Aloha Saints, Family & Friends,  beloved of Jesus and me,   John 3:16

ARMAGEDDON & The KINGDOM #6. in series.   “WORTH CONSIDERING”   7/2/21

An overview 6 of 7 of “The Revelation” of Jesus Christ as written by Apostle John.   by Ken Smith<><

In the past 5 studies we have covered    1.)Signs,   2.) Rapture,   3.) 7 yrs. ECSTASY,   4.)144,000,  5.) 7 yrs. WRATH,    6.)  Armageddon & Kingdom,   7.)  New Heaven & Earth

Today, and every day we are seeing the movement of the atheistic Socialistic Kingdom, The New Word Order seeking to plant the seeds of destruction in our United States.  Soros has spent billions of his own money towards the vision of a one world concept.    Pretty much the rest of the world has either been subjugated or does not care.   So,  as goes the U.S.,  so goes the world..  Most of the lies of the false peace are now found everywhere and the real truth has been locked up now as most of the sources of objective news in the U.S.  Have been closed down.   And our educational system is now overrun with those who find the lies of Socialism rational.  Over 30 million so called Evangelicals did not even vote in the last presidential election.  And many voted for Socialism as they believed the lies.

So now our general population is teetering on the edge of going for the lies of socialism to try to find security.    Just one more senator on the Socialist side of the balance and it is pretty much a done deal and over the dam we go.    The Nordic Countries tried out Socialism a couple of decades ago and have been working hard ever since to leave it behind due to the destruction that it caused in their economies.  The Bible teaches that if a man will not work, don’t feed him.  In Socialism the promise is that everyone has the right to eat,  regardless.  The Nordic countries went broke trying to make Socialism work.  But many today have not heard of the other side of that story and still hold up the Nordic countries as an example of how good socialism is.  China is rather pragmatic.   The heart beat has been changed back to Capitalism but the brains of Socialism are still in control of the CCP .  And now the CCP is GOD for the common man and the system is really NWO.  In the 7 years of the Great Tribulation the NWO takes total control of the world by the middle of the Great Tribulation and the world will find itself in total electronic economic slavery.   All transactions must go through the N.W.O. Computer.   And any excess energy will all go into making the war equipment to bring the whole world into submission to the N.W.O..  Seems like little Israel may be the last country on the block to try to bring into submission.   But they have vowed together to never experience again what happened to them in WW II  And as the N.W.O. army goes into the Middle East for this final and ultimate control, this is when Jesus returns.  

So the light is getting brighter as the darkness is getting darker.  And the Middle East with it’s mineral wealth is the focus for the N.W.O.  to have access to.  The far east has massive plans and is building the old silk road to connect to the wealth of the world to China.  This same road will be used in seeking to ultimately destroy Israel once again as in 70 AD with Titus.  Christ Jesus will return at that time in His second advent.   In the first advent Jesus came as the suffering Savior, Isa. 52, Psalms 22.   In HIS 2nd Advent HE returns as the King of Kings and at Armageddon totally destroys the armies gathered there to destroy Israel .  The world persecution of the Jews is going to become horrendous during those last 7 years of the Great Tribulation.
But this will not be like the gunfight at the OK Corral.  It will not even be a battle.  It will be a slam dunk victory with only the words out of the mouth of King Jesus.  It will be like every computer chip in all of the gadgets of the worlds armies is fried and nothing works, all at the same time.  And all of the men in the equipment are killed in the field and then in prophesy, feed the vultures.

After 6,000 years of watching us dissect and destroy HIS beautiful creation, our Creator GOD is very upset !!!!!!  But HE has waited patiently for the manifested creation (Rom.8:19) of HIS eternal family through the Blood Of The Lamb.   After Armageddon the Kingdom of Christ Jesus is set up on Mount Zion in Jerusalem for the PEACE that will be on the earth for 1,000 years.   Psalm 133:3,   Isa.2:3,  Joel 2:1,  Micah 4:2,  Zach. 8:3.   Jesus returns to destroy the armies of the world in Israel with the word of HIS mouth.   Then Adam’s curse will also be lifted and it will be like living again in Eden.  At the end of the 1,000 years our Creator God allows those souls  to also be tested.    lucifer will again be released and he goes forth and gathers another army out of the folks in the Kingdom. Rev. 20:7-10.  

After this final testing of the souls from the Kingdom,   then comes the 2nd Resurrection, Rev.20:11 and anyone whose name was not written in the “Book of Life” was removed in fiery pain into the midst or outer darkness as a living soul without a body for Eternity.   Think of what it would be like to not have your body?  There is nothing in Holy Scripture concerning God creating a new body for the souls who opt out of HIS salvation. And the body you now have,  has a built in delete button,  Gen.6:3.   This is what is says, unvarnished, you want to try to change it, it is up to you, you have a free will to do as you wish.  But the Bible contains the Holy Word of God, like it or not.

Please read Revelation,  Chapters 21 & 22,  you really don’t want to miss being there.  At the end of the 7,000 years our Creator reconstitutes our solar system atoms into HIS comfort zone as a new creation and not one trace of lucifer’s evil will ever be found again.  Then the former things will have passed away including time.  And GOD’S original vision and purpose will be realized as man will then be in GOD’S own image and likeness as a Holy obedient righteous soul but still having a free will.  But also totally loyal and completely sealed into Christ Jesus as the WORD OF GOD,  KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS to the Glory of the Father. The Kingdom of God will be filled with the Love, Humility, Obedience and Righteousness of God.

The Revelation of Christ Jesus was written with the simple words of that time and many of the words that we use today did not even exist.  There was very little mechanical nothing electronic and very little medical so we need to read The Revelation through the eyes of a person of the 1st Century and the Holy Spirit help us make the adjustments to our time.

 Jeremiah 17:9-10   “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.”

GREAT TRIBULATION

Aloha Saints, Family and Friends,  beloved of Jesus and me,   John 3:16

GREAT TRIBULATION, “WRATH”   “Worth Considering” 7/1/21     from Ken<><     

At this time we are coming into the birth pains for the birth or final gathering of the souls of the Church of Christ Jesus as LORD.   Persecution is coming, the NWO, a great revival, a false peace, the Rapture when totally unexpected and then the WRATH of GOD falls due to the pride and rebellion on earth and because of those in sin who have rejection of HIS salvation.  

The last lesson #4,  was the 7 years in heaven, and this is #5,  the 7 same years but on earth.

