Victory Today

Many tell me they are amazed God hasn't sent Jesus to return before now. The question is not IF but WHEN. Whenever that day comes there is a day before that day and we will face the great cloud of witnesses spoken of in Hebrew 12.

Hebrews 12 talks about a "great cloud of witness" who were slain and horribly persecuted for their faith who are in heaven watching us. Pastors killed for preaching what others today are afraid to mention. People who have watched their children slaughtered for teaching them the Lord's prayer while they won't even read the Bible to them. May God wake up this generation.

Obviously many are looking for the day of the Lord's return BUT there is a day coming before that day. Likewise many forget that when the Lord returns any and all who do not know Christ are left behind and all who are raptured stand before Him and give an account of our lives.

Family challenges and divisions. Putting mom or dad in nursing homes? When I think Jesus will come. What I think about Iran. Choosing the right church.

There are wicked patterns developing that are Satan's attcks on God's people, the church, our children and the traditional moral values of our countries. Beware!

One of Satan's biggest tools is to keep reminding us of our past that Jesus has forgiven. Ps.103 says our sins are removed as far as the east is from the west ---you can go east but you will never reach the west. Buried in the deepest sea---the deepest sea is 64,000 feet deep! Your pasr is gone NEVER to be remembered by Him!

Never in my life time has the enemy thrown so much wickedness in the path of people to try and trip them up. We are all tempted at times but whether we yield to it is our decision. We are all a composite of the decisions we have made whether good or bad. Thank God He loves and forgives and if we trust Him He will completely restore.

The biggest mistake many of us have made is when we take our departure and let go of the hand of God. I made that mistake when I was 17 and left home. Taking our departure is the start down a road to sin that is destine to take one farther than you ever intended to go. The good news is there is a God who loves you and stands ready and desires to forgive and restore. He is the only hope there is fo...

When we get to heaven and find out all that God has kept from happening! Do not let go of that one little spark of hope. Never quit believing! Tailor made grace. What is going to happen in Iran? The secret blessing to giving.

There is a fantastic blessing in giving. Remember "For God so loved the world He gave." The way to being blessed is to give.

You can't stop a man with a dream. Go it in bite size pieces. You can with His help and His power

When God says "where yjere is no vision the people perish" Satan licks his chops feeling like he can devour you. God has a plan for your life but so does the enemy. You have the power and promises of God to keep that from happening.

The main goal of Satan is to get you so focused on the "nasty now" you let go of your dreams and you vision and become so caught up in worry you forget all the benifits of being a child of the King!

Will the earth be destroyed by fire? What disturbs you most about what is happening in the world today? The desperation of young people. Lack of straight forward tell it like it is preaching. The call to God's people in these days. People more worried about the price of gas than being nuked!

When we never find and do the will of God for our lives it is not just we who miss out. What about those God had a plan for us to reach for Him. The Billy Grahams, Billy Sundays, D.L. Moodys and so many more. His plan includes reaching others with our light and being His salt. 

We are here right now because that was God's plan for our lives and though we may questions the whys and whats of various circumstances this one thing I know---He is totally in control and He has a purpose for every question we ask why to!

Sadly, no one under the age of 50 has ever seen a moral America and probably for the last 15 to 20 years a "civil" America. I have heard from many wishing for the "good old days." Alas, you and I are here now---for such a time as this---by God's design. This is our time to live and trust and be the light of the world and the salt of the earth.

As specific as God made you whether it's your eye color, finger prints, DNA, retena scan, etc.---He has a very specific will for your life. A permissive will and a perfect will!

Dear Pastor B, "What keeps you going?" What do you feel about homeschooling? Christian achools? What should a parent know about a public school teacher? Truth about Noah's Arc?

Have you ever felt unworthy? Well we all are! Unworthy---undeserving---none of us deserve the forgiveness and love and blessing of God BUT He said it and promises it and our job is to claim it and understand we are all broken people deserving of hell BUT God "so loved us" and if we all only remember where we were when He found us and how far He has brought us!

The rich man came to Jesus and said he wanted to follow Jesus completely. Jesus examined him and said, "One thing thou lackest." May we all swlf examine ourselvesto see what might be standing between Jesus and us!

The commandment is to LIVE by faith. I really feel far to many may HAVE faith but not LIVE by faith. Josuha left two thirds of what God wanted to give him unclaimed. How much of what God wants to do for us are we leaving behind unclaimed?

Josuha 1 God told Josuha and the people that He would give them everywhere where their foot trod. They only covered one third of the land He wanted to give them---they left two thirds unclaimed. What are we leaving unclaimed.

What if someone knows they were suppose to follow God's will earlier in life but didn't. Is it too late? Questions about my medical scare. About the days of Noah? How do you forget your past. Paul said "forgetting those things which are behind."

In Gen. 18:17 God says, "Should I withhold from Abraham what I am about to do?"  I am going to have a frank conversation with you today about what I feel God is doind and the events surrounding us today. Brace yourself and please pray God will give you an open mind.
