Only Preach The Good News?

I hear voices today telling us the Church needs to get away from "doom and gloom" preaching and only preach the good news.  Really?  Read the prophets and the apostles and tell me if they only preached the good news?  When I read the prophets I see a lot of "bad news" being preached.  In fact, I just opened to the book of Isaiah today and right off the bat the prophet gets into the "doom and gloom."  That Bible of yours is absolutely chock full of the doom and gloom todays cotton candy preachers do not want to hear.

Trump was pulled into the Divine timeline to keep it on track with the timing the Lord has ordained for the end.  Trump will not change one single Word written to us about what is coming upon this world in the days ahead.  Most of what is coming for this world is absolutely horrific.  But I guess we should sugar coat that message for the "no doom and no gloom" message that has gained traction today.

The message in the Bible has not changed from Bush, to Clinton, back to Bush, to Obama and now Trump.  We are to pray and repent, stay in the Word and walk with our God day in and day out.  Every Word He uttered is coming to pass at the speed He has ordained.  The flavor of the month preaching tells us that America is not under judgement.  Really?  I would argue that all of the previous presidents were judgements upon America, every one of them.  We have been taken to lower and lower lows every 4 years, but America is not under judgement...…

What does the Word say?

Is 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

Trump is a reprieve from the judgement we have been under but many, many problems remain.  Since Trump has taken office the Lord has done a wonderful job of flushing the enemies of mankind out into the open.  The globalist politicians and their accomplices in government beaurocracy, the mainstream media and a whole host of major corporations have shown their true anti-Christ colors in the recent past.  Seeing the forces arrayed against us has caused some to repent and pray in a way they have not before.  Repentance and prayer can go a long way toward averting judgement and disaster for a people and their land

2 Chron 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Anyone who comes along trying to sell you a one dimensional God needs to be immediately characterized as a false prophet.  Our God is a God of the carrot and the stick.  Yes, He comforts us and loves on us but that is not all He does.  Does our God threaten us?  Yes, over and over again.  A simple example here illustrates both:

Gal 6:8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

This is a threat---Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction;
This is a loving promise---whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

For good measure He is our Lord talking directly to the 7 Churches of Revelation:

Rev 2:2I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 4Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 6But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

This is a threat----- 5Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

This is a glorious promise---- 7He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

This is what the Lord says about todays cotton candy, preach the pleasant but avoid everything unpleasant preachers, teachers and so called "prophets:"

2 Tim 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

Our God spent alot of time on the "doom and gloom" message this world does not want to hear.  Most of the prophets and almost the entire book of Revelation is doom and gloom (for this world and those who adhere to its ways).  That is a warning both to the world and to the Church:  

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

2024

There have been 4 major volcanic eruptions this year that I can count off the top of my head:

Hawaii

Guatemala

The Philippines

and

Japan

What's going on?  Grand solar minimum.  While the fake news tells us all that we are the cause of all the earth's problems, the world and the sun that powers it are experiencing some major changes.  Why is it that the fake news and the governments of the world don't want to admit the truth?  Because the truth points directly to our God and that they cannot accept.  Everything our Lord told us was going to happen is in the process of happening.  How can people fall asleep while these major changes take place in the world around us?  Because 1.  its not happening directly to them (yet) and 2.  It takes place over time, usually years instead of days.

What does any of this have to do with 2024?  I have seen evidence pop up over and over again that now cannot be ignored.  Remember the great American solar eclipse of 2017 that crossed the nation from west to east?  Remember there is a follow up great American eclipse coming exactly 7 years later which falls....guess when?  2024.  If Trump wins re-election, guess when he will be winding down his presidency?  2024.  I'm seeing forecasts by the financial legend Martin Armstrong that put major world financial turning points in 2024.  I'm seeing where sites that tell us we are experiencing global cooling not global warming pointing to the worst of the solar minimum effects being see guess when?  Around 2024.

So what?  So major, major changes are on the way.