The seven seals (Revelation 6:1–17; 8:1–5)
    Time line, overview of the whole 7 years of God’s WRATH.

1.)  Seven trumpets (Revelation 8:6–9:21; 11:15–19)
      1/3 of earth burned up, 1/3 of sea becomes blood, 1/3 water poisoned, sky darkened by 1/3, demons           released, painful sting, 5 months.  200 million army from the East.   1/3 of humanity is killed.

2.)  Seven thunders (Revelation 10:3-4)   Sealed (unknown)

    Chapter 12 is also a very Important Time Line Chapter as is Chapter 6.

3.)  Seven bowls/vials (Revelation 16:1–21)
    Pandemic plagues, poisoned waters, Heat of sun increased scorching humanity, then darkness                            (volcanic  action?) and boils with great pain, Euphrates dries up. Gathering of the armies of the world to         Israel, massive earthquake,  hailstones

Judgment of world’s false religious system (Revelation 17 & 18) during this time.

These three  end-times judgments from God are due to what was done to Jesus and the rejection of God’s offered redemption and yet none repented.  Personally I tend to see these 3 judgments as all taking place at the same time from different perspectives, but this is my point of reference.  Also some feel the Church of Jesus will still be on earth for part or all of this, I strongly disagree.  This is the WRATH of GOD due to unrepentant, Those in the TRUE Church have already repented and Jesus is already LORD.   God’s just wrath was taken by Jesus for HIS Church, Isa.53,  John 3:16, Rom.10:9-14.  1 Cor. 13.

The seven seals include the appearance of the Antichrist (Revelation 6:1–2), great warfare (Revelation 6:3–4), famine (Revelation 6:5–6), plague (Revelation 6:7–8), the martyrdom of believers in Christ (Revelation 6:9–11), a devastating earthquake causing terrible devastation, and astronomical upheaval (Revelation 6:12–14). Those who survive the six seals are right to cry out, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” (Revelation 6:16–17).   (Covers the whole 7 years.)

The trumpets include hail and fire that destroy much of the plant life in the world (Revelation 8:7), the death of much of the world’s aquatic life (Revelation 8:8–9; 8:10–11), the darkening of the sun and moon (Revelation 8:12), a plague of “demonic locusts” that torture the unsaved (Revelation 9:1–11), and the march of a demonic army that kills a third of humanity (Revelation 9:12–21).

The seventh trumpet calls forth seven angels who carry the seven bowls of God’s wrath (Revelation 11:15–19; 15:1–8). The bowl judgments include painful sores afflicting humanity (Revelation 16:2), the death of every living thing in the sea (Revelation 16:3), the turning of rivers to blood (Revelation 16:4–7), an intensifying of the sun’s heat (Revelation 16:8–9), great darkness and an intensification of the sores from the first bowl (Revelation 16:10–11), the advance of the Antichrist’s armies at Armageddon (Revelation 16:12–14), and a devastating earthquake followed by giant hailstones (Revelation 16:15–21).

Together, the seals, trumpets, thunders and bowls of the end times comprise “the great day of  [God’s ] wrath” (Revelation 6:17) and serve to judge the Antichrist’s kingdom of wickedness. Revelation 16:5–7 declares of God, “You are just in these judgments, you who are and who were, the Holy One, because you have so judged; for they have shed the blood of your saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve. . . . Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgments.”

At the end of the 7 years of GOD’S WRATH the armies of the world are poised to destroy Israel once again as in 70 AD with Titus.   But this time Jesus returns and destroys the armies of the world at Armageddon and sets up HIS 1,000 yr.  earthly kingdom of righteousness on Mt. Zion in Jerusalem.  Rev. 19:11-19   Notice the Rod of Iron in verse 15 as HIS Church has, by then, become HIS Rod of Iron.

There is but one Church of Christ Jesus as LORD,
All who Love, Honor and Obey HIM are eternal members.

144,000

Revelation of Christ Jesus, by John.    “Worth Considering”   6/30/21   by Ken Smith<><

Three things of interest.  One came to the surface in our discussion on Tuesday,  6/29/21

1.)    144,000
In our gathering last night we spent sometime on the 144,000.   But there are only 2 scriptures concerning them.

Revelation 7:4, “And [then] I heard how many were sealed (marked) out of every tribe of the sons of Israel: there were 144,000.  5 Twelve thousand were sealed (marked) out of the tribe of Judah, 12,000 of the tribe of Reuben, 12,000 of the tribe of Gad, … and so on…  9 After this I looked and a vast host appeared which no one could count, [gathered out] of every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages. These stood before the throne and before the Lamb; they were attired in white robes, with palm branches in their hands.  10 In loud voice they cried, saying, [Our] salvation is due to our God, Who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb [to Them we owe our deliverance]!  11 And all the angels were standing round the throne and round the elders [ [a] of the heavenly Sanhedrin ] and the four living creatures, and they fell prostrate before the throne and worshiped God.  12 Amen! (So be it!) they cried. Blessing and glory and majesty and splendor and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and might [be ascribed] to our God to the ages and ages (forever and ever, throughout the eternities of the eternities)! Amen! (So be it!)

Revelation 14:1-3, ‘Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb stood on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 [men] who had His name and His Father’s name inscribed on their foreheads.  2 And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of great waters and like the rumbling of mighty thunder; the voice I heard [seemed like the music] of harpists [a] accompanying themselves on their harps.  And they sang a new song before the throne [of God] and before the four living creatures and before the elders [of the heavenly Sanhedrin ]. No one could learn [to sing] that song except the 144,000 who had been ransomed (purchased, redeemed) from the earth.  4 These are they who have not defiled themselves by relations with women, for they are [[c] pure as] virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These are they who have been ransomed (purchased, redeemed) from among men as the first-fruits for God and the Lamb.  5 No lie was found to be upon their lips, for they are blameless (spotless, untainted, without blemish) before the throne of God.  This view of the 144,000 appears to be in heaven and not on earth.

So with this very limited amount of information obviously it is a supernatural awareness that in spite of Titus in 70 AD destroying Israel and converting it into Palestine and all of the Jewish persecutions that there remains a pure family of Abraham for the promises that God gave to Abraham.  And that they are Jewish Holy men who have made Jesus LORD.  And that they are musicians who fill the heavens with a new song in worship of Christ Jesus as LORD.  After 2,000 years of denial, Jesus as LORD could be the new song.   I suspect that their purity is due to the redemption of GOD through Christ Jesus as LORD as all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.  Isa. 53 and need the redemption that is in Christ Jesus as LORD.

