Trying to get control of everything collected by my father-in-law for his entire life, spread over multiple properties, has challenged us all, but what we’ve learned is invaluable. Spiritual growth is what I’ve noticed the most; the process could have taken us into the pit or skyrocketed us closer to God; thankfully, it was the latter. It would have been easy to get caught up in the massive amount of earthly possessions, but rather than relishing them, we’ve all become minimalists. It’s too much. It helps me understand why Jesus told us to store our treasures in Heaven; earthly possessions are nothing but a burden. 

We are probably coming close to the end of our way of life here on earth; the world is changing, and we are anticipating Jesus. However, while we wait, we must be careful not to get too caught up in the cares of this life so that his return catches us off guard. Find time to spend with God daily and collect spiritual blessings rather than earthly possessions. The only things we will be allowed to keep when we leave here are the treasures we’ve collected in Heaven.


“But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. Luke 21:34

I tried not to write about this today because I’m not too fond of controversy, and I don’t follow other scholars who seem to know more than I do on this subject, but no matter how I tried to get away from it, the Holy Spirit wouldn’t help me write about anything else. I will probably be cen___ed, and no one will see it anyway.

Israel has made it nearly impossible for anyone to live freely without receiving multiple doses of the v___ine. Now those v___ines may be causing a spike in all-cause deaths and other major health problems. Are we seeing the “abomination that causes desolation” spoken of by Jesus? Many people will disagree with me, but that’s okay. I’m putting this out there anyway to get everyone thinking. Is it possible that this is the destruction of Jerusalem that Jesus foretold? If we are in the seventieth week of Daniel, which worldwide events seem to be pointing to, I believe we will see Jesus very soon. I know what you’re thinking; no armies are surrounding Jerusalem; but who is the World Health Organization, and how many nations are involved with them? Could they and their backers be considered an army? Are we witnessing unconventional warfare? Whatever the case may be, we need to be ready. Repent; the Kingdom of Heaven is near!


“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near. Luke 21:20


“But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not to be (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Mark 13:14


“So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), Matthew 24:15

My yard is now full of fruit-bearing trees; however, I never thought of planting a fig tree. My only encounter with figs is the Fig Newton cookies; I loved those as a kid. I only thought about it because I've been going over Jesus's words about his second coming, and he mentions the fig tree. He tells us we will know his time is near just like when the tender shoots of the fig tree begin to come out, we know summer is near. I decided to look up how to grow figs on the internet; it doesn't seem that hard, but they are susceptible to nematodes. I was at Tractor Supply yesterday, and guess what they had? Fig trees! And they had fruit on them too! Look, why am I now thinking about growing them? I believe the Holy Spirit is making a point, so I write about it as a reminder that we are in the throws of summer and are already beginning to see the fruit of Jesus's approaching return. The thought is exhilarating. I feel thankful and honored that he chose me to live during this time. It may not be an easy time to live in, but we will experience one of the most incredible events in the earth's history. 

Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Luke  21:28-31

There is a man whom I have prayed for years to see a change in his life. When he was younger, the Holy Spirit impressed upon me that he would be a man of God. The devil also knew his potential to bring others to salvation and began sifting him like wheat. He has been in and out of jail, hooked on drugs, and facing a lot of time in prison. He is in jail now and has begun calling regularly. His demeanor has changed, and he is seeking the Lord like never before. He is very well-liked, and others are drawn to him. With his testimony, his potential to lead many to salvation in Jesus is unrivaled. So you can see why the devil has tried him. For the first time in his life, he knows that jail is the best place for him to be. 


I don’t ask for prayer very often, but in this case, I would like to invite you to add him to your prayer list if you don’t mind. He needs strength to accomplish what God has called him to, and it would do my heart good to know others are also praying for him. His name is Richard. Thank you so much.


Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. James 5:16

What are you doing to prepare for Jesus’s return? Remember when the wise men looked for signs in the stars of his birth? They knew something extraordinary had happened. There are signs in the heavens now, stars creating a picture that shows his return is near. However, we are too ignorant to follow the signs in the heavens as they did in the old days. The enemy has tainted us by making us think it’s wrong to observe the constellations. Reading your horoscope is sinful, but looking to the stars for the sign of the Son of Man is not. If I understood it more, I would explain it; I’m only here to encourage everyone to prepare. Prepare your heart with worship and prayer in case he collects his children early. If we are to endure a portion, we must prepare for tribulations like food shortages, electrical outages, and communication disruptions. We can already see these things happening worldwide, but we are spoiled here in the United States, so we need to toughen up and prepare ourselves for possible famine and other disruptions. Remember when Jesus warned us of these things, he was speaking to his disciples, not unbelievers. God is a loving Father and plans good things for his children. Do not be alarmed or fearful; we have nothing to fear because he loves us. How blessed are we that he chose us for such a time as this?

Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. Matthew 24:42

Is there something significant about Queen Elizabeth's reign ending after 70 years and Charles becoming king? I looked up the name Charles, and it means "free-man." Is this a coincidence? No! Nothing is a coincidence; God carefully plans everything. Will the world be set free now that the queen is dead? Will we soon see the ushering in of the One True King, Jesus? 

I don't believe every video I watch, but sometimes they make you think. Yesterday I watched a timeline presentation of the Berisheet prophecy, showing that tribulation should begin in 2023. It was pretty alarming. If that doesn't cause you to think, I don't know what will! Would you change what you were doing if you believed this prophecy to be true? We had better get our priorities straight! Worship God like never before! Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near! No harm is done if it doesn't happen, but with the world being in its condition, it doesn't seem so far-fetched. We need to stay ready at all times.  


“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Matthew 24:29-30

We will continue to grieve this day and mourn the loss of souls until the last person dies who lived during the time of the tragic event of September 11, 2001. Many interesting events happened that day that confounds the mind. The jet fuel burned so hot that it melted steel and rocks and collapsed two enormous buildings and collapsed one building that it didn’t even touch. The Pentagon was hit, and it seemed the airplane disintegrated on impact. Early photographs show that it barely left an opening wider than 14 to 16 feet but collapsed a few minutes later. The terrorist that did this perpetrated an evil that will confound thinkers for an eternity. Their brilliance is incomprehensible. Even though we can’t make sense of the details, this attack momentarily brought everyone together in a revival we have never seen. We may never know the entire truth about this day in history while we are on this side of the soil, but God will see that any who had a part in this evil will receive the justice they deserve. God bless the USA.


For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality. Colossians 3:25
