When I see someone I have poured my heart into walking in the ministry God has given them, I am overjoyed! Everyone does not have the same mission; God has appointed each of us a portion of a specific ability to do what he calls us to do. Some jobs are more challenging and require a stouter heart that is also compassionate. You will know that it’s part of God’s design when you see the steps you’ve taken, the jobs you’ve had, and the life you’ve lived coming into play for that particular mission. First, he sees, then he trains, refines, and tests; when you’re ready, he puts you in a position where you know that you know you are the one he has chosen for the tasks. It’s especially evident when you finish one, and he gives you another, even before the other is complete. Though it may be daunting, it is more fulfilling than anything else you’ve ever done. 

Moses finally got the Tabernacle set up, and the Israelites made their first sacrifices, which took twelve straight days. In the end, Moses went into the Holy of Holies, and God spoke to him, which must have been a great feeling. So much work had been put into it, and to hear God speak must have made him joyful. Was it easy to do what Moses did? No. Don’t expect God’s mission for you to be easy, but it will be worth every heartache you experience preparing for it. God is so good and loves us, and he knows that doing his mission will bring us the most happiness. Don’t worry if you don’t know your task; when you’re ready, he will show you.  


And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him. Numbers 7:89

After resting a day after the surgery on my gums, I decided to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. I have a problem sitting still, and my turnip greens are getting big and need to be thinned. Rather than pulling them up and throwing them away, I transplanted them into another bed where I had planted head lettuce that didn’t come up. Before I finished planting all of them, they had begun to wilt. I hope they’ve perked up this morning. 

When we take a full-grown human out of the world and transplant them into the kingdom of Jesus, they will undergo a refining process. Some break under the pressure and wilt. That’s why it’s essential that someone come along beside them to encourage and disciple them, water, and care for them until they are strong enough to stand on their own. 


God gives each of us a ministry, and you will know when he calls you up for service and when it’s your time to work. It’s not always easy but fulfilling, and you will never regret serving the Lord. 


Remember this: because of our faith in Jesus, we are the children of Israel! We are grafted in and adopted into the family. We are the children of the dispersion.


And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Numbers 22:23-27

In the Old Testament days, if a woman was accused of adultery by her husband, he could take her before a priest and have her drink bitter water to prove her guilt or innocence. If she confessed, she would only face divorce and her dowry taken away. However, if she didn’t confess, was guilty, and drank the bitter water, which included dirt from the tabernacle floor, her belly would swell, and her thighs rot. That’s a terrible way to die! If she were innocent, she would prosper by conceiving. There was no power in that water; it was just dirty water. The power came from God, who knows if we are guilty or innocent whether we confess or not. Though we don’t have to go before a priest, God will show his power; it may take some time when others have wronged us, but eventually, he will bring justice. When someone has done others wrong, and we pray for God’s mercy, to see God bring justice lets you know how good and loving He is. They may not swell up and rot, but seeing them paying the price for their crimes is often better. 

On a similar but different note, Our country is in a world of hurt right now, and we are victims of government criminals. They have committed adultery with satan. Wait for it; God will make them drink the bitter water, and we will watch them rot before our eyes.


And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. Numbers 5:27

It’s not often that I get such a late start, but I had bone graft surgery on my gum for a dental implant, and I woke up dizzy this morning. I’m finally starting to feel better, but not quite 100%. I felt too sick to read, so I used the Bible app to read the next chapter of scripture in my study. We are fortunate to live in this day and age where technology has become an excellent assistant in studying God’s Word. There is no excuse for not reading or listening to your Bible. Find time every day to delve into scripture. It’s a fantastic gift to those of us who love the Lord.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 1 Timothy 3:16-17

I’m guilty of not maintaining my Tabernacle as I should. I try to eat properly, but sometimes, I fail and consume more sugar than I should. Interestingly, the food brought into the Tabernacle to sacrifice was mostly meat, with only a small portion being bread. I included this information because the Tabernacle can be compared to our bodies, which now carry the Holy Spirit of God. The tent had a structure with poles and staves acting as bones and curtains like our skin and flesh. There were interior coverings for the elements of service made of animal skins and fabrics hiding the most inward parts like our tendons and ligaments covering our bones. When God lifted his cloud and camp was moved, care was taken to pack the tent and elements of service systematically. Only the high priest could see and touch the things in the Holy of Holies. 