2. )   The Two Witnesses, Please note in witnessing an event at least 2 witnesses are needed.
    Deut. 17:6,  19:15,  Matt 18:16,  26:60,   2 Cor 13:1,  1 Tim. 5:19,  Heb. 10:28
    
Rev. 11:2-12, “ But leave out of your measuring the court outside the sanctuary of God; omit that, for it is given over to the Gentiles (the nations), and they will trample the holy city underfoot for 42 months (three and one-half years).  3 And I will grant the power of prophecy to My two witnesses for 1,260 (42 months; three and one-half years), dressed in sackcloth.  4 These [witnesses] are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth.  5 And if anyone attempts to injure them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their enemies; if anyone should attempt to harm them, thus he is doomed to be slain.   6 These [two witnesses] have power to shut up the sky, so that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying (their [a] prediction of events relating to Christ’s kingdom and its speedy triumph); and they also have power to turn the waters into blood and to smite and scourge the earth with all manner of plagues as often as they choose.  7 But when they have finished their testimony and their evidence is all in, the beast (monster) that comes up out of the Abyss (bottomless pit) will wage war on them, and conquer them and kill them.  8 And their dead bodies [will lie exposed] in the open street ([b] a public square) of the great city which is in a spiritual sense called [by the mystical and allegorical names of] Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.  9 For three and a half days men from the races and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and will not allow them to be put in a tomb.  10 And those who dwell on the earth will gloat and exult over them and rejoice exceedingly, taking their ease and sending presents [in congratulation] to one another, because these two prophets had been such a vexation and trouble and torment to all the dwellers on the earth.  11 But after three and a half days, by God’s gift the breath of life again entered into them, and they rose up on their feet, and great dread and terror fell on those who watched them.  12 Then [the two witnesses] heard a strong voice from heaven calling to them, Come up here! And before the very eyes of their enemies they ascended into heaven in a cloud.

There are 3 possibilities for who are these witnesses,   Enoch, Elijah and John (due to no knowledge of John’s death and what Jesus said about him to Peter, John 21:22-23)   So as we read the account of the 2 witnesses it appears that they are to record the events of evil so as to stand in the 2nd Judgment and give an accurate account of what was done by lucifer for his judgment.  Notice in verse 7 “and their evidence is all in” they are killed.  Seems this may be the second half of the Great Tribulation.  As their ministry seems to begin as lucifer takes over the 3rd Temple claiming to be god.  And as  “It is appointed unto man, once to die but after this the judgment.” Heb.9:27.  It may well be Enoch and Elijah as the prophets of God as they never died?

3.)  The Great Whore of Rev. 17-18,   
For me, this is obviously the gathering together of the counterfeit world church as it comes together in the end time (now) and the fiery Judgment of the whore.   Note that she sits on 7 hills, Rev.17:9.   Two world cities sit on 7 hills, Jerusalem and Rome.  So read carefully, I like the Amplified as giving the better picture and also please note Rev. 18:4 that warns the Christian to leave that counterfeit church prior to her Judgment.  Just as Jesus also warmed the Christians to leave Jerusalem in 70 AD,  in Matt.24:15-19

THE SEVEN YEARS

(3)    THE SEVEN YEARS,  …..   IN HEAVEN: ECSTASY,   ON EARTH: WRATH/TRIBULATION,   6/28/21
            Tues. 5:30 will be the 2nd of the RAPTURE series of the end times at Kealia House Church. 
            Located at 85-4554 Mamalahoa Hwy.  Captain Cook, HI 96704,   ken@trinity-aloha.org   P0T BLESSING.

Next Tuesday we will be considering the Miraculous balance of God as found in those 7 years.   Opposites in play at the same time.  The birth of the baby and the destruction of the placenta at the same time.  So we will be looking at what happens in heaven first.  Isa.28:14 (11-20)   “Line upon Line”

INTRODUCTION:    7 YEAR (time line chapters,)   REV.  6  & 12:
Actually there is a very precise time line concerning the Resurrection of the Dead and the Rapture running through the Holy Scriptures which starts at the Rapture.   (You will probably have questions, so send them.)

First of all, it would seem an impossibility for the 1st Resurrection of the dead to be at any other time than just before the Great Tribulation.  As the Holy Spirit who came at Pentecost will no longer be here during the Great Tribulation.  2 Thess. 2:3-10.  AMP.   And in the Rapture of those DEAD and ALIVE, the saved of Christ Jesus receive new eternal bodies will be filled with the Holy Spirit,  1 Cor.15:40-57.   And Jesus  brings HIS rewards with HIM to share for their works done for HIM when alive, 1 Cor.3:14. And as the “Rod of Iron” And then the Church also enjoy a great victory over lucifer and boot him and his minions out of the heavens all prior to  Mid/Trib. Rev.12:11.  (In Adam we let him in, In Christ Jesus we get to boot him out.  Ezek. 28:18.)   After this great victory the heavens are cleansed and then comes the great gathering of the Marriage Feast of the Lamb  (The eternal union between Christ Jesus and HIS Church that HE died for.  Rev.19:6-9 This will be a gathering of those who had faith in the Lamb of God for their salvation up to the Rapture.  At the end of the 7 years,  Jesus Christ gathers HIS Church/Bride/Body/Rod of Iron and heads for earth to destroy all of the great armies of the world gathered in Israel,  seeking to prevent the promises of God from reaching Abraham.  This is called Armageddon after the name of the valley in which it happens.  It will not be much of a battle as Christ Jesus crushes all of the army’s gathered there with only the Word of HIS Mouth.   Israel will then have a pile of steel right at their front door step for gardening in the Land promised to Abraham and his family,  The Kingdom of Christ Jesus,  The Prince of Peace on earth then for 1,000 years.

FAMILIES IN GOD’S KINGDOM:  Acts 3:25,  Gen.12:3,  Gen.28:14
Those in the faith of Abraham under the old testament covenant are family/friends of the Bridegroom.  John 3:28,  “Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.  29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom:   but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.  30 He must increase, but I must decrease. ”     Those in Jesus under the New Testament (WILL) covenant,  filled with the Holy Spirit are the (Bride/Church/Body of Christ/Rod of Iron.)  The Prophet John, saw this clearly and states he is a friend of the Bridegroom.   John was the last and greatest of the Old Testament Prophets so he would represent Israel.  There May be other families prior to Noah and prior to Abraham & Moses are other families that are invited to join the party of the 3 1/2 years of the Marriage Feast of the Lamb.  It would give all of us a chance to check out Abraham, Moses, David and the other folks of faith in Hebrews 11.  Could it be possible that Charlton Heston really does look like Moses????