Rev 6:7And when the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature

 say, “Come!”  8Then I looked and saw a pale horse. Its rider’s name was Death, and Hades

 followed close behind. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill by 

sword, by famine, by plague, and by the beasts of the earth.

What does this mean for us?  It means time is short, and we should pray.  Yes, as opposed to many who call themselves Christians yet deny the power of prayer (they claim its "doing nothing" while voting etc is "doing something."  <---the about="" all="" and="" apostasy="" can="" change="" changes="" do="" everything.="" heart="" impact="" is="" nbsp="" of="" p="" prayer="" something="" there="" things.="" touch="" very="" we="">
Mark 11:22And Jesus answering, says to them, “Have faith from God. 23Truly I say to you that whoever shall say to this mountain, ‘Be you taken away and be you cast into the sea,’ and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he says takes place, it will be done for him. 24Because of this I say to you, all things whatever praying, you also ask, believe that you receive, and it will be to you.

Ask, seek, knock, believe and watch what happens.  Our God never told us to watch what happens then roll over and play dead.  Our God's definition of "doing something" is radically different from the people of this world.  The people of this world idea of doing something is to engage the carnal...they get their shovels out to move molehills. The child of God gets on their knees in prayer and moves mountains.  Yes, many times the Lord will tell us to get our shovels out to move molehills as well but lets be very clear about who is doing all of the heavy lifting and how exactly that heavy lifting is being done.

Zech 4:6 So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.

Wickedness in High Places: Great Britain

Recently Tommy Robinson (a UK citizen) was arrested for livestreaming a Muslim rape gang trial in Britain.  So what?  So people in high places in Britain are 1.  actively protecting Muslim rapists while 2. actively suppressing their own Christian citizens.  And?  So far the response by a few citizens has been to protest.  Unfortunately, the UK government could care less about its own citizens protesting.  They have an agenda and that agenda is the promotion of Islam.

I would suggest to Christians in the UK, Germany, France and every other country where Islam is being actively promoted by the government while Christianity is being suppressed, to use weapons that really fight darkness.  The way you fight darkness is with light.

Matt 5:14 "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.

Right now, the governments of the west think they have the upper hand over their citizens, and in most cases they are correct because the citizens are not praying in the answers to their problems.  The governments of the west are employing the power of the state against their own citizens.  In order to counter that, Christians should be employing the power of heaven against those governments through prayer and fasting.

Instead of organizing outside government buildings to protest they should be organizing to pray and fast together to bring down the wickedness in high places in their governments and over their country.  The problem starts in the spiritual realm then it extends down to the physical realm.  What  do the spirits over the U.K. care if people protest?  They could care less.  Start praying and fasting for righteousness to be restored and for wicked strongholds in high places to be brought down and yes, they will start caring in a hurry....

Prayer works.  Prayer moves mountains.  Prayer raises up and brings things down.  Prayer brings to bear the power of our Father's Kingdom from heaven down to this earth.  If you want to see real change, then really pray.  Its that simple.  Fast, pray and continue to do so in faith and patience and watch the powers of this world shudder....

Patience

Rev 3:8I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

The Lord is speaking to the Churches ^^ in Revelation 2-3 and what does He say is required to be kept from the hour of temptation?  Patience.....Note carefully the words the Lord uses:  1. Patience and 2. Hold fast.  What is He saying?  Just hold on.  These are not aggressive, offense words.  These are defense words.  Buckle down, dig in and wait.  The way the Spirit of the Lord speaks to this writer through the Word is to 'highlight' in the minds eye and the spirit certain sections of the Word when it is being read.  This section was highlighted for your writer today.

An open door has been set before us.  No man can close it.  Glory to God.  We are in need of faith and patience.

Heb 6:2That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Time is passing by quickly.  Next month we will be halfway through 2018!  This writer will encourage you with the Words the Spirit has used to encourage me:

Pr 3:3Let love and faithfulness never leave you;

bind them around your neck,

write them on the tablet of your heart.

