[How to find salvation where you are done running your own life]: “Come to Me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. I will refresh your soul with living water. Come refresh yourself in the living water.”

My note: America is in the 40 day window from August 21 solar eclipse through September 30’s Yom Kippur — otherwise known as the Day of Atonement. For 2,000 years God’s faithful people have been watching and waiting for God to step back into his-story in a powerful way leading to the return of his Son, Jesus Christ — savior of our world, ruler of all the heavens, God’s word that will last for all time. Jesus plainly stated after he rose from the dead that he would return and gave his disciples signs to watch for. His watchman have been excited ever since Israel became a sovereign nation back in their Biblical lands in 1948 — after being in exile for 2,000 years. When Jerusalem in 1967 became Israel’s true capital again, prophecy watchers cheered — as this narrows the time for Christ’s arrival to a certain generation.

Now for the spoiler alert: YOUR ARE LIVING IN THE END TIMES RIGHT BEFORE CHRIST RETURNS FOR HIS BELIEVERS. You will not have time for great-grandchildren. You will not have time to amass fortunes in stocks. You will not care for all the distractions which have lured you away from worshiping the one true God — the great I AM — soon, very soon. God has warned his prophets very plainly that his return is soon. The man who will blaspheme the living God called anti- (or against all that is) Christ(like) is alive and a mature politician. The false prophet who does not have a personal relationship with Christ but only hides behind a facade of pomp, ceremony and religious-looking practices is also alive and working on his dream of a one world religion that ignores God’s plan of salvation through his son, Jesus. All the players are in place. The whole world is about to shake with calamities, disasters and events that seem to defy the laws of science — because scientists did not make natural laws, God did. They can only REPORT ON THEIR FINDINGS OF HIS LAWS. Oh arrogant man that displaces God and his laws, saying we are much too modern to listen to your myths about Father God. We choose instead to believe Satan’s lies about Mother Earth, technology will save us, scientists are smarter than God, all paths lead to your best life ever — and worst of all — there is nothing beyond this world — just nothingness so grab all you can before you die. Horrible, ghastly lies. Turn to God. Abandon arrogance and self-sufficiency. You are nothing by yourself…only a soul tied to Satan.

Do not fear if you have wrenched free from the great deceiver’s lies and turned your life and future over to God for safekeeping, admitting you are a sinner in need of a savior named Jesus, the Christ, {for all is according to his times and plans. He does indeed have the whole world in His hands — as the song goes.

Charles Darwin put forth his theories more than a century ago to counter Biblical truth about Father God creating first man, then woman as his help-mate, beginning the first couple who then went on to become a first family with a marriage consisting of one man and one woman — the Biblical model. Hope and love. We all are built to crave these two but are confused about where to place our hope and who is the author of love, the lover of our soul — not just our outward appearance. You need living water to bring your soul to life. You must have truth — God’s truth. This sword of truth cuts through all lies of the enemy of your soul, the great deceiver, Satan.

Satan is desperate to put forth any kind of lies to counter truth. Athiests, agnostics and willful disbelievers are complicit with these deceptions because they too are desperate to explain away a creator God and His creation. If God is indeed in charge, there must be rules and sovereignty. This would require obedience, worship and service to God rather than worship of self, science, idols and world systems.

Darwinism began as a theory taught alongside creationism, but over time academics pushed God and his truth farther and farther away. Now mostly secular science is taught at institutions of “higher learning” but God says without Him man’s knowledge and plans are mere foolishness of imaginations. Satan is more than willing to lean over and whisper in your ear all manner of deception and doubt. “Did God really say that? Is that what YOU want to believer? What is right in your own eyes?” Do you recognize this deception? It is just recycled from Genesis and the Garden of Eden where man first turned against God’s truth, turning from the Tree of Life to the world’s Tree of the Knowledge of Good an Evil. So sad. So tragic. Men and women just keep gullibly falling into the same trap over and over in each succeeding generation. Satan changes his lies according to the era, but at the base is the same…sowing doubt about the infallibility of God’s Word, the Bible, and God’s son, Jesus, sent for our salvation.

Paul, chosen and changed by God to bring truth to all after Jesus returned to heaven, spoke these words of truth to the people then 2,000 years ago which are the same truth yesterday, today and forever: “God made the world and everything in it. He is Lord of heaven and earth, and he doesn’t live in temples built by human hands. He doesn’t need help from anyone. He gives life, breath, and everything else to all people. From one person God made all nations who live on earth, and he decided when and where every nation would be. God has done all this, so that we will look for him and reach out and find him. He isn’t far from any of us, and he gives us the power to live, to move, and to be who we are. We are his children…He isn’t like anything that humans have thought up and made.” (Acts 17: 24-28) Does this not clearly remove any confusion about evolution and organisms becoming human without God? Foolishness has been eagerly embraced for far too long. It is way past time we ask forgiveness for our sins of unbelief and worship of scientists and theories.