SOOOO  WHEN the Old & New Testament  Saints of Jesus all get raptured and are given new eternal bodies, they will also receive their rewards and then join with Michael for the  big WAR in the heavens to boot lucifer and all of his fallen angels out of the heavens.     And after this, in heaven,  the Church goes directly into the marriage feast of the LAMB.   The Union/Marriage of Christ Jesus and HIS Church and  includes all of the O.T.  Saints that at the feast and it will fill the heavens for a long long time.  It begins around Mid/Trib after which the Church is clothed in fine linen and are given white horses to come down with Jesus to view HIS absolute victory at Armageddon and set up His Kingdom on earth.

We are not told much of the details of that WAR Rev.12:7 in the heavens  But it will probably be a learning phase for the Church as to how to do a battle in the heavenly.  There is the Unity factor of John 17 that needs completion and also the faith factor of Heb.11 that the Church needs to grow up into to learn how to overcome by the Blood of the Lamb, There is need for a 100% Commitment, Rev.12:11   And there is the organization of Eph. 4:11-16.   WE are way behind in learning how to walk all this out at this time.  Personally,  I don’t feel that WAR is a slam dunk.  I feel it is going to be a real hands on spiritual warfare in which the Church/Bride grows up into learning how to be the Rod of Iron for the LORD.  That the victory is ours but it could take some time on the battle field for us to get the hang of what we need to know to enjoy that victory.   Lucifer and his minions will not go quietly into vacating the power of the air.  We enjoy the same spiritual learning processes on earth and with testing.  This victory will bring much joy and Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.  We need to practice down here.  Rev. 12:12….

In the chronology of Rev. 12,   Man-child (Jesus) is caught up Rev.12:5 which will complete the head with the body which is Christ and the Church,  He is the Head and the Church is the Body (Rod of Iron) Joined together in the Rapture.  Rom.12:5,  1 Cor. 12:27,  Col.1:24,   The only reason the Church is still here is as yet the Body of Christ is yet incomplete but we are already into the birth pains (Matt. 24) for the delivery so are getting close.  The delivery is the Rapture or the snatching away into a new spiritual life of freedom with Christ Jesus,  our Creator God made flesh.

REVIEW:
At first, Rev.12:6,  for  3 ½ years, the Woman, (Israel) flees into the wilderness this is the beginning of the 7 yr. Great Tribulation and at the same time the war breaks out in heaven and the dragon is defeated and booted out by the Church at the end of that first ½ of the Great Tribulation,   Rev. 12:11.  The Church enjoys the 1st resurrection at the beginning of the 7 years and each soul is given a new eternal body and also rewards are given for works while on earth. (Not to be confused with salvation.)  1 Cor. 3:13-14. “The work of each [one] will become [plainly, openly] known (shown for what it is); for the day [of Christ] will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done.  14 If the work which any person has built on this Foundation (Jesus),  [any product of his efforts whatever] survives [this test], he will get his reward.”      So we are resurrected or translated, given a new body, and evaluated for rewards and then go to assist Michael and make the difference of victory (EZEK.28:18 ) in booting lucifer and his minions out of the heavens. Rev. 12:11.   And the devil comes down having great Wrath,  Rev.12:12 in the middle of the 7 years of the Great Tribulation of God’s WRATH.  He desecrates the Temple .  Due to God allowing lucifer to exist we have had the opportunity spiritually grow up very fast.  But like wights in a gym, they can make you.   Many a good athlete has been broken due to pride and rebellion.  The way up, is down in learning about humility and obedience through loving faith in the finished work of Christ Jesus.   Yours in HIS great love,   Ken<><   www.trinity-aloha.org

STRENGTH in WEAKNESS

THIS IS SO “WORTH CONSIDERING” THAT I JUST HAD TO SEND IT ALONG…
   Yours, in HIS great love and wonderful grace and mercy,   Ken<>< www.Trinity-Aloha.org

PERFECTING STRENGTH in WEAKNESS       6/24/21
by Kenneth W. Talbott

“God does not offer us a way out of the testings of life.  He offers us a way through, and that makes all the difference.” -W.T. Purkizer     Often God’s way up is down: from the “downer” of 40 days in the wilderness, to the beginning of a ministry of signs and wonders;  from the downside of a Roman prison, to letters that are still cherished two millennia later; from declaring with a curse, “I know not the Man,” to “in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene — walk!”

PLUMBING the DEPTHS BEFORE doing “GREATER THINGS”
Be open to this possibility: not even the depths can thwart the  purposes of God; in fact, the road to the heights normally runs right through them! As a famous artist once commented to a friend of mine, “My greatest pictures are painted against a dark background.” No matter how “negative” the process looks to our eyes and others (think of Job and his so-called counselors),  God faithfully, and without tiring, draws us through the “depths” of our soulish lives and impulses toward the heights of the life of the Spirit.  At the end of his troubles, Job finally understood, “I know You can do all things,” and “No purpose of Yours can be thwarted.”

I have many times faced the death of my dreams, visions, ideas,  goals and initiatives. Yet, more and more, I am seeing God’s hand, offering to transform all these “negative-appearing results of my weakness and failure,” to use them as my teachers, showing me what abiding in Him actually looks like. Even our worst mess-ups can be seen as gifts in the purposes of God –  what Michael Wells calls “warning lights,” which serve to keep us better on course.

There is truly a child-like simplicity in all this: When I am abiding in Him, I cannot and will not ask of Him anything that wouldn’t bring glory and honor to Him. I become like the child in a drought-stricken land, whose prayers were answered when a woman was the only person to show up at the “Pray-for-Rain Meeting” carrying an umbrella!

Jesus likened our relationship to Him as to a branch abiding in the vine – concluding His teaching with the words, “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you.” Looks like “greater things” are on the way for all branches abiding in the vine! But, first, let’s look at another aspect of the necessary downside.