4Then you will win favor and a good name

in the sight of God and man.

5Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

6in all your ways submit to him,

and he will make your paths straight.^a

Time is short and growing shorter every day.  One day soon all of us will be standing before the Lord our God to answer for our days here on earth.  Let us be doing those things that are good and pleasing in His sight.  Let us do the good our hands find to do and walk with our God in love and faithfulness.  Then on that day we stand before Him we will not be ashamed.

2 Peter 1:3According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Real Trouble Unless The Lord Intervenes

One thing the Lord has made clear through recent events (like the election of Trump) is He can intervene at any time to reverse or delay current events heading in the wrong direction.  Hillary looked like a shoe in for president which would have hastened the entire world over the cliff into world communism and chaos.  Thankfully, the Lord had other plans.  What we appear to have now (at least politically) is a delay that have shifted events down an alternative timeline.

So what is the real trouble the world is facing today?  This:

Toward the end of the video he puts up a chart that shows what kind of trouble this world is facing starting as early as the end of this year.  Think about the possibility of food becoming more scarce combined with a global population that is increasingly at each other's throats.  Think about how hostile people have become with each other today when shelves are still fully stocked with food, the electricity is still on and water still makes it into your house on demand.  Then imagine what would happen once the already hostile population started to become inconvenienced by one another over basic necessities.

Now that we have imagined how things will be let us consider what the Lord said is coming:

Rev 6:3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

4And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat

thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there

was given unto him a great sword.

The Third Seal: Famine

5And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see.

And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in

his hand. 6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of

wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not

the oil and the wine.

The Fourth Seal: Death

7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say,

Come and see. 8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him

was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth

part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts

of the earth.

Looking at the information we have at our fingertips it would not be a far stretch to imagine the tribulation starting anytime over the next year or two.  That said, could the Lord perform another Divine intervention and push the timeline out again?  Sure, He could.  The question is, will He?

As the guy in the video says, this agricultural crisis should be front page news for every news outlet in the world, but instead we get "everything will be fine as soon as Trump is out of office."  Trump should be the least of anyone's worries.

So where does all this leave us?  It leaves us with a serious and ever increasing need to pray.  We need to be praying for peace (while 100% of western politicians are trying to instigate war).  We need to pray for our food supply (while the worlds animals and plant life-our food supply-is being eradicated.  We need to pray for all mankind that they will turn to a saving faith in Jesus Christ.  We need to pray without ceasing about everything, all the time because the fabric that holds this world together is quickly coming unraveled.

Why is the fabric that holds this world together coming unraveled?

Col 1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

In Him, in Christ, all things hold together.  Remove Jesus Christ and the results are predictable.

If you want to know what the good news is in all this doom and gloom, its this:  the Church, His Body is still on this earth.  What does that mean?  It means this:

Matt 5:13“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

14“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

This world still has salt and light in it, and that salt and light is you and me.  The true Body of Christ has been given power over all things.  We have been given power to move mountains:

Matt 17:20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

You read that ^^ correctly, nothing is impossible for us.  The one thing this world hates as much as the Jew is the Christian.  Little do they understand that we are the only thing standing between them and hell on earth.

Babylon and The Last Days

President Macron of France visited the U.S. recently and spoke to Congress.  What did he have to say?  Globalism is good, nationalism is bad.  He is a globalist like 99% of both Democrats and Republicans and most other world leaders.  What is it with these globalists?  Why the push to remove borders and national boundaries?  Because there is a spirit working in and through the politicians of this world.  Which spirit?  The spirit of anti-Christ, the spirit of Babylon.  As the Bible tells us, there is nothing new under the sun:

Ecc 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

You mean the world has seen this before?  yes, multiple times.  What was behind Hitler's thousand year reich idea?  What was behind the world revolutionary plans of communism?  What was behind Alexander's plan to conquer the world?  The same spirit:

