of the palace guard to remain.

Here is The Word of The LORD to the eunuch: Jeremiah 39:15-18 NIV

¹⁵ While Jeremiah had been confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the Lord came to him: ¹⁶ “Go and tell Ebed-Melek the Cushite, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to fulfill my words against this city—words concerning disaster, not prosperity. At that time they will be fulfilled before your eyes. ¹⁷ But I will rescue you on that day, declares the Lord; you will not be given into the hands of those you fear. ¹⁸ I will save you; you will not fall by the sword but will escape with your life, because you trust in me, declares the Lord.’”

The name Ebed-Melek have you heard of him? Are you likened unto him? His name means “Servant of The KING” and he was devoted to and trusted in his King and His Kingdom. Not an earthly one , but an everlasting One. We too should be like the eunuch; consecrated for service in The King’s courts, fully trusting in Him. So that His promise would be ours to claim as well that He WILL Rescue us, He WILL Save us from the impending judgements.

Our King left His throne to set as an example of Servanthood, not servitude. I want to serve a King like that. I want to serve my King and to fully and wholly Trust in His Promises. To hear someday “well done good and faithful SERVANT”

“As it was in the days of Noah. So shall it be when The Son of Man returns”. (Mt. 24:37)

What was it like in the days of Noah? Let’s take a look also at the conditions during the time of Elijah and how we compare in our day.

Noah

Evil thoughts ALL the time, genetic manipulation, angelic (spiritual) unions with human kind. (Gen. 6:1 -5)

They also were just doing life as Jesus states eating and drinking and given in marriage, life as normal. Noah preached “Righteousness” (2Pet. 2:5) for 120 years while he built the ark, and The Lord rescued/delivered him from the judgement.

Elijah

Ahab & Jezebel ruled with evil intentions at every aspect of society. And imposed demonic worship in every quarter. Baalism/Asherah. (1Ki. 18)

Elijah opposed the prophets of Baal/Asherah; he declared a return to true devotion and worship through “Repentance” to return to The Lord God and “Righteousness” was manifested through his stance and opposition. God Almighty redeemed him with a chariot of fire into the heavens.

Behold I Shall send My Messenger before me to “prepare the WAY of the coming of The Lord“. (Is. 40:3/Mal. 3:1)

John the Baptist

John went about Judea preaching Righteousness and Repentance. (Mt.14:3-12/Lk. 3:1-8/Mk. 1:1-8) With a boldness and faith that ended up with him being beheaded by the hands of Herod & Herodias; his brothers wife. (Jezebel& Ahab)

Jesus indicated that John indeed was Elijah that had come before Him. Yet, as many prophetic declarations attest, this prophetic WORD will yet be fulfilled again to completion. (See Post “The TWO Faithful Witnesses”). John a proto-type of the New covenant believer sets the stage for “The Final Countdown“.

Ecclesia

The Church, The Bride of Messiah. In the power and spirit of Elijah! (Lk. 1:17&Mal. 4:5)

We see the fig tree mentioned in Mathew 24:32 that as the “…twigs get tender and its leaves come out…” Jesus indicates this right before His proclamation of as it was in Noah’s day. So we “see”; Israel (the fig tree); the prophetic symbol of “The End Times”, the spirits of Jezebel which is (Ishtar/Asherah/Semiramis “Babylon: Mother of Harlots”) & Baalism which is (Molech/Marduk/Nimrod “Post flood” 1 world ruler) rising in every fabric of societal living; genetic manipulation across plants and animals, spiritism; embodied spiritual unions with demonic forces are once again sweeping across planet earth.

It is at this time for this very hour. That as described by the prophet Joel “in the last days I will POUR OUT my Spirit….says THE LORD”!

The Church MUST and will even if it is a remnant of those that have confessed and professed their devotion to The Messiah: Jesus of Nazareth make a stand! And in BOLDNESS Stand Firm (Eph. 6) in His Mighty Power and declare the message of Noah, Elijah, and John the Baptist Righteousness & true Repentance. To “Prepare the Way” for the coming of The Lord. The clock IS ticking ever closer as we come to that divine moment…tic toc tic toc…

Shall we be delivered and redeemed from “The Judgement” as Noah and Elijah were, or shall we as John lose our heads for our FAITH? That just might depend on how we respond to HIS calling! We must in TRUTH be made ready.