MY POINT of EXTREMITY – GOD’s STARTING POINT
George Washington Carver is known for his work in finding so many uses for the peanut. Yet, few are aware that Carver also revitalized the entire paint industry in the South via his work  with pigments drawn from the clays in the soil around Tuskegee Institute (where Carver spent most of his productive years as a researcher/teacher). In one case, year after year, he doggedly  sought to recreate the “royal Egyptian blue,” a mixture of pigments that had last been seen in the Pharaohs’ tombs.  After twenty-five years of unsuccessful experimentation – he finally, desperately, declared to the Lord that he was giving up.       That’s when the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit within him asked, “Have you tried this formulation?” He ran into his lab and tried it. Then, for the first time in 3,000 years out came the royal Egyptian blue!

A lifetime of education and research was not enough. Carver’s point of extremity became God’s starting point. Many, if not all, “greater-than” moments come via divine revelation at the point of man’s extremity.

“THANK GOD for THE COMMUNISTS!”
A “spiritual grandpa” of mine, Norman Grubb, who went to be with the Lord at age 98 some years back, once exclaimed to me, “I thank God for the communists!” Having identified with the anti-communist movement of that era (along with several other “anti- movements”), I gasped in response, “Just how can you say that, Norman?!” Grubb responded with, “The communists are creating the vacuum that can only be filled by Jesus Christ!” It wasn’t much longer after that that the Berlin Wall fell. Thousands of missionaries flooded into formerly communist countries, bringing the good news of Jesus Christ to fill the communist-created vacuum within hungry hearts.

Do you have a problem, a crisis, a perplexity, a relational breakdown, a pain or a sorrow?…  Such problems can be used by the Holy Spirit to create the vacuum that only Jesus Christ can fill.

In the upside-down irony of God, His Holy Spirit typically transforms our greatest areas of weakness into His most powerful areas of ministry through us. Many an unwed mother, transformed by the power of the cross, has eventually started a ministry to unwed mothers and their babies. The Christian parents who lose their children in an accident, perhaps end up starting an orphanage or clinic. The redeemed, former prostitute or drug pusher, develops a rescue ministry for street kids. Coincidence?

We started this transformation process as children, are still in it, and always will be while on this earth.   Speaking for myself, I can say that my days of wanting to do great things for Jesus are, hopefully, behind me. For I now see  how too often I took the vision, figured out how to do it, and clothed it in the robes of my own soulish devices (with Biblical prooftexts, of course), rather than in the robes of Jesus Christ’s  authority. As a result, I have produced a lot of lemons. Now, to my great joy, I am discovering how God makes His lemonade out of my life’s lemons.

Instead of “doing great things for Jesus,” my increasing desire is that I would travel His “downward” path to the place where He does His “greater things” through me.

As George MacDonald wrote, “No words can express how much the world owes to sorrow.  Most of the Psalms were born in the wilderness.  Most of the Epistles were written in a prison. Take comfort, afflicted Christian: when God is about to make a preeminent use of a man, He puts him in the fire.”

SIGNS OF THE TIMES (2)

Aloha Saints, Family & Friend,   beloved of Jesus and me,   John3:16,   John 12:24-26,  John 17:20-24
SIGNS OF THE TIMES (2)

ON 6/23,  I tried to cover the signs of where we are now in God’s Timetable,  Soon will be the Rapture.
(2)  RAPTURE:   6/23/21   today 6/24 I will try to cover the Rapture or  (snatching away)  by Ken Smith<><

Isa. 57:1,    This is a great prophetic verse,   if evil = WRATH,   it is slam dunk.  Wycliffe Bible,  “that the just, or the righteous, have been taken away, before that malice, or the evil, come.”  Some translators use calamity which is close.   Hebrew word:   ra’ah  (evil, calamity) to come.   The 7 yr. Great Tribulation of God’s WRATH to come upon earth for what was done to Jesus & the rejecting HIS salvation?   Also Isa. 28:14-22  fits nicely.

FAMILIES IN GOD’S KINGDOM:
Those in the faith of Abraham under the old testament covenant are the family friends of the Bridegroom.  John 3:28,  “Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.  29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom:   but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.  30 He must increase, but I must decrease. ”   So those in Jesus under the New Testament who (WILL) covenant, and be  filled with the Holy Spirit,  are the Bride/Church.  The Prophet John, saw this clearly and notes he was a friend of the Bridegroom.   John was the last and greatest of the Old Testament Prophets so would represent Israel.  So I suspect that there will be other families of of those prior to Noah and to Abraham and another family that comes into the heaven during the 7 yr. Great Tribulation.   And of course the last family may come out of the 1,000 yr. Kingdom of Christ.  As the experiences will be so very different.  So the relationship to Christ Jesus will be different.  Even as the disciples were different and had different relationships to Jesus.

RAPTURE:
VIRGINS:   Matt. 25:8-12:   “And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.  9 But the wise replied, There will not be enough for us and for you; go instead to the dealers and buy for yourselves.  10 But while they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were prepared went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut.   11 Later the other virgins also came and said, Lord, Lord, open [the door] to us!  12 But He replied, I solemnly declare to you, I do not know you [I am not acquainted with you].  There is so much confusion concerning the Rapture that I no longer go by what folks say about it but what I find for myself in Biblical context.   There is no doubt in my understanding that the Rapture is before the Great 7 yr. Tribulation of GOD’S WRATH.  And we could miss the Rapture if in the world we still had money for oil but not the oil for our lamp.  I find very few 100% Christians today.  Also, the “Rod of Iron”  Is found in 4 places in our Bible,   Psalm 2:9,   Rev. 2:27,  Rev.12:5,  Rev. 19:15.     Note that in Rev:12:5 that the Church (Rod of Iron) & Man Child (Jesus) are caught up together, prior to the 7 years of the Great Tribulation.   Rev. 12:6 (3 1/2 yrs.) + 12:14 for another 3 1/2 yrs.  The 7 yrs. of the Great Tribulation.