The ages of men from the tribe of Levi enlisted to take down and set up the Tabernacle were between 30 and 50. They were young, but not too young; they had to be at an age where they were still fit to carry a heavy load but not stupid enough to look at it or touch something they shouldn’t; they would die on the spot if they did. They had to fear God enough but were still willing to serve him. If God was particular about who could see and touch the most holy things of the Tabernacle, how do you think he feels about the innermost dwelling of his Holy Spirit in you? An intruder had better watch out! God has a particular affinity for the dwelling of his Holy Spirit, and he wants it maintained in perfect condition, and anyone who seeks to harm it had better watch out!


And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation. Numbers 4:15

Our cameras catch more wildlife footage than they help stop intruders from entering our property. I love seeing the different animals that lurk in the night. I guess the hunting gene was passed on, except I would rather not be in the same vicinity as the little creepers, but I enjoy watching them from my cozy couch. Early this morning, the cameras caught a coyote and a possum. The possum in this morning’s video helped me identify the waddling animal with no tail that I had seen before and couldn’t decide what it was; now I know. Though I know they can’t do anything, the cameras give us early warning of possible intruders. They act as the first barrier of protection in defending our home sanctuary. 

When God gave Moses the plan for the encampment, his plans placed the Levites as the first barrier surrounding the Tabernacle, and Aaron and his sons were positioned on the east side, directly in front of the door. Any intruder, which included anyone who wasn’t a Levite, would be killed. That gives you a clue to how serious God was about protecting his dwelling and keeping it holy. What does that tell you about the temple that dwells within us? Do you actually have the Holy Spirit if you allow anything satanic to come into your life? Anything unholy should be killed before entry. Consider your participation in satanic festivities; if this is your favorite time of year because of Halloween, you need to ask God if he approves. If you are not convicted, seek Jesus before it’s too late. 


But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. Numbers 3:38

Did you know that God has a plan for your life? Following his promptings by listening to the Holy Spirit, you will find it quite detailed and specific. You probably won’t know the truth until it falls into place. It reminds me of the adage, “Hindsight is 20-20”. I’ve started reading Numbers, and, oh my goodness, there were a lot of Israelites! God gave Moses specifics on where they were to set up their tents, and he kept their families in mind and placed them in groups together. Isn’t it interesting that God considers our family dynamics when putting together his plan for us? The most important part of that plan is where he placed the Tabernacle, right in the middle of the camp. How comforting must it have been to have the temple of God right in the heart of the community? The church used to be the center of everything, and it’s a shame that we’ve gotten away from living that way. However, we are very mobile with our vehicles and can easily travel to the church of our choice and interact with the children that God wants us to be in communion with. If you haven’t made church a part of your life, are you living in God’s plan? The answer is no. We are a social people, and we are expected to share our lives with other Christ-followers. Find a Bible-believing church and go!

Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place by their standards. Numbers 2:17

The current event unfolding before our eyes makes my point of being prepared for living without power and water supplies. Imagine being in an area where the governments have control of those things, and they cut off the supply. Gather what you can and make room; add to it as you buy your weekly groceries. Eat the older things first. Get a few extra bottles of propane and a grill so you have a source to cook on. Remember, the food in your refrigerator and freezer will eventually go bad without electricity; eat that first. Consider what you require for comfort and ensure you are well-supplied. You may also want to arm yourself. It’s not about people being at war with one another; it’s about power-hungry officials forming against the people and their armies blindly following their command. If nothing happens, you have supplies for the future, but if it does, you will be comfortable. Hopefully, it doesn’t come to this, but we all need to be ready if it does. Rather than worry, prepare. Yes, God knows you need food and provisions, but will they miraculously appear, or will he prompt you by the Holy Spirit to gather those things beforehand? You decide. Don’t expect manna from heaven. 

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

Jesus closed the door on the law of Moses and set us free from the obligation to keep it. 

These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai. Leviticus 27:34


Though going through Leviticus seemed daunting, I am grateful to have studied it because it opened my eyes to how truly blessed we are to have Jesus. He has made it easier to worship God and redeemed the tasks associated with keeping the law. 