God alone owns truth. I will tell you of a small miracle. I felt led to type these words for you this morning, but then wondered if I should on this first day of American “Spring Break” for teachers, like me, all over America. This holiday used to properly be called Easter Vacation, but no more as people are deliberately attempting to erase the God who created us from modern life. I returned from the kitchen making Saturday muffins for the family, and one of my repentance cards to hand out for people to find this website lay right on top of my laptop. There is no way it could be there in the natural. They reside in a cardboard box on a shelf. It was not there last night. Only an angel or Holy Spirit could have put it there. So….I write in obedience. The last verse I will leave is a fair warning: “God…now says that everyone everywhere must turn to him. He has set a day wen he will judge the world’s people with fairness. And he has chosen the man Jesus to do the judging for him. God has given proof of this to all of us by raising Jesus from death.” Acts 17: 30-31

I have news for you. Your soul is immortal. You will live on after this stage called life ends. BUT, where your soul resides will be determined by your faith in the testimony of him who is described as “faithful and true” in the Bible — Jesus Christ.

Some Pertinent Wisdom from George Orwell who fought with words against darkness:

“War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it.”   

“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”

“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.”

Oh wisdom! Where can it be found in this world of exponential growth of knowledge, scientific thought and theories, artificial intelligence and technology? You see. I know something that fools do not. One must start wisdom with this basic fact: GOD EXISTS in a triune configuration of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. If that is so, then all knowledge (and prophecies for that matter) of man must be held up to scripture, God’s word to his creation.

David, who wrote songs of praise to God which have been collected and placed in the Book of Psalms in the Bible says, “All creation will thank you, and your loyal people will praise you. They will tell about your marvelous kingdom and your power. Then everyone will know about the mighty things you do and your glorious kingdom. Your kingdom will never end, and you will rule forever.Our Lord, you keep your word and do everything you say.” (Psalm 145: 10-13) Wow! In this world of lies and deception, greed for gain, cheating and man-created theories, GOD KEEPS HIS WORD. Always. Forever.

Here is another truth. When Jesus laid down his life for our sins and took back the keys of death from Lucifer, the rebellious would-be-god who rules his inferior hellish kingdom of Hades, he provided a once-and-forever entrance to his Father’s heavenly kingdom. There is only one entrance to an eternity as one of God’s beloved children and that gate is called JESUS. Turn now, this day, from your sins of rebellion and pride with abject sorrow and regret. Confess that without God you are just poor, blind, naked and a skin-bag without his life-giving breath. We modern humans have a way over-inflated view of ourselves. See how far your arrogance and theories will get you when you wake up after this life and realize the consequence of your choices during this trial and testing period we call a lifetime. Educate yourself about God and his word with as much zeal as you do your distractions and hobbies.

GOD WILL SOON CAUSE A SHAKING TO THE WHOLE EARTH. NOTHING WILL BE AS IT WAS. HE SET A TIME PERIOD OF RETURN FROM WHEN JESUS ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN IN 32 A.D. AND THAT TIME HAS A FEW SECONDS LEFT ON ETERNITY’S CLOCK. God speaks daily to his servants the prophets. Read the clarion calls going out to make straight a path for the Lord as John the Baptist did 2,000 years ago. Read the Old Testament prophets begging God’s people to return to Him and away from worshiping foreign gods and following sinful customs. GOD LOVES YOU and wishes for you not to perish without Him, but he also GIVES YOU A CHOICE! “As soon as God speaks, the earth obeys. The Lord is pleased only with those who worship him and trust his love. The Lord doesn’t care about the strength of horses or powerful armies.”

The Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever. HE IS LOVE in pure essence. Do not be fooled by the enemy of your soul. Satan is the accuser and deceiver. He and his demon servants seek only to distract, delay your decision and throw multiple chains of deception around you so that your soul will be another prize, another slave for the kingdom of literal darkness, without God’s light. Without hope. Because of no faith on your part. Churches should be screaming this truth from the top of their lungs, but have been deceived into business-building models of more people and a bigger budget and building meaning success. Jesus modeled successful evangelism without ever owning a building. He walked humbly amongst his creation preaching the good news about God’s kingdom of salvation available for the common people. He brought signs, wonders and miracles with him wherever he went. He gave the great commission to go out into all the world and bring sinners into the Kingdom of God. We must follow his example…his heart for the lost…love what Jesus loves…and work while the invitation to salvation is still available for all.