In Matt.24:37, Mark 13:33-37 & Luke 21:26-37 Jesus also taught about the Rapture.  In the Rapture of those DEAD and ALIVE, new eternal bodies will be given to all. 1 Cor.15:51,  “Take notice! I tell you a mystery (a secret truth, an event decreed by the hidden purpose or counsel of God). We shall not all fall asleep [in death], but we shall all be changed (transformed)  52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the [sound of the] last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead [in Christ] will be raised imperishable (free and immune from decay), and we shall be changed (transformed).   53 For this perishable [part of us] must put on the imperishable [nature], and this mortal [part of us, this nature that is capable of dying] must put on immortality (freedom from death).  54 And when this perishable puts on the imperishable and this that was capable of dying puts on freedom from death, then shall be fulfilled the Scripture that says, Death is swallowed up (utterly vanquished [h] forever) in and unto victory.  Also Jesus brings HIS rewards with HIM to share for works performed for HIM , 1 Cor.3:14. It is also very clear that the Holy Spirit, who came at Pentecost, and now holds the antichrist at bay will be “taken out of the way”   As the Church is locked together with the Holy Spirit, and when HE leaves, the Church also leaves with HIM .   “ Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the [a] apostasy comes first [unless the predicted great [b] falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come], and the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition),  4 Who opposes and exalts himself so proudly and insolently against and over all that is called God or that is worshiped, [even to his actually] taking his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God.  5 Do you not recollect that when I was still with you, I told you these things?  6 And now you know what is restraining him [from being revealed at this time]; it is so that he may be manifested (revealed) in his own [appointed] time.  7 For the mystery of lawlessness (that hidden principle of rebellion against constituted authority) is already at work in the world, [but it is] restrained only until [c] he (The Holy Spirit) who restrains is taken out of the way.  8 And then the lawless one (the antichrist) will be revealed and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of His mouth and bring him to an end by His appearing at His coming.  (Armageddon)  9 The coming [of the lawless one, the antichrist] is through the activity and working of Satan and will be attended by great power and with all sorts of [pretended] miracles and signs and delusive marvels—[all of them] lying wonders— 2 Thess. 2:3-8.”

Paul shares about in 1 Cor. 15: 51-58 along with 1 Thess.4:15-18 & Acts 1:10-11,   with the meeting in the clouds of the air, verse 17 and in 1 Thess.5 1-4 we are reminded Jesus will snatch away HIS church departure like a thief in the night when others are saying Peace and Safety and they will not escape the Wrath of God and the time of darkness of the Great Tribulation as they were not Looking for HIM and ready and missed HIS coming.  And we see that the wise Virgins had their lights on bright were ready when the Bridegroom came, which is Jesus, and they left with HIM.   And we know that without Faith, it is impossible to please GOD.   If you have no faith for the Rapture,  you may miss it as the 5 foolish virgins when it happens.  Even Jesus could not do many marvelous works in Nazareth due to their unbelief.   And as Jesus did say,  “Be it unto you according to your faith.”

The rapture will happen as a total surprise, at a time when all are feeling false sense of peace and safety as in the days of Noah.   This will not be true at mid-trib as the world wars move into the NWO world slavery of 666, Rev.13:17-18.   1 Peter 4:17-19,”For the time [has arrived] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will [be] the end of those who do not respect or believe or obey the good news (the Gospel) of God?   18 And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of the godless and wicked?   19 Therefore, those who are ill-treated and suffer in accordance with God’s will must do right and commit their souls [in charge as a deposit] to the One Who created [them] and will never fail [them].  Heb. 13 5, “Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said, “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you.”  Of course, we all still have a free will, and we can bail out of HIS care at anytime that we want to.  Or we can love the world and refuse HIS love.

Hope you have you light on and a good supply of oil.   Yours, in HIS great love,

SIGNS OF THE TIMES:

SIGNS FOR END OF THIS AGE:    6/21/21   House Church Study for 6/22/21   5:30PM
    85-4554 Mamalahoa Hwy.  Captain Cook, HI 96704     Ken@trinity-aloha.org

Prior to the Rapture or (snatching away) of the Church from earth and prior to the Great Tribulation…. “When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?  7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.”    Acts 1:6:

But these things will be the signs of HIS coming for the Church in the clouds of he air with the trumpet of GOD.   “And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;  11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”  Acts 1:10-11.  So still a mystery.
 
Jews return to the Land 1948, Matt.24:32-34  (Have wondered about the years of a generation,   If meant Jerusalem, 1967,  6 day war?   Or more to come?   (Generation,  42 generations to Jesus from Abraham in 2,000 years.  Generation = 47 yrs. + 7 Months +/- ) + 1967 = 2015 or 6 yrs ago,  Calendar off by 3 yrs?  2018  ?????  Did not happen in 2018,  we are still here?

Antichrist (False Prophet) False Peace/Safety movement,  Socialism = NWO began about 1789 in the French revolution + Karl Marx 1848 this is where head of the state party became the atheistic ruling party of the people rather than GOD as in Rom.13.   “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”  2 John 1:7

Famines,  pandemic, earthquakes and wars  Matt. 24:5   “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.   6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilence, and earthquakes, in divers places  8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.”

Increase in Persecutions….  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Rom. 8:35,  2 Tim. 3:12,   Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.   

A Powerless Church,   “  But understand this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear].  2 For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane.  3 [They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good.  4 [They will be] treacherous [betrayers], rash, [and] inflated with self-conceit. [They will be] lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God.  5 For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them].  6 For among them are those who worm their way into homes and captivate silly and weak-natured and spiritually dwarfed women, loaded down with [the burden of their] sins [and easily] swayed and led away by various evil desires and seductive impulses.  7 [These weak women will listen to anybody who will teach them]; they are forever inquiring and getting information, but are never able to arrive at a recognition and knowledge of the Truth.   2 Tim. 3:1-7
s
A false church without true riches, purity or the Holy Spirit    “ So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth!  17 For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.   Rev.3:16-17

The “Falling Away” which we are seeing, for sure,  in this past year during the pandemic so called churches have been closing.   “ But relative to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and our gathering together to [meet] Him, we beg you, brethren,  2 Not to allow your minds to be quickly unsettled or disturbed or kept excited or alarmed, whether it be by some [pretended] revelation of [the] Spirit or by word or by letter [alleged to be] from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has [already] arrived and is here.  3 Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the [a] apostasy comes first [unless the predicted great [b] falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come], that the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition),  2 Thess. 2 :1-3,

Darkness getting darker,  Light getting more bright.      Don’t remember the location?

