Some really important things are being revealed of late. Much phenomenal wisdom is being divulged to all who choose to listen. I understand that the offer of salvation is available to folks – it always has been – but recently, here in our times, the Lord is extending His hand to us in marvelous ways that He hasn’t done before. He knows, as we should, that the time is growing short for mankind. He’s giving us some special tools nowadays with which to fight these battles.

Every day when we roll out of bed, we automatically assume things will go today just as they have every other day in the past. That’s human nature, but what if today something astounding happens? I’m not necessarily talking about the end of the world, although it could happen, but maybe something seemingly simple and of no apparent consequence to the larger events of the world yet still may have drastic consequences to our experience. Maybe this is the day God has decided to open our eyes and our hearts to something profound that has been hidden from us until now.

Considering the notion that people tend to read words in verses without really digging in to what they’re saying, we have to concentrate on a different level to understand the dynamics involved, but the Bible says we have to initiate our own understanding: [ Deuteronomy 4:29]: “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” and [Matthew 7:7]: “”Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” There are several iterations of the same concept in other places, but in each one the accomplishment of gaining wisdom starts with the (soon-to-be) believer determining to learn. Knock, seek, ask – the Lord needs to know that we are serious about searching for Him. Each action is also promised to have a desired outcome – can you see it? He assures us that our serious search for Him will be heard and His presence revealed.

If you want wisdom, ask for wisdom; if you would like to know God, seek Him in truth. Jesus said [Matthew 5:8]: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God”. Pure in heart means we’re not just looking around for information to win an argument or any other motivation that isn’t up front. We actually have to approach God with an earnest desire to learn who He is and how to honor Him. We need to realize that our entire substance never deserves even His acknowledgement, He doesn’t owe us anything. Our reason for desiring His presence in our lives or even desiring to learn about Him has to be honest and sincere and we must show Him we seriously want to know Him. We have to accept that we are sinful creatures unworthy of His time, we cannot love Him as we are told we must, without knowing who He is, and in order to love Him we must above all else, come to Him with a pure heart – a sincere, heartfelt desire to communicate with Him – not because of who we are, but because of who He is. This experience we call life, even though we get caught up in it and distracted to no end, is all about Jesus Christ and not about us – outside the premise that the burden is on us to seek Him – and seek Him diligently. That’s our part, and if we’re serious, we’ll find Him – He promises that.

A big part of seeing God is understanding how to do so, or what it means to “see” Him. If you remember, the Bible says no man can see God and live, and even Moses had to partially hide himself in God’s presence and then he could only see God from behind. So how do we know that even if we are pure at heart, we’ll be able to see Him? Well first of all because Jesus said we would and that in itself is enough, but then there is that death thing…

God has a lot of marvelous methods, supernatural powers that we can experience in ways that we only understand when they overtake us. For instance, we can experience what I call a Spiritual lift – and not understand what just happened except that we liked it. Everyone who has ever meditated on the Lord has probably had those fleeting moments when something wonderful overtakes our senses and leaves us with a fervent desire for more of it, but alas, for our experience here it is but a moment of joy, only a memory. As we search more and more diligently – and always with a pure heart – we seem to enjoy more of these moments and may not realize that these are the times when we are “seeing” God – and without our eyes! I’ve not reached that plateau in my experience (yet) in which this “Spiritual high” is constant, and there may not be any living in the flesh who have done so, but who knows? Maybe Diedrich Bonhoeffer or John the Baptist were there in those last days before their execution – I’d like to think so. Is the sensation we get in our very heart when we see that beautiful wildflower in reality a form of our being allowed to “see” Him? When we are down and heartbroken over losing someone or some beloved pet and suddenly a profound peace of mind takes us and we wonder where that feeling came from, it’s Him telling us He’s there and we can be at peace in the solace of His love.

I’ve been writing a lot about the state of the world lately and it’s seriously getting tough to experience. There’s death and destruction on a scale that our edition of mankind has never seen before. Remember – when fear, sorrow, or worry threaten to subdue us and that sudden peace of mind happens, that’s God letting us know He’s in charge of our fate and we can stop worrying. We, after all, have a choice in the matter of trusting Him. Or we can fret and worry…

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

If my readers have noticed some unusual activity on this site lately, it’s because of some garbage that’s getting through from outside my site, so in order to confuse the procedure, I’ve pretty much deleted the bulk of the site content. The stats reporting have been unexpectedly revealing a complete audit of my site – I do not know by whom nor even why it’s happening, but due to the extreme events in the world these days, my guess is that because this site has become a bastion for a select few Christian believers, even though it is just a small thorn in the side of the enemy, they are looking for ways to either interrupt it, which they have done to an extent, of just shut it down. Meanwhile, I’m still trying to warn people.

