I am indeed fortunate that my three children ( Ages 27, 22, 17 ) and I have a mutual adoration for each other. I just simply never assumed that there would be a time when the relationship would break down. I recall parents telling me when I had the first two to enjoy their baby hood, as their teen years would be just… well, the descriptions were demoralizing. I loved each stage, never looking backward or forward. I always enjoyed what I had right, at the time. I am so very grateful for the relationships we’ve built. As I watch the country I grew up in melt down, and the fabric of our values shred, I remain hopeful. I’m not hopeful that this nation will remain. Surely, The Lord must judge it soon. Neither am I hopeful that somehow Christians will repent, and turn. There is no longer a recognition among the religious for repentance. So, you ask, what am I hopeful for? I know that The God I have placed my trust in, will lead them safely into His arms. Time after time, His protection and love for them has prevailed. Last evening, my son and a friend of his from school spent some time with me. They are both crushed and angry that their coach and mentor was discovered to be carrying on a relationship with a 14 year old girl. This man was able to train himself to behave and act in a Christian manner, while in secret, abase everything that relationship is supposed to represent. I am so grateful that they want to talk about it, and were protected. You see, The Beast kingdom has now engulfed us. Not only has our society adopted it, The “Church” in our country is so engulfed in it’s values, that it’s no longer recognized as evil. Further, hours and hours each day are spent by many in “The Church” worshiping the very image of the beast. What? Worshiping an idol? Let’s see… what must John have thought, as he looked out over our world, and saw household after household sitting in front of their television sets for hours on end. The picture beaming back the very “image” of our society, The Beast. What else could he have surmised? If I were to go to a “backward” nation, and observe natives sitting in front of a stone or wood pillar for hours on end, neither talking to each other, or taking their focus off the object, I’d come to the conclusion that they were worshiping! I beg you. Turn it off. Disconnect your mind and your spirit from the poison that is being poured out daily. Instead, give your time over to study and prayer. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Time, my dear ones is so very short. The final darkness is about to swallow this nation. You cannot leave, I understand… not in the natural, anyway. However, you can, right now, choose to leave spiritually. Decide this day, which path will you choose. Your life depends upon it. The lives of your children hang in the balance. It is your prayers that protect them. It is your walk that leads them. It is the light of God’s word working through you that will shield them.
