We are truly living during a historical time! Things are happening that only God could orchestrate. There is much that the devil has a hand in, but I believe we will see a majority of that come to an end. Stop sulking and worrying, God is in control, and that’s an excellent place to be; in a world where God is in control! I can’t make this stuff up! I’m following along in my Bible, and during my daily reading, I can see the words stepping off the page and coming to life. 

For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 1 Corinthians 1:19-20

What we are witnessing in the news is so ridiculous that it cannot be real. What is going on? What you just read, that’s what’s going on! God is making a mockery of those who think they are wise, but he has given his children a glimpse into what he sees, which is foolishness, and showing us the steps he’s taking to remedy our situation. Take a deep breath, wash your face, and enjoy your weekend; things are turning for the better; just wait and see!

With the world in crisis, there is a constant murmur from the people over the governments' tyrannical lockdowns; people are crying out and fighting back in protest. The messages filtered by the various news outlets barely show the truth of what’s going on. I implore you to branch out and look for honest sources, so you are not blindsided by God’s plan that is unfolding before our eyes. If you don’t tune into alternative streams, you’re not going to know what hit you.

Imagine being in Egypt and living as a slave of Pharaoh, then God releases you from captivity, and you decide that you would instead go back to slavery rather than face your fear of the unknown. God has formulated a plan, and the pieces are falling into place, but what it may reveal could be devastating for those unaware. If you are reading this post on Facebook, you’re not getting the whole truth because of censorship. Branch out, step out of your comfort zone and open your eyes to what’s happening around the world. We are at the pinnacle of a Red Sea moment; don’t miss it because you lack information.

Will God use the week of Passover to set the captives free, even those who don’t know they are enslaved? Maybe; it begins at dark tomorrow. Sit back and watch, the LORD is fighting for all of us!

The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” The LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. Exodus 14:14-15

How can I get you to think beyond your current realm? Our time on this earth is temporary, meaning there is much more to life than what we see, and we WILL see it in one form or another. If you believe the Bible, then you know that there are beings not of this earth. For instance, the angels; are heavenly beings, and they manifest physically on occasion. The demons are just fallen angels, and they are here with us. Not only are there angels, but the Bible mentions others. Do you remember reading about the Nephilim? According to Moses, they were gigantic, and they procreated with earthly women to create the Anakim. The Anakim were the people that kept the Israelites from moving into the promised land for forty years because they were afraid of them. God told the Israelites to kill off everyone in the land, but they failed at that assignment and have paid the price ever since. So, does that mean the Anakim are still alive today? Your guess is as good as mine, but doesn’t that pique your curiosity? Don’t you think the God of all creation can create whatever type of celestial being he chooses to? Dig into this yourself; it’s pretty interesting.

Look up these words in your Bible: Anakim, Anakites, Anak, Nephilim

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. Genesis 6:4

And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.” Numbers 13:33

Do you ever have days where it seems nothing goes right? From daylight to dark, you have to dodge bullets, arrows, and boulders like you’ve been targeted, making you want to run and hide. May I suggest that you do precisely that? Run and hide in Jesus! 

There is a great need for us to set our thoughts on him throughout our day. It’s easy to get caught up in the rat-race, focusing only on our current situation, but I can tell you, my best days are the ones where I focus my attention on Jesus. I’ve noticed that when I reflect on him, he seems to put a force field of protection around me, and when challenges come, I’m able to process them more easily. Include him in your problems; he wants to help you; you only need to ask. Even if he doesn’t bring about a miracle, when you change your focus from your problems to Jesus, he gives you the confidence to get you through it.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. Romans 13:14

Has the shock of circumstances worn off of you? We have become desensitized by situations and no longer look upon the news in horror. There is a good reason; we’ve been lied to so much that we’ve become cynical and distrustful of the reporting agencies because we’ve seen that their motives aren’t pure. Remember seeing a weather reporter struggling to stand because of the wind, and in the background, you can see two people walking by effortlessly? It’s not a bad thing to be skeptical; I think we’ve reached a different level of intelligence when we can see through the lies and set our minds to seek the truth. We have to ask, “are they making up the news because there is nothing to report?” Is what we think we see the truth, or is it computer-generated or play-acting? 

There may be a deeper meaning to our words. For instance, why do we call the news “media,” and why is the box that sits in our living room called a “tell-a-vision?” If you look-up media in the search bar, once you get past today’s definition, you will find a story and a painting of a Greek goddess called Media or Medea. The picture depicts a woman killing her child. The television is projecting a vision, but not necessarily the truth. You can come to your own conclusion about those two words. Open your eyes and seek the wisdom of God.

For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. James 3:16-17

We each have our own set of circumstances that require us to call on God for his intervention. In addition to our personal problems, our country and other countries around the world need him to intervene because of the perceived takeover by a worldly organization set to take away the power of the people. If we don’t continue to seek God for his mercy daily, that powerful organization could take over, and our personal issues could become insurmountable and will pale in comparison to what they are now. 

I came across a significant verse that caught my attention in the book of Romans. Paul wrote the book of Romans; God sent him to minister to us, the gentiles. Here is what he tells us to do: 

and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.” And again it is said, “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.” Romans 15:9-10

Did you catch that? Glorify God for his mercy! Here’s what “glorify” means: From G1391; to render (or esteem) glorious (in a wide application): - (make) glorify (-ious), full of (have) glory, honour, magnify.

I know we do this on Sunday with our praise and worship time, but it needs to be done daily, at every opportunity we get. We MUST glorify, honor, and magnify him! Reach out to him so he will have mercy on us.

I feel concerned about those who chase after an abundance of possessions without first considering the wealth of their soul and the building-up of relationships through love, the things that money cannot buy. Yes, I know we have to work to sustain ourselves physically. Still, if we don’t balance our physical and spiritual lives carefully, we will end up with only possessions and people around us who have little care for us that are only there for what our money can do for them and not because we nurture their souls.

If you haven’t gotten to the point of enriching your spiritual wealth, may I suggest that you have a conversation with God and ask him to help you change your heart? Ask him to enable you to love people the way he does. Praying this one prayer can change your life and the lives of those around you. After all, loving God and loving people is the point of the scriptures. If you conquer these two things, you will have reached the pinnacle of your existence.

And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:37-39