For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Romans 10:4


God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24


We are not under the heavy yoke of the law and are set free in our worship. Even though we are not burdened under the law to honor God by our sacrifices, we must do our part by loving Him and loving others. The law and the prophets are summed up by loving God and loving people. If you get these two things right, you will have covered the law and pleased God by your actions. Worship Him in spirit and truth.


Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:37-40

My kids never know what to get me for my birthday because I don’t need anything; I’m very well provided for. Plus, I would prefer they keep their money. However, they always get me something, so I may as well tell them what I want. I love gardening, and fruit trees are my favorites, so I sent them pictures of a few unusual trees and where they could find them. Today, I’m tasked with finding a good place to plant them where they can grow and thrive. One thing I didn’t know about fruit trees is that according to what God told Israel when they plant trees in the promised land, they shouldn’t eat the fruit until the fifth year. The tree should be established and healthy first. I have trees with fruit that I should have picked off to give the tree a chance to grow. The fruit belongs to the Lord in the fourth year, and then you can eat it in the fifth year! It seems like a long time; however, being a priest of the Lord, sanctified by Jesus, I think we can eat it in the fourth year! You live, and you learn. 

And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of. Leviticus 19:23


A promise comes with obedience and a curse for disobedience. Because of Jesus, we are under the promise of the New Covenant; our crops should meet one another, from the growing of grain to the production of fruit. It seems we should always have fresh food on our table. Thank goodness! I love to eat!


your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. Leviticus 26:5

My cabinets are becoming less and less of store-bought food and more home canned goods. Some of the food I grew myself, but others were purchased at the market, including meats. One of the great things about putting away food is that I know the ingredients, and I only use products that are safe for our consumption. Another thing is that it makes a quick meal; everything is already cooked, so you heat and eat. I like that part the most. If the world goes wild (it’s precarious right now) and the power grid goes down, most of our food is in the cabinets, and we won’t go hungry while we wait on a garden harvest. 

The Bible talks about Israel letting their land rest during the seventh year. That meant they had to store plenty of food to get them through that year. It took planning and careful calculation to make sure they had enough on hand to cover that year. I don’t know how they did it, but I guess they dried the grain and the fruits then carefully stored them, keeping the moisture out. If you feel compelled by the Holy Spirit, begin planning for your future if things fall apart. You can see from the news how quickly life changed for many people. I feel that it’s essential for all of us to prepare for an urgent situation. Listen to what God tells you, and get ready if he leads you in that direction.


And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store. Leviticus 25:22

Cursing God’s name was such a severe offense that even in today’s writings, the Jewish people are careful not to use it in vain and write it like this: G-d. If a person took the Lord’s name in vain, the witnesses would place their hands on that person’s head, and then the congregation would stone him to death! Today, we use God’s name carelessly, and it rolls off our tongue as if it is no big deal. We’ve never seen anyone stoned or taken part in a stoning to see what happens to a person who doesn’t choose their words carefully and in consideration of the deity of God. If we had seen or participated in such a brutal death, our language skills would have improved drastically and quickly! The truth is that we should love the Lord our God with all our hearts, so the last thing we would do is blaspheme his precious name. It was such a heinous crime that they couldn’t lay that sin on an animal; they had to bear it themselves. Once we have the Holy Spirit, can we be forgiven of that sin, or must we take the consequences ourselves? If you have a bad habit of using God’s name as a curse word, you need to stop. At some point, you may cross the line into dangerous territory.

Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. Leviticus 24:14-15

New Testament scripture is making more sense. In the Old Testament, if you were not a part of the priest's family or a Levite, you were not allowed to eat the sacrificial offerings. If you did, on purpose, you took on the iniquity of that offering. However, if the priest bought you with his own money, you became his and considered a part of his household. At that point, if you ate the sacrifice you were sanctified. If you weren't bought by him or weren't a member of his family, the burden of that sin sacrifice was now laid upon you!

Jesus is our Priest. He bought us, and we are now a part of his household. Because of the price He paid for us, we are allowed to eat of the sacrificial offerings. He said his body was the bread. If an unbeliever partakes of Christ's body, just as we have but have not committed to him, it appears they will be overtaken by a heavy burden of the sin we've committed and been forgiven of. It makes so much sense why a warning comes with taking communion. However, because Jesus bought us, we are free to eat. It is unbelievers who should be warned, not us! I have never been so scared for someone who has taken communion without being saved. It's like they are now the sacrifice. Fear not for yourself; fear for those outside of Christ who didn't heed the warning.