Days of Noah,   False Peace and Safety,   Matt.24:37 .      While they are saying, “Peace and safety [all is well and secure!]” then [in a moment unforeseen] destruction will come upon them…  1 Thess. 5:3

The resurrection Church is without spot, wrinkle or blemish that has made herself ready. Rev. 19:7

TRUE Church is the Rod of Iron for the rule of  Christ Jesus,   Psa.2:9,  Rev.2:26-29,  12:5,  19:15

Church saved from the Wrath of God:   “But we belong to the day; therefore, let us be sober and put on the breastplate (corset) of faith and love and for a helmet the hope of salvation.  9 For God has not appointed us to [incur His] wrath [He did not select us to condemn us], but [that we might] obtain [His] salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)  10 Who died for us so that whether we are still alive or are dead [at Christ’s appearing], we might live together with Him and share His life.   11 Therefore encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify (strengthen and build up) one another, just as you are doing. 1 Thess. 5:8-11     Rom.5:9,  Eph.5:6,  1 John 2:2,  4:10,

PROMISED LAND

Aloha Saints, Family & Friends,  beloved of Jesus and me,   John 3:16,  12:24-26,  17:20-26

PROMISED LAND,     “WORTH CONSIDERING”    6/19/21   From Ken Smith<><

Of all of the people that left Egypt with Moses, only 2 from that whole generation actually entered into the Promised Land.   Remember what Jesus taught: “Straight and narrow is the way to Eternal Life and very few find it.”  So there will be but very few who are on the same page and headed into the Promised Land of the Kingdom of God.  Not that we have it together,  but we are undivided and 100% committed to it.   We are learning not to be diverted by Adam’s world,  flesh,  pride or the demons.  Not that there will be no battles to fight nor flesh to die, Rom.8:13.   But at this time and place they are dealing with their own hypocrisy and giving it a death blow.  That we become really holy inside and outside in HIM.  That there is no room left for hypocrisy,  deceit,  guile or manipulations of the Truth of God.. Matt.23:13-14.  God said it, I believe it, that settles it, is where we want to be.    What I use to love about ministering to the Hippies in the 70’s was what you see was what you got.  There was little or no guile in them for the most part.

If in the space of true humility & obedience the Holy Spirit can open up new understandings of God’s Truth for those who seek, ask and knock.  And HE can teach us what we need to know to grow up in HIM and to help each other.  Our filters for spiritual truth to dump the fictions of this world are with each other a little different and as we work together we can better filter out the world’s fiction from the Truth of God.  Then the pure reflective silver of God’s Truth will be much easier to see his reflection in us as we become like Jesus or the Holy Spirit.    This is,  of course, is the original vision in the creation of man, Gen.1:26.    Our loving Creator wants to create a loving family like HIM who, by choice, will love righteousness and peace.  We are all invited but so very few want to give up the world and go.

Jesus:   ” I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone [just one grain, never more]. But if it dies, it produces much grain and yields a harvest. 25 The one who loves his life [eventually] loses it [through death], but the one who hates his life in this world [and is concerned with pleasing God] will keep it for life eternal. 26 If anyone serves Me, he must [continue to faithfully] follow Me [without hesitation, holding steadfastly to Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]; and wherever I am [in heaven’s glory], there will My servant be also. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.”   John 12:24-26

MINI-FARM:
As for the vision for the TrueVine Farm, we now have an acre+ in two lots on Mamalahoa Hwy. in Kealia, HI.   We call the new addition “The Firehouse” as a home burned down on the property about 5 years ago and also because we would like the fire of GOD to light it up with Holy Fire.    It came complete with all the cement floors, water meter and cesspool and we are now in the process of getting materials together for a 16′ x 33′ room as an outreach ministry facility and House Church.  Also both properties back to thousands of acres of Kingdom Land which means no one living there, just jungle, clear to the top of Mauna Loa from the back property line.

We have moved 2 – 10′ x 20′ Costco tents onto the cement floor and set up a flush toilet with a new water connection with a hot shower next on the list.   It could be a nice free place to camp out if you were ever headed this way to spend time in the Captain Cook area for snorkeling and exploring,  a wonderful touch of Historic Hawaii here.  You can Google the “Firehouse” property at 85-4582 Mamalahoa Hwy.  Captain Cook, HI 96704 and also for the TrueVine Mini farm: use 85-4554 if interested.  At this time we have 2 empty bed rooms and a tent and are looking for some serious help on the farm.  Trade Board & Room for 24 hrs of work per week.  County bus stop a few doors south and for $2. go most anywhere on the Big Island of Hawaii in AC Comfort.

CHANGE      “Worth Considering”     6/11/21    From Ken Smith<><

We are living in a changing world where the darkness is getting darker and the Light is getting brighter.  John, the beloved, APOSTLE, close friend to Jesus had this to say about it.   “ Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.  16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one’s own resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father but are from the world [ itself ].   17 And the world passes away and disappears, and with it the forbidden cravings (the passionate desires, the lust) of it; but he who does the will of God and carries out His purposes in his life abides (remains) forever.  1 John 2:15-17”  Personally, I have found these thought to be very true and very clear.  Only Joshua and Caleb of the generation that left Egypt were the only two souls that were aloud to experience the Promised Land.   John, Peter and Paul were others like Joshua and Caleb and marched to a different drummer.   It is obvious that a great train wreck is about to happen with this nation. And it will be far worse than 1929 when the train wreck hits as most folks, like mine, were farmers and living 90% off of the land.   Long ago on the Big Island the food import was about 10% and 90% was home grown here on the Island and easily available.   Today less than 10% is grown here and 90% is imported.   When oil ceases to flow, shipping will be extremely expensive or stop all together.   Have you noticed the containers are getting smaller and the prices are going higher in the local markets today?  I really have no idea of the time factor but we definitely are headed, as a nation, into the waste basket at this time.  You can feel the vibrations of the train headed this way and the tracks are missing.  It is a planned disruption so that socialism can take over as it did in Germany with Hitler and the National Socialist German Worker’ Party, or Nazi Party in 1920.  Karl Marx 1818-1883 started it all in replacing GOD with the State.  And that Law would work better than in trusting in greed.  That the State could be trusted to make the playing field level for the workers, but, in fact, actually made it worse as “Absolute authority, corrupts, absolutely.”  Socialism, The New World Order (NWO,) is now on the move in atheism so that there is no moral value system except as confirmed by the State.  It is interesting that China today is in control by Socialism but uses Capitalism for the needed financial support.  But really neither system fulfills the Commandment of God to love your neighbor as yourself.  But in China the CCP is now God that all must be very careful to respect as also in N. Korea.

So seems, it would be an excellent idea to take some time to take inventory to be sure you are headed into the light of God and HIS Truth.  And neither being corrupted by Capitalism nor by Socialism.  And not depending upon your feelings as to what you feel should be right and wrong.   As we need to line up with what our Creator says is right or wrong and find out what HE would like from us.  He has anointed HIS Prophets and Jesus for this very purpose.

