Now, how does one become an available vessel? There are just 3 criteria.......

Do we obey the Laws of Moses, do we create our own laws, or do we really know and understand what God requires of us? Such important questions need to be addressed, otherwise, everyone does what is right in their own eyes.

The Bible doesn’t serve to answer every question or fill in the blanks. That job belongs to the Holy Spirit. The purpose of Scripture is to lead us to God. Once we find God, the Holy Spirit is given to continue our training and learning in tandem with the Scriptures.

The word abomination in the Bible has gone through a lot of reinterpretations and redefinitions. 

Some, probably many, will now go the route of saying Jesus accepted all sinners because He sat with them, therefore, this behavior is also accepted. No, He sat with sinners to show His love for them, no matter their sin, to tell them the truth, to offer open forgiveness, and to bring them to repentance.

They could have bowed down and worshipped that golden statue and saved themselves that day, but they didn’t. They chose God because they were faithful, steadfast and didn’t give a crap what others were doing around them.

As the claps get closer, I feel the panic rising, my heart races, and my body revolts. With each new clap, I’m dragged backward in time. I try to stop the fall. I kick and scream, flailing my arms out, but I’m not able to hold on to the here and now. I don’t want to go back there.

You don’t ask why does God allow suffering because you’re curious. You ask it because something inside you is crumbling with anguish. This isn’t really a question born from curiosity. It’s more like a scream we turned into words.

The church has lost its fire, and adrift with new leaders taking control that are not inspired by God. This causes the flock of believers to get further into the clutches of Satan and his parasites.

Unchecked anger is a doorway for spiritual attack, and this includes fear that leads to anger and resentment. I know this on a personal level, and I’ve seen the damage such an attack can produce. Even this very morning I was in conversation with a family member and in the discussion, I started thinking about the various trials and difficulties I had to overcome as a son of a sharecropper from the American South.

The promise of good spirituality is contingent upon the believer being born of the Holy Spirit. It’s an essential step, or you leave yourself wide open to spiritual attacks of all types and will be powerless to defeat them.

Then, in a moment of bitterness and anger, I just became weary of it all. I made a conscious choice and whispered the words “take captive my thoughts.”

I couldn’t skirt around it, I couldn’t “back burner” it any longer. Once faced with it, it wasn’t going anywhere. The Holy Spirit made sure of that, I was being convicted to make a choice.

Your life is forever intertwined with the person you are caring for. If you’ve been one or are one, you know exactly what I mean. Being a caregiver can be a whole other type of hell.

My objective is to warn you, the reader, not to get too comfortable in the concept of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the church BEFORE the coming tribulations.

The trust involved with handling these big ole’ bowling pins getting tossed in the air heading straight for the bridge of my delicate nose or my one of a kind smile. 

There are many opinions regarding this topic, but nearly everyone I talk to hasn’t looked at Scripture to get the answer.

There is a certain truth to the idea of a deep state. In fact, there is a deep state that is extremely deep as to be utterly unseen.

To fulfill God’s promises and raise the combined nation of Israel, the children of Abraham, to become chief among the nations and experience the glory God promised. This is necessary to occur BEFORE the revelation of the final form of the Kingdom of God!

I consider it quite rude and controlling to do so. Plus. Scripture also makes this a mute argument.

I kicked off on a journey of detailing every single blessing of the LORD in a diary. I did it for about 40 days then quit! But, I didn’t quit out of ingratitude, but from the reality that even if I’m given the whole world as a journal, it still cannot contain all of the blessings of GOD in my life.

I’m going to discuss something I haven’t touched on before, I had the opportunity to have a conversation with a young lady about her personal experiences during the pandemic since she was in school at the time. 

I propose that our country and, specifically, our children, have gone through a trauma. Then layer that with the constant warning signs everywhere, being treated like a walking contagion, apps that connected you with infection rates in your area giving out alerts, businesses going out, non-stop social media posts, death tolls up on every news station, and being blocked from even participating in holidays, birthdays, weddings, or funerals. 

If you choose to believe in Science, you indeed will be limited by the same. However, if you choose rather to put your solace in someone who is greater than science, your life will definitely produce results that rationality and science can’t explain!