But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat. Leviticus 22:11


And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD; Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them. Leviticus 22:15-16


And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. Matthew 26:26


For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:20

I had a girl's day with my daughter, sister-in-law, and niece yesterday. It was fun to peruse a vintage market to prepare for the holidays. After that, we went to the farmer's market to get squash since I can't keep my plants alive long enough to produce an abundance. That wasn't all; I canned some pineapple from the market last night, and two jars didn't seal. It was very disappointing because they are not shelf stable if they don't seal. There may have been a blemish on the jar or lid that I overlooked. In any case, those two jars would not serve us well to keep in the cupboard, so we will eat them immediately. 

According to the Law of Moses, anyone with a blemish or a disability was excluded from serving as a priest. It seems very harsh because God is the one who created us, and some are disabled from birth. However, God is pure and holy, so anyone coming near him must be perfect. I'm unsure how he found anyone to serve him back in that day because we are all imperfect. This portion of scripture in Leviticus reminds us of how unworthy we are without Jesus. Hidden within Jesus, we can approach the throne of God and serve him without fear. We are shelf-stable and unblemished, like my pineapple jars that sealed properly. 


No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. Leviticus 21:21


For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:15-16

The issue of children disappearing and never being seen again has become common, especially for children coming across the border without a parent. Only God knows what has happened to them. Our government may close its eyes and allow the perpetrators to go unpunished, but God won't. His word is clear that those who sacrifice children for ungodly pleasures or Molech/Baal should be dealt with by the severe punishment of death. If the people don't handle the situation, or they protect them, God himself will kill them! He doesn't mince words here. 

And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not: Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people. Leviticus 20:4-5


Unnatural sexual sin is not okay. No matter how much you dismiss or accept it as normal, God doesn't. Like any other sin, it can be forgiven because of God's grace. When Jesus heals us from our ungodliness, he tells us to go and sin no more. Is there propitiation for your sin if you keep doing it? Does the Old Testament punishment come into play at that point? I don't know, but I wouldn't want to test God on this issue. But then again, anyone who would try God by continuing their sin should be concerned about their salvation. It all goes back to setting ourselves apart for God's purpose and being holy because He is holy. Sinful behavior separates us from God and puts us against Him. That's a dangerous place to be, especially being the Old Testament punishment for sexual sin is death. 


And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from otherpeople, that ye should be mine. Leviticus 20:26

Once Moses had taught Aaron and his sons the expectation of God upon their lives and their duties to him, he had to teach the rest of the congregation of Israel what God expected of them. Yes, he had given them the Ten Commandments, but Moses realized that the law must be repeated to concrete them in their minds; this is something you will find throughout scripture; if you read it straight through, you will notice that he restates himself often and gives us many chances to firm up his precepts in our minds. However, the most essential part of what they learned, and we need to take it seriously, is how to reverence God and love him more than anything. Because he is holy, as his children, we represent him, so he expects us to be holy. We must show the world that although we live in it, we are separated from it because Jesus has parted us out as holy. Our lives should reflect him to encourage others to join God’s kingdom. And, as often as you can, share your testimony so others know how good God is and how wonderful our Savior is for drawing us out of the filthy world and setting us apart as a holy people. 

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:15-16


Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy. Leviticus 19:2

Unbelief will be an atrocity when that unbeliever takes their last breath, especially when they see the truth about who God is and realize there is no turning back and no longer any redemption like they had while they still lived. The most horrifying things seen on earth are no comparison to what an unbeliever will face in hell, and yet, while living, they continue in their despicable ways because they don’t believe God is the only god. And here, we in the United States, a country founded on the principles of Christianity, allowing those who proclaim the falsehood that any couple-match is acceptable love to overtake and sully our land with their abomination. Though that is not the only abomination in the eyes of God, it says a lot about who we have become in the short 200-plus years as a nation. Our only hope at this point is an intervention of God himself. We’ve gone too far down the path of destruction. The Church has been complacent in not calling out and stopping the continuation of such sin; how will God deal with us? 