Dearest friend, My sincere hope and desire is that you would know deep in your heart how much God loves you and that you would simply and truthfully accept the Free gift that He offers; Salvation through the atoning sacrificial Blood of His offering; His Son Jesus (Yeshua). Today is the Day of Salvation.

God Bless You and Keep You until the Day of His appearing.

We hear of identity crisis, identity politics, identity this and identity that. My question is to whom do we identify? Do we identify with ourselves, which at its core is a form narcissism and self glorification. Do we identify with a group, and to what platform does that group elevate and promote?

A Mirror is a place of reflecting an image or that which we desire or purpose to identify with.

As Christ followers, we are to be “lost or dead” hidden in him! Our Identity is to be IN HIM!

Gal. 3:
27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

1 Cor. 6:
19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

Col. 3:
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

Ro. 6:
6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—

So therefore, let us exalt HIM! May HE Alone be Honored, Glorified, and lifted up in all that we say and do. The image we Reflect or Mirror must be HIM.

May our Identity be a living testimony to HIM.

We look not unto the things of this world. (1Jn. 2:15-17)

We should not deposit within the confines of this place, this place we call home, our Hope. For those of us living in the United States we find it easy to put our hope and faith in the biblical and Godly foundations of this nation that have become institutions administered, manipulated, and corrupted by man. As followers of Christ and the God of The Bible we must first and foremost remember that –this place– as much as we may love it and all that it stands for (as we should) and the blessings it has provided for so many peoples across the globe, yes it IS worth fighting for and defending abroad and most importantly at home however – IS but our temporary home. Our sights must always be fixed and set upon our eternal home, The Kingdom of Heaven and its King.

I know of and hear many people saying, surely God will not let evil triumph in America. These same people seem to have ALL their hope in America, a political party, or even in an individual. Tossed about by every wind of news and misinformation. I am not being negative, nor am I a doubter of what The Lord is capable of doing. The WORD is The Plumb-line, it IS The Standard by which we must discern the time of our present situation and our guide. Unfortunately, yet many believers DO NOT understand that just as it appeared for a moment in time when Jesus died on the cross and was buried, that evil had won. We know how that turned out; He – Christ Jesus rose victoriously from the grave, defeating Satan, death, hell, and grave. So too it is written that in the “last days” that evil will once again “appear” to have won and implement its plan and usher in a global dominance of all its inhabitants. We know or should know how that story ends as well. It is written for us to know the end from the very beginning. Genesis to Revelations and ALL in between The LORD has been letting us know His plan as well as that of the adversary.

So not to be hopeless, or to sound like being a doubting Thomas. But Our Hope is not in this world or this government, or this nation, but In Christ alone! (PS. 62) For this reason we must understand the great mystery which is

Christ in YOU!

The Hope of Glory! (Col. 1:27)

So let us with a fulness of; Joy, Hope, Victory, and Confidence in Him. Set our eyes, our thoughts, our minds, and our purpose on our eternal home and ALL of its GLORY. Standing firm in Righteousness, having gird up our loins in Truth to oppose the evil and wickedness of our day. For America shall not and cannot recover if it will not Repent and turn away from its godless pursuits, and that which exalts itself above everything relating to the God of the bible. “A Great Awakening” does not necessarily imply that our nation will be delivered from the judgement of Almighty God or even alter the course of society and culture, it does however imply a Church revived and actively engaged in the winning or harvest of souls for His Kingdom at all cost in the face of persecution! A Prevailing Church is a Church that GROWS in the heat of BATTLE!

” I WILL Build MY CHURCH, and the Gates of Hell WILL Not Prevail against it”! (Mt. 16:18)

Come Lord Jesus!

This is our anthem and this must be our battle cry:

For Thine is The Kingdom, and The Power, and The Glory! Forever and ever! Hallelujah….Amen!!!