God chose from before the foundation of the world a perfect substitute for our sins: Jesus. “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.” – Isaiah 53:5-6 NIV Jesus became the atoning sacrifice for YOUR SINS, for MY SINS, for ALL OF Our SINS!! You are just simply a poor, lost sheep without the good shepherd: Jesus.

You were created to dwell in My Garden and not in this fallen earth. In the midst of the storm, I AM your Shelter and a Refuge from the evil winds that blow.

Proverbs 18:11 “The rich think their money is a wall of protection.” You can hide behind a wall. It keeps you safe. In America, the wealth of the stock exchange even resides on Wall Street. But God’s word makes it very very plain that we are all poor, blind, naked and wretched at death without belief in His only beloved son, Jesus. No matter your possessions or bank accounts in life, not one penny goes with you into eternity. Wealth is not a wall in the end but a barricade of pride that kept you away from true belief that you, like everyone else on this planet, need a savior to enter the reward of righteousness, which is heaven.

God’s promises in his Word are true. This one is glorious and timely when reading of celebrities who age and die, or of a loved one’s sudden passing. Glory be to God. We who believe in His promises need not fear death. “Death has lost the battle!” (1 Corinth. 15:54) The words preceding it promise: “The bodies we have now are weak and can die. BUT they will be changed into bodies that are eternal. Then the Scriptures will come true.  (1 Corinth. 15:54)

“Our bodies of flesh and blood will decay.  This means they cannot share in God’s kingdom, which lasts forever.” (1 Corinth. 15:50) They cannot live in heaven as they did on earth. A change needs to occur. One must go from physical to spiritual. What is the ticket to this heavenly transition? A solid belief in the doorway, Jesus Christ, son of God. One must admit their sinful nature and repent, or ask God himself for forgiveness. This is a heart issue between you and eternal God. One must then turn from wrongdoings and selfishness and truly desire to live a life devoted to others, not self. Since self-interest and greed are natural to humankind, you will need Holy Spirit’s help to actually turn from that which is worldly to that which is righteous, true and good. Do not depend on your own assumptions and thoughts which are not founded on God’s Word, the Bible. Choose instead to base your life now and your eternal destiny on words will last forever, as God himself has stated. Search them. Spend time letting the words sift through your brain and positively affect your mind.  Blessings of peace and a key to break the chains of fear and darkness will begin to fall off of you.

An event is coming, one that Christians should recognize as God’s kingdom coming ever closer to earth. God has asked over and over and over that humankind would be thankful and worship Him as their true creator, but most have stubbornly turned away. The Bible tells us this time is coming of sifting — “Goats” (the perverse, unholy and stubborn) from God’s “Sheep” (sanctified, saved and forgiven through belief in His Son). I would plead with you to work out your salvation with the Lord today. Turn to Him while He may easily be found. Pray for peace in our troubled, tumultuous world so that death will not be victorious over you. Satan will lose another soul. You will go with laughter and joy into your Father’s house (heaven), designed for you from the foundations of the world.

God let me experience the feeling of this translation from mortal into glorious immortal on the night of June 23, 2011. You are still recognizable as you, but strong and glowing with bright white light. Oh, it is the most glorious of all realities! “I will explain a mystery to you. Not every one of us will die, but we will all be changed. It will happen suddenly, quicker than the blink of an eye. At the sound of the last trump, the dead will be raised. We will all be changed, so that we will never die again.” (1 Corinth. 15:52)

People of earth. Be put on notice. God does not offer entrance to His kingdom based on your level of fame, level of recognition, film or song credits, balance in your bank accounts, number or kind of houses and cars you own or how much fine wine and spirits you owned. He only grants entrance by your free-will acceptance of His Holy Spirit…through repentance and turning from your selfish, wicked, worldly ways. I am so grieved over each famed obituary I read. I search and scan for any sign that they followed the Prince of Peace and not the liar and stealer of souls. I usually end grieved that short of a miracle, I will not fellowship with them in eternity. They are gone for good. Their fame from earthly pursuits their only payment. Life separated from the lover of their souls, God, because they were too busy, pompous or arrogant to accept His hand outstretched, until their last breaths.

Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness,”  2 Timothy 2:19.