The Matthew Henry Commentary says this: “Lay the ear of faith to the gates of the bottomless pit, and hear the doleful shrieks and outcries of damned sinners, whom earth has spued out and hell has swallowed, that find themselves undone, for ever undone, by sin; and tremble lest this be your portion at last. God's threatenings and judgments should frighten us from sin.”


There is a list of sexual abominations in Leviticus 18, and some are repeated in the New Testament, which shows that even though we are under the new covenant, these things are still abominable to God. 


Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Leviticus 18:22


Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

We don’t realize how important some things are to God—for instance, blood, which is the life of any creature, according to scripture. The Israelites are fresh out of Egypt in Leviticus 17 and had picked up some bad habits of worshipping creatures rather than God, so he had to manage them by requiring that they only sacrifice animals, sheep, goats, and ox, at the door of the tabernacle. It was a big deal to kill an animal; it was against the law to treat it as if it weren’t important. After killing something, if you didn’t follow the procedure for cleansing, you would be cut off from your people, which means you die. While in Egypt, they probably followed what the Egyptians did, set up alters anywhere, and worshipped “devils,” which in the Strongs translates to “he goats.” It makes sense why Baphomet looks like a goat and children are sacrificed to him, even today. No matter how you explain it, there is only one God; anything or anyone else worshipped is the devil. God had to clarify that only he is to be worshipped, and blood is essential. The only reason we have eternal life is because Jesus poured out his blood for us on the cross; he covers our sins. Only His blood and sacrifice can give us eternal life. God’s requirement for the Israelites was a shadow of what we have in Jesus. He fulfilled that portion of the law, and no other sacrifice is required. 

And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations. Leviticus 17:7

I’m not going to lie; I wanted to skip Leviticus 15 because I thought it was gross and that no good could come from it, but I was wrong. During a church service, the pastor mentioned the woman with the issue of blood, which brought to my attention the New Testament comparison, which makes covering Leviticus 15 much more effortless. I’m always floored when the Holy Spirit throws the truth in my face. Now you can understand why I shied away from commenting on it, especially since it mentions issues with men and women! 

In biblical times, if a man or woman had trouble with bodily fluids, they were considered unclean; everything they touched, slept on, or sat on was considered unclean and must stay outside camp. Once healed, they must make an offering to cover their sin. It was quite a ritual of washing their body, clothing, and anything else their body touched. Understanding this law clarifies the story of the woman who had fought for twelve years to become healed of her bleeding. I bet she was tired of not being accepted in society and living outside the city. She shouldn’t have been near Jesus that day or around the other people. With all the crowd surrounding Jesus, imagine how many people touched her and are now considered unclean. She was desperate and knew her only chance to become healed was to touch Jesus’s garment, not making him unclean, but only the tiny part of his hem. Thank goodness for a loving Savior; he called her out, but only to show the crowd how strong her faith was. 


We are so fortunate that we do not have to follow the law of Moses with all the ritual cleansing and sacrifices and that we are part of the new covenant that only requires that we have faith and trust in Jesus. Not only that, but I’m grateful for how loving Jesus treats us, especially when we take advantage of him by sullying his garments every time we sin. Every word I read in Leviticus makes me more grateful for our Savior. 


Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them. Leviticus 15:31


And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. Luke 8:48

Over the last month, I’ve spent some time preparing the ground and planting seeds in the garden. I expect to harvest some vegetables by December, but others, like lettuce and greens, will be ready in a few weeks because you only harvest the outer leaves. Here in Florida, we are fortunate to harvest fresh produce year-round.

I’m not sure what tomorrow will bring; none of us do, but worldly events are escalating to the point where I need to prepare for the collapse of the supply chain and learn to provide food and medication in case of a disaster. I’ve begun canning food so it’s shelf stable in case the electrical grid is destroyed. This probably seems crazy to some, but if nothing happens, I have quick and easy heat and eat food for our meals. Jesus warned us of the impending dangers. 


The enemy has placed his people in high office, and they are currently running our country and other countries into the ground and creating chaos around the world. Get your head out of the sand and start praying and preparing. What is more crucial is that your family and friends know Jesus. Warn them, but remember that it’s up to them; loving Jesus is personal and cannot be forced. 


What’s happening now is biblical!


And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. Matthew 24:7-10