GREAT QUOTES on PERSEVERANCE
“Nothing paralyzes our lives like the attitude that things can never change. We need to remind ourselves that God can change things. Outlook determines outcome. If we see only the problems, we will be defeated; but if we see the possibilities in the problems, we can have victory.” – Warren Wiersbe    “God knows our situation; He will not judge us as if we had no difficulties to overcome. What matters is the sincerity and perseverance of our will to overcome them.”  – C.S. Lewis    “The way to Heaven is ascending; we must be content to travel uphill, though it be hard and tiresome, and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh.”   – Jonathan Edwards

“Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” – Harriet Beecher Stowe    “Do not be lazy. Run each day’s race with all your might, so that at the end you will receive the victory wreath from God. Keep on running even when you have had a fall. The victory wreath is won by him who does not stay down, but always gets up again, grasps the banner of faith and keeps on running in the assurance that Jesus is Victor.” – Basilea Schlink
“At the timberline where the storms strike with the most fury, the sturdiest trees are found.” – Hudson Taylor            “Storms make the oak grow deeper roots.”- George Herbert
“We must wake ourselves up! Or somebody else will take our place, and bear our cross, and thereby rob us of our crown.”  – William Booth

Bishops and Biden: Why the Hesitancy and Hypocrisy When It Comes to Abortion?

Worthy Brief <worthybrief@worthynetwork.com&gt;
Much of what we can learn is how NOT to behave, and what NOT to do. Yet there are also the lessons from the few who were over-comers, Joshua and Caleb particularly. From them, we may grasp what a life of faith, courage, and victory looks like.     While people often say that history repeats itself – it doesn’t mean that people must repeat history. We do have the option of learning from it, and from those who were the over-comers. In the days of the Exodus, only two adult men actually entered the Promised land, out of the thousands that originally left Egypt – only Joshua and Caleb. What was different about them? They followed God fully – and were of a different spirit.  so these lessons from Israel’s history to heart. By learning from their mistakes, and being encouraged by the faithful few, you may avoid repeating (sad) history – and rather, learning from it, enter your own inheritance in the “Promised Land”

Russia is preparing to provide Iran with an advanced satellite that would enable it to track potential military targets across the Middle East, the Washington Post reported on Thursday.  Two Iranian ships are currently traversing the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Iran’s state TV reported Thursday, concerns about missiles near the U.S.   European Union leaders on Thursday called for an unfettered investigation into the origins of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which they said is necessary to draw the right lessons from the pandemic.   Gov. Greg Abbott announced Thursday that Texas will build a border wall along the Mexican border.

These thoughts are certainly the heart of the Gospel.  But if it had not been for Floyd walking it out,  I would not have not been interested in 1955, and I would have continued in a total junk pile of sin that I was in at the time..Four Spiritual Laws mentioned in Monkey Town | God loves            you, Names of jesus christ, Names of jesus

So in our generation, what will best connect and yet give the same truth that is greatly needed.   The 4 Spiritual Laws were used by Bill Bright during the 70’s great revivals in Calif.  I attended his seminars three times on the same subjects just to try to get that truth down deep in my heart where it works..  But really first found them with the Navigators in 1955.

But there must be better ways to convey this truth than as a LAW.    People have been deeply trained to avert and to hate LAWS.     Perhaps something like this might work?   I am sure it could be fine tuned to be even better to be understood by this generation?
 
1.    Our Eternal Creator is LOVE and has invited us to learn how to be like HIM.
2.    But we were born into Adam’s rebellion and need to choose to change our direction.
3.    Our Creator sent Jesus to tell us the Truth and to help us choose to be really free.
4.    If we will hear Jesus and submit to God’s Truth there will be a happy ending.
5.    And believe it or not,  Our Creator wants to empower us to help us live for HIM.  

And of course this is only the beginning of a life time of needed real change.  Some are fast at it, some are slow at it.  I often feel I am a pretty slow learners.   Often I feel that is why I am still here at near 89.  Seems like I never really graduated.   Never really allowed what I have learned to be so deep rooted as to totally change my life style.  But sort of beginning to feel headed in that direction at this time.   About time???    Seems like we are also really headed into Matt. 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 Jesus Prophesy and into the world’s birth pains for the delivery of the Completed Church, The Body of Christ, The Rod of Iron, that is to rule by HIS side.   So we now have a world full of stuff to draw our attention away from where the world is headed.   But the clock is ticking, seems very fast now, towards the coming birth of the Church and the “Wrath OF God” mentioned in the Holy Scriptures.   BECAUSE…….

Like our God given Constitutional Rights are now really being challenged.     Like our God given Constitutional Rights are now really being challenged.

#1   Hard to say what you feel is right to say now without getting into physical violence.   But porn is OK and running rampant.  And seems that Bibles are now into being considered  a Hate publication.

#2.  Becoming more difficult to defend your family and home without getting into some kind of stupid litigation.
FaceBook,  RightWingRantsRaves;   If a madman wants to kill innocent people he will find a way.  Killers don’t need guns to kill people.   Timothy McVeigh used fertilizer.    9-11 terrorists used box cutters & jets.  The Nazis used cyanide gas…   Taking guns from innocent people will not protect innocent people.  The problem is not guns.  It is our Godless Society.   When I went to school in the 30’s there was the 10 commandment by the light switch,  prayer, song of all kinds including church,  God in the pledge and Jesus in the Battle Hymn with the Star Spangle Banner flying.  School was God, Country, Mother and Apple Pie all mixed up.  We knew good from bad when we left.

#3.  Obviously life begins at conception but legally it is not made clear and 50,000,000 + children have been killed now (aborted) in our country.  I am sure that God is very upset about this.

#4.  We are allowing children to determine their sexuality by how they feel.  Or on how they have been influenced.  This elevator does not even go to the top floor.  There are no sex change operation,  it is an impossibility.

And we wonder why families are falling apart and they, really are the foundations on which this country was built.   Unless there is a National Repentance and break with this darkness, God’s judgment will not linger for long.

Satellite images taken last year appear to show concealment activity at an Iranian facility previously identified as a site where Tehran was accused of manufacturing a key component for its nuclear program.    The developer of the Keystone XL pipeline announced Wednesday that it had pulled the plug on the project, citing President Biden’s decision to rescind its cross-border permit, bringing the 13-year battle over the major infrastructure project to an end.     A new Gallup poll shows US support for legal same-sex marriage is at a record high of 70%, Gallup reports.