“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.  If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light.  It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work,”   1 Corinthians 3:11-13. (Those who do good works without Christ and His love, are not working with God, but against him.)

“But be on guard, so that your hearts are not weighed down and depressed with the giddiness of debauchery and the nausea of self-indulgence and the worldly worries of life, and then that day [when the Messiah returns] “will not come on you suddenly like a trap; for it will come upon all those who live on the face of all the earth.  But keep alert at all times [be attentive and ready], praying that you may have the strength and ability [to be found worthy and] to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man [at His coming”],   Luke 21:34-36(Are you walking on His Highway of Holiness before he comes back, or before you go to meet him at death?)

And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?  So run, that ye may obtain.  And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:  but I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway,”
  1 Corinthians 9:23-27 (KJV).

We are in a race together!  A race to share the gospel of  Jesus Christ before we draw our last breath or time ends. At that point, all opportunity for heavenly reward will cease.

There are all types of prizes for earthly contests and races.  The Bible says these prizes, or crowns of sorts, are perishable so will not last forever as they must be left behind when we die. No one takes their Super Bowl ring, Olympics medal, Purple Heart for valor, movie or song trophies, boy scout medals, or school awards with them beyond that veil called eternity.

But there is a race that we’ve all been entered in — like it or not. There are those who can hardly wait to race to accomplish His purpose and plan, or those who just stand at the starting line when it is time to run (no interest in pursuing Jesus), or those who want to quit and wait back in the comfortable locker room (turned their backs on Jesus and His race).

Jesus promises an imperishable crown.  No one can take it from you and it will be yours forever. Think of that! The wonder and awe of being honored for eternity for choices made here = astonishing!

We need to take care how we run this race.  Castaways are just lost souls. They are adrift in a salty sea. How can they answer the call, “Who will go for us?” You cannot reach out to the lost when you yourself do not avail yourself of the cardinal compass points called God, Jesus, Holy Spirit and the Bible (Hisword of truth). You’re just hopelessly lost unable to even find the track where the race is being held without faith in God and his plan of salvation through Jesus’s atonement.

As in an earthly race there are rules to follow if you want to win. TURN OFF YOUR TELEVISION. TUNE OUT SOCIAL MEDIA. LISTEN TO PRAISE MUSIC INSTEAD OF SECULAR JUNK-FOOD FILLERS THAT JUST WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME. Pursue that which God promises to reward. Be kind to yourself. Imagine the most buff workout coach you can, then BECOME THAT PERSON BUT IN A SPIRITUAL SENSE. BECOME A HURDLER OF OBSTACLES THAT COME AGAINST YOU AS A RACER.

For the Spirit-filled Christ follower, we are given guidelines for winning:

  1. Self-control — shrug off the chains that attempt to entangle and drag you down and out to be disqualified. Who can run with their feet entrapped by chains?
  2. Preach to others through your example, in word and deed. BUT — be careful to not participate in self-deception with unclean hands and impure motives that you would be a castaway and be disqualified, for lustful desires for fame, power position, sexual brokenness in its myriad dysfunction forms is our greatest enemy. Obedience to our call must be first.

“In the towns where Jesus had worked MOST of HIS MIRACLES the people REFUSED TO TURN TO GOD. So Jesus was upset with them.” (Matthew 11:20) Talk about exasperating and infuriating! Can you imagine? God’s son, Jesus, leaves his majestic heaven and has come to earth to offer Father’s salvation. By now, the people have already personally witnessed him heal the blind, make the lame to walk, healed the skin-eating destructive disease of leprosy, open deaf ears so they could hear talking, music and laughter, and people who have ceased to live and breathe (the dead) have been raised back to life. (paraphrase of Matthew 11: 4-5)

Then the people seem to think, well that is all well and good, but what else do you have to convince us? We’d like to see you transformed right here. We would like certainty to replace faith. But — Where would be the reward in that? It would be like if God, today in 2016-17, began to write in the clouds: “Attention please! I AM is god. JESUS IS MY SON. Holy Spirit is our comforter. The BIBLE is my truth. Believe in me now as I have plainly written this for you.” So then the people would believe and say, “Finally, you have taken out the faith factor, and I will believe you because I must. I cannot doubt any more. I don’t need faith for what is plainly revealed.”

BUT…God is looking for a people who believe without seeing. His blessing and favor rests on those who believe his Holy scripture and first-hand accounts of the apostles and prophets, but have not seen Jesus in the first century as he walked the earth for 33 years. Over and over the Bible offers blessings for faith.