Things are going south in the world really fast now; people who pay attention are worried. I try, using whatever information I can post, to encourage folks in their Spiritual preparation for what’s to come, and believe me, Jesus Christ is the only fortress we have to turn to. The western US is running out of water pretty fast. Now I understand that people don’t like to think about it, but it’s happening – Lake Mead will reach what they call deadpool in a short while, and just what are some 40 million people in the desert southwest going to do when a) Their power goes off – permanently, b) No water comes out of the tap? There will be an environmental disaster leading to a devastating migration of thirsty Americans looking for a place to survive! They might be able to last a little while without electricity, but only a few days without water.

When the hydroelectric power shuts down due to there not being enough water to turn the turbines, there won’t be any pumps to pump whatever drops might still be available. There won’t be any power to pump gasoline into cars to try and migrate to more survivable environs. They aren’t thinking ahead and getting out of the desert while they have opportunity – they’re going to wait, hoping against hope that some miracle will happen to save them. When it happens, it will happen all at once. I don’t know about anyone else, but for some reason I don’t think Donald Trump and his clown car of a cabinet are the right people to be in charge of things when we will need extraordinary leadership, and even with such, there’s really nothing folks can do but relocate. But where to?

Florida and Georgia are in a devastating drought at this writing. Wildfires – a thing unheard of in Florida in April – are ravaging the southeastern US, and Florida is running short on fresh water. The Mississippi River is being reported to be running low with no real promise of recovering. Extreme weather phenomena are occurring around the world – Wellington New Zealand just underwent catastrophic flooding. New Zealand – Middle Earth!

I’ve written on Campi Flegrei, the super volcano in Italy, that has been stirring of late, and it’s nearby companion, Vesuvius, is rumbling again. Vesuvius is the one that wiped out Pompeii and Herculaneum back in 70 AD. Naples and the surrounding area could be in serious trouble if either one of those two were to massively erupt. Volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest of the US are showing signs of activity. A super typhoon just devastated the Northern Marianas and Guam. A devastating wildfire just hit on the 19th in Malaysia that burned thousands of shanty homes. Where will those poor people go?

Folks, I’m not trying to be all doom and gloom, but the world is reaching a breaking point. All the leaders can seem to do is conduct war and intentional death, as if natural catastrophes aren’t enough. Foolish wars are not the solution to the ills of the world right now. The western US is headed for disaster, and all the president is worried about is whether his hair looks just right for the TV shots. Or someone giving him some kind of contrived “peace” prize. This is not the man we need as we face imminent disaster here in the US. I’m not sure anyone is capable of leading the country through what’s coming, but this guy certainly isn’t.

There is an answer to our problems, but so few people can see it. Jesus Christ told us of these hard times that would devastate the world in the end days. He knew what was to come, and He assured us that under His guidance, there would be some of us who would be saved. I’m not saying we will finish this on our feet, but there’s a better time ahead for His people in the next life. That’s the one we should be concerned about – this world is finished – it’s too bad more people can’t see it, but most folks don’t want to think about the dark times ahead. Everyone wants to try whatever preparations they can to survive whatever apocalypse might be in the offing, and that’s just not going to work! If people do not have Jesus Christ living in their hearts, they will perish – both in this life and the one – the real one – ahead.

We can trust Jesus and have some peace of mind that no matter what disaster we have to face, we’ll ultimately overcome it all, or we can spend our last days in fear of this darkness that’s spreading everywhere. I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m looking to the Lamb of God Who will ultimately rule. You should too – you’ll be eternally glad you did.

There are a few of us who are still shouting from the mountaintops. Folks need to listen and trust the Lord Jesus while they still can. He will accept you – He loves you more than you can even imagine! He even loves you enough to have died so you could be saved from this disastrous world. Things are seriously getting bad, folks, and there’s not a lot of time left to decide. Get right with the Lord asap!