Genesis 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 3And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Why is the spirit of anti-Christ trying to construct a one world government?  Why are politicians pushing integration and 'inclusiveness'?  Is it because they have found some deep love for the humanity they have exploited their entire careers?  Hardly.  They are working for the father of lies, the adversary.  They are working toward what they have always worked toward: Mystery Babylon.
Unfortunately for them, the Lord has plans for Babylon as well:

Rev 18:1And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

As our corrupt politicians have pushed for inclusion and diversity, what has the Lord done in response?  He has created division.  Have you ever wondered why the harder they push racial issues and ecumenicalism, the divide has grown larger?  The harder they push one way, the more push back they get in the opposite direction.  There is a reason Trump was elected.  In years past there is no way he would have stood a chance but because of the radical push to the left by our politicians, the media and globalist corporations, an opposite reaction took place pushing back to the right.  None of this was coincidence.  All things serve the Lord our God, whether they know it or like it or not.

There is a movie on Amazon that I highly recommend called The Enemies Within.  It should be a real wake up of just how close we came to going off the edge of the cliff had Clinton won the presidency.  It is also a sobering wake up call that shows how the clock is ticking on America, the western world, and Israel by extension.  The democrats in America could care less about immigrants but they push for them to invade the west knowing that 80% of them will vote democrat in elections.  What does that mean as millions of immigrants flood the west, and become eligible to vote?  What it means is, unless the Lord performs another miracle for the United States, there will never be another republican president again, ever.  Not that the republicans are much better but the Democrats/Socialists, are actually closet communists who are in bed with radical Islam to overthrow the governments, institutions and cultures of the west.

How could this happen ^^?  How could the western world find itself staring in the face of its own destruction?  Look no further than the rejection of our Father in heaven and our Savior Jesus Christ.  That is how we arrived here.  Of course this should be no surprise to us as our Lord told us what would happen a couple thousand years in advance.

We need to thank the Lord our God for the reprieve He has given us from the onslaught that continues against us each and every day.  With Trump, we have been given a little more time before the communists and their radical Islamic partners take over.

So now what?  What can we do?

While we are on this earth, all the power of heaven is available to us.  We can bind and loose.  We can move mountains through prayer.  We need to pray.  We need to pray that the Lord will continue to expose and destroy the powers that work against us both in the heavens and here on earth.  Our God never told us to roll over and play dead.  He also never told us to get involved with the corrupt political systems.  He did tell us to pray without ceasing.

1 Thess 5:16Rejoice evermore. 17Pray without ceasing. 18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19Quench not the Spirit. 20Despise not prophesyings. 21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22Abstain from all appearance of evil.

That means pray about everything, all the time.  Never stop.  Why?  Prayer makes a difference.  Prayer changes things.  Prayer moves all kinds of mountains, including corrupt political mountains.

The odds stacked against us seem overwhelming, but that's just how our Lord likes it.  What appears to be overwhelming odds to us is a yawn and pinky finger work for our God.  Our Lord is not worried in the slightest about what the globalist satanic coven plans to do to this world.  Our God, The Almighty has plans of His own and it is His will, and His plans that stand.

9Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God,

and there is none like me,10Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient

times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all

my pleasure:

Glory to God.

May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be yours in abundance.

Problem and Solution

The problems we face are obvious and all around us.  The solution to those problems are found in the Word of our God and Father in heaven.  It has been said here many times before but it is worth repeating, the problems this world faces are not social, not racial, not economic, not political....they are spiritual.  Spiritual problems demand spiritual solutions.  Its that simple.  The only solutions that are going to work come from the Word of the Living God.

Sometimes its important to remember these things as we look around us and see this world bent on destruction.  It was all, 100% foretold thousands of years ago.  Our God told us what is coming, He told us how to deal with it and His record is flawless.  Keep going back to your book of solutions, which is your Bible.  Pray without ceasing about all things large and small.  Believe you have received what you are asking for.

James 5:16 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
